Almeera stepped firmly, passing through the financial staff area to her room, the financial manager. He was always confident, both with his appearance and his ability so that everyone who looked at him would feel fear as well as respect.
Until when he reached the doorway of his room with his hand reached for the doorknob, someone called out to him.
"Sorry, Mom. The president called Mom into his room."
Almeera had expected that this would happen, but she did not expect Sean Paderson to move so quickly. In fact, he had only just reached the office and had not had time to enter his room, the man had already started the plan.
"I'll be there."
The person who gave the information nodded while retreating afterwards.
Now, Almeera chooses to enter her room first to calm her heart and mind before meeting someone who seems to be dangerous and emotionally draining. He inhaled a deep breath of air, then swallowed it slowly.
If anything happens with her career, she still has Mama Rani and Alvaro. At any rate, Alvaro must be willing to accept it because he has gone too far fighting for and sacrificing what has become his.
After a few moments of sitting with many things in mind, Almeera finally got up from her swivel chair to then stand up and step towards the door.
"We see who the winner and loser is this time" he murmured with a meaningful smile.
...***...
A knock rang out from outside, distracting the two people who were fighting inside the room. Mr. Richard, who was the head of the company, nodded and shouted to allow someone who knocked on the door to enter immediately.
Look there Almeera gracefully and her admirable smile standing in the doorway. The woman stepped into the room that had previously closed the door first.
His eyes were immediately presented with a face full of threat a Sean Paderson who was behind the smiling face mask. The man's gaze was so sharp, it pierced straight into the depths of Almeera's eyes, making the woman unknowingly regress because she had gotten lost in the sparkling blue bead circles.
Eyeballs that should be beautiful if viewed, it looks terrible, making the confidence and courage of Almeera previously collected with all her might to shrink by itself.
"Sit, Almeera!" Mr's orders. Richard to Almeera.
The woman was jolted with daydreaming, too fixated with the eyes of Sean Paderson who was so scary. He gulped then, neutralizing the nervousness and gathering back the courage that had been scattered some time ago. He nodded afterwards, taking a sitting position on the long sofa near the door.
Now, a silence enveloped the room. Belun there opened the conversation because the two men in front of Almeera seemed busy with their Personal Computer. Sean Paderson and Mr. Richard engaged in serious discussions using their language, which was French. Both men are Canadian and French is one of the official languages of the country.
Almeera felt like she was not cared about in the room, wanted to leave not daring, wanted to interrupt the conversation of the two influential people in front of her that was also impossible. The guts that he had been proud of since had vanished already. He felt dwarfed here, moreover he did not understand what exactly the two people were talking about.
And when Almeera is almost bored of waiting for so long, Mr. Richard started the conversation.
The woman immediately turned her attention to the superior, waiting for the next sentence to be thrown at her. "Yes, Sir!"
"How long have you been working here?"
"Two years, sir. Yeah, about two years." Almeera answered with confidence.
"And for two years, it took you only three months to reach this position?"
Question Mr. Richard was able to surprise Almeera. His position was indeed so easy to achieve after a three-month struggle to become a financial staff at that time. However, never once had anyone discussed the matter before him. It was as if the thing that was happening to him was really on the basis of his outstanding qualities and abilities. He deserved it all without anyone daring to argue or doubt it.
However, after he reigned for two years, only this time it was questionable to make Almeera's soul disturbed instantly.
"Yes, Sir. I was appointed after three months as a financial staff because it was considered appropriate and able to carry out this task after a long-time financial manager was fired from the company."
The tall-bodied man nodded, turning his gaze towards Sean Paderson. And at the same time Almeera felt there would be a storm hitting his brilliant career.
Seeing a smile full of mystery and warning that looks as great as on the lips of the man has proved that he and his career are being threatened.
"Miss Almeera, this is a big company. A Manager here is required to have a high qualification, at least graduates of strata two Business and Financial Management from overseas Universities. Seeing from your one strata diploma with a not-so-high GPA, it would be a strange thing to occupy the position of financial manager with such a vulnerable timeframe."
Almeera did not accept, she immediately answered what was the doubt of her leader. "I was raised because I was considered capable. The diploma is just a writing, it does not determine the hidden ability of its owner. Wasn't it during my time in office that there wasn't a single problem? All because indeed I can be relied upon in carrying out this position."
Mr. Richard did not dispute Almeera's words. It is true that there is nothing problematic during Almeera's tenure, until all friends of the financial staff feel Almeera is indeed capable and worthy of occupying the position. That caught the attention of Sean Paderson.
Sean Paderson observed and researched Almeera's football at the company. Hacking access to the company's database and all digital files stored on the server was examined by the man. And what he found made him more convinced if there was sabotage, fraud, and drama that two important people of the company did for the rise of the position of Almeera who was considered unnatural.
Mr. Richard took the file that Sean Paderson had prepared in front of him. The man read for a moment that he had learned shortly after Sean came to his room. The bright blue-eyed man directed his gaze towards Almeera, sticking the beam forward. "See this! Are you involved in it?"
Almeera flinched for a moment. There is fear within. Slightly hesitating he began to move, then stepped slowly towards Mr.'s table. Richard.
His hand had touched the file arranged in the dark blue map. It was carefully opened, and once the map was open, he was presented with something that made him distrustful.
His eyes bought, filled with real shock, not expecting that the thing that had been tightly closed had been easily scraped and discovered by the man in front of him. Of course, this makes it a dead flea. He was fixated on the string of writings and images that were already wide open in front of him, thus making him tremble and trouble just to swallow his own saliva.
"Cannot be. This is all impossible!" he said with sweat that began to flood his forehead and temples.
