Nadira was still pensive where she stood. Even the girl was still staring at the empty office lobby.
Then Lisa the receptionist who was about to go to the toilet was a little surprised to see Nadira standing near the office hallway.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Lisa asked Dira.
Dira flinched a little and her gaze was now looking at Lisa. "Ah, I just... I just delivered some documents to Mr. Brahma's room." Dira said.
"Ah, I see.. then why are you standing here? Where are you going, Dira?"
"Umm, I'll going back to my room." Dira said.
Lisa just nodded and frowned slightly when she saw Nadira acting nervous. What's with that girl?
However, Dira turned out to stop her footsteps again. The girl looked at Lisa who walked slowly towards the toilet.
Then Nadira chose to follow Lisa instead. The girl also went to the toilet. She now feels unfocused with her work. Moreover, she had just seen something that she did not know the cause.
Lisa, who felt someone was following her, looked back. She just smiled at Nadira who was walking behind her.
They both went into the women's restroom. And Lisa went straight into one of the empty toilet cubicles. She really wanted to pee.
Meanwhile, Nadira immediately stood in front of one of the sinks. She stared at her own reflection in a rectangular and very wide toilet glass.
She took a deep breath as she washed her hands.
Soon Lisa came out of one of the toilet cubicles. The woman immediately took a dry tissue and at the same time dried her hands under the dryer.
"Are you done with your work?" Dira asked Lisa.
Lisa turned and approached Dira with a smile. "I'm just a receptionist. My job is only to monitor the boss's schedule and announce the meeting schedule. Ah, and also regarding appointments and guests. I should be the one asking you that, Dira."
She chuckled softly. "Looks like I'm short on other questions hahaha.."
"Relax. Why did you follow me here?"
"Ah, no. I just wanted to be alone for a moment."
"What's wrong? Are you feeling tired from your work? It's almost time for lunch. Want to have lunch with me?"
Dira nodded. "Of course, we'll have lunch together later."
"But why the look on your face? You need help?" Lisa asked a little worried.
"Umm, am I the only one who saw what happened in the lobby earlier?"
Hearing this, Lisa's eyes widened. "Wait, you saw that too? Ah, what a fool of me. No wonder you were standing there. And I did go to the toilet to amuse myself. I want to forget what I just saw." Lisa said.
She was silent. There was a feeling of desperation in her mind. Why did Ardian go with Karina? What relationship do these two have?
"Umm, Lisa. Did you know a few things from Karina and Ardian?"
"I don't really know much. I think the two of them are just friends. What's wrong? Are you upset about what happened?"
And Nadira nodded slowly. "I want to be angry, but I don't know anything about their relationship. I'm close to Ardian. Even though we haven't made our relationship official yet, he's already that close to me."
Lisa was of course a little surprised. She just found out that Nadira has a close relationship with Ardian.
"Since when have you been close to Ardian?"
"Umm, maybe about a week ago. Ardian and I met outside the office."
"Ah, I see. Sorry, I don't know. About what you saw earlier, you better not think too much, Dira."
"How can I not think about that? Even though Ardian hasn't stated what my relationship with him is, shouldn't he be that close to other women? It's my fault. I shouldn't have chosen to be close to him. I don't even know him that far." Said Dira a little sorry.
Hearing that, Lisa could understand what Dira was feeling. The woman gently tapped Dira's left shoulder.
Lisa took a deep breath. "Don't jump to conclusions too quickly, Dira. Didn't you see what happened earlier? Karina was almost hurt by her boyfriend. Ardian only meant to help her. Karina has also been out of work for a long time. She must have some personal problems. It's been a while since I first worked here. Calm down first."
Dira silently listened to Lisa's advice.
What Lisa said was true. Earlier, Dira also saw that Karina was almost slapped by another man and Ardian helped Karina quickly. But why didn't the two of them come into the office? Why did Ardian take Karina with him instead and take a taxi?
Five minutes later, Lisa and Dira came out of the toilet. Then they both returned to their respective places. Lisa went to the receptionist, and Nadira went to the general division room.
Dira walked lazily as she entered the general division room. Her mind was still filled with the names Ardian and Karina.
Dinda saw Nadira had just entered the room. The woman stared at her for a moment. Dinda can clearly see that Dira's face is very gloomy. She knew how Nadira's feeling right now.
As for Dira, the girl sat back in her work chair. She sat back and looked at her phone screen.
The cellphone screen displayed a short chat with Ardian. Dira was asking Ardian about lunch. But the girl's message was only read by Ardian.
There was no reply to the message from the man.
Nadira thought for a moment. As long as she is close to Ardian, Karina doesn't seem too fond of her. Karina also once spoke curtly and looked at her so sharply.
If the two of them are just friends, why is there so much awkwardness that she feels? Dira had also seen Ardian looking at Karina.
But Ardian's gaze was different from Karina's. Karina always looked at Ardian with a look of love. While Ardian looked at Karina with a look of dislike. And Dira knows that. What's really going on between the two of them?
