My Geeky Secretary's

3. Shadow Secretary

"Mother, Rania's home."

Rania shouted as she broke through the front door of the house. A happy face he could not hide and he wanted to tell his mother what happened today.

Rania's footsteps led her to the kitchen. Where Ajeng, Rania's mother, used to cook catering which became her business in finding rupiah coffers.

Rania immediately hugged Ajeng tightly from behind. No matter if his mother was struggling with cooking ingredients.

"Mom, guess why I just got home?"

Ajeng glanced at his eldest daughter for a moment, then refocused on the cooking in the frying pan.

"Are you accepted to work?" guess Ajeng.

"Yups, right."

Rania pranced in excitement but Ajeng's response seemed ordinary, making Rania's smile fade away instantly.

"Are you not happy I work?"

"Where may I be unhappy," Ajeng glanced at Rania and returned Rania's smile. "Where are you accepted to work?"

"I work at the Irawan Group as the CEO secretary, Mom," Rania cried so cheerfully that she re-printed like a child.

"Congratulations, son. As a reward because you are no longer unemployed, I will give you a dirty plate. Please wash it?"

Instantly Rania put her lips together. Instead of good food as a gift, get a pile of dirty dishes.

But Rania doesn't bother about that. Because he knew Ajeng was much more tired than himself, considering that the mother was a single parent who had to support two daughters.

"Ah, I'm happy, ma'am, because I can prove that I can work because of my own ability. Not because there are insiders" said Rania while busy rubbing the sponge into a dirty dish.

Ajeng who heard his son's words, suddenly stopped the movement of the hand for a moment. He glanced at Rania with a guilty look.

However, Ajeng again reminded himself if all that he did for the good of Rania as well.

Ajeng's daydream floated at his meeting with Aiden's mother, Kirana, a few days ago. After a long time without seeing each other, they accidentally met a shopping center.

At that time, Ajeng asked Kirana for help to accept Rania to work in the Kirana family-owned company now led by Aiden.

At the same time but in a different place, Aiden breezes across the backyard. The man's gaze was always the same no matter where he was. Sharp and cold.

Even a beautiful woman sitting on a park bench reading a book. The woman looked up, aware of the arrival of her son.

"Aiden," called Kirana with lips that flashed a smile.

"Mom, why would Mommy force me to hire that geeky, cranky, stupid girl to work as my secretary?" aiden to the point protest.

Aiden has always disliked talking to others. If he wanted to say something, it would definitely go straight to the heart of the matter.

Especially if his emotions are not controlled as they are today.

Patiently, Kirana could still smile and pat the empty space beside her.

"Sit, Son!"

Aiden sighed, before finally sitting next to his mother.

"Mom, I don't want that geeky girl to be my secretary. I'll fire him tomorrow. Point," Aiden's protest was full of emphasis on every word he said.

"Aiden, Rania's mother once helped Mommy. She is a widow of two children. They're living a slow life, don't you feel sorry for them?"

Aiden glanced at Kirana, then threw his face at the neatly groomed row of rose plants beside him.

"I feel more sorry for myself."

"Rania still needs a lot to learn. So you have to be patient. Mommy's sure, she can be the secretary you can count on."

Aiden snorted, unsure if a Rania could become a secretary like Kirana had said.

Kirana only responded with a smile, then casually replied, "Remember our deal Aiden, if you fire Rania, then Mommy will…"

Aiden clucking. He knew Kirana would definitely discuss this one matter.

"Yes, yes, I know," Aiden took a breath. "Well, I'm not going to fire Rania but rather get her to resign. I don't like it if there's nepotism in the Irawan Group company."

Aiden got up from his seat, stepped across the back garden, and entered into his room.

In the room, Aiden walked back and forth with occasional hair shuffling thinking of ways to have his secretary no longer Rania. Then suddenly Aiden flicked the finger of a sign that he had come up with a brilliant idea.

Soon Aiden snatched the phone on the nightstand to contact Abe.

"Abe, hire someone competent to be my secretary. From tomorrow he's gonna have to work in the office."

Tut's.

Without needing to hear an answer from Abe, the phone call had already been switched off by Aiden.

Then, the black-eyed man could breathe a little relieved and step towards the bathroom.

Next morning.

"Rania, you were called to Mr. Aiden's room" Abe said as Rania just passed the entrance of the Irawan Group building.

"What's wrong? Is it because I'm late for work?" Rania glanced at the clock that was coiled around her wrist.

Yes, he was late for ten minutes because he had to deliver his mother's order caterer.

Abe just shrugged his shoulders meaning he didn't even know.

Fidgeting at every step, Rania walked towards Aiden's room. Rania opens the door and finds Aiden in the room with a beautiful woman.

Rania must admit that the woman is very beautiful with long hair neatly coiled and blazer suit that is also no less neat.

Looking at the appearance of the woman made Rania reflexively glance at her own appearance. Where she only wears a plain white shirt and a crumpled, knee-length black skirt has yet to be ironed.

Not to mention the butut flatshoes that Rania wears really worsen her appearance. Different from shiny high heels attached to the legs of the woman's level.

"You're twelve minutes and thirty-two seconds late" said Aiden, who was sitting in his seat of greatness, looking at Rania as a threat.

"That means that since then, the boss is waiting for me?" Rania asked developed a wide smile and felt flattered that Aiden was watching her.

"I warn you if you're late again, you'll be fired!" snapped Aiden who then threw his back into the back of the chair.

"Good, Boss. I'll try to be on time. That was me…"

"I don't need a reason. Now, make me some coffee!"

"Good, Sir. I'll make you coffee."

It was not Rania who replied, but the beautiful woman who had been with Aiden since. Then the woman walked out of the room to make coffee as instructed.

Rania glanced at the back of the beautiful woman before finally disappearing behind the door. Then, furrowing her brows, Rania threw a glance at Aiden.

"Boss, who's that woman?"

"He's my secretary."

Rania's face was getting confused.

"If he's a secretary, then what am I?" Rania pointed to herself.

For a moment Aiden quietly raised a sharp gaze that collided with the eyes full of question marks from Rania.

"Does that mean I'm fired, boss?"

Aiden smiled thinly but meaningfully, and said, "Your position here is just a shadow secretary."
