Love Story of Irene

Clients from Spain

The days are tiring but also fun Irene goes through with joy. He works with all his heart. He knew a few people and was very familiar with them.

" Good morning Mr. Budi, Mr. Rudi and Mr. Sari. How are you and your mom today?" Irene always greeted the front guard guards kindly every morning. Irene was the company's friendliest employee in their opinion.

" As Miss Irene saw, we're good." Answer bu Sari and approved by the two other guards.

"Here I brought you a cookis sponge. Last night my sister and I made it. I remembered my father and mother so I thought to make it too."

"You're so kind, Miss Irene, thank you for bothering us." The guards took turns thanking me.

"It's okay, ma'am. Then I go in first, excuse me.." Irene passed.

All the guards smiled warmly staring at Irene's departure.

Irene also smiled and greeted the other employees who passed by her even though they did not know each other. Smiling and greeting first is nothing to lose, right? Especially if you see the smile Irene sweeter than honey, behhh anyone would be flattered to see it.

Like the previous days Irene first practiced typing to hone her skills, before Sam's secretary asked her to do another job. Irene's typing ability has improved considerably. He kept trying for the title of exemplary secretary. Even though his fingers feel like they want to be removed.

On the sidelines of his busy fiddling keyboard suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps approaching. He looked towards the voice. There was a man and Sam's secretary behind him. Irene stood up.

I think Sam's secretary is already in his room. He always comes faster than me. And it must have been an important person to the point that Sam's secretary walked behind him.

The footsteps of the front man stopped and stared intently at Irene as sharp as the eyes of an eagle. Irene vibrates. Irene quickly lowered her head like she was saluting but unable to speak.

Secretary Sam took a step forward and swiftly opened the door of the president's room of directors that was on Irene's left. The man looked at Irene and walked in.

Is that the president???

Irene swallowed her saliva but it felt very hard to swallow like there was a thorn in her throat.

Inside the presidential chamber

"Who is he?" Asked the president Andrew Pandu Bagaskara sharply and still standing by the door, of course with a deadly gaze.

"Your new secretary young master."

"Why should I have a new secretary, there's already you."

"This is the orders of the young master."

"Always, you associate papa with things I don't like. Now fire him, I don't need him." The king rushed over and sat down on his seat of greatness.

"I must get permission from the great master, young master." Secretary Sam walked up and stood before the king's desk.

"If you can't, let me." Pandu was about to rise from his throne.

"You'll get into trouble young master."

"Currently, you're my secretary or papa's errand boy. All right, he can work for my company. But just move him to another department."

"Can't be young sir. This is the office that the great master has appointed for him."

"Get out!" Pandu slightly shouted in annoyance.

"Your young master, I'm sorry." Secretary Sam nodded and left.

Mr. Pandu took the phone in his pocket.

"Hello pa's.. Why is there a new secretary in the office?"

"He'll help you out so much."

"I have enough Sam pa. Besides, I've been very smart to manage the company."

What the fuck is this papa. He didn't even negotiate with me first. Who is he to the point that Papa wants him.

back to Irene

Secretary Sam has told Irene the schedule of the president today after leaving the presidential room earlier.

"Miss, please welcome our clients and take them to the meeting room on this floor. They are one of the most important for this company. Soon they will be downstairs. They're from Spain."

Whaties??? Spain??? Irene glared in horror.

"What's wrong, miss? Hurry over. Don't let them wait."

"Good secretary Sam. Excuse me."

Irene grew up feeling very anxious. What if I'm gonna screw things up?

Irene's on the ground floor. He asked the receptionist if any important guests had come. Apparently not. He waited with a thumping feeling. This time he was really scared, more afraid than facing the interview yesterday. He was pacing around while waiting.

All right, I need to calm down with this. First I have to honestly say I don't speak Spanish. That'd be better.

The person waiting came. Irene saw and immediately thought that was that important client. Irene swiftly approached them without letting the receptionist greet her first.

"Good morning sir, how are you?

Irene greeted the guests, shook their hands, and smiled sweetly. That was all Irene could do for now.

"I apologize first, I can't speak Spanish, I hope you don't get angry and understand." Irene lowered her head regretfully.

The two guests looked at each other.

"Who are you?" Ask one of them.

"I'm sorry I haven't introduced myself. I am Mr. President Director's secretary. My name is Irene." (Sorry I haven't introduced myself. I'm the secretary to the president. My name is Irene)

"Isn't Mr.Andrew's secretary Sam?"(not that Mr. Andrew's secretary is Sam)

"I'm the other secretary." Irene continued to smile.

The client was a mangosteen. Irene took them to the top floor as requested by Sam's secretary.

"Ms.Irene..?" The client started a conversation inside the elevator.

" Yes sir."

"Just call my name, Felix. I can't speak Indonesian."(just call my name, Felix. I'm sorry. I don't speak English) The client smiled at Irene. It seems like she likes Irene's openness.

"That's no big deal to me, Mr. Felix. Please don't apologize."(not a big deal, Mr. Felix. Please don't apologize)

"Can you teach me Indonesien?"

Haaah, this guy is why. He can speak private Indonesian. You rich freak. Sally, still young too. Irene realized, she's an important client!!

"I will help as much as I can, Mr. Felix."(I will help as much as I can Mr. Felix)

Elevator door opens. Irene invited her client to sit in the meeting room with still a cheerful face plus a sweet smile.
