After I came out of Mr.'s room. Nickollas Franklyn, I still can't believe that I'm about to be transferred to the finance division. That should be good, right? But somehow I feel if this move feels like a coincidence. Whatever the reason, I feel like this is still too fast and weird. Could this be part of Henry's own plan, to make my work harder?
“You will be transferred to the finance department together with Mr. Benjamin Larkin?!” Sandra looked surprised to hear that.
“Iya, from tomorrow, Sandra,” I say softly.
“So fast? Gosh, why do I feel like it's a little weird?” sandra.
“I also think like that, but want how else. I can't do anything.” I tried to keep smiling even though it was still hard to part with my best friend like Sandra.
“I'll lose you, Angelina. That means we're not co-workers from tomorrow.” Sandra said softly looking at me.
“However, we can still meet ‘kan?” I smiled faintly at her.
“Of course, it must be Angelina,” Sandra's reply touching my hand gave me some encouragement.
...
The next day, I went to work with an uncertain feeling because this was the first day I started working as one of the finance interns, along with Mr. Benjamin Larkin who somehow always makes me less comfortable when face to face with him. In the company lobby I happened to meet Alan Jones.
“Hallo, Miss. Louis. How's it going? I heard you were transferred to the finance department starting today?” Alan Jones greeted me, showing off his bright smile that morning.
“True, Mr. Jones.” My reply smiled thinly.
“May you be at home, Miss. Louis. I believe you can definitely do your best.” Alan Jones said give me some encouragement.
“Thank you, Mr. Jones.”
“How about tonight I invite you to dinner to celebrate?” bring Alan Jones.
Before I could answer, someone suddenly interrupted me from behind, “Miss. Louis will be working overtime as this is his first day working in the finance section so there is no time to relax let alone dinner, Manager Jones.”
“Mr. Benjamin Larkin?”
Alan Jones and I were surprised by the sudden arrival of Benjamin Larkin behind us.
“Sorry, Mr. Larkin wouldn't I know if interns aren't allowed to overtime?” Alan Jones is of the opinion.
“It does not apply to large companies like Campbell Corporation. If Miss. Angelina Louis wants to quickly get a recommendation to be a permanent employee in this company, she must be able to quickly adjust to work in accordance with the system that has been applied in our company, he said,” Bright Benjamin Larkin with his haughty-looking attitude.
Alan Louis was about to reply back to Benjamin Larkin, but I quickly interrupted him to avoid the situation becoming heated.
“I can understand that, Mr. Larkins. Please guidance because I still need to learn a lot from you,” said I humbled.
“Good, it is one of the good ethics of an intern like you who must obey the orders of his superiors.” The man in his forties said still with his haughty attitude.
Just like Benjamin Larkin said that day he gave me a heaping job. I let out a long sigh as I looked at the pile of documents and some files that I had to learn. It is true as the employees here say, if Benjamin Larkin is a dictator. I can't complain, I have to do my job well. I kept encouraging myself many times throughout the day. It was late at night, some employees were seen coming home one by one. When I was busy with my work, Mr. Larkin called me to head to his room.
“There can I help you, Sir?” tanyaku formal.
“Sit here, I want to talk to you.” Benjamin Larkin gave the code for me to sit in front of him. His orders must have confused me.
As if knowing my doubts, Benjamin Larkin said back, “You want to refuse my orders?” he said it as if to corner me. Makes me unable to do anything but just obey.
“Do you have a lover, Angelina louis?” she asked frontally after I sat in front of her.
I spontaneously raise my head, “A-what?? What do you mean ask such a personal thing, Mr. Larkin?”
“What is a problem? I need to know a lot of whatever it is about my employees including his personal life,”.
“In my opinion that question is unethically asked by a leader like you, Mr. Larkin.” I ventured to refuse.
Benjamin Larkin stood up, he stepped closer and looked at me with a narrowed gaze.
“That's great, you've got enough guts to argue with me turns out.” The corner of her lips lifted up cynically looking at me.
“You just need to answer it, why is everything made difficult, Angelina?” The tall man is now right standing in front of me with his arms folded haughty, “Are you ashamed to say it because you have a special relationship with someone in this company?” continued again.
The deg!
“What do you mean say it to me Mr. Larkin?” I said not accept.
“It was clear what I said to you. Do I need to clarify my statement?” The man now grinned at me with a look as if mocking.
“Do you think I'm a fool like everyone else, Angelina Louis? A woman like you is unlikely to be able to break into a big company like the Campbell Corporation with just a stroke of luck. More precisely, I know if you use the advantages you have to be able to qualify in this company through the shortcut.” Benjamin Larkin said confidently.
Even though I was quite shocked, I still acted as calmly as possible so that the man in front of me did not act more arbitrarily towards me.
“Tell me what do you mean say this all to me, Mr. Larkin?” my question was clear without making eye contact with the haughty man who now looked down on me.
“Good! So you indirectly admitted it, didn't you?” Benjamin Larkin grinned, unexpectedly then he brought his face to me and whispered in my ear, “Sleep with me if you want your secret to be safe, Angelina Louis. I'll make sure your good name stays awake if you want to be my woman.”
Instantly, both of my eyes were round in disbelief, like being struck by lightning when I heard that insult-laden sentence to me. I really wanted to slap that perverted and haughty face with my hands, but I tried hard to refrain from doing so considering that I was still in the scope of the office.
“How, you accepted my offer, Miss. Louis?” Benjamin Larkin smiled smirkly at me with a perverted look.
“It looks like you misunderstood me, Mr. Larkins. Sorry, I refused it outright, because I am not the woman you have in your dirty mind!” firmly, this time I looked into his eyes with all my courage.
