“So Mr Reino said what in front of everyone?” hardik Lydia as soon as she reached her boss's room.
Lydia no longer needs to worry about the surveillance cameras because Hadi and his men have cleaned up all those things. He can do anything freely now.
“That's all I can think of. Or do you want to divulge the contract?” reino was angry.
Reino is currently very upset because of this absurd case. But look at Lydia now making her emotions even more.
“Yes. Not that time either, sir. Later I was even labeled as strange,” exclaimed Lydia frustrated.
Yeah. Human and his suspicions. After this surely many people will suspect Lydia into PT. Linder because of the insider. Or it could be Reino's assistant because of their relationship. It could be that Lydia was even accused of sleeping with Reino, even though it was not wrong anyway.
“So you have a brighter idea to answer Mr Fendi's question earlier?” hardik Reino was really upset.
Lydia was silent at the question. He also could not answer the question from the vice CEO earlier. Reino had basically saved himself.
“Sorry,” murmured Lydia in the end.
“I think you need to be punished,” growled Reino stepped closer to Lydia.
“Eh, wait a minute.” Lydia raised both her hands as if she wanted to block Reino.
“Pak Reino want to do?” lydia asked, sounding very nervous. He walked backwards, every time Reino approached.
“Give you the punishment you deserve,” replied Reino getting closer.
“This is in the office, sir. After the meeting this morning I don't think ..“
“What punishment will I give you?” reino asked after cutting off Lydia's sentence.
Lydia's steps immediately stopped, as did Reino. Lydia blinked her eyes a few times, then thought about what punishment Reino meant. Isn't the punishment in question something perverted? That's like Lydia reads in novels, right? Do men usually like to punish them like that?
“Looks like you were perverted huh?” reino's mocking smile was visible, making her face look sexy.
“No,” hardik Lydia hard, more make Reino sure his opinion was right.
“Whatever you have in mind I will do it. Anyway the deal starts today right?” reply Reino started to approach again.
Lydia's starting to panic. He knew he shouldn't have shied away because according to Reino, his agreement started today. But that's true. After that meeting, Reino still wants to do it in the office? Can't wait for the night to do it at the hotel, all waiting for him to be ready?
“Rei, what the hell are you ... Oh, am I interrupting?”
The sound of the door opening followed by a baritone sounding annoyed at first, making Lydia and Reino turn their heads. Their strange position, made Viktor immediately turn around.
“I'll be back in 20 minutes, finish quickly.”
“Please wait for Mr. Viktor.” Lydia immediately moved to grab the arm of the man's suit that was only 5 steps away from her.
“My business is done, so you can talk to Mr. Reino,” exclaimed Lydia was about to run out of the room, but failed.
Reino pulls Lydia's elbow and keeps her out of Viktor's reach. The man looked very angry, probably because today failed again.
“Just go back to your place and start working,” hiss Reino pushed Lydia to her desk.
Lydia was very upset with Reino's behavior, but she could not protest. He may be punished twice as much. So inevitably, Lydia complies.
“I think you should move your assistant's desk forward,” Viktor's advice to Reino.
“Your secretary sitting outside could be a viral case like this, especially if she's inside. Wear your brain Rei.”
Viktor who knocked on his own head, made Reino emotional. The man didn't like the idea because he couldn't do his best to work on his assistant.
But Reino also could not argue because what the lawyer said, as well as his best friend was right. At times like this will be more vulnerable gossip is not really spread and Reino does not like it.
“Shall I take care of later. Now what do you want?” ask Reino to come to Viktor.
“Of course I want to talk about your absurd case. Can you be prosecuted by the female komnas? That's right.”
“You can be sure your assistant will be called their representative soon.” Viktor pointed towards Lydia who was eavesdropping.
Lydia immediately flinched as Reino glanced at her. With a very clumsy Lydia pretended to be busy.
And it wasn't until five minutes later that Viktor's words came true. Lydia actually got a call from Komnas Perempuan. Or rather visited by them.
“Who?” ask Lydia through the intercom connected to the receptionist.
Lydia looked at Viktor who was still at home sitting in discussion with Reino to ask for an opinion. And of course Viktor nodded immediately. It would be more suspicious if Lydia refused the meeting. Wherefore here he was, was in the parlour to greet his guest.1
“Good morning. Introduce me Lydia and this is our company lawyer,” Lydia greet the two women in front of her.
Viktor did the same, but his presence was not welcomed. The man who works as a lawyer can predict, but still want to accompany Lydia. This should be done to show that the company also cares about its employees.
“It's nice to meet you both, but can we talk alone?” ask the older woman to Lydia.
Lydia who could not make up her mind, glanced at Viktor at a glance. And since the man nodded, Lydia also immediately agreed. Viktor said goodbye with the promise to come back later.
“Good, Sister Lydia. We are straight to the point yes,” older women start.
“We heard the news that circulated recently stating the leader of this company exploits his employees. Especially her secretary and personal assistant, you. Is that true?”
“I don't know where you all heard this from, but it's not true.”
Unlike the two people in front of her, Lydia decided to speak formally. He also used his best smile to reassure the two.
“Mbak, Lydia. We came here to protect you. So by the way it's okay,” this time younger women who speak.
“But there really is nothing like it,” Lydia replied in a more assertive tone.
“Mbak Thalita has given us a copy of the video. And that's obviously a coercive act, ma'am. And there is an element of violence as well,” the older woman is back talking.
“Soal Thalita. He's a criminal, Mom. He sold the company's data to our rivals by approaching several leaders. He virtualized this so as not to be prosecuted,” obviously Lydia had no intention of covering anything up.
“Then about your assumptions about coercion. There is coercion, but it's not what you both imagined.”
“I and my boss are dating and do not accept the presence of Thalita who continues to tease people's girlfriends. He forced a kiss on me to prove he wasn't wrong, that's it.”
In the end Lydia used the excuse Reino had written earlier when she was docked. He already had no other reason to say to the two people who frowned dislike his explanation.
The two women still wanted to argue, but Lydia who was doing a lot of work refused to argue. After all it was just a kiss too, she was not scuffed at all or anything. He had voluntarily sold himself to Reino by agreement, so no human rights were violated. Case closed, at least that's Lydia's hope.
