LOVE THE RECEPTIONIST

46. Ugly Mention

Dirga let Monaliza out of her room when she had finished her soup. The foreign-pitched cell phone sounds rang continuously. Dirga approached the source of the sound, apparently from inside Monaliza's briefcase that Rullina placed earlier this morning on her desk.

Although feeling uncomfortable, but curiosity forced Dirga to take Monaliza's phone from the peach-colored bag.

Leon called, so the name of the rival was on the screen of Monaliza's mobile phone. After sliding the screen on the writing received, Dirga then put the phone on her earlobe.

"Mona, I'll be picking you up for lunch as we promised last night" Leon's voice sounded soft from the other end of the line.

Dirga was silent for a moment, suddenly jealousy did not clearly attack him when he heard Leon's words. He wanted to change his voice like Monaliza, of course it was impossible for him.

"Mona, you were there, right? You're listening to me, aren't you?" asked Leon who did not hear the answer of the woman he loved. His voice still sounded soft in Dirga's ear.

"Monaliza, she can't go out to lunch with you? He had to rest at the office this afternoon because he was sick." said Dirga.

"You? How's Monaliza's phone in your hand?" ask Leon wonder.

"Monaliza is sick and resting in my room" said Dirga, whereas the woman who was the topic of their conversation had left a few minutes ago from her room. It was Dirga who hoped that Monaliza would still be there.

"ill? What pain? I'll be there right now to see it" Dirga said, sounding panicked.

"No need to come here, you're even going to disturb him to rest, he caught a cold and vomited this morning, and I've called a doctor for him, and I've given him soup by lunch today," dirga.

"All right," Leon's voice sounded disappointed and hung up.

Dirga smiled thinly, this afternoon he had managed to make Leon did not meet Monaliza. He had to figure out how to marry Monaliza as soon as possible on the grounds that her son was already in her womb.

...***...

"Rullina, did you see my briefcase this morning?" ask Monaliza while continuing to search the top drawer and bottom drawer of her desk.

"So morning I drove him to Dirga's room, when you were there Mona," said Rullina turned to Monaliza who was busy fumbling in her drawer.

"Dirga sir didn't give it to you?" rullina asked back.

Monaliza shook her head weakly, she thought for a moment, but immediately undoed her intention to take her briefcase in her boss' room, there was no way she could go back there again, given the man's unreasonable confession.

"Actually this afternoon I had an appointment with Leon for lunch, maybe he called me Ru, but my phone is in my briefcase," said Monaliza anxiously.

"Actually I want to help you Mona, but the refrigerator boss has put his haunted face on me, it seems he doesn't like it when I linger in his room," Rullina said, recalling Dirga's cold attitude towards him.

"Ehem!"

Rullina and Monaliza both turned their heads to the source of the voice. Rullina's face paled when she saw that Dirga was already standing in front of their reception desk. The two women looked at each other, wondering why Dirga had suddenly appeared there without them seeing her coming.

"Pardon me sir, s-me-," Rullina looked nervously at Dirga and lowered her head.

"Are you used to spying on your boss, hmm?" dirga said to Rullina.

"Alright, this time I forgive and forgive your mistakes that have dared to call me ugly. Don't repeat it again" said Dirga flatly.

"I-yes sir," said Rullina while nodding her head.

"This is your bag Monaliza." Dirga placed Monaliza's peach-colored bag on the high reception desk as an adult.

"Thank you, sir" said Monaliza, staring briefly at Dirga and turning to her purse, she hurriedly took her bag from the table and placed it in her desk drawer.

"So that Leon-Leon, your boyfriend, he called you to take you to lunch" said Dirga with a slightly thoughtful face.

"But I've canceled your lunchtime appointment, because I told you you were sick, needed a break, and already ate the soup I gave you,"

Monaliza gasped at the CEO's words that seemed as good as his jidat canceled a lunch appointment between Leon and himself.

"Here, I've brought you extra nutritious lunches and fresh fruit that have been cleaned so you don't get drunk anymore" Dirga put a few boxes of food on the reception desk.

"Come, open now," Dirga orders flat.

"But sir, I can't eat here, isn't that the rule? It is not allowed to eat during working hours" Monaliza said, trying to give an excuse.

Dirga put her hand on the reception desk, "Look at this, my watch has shown me the lunch hour" Dirga pointed her watch at Monaliza.

"Rullina, you can now go for lunch break" said Dirga staring at Rullina who had just been silent to hear and seemed surprised to see Dirga's unusual attention to Monaliza.

"Come, wait a minute? Hurry up you get out of here, "turn Dirga still with a flat gaze looking at Rullina who has not yet moved from behind the receptionist table.

"B-well sir," Rullina hurriedly grabbed her bag from her work drawer. For a second he did not want to delay any more time, the face of his boss looked more haunted at the sight.

"But Ru, you don't leave here" Pinta Monaliza held Rullina's arm.

"I went away for a while Mona, my stomach was already very hungry," said Rullina then hurried to leave the place. At first glance, from the tail of his eyes he could see Dirga immediately replacing himself sitting in his chair.

"I'm sorry sir, I can't get close to you" said Monaliza wanted to go and see Dirga without hesitation sit in Rullina's seat.

"You're not going anywhere, I'm here to make sure you're really spending your lunch," dirga said as she pulled out the food boxes from inside the plastic bag with her annoying calm demeanor.

"But Father-," Monaliza did not continue her speech, she simply gestured by covering her nose with her hands.

Dirga raised both hands and smelled himself, "I don't smell perfume anymore, I purposely replaced my shirt with a new one and didn't spray perfume on my shirt, so that this morning incident does not happen again," said Dirga.

Monaliza removed her hand from her nose, and she started sniffing her nose. It is true, Dirga's intoxicating perfume is not smelled, even the smell of food from the food boxes that Dirga opened burst into his nose, he said, makes his stomach feel hungry and sound smooth but can be heard by Dirga.

"Come, sit. I don't want my child in your womb to be starving because of her mother" Dirga pointed to the seat behind Monaliza.
