Chapter 1. New CEO

The atmosphere in the meeting room of the Diamond Star company, which was previously busy, suddenly became quiet after an employee informed that the new CEO of the company was heading to the meeting room. According to reports, the new CEO at the company is very handsome and single but has a bad character. He is very arrogant and irritable. Besides that, he is very sensitive about hygiene issues. He really hated dust. The board of directors of the company who was in the room suddenly held their breath when they heard the footsteps walking closer and closer. The sound of the door opening. Spontaneously, everyone in the room turned toward the door and bowed their bodies. 

"Good morning! ”There was a strong, authoritative male voice. Everyone in the meeting room looked up. "Good morning, Sir." Simultaneously, all of them replied to the greeting. The figure of a man with a tall, handsome face with a sharp gaze without a smile is standing with his palms resting on the table.

 "My name is Leonardo Davidson. I'm the new CEO of this company. Do well if you don't want to get fired. Today's meeting is over!" 

Everyone in the room was shocked to hear the CEO's words. 

"Please come out and get back to work. If you don't want to, you can stay in this room until tomorrow." The CEO continued his words and then turned and walked away from the meeting room. The meeting participants looked at each other. Some of them took a deep breath and then exhaled roughly. dared to say, one by one they came out of the room and went back to work. Leonardo Davidson, the new CEO of the new Diamond Star company, replaces his father Davidson Erico, a wealthy businessman who owns several companies spread across several countries. His mother had passed away long ago. Unlike his father, Leonardo Davidson was very proud. His good looks and wealth made him very famous among women.  Many women want to be lovers. Leonardo Davidson used that opportunity to get every woman he wanted. He was never serious about having a relationship with a woman. He's just having fun and when he gets bored he will leave and look for a new one. With definite steps, he walked towards his room. The office atmosphere is very quiet. No one dared to speak out. When he arrived at the door, he took a tissue from his pocket, wrapped his palms and grabbed the doorknob and opened it. He took a quick look at the tissue and then threw it in the trash box by the door. A few moments later, a man entered. The man was Alfredo Christopher, Leonardo's confidant and best friend. "Alfredo, I'm not going to sit there until you make sure there's no dust on it. One more thing, I don't like the color of the sofa, and also get rid of the flower pots and the paintings on the walls." 

Leonardo said in a stern tone. His eyes stared intently all over the room.

 "I'll do it, sir." Alfredo replied, bending his body. 

"Let me know when you've finished it," said Leonardo and walked out of his room. 

"I don't understand. Yesterday, I sent photos from various sides of this room in full and he agreed. He even said he really liked it, but why is he changing now?" Alfredo is confused. He spoke alone. He had no other choice because he didn't want to get into trouble. He was forced to change it again according to Leonardo's orders. 

*****

After several hours, Alfredo's work was finally done. He also sent a short message to Leonardo. He was waiting at the door, feeling worried.

 'I hope he likes it.' Alfredo said in his heart.

 "What's wrong with you? Why are you closing your eyes? Are you sleeping?" 

Suddenly there was a familiar voice. Alfredo was surprised and then opened his eyes. He saw Leonardo standing in front of him and looked at him in surprise.

 "Go home if you want to sleep." Before Alfredo had time to answer, Leonardo continued his words, then opened the door and entered the room, leaving Alfredo confused. After a while, Alfredo went inside.

 "Thanks. I like it. You can go back to work." said Leonardo as he sat down and checked the stack of files on his desk. Alfredo smiled. He was relieved. "You're welcome, sir. Excuse me." Alfredo said, then left the room. Although arrogant and irritable, Leonardo was a hard worker and disciplined. Before he took over from his father's position, he managed a large hotel and several of his famous restaurants. His eyes stared seriously at the computer screen as he occasionally flipped through the sheets of paper in front of him. Knock! Knock! Knock! The door was knocked. 

"Enter!" 

Leonardo said, then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. "Good afternoon, sir." A woman's voice greets.

"Who are you and what do you need?" 

Leonardo's flat tone sounded without looking at the door. He remained busy with the files he was examining. 

"I am Isabell, your new secretary, sir. I am delivering these files. Sign them, please, sir." 

The woman placed a stack of files on the table. 

"Is there a problem with your eye?" Leonardo asked without looking at Isabell. Isabell spontaneously touched his eyes.

 "My eyes? I have absolutely no problems with my eyesight, sir." answered Isabell with a confused expression.

 "I'm not sure. If you don't have a problem with your eyesight, you shouldn't put all that on a table that's already full of these piles of files." Leonardo said and stood up. 

"I'm sorry sir." The woman lowered her head. 

" I'll sign it later. Get rid of it and keep my desk clean." Leonardo glanced briefly at Isabell with a sharp gaze.

 " I don't like your hairstyle and your lipstick color. You look strange." Leonardo continued and walked out of the room. 

"He almost knocked me out from holding my breath. Why did my hairstyle and lipstick color matter to him? You weird CEO. Too bad, handsome but arrogant and fierce." Isabell snorted in annoyance. 

"Alfredo! Order lunch for me." 

Alfredo, who was seriously typing, was surprised by Leonardo's presence in his room. Hurriedly he stood up and walked over to Leonardo. 

"What do you want to eat, sir?" Alfredo asked with a smile. 

"Almost every day you are with me and you do not know my favorite food?" Leonardo asked back. "Sorry sir, alright, I'll immediately order for you," answered Alfredo.

'He never changes, still bitchy and fierce. However, he is my best friend. He is very good for me.' Alfredo thought, then fiddled with his cellphone to order food for Leonardo.

 "Deliver it straight to my room. You know my taste, right?" Leonardo looked at Alfredo. 

"The right taste and most importantly hygienic." Alfredo answered with certainty. 

"Good. Don't be long," said Leonardo and walked out of Alfredo's room. Alfredo exhaled roughly.

"Patience, patience, patience," he said alone.
