4. The Boss

At 4 pm they arrived at the office earlier than expected, the streets which is usually jammed, today were quite quiet. Arriving in front of the office, Ziyan saw a familiar male figure. Yup! It was Daniel, his secretary at headquarters. Looks like he will have important business to do. Daniel looked at Ziyan and went straight to him.

“Ziyan, can you help me carry things for a second?” Daniel called Eldrian by his pseudonym.

"Yes, Sir!" Ziyan immediately followed Daniel after saying goodbye to Ilona.

The two men walked out of the office. Ilona felt a bit strange because she didn't know and had never seen Daniel before, moreover, the man was wearing her company's name tag card.

Two men stepped quickly. They immediately left the marketing office towards the front parking lot.

"What's wrong, Daniel?" Eldrian asked.

“Sorry to bother you, Sir. We have to hurry to Dubai tomorrow! You have to go there if you don't want to lose big investors!” Daniel was clear about the purpose of his arrival.

"Okay, please order the tickets, we leave tomorrow!" Eldrian agreed.

"Yes, Sir. I will process it for tomorrow's departure," said Daniel.

Daniel immediately contacted the staff to arrange for his boss's departure. Eldrian got into the luxurious black car that Daniel had brought, He fell silent as if he had something to think about.

“Looks like I won't be able to meet Ilona for the next few days! What an interesting woman!” He thought.

The car was going fast enough to break the wind bringing Eldrian's daydream at the same time. He stared at the sky from the car window, the white lumpy clouds looked more beautiful than usual.

The skyscrapers he traversed seemed to be dancing before him and he smiled again.

The wind blows under the clouds

Carry messages without sound

Whisper faintly in the ear

Warm lonely souls

(Marketing Office Room)

Drrrrr! 

Ilona's phone vibrates. Busy Wednesday, made her not care about some incoming messages. She only work-related calls she answered. Sitting in front of the laptop with a serious face Ilona was fiddling with websites and trying to compose advertising content.

She was thinking about what new concept she could use for her new product before the advertisement was given to the design staff. Ilona often submits proposals and contributes strange ideas, sometimes horror concepts, sometimes comedy concepts, all of which look interesting and can be original advertising ideas that are easy for people to remember.

"Ilona..! Your phone is noisy!” Wenny one of the staff reminded her.

“Okay! Silent mode soon!" Ilona replied.

"Open it first! Who knows there is important news!" Wenny suggested.

"Emm, nope. It's just that my campus alumni group wants to hold a reunion, so they were noisy today," she explained.

"Reunion, you're not coming?" asked Wenny.

"Come on, Wen, that's impossible! How could I? Next weekend I plan to take part in an event at the head office," grumbled Ilona.

“Haha, just come! Who knows, you might get a match, Bestie! Do you want to always be single?” Wenny teased.

Ilona is a workaholic, every day she goes from home to the showroom and then to the office. Ilona turned to look at Wenny while stopping her finger typing on her laptop.

“Shit!” Ilona pouted.

"Ahahaha..." they laughed while continuing to do their jobs.

Suddenly there was a smell of food coming, it smelled really good like chicken in cheese sauce and some black pepper seasoning but there was also a smell of prawns and other nice smells.

"Excuse me, Miss. Food package for Miss Ilona," the voice of the Office Boy staff from the advertising division delivered food from a popular fast food restaurant.

"Food? Delivery from whom?” asked Ilona surprised.

He hasn't eaten and doesn't feel like ordering delivery service food.

"This is from Mr. Jason Miss. He said this all for your Team," the man explained.

“Wow, thank you,” answered Ilona.

Wenny, who was hungry, immediately represented Ilona and thanked the food delivery man.

"It's cool, there's a treat boss!" Wenny began to open food boxes.

“Come on Ilona, ​​eat first! Stop your work and eat! You don't want to get sick to your stomach from hunger, do you? Eat while there is good food!” she asked.

Everything about food, Wenny is always at the forefront and fastest, this petite woman likes to eat. It's just not visible from her posture and as if lost overhauled by her great digestive enzymes.

"Yes, have you eaten first!" Ilona is still busy working on her laptop.

"Oh my gosh, it's not good, it'll get cold soon, come on, eat together!" Wenny begged. “Look at these chicken thighs, the cheese sauce is calling, Lona! Lona! Here! Eat me! I'm delicious! How can you ignore me, Ilona!” Wenny moved the chicken thighs while continuing to chew.

Ilona felt that her friend's behavior was ridiculous, so she finally took a lunch box and a cup of her favorite cold coffee latte.

“Our manager is very kind! He cares about his staff. Maybe he knows that we often forget to eat,” said Wenny.

"Yup, it could be," said Ilona as she started to put prawns in her mouth.

"The food is pretty good, one day how about we just come to the outlet," said Wenny. Ilona nodded in agreement.

Before they had finished eating, Mira and Jenni passed by who seemed to be gossiping.

"Hmm, are you sure?" Jenni asked looking surprised.

“Humph, why are you hesitating? He's been a playboy from the start,” Mira said, looking serious.

Their conversation stopped when they smelled the chicken that Wenny and Ilona were eating.

“Wow, you guys are eating well huh? Share it with me!” Jenni looked happy.

"This is still a lot," Wenny offered.

“Awesome!” Mira and Jeni immediately sat down and munched on the chicken thighs.

"Hey, what are you gossiping about? So exciting!” Wenny is curious.

"Haha, that is astounding! Rendy is dating Siska even though he and Mita have only broken up for a month. How can you feel good at work if one team is an ex and the other is a girlfriend, It's very annoying isn't it?” explained Mira with a convincing face. "It seems that there will be staff transfers because Mr. Howard has heard that their work is not professional enough," Mira added.

"You hear that! Don't date and make a scandal, I'd better be single!" Ilona seemed to get justification.

The three friends looked at Ilona with a pitying mocking face.

"It's too hard to talk to stubborn singles," Jenni teased.

"Yeah, you're right, it seems hard to save!" added Wenny.

Mira patted Ilona's shoulder. “Be patient, Bestie! I know you've tried!” An annoying look was visible on her friend's face.

“Shit! Don't eat my fried chicken! Go back to your division!” Ilona sulked and began to confiscate the food on the table.

"Ahahahaha," her three friends laughed at her naive friend's behavior.

"Yeah, just eat it all, who knows later you can dream of dating a chicken farmer," Jenni teased even more.

"Has anyone ever been sprayed with a hand sanitizer or not!" Ilona took the sprayer on the table as if to dispel an evil virus.

"Gooo...! Ahahahaha,” Mira and Jenni ran away after taking some chicken thighs with them.

Ilona looked at Wenny, and the girl immediately backed away by pushing her wheeled work chair.

“My goodness, Bestie. Just kidding!” Wenny grinned while staying alert in case she was attacked with a sprayer.

"Okay, I will join the reunion according to your suggestion," said Ilona.

Wenny laughed silently and gave a thumbs-up to her best friend.

"Anyway, I leave the event on Sunday to you, no one else understands the matter of launching preparations!" Ilona suddenly handed over the responsibility to Wenny.

“What? Oh, No! But it's okay, I'm willing to sacrifice for my Bestie”, Wenny winked seductively.

"You suck!" Ilona smiled.

“You have to dress pretty for the reunion!” added Wenny again.

"Yup, I know! You are so noisy! What's so fun about having a boyfriend?" Ilona grumbled.
