Mystery of Raven's Love Breaker
Claire Starts to Enter the Company
Chapters 2.
“Welcome to the Company, Miss Harrington. We Await You, Love You, and Please Hint.”
Thus the large banner that was deliberately hung near the entrance of the hotel, to welcome the arrival of Claire Harrington, the only daughter of the late Derby Harrington, the owner of the five-star hotel, ‘Harrington’.
A faint smile rose from Claire's beautiful lips as she made her way to the entrance of her family's hotel, after which a black Mercedez took her from home, with Raven.
Two rows of hotel employees dressed in uniform, bowing their heads saluted Claire who stepped her feet in a smooth and dignified manner.
Claire looked left and right, threw a smile, and opened her thin sunglasses as soon as her feet reached inside the hotel.
“Please Miss...” a female hotel employee who seems to have a fairly high position in the hotel, because it looks from her uniform that is somewhat different from other employees, because it looks like she has a different job, leading Claire's footsteps to be taken somewhere.
Claire nodded her head gracefully. Raven continued to be by his side. Finally the woman led them to a special room that had been provided for Claire.
“Thank you,” once again Claire nodded her head.
“Oh yes, this is Miss Caroline, Manager here,” said Raven introducing the woman to Claire.
“Iya...,” Claire glanced for a moment at the woman in her 30s. Pretty neat, polite, and quite authoritative, he thought.
“Nona Caroline is in charge of everything that applies here. And now, he will be directly responsible to you,” explained Raven again.
“Yes, you can go now,” Claire said to the manager. “I'll call you back later.”
“Thank you, miss, please hint,” Caroline bent her body towards Claire and Raven, then took three steps back and turned her body, out of the room.
Now Claire walks towards her big desk. Same with the size of the room that is big. A soft sofa neatly arranged on a red carpet that lay on a blue velvet. A large closet with bookshelves containing dozens of neatly arranged books. Computers, laptops, and a set of work equipment on the table.Soft chairs with high backrest paired with the table earlier. And a wide-screen TV was plastered in the corner of the room.
“Where is your room, Raven?” claire asked as she occupied her soft seat, and turned it left and right.
“I..., actually I want to ask you for permission to use the room of your former father, Claire. Because I think it's a pity if it's just left empty. Even an empty house if left unchecked, sometimes it will become damaged, right?”
“Yes, it's up to you, Raven. Just do what you think is good,” Claire said.
Raven nodded her head, as a sign of gratitude.
“So, what should I do today, Raven?” ask Claire further.
“Later Miss Caroline will bring you the report files about our company. You can read and learn it. If there's something you don't understand, you can ask him directly.”
“Ask him directly?” Claire scrunched her forehead. “Why should I ask him? Does it have to be next?” ask Claire.
“Iya,” answered Raven short.
“But you said, you will guide me directly?” claire protest.
“Oh, I mean, I'm not necessarily in the company every day, so if you suddenly want to ask something, of course you have to ask people who are near you.”
“Akh! Repot once!” muttered Claire. “How about I don't have to study all those reports, but you just explained it to me.”
It was Raven's turn to frown. He said he wanted to work, but you Big Miss, he wanted to find an easy way. Where do you want to drain the mind?
“Alright...,” Raven agreed with weight.
“Well, so would it be better!” Claire smiled happily.
Raven picked up the phone handle on Claire's desk, then stomped on a number, Caroline's room. After the phone was connected, Raven said, “Caroline, bring now all the necessary reports for Miss Claire!”
“Yes, Mr. Raven,” answered Caroline from her study across the street.
Shortly after, Caroline showed up. His hand carried a stack of report files arranged in several large maps, including,
Caroline put it on Claire's desk, then said, “This is a report on the history of this company, its development from the past to the present, the various branches scattered and under the auspices of the company, financial statements of the past ten years, company systems, short and long term plans, projects that have been and are being undertaken by the company, and so on.”
“Wah, so much!” claire responded to Caroline's explanation.
Caroline bowed her body a little. “If Miss pleases, I am willing to explain to Miss one by one,” she said slowly.
“Ah, no need, trouble you only! Are there any data here about the employees of this hotel?” claire asked, flipping through some maps.
“Oh..., what is Miss need?” caroline asked as if she was conscious.
“Iya dong!” answer Claire. “You told me to read all these reports, but after I had a hard time reading them, I still don't know about the people who work at my company?” sindir Claire direct.
“It's not so, Miss. I mean, I don't think it matters to Miss.”
“Of course it matters!” ketus Claire while closing the map she read.
Caroline glanced at Raven for a moment who was standing beside her. Raven nodded slightly, as a gesture for Caroline to do what Claire said. Once again Caroline bowed towards Claire politely. “Will I get you,” he said then left the room.
After Caroline died, Raven said, “You don't actually have to deal directly with the employees at this hotel, Claire. Because it is the duty of Caroline to supervise them all and take full responsibility for all things and actions that his men do. If there is anything that is not pleasing in your heart, you just say it to Caroline, later she will act.”
“Hah? How important is his position in my company?” ask Claire sharply.
Raven lowered her head slightly, “Iya!”
“So, how long has he been working here?” ask Claire again.
“As I recall, when I first entered the company, he was already here. Your father said Caroline was reliable, because of her firm, authoritative, diligent, and loyal nature to the company.”
“Ooh..., so I do..” hiss Claire while having a beard. “So, what are your activities today, Raven?” suddenly tanyanya.
“I thought, today I will go to review directly the project of building our new hotel in the North. Then I had a meeting with my client. After that I...”.
“Oops! Oops!” Claire immediately cut off Raven's words while shaking her hand as a sign not to continue.
“If it continues, there will be no end, right?” ask it like guessing. Raven took a deep breath.
“But…"
“Do not argue with my words!” concluded Claire. “Cancel all your plans!”
Raven pursed her lips. He knew Claire's nature from childhood. Because too spoiled by his father, then he should not be denied by anyone.
Patiently, Raven raised the phone on Claire's desk and pressed a number. After connecting, he said, “Rachel, cancel all my work agenda today! I don't want to be disturbed!”
“Iya, Mr...” replied the voice of the woman across there.
“Rachel…? Who's that?” claire asked, frowning.
“It was my secretary,” replied Raven.
“Ooh..., so yes,” Claire leaned her back against the chair and looked like thinking.
Shortly after, Caroline entered with a large map containing the data of the hotel employees.
“This is all you need, Miss,” Caroline said as she placed the map onto Claire's desk.
“Iya,” sahut Claire short.
Feeling no longer needed, Caroline decided to leave.
Claire did not open the map, instead she stared fixedly at Raven. “Today you must accompany me to review directly every corner of our hotel. You're the one who has to introduce every place and means available, also those who work here, one by one I want to know.”
“If that's what you want, I'm willing,” Raven nodded.
Claire smiled again. He got up from his chair and walked around, approaching Raven who was standing in front of his desk. Gracefully raising her wrist slightly, and as a real man, Raven welcomed Claire's wrist, holding her gently, as if holding the hand of a very delicate Princess who should not be hurt by the slightest scratch.
Raven and Claire walked out of the room. Some hotel staff happened to pass by and cross paths with them. Politely the officers saluted.
Raven took Claire for a walk around all corners of the hotel. At Claire's request too, sometimes certain rooms were entered by her. Even Caroline's room did not escape her observation earlier.
“This, who's inside?” claire asked as their steps came to the door of a large room.
“This is my room,” Raven said as if she didn't want Claire to come inside.
“I want to enter.”
“No need, Claire! Are you suspicious of me too? Didn't you see Caroline's face earlier when we reviewed her study? And your act of flipping through the files on her desk, makes her feel like you suspect her.”
“What do I suspect?” ask Claire wonder. “Is there anything to suspect? If you don't do anything wrong, do you have to be afraid?”
“Your actions are childish, Claire! Your father has never done this before. You may be considered to be interfering with their privacy.”
“If you object to my actions, he may ask to come out!” murmur Claire.
“It's not that easy, Claire. Caroline is a very good and loyal manager, it's hard to find someone like her. Your father just really appreciated it.”
Claire threw away her face. Just as they were about to leave, the door of Raven's room suddenly opened and a beautiful woman came out from there.
Suspectingly Claire looked at the woman who looked wrongly looked at by Claire.
“Good day, Miss Claire,” greet the newly-exited woman. He bows the body. “I'm Rachel, her secretary Mr. Raven.”
“Ooh...., so your name is Rachel?” Claire repeated while frowning.
“Iya, Miss. Excuse me..” Rachel passed between them.
After Rachel left, Claire asked, “Why at home have you never told me, Raven?”
“News? What story?” Raven asked back.
“News that you have a beautiful, young, sexy secretary.”
“Ah, does it matter to you?” ask Raven to feel funny.
“Of course it matters!” said Claire.
“Sometimes, what men consider an unimportant thing to tell, but the opposite to women, is a very important thing to know.”
“You women, it's always difficult to understand and have excessive suspicion,” Raven said with a snort.
“If the men can be trusted, of course the women no longer need any suspicion!” bela Claire's.
“Already, Big Miss. Where are you going now?” ask Raven. “I've been tired of accompanying you since. All corners of this hotel have been explored. All the officers you want to know I've introduced. Even their workspaces are already possessed. Just one that hasn't, the men's toilet. Do we need to go there now?” Raven said with a smile.
“You are...!” Claire punches Raven in the stomach laughing. “I want lunch. It feels like my stomach is hungry once.”
“If that's what you want, it's easy. We'll just go to the hotel's restaurant. All the food you want, you can get there.”
“Ah, so no exclamation dong Raven,” reject Claire. I eat at my own restaurant. How about you take me around here and taste the most delicious cuisine you think. I want to know too?”
“Alright, I'll take you there,” said Raven short.
Raven took Claire out of the hotel. The black Mercedez they were riding in, was waiting in the parking lot of the building. Raven mentioned the name of a place to the driver, then the car drove to the desired place.
In the car, Claire sits next to Raven in the back seat. He leaned his head on the shoulder of the man's field. His hand grabbed Raven's hand in his grasp. He held her tightly, as if afraid that the man would leave her side.
Raven is indeed the image of men wanted by the wantia. Tall-bodied strapping with the shoulders of the field like a sports athlete. Handsome and cool-faced with a neatly combed fine haircut, and a little choppy underneath. His eyes were cold and described the determination of a man's heart. Hence if it gazed directly into his eyes, the hearts of many women would instantly melt, like ice….
No wonder Claire was so proud to be next to Raven. Since childhood they have always been together. It's only been the past few years that Raven has been so busy with her work, so Claire has lost time with her. Now, they work in the same place, and also live in the same house. So Claire's chance to stay with Raven will be wide open.
