THE PASSION OF THE CEO

CHAPTER 2. WHO-IS-SHE?

22-year-old orphan girl who just finished college 2 months ago named Deandra Ailsie. Height 165cm with proportional weight, smooth white skin, long hair and beautiful round eyes. Friendly and cheerful attitude that many people like.

This morning Deandra was getting ready to go to work, wearing black pants, a blue dongker shirt and a scarf around her neck, her hair tied in a ponytail. With a thin makeup of natural colors and pink lipstick adds to its beauty. Not to forget he filled the stomach with jam bread and coffee before leaving.

Ting!

Notification of incoming messages.Ah.ada chat from Rosa. Immediately reply to him with a funny emoticon. Rosa invited him to meet after work. Their office is not too far away. Deandra agreed and put the phone in a bag and walked out of the house. An online taxi was waiting for him in front of the house. This morning the air was quite cool because the rain hit the city almost every night. “Mas, grab the fastest line yes.”kata Deandra on taxi driver. “Good miss,” the answer is short and direct the car to the destination.

At the intersection of the main road, the taxi stopped due to a red light. He looked out the window. Next to the black luxury car with dark glass, Deandra could not see the person inside. His eyes were fixed on the car. While in the luxury car, Frans was sitting at the wheel and a man in a suit was sitting in the back seat.

Suddenly the man looked at the taxi right next to his car. His eyes looked at Deandra, the beautiful and fresh face of the girl made the man not to turn his gaze away. Deandra did not realize that there was a man who was looking at her from the luxury car next to her. His mind is busy fantasizing if one day can ride a car even have a luxury car while smiling for themselves.

“Great views in the morning,” he said slowly but heard by Frans. “What sir?frans asked in surprise as he glanced over from the windshield. “It's okay.”answered the man flat. Keep looking at the sweet smiling Deandra. ‘Hmmmm ranum lips’binya suddenly the man felt the turmoil of passion in his body.

The light turned green and the vehicle drove off the crossroad. 20 Minutes later, a taxi Deandra was riding in front of the office building, where his work began today. After paying for a taxi, he stepped inside the building and got into the elevator. Previously, he had signed a contract and was told the location of the workspace. Floor 5 of business development.

The Business Development Division is responsible for developing long-term business, market and customer development strategies. Conduct research for new products and potential new markets. It also plans new marketing programs that interest investors.

 Deandra steps out of the elevator and crosses paths with a handsome man.

“Good morning sir,” greet Deandra friendly.

“Good morning. Deandra, right? My new staff?” tanyakanya.

‘Where does this guy know my name? Thought Deandra's astonished. It seems they have never met. Or maybe he's my boss?

“True sir.” Deandra while throwing a smile at the other staff who entered the room.

“I Arion Pradipta.”stretch hand on Deandra.

“I Deandra Ailsie. Just call Dean.” Deandra shook Arion's hand. The man looked at the pretty face in front of him. Actually when he received Deandra's CV from HRD, he was already interested in the girl.

Moreover, the girl in front of him has a myriad of achievements, he believes Deandra is the right person. The girl could help him develop his division. Arion Pradipta is the cousin of Verrel Aditya Ceyhan. He is believed to hold the position of branch head. Arion is 32 years old, married and has twins.  As they chatted, several pairs of eyes stared at Deandra cynically. ‘Huh, new employee. Definitely want to look face to face the bos’ thought they.

The office where Deandra works is one of the branches of the company owned by Mr Verrel. Arion introduced Deandra to all the employees there. “Oh Yes Dean. You will replace Katarina temporarily because she will be on leave next week.”

“This week he will teach you. I hope you don't disappoint me.Further Arion again.  “Good, sir.” replied Deandra,

After Arion left her room, Deandra approached Katarina. “You know who Arion Pradipta is?” ask Katarina. “He's the manager of this department right?”reply Deandra asked. “Not. He is the head of the branch here.” explained Katarina.

“Ha!” Deandra. It turns out that this man was the head of this company. “Still yes mbak her info. I really don't know about it.” he replied a little worriedly. Was I being disrespectful? Was there a wrong word? Well....where is this? Just working already messed up’ his mind went round and round.

Plaque!

A soft slap on the cheek resuscitates from daydreaming. “Do not daydream. Come on, come with me. I will show you your room and the tasks that you have to do every day.” Katarina said as she walked followed Deandra from behind. This morning it was filled with excitement. Doing all the work that Katarina gave me without complaining.

“I'm glad you're working with passion.” said Katarina staring at Deandra. “May you work here,”next. Deandra smiled”Hopefully yes mbak.” Katarina taught her painstakingly, her kind demeanor making Deandra feel at home even though she was just starting to work. She feels comfortable working as Katarina's assistant, instead she attaches herself to Deandra like an older sister.

Katarina works as a business development manager and Deandra gets a position as her assistant. Katarina already has an assistant, but Arion decides to recruit another assistant to help Katarina. I don't know what enters the mind of an Arion Pradipta gives the position to Deandra who just graduated from college. But he is confident in his decision. Is it possible that an Arion fell in love with Deandra? No-no.

...*******...

Director's room. Arion sits behind the desk checking documents and signing. Before long his phone rang “Halo, Opa.” “What are you doing?”ask someone to her. “Ya, opa donk work. What else do you want to do?”answer it while laughing. His grandfather was Yahya Magani Ceyhan, founder of the Ceyhan Group. Since resigning, Verrel has replaced his grandfather as CEO. While Arion as a director in one branch of the company. Ceyhan Group has many companies in various fields. 

“Maybe noon opa. Can I help opa?” ask again.

 “Search girls for Verrel. Opa jese look at his behavior.”

“Hahahaha opa is all there is. He's got a lot of women, opa.” Arion chuckled, he knew very well the behavior of his cousin who was cold, notoriously sadistic, cruel and dogged women.

“Huh....all women are not right.”grunts annoyed. “Just you should find a nice girl for her.”

“Opa...actually...”not finished talking, his speech was cut the grandfather “What girl was yesterday?” tanyanya excitedly.

“Iya, opa. Looks like the girl is a good fit. But....I'm afraid that.” replied Arion with a weakened voice.

“Soal Verrel, opa.” business said hang up.

There was a knock on the door “Masuk” said.Seems a man walked in “Hai Frans. How are you?”Arion stood up and asked the man to sit. “Good news, I came to retrieve the requested documents Mr. Verrel.” said. That man is Frans, Mr. Verrel's personal assistant. “What is Verrel in the office right now?”ask her to Frans.

“No. He came out. Why?”

“It's okay. I meant to meet him. But maybe another time.”seraya hand over the documents to Frans. The two men were talking about a meeting for the launch of the latest product.

It looks like Arion is calling someone, asking for presentation materials for a new product.  Shortly knocking on the door of his room, after allowing entry, Deandra stepped closer to Arion's desk. Submit documents containing presentation materials that Katarina has prepared for the company's new product.

After submitting the documents, Deandra leaves Arion's room. “Who is he?”frans asked without taking his eyes off the phone.

“New employees. Wh why? Interested?” canda Arion's.

“No.” replied Frans. Trying to remember where he had seen the girl.

Arion only looked at Frans as the man stood up and stepped out and said “Don't forget, next week make a good presentation.”

Arion assigned the business development section to prepare presentation materials. Usually Katarina participated in the presentation for the launch of a new product, because Katarina was on leave next week so this time Arion had other plans, he wanted Deandra who would participate in the presentation. Given the girl's ability to master foreign languages, she also worked part time as marketing. Arion is very confident, Deandra will be able to attract investors.

Arion calls Katarina and asks Deandra to see her soon.  Five minutes later Deandra was back in Arion's room. “Sorry sir. Can I help you?” asked the girl while bowing her head, there was a fear of fear if she had made a mistake.

 

“Begini Deandra's. Next Friday there will be a meeting with investors for a new product. I ask you to come and help me with the presentation.” explained Arion. Deandra's face was raised in shock. Today, her first job was asked to take part in a presentation.

“But sir...”terbata want to refuse.

“Do not worry. I know you just worked here. You have enough time to prepare yourself. I'll have Katarina help you for the presentation.” said Arion to appease Deandra.

“What are you sure about? I don't want to mess things up later.” replied Deandra doubtfully.

“I'm sure.”

“Alright, I promise I will do my best and not waste this opportunity.”while smiling thinly. He was unwilling to let down Arion who had already given him a chance.  “Then I excuse you, sir.”

Arion nodded as he looked towards Deandra stepping out.
