Love Vania

A Pride

The sun had just woken up from a long night's sleep. The sky that greeted with new hope. The whispering wind conveys the spirit of the morning to its connoisseurs. Birds sing like natural music.

This morning Devan was getting ready to go to the office in his favorite shirt. He already looks neat with long black pants and a light blue shirt combined with a tie patterned with a coat and coat that matches the color of his pants.

Devan is picked up by Ronald to the office. As usual, all the eyes of the girls who worked there looked in admiration at his superiors who always appeared perfect. Young, handsome and successful, those three words are always spoken by them when they hear the name of the famous boss so firmly.

Devan entered his room and sat down on his seat of greatness.

Ronald who from the morning tailed his boss was soon putting together some work for today.

"call Lia here" Devan's orders were immediately taken by his Assistant.

Ronald immediately contacted Lia via the phone on his boss' desk. He asked the president's secretary to meet them while bringing a schedule for today's agenda.

Shortly thereafter, the sound of the door being knocked from outside. Lia immediately opened it and entered after hearing the orders from within.

"excuse me sir" said Lia politely

"what's my schedule for today, Lia" asked Devan

"Today there are only two meetings you have to meet. At ten in the afternoon you have a meeting with the owner of PT. Mekar Jaya for the signing of the contract at this office and the second meeting with one of the SA Group branch companies led by Mr. Broto to discuss the new project of the company in Kalimantan, Indonesia, and they asked for a meeting to be held at the Lime Cafe near this office at lunchtime" Lia explained one by one the agenda she noted for today.

"that means after the meeting with Mr Broto it's free?" ask Devan

"right sir"

"well thank you very much. You can go back to work" said Devan let Lia back to his room.

"well sir, excuse me" said Lia slightly bowed her body before exiting her boss' room.

"is there anything I need to do before PT Mekar Jaya gets here?" ronald asked his boss.

"nothing. You can go back to your room. And call me when our client comes" Devan said

Ronald nodded and then left his boss room.

Devan immediately grabbed his flat object which he placed on the table. He deftly searched for one of the contact names and placed his phone on his right ear.

"hallo assalamualaikum"

"hallo waalaikumsalam oom, can we meet at four o'clock in the afternoon at the cafe next to the oom office?"

"can Devan, I await your arrival"

"thank you oom. assalamualaikum"

"waalaikumsalam"

Devan terminated his phone call and put his flat object back on the table. He opened and studied the files on the table that he had left two days ago.

Devan immediately prepared by fixing his clothes to keep it looking neat to welcome the arrival of his client.

Soon Ronald returned with a man in his 40s with his secretary.

Devan invited them in and sat on the sofa of his room. They say hello to each other and introduce themselves because they do not know each other because of the meeting yesterday attended by his father Satria and Ronald.

They talked to each other about the employment contract. Then Lia entered the boss room with a document containing a contract agreement letter that will be signed by both parties between the leadership of SA Group and PT Mekar Jaya.

Finished with the first meeting, Devan and Ronald went to Lime Cafe to meet Mr. Broto because it was time for lunch.

Arriving at the cafe, the arrival of Devan and Ronald is difficult to wait for by Mr. Broto and his assistant with a young man who is slightly under the age of Devan.

"sorry we were late, we just finished a meeting with a client" Devan said as he shook the hand of Mr. Broto who had just stood followed by the others.

"it's okay, Mr. Devan, after all we just arrived" said Mr. Broto with a smile, "yes let's sit down Mr. Devan" he continued, pointing his hand at the empty chair next to Devan.

"thank you sir" said Devan politely.

Everyone on the bench was seated followed by Devan and Ronald.

"oh yes, Mr. Devan, this is my son Alex, he will help me run the project in Kalimantan for next year, because he happens to be in college and next year just graduated" said Mr. Broto introduced his son to Devan.

Devan responded by smiling and nodding as a sign of respect for his interlocutors.

Alex reaches out his hand which Devan replies to.

"i'm Alex"

"i'm Devan"

"it's great to meet and work with successful people like you sir" said Alex smiling kindly, he realized his position as Devan's subordinate.

"don't overdo it, Mr. Alex, I still feel I have to learn with the business world" Devan said

"No master, your name and success have been recognized in the world of business. Even I often see your face plastered in some business magazines" said Devan glorifying the man in front of him. He was so impressed with the charisma that Devan had. Calm and relaxed in dealing with business problems.

Yes, these days Devan's face is often wara-wiri in one of the television stations and newspapers as a young and successful businessman as well as the sole heir to a large company. Next week even Devan was invited to fill an entrepreneurship seminar held by one of the institutions as a resource person to fill a speech related to his success in business.

It is a priceless pride. However, all that did not make the man become arrogant or arrogant. He remains a Devan who is known to have a friendly personality and does not talk much.

They had lunch first and then exchanged opinions on the construction of the project that was being carried out.

The meeting lasted for two more hours until they finally said goodbye to each other because there was nothing else to talk about.

Devan and Ronald return to the office after saying goodbye to Mr. Broto and his son.

Devan quickly packed up his belongings before leaving the office. He tells Ronald to drive him to the cafe that became his destination and not have to wait for the boss to finish.
