The black avanza car stopped at the parking lot of the Lubuklinggau branch office. I took a deep breath as I opened the car door. There was doubt in my heart as my feet were about to step down.
"I'm here mbak, nothing will happen with mbak" said Mr. Abraham who made me a little relieved
"Mari mbak" asked Afdal to me
I stepped up to line them up on the top floor.
"Dian!" call me loud enough when we arrive on the third floor when I see Rian mopping the floor
Rian immediately raised his head and smiled at me
"Do you know OB here?" ask Tobias
"Yes sir" I replied with a smile
"Bak enter first Yan, we will have a conversation later" I said as I waved at him
Rian replied by nodding his head with a smile
"I'm sorry sir if I make Mr. ilfil" I told Mr. Tobias who also stopped his steps when I greeted Rian
"No problem mbak Indah. I was even happy, it turned out that the man was humble" he replied
"Come sir, we'll head to the meeting room" Afdal asked
Then the three of us continued our steps.
My heart beat faster as we got closer to the meeting room. It is not Andi that I fear but the important person who has been waiting for me inside
As Afdal was about to open the door, I immediately tidied up my clothes and hijab, I was afraid that my appearance would fall apart
"It's beautiful anyway" continued Mr. Tobias who made my face meet with shame
Then the door opened and we walked in.
I swallowed when I went inside. There had been four men including Andi who had been sitting in their respective seats.
The three neatly dressed people in black suits looked over as we entered.
"Sorry gentlemen, we are late" said Mr. Tobias as he pulled a chair for me.
The three gentlemen just nodded, but Andi glanced at him with a dislike look.
After he pulled me a chair and let me sit, still with a tense face I sat down.
We sat around the rectangular table.
"Sorry Mr. Andreas, introduce this Beautiful Ma'am who will help us explain the slide to our deputy CEO directly later" said Mr. Tobias introduced me
I nodded respectfully to a Father who was the oldest of the three who had been called by the name of Father Andreas.
He seemed to nod his head to me too.
"Thank you for your willingness to be beautiful" he said
"Sama-sama sir" I replied slowly
"Come on, don't be nervous, I ever saw you when we were in Pekanbaru, I am Jonathan, as a leader of the team. He is Mr. Andreas as a Sales Manager of Branch Bengkulu and he is Mr. Miko as a central supervisor of Salam Group, we all from Jakarta. Come here only meet you specially and to see how the development our company in here"
I nodded my head. Of course I would be flattered if they were here other than because of work as well because they wanted to see me.
"Nice to meet you again" he continued
"Nice to meet you too sir" I replied respectfully
Andi's face was increasingly disliked when he saw that the three audit teams were more interested in talking with Beautiful when with him earlier.
"So, can we start our meeting?" said Mr. Andreas.
Afdal immediately handed me the report file.
"Later sir, it looks like we gave you a moment to read a glimpse of this report and we just started meeting" suggested Mr. Tobias
"Okay, never mind" he answered
I immediately opened the report, read it. Honestly, I don't understand what's on that paper. Contains curves, product name of goods, nominal amount of money, and so on.
As I read the report, Afdal was connecting the laptop to the infocus. While the others immediately opened their laptops.
"Connect my laptop. Because this is directly connected to the teleconference to the deputy CEO" said Mr. Jonathan.
Afdal immediately took Mr. Jonathan's laptop and immediately connected it to the infocus.
I still focus on reading the report when the screen in infocus has shown the image.
"Ready?" said a voice that made me lift my head from the report paper in my hand
My eyes widened as I stared at the infocus. Is this a dream?? My heart raced fast.
Looks like Mr. Tobias caught the shock on Beautiful's face.
"Don't touch her!" say the voice inside the screen loudly when you see the hand of Mr. Tobias will hold the hand Beautiful
Tobias immediately pulled his hand. His lips seemed to be smiling.
Andi who captured the moment increasingly showed his hatred for Indah. Afdal just glances alternately between Andi, Beautiful, Mr. Tobias and the screen.
"Welcome in our meeting Mr. Ariadi" greet sir Andreas takzim.
Ariadi nodded his head.
I gulped to see who was on the screen.
"Come on, it's starting. Our Vice President does not want to delay time" said Mr. Andreas
I immediately stood up and looked at the screen with a heartless heart. I cursed my nervousness. This nervousness far exceeds when I had to deal with the CEO yesterday.
The others immediately took their respective phones and put them on the table.
"Hpnya mbak Indah" said Mr Tobias
I shook my head.
"It's mandatory" he said again
"I don't have any more hp sir" I replied slowly
Everyone present looked at each other, Andi looked agitated.
"That's what we'll talk about later" said Miko
Finally all focus and prepare to hold a meeting today.
Andi started her report. There was tension on his face. While I explain every slide that appears on infocus.
I tried to be professional even though I was very nervous when I met my brother again even though it was only through zoom meeting.
It didn't feel like two hours had passed in this meeting. With relief Andi closed his report. And I also breathed a sigh of relief
"Nice to meet you again Indah" said the voice of my brother
I sat back staring at the infocus. I don't know what's on my mind right now. I miss you very much, brother.
"Nice to meet you too sir" I replied
"You've done a great job, you did it very well" brother continued
I smiled towards him
"Thanks a lot sir, I am glad you like it" I replied
"Eh hemm" Mr. Andreas cleared his throat which made me immediately wake up and immediately turned my eyes away from the infocus screen.
"See you next time Lovely. I am waiting you" said the brother who again forced me to stare at the screen.
I looked meaningfully at him. I feel like I want to linger talking to my brother, wanting to share my current sorrows with him.
"See you brother" I replied softly
"Mrs. Andreas, please take care of my girl" continued brother
"Yes sir" replied Andreas
Andi stared hard at Beautiful. His hatred is growing. Beautiful pretending not to look and act ordinary.
"Where are we having lunch?" ask Mr. Miko
"There's a recommendation on where Mr Andi is?" ask Tobias
Andi mentioned the name of a fast food restaurant and the name of a cafe.
"I want traditional food, not neko-neko" replied Mr. Jonathan who has an oriental face
"beautiful Pound?" ask me
"Yes sir?" answer me
"There are recommendations for a comfortable and homy place to eat? tannya
I kept quiet for a while trying to think.
"Ehm, how about we go to the Green Hut only sir" I replied
"Ah, yes, that's right sir. It was a very homy restaurant, the menu was also delicious, still fresh from the pan" Afdal replied
"Let's go there. It's also lunch hour" asked Mr. Andreas while immediately fixing his laptop.
"I'll take a ketoilet permit, sir" said I when we were outside the room.
"Please" replied Tobias
I walked away to the toilet. And get into the toilet. Before long I had come out but my steps came to a halt as Andi walked towards me.
"Hem, it's only been a few days that I've been talak, you've been nervous with a lot of men"
I'm silent no matter
"You deserve my beautiful talak, cheap women" Andi said coldly
"So your mouth is the venerable father Andi Wijaya" I replied with great pressure
"Don't you dream of getting a vice CEO, not praising you means he likes you. Bear men are easy to get a girl, look who you are!" back Andi let out his scorn
"There's no need for you to teach me how to let me know Andi's father, I know who I am. And I'm warning you again, don't you ever insult me again. Because I can assure you, every crime and betrayal you will be avenged" I said, staring intently at him
Andi chuckled in ridicule.
"Eh ehm" Deheman's voice shocked the two of us.
Afdal came out of the toilet staring in disbelief at us.
"Really you?" tanyanya shook her head
I immediately left them both. I don't care what Afdal thinks after he finds out about my relationship with Andi right now.
Mr. Tobias and the party were outside the office and after seeing me they immediately got into the silver avanza parked outside.
"Welcome with us or her husband?" ask Tobias
"I'm in my car" I replied quickly
Immediately I boarded the black avanza with Mr. Tobias and just like that, Abraham was there
