HANDSOME CEO LOOKING FOR BLESSINGS

Chapter 4 THE DREAM MAN

In the car, Anna again apologized to her team. He was inexhaustible, how could he miss such an important appendix of up to seven sheets.

“Already, darling. It's already happened. Now you focus on giving input to Mr. Adrian for the meeting tomorrow,” said Bu Dian calming Anna. The forty-year-old, stocky, and white woman is the most senior staff at the Green Lestari NGO.

Adnan tries to melt the atmosphere by opening up new topics. “Bu Dian, why don't you want to be a program manager? My mother met all the criteria. I should have been his son Mother.”

“I can't, Adnan. I have to take care of my old mother. If I were PM, I would have to travel to five cities and districts where our programs are implemented. Not to mention meeting our donor agencies and networks at national and overseas,” explained Bu Dian as she glanced at Riska beside her.

“Makanya, Riska tuh subscription replace me to national and overseas events. Yeah, right, Riska?“

Riska nodded with a smile towards Adnan.

The trip to District X takes three hours. Adnan and the new team arrived back at the office at around five in the afternoon. Comdev team still have to continue their work, looks to be overtime. Adnan sat opposite Ben in the meeting room on the first floor.

“I'm sorry, Sir. I failed to carry out my first task, even humiliating the institution in the forum. I'm sure Anna did her job meticulously and very well because I also studied the document, along with the attachments one by one. I also did not find the attachment in question,” he explained.

With a quivering and lowered voice, Adnan revealed his confusion, “I wonder, why today the attachment is in the document that Anna and I hold?”

“So you think there's sabotage? Who and why? This is an NGO where I feel proud to build it. Although the interstaff does not always get along, we are a close family and support each other, if there are difficulties,” said Mr. Ben with a voice starting to rise.

Adnan breathed deeply. He's feeling increasingly bad for Mr. Ben. He was looking for a scapegoat. “I don't mean to, Sir,” the answer is weak. “I am willing to resign because it seems incompetent as PM.”

“No, no, no. Now we focus on the solution. You must repair the reputation of our institution. Make sure Anna gives comprehensive input this time and they appreciate our role in public. Let’s move on,” said Mr. Ben.

Anna threw herself in the bed. He bete once with the incident today. Try to trace from the beginning what is roughly causing chaos today. Starting from the first day he entered the office, met Adnan, got documents from Riska, then studied it at home.

The next day, Anna remembered starting to write down her analysis results from the documents. After that he discussed with Bu Dian, Riska, and Adnan.

The next day the discussion continued with Adnan. Very detailed, but exciting, until they have to work overtime.

Anna smiled to herself remembering the day of the discussion. Fizzy cheeks. They were enjoying a package of beefy chickens at dinner, before the electricity was suddenly cut off and the room went pitch black.

Adnan turned on the flashlight on his phone to light up the table. They continued to eat dinner. Romantic, feel candle light dinner. Unfortunately, the romance only lasted about ten minutes because the security guard then turned on the generator. The room was back bright.

Oh, Adnan. He's a really handsome guy with an athletic body. Quite tall compared to the men in his office, but a little shorter than Pak Ben who was almost 180 cm tall. Her skin is light brown. Macho is more, deh. His attitude is also gentle, attentive, making Anna pounding and misbehaving when there are nearby.

Anna had to fight hard to appear normal in front of Adnan. He realized, it wasn't just him that had a crush on Adnan. There are two female field staff, plus Omest, who giggles incoherently each time they come close to Adnan. Waita! One over. Riska also seems to have a crush on Adnan. Hmmm, he is a tough rival compared to the three young children earlier.

Anna tries to make comparisons, what she and Riska have done to get a good impression from Adnan.

“I, almost sprayed Adnan with my saliva the first time I met. He thrust a tissue to clean up the lilok seasoning that was dirtying my clothes. Then I lost an important attachment, to the point that the embarrassing incident took place in a public consultation forum. Total value, minus one.” Anna spoke to herself and wrote down the minus sign and the big one on the paper.

“Riska, find Adnan kosan with full struggle, provide complete information and data, even he volumes with hard cover, similar to the thesis. It always looked neat and sweet in front of Adnan. Total value, three.”

Huuh! Anna was upset by herself and ruffled her hair.

Breakfast with her mother and younger siblings, Derri and Rangga, is Anna's favorite moment. There was always a small commotion that made him smile every time he remembered it. Like this morning.

“Dik, you exam semester when? Watch out, yeah, if your GPA doesn't go up. Even if you study at a public university, if your GPA is so bad, you are ashamed to know!” Anna advises in the style of elder sister.

“Tan easy, Brother. Later I will just practice nepotism to the former Papah men and ask for work. Apes-apesnya, mah,” said Derri tick her brother. Derri, the mischievous middle child. Studying in Informatics Engineering, fourth semester. Anna always misses her puffed cheeks for always bribing too much food.

“Eh, cireeeng! The kanji head. Beware, yes, if you nepotism because of the value of the drop! You smear Papah's good name tofu. Justjust look. I sambit, nyaho, lu!” spray Anna Scrap.

“Mamihhh! Ganteng period Mamih spelled cireng!“ Derri complains with the pretentious style of fondling.

The mother approached the dinner table and placed a large Tupperware box filled with cheese bananas. “This is for your friends in the office, Anna.” Anna's mother was generous, happy to make food for her children's friends, as well as her neighbors and study group.

“You don't call him cireng. The gallant and puffy Mamih child is more suitable so.. mmm.. batagor!” the mother said seductively to Derri.

“HAHAHA!!” the laughter of Rangga, the youngest, exploded. Anna also choked. Bi Sumi, their housekeeper, walked into the dining room. “Aduh, early in the morning already have breakfast batagor?” plain sap. Then everyone laughed again. “Bi Sumi not connecting!” sahut Rangga's.

Anna puts a Tupperware containing a banana cheese made by the mother on the pantry table. He typed a message in the WAG office: Gaes, there's a cheese banana in the pantry.

He brought two slices of cheese bananas on a small plate for Mr. Ben to his room. Mr. Ben greeted with joy and thanks. He placed the small plate next to his coffee cup.

“I’m so sorry yes, sir. Yesterday's incident was embarrassing. Have you heard from Adnan and his friends?” said Anna.

“It’s okay, Anna. Now focus on your meeting plan with the CEO of that company. What time did you meet? I've seen your presentation material you sent last night. Good,” said Mr. Ben.

Adnan emerged from the stairs and was about to walk to his desk when Mr. Ben mentioned his name.

“Adnan, you have to meet with the comdev team before they go to the field next week. So this week you focus with them.” Mr. Ben interrupted his own conversation with Anna and gave instructions to Adnan.

“Ready, Sir,” replied Adnan while throwing his smile at Anna. Anna replied and waved her hand lightly.

Mr. Ben went back to Anna. “So what time is it?”

“Back two in the afternoon, sir. At Hotel Andromeda,” Anna replied.

At lunchtime, Adnan sat near Anna at the dinner table. He took advantage of this short time to make sure Anna was ready, as well as giving her some spirit. Anna was very pleased with this form of attention. He was unaware of Riska's envious delicacy at the end of the table. Why was Anna so lucky. After being dropped, I even want to see the CEO. Riska grumbled in her heart.

The break is over. Anna had just landed her ass in her work chair when Riska came over. “You want to wear that shirt, brother? Sori, yes, just a suggestion. Want a special meeting with the CEO only wear jeans and shirt?” cerocos Risk.

“Aduh, wrong yes, Brother?” Anna checked her clothes.

“Indeed, anyway, we're NGOs. His style is casual, but given yesterday's embarrassing incident, shouldn't we try harder to give a good impression?” said Riska again.

Anna's stunned. “Alright, Brother. Thanks for the input,” he said.

Riska smiled and patted Anna on the shoulder. He walked to his own table.

Anna went to the bathroom on the floor. There's a dressing room inside. Lockers lined up along one of the spacious bathroom walls.

The existence of the bathroom, as well as the dressing room is very grateful to the staff, especially those who just returned from the field. They can immediately wash their shabby face and change clean clothes before continuing work in the office.

There was a mirror at the height of an adult on the other side of the wall. Anna looked at herself in front of the mirror. He was confused, if he had to go home first, what could he wear from his clothing collection in the closet?

There are four skirts, two knee-length canal dresses for the condangan, three gamis, and two batik brackets blouses. Nothing interesting. The rest? Yeah, just pants, shirts, and t-shirts.

Anna looked at her own reflection in the mirror. Sweet parasols. Her skin is yellow. Height 160 cm and weight 60 kg makes it slim, but contains a synthetic alias. Her lips are pink, no more lip-splitting. But many people say, what makes it attractive is precisely his face that looks smart and his character is supple.

Anna sighed. He still could not decide what he wanted to wear in exchange for this shirt and jeans. He walked out of the bathroom and passed Adnan by the door. Adnan just came out of the toilet.

“Hai! Koq, get out of the bathroom, but don't look just finished shower?” greet Adnan.

“Iya nih, Brother. I look for inspiration in front of a mirror. According to Big Brother, should I change my clothes to meet the CEO?” ask Anna to the point.

“Well, I think, anyway, your clothes are decent enough. The jeans and collared shirt still look polite and nice. Your shirt even looks new,” said Adnan watching Anna from head to toe.

“Your sneakers are also clean, not muddy,” he chuckled. “This is a private meeting anyway, right? No dress code, huh? But if you have less PD, yes, wear a blazer, deh. No need to button,” Adnan's advice again.

“Waaah! Sister is really a fashion advisor! Pass, deh, Ivan Gunawan. Thanks very much!” Anna surged and her eyes twinkled. Good advice according to him. Then just remembered, wait, there is a blazerkah at home? Ah, yes, there is one navy blue blazer that he wore during an interview for the screening of S2 scholarship recipients first at Nuffic Neso, the Dutch Embassy.

While putting on her helmet and turning on her motorcycle, Anna prayed, “God, give me a chance to perform and do cool things in front of Adnan. Ever since I met, I've always been in trouble and she's always been perfect! Please, oh, God. Vulcanize. Aamiin.”

Anna drove home to pick up the blazer. From there, he will head to the Andromeda Hotel.
