Arriving at the bus stop, Almira got off the bus, walking towards the company where she worked. Just up to the company lobby, some people were staring at Almira cynically. There were also those who were whispering while looking at him, Almira had no idea why they were like that to her.
Almira kept walking into the elevator, some female employees kept a distance with Almira. Those who used to smile and greet him looked silent and indifferent to him. Shortly after Almira exited the elevator to the accounting room, she overheard three employees talking about her.
"Almira is a widow, it's worth it to work here. Most also tempting HRD Manager," said Ina.
"It's not just the HRD Manager's tease, it's more than that. He teased our President" added Aca.
"Yes, yesterday he said someone saw Almira's road with the President" said Dara.
"Most also to the hotel, usually if you miss the caress," said Ina.
"I don't think it looks good and innocent, it doesn't know uler," said Aca.
"Pump up a lot of young graduates who are better than Almira, but even Almira is accepted. If not for flirting, what else? being accepted in this company is difficult" said Dara.
"Pretty good and innocent habits are usually the wildest" said Aca.
Almira was saddened by the untrue gossip. He went into the accounting room, his friends suddenly so far away and indifferent to him. Including Nunung and Lina who are a team with Almira. But all this did not make Almira discouraged, he had already solidified his intention to work for the sake of his family. Let it all be the wind that blows away.
Almira sat down, tidied up her desk and began her work yesterday while waiting for the briefing to begin.
Hours after the break began, Almira exited the accounting room to the company cafeteria. All the employees are talking about Almira. Even they were staring at Almira from a distance until she sat down at the table. They think Almira was accepted into the company because she played with the HR Manager and the Boss.
In a different place, Evander heads to the accounting room to invite Almira to lunch together. Just as he walked in, Evander heard some of his employees gossiping about Almira.
"Almira actually******, there play with the HRD Manager and then worship our President as well" said Doni
"Yes ... widows are so, they are thirsty for affection and warmth" said Budi.
"May I also try to seicip two tasters, she is beautiful too" said Yudi.
"Three you guys must also want, ordinary widows must have been lonely for a long time" said Doni.
Hearing the words of his employee Evander was so angry. His hands were clenched, wanting to beat them to pieces but he knew it was not well done in his company, there was a much more respectable way to teach them a lesson.
Evander turned around, headed to his room, when passing through the HRD room, the rumor had also spread widely and everywhere it went. It was as if Almira was a widow who had no dignity and no honor. They sneered at Almira as they pleased. All this gossip was spread by Sasa who was so eager to get rid of Almira from his life.
Evander walked into his study and called his personal assistant to enter his room.
"Sorry the President called me?" ask Soni.
"All employees of the President?" ask Soni.
"Do I have to repeat my words twice?" ask Evander.
"Okay President" replied Soni.
Soni exited Evander's study and began informing the employees to gather in the briefing room. Soon all employees headed for the briefing room, as well as Almira. They all stood up, not knowing what to do in the room. When all the employees had gathered, Evander walked into the room, he climbed onto the podium in the briefing room.
"You all know why I gathered you all here?" ask Evander.
All the employees wondered why their President gathered all the employees. Though not in a morning briefing, Maya is also confused what Evander will do.
"I've heard the rumors that are spreading widely in this company. Gossip that is not weighted and dropped the good name of Almira. You should know, Almira was accepted into this company for her ability, having nothing to do with her widowed status. Anyone who still dares to talk bad about Almira, please quit this company! And one more thing you all need to know, who caused Almira to be my widow. I'm Almira's ex-husband. I am guilty of divorcing Almira for no definite reason. Almira is innocent and she is a good woman. So from today anyone who dares to speak ill of Almira please come face to face with me!" evander.
"Huh ..., what?" All the employees were surprised. Like hearing lightning strike, a cold and reclusive Evander turns out to be Almira's ex-husband, even he is their own Boss.
"Damn it, Evander was Almira's ex-husband, why don't I check everything first?" inner Maya angry. He didn't think it would be like this. It's gonna be a long-tailed problem.
All employees are still shocked and believe in disbelief with Evander's statement. They don't know that Almira is Evander's ex-wife. They became afraid and felt guilty about the Almira that was not-no.
Evander got off the podium, walked out of the briefing room. Almira just kept quiet and did not expect Evander to defend him in front of all his employees. He even admitted his mistake of divorcing Almira. All the employees apologized to Almira, they took turns apologizing and saluting Almira. Seeing that Maya is getting angry and overheated.
"Lina how the hell are you giving me incomplete info?" maya asked angrily to Lina.
"I didn't know that Almira was Predir's widow, I just looked at the profile in the HRD data" Lina replied.
"Eeeeeeh ..., before, why should he be Evander's widow, why didn't I know that Evander was married to Almira?" maya said that was getting upset. Almira has more value than him, he is lagging one step above Almira.
"Udah yuk, go back to the room," Lina asked.
All employees return to their own rooms. Almira also returned to the accounting room. All his friends in the accounting room apologized to Almira. They felt guilty for believing the cheesy gossip that was not yet clear.
Almira smiles. The problem today is over. Evander her ex-husband had already defended her without thinking about her pride in front of all of his employees.
"Thank you Evander," inward Almira.
Little by little Evander corrects his past mistakes on Almira, he does not want to jaim again like before, Almira must be struggled or he will lose it for life.
