LOVE THE EXPATRIATE

26. Trending Topic

The news of Edward becoming a convert was finally heard by Sarah's coworkers. Actually, such good news must be conveyed to the closest people so that there is no misunderstanding.

Sarah didn't want to tell anyone at first. But the girl left a gift for Nesti to give to Edward. And because he understood very well, if his partner would not stop finding out if he was curious about something, then Sarah also told the truth. And now they're busy talking about the big boss.

Actually they had guessed that Edward was putting his heart to Sarah. All of this was seen from his attitude all along. The man visited Medan not in accordance with the company's operational standards. Generally the grandmanager will monitor all outlets every two months. But the man has been visiting their outlet for the past three months.

The most senior female employee reminded her colleagues that it was none of their business.

“Obligation we only work with the best so as not to be fired.” he said turning his head.

“The problem Mr. Edward liked Sarah was already his right. And if Sarah welcomes him or not, it is also her right.” said Nesti.

Both colleagues nodded at the words of Hesti. They agreed to that. But what surprised them was the news that Edward had converted. And each of them made their own speculations.

“Honestly, I really did not think that Mr. Edward changed his faith.” said a karyakwati.

“Actually yes, the decision taken by Mr. Edward was not something extraordinary.”, hesti told colleagues.

“How many foreigners who after settling in Indonesia, finally choose to convert. He may be among those who are amazed about Islam and finally get guidanceah.”

“Almost the development of Islam in England has also increased rapidly in the last five years, it is possible that Mr. Edward has been interested since he was still in his country. So I think he was waiting for the timing that fit aja.”

“But it seems like Ma'am, it is not that simple as Mr. Edward.” said another employee.

“This has something to do with Sarah.” he said again half whispering as if afraid to be known by the person they were talking about.

“What does this have to do with Sarah?” asked Hesti frowning.

“It seems Sarah does not want to accept Mr. Edward who has a different belief. So to be able to get his heart, the Boss was willing to do anything.”

“Although he must be a convert.” he whispered again.

Hesti and one of his friends were shocked as they exchanged glances.

“Don't like to guess ah! If it turns out that is not true, it will be slander you know.” said Hesti reminded.

“Udah, back to work again. Later we can be reprimanded by Mr. Purnomo.”

Hesti spoke again while glancing at the CCTV camera, as if trying to realize that they were always under the supervision of his manager. Inevitably the two colleagues also disbanded and stopped the matter.

...--------------------------------------------...

And the next day, the news was also a trending topic in the WhatsUp group of Zafora Employees in Indonesia. This group consists of employees of all outlets, plus office employees. And all day long they were busy talking about Edward.

Many are grateful that the big boss has received guidance. But not a few members of the group also commented slanted, because they considered there was an interest behind the important decision taken by the man.

Sarah was anxious to read their scathing comments. The comments were made by the group residents who some of whom he already knew, because he had met during training first. But there were some he didn't know because of the newcomers in the group.

He opened the group on purpose, because he saw 206 new conversations from this morning until noon. The girl thought anyone knew they were talking about important information from the center that she should know.

But eventually he regretted, because the group should be a place to share important information about work problems, just used to gossip others. Sarah also decided to leave the group members who she considered more harm than benefits. He did not want to imagine how the group collapsed shortly after he came out.

Suddenly his smartphone creaked because there was an incoming call. The girl picked up the call after finding out that it was Hesti who called her.

“Assallamu’alaikum. What's up, Ma'am?”

“Wa'alaikumsallam's chat. Why quit the group, Sarah?”

“Males by Mbak. The mission of the group has now strayed far from the beginning made.” said Sarah as she rose from her seat.

“Now more often used to gossip others. Than I will sin later, better get out, Ma'am. Later if there is important information let me ask friends.”

“But because you came out, all the group residents so know that you are the woman in question."

"You know how amazing they were.”

“Mbak sure they only know now?” ask the girl.

“They knew from yesterday. Or rather someone told me. They just pretend they don't know. The goal is to get angry, and the group gets crowded. That's what they want.”

“Sorry Sarah, Ma'am didn't mean to disappoint you like this. Forgive Ma'am ya?”

“I'm not guilty Ma'am. But what I regret is that everyone is guessing there seems to be a special connection between me and Mr. Edward. They can be free now, right? Speaking of people who are no longer in the group.”

“Once again Ma'am sorry ya.”

“Iya, Ma'am. I'm not angry.” said Sarah smiled.

“Udah first yes Mbak. There are customers to be served. Assallamu’alaikum.”

“Ia, Sarah. Wa’alaikumsallam.”
