The Promise You Make
75. Nadia's Mistake

"Where do you know that I work here?" adisti asked with a sharp look towards Haris.

The man laughed out loud, then said, "What the hell can't Haris know? Even all about you I know. Do I need to describe one by one everything I know?"

"No need for a lot of nonsense. Just tell me what brought you here? I don't have a lot of time to serve your unqualified words," Adisti sidestepped cynically.

"Woe! That's grand! I just want to talk to my cousin-to-be, is something wrong?"

"I told you I'm doing a lot of work now so you better get out of here."

Adisti was really infuriated by Haris' shameless behavior. He had been trying so hard to control himself, but it seemed like the man just kept on luring him. Maybe they should use violence.

"Unfortunately I don't want to. I still want to be here looking around where you work. Who knows, later here I get a soul mate and we can get married together, it must be fun."

"I'll repeat it again, Haris. I beg you to leave here immediately. I don't want to make a fuss so, hurry up and get out of here."

"I told you I didn't want to." Haris immediately precedes the woman to enter the boutique. Adisti also gave the code to the security guard to block Haris' move.

"What the fuck! Why are you blocking my way?" haris shouted at the man in front of him.

"I'm sorry, sir, you've disturbed the peace in this boutique so, I hope you leave before I act rudely" said the security guard standing guard in front of the boutique.

"I'm a cousin of a boutique owner, how can you throw me out?"

"But unfortunately I ordered him to expel you myself so, you better get out of here, before I called the police station because you've been making noise here and making visitors at the boutique uncomfortable."

"Come, Dis! I'd like to take a look around where you work. Why do you have the heart for me to do something like this."

"I don't care what you want to do. I've been very familiar with what's in your head so, before you do your wish you'd better get out of here."

Haris clenched his hands, he tried to keep smiling and be nice. The man finally left there too. Later, if there is a chance, he will definitely come to the boutique again.

"Sir, later if that person comes again just throw it out. Whatever he says, don't be influenced. Anyway I don't want him to go inside the boutique" Adisti told the security guard after Haris was not seen.

"Good, Mom. I'll do it."

Adisti nodded and immediately went inside his button. Naina and Nadia are waiting. Some employees looked at him as well.

"Who was that, Mom? Why does it seem to be angry?" tanya Nadia who has never met Harus, even though she has been working for a long time on Adisti.

"not nobody. Forget it, you guys go back to work and Nadia you come to my room. I have something to talk to you about."

Adisti steps into her room and is followed by Nadia, while Naina returns to her workplace. The employees also returned to serve the buyers who had stalled because they were curious about what happened to their superiors.

"Sit down!" adisty's orders to his assistant. Nadia nodded and sat down in front of her superior table.

"What can you explain this?" adisti asked while handing over a map he got from Naina yesterday to Nadia's front. The assistant opened the map and saw what it contained and was surprised to see it. But try to look confused.

"What does Mom mean? I don't understand at all. Why show the boutique financial details? What's my connection to all this? Isn't this Naina's responsibility now?"

"To be precise, Naina worked here only a few months, while there was a spending of money about a year ago and that is still up to your responsibility. Now you can explain where and what the money is for. How could two months ago there be an unknown income of money of the same amount. Just tell me the truth. You know, don't you think I like being lied to the least? If I knew what was really going on, I wouldn't be afraid of that person either."

Nadia gulped her rough saliva, carefully staring at her superior while bowing her head. He didn't mean to be mean to Adisti.

"I'm sorry, ma'am," he said slowly

"I'm sorry? Sorry for what?" ask Adisti who pretends not to know so that the girl in front of him will admit his mistake.

"I admit that I made a mistake. I was also forced to do it, it was all because Sata needed the money for my mother's treatment."

"Your mother's treatment? But why steal? Couldn't you easily borrow it from me? I also never mind lending it."

"I'm not stealing, Mom. I just borrowed it, I have also returned the money with a nominal patient without less than a rupiah," said Nadia who did not like the words of her boss.

"Taking someone else's property without the owner's consent is what is his name if not stealing? You did return it according to the amount you took, but still you took the restaurant money!"

"I'm sorry, Mom. I really did not mean to do evil. I really needed money for my mom."

Adisti took a deep breath, confused as to what decision to make. However, Nadia has been working for him and has never done anything wrong. This time it was just this and it was outrageous. If he forgives his assistant, afraid that later other employees will think if he is not firm with people who have made mistakes. However, if firing Nadia also does not have the heart. Moreover, Nadia is also the backbone of the family.

"Alright, I forgive you this time, but you are no longer my assistant. You I move as a regular employee, that's if you still want to work here."

Nadia fell silent, confused whether she still accepted the job or not. If you are now an ordinary employee, the salary will also automatically go down. The salary that was yesterday is sometimes less, especially now it must be an ordinary employee, but in this day and age looking for a job is very difficult, not necessarily he can immediately get a job. Maybe he should just accept it later while looking for another job.

"I accept it, Mom."

"Alright then, this is your last chance. If someday I see you make a mistake again, I will crack you down firmly. No apologies at all."

"Thank you, Mom. I promise I won't repeat the Same mistake."

"I keep your promise."
