After that hot romance night, I worked as usual as an intern. Do all the work that is my duty as best I can. Hoping to keep myself busy, I didn't get carried away with my own feelings. That day I felt the atmosphere of the office is not as usual. Some of these senior employees were watching me, and even all of their gestures seemed obvious if they were talking about me.
What's actually going on? I kept asking in my heart and tried to dare to ask Sandra about this.
“Sandra, is there a problem so some of the employees here see me with a strange look?” my many.
“I don't know for sure, Angelina. Because this news is still unclear. But as a co-worker close to you, I need to make sure to go straight and ask you. I don't know where it came from, but I heard about the rumors that you entered this company because of the handel of someone who has a high position at Campbell Corporation.”
The deg!
What I was afraid would eventually happen as well, but I didn't expect that it would all be revealed so soon?
“Tak is just that. Even I heard that you were in a forbidden relationship with that person,” continued Sandra, and this time her words really surprised me.
“A-what?! What does that mean, Sandra?” My two rounded nethers felt surprised by the news that seemed to corner me.
“That's what I want to ask you, is it all true or is the news made intentionally to bring you down and make your image bad in this company?” Sandra asked clearly.
Yeah, God. What should I tell Sandra? Should I tell her the truth? But it felt impossible, rather it was all too risky. Because after all, I've been involved in a contract with Henry, and one of the agreements in our marriage contract is about the confidentiality of our status to be kept from others. So there's no way I'm telling Sandra the truth. Even though we were close, I could not trust him one hundred percent yet to tell him such a sensitive story.
“That's not true, Sandra. I can go in and work in this company is the luck of my own efforts. All the news is not true. After all an ordinary person like me, it is impossible to know a person who has a high position in a big company like this Campbell Corporation,” I replied a lie, trying to deny.
Sandra sighed deeply, then smiled at me and said, “I believe now if the gossip is indeed untrue and is just a hoax made by someone who is not responsible.” Sandra held my hand and looked at me deeply, “I believe more in your words than anyone else. So you don't have to worry, because I'm still on your side, Angelina.”
Instantly my heart felt touched and at the same time felt guilty hearing the words of Sandra. Yeah, God. Ii'm sorry. I feel like a bad friend like this. Because I myself have violated Sandra's trust in me.
...
“Angelina. Can you come to my room now?” Nickollas Franklyn called me on the sidelines that afternoon.
“Good, Sir.” I answered and immediately got up to his room. From the tail of my eyes, I could see all eyes looking at me, I could guess what was on their minds right now.
“Thank you, Sir.” I don't know why he said it to me makes me nervous. I can guess if he called me this time not without reason. Is this about the news about me being a hot talk?
“Before I asked you, Angelina. Have you been comfortable working in the marketing team with my team all this time?” Nickollas.
“Sure, Sir. I'm feeling the thrill of working in this team with you and the rest of the team. Not only getting a comfortable place to work, but I also feel getting a new family here,” I replied without hesitation.
The man in his forties smiled broadly at me, “Thank God if it is like that. I'm glad to hear that. Then do you know why I'm calling you now, Angelina?” Nickollas asked fishing and I just shook my head weakly.
“I am very sorry to have to convey it to you, if possible starting tomorrow you will be transferred tasks not on my team anymore.”
“You mean, Sir?” I asked in a nervous voice, feeling confused as well as surprised.
“Yes, from tomorrow you are no longer working in the marketing team. However, you will work in the finance division under Mr. Benjamin Larkin,” explains Nickollas Franklin.
“A-what? I moved divisions in finance?” my tongue felt faint when I said that sentence.
“Yes, Angelina. I'm sure your abilities will grow there. Because I believe you have abilities and potential that are far better than just an ordinary intern,”, said Nickollas Franklin gave me a boost.
“T-but what was the reason that I had to be transferred suddenly like this, sir? Is it because I made a mistake or because of bad news about me?” I ventured to ask, for all this was too fast and strange for me.
Nickollas shook his head, his facial expression turning shady.
“No, Angelina. It is purely due to the wishes of Mr. Benjamin Larkin. He decided that you should work on his team, based on seeing your abilities that do have great potential,” explained Nickollas Franklin.
“Ta-pi Sir,” I tried to resist, but quickly Mr. Nickollas Franklin interrupted him.
“Angelina, trust me. Everything's gonna be fine. Even though you are no longer on my team, but I will not take my hands off if things happen that are not desirable to you later,” Nickollas said looking at me meaningfully.
I was silent for a moment, trying to digest and understand what he meant. Benjamin Larkin is a perverted man. In addition to his dictatorial leadership, he is also known as someone who has a bad image because of his constant war against his subordinates. That means if from tomorrow I move on to finance, just as I am in power and control. And it's the same as if I'm going to live in hell. If so, will I survive under the leadership of someone like Benjamin Larkin who is no different than Henry Bastian Campbell? I don't know why I thought this whole thing wasn't just a coincidence. Bad gossip and rumors about me are also my move like a deliberate made. If so, then who did it and what is my real motive?
