Aphrodite spread her body over the couch in the living room, facing the now-flaming television. Bored. That was what he currently felt, there was nothing else he could do after finishing all his duties at home. Want to go out but do not have a destination and friends to chat with, plus Helen—mama is currently busy enjoying a vacation out of town with Erland, Erland, while Fanny has now started to get busy again with her business, although still in Indonesia but she does not want to disturb him.
Aphrodite raised her head, really she was bored not play let alone her house is now only inhabited by herself.
"What should I do now?" He muttered softly as he looked at the ceiling of his living room. Aphrodite's focus shifted to the clock on the wall, she changed her sitting position so she could more clearly check what time it was.
"Oh my goodness, it's almost lunch time. Then I have to get ready to cook, and then quickly go to Frans' office to send her lunch. He must have been waiting for me to come" he said to help. Aphrodite hurried up from her seat, stepping into the kitchen room to prepare lunch for Francisco at her request.

Wall clocks dominated the entire room he occupied. No other sound was heard except the occasional keyboard sound and the very slow sound of the clock ticking every second.
Jordan, despite having just returned home from abroad is not an obstacle for him to refocus on his office work. The man was even like a robot that was almost tireless at work. Only then did he return from abroad and return home with a mountain of work and documents that he had to check, but in less than two weeks, he can handle everything at the same time and finish it on time.
GECK! GECK! GECK!
The door of his study was slowly knocked by the woman who became his secretary. Jordan switched his eyes from his computer to the woman who was now standing at the door of his room. The woman pushed open the door of her room slowly and stepped inside with a document in her hand.
"This is the document you asked for" said the woman who then handed the document in her hand right in front of Jordan.
"Yes, thank you." Jordan opened the document.
"I'm sorry then." He turned around ready to step away from Jordan's room.
"Oh, yeah. Wait." Wait."
"Hm? Anything else I can help you with, sir?" He turned to look at Jordan who was now looking at him.
"I just want to ask you about the preparation for this afternoon meeting, how? Have you chosen the place?"
"Meeting? Oh. maybe you forgot that today's meeting in cancel and his meeting in re-schedule so tomorrow."
"really?"
"Rubber. So today there's no meeting schedule."
"so yeah. Then thank you for reminding me."
"It's no problem sir. Is there anything else you need?"
"No."
"Then can I go now?"
"Yes. Please."
"good. Excuse me."
"Finally because I'm too focused on my job, I'm forgetting a few things." Jordan massaged his temple slowly, he then tried to refocus on his work but could not, let alone his head had begun to feel dizzy due to the amount of work piling up and waiting for him to finish.
His attenuation switched on his watch. "It's lunch time" he murmured softly as soon as he found the clock on his wrist had indicated it was time for lunch break.
"It looks like I'd better have lunch first, only then go back to work. I can't possibly work in my dizzy head like this." Jordan closes the newly received documents from his secretary, puts them to the other side of his desk and stacks them together with some other documents. When he finished, Jordan decided to go out to entertain himself and relieve some of the stress and tension of his office work piling up.
Jordan decided to eat out of the office, he wanted to eat at one of the restaurants that were not too far from where his office was. A little walk away, he finally arrived at the red light. Waiting for a moment so he can cross over and reach the restaurant he was referring to.

Aphrodite stopped her taxi right in front of the Francisco office. After paying the taxi fare with some money, he went in to meet Francisco.
"This is the first time I've come here, I didn't think it turned out to be quite comfortable in the office" he murmured slowly as he spread his gaze around. Sound ‘ting!’ he heard it as soon as the elevator he was riding arrived at the floor he was referring to.
Aphrodite stepped out of the elevator, passing several employees who instantly switched focus on her arriving in non-formal clothing. Some of them whispered about him, but to Aphrodite it was natural and not strange.
He stopped his footsteps as soon as he arrived at the place he was referring to.
"Sorry, can I help you?" Asked a woman who appeared to be a Francisco secretary to ask him.
"I'm here to see Mr. Francisco, does he exist?" Ask Aphrodite formally.
"At this time he is busy and does not have time to meet anyone because soon he has a meeting that must be attended, if you may know what needs?"
"Oh. Then I just drop this off. Please give it to her." Aphrodite handed the woman a bag of lunch in her hand.
"All right."
"thank you. Then I'll leave first." Aphrodite went from there.
The woman was silent in her place staring at the departure of aphrodite who now continues to step until her figure is lost at the turn of the corridor.
"Who was that, huh? And what does this have to do with the director?" The woman muttered softly, she furrowed her brows in confusion.
Meanwhile, Aphrodite continued to step up to arrive at the elevator door and met a man in a neat suit who came out of the elevator.
"You.." Aphrodite pointed at the man who had just come out. He knew him, they had met him once before but Aphrodite could clearly remember his face. The man slightly bowed in respect towards her. "If it's not wrong we've met before, right?" Ask Aphrodite to make sure.
"really. I am Mr. Francisco's personal assistant."
"Oh…"
"Well, are you going home? Need me to drop off?"
"No need, I can do it myself."
