Let Me Hate

Episode 9's.

That night Asta felt very irritated because he had no stance and was very easily persuaded by Kevin, but he also felt Kevin was right, that he had gone too far to attack Monica .

" Aaaah, stupid fool, why am I meddling in their affairs, make my head woozy," Asta nagged at herself.

Because he could not sleep yet he went out to take a laptop and a briefcase that was on Kevin's desk. Usually he works out of the room, but tonight he doesn't want to meet his boss . Asta has re-entered his room, and he doesn't know Kevin is paying attention from his room's cctv as he picks up his laptop and briefcase.

" What's he gonna do, it's been this night?," Kevin didn't understand with his secretary.

After completing his task for tomorrow, finally a feeling of sleepiness approached him. Make Asta not how long he sleeps, but the important quality of sleep .

Kevin was already in the kitchen and was enjoying his coffee, it had been almost half an hour he waited for Asta but the girl had not come out yet, withholding patience he headed to his desk and saw Asta's message placed on the table .

" I'm sorry sir, I left first ,"

" What does it mean he's gone first?, Astari you tested my patience" whispered Kevin exasperatedly and he squeezed a message from Asta .

Meanwhile, Asta had arrived at the office very early in the morning, and he had been reprimanded by security who felt surprised because the President's secretary had arrived , usually Asta came with the President .

" Good morning ma'am ?."

" Good morning sir, I can go in, right ?."

" Can't Mom, please ."

Asta got into the elevator to the seventeenth floor. He still feels not accepting with the incident last night and actually he feels very childish but somehow he did it and it makes him very angry with himself.

Asta is preparing the files to be submitted to Kevin while Amanda is not yet in office.

Because work hours have not started he heard music through his mobile phone and suddenly Kevin took his phone violently and threw a message written by Asta.

" Hey...."

" What hey, are you tired of working here?, if yes please resign" Kevin's voice was very loud and also sounded threatening.

Hearing Kevin's words, Asta just smiled cynically.

" I'm not tired of working here because the salary I received is quite high, while this writing is completely unrelated to my work. Do you think it has something to do with it?."

" You are the great chief of Astari, then I allow you to find another place to live. I'll give you some time today to pack up otherwise I'll throw it all away."

" Mister Kevin, everything there is that you buy. So whatever you want," Asta responded to Kevin's threat bravely.

Kevin and Asta looked at each other with rays of hostility, none of them would budge until Amanda walked in and looked at them with astonished eyes .

" I asked for a job report today as soon as possible," Kevin entered his room leaving Asta who immediately sat down trembling.

" How could I possibly be at home with her?," she lamented inwardly.

" What's up As?, it's been a few days Mr. Kevin doesn't sound angry and since you worked often smile instead," asked Amanda attentively.

" It's okay, I just had a chance to offend her, I went inside first yeah," Asta brought the file that Kevin asked to make Amanda feel confused.

Asta entered Kevin's room and he saw the man staring out the window.

" Excuse me sir, here's the file you asked for," Asta put the file on Kevin's desk.

Kevin didn't answer just looking at Asta.

" Do I need to go out while you check the report?" asked Asta in his usual voice.

Kevin went to his desk and ignored him. He only read the report while Asta waited patiently.

Almost 1 hour Kevin let Asta stand waiting for him .

" Create the official report and then ask Amanda to convey each part" Kevin said while handing it back to Asta.

Asta returns to work on the report that Kevin requested, while Amanda herself is recording a report from each section to submit to Asta for inspection.

Amanda saw Asta's very serious face and she smiled in surprise when Asta asked.

" Where are you still empty Manda's room ?"

" Hah, uh still, coincidentally next to my room just moved yesterday ."

" Why move ?."

" He's resigned so he's looking for a cheaper place" Amanda explained.

" Maybe, how much the rent will cost, I'll transfer it for the rent. The facilities are complete, right ?."

" It's been."

" Sip, please help. Okay, I'm going in first ."

They were still working seriously when Kevin came out of his room and saw they were still busy working.

" It's been your break time not lunch?," asked Kevin to them .

" Yes sir, this is saving the result of typing ," Amanda replied while Asta just nodded.

Kevin leaves them, and somehow he wants to see and try his lunch at the company's kantin.

As usual, Asta stopped by the musholla first to pray dhuhur before lunch.

Meanwhile, there was a furore because a President was present with them for lunch even in different places , but for some employees, especially female employees, it is truly a boon to be able to see their mysterious President.

" Manda, is that really our President?, crazy you are so lucky to see his face often?," Tiwi asked without taking her eyes off Kevin.

" What dream did I have last night to see the face of our President" Diana looked at the room next to them.

" Eh, if the President had just eaten here then where is his secretary?," asked Tiwi looking around.

" Right, why didn't she come downstairs huh," Diana asked as she looked at Amanda.

Actually not only Tiwi and Diana asked but also Kevin, he was curious and looking for Asta with his eyes and he saw Amanda was not with Asta.

" Good day sir. It's a pleasure to enjoy lunch with you" said Krisna with the respect Kevin replied with a nod of his head .

While they all enjoyed lunch with excitement because they could see the President, Asta was enjoying his rest by sleeping in the musholla after the completion of the dhuhur prayer. He does not care about the message or the phone that goes in his mobile phone .

Twenty minutes before the break was over, her phone alarm went off and she immediately got up, washed her face and tidied up her new makeup and headed out to the cafeteria.

Her fresh-looking face was very pleasing to the eye and this afternoon she went to the cafeteria alone because she had not met Lidya like before.

" Obviously Astari has been down to eat, why hasn't she come down yet?," Krisna's voice sounded softly and she instantly kept silent as Kevin stared at her sharply.

" I'm sorry sir, I don't mean sassy, '" Krishna dared not speak again .

After finishing lunch, Kevin returned to work followed by the others .

While in the employee section there are only a few people who are still there. Asta entered the cafeteria without looking left and right directly to the drink and ordered a glass of avocado juice and fruit salad.

Like work, to eat was done Asta quickly so he did not waste long time to finish everything .

On the 17th floor, Kevin feels completely wrong with what happened between him and Asta. But his high ego justifies his actions, something that makes no sense to him because unlike Asta, he does not feel calm .

" Amanda, come in" Kevin asks Amanda to meet him through the intercom.

" Excuse me sir, "

" Sit down !."

" Is Astari having lunch outside ?."

" No sir," Amanda found it strange to hear Kevin ask Asta.

" Why not be with you?."

" It's usual for Asta to pray dhuhur first sir and rest for a while before going down to eat," Amanda answered Kevin's question in a soft voice.

" Has it always been like that ?."

" Always Sir, that's what Asta did when he started working here . And maybe he's back now. Do I need to call her ?."

" No need, just tell him I asked him to bring his work now."

" Good sir," Amanda left the room and it's true that Asta was in his chair and had opened his laptop.

" Asta, Mr. Kevin asked you to bring your work to be awaited now," Amanda conveyed a message from Kevin to Asta that looks fresh .

" Okay," he said smiling as he got up from his seat .

" This is what the hell is it, why is their attitude really strange?," asked Amanda inwardly.
