NOT A WEDDING DRAMA

CHAPTER 29

"Come, Ra." Bring Joni.

"But sir, I'm afraid." Said Clara.

"Come, Ra. Who knows if the boss will change his mind." Bring Joni again.

Clara will not stand up and follow Joni.

Ceklek.

Joni opens the door to Aldrich's room, Clara feels a gripping aura in the boss' room.

Clara just lowered her head as she walked, she stopped right behind Joni.

"Boss, your secretary is here." Joni said without mentioning Clara by name.

"This is the document you're looking for." Said Joni while putting the map that he had brought.

"What's your name?" Aldrich asked coldly as he opened the map Joni had given him without looking at Clara.

Instantly Clara sculpted because she felt familiar with the voice of her boss.

High curiosity makes Clara want to see a little more clearly the face of her boss who is slightly covered map.

"I..." Clara's murmur was heard by Joni and Aldrich.

Aldrich was no less surprised, he froze with both hands holding the map. Aldrich recognized the voice.

Clara walked slowly past Joni to get closer to see who the owner of this slow voice she was looking for, no matter if Clara was called presumptuous and then fired, he was very curious about the owner of the voice.

"Allen.." Call Clara lirih.

Aldrich placed his map and his eyes were fixed on Clara's beautiful face.

"R.. You, is this really you?" Aldrich asked and stood up from his chair.

They stared at each other for a long time, looking closely at the face until Clara was awakened.

"Sorry.. I seem too presumptuous." Said Clara holding a slightly trembling voice.

Aldrich also realized, if he is now with his original status, not being Aldi, his good friend Clara.

Aldrich stared intently at the assistant, Joni. While the one he stared at just looked down.

"Ra.." call Aldrich as he approaches Clara.

"Bec... Clara's.." Call Aldrich again.

Clara raised her face looking at Aldrich's face with a different appearance. Not a typical safari driver uniform that he wears but an expensive suit that covers his body.

"l.. How could you... And this..." Clara hung her words.

"Al, Mr. Joni is your employer, right? Why is Joni now your assistant?" Ask Clara.

"You're a CEO? Then why did it become a driver in Erlasha?" Ask Clara who can't stem her curiosity anymore.

"R.. We sit down, we talk first." Take Aldrich.

"Sorry Al, my work is not done yet and it's still in working hours." Clara said at last.

Aldrich grabbed Clara's wrist and sat her on the sofa.

"I..."

"I'll tell you everything, Ra." Aldrich.

Aldrich looked at his wrist, saw that the clock had entered the lunch hour. Then Aldrich looked at Joni. "Joni, tell my secretary to buy us lunch." Aldrich said to Joni.

"Sorry Boss, your secretary is now in front of you." Said Joni.

Aldrich breathed. "I mean Rissa, Jon."

"Sorry again, boss. Rissa has moved on to become a secretary team, big sir." Answer Joni.

"Then you buy it, Jon!!" Aldrich said upset because Joni slalu could answer it.

"Enough, Al. I came here because Joni said you were looking for me, and you were angry because of that document. Joni said you'd fire me, please fire me, I'd like to go home." Said Clara.

"Sorry boss, I'm out first." Joni hastily rushed out of Aldrich's room, he chose nenghindar but his heart seemed to laugh with satisfaction.

Aldrich sat down in front of Clara. "Bec.."

"Joni is not your master, and...." Clara kept quiet, "Huh, Al." Clara said as if she was lazy.

"I chased you to Erlasha, Ra." Aldrich said at the end. "I was fascinated by your kindness when we met in Bandung." Aldrich said again.

"I.." Call Clara, Clara's gaze hinted to ask for a more detailed explanation right now.

"I was wrong and fell by a woman, Ra. But when I met you, I forgot all those wounds. I love your sincerity that helped me pay for a cup of coffee, when at that time you didn't know me. I love your simplicity and being so comfortable with you but I'm afraid of falling a second time. That's why I disguised myself as a driver in Erlasha to get closer and get to know you more deeply. Until I finally knew your status, I decided to retreat slowly because I didn't want to go too deep."Aldrich in the end.

Clara fell silent trying to digest all Aldrich's words. Nothing harms him, it's just that Clara feels lost the figure of a friend, now after she knows the status of Aldrich that actually there is a sense of awkwardness that perched on her.

"Rba..." Call Aldrich again, because Clara just kept quiet.

Clara smiled faintly, she nodded. "We're not friends anymore, Al. Our relationship is limited to superiors and subordinates."

"No, Ra. We're still friends." Aldrich said quickly.

"Al, don't change anything, don't cross any boundaries. Right now we are only limited to superiors and subordinates. You're my boss, and I'm your secretary. At least until my contract ends." Clara stood up, she wanted to move her legs, but before that she spoke again. "I'm sorry if my job isn't perfect. If you want to replace me with someone else, I'll gladly accept it." Clara put her foot out.

Aldrich was still sitting and pulling his hair back. He did not expect to meet Clara under these circumstances and without any preparation.

Suddenly Aldrich remembered Joni, he immediately dialed Joni's mobile number to immediately come to his room.

Joni had prepared it, he had prepared the anger of his boss.

Joni walks past Clara's desk, "Clara." Call Joni.

"Why didn't you tell me, sir?" Ask Clara.

"Sorry, Clara." Only that word came out of Joni's mouth.

"May I resign from the company, sir?" Ask Clara expectantly.

"Sorry Clara, you're under contract." Answer Joni.

"Can't I be moved to another part?" Ask Clara again.

Joni just shut up, "Sorry I'm in first." Said Joni who had now become a little polite.

Clara sighed and sat back down, not knowing what she was worried about. It's just that his feelings are uncertain now.

In Aldrich's room.

"When did Clara work here?" Aldrich asked with a raining gaze.

"A month ago, sir." Answer Joni.

"Who brought him here?" Ask Aldrich again.

"Sorry sir, Miss Clara proposed to me by email. That's all I found." Answer Joni.

"Then why didn't you tell me, Jon?" Pissed Aldrich.

"Sorry Mister. I'm confused where to tell it from." Answer Joni again.

"Who put him to be my secretary?" Ask Aldrich again.

"I'm sir. But if you don't want to accept it, I'll move Miss Clara to become the secretary of marketing director only, Let Yuni be your secretary." Replied Joni who had prepared the answer was far away.

Aldrich massaged his temple. "You should have told me first, Jon."

"Sorry sir, I just don't want you to continue lying to Miss Clara, believe me if Miss Clara is any different from other women." Said Joni.

"But she's somebody's wife, Jon." Aldrich messaahh rough.

Joni withholds her laughter, according to Fariz's instructions, Joni must keep Clara's status a secret, in order to see the extent of Aldrich's sincerity.

"Indeed if Miss Clara is no longer the wife of people, the Boss still wants to pursue Miss Clara again?" Joni's question made Aldrich look back at him.

"Wrong again." Inner Joni.
