Trapped In His Cage
The task
Bertha nudged April's arm to stay focused. They were in the meeting room discussing a parade for the company's anniversary to be held in three months.
“How according to enginer team?” the loud noise made everyone surprised.
“We have prepared five aircraft that will be a showcase and five jets for aerobatic” Bertha said.
“Which Jet do you use Miss Berwyn?”
The mouth that wanted to yawn closed again. The glance at Bertha could not help, as their CEO stared intently.
‘RAYMOND G3365’
“Raymond G3365, Sir” replied April, thanks to Bertha who gave her the paper coupling.
“Controlling system coordinated?”
“Sir”
“You sure?”
“Yakin” April nodded surely.
“If there is an error then Miss Berwyn will be responsible” Sean said flatly.
The entire room cleared its throat pretending not to look. No one wants to take the risk by looking at April, it could be later used as a request for help. Because their CEO's remarks are indisputable.
“..Ah one more, this is because you yawned during the meeting then add four more jets for aerobatic. Amount set too little, leave the latest data to me in the next three days”
Fists are getting stronger under the table. The work is growing more, preparing data for an additional four jets takes a week more. But the crazy devil aka his CEO is now asking for three days? Just watch out for you!
“Ehem he's your tightness isn't he? cruel once” whispered Bertha.
April replied annoyed “Not anyone just crazy CEO”
Ill-mannered. Though Sean himself caused him to yawn since then!
The meeting continued with another discussion. Sean avoided April's angry gaze aimed at him.
He is very professional at work, although it is difficult to see his woman as an employee still have to show a fair attitude. Usually if someone yawns in the meeting room, the man immediately fires him.
...****************...
“Why are you eating in a hurry?” ask Bertha.
A plate full of food that had only been taken five minutes ago was almost gone.
Her co-workers were amazed to see April eating like a starving coolie. Nothing can stop that woman. White hands show blue veins because holding a spoon is too strong.
The anger that rolled seemed to have been at the top of April's head.
“She's like wanting to kill people” Camelia shuddered in horror.
“Let it go, he was told to report new data in three days for an additional aerobatic” jet.
“Three days?!” Camelia was surprised, crazy which super power could work on that.
A large tall person was chatting with James to April's attention, up to the pot of water.
The foot was half running to reach the elevator door in front of the cafeteria.
TING
April quickly went inside with them. Inside the elevator it was a little cold.
“Heh! you gi—“ the sentence was interrupted, April looked up to the blue eyes that were staring at her sharply. Ugh he was never again stared at like this by Sean.
Instantly the guts that had been blazing became shrivelled.
“If you want to protest the meeting will not change anything. Three months away the company's birthday and the time for the aerobatic team to prepare everything is too short. You guys have been rash not to ask me first how much should be for parade”
April twists her own finger. Actually it's true, they don't ask because usually five jets is enough. But this is their new CEO, because it definitely has a different view than Jonathan Raymond.
“Raymond corp big company, should show more existence to people. Three days is the right time for you to give up everything, I'm sure of your ability”
“Didn't I tell you not to go to work this morning? but you keep pushing yourself.”.
Sean took a slow breath “If anyone sees me giving a respite to employees who yawn during the meeting, then everyone will underestimate the rules of the company”
TING
The elevator door opened, Sean came out and headed to his room. The man refused to look at April, as his heart would not bear to see her silent expression.
“Sangat” whispered James while patting his shoulder.
April sighed as the elevator doors closed. What the man said was true. He shouldn't have cleaned hard for work. But why was the meeting so sleepy.
“Stupid...Stupid April knocks her head in the elevator, condemning her actions.
Yasudah just resigned. He once did a late-night college assignment while the deadline was given the next morning. And voila the result is good, the lecturer does not protest.
Sure can!
...****************...
“Ck, a lot to check” decakkan sebali it comes from April.
Apparently can't!
The woman doubted the data would be completed in three days. Remember, this is not a lego game, but a real jet. If the transformers are real then April will bow down while pleading for their help.
“Eat this biscuit first, you said lapar”
A man named Thomas laughed at the sight. He was the lead supervisor of hangars.
April smile receive “Thank you”
They sat side by side eating biscuits. Then the man thrust out the cold water that April had received and drank it.
The woman who was busy eating biscuits beside her was very beautiful. Thomas loved it from the first time he worked. April's frequent evaluation into the hangar caught the man's attention.
The flashback
“Well he leads the supervisor, you can ask his help if need something”
The beautiful woman who was still awkward smiled shyly. He seemed clumsy to be noticed by others.
“What's your name?” ask Thomas.
“April Lilian Berwyn, just call April only”
Ah. everyone nodded in understanding. It's only natural that you become clumsy on your first day at work. Moreover, in the airplane hangar the number of men more than women is different from the main research team.
“OK.. let's follow me”
Thomas told us all the necessities the research team would need. Data requirements are also the main thing to know whether the plane is fit to fly or not.
The pen continued to record in the small note that April brought. His face was very serious and occasionally asked about things he did not yet understand.
“It looks like there is a problem with the plane's tires” April pointed towards the plane that was beside them, looking tilted.
“Sebitar”
Thoma did a check, then called his partner to fix.
“What can still be used?”
“The plane was not used because it was in the process of full repair”
April's head nodded, her eyes glancing at Thomas's black face. The man still explained to him.
“Wait a minute.it on your face there is a black” stain
show April.
“Interested?” thomas' hand rubbed his right cheek.
“Not, here let me just”
April's back rubbed the man's left cheek. But instead of disappearing even wider, he glanced at his hand which was also exposed to black stains.
“It's clean?” thomas asked, the woman in front of him laughed crisply.
He was stunned to see cute curvy beautiful eyes. It was so fatal to see that beautiful face that was laughing.
April rubbed the end of her watery eyes for laughing “Sorry. Sorry I have wet wipes”.
The wipes were not taken away, confusion and silence struck their atmosphere. Thomas regained consciousness and took the tissue he had been given.
“Ah Yes thank you”
The two smiled, subconsciously the man's face was already blushing in shame.
Flashback off
“Are you in a relationship with the CEO?”
The mouth that kept chewing on the biscuits stopped for a while. Just being quiet indicates that the rumors circulating are true. Then Thomas has no problem asking her out on a date.
“It looks like he gave you a short deadline”
“True, three days. Can you imagine that?” lamented April.
“You will be a zombie after three days” Thomas chuckles, thrusting biscuits again.
That's right, maybe his body is out of shape after three days. Remind April to avenge Sean's actions!
“I really hate jobs that require overtime, it's tiring”
“I'll help you just calm down”
“Really?” April asked enthusiastically.
“Yes, but is your partner really no one to help?”
“No, they have their respective duties”
Because the company's anniversary is soon. Then their work will increase, especially still taking care of client requests and others. So there is no real time to help with the new tasks that the CEO is giving.
April got up from her temporary break, resuming work that had to be quickly completed. Luckily Thomas was there to help.
Time goes on, it doesn't feel like it's late at night. They are both still struggling with checking data. Sometimes take a short break for dinner and then resume their work.
“You can go home Tom, it's very late today. I also want to rest already sleepy”
Thomat glanced at the clock, it's eleven o'clock at night “You're right, let's go home”
April shakes “I'll sleep in the building next to”
The building beside the hangar is dedicated to staff who sometimes keep watch until the morning.
“Don't be there, usually they will change shifts for sure you will not be comfortable. Just use my room to sleep, there is a wide sofa there more comfortable”
“Can?” april's eyes saw it.
The guy chuckles “Of course it's okay, but you're planning on staying here?”
“No, early in the morning I will go home to take a shower and change clothes then go to the office again”
“Alright then, let's follow me”
April follows Thomas from behind, and they arrive in his room. When entering the room looks neat and clean, there is a large sofa there are also pillows and blankets.
“You also sleep here often huh?”
“Iya, I don't want to join them”
They both laughed, Thomas tidied up the sofa to make April sleep more comfortably. And he lowered the temperature of the room so it wouldn't get too hot.
“Sleep, I'll go home”
April smile “Thank you Tom, sometime I will buy you”
Thomas chuckles “I'll wait, good night April”
“Goodnight”
That door is closed. April's hand checked the phone she hadn't seen. The average message and call from Sean, huh he didn't want to reply let the guy go nuts.
Disable phone? Yup!
April laughed wickedly, replacing her who was being firm. The woman threw herself down, she also set the alarm clock that was on Thomas' desk. Plan to get up early and continue with work.
It's all because of Sean! April will only be able to sleep for three days.
