The Secret of Office Girl

30. Your salary's been cut

Clara and Raya were sitting next to each other in the CEO's room. The two women displayed different expressions.

Raya bowed lethargicly, while Clara smiled sumringah. This is what Clara had been waiting for a long time. Moments of being fired from Irawan Group.

Balin was in his great chair while staring at Clara and Raya alternately. He asks Clara to explain back about the rumor that says that Raya has claimed to be Kirana.

Of course, Clara is happy to explain again with the addition of hate spices.

When he finished, Balin straightened his back and cleared his throat.

“Then I have drawn my conclusion,” said Balin.

Clara shrieked softly as she tapped her fingers. He is happy not to play, but Balin has not said what punishment will be given to Raya.

“Your mistake is very embarrassing company image Irawan Group,” continued Balin.

“You heard, Raya. Mr. Balin says shameful,” says Clara like a foreign language translator.

Though Raya herself understood what Balin said. He took a deep breath and looked down.

“This time I can still forgive you. However, still you will get a.” penalty

Clara chuckles, “Punishment awaits, Raya.”

“And as his punishment, your salary this month will be cut.”

“Yes,” cheer Clara happy while clenching hands. He threw a glance at Raya, and laughed loosely.

“You heard, Raya. Your salary this month will be cut.”

Silence is expressionless. She thought the punishment was no longer working as an office girl.

In fact, only his salary was reduced. He's a little relieved. The pay cut was no big deal for him.

Then, Balin cleared his throat loudly which made Clara turn to him.

“Clara, I'm talking to you.”

Clara's laughter stopped like she was running out of battery. While Raya immediately looked up and frowned.

Clara's face was pale when she heard Balin's words. He also asked the big boss to repeat his words. Afraid he heard wrong.

Balin also explained again that since he had spoken with Clara not Raya. that means that the salary will be cut Clara.

Damnit. If my salary is cut, I can't go clubbing dong.

“Master, why was my salary cut? My fault what? Clearly wrong it was Raya,” protest Clara.

“You know your mistake? You have slandered and triggered disputes that interfere with employee performance,” Balin explained casually.

“But, dear Mr. Balin, I am not slandering. Raya has been presumptuous to admit to being Miss Kirana. Even the evidence is clear. He should be the one being punished,” exclaimed Clara fiery.

Clara pulled out her phone and showed back a photo of Raya with the bunder gang uploaded by Amanda.

Balin glanced at the photo at a glance, then took a deep breath.

“Clara, the woman in the photo, is indeed my daughter, Kirana.’

Clara flabbergasted. He turned to Raya who bit his lower lip. Again, he did not believe Balin's words.

While the body of Raya stiffened. Resign if Balin will uncover his identity at that time. He closed his eyes ready to hear Balin's statement.

“J-so... Miss Kirana it...” said Clara stammered.

Balin nodded.

“That kirana has a face that is almost similar to Raya,” said Balin continuing Clara's remarks.

The Kingdom that closed its eyes, immediately opened wide. He turned to Balin and commented a faint smile.

Balin returned the smile when Clara did not see him.

Raya is breathing again. It turns out that Balin did not reveal his secret, instead supporting disguise as an office girl.

“So the woman who was with the bunder gang was Miss Kirana, Mister?” clara asked to confirm once more.

“Iya, it is indeed Kirana. He accidentally met a group of mothers while going to a spa. Then they asked to take a picture with my daughter.”

The stalling smile realized that Balin's reason was enough to convince Clara to believe it.

“I was in the apartment, Sir,” Raya replied lying.

“Well, Clara, you heard it yourself right? So, this Kingdom does not claim to be Kirana as you accuse her. So now you have to apologize to Raya.”

Cih, how could I apologize to this village girl. Inner Clara glanced cynically at Raya.

Balin waits for Clara's apology, which he never does. Until he cleared his throat too.

“Clara, let's apologize.”

“Y-ya sorry, Kingdom,” said Clara was not sincere.

Raya just nodded. It doesn't matter whether Clara apologizes or not. He was happy because Balin understood the conditions that were happening.

“Now, you can go back to work, Clara. As for Raya stay here. There's something I need to say.”

Clara got up from her seat, snorted loudly, and walked away from the room. He's sticking his legs up.

Clara's face hinted at a sly smile. He couldn't stop here to humiliate Raya. Even he swore he would retaliate more than what he received this time.

Balin and Raya chuckled after the door closed. In that room there were only the two of them. So Raya feels quite free..

“Yesterday Papa arrived home. Papa deliberately asked Nakula and Sadewa not to tell you. They've said everything about you working as OG,” Balin explained.

Raya nodded, listening to Balin who continued the conversation.

“But, actually Papa doesn't agree with you like this, Kirana. Papa thinks you're working as CEO replacing Papa for a while.”

“I did this because I was looking for a spy working at Irawan Group. So please, Papa don't unload my secrets before I find that guy!”

Raya clenched both hands begging Balin who raised his eyebrows.

“Then how is the progress? You suspect someone? I hope you stop playing the show soon. Papa doesn't want you to be treated like that.”

Raya changed gamang. He did not want to say directly about his suspicions to Raka. He loves that guy.

However, as far as his observations so far, Raka is the most likely person to have a grudge on Balin.

“I suspect someone but Papa answered my question honestly first,” said Raya grasped tightly the end of her shirt.

“What questions?”

“Did Papa ever hit anyone until he died?”

“No.”

“Please, Papa, answer honestly!”

Balin took a deep breath, and leaned his back.

“Papa is often careless in driving a car, but throughout Papa's life, Papa never hit people, especially until he died,” Balin said.

Raya clucked, the more gamang will be his own suspicion once see the honesty on the face of the father.

“Then, why did Papa pay the entire hospital administration fee on behalf of patient Rayyan Abhimanyu?”

Hearing the name Rayyan Abhimanyu, slowly Balin's forehead seemed wrinkled, seeming if he was remembering.

Before long he leaned in, and opened his mouth about to speak but suddenly…

Tok.dok..

The sound of knocking on the door paused Balin's conversation. He lets in on the people out there.

And it turns out that the one who knocked on the door was Raka. The man looked a little surprised to find Raya in the CEO's room.

Then the bead of Raka's eyes returned to focus and conveyed his intention to meet Balin.

“Meetings of financial statements this month will start soon, Sir,” Raka said.

Balin nodded, and then threw a glance at Raya who sighed in disappointment. Balin almost told me what had happened between him and Ray.

“Lain times we connect the talk, Raya. Oh yes, please make me a coffee and take me to the meeting room!”

“Good, Sir,” Reply Kingdom. He had to call his father master because there was Raka nearby.

Then, Balin stepped past Raka who briefly smiled and nodded at Raya before he finally caught up with Balin.
