Genius Wife and Superstar Husband

Episode 28: The messenger

“Why is that red apple here? Does he know me? Or did he follow me from Bali? Oh yes, my necklace!” think Carolina again when Ethan has gone with someone. Since returning home from Bali, Carolina has not had time to look for the identity of the man she slept with.

But after seeing the man again, he suddenly recalled that he indeed needed to meet the man, to ask for his necklace.

“Carolina Akai?” dissolving in his mind, suddenly someone called out his name. Carolina once again turned her head and saw a man who seemed to be in his 40s and wearing office clothes.

“Pak Adam?” ask Carolina. Because the only person he was waiting for was Adam, the HRD staff, an acquaintance of Sir David, Carolina's academic supervising lecturer.

“Ah, yes, sorry long wait. Come with me,” said Adam then lead the way to the lift back.

“Because you are an IT major, I put you in the IT division only, yes. Later the head of the division there who decided to give you where,” said Adam while explaining.

“Good,” Reply Carolina. After the lift came back down, Adam and Carolina entered. Adam then pressed the 4th floor button.

After reaching the 4th floor, Adam went straight to one of the rooms and knocked on the door.

“Log in,” someone replied from the inside. Adam opened the door and invited Carolina to come in.

“Hey, this is an intern from Smart University majoring in IT. Here is the data,” said Adam then immediately gave the paper that he had brought.

“Emang we now receive interns, yes?” ask the man who asks blatantly no matter if Carolina is there.

“Atasan has agreed, really. Maybe all of you can promote the company name,” said Adam.

“Then I go first, yes,” said Adam finally.

“Ah yes sir, thanks,” Carolina replied with a smile.

After a while, the atmosphere became quiet again. The man was busy reading the paper that Adam had been carrying, while Carolina just stayed in place, although Carolina would usually play her phone, but she knew enough not to do so.

“It looks like you can to coding, yes?” asked the man after seeing the paper containing Carolina's CV.

“Ah yes sir, passable,” said Carolina trying to go low.

“Oke, I'll take care of you in the project management section, yes. Actually we again need in the network section as well, but it seems you are not too expert in that section,” said the man then squeezed the intercom in his room.

“Tell Andi to come to my room,” said the man after someone answered him.

While Carolina just smiled, she did not want to boast from the beginning that she had expertise in the field of networking for fear that her identity as a famous hacker would be discovered.

After talking to someone through the intercom, the man who had the position was again busy with his duties, while Carolina just kept quiet. He also did not want to get into a trite relationship with the man.

Soon, there was another knock at the door, and a man in his late 20s came inside. The man was white and wore glasses.

“What's up, manager sir?” ask the man.

He glanced at a woman wearing a campus alma mater who was also in the room, but he chose to ignore her.

“Ah turns out you, Carolina introduce this Andi, one of the project managers in the application development team,” said the man introduced Andi.

“Andi, this is Carolina, an intern from Smart University, during your internship here, you are the supervisor, yes!” the man introduced Carolina.

“Pak! You know at this time my team is in trouble because my programmer can not be contacted! I would ask to loan a programmer from another team! Or if you can't just hire a freelance programmer, why even give me an intern?” Andi immediately disagreed when he heard that. The situation on his team was now again chaotic, and he had to be the supervisor for the apprentice child? Just be right!

“Ah, the head of the application development team has indeed told me about it, but our budget again is not enough to hire a freelancer, already, my decision has been round, you can come back, you can,” said the man then busied himself again.

Andi could only sigh then directly come out without saying anything. Carolina who saw it decided to follow Andi after saying goodbye to the manager.

Andi who did not want to supervise the apprentice, immediately looked for the head of his team.

“Pak!” andi said as soon as she reached her room.

“What's up?” the busy head of the team did not even stare at Andi when the man entered. He could already guess what the man wanted to say.

Andi then said the exact same words as what he said to the manager of the IT division.

“Andi, we are currently still trying to find out the whereabouts of your programmers. Your advice to find freelance programmers also can not because our money is not enough, to lend programmers from other teams as well as such is difficult, because you know for yourself how our work here. Calm down first and try to observe the apprentice, isn't there something to him that he's accepted for apprenticeship here? Moreover, the manager thanks him in your team,” said the team head tried to explain calmly.

“Or if you are not sure, the project can be sent to another team, how?”

Andi looked at the head of the team with a look of disbelief, they had been working on the project for 2 more months, and now had to be thrown to the other team? Just be right!

“No sir, I will do it, excuse me,” Andi said then straight out of the room.

Carolina, who had been silent in front of the team head room, was back after Andi when the man had walked out of the room.

Andi who realized that since then Carolina followed him chose to be quiet. From the first time Andi saw her, she realized that Carolina had a beautiful face. The impression he got from that was, this woman must be a fool!

Andi often sees beautiful women, but they usually don't connect when chatting with her, or they're really stupid. Just relying on their looks.

He was also confident that the woman could apprentice here thanks to her beautiful face!

So Andi won't take it seriously.

“This is our room, you can sit there,” said Andi then showed an empty seat.

In the room there are 6 work tables including Andi's, but there are 1 empty seat on the table. Carolina decided to sit there.

“Where? Got any? She the one?” ask someone to Andi as soon as they see Carolina sitting in one of those chairs.

Andi shook his head and held his forehead, “Gak tikasi same boss, oh, he's an intern from...,” said Andi for not paying attention when Carolina was introduced, he only caught “apprentices, he just,” when that manager introduced Carolina.

“You, come here and introduce yourself,” said Andi then called Carolina to stand next to her.

The five people who had been busy with their affairs then looked at Carolina again.

“Halo my mother, my name is Carolina Akai, majoring in Informatics Engineering from Smart University, greetings,” greet Carolina then smile.

“Kok called you anyway, brother dong!” chirp one of the men in their 30s.

“Desi so have a rival,” said one more while glancing at Desi, who is the only woman there.

“Which competition, haha, studied dance and then Des,” said one of them again. Desi was silent when he heard the words of the fathers. She is indeed a 30-year-old woman, single, and mediocre looking.

“Already, come on everyone, get back to work!” andi said when he saw his colleagues began to relax again.

They then start doing their jobs again, while Carolina returns to her seat, and just keeps quiet. He doesn't know what to do.

Would he spend his internship sitting quietly like this?

Isn't the internship place supposed to teach an apprentice something? Well, that doesn't mean Carolina wants to be taught anything, either. Because he believes his abilities are higher than the people who are here.

“Dek,” suddenly someone called him, it was the father who had told him to call himself brother.

“Ya pack?” ask Carolina.

Will he finally be given his first assignment?

“You know in front there's BetaMart, right? Buy father cigarettes, dong!” said the father then took out the money.

Carolina simply looked at him with a look of disbelief before finally taking the money.

“Oh, I also tipped, buy coffee in the bottle,” said one of them again.

Carolina only sighed softly before finally taking the money again.

Will his apprentice life be spent being a lackey?!
