The Lost Love

Unexpected

As promised by Alex, from that night Marissa stayed with him and on Monday, she accompanied Marissa to his office to meet Ardan and some of the company officials where Marissa worked.

One thing that makes Marissa again wonder, why everyone in her office treats her uncle like a very influential person in the company.

From the greeting, everyone stood up and let Alex into their study, where not everyone could enter.

"Morning, sir," said Zahra.

"By the morning, where's Ardan?" ask Alex.

"A meeting with the property department, sir," Zahra replied.

"Later if he comes, have him meet me in the main meeting room. Oiya, ask Johan and Yudhi to meet me in the main meeting room" Alex said.

"Well, sir," replied Zahra who was a little confused by Alex's sudden arrival.

"Sorry sir, but what's wrong, sir? how come suddenly??" ask Zahra.

"There's some business I have to deal with myself, calm down I'm not really," replied Alex.

"Please get back to work, just relax" Alex continued.

Alex turns his body to Marissa, who is standing behind him.

"Where's your desk," Alex asked Marissa.

"The left end, Om," replied Marissa

Marissa's answer made all the design staff look at her.

Alex also occupies the job chair of Marissa.

"Nice view from up here" said Alex, who looked up at the window.

"Oiya Cha, I'm sorry Om got distracted. Please do what you have to do. Om to the meeting room," Alex said as he walked into the meeting room.

"Yes, Om."

Alex is waiting for Ardan in the main meeting room, while Marissa is back working on her project.

"'Ris, do you know Mr Alex?? " ask Fitri.

"Yes, you know" replied Marissa casually.

At that instant all the designers approached with their seats.

"Eh why??" marissa did not understand.

"Eh why?? he asked why ?!! You don't know who he is ?" ask Michael.

"What exactly??" ask Marissa.

"Sir Alex is the chief commissioner of our office!!" answer Michael.

"What???!! About Alex??!! he's the commissioner here??!!! how can??!!! from when?" ask Marissa again.

"Om Alex?? how do you call Om?? uh there, what relationship are you with Mr. Alex, don't fuck you, Ris!!" said Novi.

"Well, I can't call my own uncle Om, should I use another name??"

"Waaa don't you Ris!! you guys??? sir Alex's nephew?? from where??" ask Novi who doubts Marissa's answer.

Marissa took a deep breath, she realized if she said who she was, surely none of them would believe. So he just kept quiet and switched the conversation.

"Yeah that is. Uh yes, back to work, Ardan can argue if we are still talking," said Marissa to divert the conversation.

Marissa's mind wandered back, thinking about Alex who was the chief commissioner of her office.

"Pay all is easy!! He has it!! Whaaa how can I??? what does printing have to do with it??" he murmured in the heart.

Meanwhile, Ardan soon meets Alex who is waiting for him.

"Assalamu'alaikum, good morning Mr. Alex," said Ardan.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Morning And. How's projects?? all smoothly??" ask Alex.

"Alhamdulillah," answered Ardan briefly.

Then Ardan explained all the projects they were working on.

"Nice, but actually I'm not here for that, but as always, the design team you have is the best. So keep on the good work" Alex said after listening to Ardan's explanation of the projects they were working on.

"Thank you, sir."

"So, I'll just go straight. Well, you know Marissa, right??" ask Alex.

"Yes, sir."

"She's my neice and I want her to quit from her job as soon as possible, if possible. She said later he was hit by a penalty, it's okay, I'll pay" said Alex.

"OKAY. Oiya, for the project he is working on, please immediately find a replacement. Marissa will only stop after there is a replacement, so please hasten the process" said Alex.

"If you may know, why did Risa stop, sir? why suddenly?" ask Ardan.

"Well, you have no idea what she's been through. I want him to rest, I ask him to stop" Alex replied.

"Okay sir, I will help you to complete the tasks" Ardan said.

" Thank you, please get back to work" Alex said.

"Thank you, sir. Excuse me."

After Ardan left the room, Alex began to discuss his plans to Yudhi Prawira as the main director and Johan Atmadja, as HRD manager.

"Oiya, next month during the commissioner's meeting, I will give my share of 10% to Marissa. Please prepare his papers and for his resignation please also be hastened. If there's a penalty Marissa has to pay, please bill it to my account."

"This is Allah there is nothing to pay, sir," Johan said.

"Well then, I guess that's all I need to say. Assalamu'alaikum" said Alex ended his meeting.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Alex comes back to Marissa in her study.

"Cha, Om go home first. Later in the afternoon, the driver will pick up. Don't come home after Maghrib don't wait 7 or 8."

"Kok Om know?"

"Whose office is this?? Om already memorized the work habits here," replied Alex.

"Yes, Mr. Owner."

"Goodle. Assalamu'alaikum" said Alex as he passed.

"Wa'alaikumsalam."

Before long, Ardan also gathered the designers.

"Ris, I was asked to hasten your resignation process. So, for the Kawanua project I asked who would be willing to replace Risa?" ask Ardan.

"She really has to resign, Dan??" ask Michael.

"Yes, Mr. Alex is serious, ask Risa out" replied Ardan.

"Ris, what's the matter?" ask Ardan.

"Hmmm long story. If you want to know the story, read Bang Jovan's novel later. He said he was there" replied Marissa.

"Lho?? how did it get to Jovan??" ask Ardan to come back.

"Well, that's why it's so long. The point is I'm his niece who went missing for over 12 years. I didn't know about Alex until Saturday. And Bang Jovan, he's the one who put these puzzle pieces together. In the meantime, that's all I can share" replied Marissa who also didn't know where to go.

"Totally secret" Novi protested.

"The problem is very long, long story like a train that continues and continues and teruuus again. Uh that's choki-choki deng," joked Marissa to melt the atmosphere.

"Haadeeee's been seriously bullied, she's joking!!" fitri protest.

"Honestly I am still confused, until this morning I am still confused why Om Alex can be the main commissioner of this office, I'm not young," explained Marissa.

"The bottom line is, last Saturday I went to Alex's office in Lebak Bulus, because I wanted to find my father. It turns out that my father died 5 years ago. I didn't know that the office was a company that Alex's father and father built from scratch. I just thought my dad worked there. That's why I'm still confused, it turns out my father owns a fairly large company. That's why my brain needs time to digest this incredible coincidence" Marissa continued.

"Cinderella story, huh?" ask Novi.

"Maybe," answered Marissa briefly.

"Well, just like she said, wait for the novel Jovan to release. Waaa have to ask first!! Ris, you'll know Jovan, the pesenin directly for his office yaa!!" ardan.

"Siaaaap Boss!! just wait when the novel is finished, Bang Jovan is still writing again," replied Marissa.

"Love the spirit of dong Ris, let it be smooth!!" said Ardan again.

"Already sir, the WA," Marissa pointed to her WA to Jovan this morning.

"Fighting, Bang! I'm curious to read!!"

"Aneeeeeeh, why do you want to read??? this is a story about you!!! You're in the office, right?? the work!! ntar scolded Ardan you know, you don't want responsibility."

"Yes, Bang!!"

After reading WA between Marissa and Jovan, Ardan shook his head.

"What are you two really doing?? in the novel, we hope that your relationship is romantic, sweet, but why even joke like this??" ask Ardan.

"Because both of us are so," Marissa replied casually.
