James's mother's dilemma

James felt a little tense hearing his mother's question. He tries to stay calm and respond intelligently. "Mother, all this time I was just trying to pay more attention to appearance and maintain personal hygiene. I think it's important to look neat and fragrant, especially in my job as a CEO. This is part of the professional image I want to convey to others."

James' mother still seemed hesitant, but James tried to convince her. "Mother than that, I also know that the last few months I have been more focused on work and important projects. I want to give a good impression to business associates and company employees. Maybe that's why my appearance looks more tidy and fragrant."

James hoped his explanation would be acceptable to his mother. She did not want to make her mother worry or suspect about the change in her appearance. James respected his mother and tried to remain honest in answering those questions.

James' mother was still not completely satisfied with the explanation, but she chose not to go further. He knows that his son is an adult who has the right to choose and care for himself. James' mother only wished James to maintain his health and happiness in every aspect of life, including appearance and personal hygiene.

James' mother, who was suspicious of the change in appearance of her son who was too tidy and fragrant in recent months, finally decided to ask James a question. He felt that something was different with his son and wanted to know the cause.

^^

With an open and honest attitude, James explained that his more tidy and fragrant appearance was caused by the presence of Maya in his life. She recounts that Maya was a personal assistant who was very helpful in her work, and her change in appearance was the result of their cooperation in carrying out daily tasks.

James explains that Maya is a highly competent and dedicated professional. He appreciates his contribution in maintaining the success of the business and making sure things run smoothly. James also asserted that their relationship was a professional one based on mutual understanding and good cooperation.

James' mother accepted the explanation with relief. Though initially suspicious, he understands that James's change in appearance has nothing to do with his affairs of romance. James' mother believed that her son was a serious professional at work and was trying to achieve success in his career.

“You sure, just limited to job relationship?” Investigate mother.

“Iyaaaaa.” James said he left his mother.

“Heim au where, this discussion is not finished.”

“I'm tired, tomorrow morning there is a board meeting at the office”

With no clarity provided by James, James' mother felt more suspicious and convinced that her son was not just focused on work and prioritizing business success. He secretly sends a message to Melan to receive this clarity.

^^

The next morning, the meeting room in the Trotoarts office was filled with the management team and several related departments. They gathered to discuss the long-awaited launch of a new product. James sat at the end of the table, while Maya sat next to him, ready to give a presentation related to the development of the product.

All eyes were on James as he began the meeting. It starts by discussing the project background, the company's vision, and how this new product will transform the industry. Maya meticulously conveys the technical details and innovations they have made in product development.

Discussions are intense, with the team providing input, questions, and suggestions to refine and strengthen the product concept. James, as a thoughtful CEO, listens carefully and gives his views on market potential, marketing strategies, and the competitive advantage they must highlight.

Maya confidently explains how the production process will be carried out, the expected launch schedule, and realistic sales targets. He also presents in-depth market analysis, providing data and statistics that support their decisions.

After hours of discussion, they finally came to an agreement on their next move. James appreciated the team for their hard work and expressed his hope that this product would be successful in the market.

The meeting ended in high spirits and confidence that their new product would be a breakthrough in the industry. The team left the room with a passion to continue their hard work in the face of product launch challenges.

At this time James's mother was sitting in Melan's comfortable room, sipping a cup of warm tea. The two of them engage in casual conversation, forging a bond as mother and foster child.

Smiling, James' mother asked Melan, "Melan, what do you think of Maya? I've seen him very close to James lately, according to the info I've received."

Melan replied politely, "Maya is an amazing figure, Mother. He is highly intelligent, dedicated, and has exceptional skills in his field. In addition, Maya also has high integrity and always gives the best in her work."

“You didn't answer my question”

“Ah that, I feel James is in love, his appearance now more fragrant and neat.”

James' mother nodded in satisfaction at Melan's response. "I guessed it. Is Maya indeed has a good reputation and its performance so far is very impressive. So James was interested in her?"

Melan added, "Maya also has a pleasant personality. He is always friendly, easy to get along with, and can work with the team well. A lot of people in the company appreciate his presence, if James is interested in him I don't know."

James' mother smiled with satisfaction. "I'm glad to hear that. The more I heard about Maya, the more convinced I was that she was the one who teased James."

“That's it, I don't understand, because Maya is here to replace me later, because I'm getting married. Several important meetings deliberately did not present me to prepare it, So far he seems fast to learn”

“I hope this is pure professionalism does not seep into feeling.”

Melan agreed. "I also hope like, Mom. But looking at his football, he deserves greater recognition and opportunity in his career. I will continue to support him and work well together."

James' mother thanked Melan for her hard work and dedication. He conveyed his pride and appreciation for the contribution Melan has made in managing the company.

Their conversation continues with other topics, but Maya's figure remains a conversation between them. Both believe that Maya has great potential and will be a successful future leader in the industry.

James' mother, who was sitting in Melan's study, floated her mind into the conversation and Maya continued to appear in talks about her potential and outstanding performance.

Without realizing it, James' mother begins to feel suspicious and wonders if James has any special feelings for Maya. She thought about her son's attitude that seemed more considerate and interested in Maya lately. Is it just a professional award or is there more to it?

James' mother pondered for a moment, considering the possible relationship between James and Maya. As a mother, she wants the best for her child, including romance. However, he also wants to make sure that things are going well within the company, without any conflicts of interest or personal issues affecting performance.

In a worried mind, James's mother tried to separate the feelings of mother and CEO in the face of this situation. He promised himself to stay objective and see the situation more clearly.

James' mother decided that the best thing she could do was to further observe the development of the relationship between James and Maya. He will look at James' actions and whether there are any signs of a special relationship between them. However, at the same time, he will also provide support to his son and provide appropriate direction if there are professional needs that need to be addressed. But if that woman is Maya what about Ivon?
