Chapter 4 Assistant Secretary

" Rika.today you accompanied me to a meeting yes, prepare everything" bu Mela said then gave instructions on what to prepare at the time of the meeting and what to do during the meeting.

" Good mom.." Rika nodded obediently and swiftly prepared all of Ms. Mela's requests.

" 9 Hours after the meeting starts"

" Good ma'am .."

Already 6 months Rika became an assistant to Bu Mela so that she understood her work.Bu Mela seemed to also fit Rika's job, rarely she complained because she was not satisfied.

Rika was able to enjoy her work, she was very happy. His salary as Assistant Secretary is much greater than the previous training period.He can send money to his mother regularly and large enough so that he is sure his mother is not lacking in the village.The cost is still in Susi's boarding house but his room was separated because he was able to pay rent for one room.

The meeting room was large, a long table was located in the middle of the room with rows of chairs around it.At the end of the room, sticking to the wall, there was a large monitor screen .Rika stepped her feet hearted, somewhat nervous, considering this is the first time I got the task of accompanying Bu Mela for this monthly meeting.Meeting was followed by all company officials and led directly by the Director.During working here Rika has never met the Director,the senior director said he rarely went to the office this late because his wife was sick.

One by one the meeting participants entered the room, they were average already seniors and all had serious faces.Some chatted about the work while opening the file brought.Rika did not see Mr. Tanu, who was not, but finally he realized that this meeting was followed by the Manager to the top, while Mr. Tanu Supervisor .

" Good morning Sir.." everyone present in the meeting room stood up and greeted the Director as he entered the room.

" Morning...." Director , Mr. Narendra, all the employees used to call him 'Mister' answered flatly and immediately sat down to lead the meeting. His words were firm.Once in a while he threw a question to the meeting participants.

Rika has just seen Mr. Her age is about 35 years.His skin is clean, his body is tall and strapping , handsome and mature.Everyone who sees it will think so.But this time he looks a bit agitated like he is thinking something.Truely, a few moments after the meeting goes ,suddenly arrived Ms. Mela who was sitting right next to the Master received a phone call.Bu Mela stood up and went out of the room.A moment later she went back in and whispered to her Master.See you were shocked and immediately stood up.

" Please continue meeting , Mela you are leading "

He said while rushing outside.

Meeting continued , this time Ms. Mela who led.No one dared to ask why the Master left the room.Rika was very impressed with Ms. Mela, he led the meeting effectively.All the meeting participants seemed very respectful and obedient to him.

Before ending the meeting, Ms. Mela said slowly, her normally expressionless face turned sad.

" Mrs today her condition drops, we pray that she will soon recover from her pain"

All shocked, their faces looked sad.

They know that he has been hospitalized for a long time.The condition lately is indeed not good.

Meeting ended, they returned to their respective rooms.

" Rika, today's minutes meeting you immediately print yes" Ms. Mela gave instructions after they returned to the secretary room.

" Good ma'am." answered Rika, today she learned many things, but, how the company officials carry out their duties leading the Division then report to the highest supervisor, the Director.Notulen meeting that is being done by Rika contains important and confidential information about the company's operations at the head office.Rika is very grateful to be located in his current position.

Not long after he finished his task and handed the results to Bu Mela.

" Thank you Rika, you are very reliable" said Bu Rika praised after she read the file printed by Rika.Rika smiled and nodded.

That's how Ms. Mela, her assistant must work quickly and precisely, there should be no mistakes.Rika who is getting used to the rhythm of her work, has understood what her boss will be.Every day she learns how to type faster, and how to type faster, how to do more than one job at the same time.Bagai how to arrange the meeting schedule Mr. so as not to clash with other schedules.

At the beginning he felt stress.But he realized there was no point in feeling stressed, however he really needed the job.You do not want himself to have to study and practice hard .In addition to knowing and practicing technical matters, Rika also read many books about secretarialism.

Ms. Mela let her guests sit on the sofa.

" Rika, come with me to discuss with Mr. Ridwan"

" Good mom"

Pak Ridwan is the Mall Operational Manager, there are problems to be discussed with Mr, but because Mr. No Ma Mela handles.

" Look, Mr. Mela, there are big tenants who have difficulty paying rent lately" Mr. Ridwan began to describe the problems he faced.Bu Mela took his speech seriously, rika is busy noting some things that she thinks are important.

The exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar has dropped dramatically lately making some tenants in the Mall hit, he said, because the rent is calculated using dollars.Not to mention its business that slows down due to a decrease in purchasing power.The problem is quite strange.If the big tenant terminates his lease contract, the, company loss.In the near future not necessarily able to get tenant substitutes are equally large.

" Pak Ridwan has a prospective replacement for the tenant? " Mrs Mela asked.

" No ma'am yet, it's hard to find a replacement"

" If we advertise in the mass media how? "

" In difficult times like this I can't guarantee Mom " replied Mr. Ridwan lethargic.

" We just love the relief until the condition improves"

" How many months is it, Mom? "

" Three months "

" Good ma'am, hopefully within three months conditions change"

Mr. Ridwan seemed relieved, Ms. Mela could help solve the problem.Bu Mela was indeed given the authority to decide some problems without having to ask for the Director's approval.Mr trusts Ms. Mela very much.

Mr. Ridwan thanked me and left the room.

Without being told Rika immediately type the notes of the discussion and send to Bu Mela's email.

By 8 pm he had just arrived at his boarding place.He stopped by Susi's room for a while.Seeing that his best friend was eating.

" Eat what Sus? I haven't eaten hungry yet ".

" Pecel catfish, delicious loh, I bought it on the street"

" Want.."

" Oh yeah, I'll eat first .I'll buy it later"

" Okay sip.I take a shower first"

Rika rushed to her room to take a shower.His body felt accomplished and her stomach was hungry.
