"Hey... I haven't seen you in the office in a few days, where have you been?"
Velina had just entered the office lobby when a woman had suddenly just walked by her side. I don't know where that woman came from.
"Ah... That-" Velina seemed misbehaved as she had yet to prepare her answer. "I'm not feeling well, so I don't let in."
"What's? You sick?" Karina instead looked panicked and immediately checked Velina's face. He lifted Velina's face with both hands and watched her closely, "really, your face looks a little pale, my gosh."
"Here, it's okay,"Velina tried to get Karina's hand off her face, "i'm fine already."
"Enak once the new secretary, just started work but can take a break at will."
"Yes, we who have been working for a long time are not necessarily able to get leave."
"Is it possible that he's flirting with the President?"
"Where might the President be interested in such a woman? How a fucking village."
"True, then why can he skip work when the new kid?"
"Yes... Biasalah, selling sad stories. Our president is good today and not brave, so maybe he took advantage of that."
"What does he reason for, huh?"
"Maybe he reasoned that some members of his family were sick or dead. Cih ... Classical reason."
"Totally so."
While crossing a toilet, Velina and Karina accidentally overhear the conversation of another employee who was talking about it.
"What the fuck are they?" Karina seemed to want to go inside and take care, but Velina immediately pulled her arm.
"That's it, let it go."
"But they're talking about you" protested Karina.
"Oh, it's okay. Why do we talk about unimportant people. They'll be bored by themselves for a long time, too." Velina said with a smile.
Karina finally nodded resignedly, "alright then, they are not necessarily better than you either."
"Well, that knows." The two also chuckled together.
They were about to part ways in front of the elevator, "oh yes, later in the afternoon do not forget to eat together again, huh? We're the stories." Karina.
"OK," replied Velina. The woman waved her hand at Karina who turned into a corridor towards her devotional room.
While he was still standing in front of the elevator door waiting for the door to open. Velina queues at the employee section elevator. Next to it is an executive elevator. He accidentally turned his head to the side and found Diego and Juan there.
Velina instantly looked away and stood among the other employees to hide. But too late, Juan had already seen it.
"Hey... You, orange. Come here!" Juan.
The employees lining up in front of the employee elevator immediately turned to her, except for Velina who was still busy hiding her face behind her bag.
"Hey... You, the one with the orange shirt." Juan again. Now all eyes turn to one woman wearing an orange dress.
Velina closed her eyes for a moment, "what the hell is this man," she murmured softly. He realized Juan was calling himself, because only he was wearing orange here.
Because of that, Diego also paid attention.
"You called me, sir?" Velina tried to review the smile as normally as possible.
"You remember the first rule in this office right? You should have come ten minutes early," Juan paused his sentence and glanced at his watch, "now you're five minutes late."
"Sorry, sir." Velina bit her lower lip. He felt ashamed that all eyes were staring at him.
"Good, sir. Thanks for your attention."
Meanwhile Diego just silently watched, without wanting to defend Velina in the slightest. The employees were heard in a jumble after Juan and Diego entered the executive elevator.
Velina let out a sigh of relief. The elevator door of the employee section opened, and he entered with the others.
"Basic, shameless, I'm sure he justified any means to enter this position. I'm not sure she's a secretary in an honest way" a woman appears to be tucking in the elevator.
"You mean what is Merry? Never mind, don't make a rumor." A male employee tried to warn.
"What else try, maybe he pawned himself, could have?" Said a woman named Mery.
At first Velina was still trying to hold back, but this time she couldn't seem to let the woman say more and more things to her.
"What do you mean say that? Do you have any evidence?" Sergey Velina.
Merry was a little surprised, and then raised one of her lips to a cynical smile. "
"Proof what you said? This what?" He raised the hand of Velina wearing a branded watch, it was Diego's gift. He forgot to take it off this morning in a hurry.
Velina paused for a moment, "what does this have to do with the clock?" Velina challenged.
"I see you just entered work, already wearing branded clothes and accessories, from toe to head. Maybe the others don't know, but I do. As a secretary, it's impossible to buy such things, let alone you just started work, isn't that suspicious?" The cynic.
Velina's chest felt like she was in the dark hearing the woman's annoying words. But it's also his fault for being so careless about wearing the expensive things Diego gave him. At first he just wanted to try it."
"Haha... You're mistaken, this is all imitation." The only way for them not to be suspicious, Velina was forced to pretend to be stupid.
"Everything I wear is fake, and some borrow friends. Besides, how could the President and the Vice President be interested in a woman like me, right?" Velina deliberately used white glasses and thin makeup to impress cute.
Merry and the others instantly fell silent. "Do you also want to order imitation items like this? I have an acquaintance-"
"No need," cut the cynical Merry. He was seen keki for failing to incite the others to hate Velina as well.
"Next time think clearly. Don't accuse anyone, okay!" Velina tried to warn Merry before she finally got out of the elevator. The woman stared in disbelief at him and was about to come out following Velina, but the other fellow hunted down to hold her back.
Velina sat at her desk feeling uninspired. Just a few days of work, so many people don't like it. This is all because Juan deliberately provoked their attention.
"What the fuck is that guy calling me an orange!" Grunt annoyed.
"Hey... You why?"
Velina was unaware that Juan was already standing right by her side. His face was instantly pale, was it possible for this man to hear his curse earlier.
"It's okay," said Velina nervously.
"I've seen your face frown since, what's the matter?"
Velina sighed and looked at Juan irritatedly, "this is all because of you. Why are you drawing their attention, and making them suspicious of me."
"Oh... So because of that?"
"You think this is trivial? You think it's good to be gossiped about, and hated for no reason? They all seem to underestimate my performance." Velina Protest.
"Then, it's time for you to show your skills, dong. Not angry like this?"
Velina's eyebrows intertwined, "what do you mean?"
"They underestimated your performance, right? Think this secretaryship is a gift, not a result of your own efforts? So then... You have to prove to them that your performance is good, and you deserve to be in the position of secretary to the president, not even upset and angry like this."
Velina was silent for a moment. It seems like what Juan said has a point, too.
Seriate.
