Secretly Loving You's

Ch 15 - Just Two?!

"Arsha, do you have a problem with me?"

Too surprised to see the sight before my eyes, I could only be silent with my eyes widened. I try to avoid it all day as if there is no result. I didn't expect Mr. Armand to face me in front of the toilet like this.

"Arsha?"

I swallowed with difficulty. It's hard to just answer the question. I want to run. But there is nowhere to hide. The man in front of me was too domineering. I'm like a cat caught stealing food.

Amidst the gripping silence, there were suddenly two employees coming. They seem to want to use the toilet. They looked at us with wondering eyes. From his gaze, it looked a very real mess.

Being seen like that makes Mr. Armand uncomfortable. I see this as an opportunity. My feet have taken a swing, ready to disappear again. But that intention had not been fulfilled as soon as I heard his words.

"To my room." Final words I can't dispute.

"Why have you been avoiding me all day? Is there a problem with me?"

"T-no Sir. Who said I was avoiding you? I-it's just the feeling of the Father ...." Duh, die. Is my attitude too visible?

"Just my feelings?" Mr. Armand nodded his head while tapping his fingers on the table.

"I told you to take the file, why did you even tell Siti? Don't you have hands and feet?"

DEG

"I also told you to lick the report and give it to me. Why did you send them via email? Is my order still unclear? Don't you think of me as a superior?"

I'm out of words. My body vibrates. Holding back the crying that will break. Mr. Armand never scolded me like this. Despite the many mistakes I have made, he has never used hurtful words.

"Please be professional. This is a company, not a game. If there's a problem, don't take it to the office."

"Or, do you have a problem with me? Doesn't fit in with my way of working? Want to move divisions?" Mr. Armand's tone of voice was not high. They tend to be low and cold. But somehow, the effect was so pronounced. Makes me shiver more and more in fear.

I can only bow. Unable to answer his question. Drop by drop tears began to wet the hands.

I avoid not because it does not fit with the Father, or want to move divisions. I'm shy. I have no face to meet my father. I unhappily wish I had a kiss from you. I was afraid that you would look at me as a lowly woman.

I am also ashamed of this growing feeling. I feel like a woman does not know herself. I must straighten my feelings in order to face my Father with a calm heart. For that, I avoid Mr ....

"Arsha, answer me. Do you want to move divisions?" Low voice, but very deep. Like a very calm water. Make a whistle to anyone who hears.

"T-no Sir ...."

"Why? Aren't you suitable to work with me?"

"Bu-not like that sir ... S-I'm happy to work with you. I am happy to be in his division, Father. I ...."

"Then start packing. Saturday tomorrow, we will OJT (On The Job Training) in Bogor for a week. I called you to say that. You can come out now. I still have work to do."

"Y-yes?" I looked at Mr. Armand in confusion, hoping for more explanation. But he had struggled with the file in hand, ignoring me. I don't want to drag my feet out of the room.

Ten minutes after I got back to the table, there was an email coming in. It turned out that the email contained an invitation to follow the OJT. In the email explained run down the event in detail. From morning to night for seven consecutive days.

The purpose of the OJT is the launch of the latest credit system, inventory system upgrades, understanding of filling out month-end reports in the form of SID (Debiter Information System), and XBRL financial reporting.

Reading the purpose of OJT made me feel bad. Some of those systems are my job, while others are Mr. Armand's.

I started scrolling the mouse. Download the list of participants in the form of PDF files and read the names listed there.

And my feelings are proven.

armand Abhimanyu Mahendra (Head Of Operation KC Jember)

arsha Nayyara Usman (KC Jember Back Office)

Of the 25 employees at the Jember branch, only my name and Mr. Armand are listed there. We'll go to Bogor both!! Both!! Just the two!! Huaaaaaaaaaa!! How's this?!!

(Arsha who neglect the staff list of other branches ️)
