Consorts of the Heart Mr. Billionaires

Chapter.13 (Alfaro's Challenge)

Arumi stepped with a map that was held tightly, following the footsteps of the planning team leader. He breathed a few times because he was too nervous. Currently he and the team leader will attend a meeting where Arumi will represent the planning department to present their project proposal.

Just a few weeks of work, and he has been given this much trust. It is not without reason, because according to the team leader, Arumi is a talented and intelligent woman and she is worthy enough to represent all members.

"Let's go in," the chairman asked when he saw Arumi stopping at the meeting room's doorstep.

"I-yes sir."

Arumi continued her steps. His nervousness grew when he saw all the participants of the meeting were already there, except for their president who was still waiting for his presence. He took a seat next to the team leader.

While waiting, Arumi again read the material that he will convey in the presentation this time. He has been used to present research proposals when he was in college and this has become his daily food. But he still felt afraid if only he made a mistake in front of Alfaro later.

The meeting room door was opened by someone who turned out to be Aril's secretary. Everyone stood up to greet the group's WB President, Alfaro Wilson.Arumi's view followed Alfaro until Alfaro sat in his chair.

"Good afternoon everyone, we just start the meeting this time.one of the planning department team will present the project proposal that is still in the development stage, please," the secretary of Aril then invited Arumi to come forward.

Alfaro looks so cute. He does not know if it turns out that Arumi is in the same room with him and Arumi will also do a presentation this time. He turned to his secretary, as if asking for an explanation, why Aril did not tell him about this. And the response Aril gave, was just a smile.

Before starting, Arumi exhaled slowly, looking at the dozens of pairs of eyes that were now pointing at her.

I beg you not to fail, Mother... Father.help me, inner Arumi.

"Happy afternoon everyone, introduce me Arumi Irawan, this time I will convey some important points about the problems and obstacles in the field, for the project of building an apartment building in the X region."

Alfaro looked very serious, paying attention to what Arumi was saying. With straightforward and firm, Arumi conveys what is displayed on the infocus screen that is now on. No doubt, if Arumi is a smart woman, everyone there seems to nod their heads because they understand and understand what Arumi is saying.

At first glance the thin smile was present on the face of the President. He did not expect that his little wife, had this much talent. It's just that good destiny is not on Arumi's side, at the age of twenty, he must get married and become a shadow wife.

"Secondly and thank you, hopefully what I said earlier, can be understood, so that the group's WB project this time succeeded without any obstacles," said Arumi who was finished with his presentation. Everyone in the room clapped for Arumi but not Alfaro.

Just now Arumi was about to step back into his seat. Alfaro suddenly made a sound, making Arumi's steps stop.

"I haven't told you to sit down, come here." Alfaro actually really liked the presentation that Arumi gave but he still wanted to work on it.

Arumi's heart beat very fast, he swallowed several times with difficulty, because Alfaro's words suddenly called for him to come closer. With a hesitant step, he stepped up then stopped beside Alfaro's chair.

Alfaro got up from his seat and stood right in front of Arumi. Arumi tried to shift her gaze, as the brown netra stared intently at her.

"Aren't you a new employee?" ask Alfaro.

Aril approached the boss when he understood that what his boss did this time, was out of the professional zone at work.

"Master she-" Just now that Aril wanted to talk, Alfaro had already pointed his palm at Aril, as if giving the code so that Aril did not interfere this time.

Arumi tightly gripped the edge of her blazer, then ventured into Alfaro's eyes, "Yes, right sir."

"Whose name we were, A... Arumi?"

What the heck, why ask like that, we should indeed behave like strangers when outside the Mansion, but there is no need to forget the memory of the name, but, what I said from the beginning of the meeting, my feelings started to feel bad about this, inner Arumi.

"Yes right" replied Arumi.

"What you said earlier was very extraordinary, for a new employee who has never been out in person, I think you should go to review the field after this meeting is over, to improve the planning of this project,"

The whole room became tense. How can Alfaro order a female employee to review the project site which is usually reviewed by male staff who are experienced in field problems.

Arumi was silent for a moment because her feelings were completely evident now. Alfaro was working on it again, "Alright, I'll go Sir." the remark was thrown out, as if waving a war flag between the two.

What are you thinking, why don't you beg me to retract my command, you stubborn, inner Alfaro.

Aril massaged his forehead. Suddenly he felt dizzy because of the actions of his boss who was even responded by Arumi.

The meeting was over, followed by Aril, Alfaro entered and immediately sat on his seat of greatness. Aril deliberately followed Alfaro to his study, because he wanted to ask Alfaro's intention to decide what he thought was so rash.

"Sir, Miss Arumi is not a field worker, she doesn't need to go there" Aril said.

"You're defending him now?" Alfaro looked at Aril sharply.

"Bu-not so, but-"

"Let it be, he agreed, and I didn't tell him to be a construction worker there anyway, I just wanted him to review the location, that's all. You better go back to your desk, 'cause I'm busy."

Aril fell silent again, he was useless to talk, because Alfaro would never listen to him. He stepped his foot out of Alfaro's room without saying anything.

...***...

After the meeting is over, Arumi accompanied by Bima who is usually assigned the planning department to review the field, will leave immediately. Bima tried to prohibit Arumi from coming because the weather today was very hot.

"I'll tell you to go home, let's just say you've gone there, I promise I won't say this to anyone" Bima said when they were in the office parking lot.

"No Bim, I'm going to stick around, the sniffing will only make her bigger head, let's hurry, it's two o'clock in the afternoon." Arumi again steps towards a company-owned car that they will use to the project site.

Bima breathed out quite heavily. He really could not bear to let a woman as quiet as Arumi, go to the project site filled with dust. He still does not understand what makes the prince always looking for problems with Arumi, starting from mobile phone problems and this time project problems.
