The Struggle of Women
Episode 20's
Deciphering Problems. The next day, Mr. Alex has been waiting for Elma ever since the woman set foot in the lobby. With his cold face, the man in his mid-forties hinted Elma to come with him before work hours began. Since then, Elma's feelings have been made unpleasant instead of playing.
“The Personnel Department told you to go to the Treasury now. Finish everything today, and you don't have to come again from tomorrow.” The sentence was even spoken by Alex before Elma closed the door of the room, and even though Elma had prepared for the worst, reality could always feel more terrible.
“But, Sir. I did it really to keep the good name of the hotel. I do not mean to slander or accuse Mr. Liam who is not. I—”
“You still don't understand your real mistake Elma?” alex asked with sharp eyes.
Elma grimaced, knowing that whatever she said now would sound wrong and like an excuse. But Elma does it none other than to keep her job, and that's all clear because Elma has a life dependant not only for herself, but there is a Mother and Kiara who also rely on her.
“First, your mistake was not knowing Mr. Liam's face. I know he is rarely seen here, but every employee here has gone through training and is reminded to always know the hotel officials and directors. And you forgot about it? Just be right!” alex growled in thoughtless.
“Secondly, you unilaterally move without coordination with me or other superiors to crack down on guests who are in the top class of visitors to this hotel. Even if in this case it wasn't Mr. Liam involved, you shouldn't have broken through the President Suit Room as badly as your head. You should coordinate with us first!”
Alex took a breath that sounded tired, but it was still early in the morning. Especially the cause if not his emotions that have been provoked up? Seeing Elma while in the lobby just now somehow has caused his head to dizzy because considering the events of yesterday, let alone this he must explain again the wrong location of the woman so that his subordinates understand.
“Three of the most fatal, you carry around the police in this. Not just one rule you broke, but more than that!” alex snapped in frustration, it was seen from his war that Alex also got pressure from other superiors and it was because of Elma's actions.
“I don't want to hear anything more, quickly go and take care of your resignation.”
“But, Sir. I'll do anything! Whatever you want don't get fired. Let me apologize to Mr. Zian, as well as Mr. Liam personally. I beg ... Give me a chance.”
No, Elma doesn't want to lose her job. Whatever he will do, whatever the origin of his mistake this time is forgiven and he can work as usual again. This is indeed his fault and Elma does not mind if she has to apologize to the owner of this hotel.
“Apologies you said? You think they'll just forgive you?”
“Let me try it first, Sir. Let me express my apology directly. I beg..” I don't know how many times Elma repeated her sentence, but she didn't care, what Elma wanted and needed was her job back.
“I beg you, Mr. Alex. Give me a chance... I promise I will take advantage of the opportunities you give me as best I can. I promise I won't disappoint you again. I beg you, Mr.” Only a mother can do anything for the good of her child, anything for her child to be safe and well, and that is what Elma now understands after becoming a mother. Despite having to beg, despite having to suppress her ego as low as possible, Elma felt she could do it if it was for the family.
Mr. Alex was seen tapping on the surface of his desk, considering. Although Alex looks fierce and hard, actually the man is a good and caring boss. Otherwise, he might be busy explaining where Elma is, Elma will be fired when she returns from the police station yesterday. In fact? Alex considered it first, waiting for a decision from the owner regarding the fate of Elma— which finally as he expected, will be like this.
“Whatever, I don't want to know. If the matter is not resolved today, as I said. Starting tomorrow you don't need to come again,” break up Alex finally.
The man did not breed or forbid Elma to apologize to the Tanubrata family directly, but the sentence clearly freed Elma to try to maintain her position, whatever the way, whatever, including apologizing to the two young masters involved.
Elma bowed many times as a thank you. At least he was given a chance. The rest? Let God judge Elma's efforts worth defending or not.
Taking a deep breath, Elma tried to calm her now nervous self. All the tension was because he was already in front of the door of the main director room of the hotel where he worked—Pak Zian. Although he had to convey his main apology to Liam, but who knew where he could meet the man was only a Zian.
Elma did not know where the President was because during her work at the hotel, Elma obviously rarely—even almost never met with Liam, Liam, it is also what makes it not recognize the owner of the company until events like this can happen.
Alright, Elma admitted it was her fault, but in a state of panic about the safety of someone of the same sex as herself of course the incident made her feel like she had to act fast... if you keep saying the action is right, even in your heart, it really sounds like an excuse that amateurs make. So let the thought stop there, this is the time for Elma to apologize, not justify her actions for whatever reason.
“What's up here?”
The movement of Elma who was just about to knock on the door before him came to a halt. Her hand held in the air as her head turned towards the sound, and the woman was made to be shocked because of Zian's presence there. Elma hurriedly lowered her hand, turned to face Zian completely and bowed respectfully.
“Se-good morning, Mr. Zian.”
“Pagi. What are you doing in front of my room?” ask Zian again. Although for Liam this man is the cause of problems and often does not show his professionalism in work, after all Zian still maintains his duty in front of the hotel employees, he said, it was obviously because he did not want to be underestimated by anyone—except Liam or the family who knew his true character.
