The Long Way to Be a CEO

Coffee Aroma

Despite having to bear the shame of cheating the committee, now Finna tries to accept the situation and pretends not to bother with it. If he had to question the events of yesterday, his position would be difficult and the strength he had was not comparable if he had to fight other higher-ups who were clearly above his level.

Dizziness because there are many things to be done, finna massaging her head may be a little tired due to too much work and all the affairs so less able to focus she completed as usual. The mentality of the entrepreneur must be resilient and can understand something quickly and not act rashly, it is what his father always conveyed to finna as a child who inherited the family business.

“Hai, are you okay ?” Alfred approached him to take lunch, and there was something else he wanted to say.

As soon as the two of them had a casual conversation, proceed to a family restaurant that was half an hour away, deliberately looking for a place a bit far away in order to relax without being disturbed by others who might know finna.

“Fred.. Why are you silent, you know who all this is?” he was furious with some officials and organizers of the Invovation-Tech Festival and immediately sprayed alfred who was also part of the management team at the big annual event that had just been held.

“Entahlah.. I don't want to look for problems in your country, this could have a bad impact on my company later”. Rebuttals.

He opened the menu, and instructed the waiter to record all the orders of the two of them at lunchtime which began to be crowded by others who were also about to rest after being tired of work.

“Yes of course I understand that. But you have a lot of power and your connections are good in the center circle”.

“Oh madam... It's not as easy as you think. If you want to fight we have to know what exactly we are facing”.

“Personally I'm sorry that your friend got in trouble because of poor management process, please don't feel bad for me”.

“OK.. Alright “.

Finna gave up on alfred's endearment to say her involvement and those of others in many of the cases that occurred on the show yesterday, and it's not just about sharon, but many other complaints that are also almost similar. Think, alfred will say all other things that he does not know and can be a material for finna to convolve if at one time there are others who corner him in many problems during the Inovation-Tech event The festival.

“Just relax, I guarantee your safety”.

“Cheers..” the soft clinking sound of two clashing glasses closes their conversation.

Delicious dishes had been presented in the hope of the two of them, not waiting for long, they were busy with their respective food, finishing each dish without a word said.

More and more restaurants are visited by some people, most of them there are office workers in the Sudirman area. Alfred looks uncomfortable because everyone's behavior is so noisy and makes a lot of noise as long as he is eating his food.

“Why?” ask Finna.

“Is there no other quieter place ?”

“Everything is like barbarians, very noisy. A restaurant like this should be a place to relax. Gzzzzzzzz”

“Hahaha. You're the one who wants to ask this place. I have another place to relax”. Finna laughed at him who was upset that he could not calm down to eat a meal in such a stormy situation.

“Come on, take me to nicer places”.

“Today I want to relax, without having to think about work” asked finna.

“Come with me now”. Invite it to a friend and business partner of the American bule.

“Where?”

“Cerewet once, just wait later also tau”

——————————

After a long time of communication, the two of them became familiar despite the age difference and now the company is partnering with the wicaksono group from the company Finna. Alfred company itself moves on the cutting-edge medical equipment technology and become the core of a promising business in gaining wealth, no wonder if finna so much to learn from alfred and familiar as well as a friend.

‘Your wife how are you ?” finna asked when they were in the middle of a traffic jam in central Jakarta.

“Well, the plan is next week he is here with the children and want a vacation to Bali, you want to accompany us?”

“Crazy for you, why should you join your family”

“Hahaha.. Just bring your girlfriend, so we can vacation with”. He was laughing and laughing.

“I broke up with my girlfriend” finna explained the case of the breakdown of her relationship with andre due to the presence of a third person.

“I'm sorry, I don't know” he's sorry to hear his friend was heartbroken.

“That's okay, I don't have to cry over a jerk. Now I'm enjoying my free time just”

“One day you will find the right and good man for you. Just wait.” said alfred gave encouragement to finna in order to later get the partner he craved which is certainly good and also responsible.

On the way now they are both more silent, awkward because of the chat about the story of broken heart finna and do not know again have to open the topic of conversation. Both are busy with their respective thoughts while finna focus on steering her car to break through traffic jams and want to go to the place she used to go if she was too busy.

Before long they both get out of the car and into a cafe that is not too big but quite convincing. He knows this place from Indira and also sharon, it is said that this is a place frequented by sharon from the time of his lecture.

“Welcome.” A cafe owner welcomed the arrival of the two of them.

“Hallo Mas Hendy, how are you?” ask finna.

“Good, tumben not with Indira. hahhaa”.

“Iya nih mas, Indira is still working at this hour. So I invite the bule to make a tasting coffee here.” then he introduced in bule to the owner of Dekafe.

The room is shrouded in fragrances from a wide variety of coffee bean aromas, very soothing and noiseless, among them some students are cool to coffee and do the task there are also those who are just busy with their own casual style while listening to the strains of jazz songs played in the cafe playlist.

Alfred was quite amazed by the arrangement of this cafe, he can now relax and linger in a cool and peaceful place no longer have to ponder the business of work that took up some time ago doing the event. He sat down and laid his body on the sofa while waiting for his coffee order, although not too fond of coffee but the atmosphere was very comfortable, occasionally chatting casually with finna who was in front of him.

It paid off already , the length of time he was in the car with traffic jams in each street flow which also adds to the fatigue just by looking at it too, but now he can relax enjoying coffee dishes as well as the atmosphere of the cafe that so calms his heart.

“This is the order, please enjoy”. 2 cups of warm Cappuccino coffee served on the table accompanied by a complement of brownies and cheese cake.

“Thanks for hendy.”.
