It's like, I'm in Love

Ch. 14

A commotion ensued as Alfian entered the office. The few female staff who saw her appearance, immediately gathered in groups after Alfian entered her room.

"Sir Alfian is still pale huh."

"Yes, my future husband still looks weak."

"Idihhh, does Mr Alfian want to be with you? Mr. Alfian's type is older. Body well, not like you're skinny like a broomstick."

The three laughed and returned to their respective desks.

"I want to take care of Mr. Alfian for free."

"I was so sad to see such an unhealthy handsome face."

"But still handsome. Make me love more."

And there are many more sentences that worry about the condition of Alfian from the women workers groups.

"Hmmm!!!"

Deheman Rama made things go quiet again. Even the young man turned his head to scan the entire corner of the room.

Rama has a face that is no less handsome than Alfian. But the difference is, Rama is cheaper to smile if it is outside the family scope than Alfian.

But if he is in serious mode as he is right now. No one would dare to come near or say hello.

As soon as the situation calmed down, he went into his own room.

"Sir Rama has been really bad lately." Whisper one of the officers to his partner.

"Maybe he's tired." The colleague replied while looking in all directions to make sure they were safe. "And he has to handle all the work of Mr. Alfian." Immediately after making sure it's safe."

"Mmm, it seems so. Come on, keep working."

"Good day, Alfian."

"Good day, Mr. Deni." Alfian returned the handshake of the burly man in front of him.

"O yes, introduce. This is my assistant in this town, Miss Intan."

Alfian nodded without looking at the girl appointed by Mr. Deni.

"And this is Rama, my secretary." Alfian also introduced Rama who participated in the business-smelling lunch.

"Let's not waste time." Alfian said as he sat down, ignoring Intan who was looking at him with a seductive look.

Mr. Deni nodded his head. He opened the map that Intan had prepared and began to introduce the business entity he led.

The presentation went well, and Alfian said he would consider continuing to work together or not.

"O yes. Please don't take this as a bribe. I sincerely give as a sign of introduction." Said Mr. Deni while thrusting a paper bag towards Alfian. "Even if we do not cooperate, I hope Mr. Alfian and Mr. Rama still want to accept me as a colleague from afar."

Alfian received Deni's gift. "This, what?" Alfian asked with a probing glance.

"That's a deer jerky. Typical souvenirs from our city, Mr. City. There are also crocodile leather souvenirs."

"Thank you very much Mr. Deni. I will receive this gift of introduction. Introduce as a new friend, not a fellow entrepreneur." Alfian's words were full of emphasis.

Mr. Deni laughed a little. "If I'm not sincere, I'll give you a much more expensive sir." Mr. Deni understood the direction of Alfian's words.

Alfian and Rama looked at it for a moment and nodded.

Soon, the waiter came and started serving food to those in the VIP room. They eat dishes interspersed with small talk to get to know each other.

Then the sound of a phone call made them pause for a moment.

"Sorry, it's mine." Said Mr. Deni then immediately answered the call.

Without waiting for a response, he immediately disconnected the connection.

"Nephew's in College Y." Said Mr. Deni in stale.

"Old Father, what do you mean?" Ask Rama, enthusiastically.

Mr. Deni smiled. "Look, I was the first of three children. So, all the children of my sisters would call me Old Father."

Rama nodded. "It means the same as I call Mr. Alfian's parents, Pakde and Bude."

Pak Deni's eyebrows raised. "Bather two cousins?"

"Yes." Yeah." Rama answered with a proud smile.

Alfian's heart was always warm with the spontaneous speech of Rama and his sister. Or other cousins. They will not add any explanation. To them, Alfian is their cousin, the Son of Sultan and Rara, period!

"Well, I'm happy to see families helping each other on the job. My brother is not interested in business. One is a Doctor, and the other is dabbling in the spiritual world."

"Say they are ready to fully support. Because one will treat you if you are sick because you think about business. And one will always remind if the business that you live deviated too far religiously." Rama said, laughing a little.

"True, you're right." Pak Deni's voice was accompanied by laughter.

And as usual, Alfian just put on a flat face. But Mr. Deni did not bother about it.

Before meeting Alfian, he had already heard and read various news about the young businessman. Even he found out from some people who had worked with Alfian. And they say the same thing. Mr. Alfian Adhyaksa minimal expression.

Lunch this time has its own impression for Alfian. It seemed, Mr. Deni was indeed not thinking too much about whether Alfian would cooperate with him or not. Because after the meal, their conversation did not mention business at all. Unlike some entrepreneurs from the region who want to cooperate with Alfian.

"Thank you for the dinner, sir." Alfian said sincerely while shaking Mr. Deni's hand. "I'll tell you soon."

"Together, Mr. Alfian. I'll wait." Deni replied, and then he shook hands with Rama.

After the departure of Alfian and Rama, Deni's face changed. His hospitality was gone, he stared intan intently.

"Please use the brain, do not use the body and face. If you can't control yourself and train like that. You don't have to work on me anymore." Said Mr. Deni to Intan.

He was already troubled by Intan who was blatantly staring full of puja and longing at Alfian. Even some of Intan's gestures make her cleavage more visible.

"Ta.but Sir. I did this for Peru…."

"I don't want to get a job in an inappropriate way. You should have known that." Cut the Deni quickly. And he knows, Intan lied if he mentioned his behavior earlier for the sake of Deni company.

"Sorry Sir. I won't repeat it again."

🖥️🖥️🖥️

Alfian and Rama were close to their car when suddenly a woman hugged Alfian from behind.

"I don't want to break up with you." Said the woman who turned out to be Wulan with a quivering voice.

Alfian clasped Wulan's hands together and forcibly escaped.

"Aakhhhh!" Wulan almost fell backwards.

Alfian heard Wulan's scream, but he chose to not care. Alfian stepped back without wanting to look at Wulan.

Wulan who wants to chase in the face of Rama. "I don't want to throw one more woman's body away. Please, I'm so tired." Rama said with a clear face and the volume of sound made slowly. It was as if he was afraid that Alfian would hear his words.

Wulan's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He nodded and hurried to his own car.

"What did you tell him?" Alfian asked Rama after the young man sat behind the wheel.

"I told you, I'm tired and don't want to dump a woman's corpse anymore." Rama answered with comfort.

Alfian did not respond, he smiled faintly and looked out the window as Rama's car started moving away from the restaurant.
