After the humiliating incident Alea became more protective of herself, often avoiding the haughty gaze of Javier the boss of turtles in Alea's terms. sometimes Alea calls Javier a penguin friend from the Antarctic continent because of his attitude that is too cold. But on the other hand Javier actually felt comfortable with the existence of Alea, because it did not take long Alea was able to master the work that was transferred to him as CEO secretary. It only took a week Alea was able to master it, because Alea was a smart woman, even she always got a champion from elementary school until her GPA reached 4.00.
Alea always prepares Javier's needs in the office, records every meeting schedule with clients, helps make office data reports, and, and make coffee and order lunch if the boss doesn't want to eat out.

Time kept going and now it had been a month Alea was working. Since Alea worked, she had been less and less likely to have breakfast with her mom and dad, making both parents feel a bit regretful about his decision to allow Alea to work. But on the other hand they must be ready if one day Alea should marry and live with her husband, wouldn't that go any further? because they no longer live in the house anymore, considering that it made Alea's mother tear up.
"hiks..hiks...hiks..."
"why is my mom crying? what's up, em?"
Papa Alea asked as he stroked the back of the woman he had been married to for 28 years.
mama Alea wiped away the clear water pooling on her cheeks, she said,
"mama just feel sad because since Alea works she rarely get together with us pa, hiks..hiks..."
The husband and wife hugged each other as if they felt the loss of the princess alone.
"ma, this is the right decision for Alea. she became independent.is not good at work? that will add to his experience"
For a moment Alea let go of her embrace and wiped away the tears of her beloved wife, and continued her sentence, saying,
"what if Alea gets married later? surely she will be further away from us because she has to live with her husband, let's just say this is an education for parents to learn to release their children someday. now that he's still living at home with us, even we Masi can see him in the morning, but what if he's married? it would definitely be difficult to meet because her husband would be her top priority".
Papa Alea said at length to make the middle-aged woman feel calm and smile at her husband.There is a sense of calm and fear of loss in the heart of mama Alea, but she tried to brush it off.
"papa was right, maybe because Alea was alone, if Arka had not gone first, maybe, hiks....hiks...".
Mama Alea did not continue her sentence, she cried considering Alea's older sister named Arka who died from pneumonia.
"hus, you can't talk rich. Arka was calm there.don't trap her steps there by crying".
Papa Alea continued to try to calm his wife down, and the middle-aged woman nodded her head and hugged her husband tightly, for him her husband's embrace was a powerful sedative.

While elsewhere precisely in the office, Alea was still struggling with the work given by Javier. Javier deliberately had Alea work on a proposal report that would be submitted to establish cooperation with clients who would become his coworkers. Because Alea has always been able to convince clients to establish cooperation with companies that have been built from zero to now grow rapidly out of town.
*****
"this is the report you asked for, you just sign the report".
Alea's light on Javier.
"what's my schedule today?"
"schedule father, at 10:00 there is a meeting with a client from K city, at 12:30 lunch with Mr. Handoko to discuss the development of the company branch in B city".
Clearly Alea was at length.
"well, you'll accompany me as long as I have meetings and lunch too".
Javier replied as he continued to stare at the laptop in front of him without looking at Alea.
"well sir, excuse me".
"wait!"
Javier stopped Alea, though,
"he sir?"
"remember, don't wear a dirty shirt"
Javier spoke casually like he had no burden making Alea snort in annoyance.
"ck, just tell me you're curious, huh basic!".
Alea muttered inwardly while looking at Javier with the sharp corners of his eyes, wanting it to feel like he was swallowing his turtle boss raw.
"basic turtle boss!" Cibir Alea was slow but could still be heard by Javier. Javier knows that Alea was very upset by what he said just now, because since the embarrassing incident Javier always cornered Alea on the pretext that Alea was a half-god teledor woman.
"yes. yes, the four-eyed secretary".
Javier's casual reply, which was still faithful with a fourteen-inch object in front of him, made Alea put on an angry face, while the veins of his face were popping up.
******
Exactly at 10:00 Javier was already in a Japanese restaurant on request from a client he would meet. Alea accompanied Javier and sat down next to his boss.
Alea took over Javier's job to explain in detail the proposed report that made the client feel satisfied with Alea's explanation and immediately accepted the cooperation with Javier's company.
Now Javier reached out his hand as a thank you because his client accepted the cooperation proposed by Javier.
"thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Andika"
Andika who is Javier's business partner received a helping hand Javier.
"sama, Mr. Javier Alexander, have a good day".
Andika turned her eyes and turned to look at Alea who had been silent watching the two great men, and let go of Javier's hand to greet Alea,
"and miss...?
"Alea".
Alea received Andika's helping hand with a friendly smile, but Andika instead tightened her grip on Alea, making Alea pull her hand.
"excuse me, I'm going to the toilet sir".
Alea's permission, he purposely left the two men behind. Because she felt awkward with Andika's gaze that suddenly just looked with a gaze full of intent.
"sir Javier, your secretary is very smart. Has she married yet?"
Andika's question made Javier's forehead wrinkle.
"sorry Mr. Andika, I cannot provide information about the privacy of my employees".
Javier replied sarcastically.
"well, it seems like the master is very professional. Well, Mr. Javier Alexander, excuse me. If you change your mind, please contact me about your beautiful secretary".
Andika spoke with a smile and left Javier who was still flat.
"hm, what a beautiful secretary is that?
in the view of the tall building with straws yes".
Javier muttered to himself not realizing that Alea was already beside him.
"dad you want a straw?"
Alea's question suddenly made Javier shocked.
"astaga Alea!, you surprised me!
ck, don't call me dad, am I as old as you??"
Suddenly Javier was in a bad mood.
"he why? you're weird".
