It doesn't feel like it's morning. Short sleep time does not satisfy Lalis rest time. Since today he was allowed a leave of absence by Great, he could rest even longer. But his heart could not calm down as the current situation had not satisfied Lalis.
How many times has Lalis written messages for Kent through HP, but there is no reply from Kent. That's what makes Lalis not calm and worried. If Kent lets Lalis go to his house maybe Lalis can see a little bit of his situation.
Clamps, the door to the room is open. "Lalis, I buy food mostly so I want to share it with you" Great said as he approached Lalis who was still lying in bed.
Lalis was a little surprised because Great entered without permission. And why Great hasn't been ready to go to the office. His clothes still use a nightgown and his hair is ruffled.
His eyes were puffy and his body was very weak, that was what Great saw in Lalis.
"Ah, Sir." Lalis got up and sat on her bed.
"This morning why did you come here?" ask Lalis.
"I didn't come home last night."
Lalis likes the ever-quiet nature of Great. Despite being upset, Great did not rush to vent his anger. It's just that the look on Great's face will be different if Great is upset or angry. Great is not the type of person who likes pleasantries.
"I slept in the next room."
"Isn't the next room occupied?" ask Lalis.
"Say he moved yesterday, so the room was empty" he replied as he sat down on the sofa, put his food on the table and opened it one by one.
"Correct, huh? it's not like the guy said he bought it, "inner Lalis.
"Why are you still lying down? come and eat with me" he asked.
Of course Lalis has to go to the bathroom first. At least clean his face and make sure his body does not smell in front of his boss so as not to make him uncomfortable.
"I go to the bathroom first, sir," he said as he walked.
Fifteen minutes was already a great wait. Lalis finally came out. Why do girls always stay long when they enter the bathroom?
Lalis sat in front of Great. Lalis was puzzled as to why Great kept staring at her from the moment she came out of the bathroom. The look on her face was so unpleasant that it made Lalis a little scared. And-why hasn't Great eaten his food? is he waiting for Lalis?
"Is all the girls always long when they're in the bathroom?" tanyanya while devouring her food slowly without looking at Lalis' face.
"He's waiting for me, huh?" inner Lalis.
"That's because girls have to be good at taking care of their skin" Lalis briefly replied.
"That's a text I ordered from the cafe we visited a few days ago. You seemed to really like that time so I bought it from there" Great said.
"Thank you very much."
Silent a few minutes ago Lalis melted the atmosphere.
"You're not in the office anymore?" ask Lalis.
"Hm." Great answered it briefly because it was eating. While Lalis seemed to have no appetite because it was too slow.
"Why?"
"Because you're still sick," Great answered that made Lalis' heart beat.
So all because Lalis up to Great could not do his job normally in the office. No need to work in the office for a few days is not a problem for him.
"Sir, why is it so excessive towards me? I'm just a regular employee and I'm new to the office."
Without stopping his eating Great said, "how long have you been working in my office?"
"Two weeks."
Silence back. Lalis did not speak anymore, she continued to focus on breakfast until they were both done. Lalis cleared everything clean and there was Great who kept waiting on the sofa.
Lalis wondered why these few days Great continued to be with her. They are not that familiar until they have to stay together and take care of each other.
Every minute Lalis glances at Great who is busy with his laptop where his work is listed on his laptop. Lalis returns after finishing the dishes. He walked to the bed to clean it up.
"You've had to change the bandage, Lalis.," Great said.
Lalis stopped for a moment. "I have to take a shower first, then change."
Great approaching Lalis. He stopped Lalis' hand that was in order. "Don't move much first. The doctor advised you to take plenty of rest" Great said.
This situation makes Lalis awkward. Actually how Great thought when he paid attention to Lalis. Lalis alone who heard it was very awkward and if she had to stare at Great, Lalis could not.
"It was too much, I just cleaned the room," said Lalis as she released a soft grip of Great's hand.
Lalis.
"Sir, do you want coffee?"
"Can."
Since Great could not let Lalis move much, it was he who had to move if Lalis wanted her room to be neat. Without a second thought, Great began it. It started from Lalis' bed.
It didn't take long to get Lalis' room tidy again. Lalis was surprised, just now he was staying in the kitchen to make coffee, his room was in Great's hands.
"Why are you doing this?" ask Lalis.
"Because you're stubborn" he replied.
Lalis shook her head. "The coffee I put on the table, I have to take a shower first."
Short story. Lalis sat in front of the mirror and Great stood behind Lalis while helping Lalis put a bandage on her back.
Great swallowed his own saliva. Lalis' smooth back seemed to tease him but he was not entitled to it. While Lalis was nervous and could not breathe smoothly when Great helped her.
After Great finished raising Lalis's shirt and then carrying a hairdaier on the dresser.
"You don't have to do it, let me do it" said Lalis already because Great did it.
Great's attention to him made Lalis have many questions for Great.
"Master. Why are you paying attention to me? do you want anything from me?" ask Lalis suddenly.
Great stopped for a moment. "Yes." Yeah."
"What do you want from me?"
"You."
Deg. Lalis surprised. He looked back with a face full of questions. Great kept the device and bent his face closer to Lalis's face.
"I liked you for a long time" he said.
"Sorry-a-but I don't like you."
Lalis stood up and walked into the kitchen as soon as she refused. Lalis should have asked why Great spoke that way. But in order to shorten the time and avoid things even further, Lalis immediately rejected it. In order to avoid Great, Lalis immediately pretended to want to cook.
But Great approached him again.
"Didn't you see everything I did for you?" great asked right after standing beside Lalis.
"What did you do to me?" Lalis did not look to the side at all.
"That's not important. Lalis can you accept my love and marry me."
To the point once Great.
Lalis was surprised to have to stop while cutting tomatoes.
"Sir, I don't seem comfortable with what you're talking about. Can you leave me alone."
"You refused because of Kent, huh?"
Lalis reflexively turned her head towards Great. How Great knows his lover.
"You're too dangerous to be next to him, Lalis."
"Enough, Sir." Great realized Lalis was upset and disliked her words just now. "Sorry if I'm not polite tspi please go. We just got to know, we're not that close to talking casually with each other."
Great realized that now was not the time to express his feelings. But he was a little relieved to have said what he felt.
"I'll assume you didn't speak anything today."
*The next day*
Lalis returned to work after a 3-day leave. Co-workers in the marketing team were worried and asked Lalis how she was right now.
"I'm sorry I couldn't see ya. Because we don't know your home address" said Ms. Saka, the head of the understanding team.
"No problem. I have to apologize because beru work has been absent for so long" said Lalis.
They're headed for the marketing team room. Lalis lowered her head pretending not to know as Great walked right in front of her. Lalis didn't want anyone to know about her problem with Great.
Bu Saka bowed his body as Great passed by. Same with Lalis.
"Bu Saka," said Great.
Lalis kept her head down as Great stopped beside her.
"Please report the weekly results given to me at exactly 11 before the noon break."
"Good, Sir. Lalis will give you that report later."
Lalis shocked. Where can?
Great glanced at Lalis. "Yes whatever." The last sentence Great answered.
They both walked back. "At 11 I have a business for a while, so please Lalis."
Honestly, Lalis doesn't want to. But because Ms. Saka asked, it's not good to refuse.
"L-yes it doesn't matter, Mom."
Along the way to the team room, Lalis heard some people talking about Great. One of the words that made him afraid and depressed was 'he said Mr. Great did not enter the office 3 days. He does his job at home. Tumben is Mr. Great so, usually he never absent in the office'.
It reminded him of being with Great for 3 days. He was afraid that everyone would realize that he and Great did not simultaneously enter the office.
"While they are right. As long as you're sick, Mr. Great doesn't go into the office. Skertarisnya say that Mr. Great is bad mood," said Bu Saka.
Short story. Lalis slowly entered. He was really awkward after yesterday.
"This, Sir. The results of the marketing team report," he said while putting the file on Great's desk.
"The director needs an assistant to help with his duties. Lately my work continues to grow because this company is progressing rapidly. If you're willing, I'll promote you."
Lalis surprised. What he can do in that assistant director position. He has not experienced much about the company. Two years ago he just graduated college, first job at the Kent company, it only lasted one year. Indeed, the company does not deny that Lalis' performance in working is maximal. He understands quickly and responds quickly.
"Why should I. I still don't understand this company plus I just worked at this company."
"Based on your CV and performance working in a previous company you are very genius and have the potential for it. Plus you're a genius at university, you should deserve a job like that. Your university is not a lowly university, Lalis. It's a prestigious university, which brings out the best people. You know in this company 72% comes from that university."
Lalis's confused. This position was all he wanted even though it was only an assistant. Other companies even contested Lalis before she got into JT Nether because her grades were quite high and were in the top 10 of all students despite not being in the 1st and 3rd levels.
"I realized that. But-wait-" Inner Lalis, "why am I finding it hard to find a job after coming out of JT Nether?" continued.
"Then will there be many people who question why the new child is suddenly promoted to be an assistant director?"
"I've read the situation. Before you get promoted, you'll be guided by someone so you understand the company and the job."
"How long is the guidance?" ask Lalis.
"Until you understand everything."
Chance Lalis. But if it had to be together with Great every day, it made it awkward unless Great did not discuss his expression of feelings for Lalis.
"I'll give you some time to think about this opportunity. Because there's no chance here for a second time."
"If there's a lot of people coming in from that university, why did you just pick me?"
Lalis begins to suspect Great deliberately in order to get close to Lalis.
"Who said. If you agree, you'll be competing with the two TL employees."
"good. I'll think carefully of your offer."
Lalis bowed and turned to get out of the Great's room.
"Wait." Lalis stopped and looked back.
"I now live in the same apartment as you, my room next to yours," he said.
What exactly is Great's plan?
"Good, sir."
"And yes. Don't call me father when it's just the two of us" Great continued.
"Well, Pa- , fine, sir."
Like Lalis, Great grumbled. "I can't wait anymore. I want it," he murmured.
Lalis's footsteps why in such a hurry. Maybe because Great keeps trying to get it. Or does he have other business?
"It's a good opportunity but-if it's his assistant, I have to continue being with him." Lalis opened the door to her team room.
"Lalis, why so long?" ask Kenya who was previously focused on his work.
"There was a bit of a problem in Mr. Great's room earlier."
"You weren't yelled at by him, were you?" ask Kenya again.
"No, no. Just asked me to check back."
