“Good morning by noon everyone,” Lydia greets the people in the marketing room.
After telling assistant Thalita (who is now turning into his assistant), about some things about the work that must be done, Lydia went to the marketing division to start running duties from Reino.
As expected, more eyes were looking at Lydia with a dislike look. Most came from the women and especially from team two.
“According to the order from Mr. Reino, I will do a little evaluation in the marketing division of our headquarters. All of you also deal with prolonged complaints.”
Although the gaze fixed on her was somewhat misbehaving, Lydia still tried to calm down. He needed to finish this task immediately if he wanted to live a quiet life.
“What would you like to evaluate from my team? Our performance is fine,” asked Marketing Manager looks angry.
“Sorry. I'm just following orders from Mr. Reino. For more details, Mr. Beni can ask him.”
“Cih. There must be someone else you want to fire here right? Tick-up boss's mistress, you act as good as your heart.”
Lydia closed her eyes tightly. He wanted to talk well, but it seemed impossible. It meant that he would spend time like hell during this work evaluation. And for now Lydia has to start being assertive.
“I actually do not like to mix personal affairs with work, but because Mr. Beni first. Then I will not hesitate anymore.”
“First. Of course there was less than this division until Mr. Reino sent me here. Second one. I am dating Mr. Reino, but again I do not mix personal life with work.”
“I know what Mr. Beni means is Thalita, but obviously he was expelled for making a fatal mistake and that there is proof of that.”
Lydia looked around the room and found some people starting to look down. There are also those who look wrong because of Lydia's assertiveness. That's quite satisfying.
“So if you never feel wrong, then prove it. Don't just gossip.”
Lydia's last sentence, in fact, is able to make everyone busy again at work. That was enough to make Lydia exhale a sigh of relief. Though from earlier he was trembling and his heart just ran away in fear. At least Lydia can work well now.
And to shorten work time, Lydia started by having everyone prepare their sales reports for the past year. It made everyone complain. But since Lydia gave time tolerance, no one dared to protest.
“You look busy.” Lydia looked up and found Revan standing in front of her with a tray.
It's lunchtime and Lydia alley never misses lunchtime, already sitting in the cafeteria with a tablet lit in hand and a book open on the table. Because of the many unresolved complaints, Lydia was forced to bring work to the employee cafeteria.
“What's here empty?”
“For what to ask if you've sat.” Lydia shook her head slowly as her reaction.
“Yeah, the name is also pleasantries,” chuckles Revan slowly.
“Tumben itself. Kiara where?”
“Again food,”reply reply Revan origin only. He also did not know where his teammates were.
“But I saw she was already sitting at another table,” reply Lydia showed what she saw with her chin.
“If you already know why ask?”
“Family,” replied Lydia who made Revan laugh.
Lydia was actually able to guess why Kiara was reluctant to sit with her again. It was obviously due to the rumors circulating at this time. And seeing Kiara's behavior, Lydia believes that the woman believes more negative gossip. Most people are like that too.
“What the hell did you see from earlier?” revan asked curiously with Lydia eating while looking at the tablet.
“Why do you take care of that? Do you have customer service?”
“Government from boss. What are the CS's doing anyway? There are complaints that have even been almost ten months.”
Intrigued by what Lydia said, Revan looked at the tablet Lydia was looking at. He was quite shocked because there was indeed data dated almost ten months ago.
Lydia did not hesitate to tell some of her findings and also about the performance evaluation of the marketing team. And apparently that made Revan quite surprised.
“Gosh. Will Mr Reino also evaluate the financial division?”
“So far no talks have led to it. But you can get ready, who knows suddenly the audit team was taken down.”
Speaking of the audit team, can they not find any unresolved claims? Later Lydia had to discuss this with Reino.
“Oh, yes Lyd. Can I ask you something a little personal?” revan asked after looking hesitant.
“What?”
“What exactly is your relationship with Mr Reino?”
Revan's question made all Lydia's activities stop instantly. It felt like the question felt like a snowball throw that left him in pain and cold.
“What do you hear?” Lydia asked because she had no reasonable answer.
“Says you two are dating. Some even say you guys kiss and do other things in the room Mr. Reino,” replied Revan honestly. At least that's what he heard from people.
“Part of the news is true anyway, but part of it is clearly wrong,” replied Lydia decided to follow the game Reino.
Lydia could not be honest at this point because there was no reasonable explanation for the kiss. Apparently Reino's most sounding idea makes sense.
Wanting to lie is also impossible because there are people who see their kissing videos. Inevitably Lydia was also forced to have to use Reino's idea. At least partly the truth.
“Which part is correct?” ask Revan to be worried.
“We did date and kiss, but that's it. Doing other things in the quotes was clearly not true.”
“But he said Thalita ..“
“I'm different to Thalita, Revan. Even if I did that, I would have chosen a more private place.”
They were silent for a moment. Lydia again scoured the fried noodles and tablets, while Revan looked at Lydia with a somewhat surprised look.
“What does that mean you've done it with Mr Reino?”
Lydia did not answer. He glanced at Revan for a moment, figuring out what made the man shock and look disappointed? Whatever it was Lydia felt Revan's reaction was very strange.
“If we did, do you think I would say it?” ask Lydia who didn't get an answer from Revan.
“Trust what you want to believe, Van.” Lydia told me back.
