"Still have a face yes he came to the boutique."
"Yes, I guess once the news about his father is spread everywhere, he won't show up again."
"Oath! That I might have killed myself had a father like that."
"He should have fled abroad, in this town his family was already notoriously bad."
"Child of a businessman but a marijuana businessman. Haha.... "
"Dirty political playwright anyway. Severe indeed.... "
"Who would have thought, right.... "
Andin had just returned after meeting him at the cafe. He returned to the boutique and found his men talking about something. From the words he heard, it was clear that they were badmouthing Valerie behind him.
Andin and Valerie have recently been together. When Andin returned to J City, he met Valerie, his younger sister, while studying abroad. They graduated from the same college. In fact, Valerie has also interned at her boutique abroad.
"Try your chat it was directly spoken in front of the person!" exclaim Andin.
The four female employees were shocked, suddenly there was already Andin near them. Laughter and gossip that they had been enjoying had disappeared, all that was left was the fear of being fired by their boss.
"Pardon us, Ms. Andin" said one of them in a condolence and expression of fear.
"Continue your conversation! Continue on!" Andin became emotional with the behavior of his own employees. The four of them no one dared to refute Andin.
"What good are you guys talking about that? You want to kill people, yes, with your words?"
The four women looked at each other. They were accused of wanting to kill Valerie.
"Mom.... We were wrong to talk during work hours. But, we didn't get that far as to want to kill Miss Valerie. Miss Andin's words were too creepy."
"Yes, Mom. We just had a little chat and what we talked about was reality."
"What is your goal to discuss such a thing for? You want to see Valerie become depressed?"
"Those words that you consider trivial can unconsciously be very painful to others."
"Yes if he holds up with the gossip of people maybe it will not be okay. But not everyone is that strong. There are people who fall down just because of bad speech."
"I don't think there are people like you. Not feeling guilty after saying bad things to others."
"It's nice when someone's family has a problem so bad, depressed, maybe if until the person kills himself you will laugh more satisfied, yes!?" andin's voice was rising.
"Later to blame the person for not being mentally strong. The real killers are people like you. It's just that you play clean, kill without touching, kill only with your bad words."
The four of them were like they were being lectured. Actually there is no intention so far, but they again think that what is done is wrong. They shouldn't behave like that.
"If you can't help, wouldn't you rather shut up? That's been a big help."
"People like Valerie need support, it's hard to live a life like her. Can he choose to be born to what kind of parents? The guilty man is his father, has also been processed legally. Why are you following Valerie's trial? What's wrong with you?"
"Otherwise we're office mates, if we don't give support, then who else?"
"Yes, Mom. Forgive us. We admit wrong and will never repeat it again."
"Sir Andin, what's going on? Daritadi seems like Big Brother is getting angry?"
Valerie looked in wonder at Andin. He had just walked out of his room and heard Andin speaking in a half-screaming tone.
Hearing Valerie's presence, Andin's originally fierce face immediately turned cheerful.
"Ah, no. The bias, just reminds them to be more serious about working" Andin said with a wide smile on his lips.
Valerie looked at the employees, their faces pale as if frightened.
"Their work is fine, brother. Everything was done well." Valerie replied.
Valerie had no idea what they had just talked about her family. If he knew, he might still be nice to them.
"But not in an angry tone too, Brother. Poor them scared."
"Ah, yes. Next time I will try to speak in a more relaxed tone. But I'm not angry. That was called assertiveness."
"Hem, okay, it's up to Brother Andin. I want to discuss some of the designs I've made over the past few days. Does Brother Andin want to see it?"
"Can, can.... "
"To my room for a moment, yes."
"okay."
"You can't repeat that, yeah."
Andin warned his employees before leaving. They nodded.
"Sister, thank you, yes, " Valerie said as they reached her room.
Valerie said that while smiling with teary eyes.
"Well, thank you for what? What have I done? Just seen your design yet." Andin had no idea what Valerie meant.
Valerie laughed as she cried at Andin's words. He did not expect that his senior when he was in college was indeed that good.
"Well, it's so weeping." murmured Andin.
"Haha.... " Valerie wiped her falling tears. "Sister.... I actually knew what they were talking about this morning." Valerie let out a long sigh to stop her crying.
Andin gawked, it turned out Valerie already knew.
"They've been using me since I just came to the office. They kept talking about my dad all day. Said I was shameless still daring to come to the office. To be honest, it makes me sad."
"But, hearing Brother Andin defending me like that, I felt happy. At least there's still one person who doesn't mind my whereabouts just because of my father's deeds."
"Thank you, yes, sister." Her tears returned when she thanked him.
Andin immediately hugged Valerie, rubbing her back for reinforcement.
"Patience, yes. You did nothing wrong. We'll keep working together."
Valerie returned Andin's embrace tightly. Only this time did he find a place that could understand his current feelings.
No one knew it was too hard for him to go back to the office after news of his father spread everywhere. People will look at him wherever he goes. It was as if he was part of the mistake his father made.
Andin was the one who encouraged her to return to the office immediately. He assured her that everything would be fine.
It was nice to know that someone really loved her, but she was just someone else who had no blood relation.
"So, where's the clothing design you want to show me?" andin asked after Andin's cry subsided.
"Ah, yes, Brother. It's on the table. I made it when I didn't come to the office."
Andin showed Andin the clothing design book he had drawn. They saw one by one the designs made, Andin gave a description of the design drawings he had made. Sometimes Andin talks about asking things that he still has doubts, also giving a little input about the design that You make.
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in." cried Andin.
One of the employees looked over from behind the door.
"Mom Andin, someone's looking" he said.
"Who?"
"Sir Arga."
Andin was astonished, for what Arga came to his place again. He said he didn't like Arga coming to his office. He'd rather see Arga outside the office. This was the second time Arga forced her to come to her place. It seemed like he had to reiterate that he didn't like it. Their relationship is not at all special and that close.
