My boss turned out to be my Background Dad
Chapter 23
..."Your desk is right over here."...
...Mr. Chandra pointed to the position near the corridor leading to the office room....
...Ayu was astonished by the location of her work desk. ...
...The place is seen far from the workbench of other employees who are only separated through the partition....
...And, that last office.....
..."That's our marketing director's office" Chandra said, knowing Ayu was watching the room. "And, the one nearby is my room," he continued....
...Ayu nodded, looking understood....
...Though actually he was confused, why Mr. Chandra put his work desk adjacent to the office of the superior, rather than with other employees....
...Whatever the reason, Ayu can only accept, because he himself is only an apprentice....
..."Today, you do not need to do any tasks, just get used to it first," Mr. Chandra told Ayu, who was replied by a nod by Ayu....
...Mr. Chandra said before leaving, "If you need something or something is not understood, you can tell me."...
..."Fine, Sir. I will," Ayu replied politely....
...Mr. Chandra then left, went into his room....
...Ayu exhaled as soon as she saw the departure of Mr. Chandra. He sat in the chair that is now his workplace. Flip through documents and learn them one by one....
...Not knowing how long it had been, Ayu averted her eyes from the documents, saw some employees coming out of the cubicle, and walked into a room....
...When Ayu intends to go to ask, Mr. Chandra comes out of his office room and walks over to Ayu....
...Mr. Chandra then said, "The director asked everyone to come to the meeting room, including you. Don't forget to take notes too."...
...Finished saying so, Mr. Chandra entered the room that was also entered by the employees....
...Ayu then took a notebook and also a pen. Go to the meeting room according to the instructions of Mr. Chandra....
...Nervously, Ayu opened the door. Walk humbly towards the end seat with the rest of the staff....
...While waiting for the arrival of the director whose own face he had never seen, Ayu noticed that there were a total of ten employees including himself in this room. The average age is about thirty to forty years....
...Shortly afterwards, a sound was heard opening the door. I look at it reflexively. Just when he saw the tall man, wearing a black formal suit walked in towards the director's main seat....
...Just as Ayu guessed who the man was, Mr. Chandra and the other employees had started to stand up and bow respectfully to the man who had just arrived....
..."Good morning, Mr. Director Aksa," said everyone, including Ayu who looked clumsy, but still stood by....
...Aksa swept a serious look at everyone, stopping for a few seconds at where Ayu was....
...'Charismatic'...
...That word first crossed Ayu's mind as soon as it saw the appearance of the young man who had just been called as the director. ...
...With dark eyebrows and deep eyes. Both their views met each other. ...
...Ayu lowered her head first with a very nervous feeling. His heart was racing for no reason....
...Noting Ayu's avoidance, Aksa flickered faintly. Then, as if nothing had happened, he began to introduce himself....
..."Maybe there are some of you here who still don't know who I am. In addition to my new position, there are also some of you who have been transferred and some of them are new employees." ...
...Aksa called out the word new employee while looking towards Ayu who still looked down....
...'pa..pa..pa's'...
...There was applause from all the staff present. Welcoming the new director....
..."Next, introduce yourself one by one, so that everyone can get to know each other." Aksa said to everyone....
...The staff stood up one by one, then introduced themselves, until it was Ayu's turn....
..."I am Ayudya Pratiwi, 20 years old. Just started an internship today. Greetings to know everything." Ayu said with her delicate voice, which was welcomed by everyone....
...Throughout the entire process, Aksa keeps a close eye on Ayu, unnoticed by all the staff, including Ayu herself....
...After the introduction session, Aksa said the purpose of the meeting....
..."I gather you here the goal is to discuss about a new project that we will now handle soon," said Aksa with full seriousness. He continued, "This project is not only important to me, but to all of you. From here it will be assessed how your ability in working. So, I hope you guys can do the job this time around as best you can."...
..."So of me, if there is anything to ask, please ask," said Aksa, looking at his employees one by one....
...One of the employees began to ask, "Sir, whether the project you are referring to is a project from PT. Raharja Corp's. About the construction of an international hotel?"...
...Aksa glanced at the employee, then nodded confirming....
..."The project we are talking about now is indeed an offer from PT. Raharja Corp's. About the distribution of furniture and hotel equipment that they are now building."...
...The employees look excited when they hear the words of Pak Aksa. So did Mr. Chandra. Although he already knew the importance of this project, but once he heard it himself from the mouth of Pak Aksa, making him more sure that this project is indeed a big project....
...The prestigious Raharja Corp. Build an international hotel, and appoint their company to supply furniture items in the newly built hotel. It is certain, once they complete the project perfectly, the higher-ups will be satisfied and give the staff involved in the project a promotion as well as a raise. ...
...How could they not be excited. All the staff in the meeting room could not wait to hear the work plan from director Aksa immediately....
...Seeing the happy faces of all the staff, Ayu smiled as well. Although he still did not fully understand about the project that was said by the director, but Ayu knew if the project was successful, many parties would benefit including himself. Therefore, he will try as much as possible to help the employees who are here....
...Aksa continued the meeting. Notifying employees of work plans that they will start working immediately....
...An hour passed as soon as everyone walked out of the meeting room....
...Ayu brought along a notebook walking through the door to her desk. However, the book suddenly fell down, when Ayu ducked down and wanted to take it back, someone's hand took it first. ...
...Ayu looked up suddenly, seeing the person who took her notebook turned out to be Pak Aksa. ...
...He immediately stood sculpting, when Pak Aksa opened his notebook instead of directly returning it. ...
...Pak Aksa flipped through Ayu's notes containing meeting materials and other important notes....
...After reading enough, Aksa returned the note to Ayu whose expression seemed empty to date....
..."Your record looks pretty perfect. Hopefully your work will be just as good" Aksa said flatly, without any ups and downs in emotions. ...
...Ayu regained consciousness, immediately took out her notebook that was returned by Pak Aksa, and replied in stammer, "B.aik, Mr. Director."...
..."Aksa," he said. Makes Ayu blink in confusion....
...Aksa again said, "You can call me Pak Aksa."...
..."A.ah.oh." ...
...Ayu was instantly clumsy. However, keep nodding, as if agreeing....
...Aksa then went to his office. While Ayu also returned to her desk by holding her notebook....
