Daniel and Eldrian (Ziyan) immediately returned to the villa, after having dinner, the two men seemed to have to start getting serious. Daniel, who had received a call from the person in charge of auditing in Kalimantan, received news that there was one of the managers there who was suspected of embezzling company funds.
Whether it is corruption or a bribery case is still not known for certain, it's just that in the last three months the Kalimantan branch has been unprofitable and has almost had a deficit.
That same night Daniel booked a plane for tomorrow morning. Eldrian called Mr. Tony, his driver, to pick them up in Bandung early this morning. Likewise, Mr. Supri wanted his household assistant to prepare clothes and equipment for one week while in Kalimantan.
As the night went on, the atmosphere of the villa became increasingly lively because some of the staff started lighting bonfires and starting entertainment, games, and karaoke events. The sound wa
The plane flew from Husein Sastranegara Airport in Bandung to Sultan Aji Muhammad Sepinggan Airport in Balikpapan, Eldrian and Daniel were welcomed by several of their company's trusted audit staff. They took the two bosses to the car to go to the company's branch office there.Their visit was quite secret so none of the branch staff knew that there would be an audit team accompanied by undercover police (without official uniforms) to start an investigation into the company's budget which appeared abnormal at the branch office.Finally, they arrived, the branch office in Balikpapan was quite spacious although not as busy as in Jakarta. The branch office was created because Kalimantan consumer demand for the latest technology products is also quite large. Bearing in mind that in Kalimantan there are many entrepreneurs in the oil and mining sectors and many foreign workers who are also consumptive in purchasing the latest office technology equipment.Especially if
The company event will take place in two weeks. On Mr. Jason's instructions, Wenny's manager started contacting outbound trainers she knew. Ilona asked Mira and Lusi to help find young musicians and bands who could be invited to come to the music stage. The committee formation meeting will be held today at 4 p.m. Mr. Jason already has a list of staff who he feels are reliable in their respective fields.The manager doesn't want to waste time, he wants all operational problems to be paid in installments today. Suddenly, before working hours were over, all the staff seemed busy. Some older sound systems, chattering, order balloons and knick-knacks, banners, clowns, drama costumes, and so on.Finally, until 5 p.m. almost everyone who was dealing with outbound plans could start to prepare it. The trainer has been received, the chatering has been ordered, the banner design is in place, the telescope and sound system have been ordered, only small preparations such as balloon
It was quite a long night before Wenny and Ilona returned to the apartment, they had fun chatting and ordered some dim sum for dessert. The ramen shop, it turns out, also has a menu of various dim sum and dumplings, stuffed with shrimp, chicken, and crab, the taste is soft with the right sauce so that Ilona and Wenny are still hungry even though they have finished one bowl of ramen noodles.Two beautiful women sat, eating without male company, attracting several single male employees who were looking for prey. Two men dressed as automotive company employees sat where Wenny and Ilona were eating."Hello Miss, is it okay if I sit here?" asked one of them without further ado."What's your name?" asked the other man."Sorry Mr, we're working on discussing, there are still lots of empty seats there, how about you just move there!" said Ilona flatly."Damn, arrogant beauties, what's your name? Give me your phone number and I'll move!" forced the man with
Eldrian Jacob Knight is someone who is being sought by journalists, even at the front of his house. Because Eldrian was afraid that his face would be recorded in the media, he decided to stay at his family's hotel for several weeks. It doesn't mean he can't work but he deliberately moved there to work too. The Kalimantan office problem is over, but after the arrest of several employees, they also have to immediately look for replacements, fix the management structure, make new agreements with clients and many things have to be resolved immediately. "Sir, we need open recruitment for new staff for the Kalimantan branch, especially in the marketing team!" said Daniel one afternoon. "Okay, you just take care of it, also offer Jakarta employees who want to be transferred there additional intensive care!" Ziyan said. "Okay!" Daniel wanted to leave but came back again. "But what if Ilona registers for the mutation?" Daniel teased idly. "It's up to her, if she feels comfortable workin
Ilona looked at Jason's back as he walked away from her. A very good man she thought. Jason may be a widower, but that doesn't cover his charm. Friendly, handsome, smart, hardworking, helpful, and gentle enough for a man who chose boxing as his favorite sport. Ilona saw the parcel in her hand and immediately took it into the car. "Ilona!" calls someone before she can get in and drive her car.Jeremy was seen running towards her. "This is for you!" he said while handing over a box of what looked like delicious cakes from a quite popular cake shop. "What is it?" Ilona was surprised. "Cake! Apologize cake! I'm sorry I was childish, I deliberately bother you and your friends. Do you still consider me a friend?" asks Jeremy with a hopeful face. "Hmmm, it's okay, Jeremy. I think I can understand. I'm sorry too, I can't reciprocate your feelings. But for me, you are my good friend, nothing has changed Jeremy!" Ilona answered. "Thank you, Dear. Emm__ I also learned to cook! But it's st
Ilona continued singing even though some of her friends were starting to get bored and some of them were starting to go in and out of the bathroom because they drank too much tea, a drink made from brewed leaves that has a diuretic effect and causes the drinker to want to urinate continuously. Moreover, the karaoke room air conditioner is quite cold, which supports visitors to urinate. Wenny looked at the clock and it was almost 10 pm. At 10 o'clock their karaoke time ended. There are still 2 more songs left for them to sing. Illona also started to want to go to the toilet, the effects of drinking a glass of lemon tea could already be felt in her bladder. She handed over the mic, took the sling bag she had been carrying everywhere, and went to the toilet.The toilets are clean and there are enough of them, it seems that the management has anticipated that visitors will remain comfortable. When Ilona came out of the toilet, it turned out that Wenny and her friends had also left the ro
The company's charity event will take place in a week, and the staff under Wenny's direction are starting to rehearse the drama today. It was truly a fun event because the entire marketing staff for the next seven days was free from marketing duties and only focused on preparing for the event. They looked serious about reading the drama scenario accompanied by the sound of music which was deliberately played quite loudly."Wow, it feels like a dream of going to the office for work but with no targets, no need to update the website, no confusion about the sales balance!" said Alex, one of the marketing team, while swaying to the music."Yes, indeed, what role did you get, Lex?" asked Lusi."Guardian of work, reader of the king's orders! Oh, I remember when I was in elementary school, hahaha, it's also fun taking care of small events!" he said looking happy."Yeah, it's really exciting, I went with Ilona one day when I surveyed the location of the orphanage, the children are so cute, bu
HeadquartersThe head office began to look like it was getting ready and tidying up when the CEO, Eldrian, started to enter the office again. After a week of having to work in a hotel because he was avoiding journalists. Finally, Eldrian was able to return to work in the office in a relaxed manner without being disturbed by journalists.Several managers seemed to be starting to consult with Eldrian about many pending matters. Not too much, Eldrian only needed to sign some documents and the room was quiet again. There was only one man who remained, namely Daniel, his secretary."Niel, how are the preparations for next week's charity event? Are there any problems?" Eldrian asked."It's safe, sir! There are no problems. All divisions have started preparations!" the answer was formal."Erm, is my schedule busy this week?""Nope, there are only two important meetings, you can more relax this week. What's wrong, Sir?" asked Daniel."I'm going to visit the Marketing Division. I'm curious abo
On the day of the wedding, the EO crew seemed very busy, even though Eldrian didn't meet Ilona for several days, he still prepared well for the wedding. He knew Ilona wouldn't come, but he still dressed up as handsomely as possible in a European bridal white suit which made Eldrian even more handsome."Wow, really handsome!" Daniel teased."Haha," replied Eldrian, forced to laugh."Why is your face so gloomy? Aren't you getting married to Ilona today? You should be happy!"Hhhh..! Eldrian took a deep breath."Why? Why do you think so much?""Never mind Niel, you don't have to come to my wedding! Ilona won't come anyway," explained Eldrian."Huh? How? What are you talking about?""Ilona won't come! I was rejected by her, then she said she didn't want to get married!" Eldrian whispered clearly in Daniel's ear."What?""Shhh! Don't be loud! Only you know!""Crazy! Then if you cancel, why are you still wearing this handsome tuxedo? Why don't you cancel everything?""Because I'm just stupi
Eldrian, who came to meet Ilona, suddenly said something that shocked Ilona."What do you mean?""Just invite all your friends, your siblings, your relatives, we'll get married! Don't think about divorce!""Huh? Isn't this only valid for one year?""What difference does one year or forever make? We're having a wedding!""But__aren't we Eldrian's friends! You're crazy!""Then? Aren't you sad that we started a marriage for divorce? Don't you have any feelings at all?""Wait a minute? What do you mean you're starting to use feelings for our relationship?""At least I like it!""Like what?""Eating together, joking, talking, shopping, I like it when I'm with you!" Eldrian answered."But differentiate between friendship and romance! That's different Eldrian!""Then do you think friends will get married? Our relationship is not normal Ilona! Tell me if you don't care about me!""I care!""Aren't you darling?""I love you!""That means you love me!""Huh! You're so PD!""Try kissing me!""
Arriving at the hotel lobby, Ilona called Eldrian, I don't know what was wrong, but without thinking Eldrian immediately picked up."Yes, what is up?" Eldrian answered."What are doing?""Shopping! Didn't you ask for souvenirs!""Oh yeah? Look!"Adrian immediately replaced the call with a video call."Here!" he said while showing the items when Ilona accepted the video call invitation."Wow! That's a lot! You must have spent a lot of money!""No! It's on a street street! I'm also haggling. I bought a cheap T-shirt and it costs 150 baths per piece," said Eldrian proudly."Hooo! Yes yes! Good!""Hahaha, what are you doing?""This is at home, your staff came to Mama's house with lots of invitations so we are choosing who to invite," answered Ilona."Ah, it's ready, just invite all your friends, and relatives, don't worry about the costs," explained Eldrian."Ah, I hid some of the invitations from my mother!""Why?""Aren't we going to divorce in a year? Why do I have to invite everyone?"
Eldrian, who came to Ilona's apartment that night, shocked Ilona with the information that they would be getting married in two weeks."Don't be crazy! In two weeks it will still be this month!" Ilona protested."Yes indeed, more precisely in 14 days, but I think in 10 days our wedding will take place! Gosh, it's unexpected, Ilona!" said Eldrian looking relaxed."But I haven't even done anything yet! This is Eldrian's wedding!""Why are you so serious, don't you know this is just a collaboration? Don't be too emotional or you don't want to fall in love and be crazy about me!" he said."Huh! The more you talk the more annoying you sound! Go to Thailand already!""Hahaha, hey, don't be so aggressive, we will live together for the next year!""Holy nightmares!""Hahaha, do you want souvenirs? There are lots of unique things in Thailand!" Eldrian offered."Erm, I just want chocolate!""Chocolate? Hey, why only chocolate? Don't you want other souvenirs?" Eldrian was surprised."Emmm, elep
Ilona, who couldn't find Eldrian in the office, immediately sat in the lobby of the head office and started making calls. He didn't expect that the man wasn't even in Indonesia when he received all his calls."Hello? What else is there?" he answered."Where are you?" Ilona asked."I'm__working! Why?""Where do you work? I was in your office but you weren't there!" complained Ilona."Huh? Did you come to my office? Oh, yes, I wasn't there. What's the matter?" Eldrian asked."I withdraw all of our agreements! My mother should scold me then get into big trouble with you!" said Ilona to the point."What? Have you changed your mind? But why? Isn't marrying a rich man every woman's dream?" Eldrian asked confused."Says who? I didn't!" Ilona answered."Why?""Because your wealth isn't everything! Why do you sound arrogant? I liked you better when you were Ziyan!" complained Ilona."But Ilona, try asking your mother if she wants to cancel our wedding. My father's men have even come to see
Ilona and Eldrian agreed they would marry for one year with a stamped agreement. A stupid act that made their relationship even further apart even though they were physically close. Ilona thinks that Eldrian is just a man who likes to play around, while Eldian also feels that Ilona is starting to be as crazy as the other women he is dating because she is asking for wealth as a punishment.However, after Ilona got out of the car and Eldrian also left, they both hoped that they could be together in a real relationship."Crazy! I'm crazy!" Eldrian grumbled cursing himself."What are you thinking Eldrian, marriage! With Ilona? Huh! How can you agree so quickly? Marriage is legal and religious! That means you will soon have the status of someone's husband!" he grumbled again.Phew..!The man sighed, driving his car without enthusiasm."But, Ilona! Yes__ she's Ilona, I'm sure Ilona is different from other women! She won't take my property or take advantage of me, right? But__ can't humans
Eldrian and Ilona's dinner ended with wedding plans for them. Mr. and Mrs. Knight finally went home with happy faces, leaving the two people who were seen starting to argue along the way home."Ian! Are you going crazy? Your parents are planning to hold a wedding party!" Ilona protested."Yes, I know, but don't take it seriously,""What! You just make a joke for all! Huh!" "Please relax!" "Relax? In this situation? It's nonsense! I won't care anymore and immediately refuse when there is an offer of marriage!" said Ilona looking angry."Emm, you can do whatever you want," Eldrian answered, sounding like he was playing around.Different thoughts from Ilona, Eldrian felt embarrassed.He didn't expect that his parents would talk to Ilona like that."Huh, rich men always play with marriage," grumbled Ilona."It's not like that, I'm not even married yet,""Yeah, but you're already planning to mess it up! Don't involve me again in your problem, I don't like to make a fake wedding!""Then
Ilona, who agreed to Eldrian's plan to pretend to be Eldrian's girlfriend, began to feel that there would be quite serious problems for her. Her cold sweat started to come out when Mr. Knight's firm eyes looked at her, from top to bottom."Please, sit down!" he said to Ilona."Thank you," she answers.Eldrian smiled, he didn't seem nervous at all."Why so long time! You always wasting time!" Mr. Knight protested."I am sorry, Dad. So traffic! This place isn't Japan, this is Jakarta!" he explained."Just an excuse! I have ordered a seafood menu, is there an allergy? How about you, Miss?" Mr. Knight asked Ilona."It's okay, Sir! I like seafood," explained Ilona."Good!"Ilona glanced at Eldrian, while Eldian looked at Ilona without hesitation with a very sweet smile."So you guys are dating?" asked the middle-aged man."Yes, that's her! My beautiful girlfriend, Ilona!" said Eldrian spontaneously praising Ilona.Ilona's face was blushed, she didn't expect Eldrian so confident in front
Hearing Ilona's words Eldrian becomes silent. He felt sad because Ilona didn't seem at all interested in having a real relationship with him. He drove with a sullen face as if he wasn't enthusiastic about what he was going to do that day."Why does your face look like that?" asked Ilona, who was starting to realize that the person she was talking to looked different."Nothing!" "Are you sure?" "I hate you!" "Wow! What's wrong!' "Why did you say you don't want to see me again? Is being my friend that much of a burden to you?" asks Eldrian. “Ups, hihi. Come on, I am just kidding! Do not take it seriously!" "But why does your facial expression look like you're in deep thought?" "Yup, I just worried about My first meeting with your parents later!" "Don't think hard, I will take all responsibility and also the risk!" said Eldrian. "Yup! You must, haha!" "Emm, can you share what you think?"" I just thought it was like in a soap opera! Rich people usually prefer to choose someon
