After checking the table set up ordered by the manager, the woman with her hair pulled up in a ponytail immediately sat down on the edge of the table. She smiled as she sighed softly afterward.
It had been four months since she worked at the five-star hotel as an assistant to the Food and Beverage manager, more commonly known as the F&B manager. Assisting her boss in coordinating activities between the kitchen, service, and front-of-house departments in charge of entertaining guests. Of course, the beginning was not easy for the woman named Serena Queen Adhisty. Many people thought she had deliberately sold her body to the director to get a position as assistant manager.
As if she didn't care about the slanted news that hit her, the woman who is familiarly called Serena continued to work as usual. Like now she continues to focus on the birthday event of one of the oil refinery business owners in Indonesia which will take place soon.
"How's it going, Serena? Is everything okay?" asked Tommy - the manager.
"Everything is okay, sir. I have done what you asked," Serena replied with a smile.
Tommy muttered and left without another word.
Meanwhile, at the same time, a white man with dimples that were slightly visible on his face was raising and lowering both eyebrows alternately. Staring at the hotel divisions who were presenting their month-end reports. It wasn't long before a faint smile appeared as there were no complicated issues that required special handling.
"Anything else?" He asked with a straight face.
The secretary who was now the center of his attention became misty-eyed. He held his breath for a moment after staring into the sharp eyes of his superior.
"Nothing, Sir. Everything is as previously scheduled," the secretary replied.
The meeting ended after the man who acted as a general manager left the room. Followed by the secretary who was now following him from behind.
"Sir," the secretary exclaimed with some hesitation.
The boss did not answer and hurried to his office.
"Tell me," he said after seating himself in a chair.
"Today is Mr. Aroon's daughter's birthday party at our hotel. He has invited you to attend. I think it would be best for you to attend. For five years he has entrusted this hotel to celebrate his family's party," the secretary explained.
"Well, I'll say hello. What time does it start?" he asked.
"Seven o'clock tonight, Sir. I've cleared your schedule for the future," the secretary replied curtly.
"You -"
"Sorry, Sir. I was just -" Her words were quickly cut short by a sharp glare from her boss.
"Never mind. Next time ask before you act. I hate being bossed around like this," said the now sour-faced man.
"Get out now!" he ordered without looking at his subordinate again.
It wasn't long before his cell phone rang. He stared sarcastically at the screen and ignored it. It was not until the umpteenth time that she accepted it reluctantly.
["What took you so long to pick up the phone? I heard from Jenny...You're going to the party, right?"] someone from the other side asked.
["Yes."]
["That's good. At least I won't have to replace you for the party. Bara, from now on act like a responsible leader. Don't keep giving me trouble."]
There was no reply other than a mere mumble.
["Barra, did you hear me, huh?"]
["Never mind. You talk too much."]
Tuut...Tuut...
The call was cut off unilaterally.
Adibarra Erlangga. The man who was often called Barra was no longer the sweet figure who was friendly to everyone he met. Eleven years was not able to make him switch to the life that he had gone through until now. He is only able to be gentle with his Mama, who unfortunately is gone now.
She still has Tora as her brother and a father who can still be used as a place to share. Unfortunately, Barra never even mentioned her problems to the two men who were her family.
In fifteen minutes, the event will begin. Barra, who hadn't left his room at all since this afternoon, began to groom himself in front of the mirror. The scent of masculine perfume wafted into every corner of the room. It was obvious that the GM had changed his clothes after freshening up in the private room right beside his office.
"Evening, Sir," greeted several people who passed him.
Only murmurs were given regardless of who the greeter was. That's what the cold-faced boss always did.
"David," Barra exclaimed, turning to the assistant who remained faithfully by his side.
"Yes, Sir. The gift you ordered has been delivered to the session," David reported as if he knew what was going on.
"Good job. Let's speed up our attendance at the party," he said as he immediately entered the elevator reserved for hotel officials.
Although the city of Medan was being showered with heavy rain, the excitement of the event was not disturbed at all. Moreover, the whole concept was held inside the super luxurious Erlangga Hotel in the capital city of North Sumatra, Indonesia.
While in the southern part of the cardinal direction, Serena was seen talking to the waiters and waitresses in a short meeting she had set up. Making sure that her idea could go according to the plan from the beginning. Honestly, she was so nervous because this was her first time getting a direct challenge from the director and manager.
"So tense," greeted a woman who had just tapped her on the shoulder.
Serena choked up for a moment, "Amel, don't make me even more panicked."
"Calm down, Ren. This event will be fun. Especially since you've organized the concept differently from last year. Mister Aroon will like it. It's not monotonous like the previous ones. Cool," praised Amel - Serena's friend since she started her career as a waitress until now.
Serena continued to monitor the event that had been going on since half an hour ago. She didn't even hesitate to replace the waitress role to set an example for her subordinates.
"How is Mr. Show? Do you think it's good? The concept was offered by Mr. Tommy's new assistant," the director of the B&F division said to Barra.
The boss nodded. He smiled at Tommy briefly.
"Even though he's only been appointed for four months, he's doing a great job. Mr. Director's choice is truly amazing," praised Tommy who was now glancing at the division director.
"Just a moment, sir, I'd like to thank him in person," Tommy excused himself.
"Say hello to me too," said the director.
Tommy excused himself and then approached Serena who was busy chatting with the guests.
At first, Barra only turned her face briefly to the owner of the event. But instantly his eyebrows knitted and his forehead furrowed. His jaw began to harden when he saw the figure who had once existed in his life. The woman was smiling at one of the guests.
At the same time, Tommy had arrived near Serena and was now expressing his gratitude. The sight successfully made Barra smile devilishly. His hands clenched into fists accompanied by a nod of his head at the same time.
"Welcome to my kingdom, Serena!" he said while continuing to stare at the figure from a distance. "David, come here. I have an important task for you now. Do it right and don't fail."
"Thank you, Sir," Serena said as Tommy praised her work. The man nodded, "Oh yes, the GM is here too. It's not Mr. Tora anymore like he used to attend." Serena's smile slowly faded as she heard the manager's words. "Keep working, I want to accompany Mr. GM first," said Tommy who quickly left Rena. The woman in the maroon suit immediately nodded slowly. Because she also didn't know who exactly the GM was talking about. Moreover, it had only been three months since the hotel where she worked had changed leadership. Somehow an uncomfortable feeling just arose because of hearing the narrative from the manager just now. Serena's guess seemed to be right. Things were not going well. One of the waiters conveyed an obstacle that made her have to think fast and hard. "This might be Wiwid's doing, Serena. She likes to provoke your emotions," said Amel who overheard the conversation. "Really? Just watch out if she's the mastermind," Serena said almost frustrated.
Realizing that her position was in an unsafe state, Serena stepped back. After a few seconds, her eyelashes moved rapidly. Her body landed perfectly on the couch. Luckily Mr. GM's right arm denied to the back of the soft place. I don't know what would have happened if the two of them had just accidentally collided. With difficulty, the girl tried to get up until she managed to make her body stand upright. A sigh escaped him as he managed to move a little away from his former and current top boss. “Why? Are you shocked??” guess the Barra with a side-by-side position. He smiled obliquely looking at Serena's white and charming petite body. Feeling stared at with strangeness made the master uncomfortable. He didn't know what to say. Greet or even run away from the GM who is in full control at his place of work. Both are confusing choices for Serena. “Sorry, what should I do?” Serena asked after gathering her courage. She smiled, " sleep with me.” Serena nodded as she closed her eyes
Serena only smiled in response to the unnatural order from the boss. Just as the elevator doors opened all eyes were on him. Rumors also seem to have begun to spread. As evidenced by the number of sharp looks as a sign of dislike when you see the girl walking side by side with the number one person at the hotel. "Enjoy your fun time until evening, Miss. Serena," said the GM when the two parted at the T-junction of the corridor. There were no words other than a heavy sigh from Serena. The girl now walks with her face straight without looking at the people around her. There are still a few hours to go before the task is transferred. Serena again continued her steps towards the 2nd floor. The Food and Beverage department is where I work. Amel who realized the arrival of the friend immediately took off his apron and approached the girl. "Serena, are you going to move to the Admin and General Department?" Amel asked as if she couldn't believe the words she had just heard. Serena nodde
Fina immediately laughed when she heard the narration from the friend. It turns out that Serena's attempt to escape from the problem is not the right choice.“You have to be patient, Serena. You can't resign either. What should I help you with?” Fina tightened her grip on Serena's hand.Just a sigh and a slight smile in response to the question.The girl really didn't want to ask for help. He just wanted his old friend to hear what he never told anyone. Only Fina knows her condition until now.Serena wiped away her tears, “Oh yeah how are your wedding preparations going? Is there anything missing? The only time I can help. I'm sorry I had to come here to pick you up. Glad you weren't busy.”“Oh yeah, you are. I gave it all up for Wedding Organizer. You just come. And, of course, My hubby said that he knew Barra. They've worked together many times.”“What does it have to do with me?" Serena asked indifferently. She sipped coffee served by Fina employees a while ago.“Do you have the sa
His forehead slightly wrinkled when he saw the former so familiar with the man before him.“You guys?” The man pointed at Serena and Barra in turn.The girl nodded while Barra shifted her gaze.“Since when did you change Secretary?” asks the man in full view.Again Barra was silent and walked into the meeting room."Do you know Barra?" asked Rena astonished."Sue. He is my brother. He returned from London,” replied The man named Tora.Serena closed her lips. She thought for a moment and then began to look at the phone screen in her hand. The atmosphere was quiet for a moment because they were waiting for the arrival of the orphanage owner where they would do a compensation event.A few moments later Serena nodded her head. As if she understood the information she had just received. Rossy Hotel and Erlangga Hotel have the same owner. Their mother is the owner of Rossy Hotel according to her first name. While there is no need to ask if their father is the owner of the hotel where Serena
Yesterday's incident scared Serena. It seems that she saw a demonic figure when the former almost killed her with her bare hands. Luckily David's appearance could prevent the scene of the attempted murder. Barra immediately freed the secretary's level neck.This morning she was again confused. Serena stomped her feet to the floor after hearing the words of the boss. The girl had to review the orphanage according to the agreement a few days ago. If only the location was within easy reach Serena wouldn't mind at all. Unfortunately, she had to go through an unusual journey. You have to use a boat to reach the remote area. Let her be the type while tapping the workbench in front of her. This scene successfully made the GM publish his devilish smile."Tora?” Serena muttered when she saw the name of the sender of the message on the screen of her phone.Her forehead furrowed slightly as she read the next sentence. It turns out that Tora invited her to meet. Their
Serena's eyes turned red when she saw that the flat object in her hand had fallen. A triumphant smile was imprinted on the GM's face. The man immediately left Serena who bent down to grab her cellphone which was accidentally dropped by Barra.“Why should be like this?” asked Serena who could not contain his tears.She walked slowly to the toilet. Her face is still able to arch a smile after getting bad treatment from the boss. Ah, isn't this what he wants? Since knowing the condition of her body, the girl abolished the word marriage in the dictionary of her life. A man can't marry a woman who cannot give birth. That's what Serena thought.After confirming her messy appearance, Serena immediately stepped outside. Make an online taxi booking and calm down at home alone.***“Are you sure you're not suspicious? I feel like a usurper husband, " lamented Serena while cupping her face and looking straight into the street.“
Inside the room, the GM was struggling with his thoughts. Moreover, Tita openly says that the relationship is threatened with failure. Especially if it is not a negative stigma directed at the proximity of Tora and Serena.A man doesn't have to be a dick to get his dick sucked. But when he heard the name Serena somehow his heart raged. As if to make the former destroyed. Until the sound of a knock dispelled his mind."Morning, Sir. Two more days of events at the orphanage will take place. Something I need to fix or something else?" Serena asked without returning the gaze of the boss.“No," replied Bara who had now turned his face away.Serena sighed slowly and took back the file that had been signed by the GM. Even now the girl does not know which task is pure of a secretary. He was always assigned strange things that made no sense at all. Feeling played. That's how Serena feels right now. All her tasks seem awkward from day to day.Of course, she didn't dare ask Jenny about this. Jus
