The Beloved Lady of Mr. Dama

Chapter 23

Alya bit her lips, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Does the president come to this department often?"

If Dama came down and saw him working here, would he be surprised? Think Alya.

After all, this is his company. He had a legitimate reason to worry. He did not want to meet her at the company. It was embarrassing to think of such a situation, which was why he asked such a question.

Tria clearly misunderstood her intentions when she replied, "If you want to meet the president, you can't meet him here. We are a very large company, and generally the president will not go down to various departments. Even if he wants to talk to an employee, it is his assistant who will do so relaying his message to the employee. So, if you want to meet the president, it might be a little difficult."

Alya was very happy and relaxed. This is what he wanted. It would be better if he could not see it.

"OK, understand. Thank you, Tria," said Alya.

Alya's happiness was written all over her face. Tria was very confused. 

"Shouldn't he be sad? Why does he look so happy?" tria muttered in her heart.

"Then it's safe to work" said Tria.

During the day, while they were having lunch in the company cafeteria, Luna who was in a good relationship with Alya invited him to sit down together. Alya was a newcomer, so she had lunch quietly while listening to her co-workers gossip about the company.

When a group of women gathered together, they spent time gossiping. Alya's hand movements slowed down when someone mentioned Dama's name. He almost stopped chewing his food.

"Hey, is our president serious about Jasmine? Two days ago, there were rumors about them all over the major TV channels, but no one was broadcasting the news now. Why that?"

Ratna felt a little regretful as she had not seen enough of the gossip.

Lenny lowered his voice and replied, "Could the president use some means to suppress this matter?"

"That's very possible, but why? If the two are in love, there is no need to hide it, right? Admit it honestly," said one of them.

"Maybe the president is not serious with him. As soon as the matter was revealed, the president was a little angry, so he suppressed the matter."

"Ehem!"

Alya chokes.

Ratna glared at him. "What's wrong? Are you laughing at me?"

Alya hurriedly waved her hand and said, "No, no. You are young and beautiful, you have a chance. It's just that the president didn't come to this department. You need him to be around you so you can get closer, don't you agree with my words?"

Ratna thought for a moment and sighed. 

"really. I've been working at the company for two years but I've only met him once. Well," said Ratna who is now lost spirit.

Hearing this, Alya was getting relieved. It seemed like he would not meet her in the company at all.

When lunch is about to end, somehow, gossip spins back to Dama's first love. Ratna nudged Luna with her arm. 

"Hey, you've been working for a long time in the company between us. Do you know why our president is not married? Did he hide a girl in his heart?"

Luna who sipped her tea, thought for a moment, and said, "When I first joined the company, 

I heard a rumor that the president had a first love that he loved so much."

 "I know that the president has someone in his heart because he's not married! Luna tell me, who's the president's first love?"

Luna glanced at him and said weakly, "I only heard about the rumors. It's said that the president had a girlfriend before and they had an amazing relationship, but ...."

Ratna's eyes widened. "But what?"
