MY LOVE ENDS WITH YOU

MEETING WITH CEO 1

NARITA POV

 

I've been working on an internship for two weeks. There I got a lot of friends, relationships, acquaintances, and a very pleasant atmosphere. At first they did keep a little distance from me, but because I kept approaching them and seemed to behave that my appearance was not a barrier for me to be close to others, they finally began to welcome.

Mr. Adam has given me some kind of project for me to analyze. When working on projects related to other parts, we will discuss with other parts as well. Looks like this kind of work is indeed ‘aku really’, I really enjoy it.

The more projects I analyze, the more knowledge and things I can get and ideas I contribute. Because my work concerns many parties so I know quite a lot of people in this company.

“Na, have you prepared the last analysis?” suddenly Mr. Adam approached my cubicle.

“Already, Sir. I just sent you an email. Can you check, lack of apa” I replied.

“OK I check first. Don't forget, later you are the one who presented your analyst in front of the CEO ya!”

“CEO? Will the meeting be held at noon 2 will be attended by the CEO, Sir?” my question, however, is that I feel nervous about meeting the highest ranking person in this company.

“Iya. You know, you just found out? I told my secretary to inform you” and then somehow Mr. Adam looked at me from top to bottom and up again.

“I don't have to worry about your looks. The CEO was someone who hated open looks a lot, he liked the graceful woman who wore a skirt politely. So if there is a presentation wearing sexy clothes, it is certain before starting it has been directly told out of the meeting”

“Owh yes?” I can't believe what Mr. Adam said. Is it so hard for their CEO?

“Iya. Believe in her in front of her. This may be the first time you've met the CEO, but as long as we're confident, don't dispute his orders much, he won't snap at” much

“Searogan is our CEO?”

“Ssssttttt...be careful if you want to comment about him. He has many informants, if you hear in his ear you say it, there is no mercy for you Na!” Mr. Adam put his index finger in front of his lips, I nodded again and hoped that no one would hear my last words.

 

-- Meeting room ---

15 Minutes before the meeting started, me and some of the staff had prepared in the meeting room. Here is used to on time, so the preparation must have been ready a few minutes before the meeting began. I've handed the data over to the staff and I've checked that it looks okay. All ipad screens in the meeting room are also confirmed to be connected to a large screen, so for participants who can not see clearly on the front screen can see from the ipad screen available at each table.

This meeting involves many divisions, so the room uses a medium-sized hall with a maximum capacity of 60 people. I have prepared myself as best as possible hopefully later there will be no groggy drama or so on.

Some of the meeting participants have arrived. I chose to go to the toilet before the event actually started. I brought cosmetic pouch. 

I stared at the large mirror which clearly and brightly exposed my face with faded makeup. After the Dhuhur prayer I had not had time to fix my makeup. I took the powder out of my pouch. I don't like thick makeup so I just fix the powder to get it back to its color. Then after that I took out a blush. I brush thin-thin blush on to both of my cheeks, well my goal is just to give a fresh impression. After that, continue with lipstick. I do use semi-matte lipstick, so if it has been used to eat, some will definitely fade. I removed everything I had just re-polished it with a new color.

I looked back at my face. That's all I usually wear. For eyebrows and mascara I just use it in the morning, if the afternoon does not need to touch up. Thin, simple makeup, but fresh, I thought I was done, I put the powder, lipstick and blush back into the pouch. I'll fix my hijab order for it to be neater.

After enough, I was getting ready to get out of the toilet. As I held the door handle and pulled it inside, suddenly someone pushed it from the outside.

“Ups, sorry” said.

“It's okay” I still lowered my face but for a moment I thought, it looks like I'm familiar with that voice. Immediately I raised my face and we were both shocked. 

“You?” say us at the same time.

“What are you doing here?” ask her who is none other than Jess.

“What? So the company you interned at is here?” ask again and I answer with a nod of the head.

I raised my left hand and glanced at the watch that was coiling there.

“Sorry I first” she still looks at me in wonder, and I leave even though I haven't answered her question. I don't think I'm late just for chatting in the toilet.

“Narita” I just came out of the ladies' room, suddenly someone yelled calling me. Again, I was very familiar with that voice. I immediately looked at the source of the voice. My eyes were round seeing Davis there.

I thought Davis and Jess could be here? Don't-don't this company----.

“Do you intern here?” he asked after he was beside me, and I answered with a nod of my head.

“You're in this meeting too?”

“Iya” I replied short because I prefer to move my legs quickly. 

“You're in a hurry once?”

“Yes, sorry I went first!”

“Wait me, Na!” Davis went back to chasing my steps. We both entered the meeting room that was already boisterous because there were many meeting participants who had come.

I put my foot on the table that said my name. Suddenly Davis sat beside me. As fast as lightning he told someone to move the nameplate that was on the table to the table he was before whereas he immediately put his own signboard in front of him. He smiled because I noticed his movements. 

“You screwed up position, sir!” 

“Do not call, sir. Call my name just”

“But it's not polite. Even though you are younger but it seems like your post here is pretty decent!” without him telling me, I knew that he must be one of the higher-ups here. In Indonesia only the position of Director.

“I'm a nobody, Na. Oh yeah, I don't like you to be offensive to age. Call me Davis!” tumben he pitched seriously this time, I finally chose to give up and obey him.

“You're here in what Division?”

Davis was so busy looking for someone that he didn't seem to hear my question.

“Jess also works here?” ask again.

“Iya. He said he was in a meeting. Where is he?” Davis began to look back and forth to find Jess.

“So I met you on the toilet, probably still there!” I said, then he looked at me and smiled.

Suddenly people were flocking to occupy their seats. Adam sat on my left side and Davis on my right.

The sound of the host using speakers informs that the CEO is entering the room immediately. Everyone in the meeting room is expected to stand.

All seemed to be organized and obedient to instructions. Although there were many people in this room, it felt lonely. The floor is covered with carpet so that the sound of footsteps will not be heard. They were told to stand up, to stand up without making a sound.

How surprised I was to see who entered the meeting room.
