Killing Me Softly's
28
The clock is at 11:37
After completing her work, Lyra awaits the arrival of an HRD who will introduce her new secretary. Since the morning the secretary was in the hands of HRD to discipline before starting work.
"Good Day, Mom. I've been with the new secretary"
"Yes, please come in and sit down.."
A woman followed the steps of HRD entering her room. With neat and formal clothing.
"I would like to introduce a new secretary who will help with the mother's work. Name: Valerie Jane, Age: 28 years. We have done a strict transfer procedure and through training for one month. With an educational background and a career whose course meets our standards .."
Lyra looked at Valerie well. Appearance is ok, expression and it seems to fit her.
"Good. Then, for Valerie. There are some things you should know personally with me. The information you receive during training is just an outline. Are you ready?"
"I'm ready, Mom"
Lyras.
"Then you can come back" he told HRD.
Previously Lyra had prepared a special note that she had listed some things that must be done by Valerie regularly. Now there were only the two of them in the room.
"Study this well…"
"Well, ma'am" he answered while receiving a medium-sized map.
"Let's work well together. Take it easy, I won't let you work late at the office. If there is something unfinished, do it at home. Then email me before 12 p.m. Is there a question?"
"Thank you, Mom. And there's something I want to talk about" he said hesitantly.
Lyra focused her gaze.
"What's that?"
"I would like to appeal to Mother's generosity to understand me, because maybe tomorrow I can not use heels that are in accordance with the standards of a secretary of this company…"
"What do you mean? Talk about it clearly.."
Valerie's face changed.
"Heels was the only one I had broken when I left this morning. Then get a reprimand in the HRD room, the heels that I currently use are reserves belonging to other employees. I'm in economic trouble, Mom. Not being able to prioritize anything else, other than eating everyday. Forgive my unprofessionalness on the first day of working with Mom" she bowed and regretted.
Not angry or reprimanding, Lyra empathizes with Valerie.
"really? what are you going through? At least tell me your condition clearly so I can understand you"
Valerie was already feeling quite uneasy about this situation. But he had no choice but to be honest. Because, heels class secretary Lyra, the price is not kidding to look professional.
"I live with my 3 sisters. And the oldest is in need of a lot of money to pay off tuition and preparation for thesis and graduation…"
Lyra did not expect to hear the story of her secretary's life which was fairly difficult. Though if viewed, Valerie like a child from the family is capable and has a qualified competence. But Lyra did not want to ask about her parents.
"That is. mmm. Use anything as long as it is worth working. If anyone scolds you, just tell me I don't mind. But, do work well. In order for me to be reliable right" said Lyra firmly.
Valerie was very pleased with Lyra's generosity. He bowed many times.
"Thank you very much, Mom"
Lyra walks to her desk to pick up her phone.
"It's lunch time. You can get down to the canteen immediately.."
"Do you want me to have lunch?"
"No. I already have a place to have my own lunch.."
///
"You're 20 minutes late" said Moeis, who had enjoyed lunch earlier.
"Yes, I'm taking care of the new secretary a little bit"
"Do you have anything to talk about?" ask Lyra.
"Tomorrow we'll come together for a metropolitan magazine interview . They just asked the two of us to answer some questions and take a picture. Do you mind?"
What kind of interview? Lyra did not understand. This was his first time. Unlike Moeis who has been pacing back and forth to be interviewed as a successful businessman. What they want to know about him.
"They might just want to know about you. Why am I coming too?" ask Lyra plain.
"Of course because you're my wife. But, there are some questions that lead to our married life.."
Lyra became nervous.
"Yes, we just answer for what it is. But we can say for 2 years that we pursue our own dreams. We also communicate well. Shouldn't we make a good impression on them to know?"
Moeis nodded, agreeing with Lyra's words.
"They will also ask about momongan. Actually I've received some examples of questions they sent.."
Hearing the word momongan made Lyra slightly cough. He also needs to think about it.
"What. mm. we are waiting. But yes not trusted by god" Lyra replied uncertainly.
I don't know. What about Moeis. Whether he is really waiting for the presence of a baby or not. He's not sure. The age of marriage has been long.
"Yes.." said Moeis briefly.
After that they just continued to lunch without speaking anything more. Especially Moeis who while reading some documents in his left hand.
The door opened and Helena came carrying a paper bag.
"Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry to interrupt your time.."
Moeis rubbed her mouth using a square cloth.
"What's wrong?"
Helena put the paper bag on the table.
"Pak Broto, the representative of Agung Group just finished a meeting by our director and said that his son left this for you, sir"
Moeis' expression looked ordinary and accepted it. He and Broto have known each other for a long time. Also with his son.
"Well, I'll call her myself to say thank you"
"Good, sir. Madam, excuse me" he said bowing and leaving.
Lyra was a little curious about it.
"You know his son?" ask Lyra.
"Yes. My old friend.."
"Male?"
The question was not answered by Moeis. He tidied up his paperwork to get ready to go back to the room.
"Is she a girl?" ask Lyra again.
"She's a girl and much younger than me. We are good friends, but have not communicated for a long time. What's up?"
"That's true.mm I'm just asking" Lyra replied hesitantly.
Before getting ready to go down. Moeis hugged Lyra first.
"Go home early today." - Pinta Lyra.
"I'm not sure if you want, you can go out with your friends. Spend time with them" Moeis said, then kissed Lyra briefly.
"All right…"
Seriate...
