Scavenger Becomes New Director
Searching for Happiness
we return to the Main Director's Room
James Mariski is still sitting in the chair of the greatness of the President Director of Mariski Group. His former face looked dignified and fresh looked extremely chaotic at this moment. He was thinking about the company's problems and irregularities that lately seemed to be starting to clear the scenario. But he did not want to be in too much of a hurry to take it a step further.
"Ah, I better call Steven to share this suspicion. Or is it better that I leave all this business to Steven" muttered James softly.
James picked up his HP and called Steven whose study room was not far from James's workspace. After a while fiddling with his HP he then called Steven.
" Hello Boss," said Steven across the street quickly.
" Hello Steven, get to my room. There are a few things I want to talk about, " said James.
" Well, sir!" steven quickly turned off his phone.
A few moments later, there was a knock on James's office door.
"Please come in" cried James Daei behind his desk.
Shortly afterwards Steven opened the door and entered in a hurry. The man approached James while looking at his boss's face with a panicked face and a frown.
Steven is James' personal assistant. He who arranges all the needs and arranges the meeting schedule both office hours and at home.
Steven is 30 years old. And James has considered her his real sister. Because outwardly James has no relatives anymore in this Indonesia. His surviving relatives are in Poland. Of course James felt very lonely when he was at home before he married Marsya again and brought Marsya's sister Maya and stepson Jelita to his home.
Steven is always on standby 24 hours if James needs his help whether it's office hours or off office hours. Because of his loyalty to James until now not married. When it comes to lovers, everyone never knows because Steven is so closed off. James never asked because James knew the limits of people's privacy.
Steven should be panicking because his master doesn't usually call him suddenly when he's in the office. The other is outside office hours. James always contacted Steven when something stuck in his heart either that's a problem
"There's something I want to talk to you about. But not here, because I want to find the wind while walking. You know my favorite place?" james said casually as he let out a faint smile. A smile that still holds good looks despite his age is four-headed.
" Good sir," Steven said as he nodded his head while replying to James with a faint smile.
But in Steven's heart still hidden questions because his master does not usually apply like this.
"Steven, I've wanted you to call me brother over and over again. You have been with me for 5 years and I have considered you my own sister" James said, tapping his index finger on the chest of his assistant, tidying up his desk and closing his laptop.
But his master's request was answered with a scroll from Steven while saying;
"no sir, even though you already consider me as your own brother but in this office you are still my boss" said Steven who was struck with a big smile James.
the two then tidied up the workspace of the Managing Director of Mariski Group and passed from the 20-story building after leaving all office affairs to his secretary Tania.

After exiting the office complex, the two drove fast in a private car Bugatti Chiron silver James' favorite car.
After a few minutes in the second car was silent and busy observing the streets with all the bustle of the metropolitan city. This city still seems busy because it is currently still showing at 4 pm. No one dared to open the conversation. Steven certainly did not dare to open the conversation first and preferred to wait for his master first. When their sports car stopped at a red light. As usual this place is James' favorite place because here he can share money with underage children who are scavenging for a fortune to eat a day by busking. James was happy when he saw their smile after receiving James's money. It was the best moment of his life.
James opened the conversation with Steven after their car drove back casually out of the red light. Steven knew James' favorite place was in a small park near a slum on the Ciliwung River. And now they're on their way to the park.
" Steven you know, I really hate people who are busy looking for wealth in an illegitimate way, whereas look at minors, they struggle to find the abuse to eat a day in a halal and noble way even though the result is only to eat a day even though sometimes not enough," James opened the conversation with eyes still looking far ahead of the road.
Steven who was driving a car could only nod his head a few times.
" What do you mean, sir? with the important business you said in the office earlier?" steven said straight to the point.
"It looks like you can't wait" James said with a chuckle.
" That first sentence was the subject of a problem I've been having lately" James continued.
"I'm still hesitant about the position of the finance department and the development part of the company. But I still have doubts about the person I choose. You know this because Marsya whined to choose her sister to be the head of the company's finance department." James was silent for a moment.
"I suspect this is a setting from my wife Marsya. But this is just my suspicion. And you know steven, until now I still dare not reject Marsya's wishes. Because if I lose him and Jelita I don't know what happened to my young age anymore" James said with a face that began to show sadness.
If it had been at times like this Steven was more silent and heard until his boss was finished conveying the unansweredness in his mind.
"I don't want to lose it a second time. What's more now that Marsya and I can't possibly produce any more offspring" James said with tears beginning to appear in the corner of James's eyes.
"Right now I'm lonely, I miss Jorge, Donita, Dad, Mom" continued James.
Steven had not seen the faces of the loved ones mentioned by his master. But he has known this story because for 5 years he worked with James, this story is always repeated by James.
Steven only knew that James loved his family very much with photos of them decorating the walls of James's workspace or James's masonry.
both of them were silent for a moment and silent, what was heard was the roar of the Bugatti Chiron machine breaking their silence.
