HANDSOME CEO LOOKING FOR BLESSINGS

Chapter 14 CONTRACT OF COOPERATION

At the Green Lestari office all the staff gathered and two new staff had been recruited. Today the CEO of PT. Eka Prakarsa will come for the signing of a cooperation contract. This is a special request from Mr. Rye Adrian Raharja, the CEO. He wanted to get to know his co-workers up close and feel the work atmosphere at the NGO.

Riska has been back from Vietnam since last week. He brought two boxes of Vietnamese cakes and key chains for everyone. Only Adnan can be by special means: t-shirts, mugs, key chains, hats, and handmade burlap bags.

In the office including Riska no one knows that Adnan and Anna are dating. It was intentionally kept secret. Dino doesn't know.

Mr. Rye came in a blue shirt, black jeans, and blue sneakers. Although his watch was worth Agus's new bike, Rye's appearance was arguably quite simple for a conglomerate.

“Daebaaak ! gile his face kayak oppa in the movie Dinner Friends cuy !” Omest whispers to Neni. It wasn't just Omest and Neni who were blown away. Girls in the office including the tomboyish Maam Jamil also melted.

Rye was accompanied by Mr. Ridzy - Public Relations Manager, Salman Public Relations staff, Ms. Stefani Legal Section, Daniel Executive Assistant, and Lidya Secretary CEO.

The staff were already lined up in front of the entrance of the first floor loby. Mr. Ben introduces while Rye greets one.

"This is Wira, Comdev Coordinator. And these are his men: Bambang, Prajudi, Elsi, Dessy, Agus, Minoy. This additional new staff is specifically assigned to our program, Nova and Frans. Let’s move on to Information & Communication (I & C): Indri and Arinata. Environment Team: Ms. Dian, you've met her. Here's the staff: Riska SPO, Winda, and Dodi - PO…

“SPO what is ?” Rye interrupted.

“Senior Program Officer” Riska and Pak Ben together. Everybody laugh.

“Ok further. This is Jamilah, HR and Finance Manager. Here's the staff: Tiara accounting, Hendra Cashier and procurement, Neni General Administrator. And here it is.Adnan Program Manager. Mr. Rye has met often of course (if Mr. Ben knew the incident that night). Well this is supporting staff directly under Adnan: Dino for Training & Capacity Building, and Anna for Research and Public Policy. Mr. Rye may still remember a month ago meeting with Anna.” (how could you forget. Twice meet and twice must also carry him) inner Rye amused herself.

“Hallo how are you ?” sapa Rye glanced at a glance but imprinted in Anna's heart. A gaze full of a million meanings which he himself did not understand meant.

Adnan felt the heat in his chest.

Mr. Ben took Mr. Rye on a tour around the office while the staff waited in the meeting room. After the welcome of both parties, then the signature of the contract for the next three years, with terms and conditions apply of course.

Mr. Ben and the senior staff: Adnan, Jamilah, Bu Dian, Wira, and Riska, stayed in the meeting room to discuss with Mr. Rye and his team. The I&C team also stayed for photo and minutes documentation. The other staff returned to the workspace on the second floor.

Omest and the rowdy gank chicks instantly hooked up to Anna.

"This is a photo of Rye similar to the actor of the Korean hot film, Song Seung-Heon" Neni said

“Annaaaa. Boss Boss phone and send a message you don't answer. Yes lilaaaah same meeting oppa guanteeng poolll..” Dessy pinched both of Anna's cheeks and shook her shake.

Anna tried to escape.

“What the hell are you guys so much. Just a regular time.” Anna said as she rubbed her cheek.

“Allah fellow singles do not need ja-im cuy." said Tiara.

Next his friend asked soberly that Anna was confused to answer him.

“Yes it's about taste. Although the cave is also a lover of drakor, drapan, and dracin but according to the mah cave, he let it be saucy, his face is less macho. I am a badminton player. I love Henry Cavill or Cristian in Fifty Shades of Grey?” Anna defended herself despite not knowing where she was wrong.

“Hadeuuuh the real Anna should get Tausiah about choosing the dream man. Brother Elsi please ?” Willa humorously invited Elsi to give her advice. Elsi nodded and took a step forward. His friend laughed.

The girls looked at each other and then there was a clap of eel, there was a gawking speechless he..he.he.he..Neni grabbed elsi's shoulder with one hand and the other hand held Elsi's hand. In a serious style he guided Elsi.

"So, don't go home from jaka to eat cireng ! "…

Another friend laughed

“Oiiiy maxi !” Yuddis who clustered on the stairs with other male staff (except Omest) called Anna et al to go down to eat.

Girls still talk about Rye.

“Eh Mr Rye has a special room in his work space like in the novel is not yes?” said the Minoy. Others commented to each other. Some doubted because Rye looked simple. Some are sure to have etc.

Anna who walked the very back was just a smile. Had they known that she had seen Rye's room and was even locked in her closet he…

___________________***________________________

Adnan is upset to have to part with Anna again. Tomorrow Anna goes back to the field for two weeks. They've been dating for a month but Adnan hasn't managed to kiss Anna. The first two weeks, Anna's on the field. The first week of dating is a lot of distractions. This week has only been able to date twice and Anna does not want to be kissed because of the saryawan.

" Let's go, baby.those thrush is a sign of lack of vitamin C. Do you know what C stands for ? that's Kiss !" rayu Adnan is desperate

" Idih slovenly sister I mah cankerawan to bite when eating cilok turned out to be still hot inside. "

Adnan surrendered and just hugged Anna.

Have you ever heard of a rainbow before a storm ?

Today the team set out again to five study locations. The weather was quite sunny in the city but after two hours of travel, it rained quite heavily. It is now in the rainy season.

By the time it arrived in District X, the rain had still not stopped. Some are sleepy and some still want to eat again. Only Nukila who looks cheerful and impatient wants tomorrow to come soon. His meeting with Rye was the first concrete step towards realizing his plan.

Deni hated District X since the incident that night. Moreover, hearing the name Rye, it feels like he wants to throw objects that are around.
