LOVE THE EXPATRIATE
2. Arrived in Jakarta (2)
At four o'clock in the afternoon they had entered the dense Thamrin area. Until finally the car turned to the complex of a seven-story building, Grand Jakarta Plaza. This plaza is one of the buildings in the superblock area, Grand Jakarta Land, along with four other towers containing apartments and offices.
Edward follows Adrian who walks into the plaza and heads to the elevator. They exited on the fifth floor and walked through the corridor of the plaza filled with famous brand outlets. Until finally they arrived in front of an outlet with the Zafora logo.
“This is our main outlet, Mr. Edward.” said Adrian let the man in.
In addition to being Edward's assistant, the man was also the manager for the outlet at the Grand Jakarta Plaza. Some female employees wearing uniforms came to greet and greet him.
Edward received their greetings and swept a glance at the display case filled with skin care and fashion products. His gaze stopped on the photo baner of a woman who modeled their product.
“Two other outlets are in the south and east." said Adrian.
"We're lucky to be here, Mr. Edward. This is the main business district of Jakarta. From here you will easily access the Sudirman, Senayan and Semanggi.” area, said the man again.
“Ya.” Edward the mangosteen sign agreed.
After seeing the outlet, Adrian took him to the office which was in the opposite tower. During his time in Indonesia, Edward received the same rights as Mrs. Elena. He will use one workspace and one apartment unit that used to be occupied by the woman.
The office is not too broad, but enough to accommodate the mobility of all employees. Once inside, the man found the lobby area. There is a reception desk and living room. There are some photos of Zafora products that are being exhibited by the models on the wall. A female receptionist greeted him.
Next to the reception desk is a corridor that connects the area with the employee room. There are 12 units of work desks in that place. On the wall is displayed a giant monitor screen that is displaying news from a national television station channel. While some employees welcomed him friendly and gave his greetings.
Adrian immediately invited Edward into his new workroom. A room that is bounded directly by the walls of the building made of glass. In this room Edward can view the city of Jakarta from a height of 140 meters. There was a desk and a set of sofas in that room.
Management deliberately selects offices, outlets and apartments in one interconnected location. It was to facilitate Edward's movement without having to drive a car. Given the worsening city congestion. Even so, he still gets car facilities if he has to visit other outlets or get out of town.
The last place Adrian introduced was an apartment.
“This is your apartment, Mr.” Adrian said after they went inside.
The man turned on the light of the room. He rushed to the pantry to check the stove, microwife and the water in the sink. Everything works well. Not to forget he also opened the refrigerator to see the contents.
The apartment was large enough to be occupied by both. A pantry as well as a dining room, sitting room, and a bedroom and bathroom. National Monument Monument in the distance as Adrian opens the curtains covering the glass wall.
“Once again I congratulate you on duty in Indonesia. And have a good rest, Mr.” Adrian said shaking Edward's hand.
“Thank you again, Mr. Adrian.” reply.
Before leaving, he handed over the apartment id card and car keys.
“Oh yes, one more Mr. Edward, just call me Adrian only. I'd say if you call me ‘Tuan’.”
The man before him laughed while nodding. After escorting Adrian to the door, Edward entered the room. Without pressing his things first, he immediately threw his body on the bedcover to relieve his fatigue for a moment. He has to be excellent tomorrow on the first day he meets his employees.
