Twins Genius: Two CEOs

Launch time

...***...

"It." Jordan offered a glass of warm tea to Aphrodite who was sitting on one of the empty benches in her office cafeteria.

"uh? Why did you bring me here? It's still working hours, Jordan. If our boss knows. He could be angry, and we could be fired." Aphrodite panic.

Jordan smiled at Aphrodite's words. "You don't have to worry, he's not here anyway, is he? So we're safe."

"But still! If he sees us, we might get in trouble. I don't want to be fired let alone I've only worked a few weeks here."

"Better now you drink and calm yourself. Everything will be fine, he will not fire his employees. He is a kind and friendly leader."

"Huh, really?" Aphrodite raised her eyebrows.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where do you know that? Have you ever met him?"

"Often. Every day I meet him everywhere. So I already know very well how it is, you don't have to worry."

"Every day? So... Who are you working for? A secretary? His assistant? Or...?" or…?" Aphrodite looked at him with a curious look on her face.

"Haha, you ask so many questions. It's better you drink, warm sweet tea will make you better. It can make your mind calmer."

"H-huh? Alright.." Aphrodite grabbed the glass in front of him and then gulped it down slowly.

Jordan was silent looking at the face of Aphrodite who was now very close to him. He watched every move of the woman.

"The more I look at your nature and manner of speaking, the more I feel that you really resemble him." thought Jordan staring at Aphrodite barely blinking.

Aphrodite still enjoyed the warm sweet tea Jordan had given her, meanwhile; his brain was still filled with various questions that suddenly appeared about what he had just discussed with Jordan.

Feeling that his every move was being watched by the two pairs of eyes of the man beside him, Aphrodite turned her head towards him.

"Why do you look at me like that?" Aphrodite raised her brow next to a puzzled one.

"Nothing."

"Oh yeah, by the way I have to get back to work. You should go back to work, too, right?"

"Yes…"

"Then I go first, thanks for the sweet tea. It's working, now I'm feeling calm too." Aphrodite moved from her seat.

"Yes, thank goodness."

"Other times I'll pay for your kindness. See you soon."

"I'll wait."

Aphrodite stepped out of the cafeteria room leaving Jordan alone who was now looking at Aphrodite who was now walking further and further away from where she was today.

"It turns out he doesn't know that I'm leading the company?" Jordan smiled wryly as his brain was reminded of the ridiculous question Aphrodite had asked him.

...*...

"You're okay, right?" Francisco asked Aphrodite who had just woken him up.

Aphrodite chuckled in response to Francisco's repeated questions since they returned home yesterday afternoon.

"I'm fine Frans. Until when are you going to keep asking me how I am? You asked me so many times from the day I got home until we got home, you kept asking."

"I just want to make sure, your face yesterday was pale. I'm afraid you're sick."

"I'm doing fine. If you don't believe me, you can check my temperature yourself." Aphrodite grabbed Francisco's hand and placed the back of her hand on his forehead.

"How's it?" Ask Aphrodite.

"It turns out you're okay."

"I told you. So don't worry too much. Besides, if I'm sick, I'll definitely talk if I'm sick. But now I'm fine."

"Thank God. I'm glad to hear it."

"Now let's get up, we have to go to work. It's almost noon."

"All right." Francisco got up from his bed, while Aphrodite was well dressed; now she walked over to the curtain that covered her room. The curtains were pulled apart and allowed the sunlight to penetrate into their rooms, illuminating every corner of the room with the bright light of the morning sun.

Francisco grabbed his sleeping pajamas and took them to the dirty laundry, putting them in with his other clothes. After that take a shower and prepare before leaving for the office along with Aphrodite.

Aphrodite stepped down from her room and waited for Francisco in the dining room, cooking a variety of dishes that she had now arranged neatly on the table and ready to eat.

...*...

Aphrodite locked the door of her apartment, walking with Francisco down the corridor to get to the elevator door. Arriving in the elevator, he rushed in and pressed the numbered buttons available there.

Aphrodite and Francisco stood side by side there. "Oh yeah, this afternoon it looks like I won't be able to have lunch with you" Francisco said.

"Why? You have another show?"

"There was a meeting I had to do with my client this afternoon, and they asked me to meet them at one of their designated restaurants. The restaurant is quite far away, so I don't seem to be able to have lunch with you."

"so. Yes it's okay, I can have lunch at the office today. I'll eat in the cafeteria with my other friends."

"I'm really sorry."

"No need to apologize, I understand." Aphrodite smiled at him.

Before long, the elevator doors opened to their attention. The two walked out of the elevator and walked towards the basement to pull out the car, after which leaving for the office together; just like the previous days.

...*...

"I'm hungry. About, what's the menu in the cafeteria today, huh?" Tina monologue, she now gets up from her seat. Walking towards the exit of his division room was about to go to the cafeteria to enjoy his lunch hour.

"Tina." Aphrodite called out her name as soon as the woman almost walked out of her room. He looked at the woman who had just called his name.

Aphrodite walked over to Tina who was now looking at her. "What's wrong?" Ask with a confused face.

"You're going to lunch?"

"Yes. Why why?"

"good. I also want lunch, then let's go together." Aphrodite put her hand on Tina's hand and pulled her out of the division room. Tina looked at Aphrodite with an increasingly confused look on her face, watching Aphrodite closely.

"What's with you this afternoon?" Ask stammered.

"You mean?" Aphrodite asked.

"Aren't you usually eating with me? Don't you usually eat out of the office? But why did you suddenly invite me to eat together? What was? Is there something you want from me?"

"You are, don't think so. I invited you to lunch together because I wanted to, after all since we knew him. We've never eaten together, have we?"

"Oh, yes, you're right too" Tina muttered. "But it's still weird" he said, noting.

"Aren't you going to eat out today?"

"No."

"Why? Didn't your girlfriend pick you up for lunch with her?"

"He's not my girlfriend" Aphrodite said, accelerating her footsteps.

"Huh?" Tina raised her brow next to a puzzled one. "If he's not her boyfriend, then why does he always come and pick her up for lunch together?"

"Tina!" Aphrodite shouted at him. Tina turned her head towards the arrival of the voice to find Aphrodite who was now very far away from where she stood.

"Huh?"

"Hurry over."

"Ah.yeah." yeah." Tina rushed to Aphrodite who was already very far from where she was at the moment.

...*...

Jordan stopped his activities that had continued to focus on his work. He rubbed his eyes tired slowly.

"My eyes are getting tired" he murmured slowly. He switched eyes on the clock that was now coiled around his left wrist. The clock shows you time for lunch.

"I'd better have lunch first, then get back to work." Jordan shut down some of the files that were in front of him. Stacking all the files together and putting them on the edge of the table, the man got up from his seat. Walk out of his room.

"You haven't rested?" Jordan said so found his secretary who is still busy with his work.

"uh? Oh, I was just about to leave, sir."

"Goodoo. Better rest first, after that back to work. You mustn't ignore your empty stomach."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Then I go first."

"Good." The secretary smiled at him. He got up from his seat and began to clean up his desk, after finishing the woman then went to the elevator to get to the cafeteria and enjoy her lunch time there.

...*...

Jordan decided to descend by using the stairs while the elevator on his floor was in use. He walked down several corridors to get down to the ground floor.

His attention was suddenly seized once he passed one of the divisions not far from his office floor. He caught the figure of two women walking hand in hand, one of whom was someone he knew.

Jordan sped up his steps toward the woman who was none other than Aphrodite and Tina who were about to go to the cafeteria.

"Aphrodite's." His call made Tina move and Aphrodite turn to the voice they had just heard. Aphrodite turned around; her two eyes looked towards Jordan who was now approaching her.

"Jordan," he said, smiling at her.

"He who? You know him?" Tina asked looking at Aphrodite with a puzzled look on her face.

"He was one of my acquaintances" he murmured.

"He's handsome." whispered Tina slightly closer her face towards Aphrodite's ears. Aphrodite simply reached out to Tina with a smile.

Jordan halted his steps in front of Tina and Aphrodite. "You're going to lunch?" His words arrived before them.

"Yes. We were just about to go to the cafeteria to eat together."

"Oh, that's how it looks."

"What's wrong?"

"There's something I want to talk to you about. Both of them. Can you?"

Jordan turned his head towards Tina who was standing beside Aphrodite. "Then I go first." Tina was misbehaved when Jordan suddenly showed a smile on her handsome face.

Aphrodite turned towards him. "Then I'll see you there" Aphrodite told Tina, who smiled as she nodded her head and left Aphrodite and Jordan both in her current place.

"So... What do you want to talk about?" Aphrodite asked Jordan once Tina was completely out of their sight and left them alone.

"I want to collect your words yesterday."

"uh? Which one?"

"You said you'd pay my kindness for giving you warm sweet tea back then. Remember?"

"Oh yeah, I remember. Haha.." Aphrodite chuckled softly.

"So, how about you buy me lunch outside instead?"

"Can... but, what about Tina?"

"Just call your friend and tell him you have business with me."

"But I've…"

"Let's go." Jordan grabbed Aphrodite's hand and pulled away from there.

"Wait a minute, I have to tell my friend first."

"Then call. You can call her while you walk, right?" Said Jordan.

Aphrodite walked slightly dragged behind there due to Jordan's oversized and hasty steps.

...*...

Tina was silent in her place. He continued to wander in search of the whereabouts of Aphrodite who never arrived even though he had almost waited long enough for Aphrodite in the cafeteria room.

Tina had been sitting since earlier at one of the tables, the dishes she had chosen had been presented in front of her.

"Jeez, where's Aphrodite? Why didn't he come too?" Tina memonologist.

"Did I just call?" Tina reached for her phone to contact Aphrodite who had not come after they had parted ways a while ago on the way to the cafeteria.

He had not yet reached Aphrodite, a message first drawing his attention. He forgot that his phone was in silent mode which made every incoming message completely inaudible notification sound.

"Gosh, I forgot that my phone is in silent mode. It is fitting that the message from Aphrodite I did not hear." Tina pressed the message notification bar from Aphrodite, she then read the message from her officemate and could only sigh when the friend again did not have lunch with her.

"Huft~" Tina let out a long sigh.

"I ate lunch myself again" he said, turning off his phone and placing a rectangular flat object on the table in the position of the screen touching the table surface. He started eating all the cafeteria lunch this afternoon.

While Tina was eating alone, Aphrodite had just arrived outside her office building after spending a few moments walking down the stairs to get to the ground floor.

"So where are we going to have lunch?" Ask Aphrodite.

"We'll eat at a restaurant near here, '" Jordan said as he led Aphrodite. Walking together with him along the sidewalk that was passed by several pedestrians around him.
