Happy reading 😊

"Not home yet?" tanya Zachary, head of the department where Eowyn works.

"Ehh, Mr. Zach. It's a little bit more, sir."

"Do you have time? I'd like to talk to you for a minute."

Eowyn thought for a moment. For a month working here, only this time the leader wanted to chat with him.

"Hmm, may sir. Where are you gonna talk, sir?"

"What about the cafe in front of the office? Our car just here first, we go there on foot. Ride the JPO, you want to?"

Eowyn nodded, he immediately finished some stuff on his desk and walked out of the room along with Zach.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Adit." said Zach, bowing his body.

"Oh, Mr. Zach... Eowynn. You guys just got home?"

Zachary nodded his head. "Eee.. sorry, sir. I. want to ask permission to go to the cafe in front of the office for a while with Eowyn. There are some things I need to talk to him about. So, now that I'm meeting you, I'm asking for permission because Eowyn's going home late today."

'It's okay, no problem. Then go home be careful." replied Adit then rubbed Eowyn's hair.

"Come in, I allow you to take this elevator." added Adit who first entered the elevator with Mr. Hendra.

Zachary and Eowyn immediately stepped into the elevator. Eowyn stood next to her Papa and directly leaned her head against Adit's arm.

"Papa will tell Mama later, you calm down." Adit rubbed Eowyn's hair.

Eowyn nodded. "Same brother too, Pa. Brother's gonna rip if I turn it late."

"Hahahaha, yes, Papa will also report to Rayyan."

Eowyn and Zachary had been in the cafe located right in front of their office. While waiting for their order to come, Zachary started to open a chat to melt the atmosphere.

"Well, does it work?"

Eowyn nodded. "At first it was heavy because it was not ordinary, but long ago. The people on our team are really cool."

"Thank God that you're at home, I've been distressed when Mr. Adit said he'd leave his son in my department."

"I'm sorry if I'm troublesome, sir."

"What do I say if you take nicotine?"

Eowyn smiled awkwardly, holding out a drink that Zach ordered.

"After graduation, do you still want to continue your work?"

"What's possible, sir?"

Zach chuckling. "You can get in and out of that company very easily, Eowyn. It's your Papa."

"Eeeee... I mean, am I still welcome on Zach's team?"

"Sure! I just expect you to stay on my team for the next."

"Aahhh, thank you, sir. At least I don't need to bother anymore to get pocket money from Papa hehehehe...."

"Papa's boss in the office, sir. At home, it's just the head of an ordinary family."

"Is that so?"

Eowyn nodded. "Maybe, I really enjoyed being a boss's kid when I was a kid. Once in Junior High, papa sama mama began to be firm. Everything we want, we have to earn with our hard work. Started with homework assignments, began to learn nabung, until sometimes I feel Papa or the driver at home when it was deliberately not pick me up let me fret public transportation."

Eowyn recalled her childhood. "Yeah, even when we grow up we start to be unruly with Papa and Mama" he added with a laugh.

"They educate their children very well."

Eowyn nodded. "Even Rafa's class who out of a lot of behavior at home has no guts at all. Papa and Mama never played hands with us, but we were so submissive with their rules. Later, I also want to be a parent like them."

Zachary just smiled.

"Other times, if we go together like or meet outside, you don't need to be this formal. You just have to be polite in the office. You can just call my name, and you don't have to use formal language. That makes me awkward. And I. feel old if you keep calling me 'Sir'. We're only 2 years apart, Eowyn. You know I'm the same age as Rayyan?"

Eowyn nodded. "What..it doesn't matter?"

"Of course not. I asked you to do it. You can call me the same as you call Rayyan."

Eowyn shook her head quickly. "The call was only for Rayyan's brother, other than him. I never called anyone else by the name of brother. Want it meatballs, vegetable makers, I call them 'sir' more often'."

"So... Rayyan got a special call?" Zachary leaned his back against the chair while he was holding his arm.

"certain. The brother who has always protected since childhood. Maybe. brother is in the count of the second man who made me fall in love after Papa."

"What about me?"

"I mean?"

"Eowyn. My purpose for taking you out is to talk about personal matters. From the beginning, I was interested in you. Not because you're the son of the owner of the company I work for, but rather you without any other frills. Even if you are not Mr. Adit's son, I will still fall in love with you. So... Will you allow me to be close to you?"

Eowyn's still glued. He did not expect that his boss was harboring feelings for him. From the beginning of joining the marketing team, Zachary looks so familiar with everyone in his team. The confession that Zachary had just uttered, naturally shocked him.

"I know this surprises you. I just want to express what I feel. You have the right to refuse."

"What... After this we... directly dating that, sir?" eowyn asked with some hesitation.

Zachary smiles. "I told you not to call me 'Sir'."

Zachary folded his hands together at the table, staring intently at Eowyn's face.

"If you want us to go out, I don't have a problem. I don't even mind if you ask me to propose and marry you right away." she continued with a big smile that grew on her lips.

"Marriage is not that easy" said Eowyn softly.

"I know, that's why we need time to get to know each other's character. So, do you accept me?"

Eowyn. He had never been in a situation like this before. He needs time, at least he must ask for consideration of his mother or even his beloved brother.

"May give me time to think about it, it's too sudden."

"certain. I'll wait." Zachary looked at his watch. "It's not dinner yet. You want to go straight home or.. Maybe we can have dinner together?"

"May I go home and have dinner at home? Maybe we can have dinner together when I'm ready for my answer."

"Alright, Eowyn. I can't ban you. Spend a drink and a cake, after that we'll go back to the office parking lot and go home."
