My Wild Rose's
MEETING WITH THE GLORIOUS OCEAN
"Sorry to worry you, Al," Ornado smiled at Cladia's words just now, it felt like the more day Ornado saw Cladia's personality change back like the little Cladia she knew back then, who was always beside her, accompany her days and the little girl who always pulls her arms tightly to play and laugh together, even so faithfully comforted and accompanied her in her difficult times.
Ornado recalled the difficult times when her mother was sick and her condition was declining more and more, with the body that could only lie in a hospital bed, with consciousness becoming less and less. During her mother's hospital stay for more than two months, at the request of Ornado's mother who remained unwilling to leave Indonesia until her last moment, while Ornado stayed at Cladia's parents' house. Before leaving and after school Ornado would faithfully sit by his mother's hospital bed, and little Cladia would always come with him.
During those times Ornado and Cladia faithfully accompanied Ornado's frail mama, both Ornado and Cladia would take turns telling stories and having Ornado's mama chat and joke, spending time together. Mama Ornado's thin hands, only bones wrapped in skin, often stroked Cladia's cheeks and hair gently, sometimes accompanied by tears dripping on her cheeks. If it wasn't for her pain she wouldn't have lost the baby girl who was supposed to be Ornado's sister.
Because of his heart abnormalities and lung cancer that increasingly gnawed at him he could not maintain the existence of his baby daughter who was then 6 months old in the womb. Cladia's whereabouts always remind her of her baby daughter whom she can't keep. While pregnant Ornado health condition was not as bad as at that time so he could still maintain Ornado, but during the pregnancy of his second child, his body was no longer able to maintain the pregnancy.
In front of his mother Ornado always smiled, tried to be a strong child, never showed his sadness to keep his mother entertained, hoping it could strengthen and help reduce the pain felt by his mother. But often outside the door of a small Ornado hospital room weeps, feeling the sadness and fear of losing her mother. And every time she cried little Cladia who always followed wherever she went would thrust her handkerchief to wipe Ornado's tears. Even on the day her mother died, the first person to approach her sitting on the floor with her head lowered on her knees crying in the corner of the hospital room was Cladia. Just then, the little girl bent her small body and tightly hugged Ornado's body, letting her tears wet the clothes little Cladia was wearing.
"Al, are you still there?" Ornado gasped a little, waking up from his daydreams that recalled his childhood with Cladia.
"No need to apologize, but you almost made me run to the airport and leave my meeting tomorrow." Cladia hears a small laugh from Ornado signifying that at this moment her worries are gone, indicating she is truly relieved.
"How was your lunch? It must be noon. I was waiting for Jeremy," Cladia glanced at the watch in her hand hearing a question from Ornado, it's almost 2pm, in Italy it's probably still around 8am, but here at 2pm it was a little late to say lunch, and he completely forgot that he had not had lunch.
"I'll have lunch soon, enjoy your day there, may all your business be good today" Ornado smiled at Cladia's words.
"Back to work pay more attention to your break. Even though Niela was there I hope that you don't sleep too late for gossiping too much with Niela," Cladia laughed a little at Ornado's words.
"I'm not the type to gossip like you and your confidants" Ornado laughed at Cladia's words, let alone that she knew clearly what Cladia meant was James. It seems that Cladia still remembers her departure to Italy before James in detail always reported all Cladia's activities to Ornado.
"Jeremy has come to my office, we will solve the venue's problem today. Thank you for your prayers, tonight I will call you again, take care of yourself amore mio, ti amo" Ornado closed his phone.
Cladia had just tidied up the files that Amalia had put on her desk this morning in preparation for a meeting with the Lautan Gemilang Company, when she heard a knock from the door of her room.
"Come in," As soon as the door was opened, Amalia's smiling face immediately walked over to Cladia's desk.
"Bu Cladia, the representative of the Glorious Ocean Company has arrived,"
"Ok, give me 5 minutes to get ready, please let our guests enter the meeting room, take all these files to the meeting room," Cladia picked up a pile of files on her desk, and she took it, hand it over to Amalia who immediately accepts it.
"Okay, ma'am," Amalia immediately turned her back and walked out of Cladia's office.
Cladia was stunned for a moment, recalling Jeremy's phone last night, informing her that the representative of the Glorious Sea would come to the office today discussing the cooperation contract. Lautan Gemilang is a pearl producing company that is currently on the rise because the quality of pearls they produce is above the average of other companies. The company controls pearl mining from Lampung to Papua which is known as the best pearl producing area in the world. Today many jewelry companies are scrambling to cooperate with the Lautan Gemilang Company to increase the added value of their jewelry.
Jeremy had been busy attending a meeting with Lautan Gemilang for a month and unexpectedly agreed to cooperate with Sanjaya, though during this time Lautan Gemilang only cooperate with jewelry companies from abroad, especially Europe. And today is the last day of the meeting before the official contract is ratified next week by both parties. Since Jeremy was going to Italy with Ornado of course today Cladia had to represent him.
Cladia got up from her seat, tidied up the dark purple blazer she was wearing and walked out towards the meeting room. As Cladia approached the door of the meeting room Amalia was waiting for her, and immediately opened the door of the meeting room as Cladia approached. Cladia immediately walked towards the front of the room and in honor of the hosts of the three men who were her guests from the Glorious Sea party immediately got up to their feet as soon as she saw Cladia enter the room.
"Please sit down," Cladia tried to act as reasonably as possible by allowing them to sit down and she herself slightly pulled up her chair to sit down, then looked towards her three guests again. Amalia as her secretary took a seat near Cladia, facing her three guests.
It is fitting that today Amalia looks very cheerful, it turns out that because today's meeting was attended by someone she secretly liked, she said, Cladia said in her heart as she glanced at Amalia who was clearly a little stealing glances towards Robi whose eyes did not want to be separated from the figure of Cladia.
"Good morning, Ms. Cladia, it's a pleasure to have today's last meeting before we sign our contract next week," A young man represented the side of the Glorious Sea to return a greeting from Cladia just now.
"Our meeting today as well as to provide information to Sanjaya, in the future after the signing of the cooperation contract, for, Mr. Robi Adhitama as the new CEO of Lautan Gemilang who will be directly responsible for everything related to Lautan Gemilang because I myself will be more focused on handling the Ocean Treasure Group," Cladia was a little surprised by the notification just delivered by Agam Adhitama who had been known as the CEO of the Glorious Sea, not the Treasure of the Ocean.
I just realized that the last names of Kak Robi and Pak Agam were both Adhitama. They must have a sister relationship. It is worth it with ease Kak Robi gave up her job at the Bumi Asia office. Cladia said in her heart while still paying attention to what Agam Adhitama said.
"Well, we will discuss the important points for our cooperation contract that we will sign next week. Today I as a representative of Sanjaya's party got full power to represent Mr. Jeremy Sanjaya who is now unable to attend the meeting today because he has to go to Italy," Cladia explained her current position in the meeting.
"No problem, Mr. Jeremy himself has provided information to our side for the problem, we hope that the cooperation of Sanjaya and Bumi Asia can run smoothly, so that we from the supplier can also feel the benefits of increasing sales of pearl-based jewelry works from Sanjaya," Agam Adhitama replied to Cladia, saying, amazed to see the figure of Cladia Sanjaya who had heard from several colleagues who had met this woman. The woman who was young but had business ability that was no less than Jeremy, was truly a great pair of sisters. Too bad the beautiful woman already has, otherwise it feels Agam also does not mind to race with others to approach her.
The more your charm and beauty day the more I can't stop thinking about you, if only now you haven't married Ornado, soon I'll definitely ask you to marry me, Robi whispered softly in her heart as her eyes unblinkingly enjoyed Cladia's face. Cladia herself is not unable to feel the view of Robi who does not want to be separated from him, deliberately Cladia trying not to look at Robi. It was really an atmosphere that made Cladia uncomfortable, fortunately next week's meeting Jeremy himself handled it, so he did not need to meet with Robi again.
"Hahh, it's finally over, too" Cladia slightly slammed her back on the backrest of the meeting chair she was sitting on, Amalia who was in a standing position while tidying up the files on the meeting table smiled at the actions of her boss just now.
"Today's meeting was quite tiring for Ms. Cladia, but fortunately everything went well, just waiting for the contract to be signed next week," Cladia glanced at Amalia whose face looked delighted.
"I was quite surprised Mom, it turns out that Mr. Robi is the sister of Mr. Agam, I had got information that it turns out that Lautan Gemilang is a subsidiary of the Ocean Treasure Group, and the, and the owner of the Ocean Treasure Group has 3 boys as his heirs, one of whom is Mr. Robi. He was the youngest son of the Ocean Treasure Group's owner." Cladia smiled, looking for Amalia's interest in Robi until she looked for details about the man.
"Amalia...., may I ask you something a little personal?" Cladia moved her body forward, her eyes looking towards Amalia who instantly stopped the movement of her hand and returned Cladia's gaze.
"Mother Cladia wants to ask what?"
"Have you ever dated?" Amalia slightly gasped in shock at the question from Cladia, but slowly she nodded her head slowly.
"But it's broken up Mom, the name's monkey love, I've loved upperclassmen since elementary school, we were dating in high school, but once I was in college we broke up" Cladia furrowed her eyebrows.
"The reason why did it break?" Amalia chuckles to see her boss so excited to hear about her love story.
"Mom's habit, we finally realized we were only limited to loving each other as brother and sister. With age people will know the difference what is love and affection, now he is married to his college friend first," Cladia nods her head, Amalia age 3 years older he is above him, and, but because of his position as Amalia's boss, he had to call her Mother.
Cladia observes Amalia, as long as her assistant the smart and deft girl works quite well, the girl looks cute with her long hair always tied up. Cladia imagines that the girl in front of her is juxtaposed with Robi seems to be quite suitable, but finally Cladia can only smile, she herself does not really understand what love is, how could he be fooling others.
