Secrets of the Former (Love Left Behind)

Fifteen

The deal's been made. Gantari Dihyan Irawan will work at Nevan company as the financial coordinator of risk analyst for two months only. Although he initially refused, he agreed after considering Nevan's future as Shanessa's future. Anyway, just two months.

Gantari did not say much, especially on the other hand he could still live in his country and not separated from his mother.

This morning Nevan noticed the curriculum vitae that Gantari had brought.

"Bachelor of Economics," he murmured.

He made good use of our parting period, Nevan thought.

Gantari has started working. On his desk was a stack of files that asked to be analyzed. There are no introductions or office sessions. Some employees had greeted him at a glance and Gantari had also managed to remember some of their names.

Nevan thought at first it was just a skit, pretending to work. But, come to think of it there is no harm in utilizing Gantari's ability which is beyond doubt.

The break begins and Gantari disappears. And so for the next days. He'll be back, right after the break and then he'll start getting serious about the documents.

Even though they were in one office, they never talked. Gantari also did not look strange with her monstrous style of pleasantries anymore.

Nevan arrives and finds Gantari busy at her desk. Several employees also started to arrive and immediately greeted Nevan. Hearing the arrival of others in the office makes Gantari look up and their gazes meet. Before long, as Nevan continues her steps towards her room.

In the afternoon, before returning home, Gantari gave word that tomorrow would be a meeting. He confirmed this to Nevan this afternoon. Some employees he recruited as a financial risk analyst staff and also have received Nevan approval. They were deliberately prepared to resume their duties two months later.

The meeting was completed three hours later. They left the room with a joke. Gantari had already begun to blend in and Nevan noticed her. Gantari did go in his room several times to report this and that, but only that. What else is it? What bothers him is that there is no awkward feeling seen from the spotlight of Gantari, different from him.

Nevan was still watching them from inside the room. His mind floated back.

Dihyan's amnesia, huh?

Then he shook himself.

His eyes widened when he saw Shanessa in the entourage. Joking with them at the desk. Nevan opened the door and stepped out. Shanessa who saw him immediately waved her hand. Several employees shouted asking him to join the doughnut in their hands. Makes Shanessa giggle.

"Tumben to the office?" Nevan asked when they were in her office.

Shanessa gnashing. "Nicely?"

Nevan smiles. "Don't just dong. You didn't come for me" he pretended to be upset.

Hearing him made Shanessa crumble. "I'm just worried about Gantari, but I think he's even more cheerful here" he said, looking over the glass wall for a moment.

Nevan secretly admitted it. Gantari looks calmer and quieter lately.

"Maybe because she could see her mother every day" Shanessa continued.

Nevan is looking. "Maybe," he murmured.

So, every hour of rest she disappears into the hospital?

The second session, Nevan participated. He showed up with a cup of black coffee in his hand. Then sit in the chair he used to sit in during meetings. Ahmad glanced for a moment, then spoke almost muttering, "Your habits are similar," he said, then he refocused on the tight materials in his hands and occasionally asked something to Widia who was sitting next door.

Gantari cursed himself who forgot if this meeting Nevan participated and did not consider the problem of black coffee maker this problem. Truly, the temptation of the cursed black coffee could not be resisted.

Gantari cleared his throat, then explained some potential prospects accompanied by the results of his good analysis for the development of company profits. All the staff who listened understood. Gantari asked the staff he had appointed to present the results according to the field. Widia, Nanda, Ahmad and Wildan eagerly discussed marketing strategies and tried to read the current market potential that was greeted by thumbs-up by Gantari. Nevan who saw him smiled amusedly.

After the meeting, they had dinner together. The day after tomorrow, Nevan will start to cooperate and next week the investment will be made. Everyone is so excited. Like the sun they need in their growing days.

Shanessa returned after returning home from the county library. Really his head feels dizzy around a pile of thousands of books like that.

Seafood will be their menu of choice tonight. Everyone eats so well. Only Gantari was still cool in sipping his orange juice.

"Don't drink on, Tar. Let's eat," take Nanda.

Wildan had even stuffed some shrimp into Gantari's plate.

"Eat a lot, Dance," Irfan chimed in.

Gantari smiles. Then looked at the shrimp in front of him. His hand moved holding the shrimp with a seductive oyster sauce.

"Oath. It's delicious, Tar," Elma won't lose. He took a few more shrimp and ate them deliciously. Everything seemed so enjoying.

Gantari gulped his saliva and lifted the shrimp on his plate close to his mouth, until a hand held his movement in silence.

The shrimp falls back to the plate and Gantari finds Nevan. Nevan pulls out Gantari's plate and replaces it with a noiseless chicken steak.

Gantari frowned, but Nevan did not care. He continued to eat his favorite sweet sour squid.

Shanessa quietly watched.

"Thank you for the last time, sir."

Nevan smiled in response to Widia's words just now.

"Thank you for working so hard, too" he replied.

"Hopefully the goal, yes, sir, to eat well again" Irfan giggled.

"But I'm eating good soon too. If Mr. Nevan is married," Wildan chimed in who was greeted by a cry of cie cie from others, making Shanessa suddenly blushed.

Elma even nudged Shanessa's arm many times. They are already familiar, the future wife of the boss has often visited their office.

"Dance, you don't rush into marriage, yes," Widia teased. "It's not like it's on soap operas."

Gantari just smiled.

"There's no candidate yet, Tar?" Irfan cleared his throat, "Gue's nagging."

The second cheer is back to deafening the ears. Nevan stood up and kept everyone present shut. Seeing the suddenly awkward atmosphere made Nevan force a smile. "Yok, home. It was night time" he said crisply.

Nevan drove the car fast. Shanessa chose to go home with Gantari with Mr. Sarif. During the journey he cursed himself. What if Gantari had a big head and thought he still had a taste. Damnit.
