"Have you found a suitable person?" asked Rafan again, Seno could only gulp.
"Hmm… Yes"
"What ?"
"I found it, Sir"
Seno didn't know why, why he could be so desperate to answer Rafan's question by lying.
Seno... You must die after this. Oh god, help me!
"Okay, try then bring meet to me today, I want to directly interview"
It's over! He felt this event was the end of his life.
"Okay sir" replied Seno, so slowly and full of unbelief.
"Well you can leave it, I want to call a Partner from Malaysia first"
"Okay sir" Seno also came out with a tight chest thinking of how out of all the words he had to be responsible for with his boss, he didn't even know who he should bring to his boss later. You're dead Seno, you're history is over.
****
"Let me help you"
"Oh no ma'am, I can do it" Laras pouring coffee grounds into a cup, in her office there was an impromptu meeting going on, making him dizzy and unable to concentrate on work, so her went to the cleaning service or pantry room to make coffee, calmed himself down and avoided the hectic atmosphere of the office.
Reports… Her was lucky enough to be the one who subscribed to overtime that automatically made her work done faster, so she could relax a bit for now. "Miss Laras doesn't work?" asked the old mother who became the Office girl.
"Yeah, I'm working, but later, I want to have coffee first," Laras replied with a friendly smile. Laras walked towards the dispenser in the room while carrying she cup which contained black coffee grounds, her hand wanted to press the red button on the dispenser, which would release hot water.
"make me a coffee please!"
Laras immediately stopped his movements, his eyes looked towards the source of the voice where there was standing Seno the manager.
"Sir..." said Laras, lowering his head. Seno nodded, then sat on the dining table and chair provided by the pantry room, and Laras continued to make coffee.
"You didn't make a report?" Seno looked at Laras who was making coffee and asked with her.
"Yes, I'm done" Laras replied then pressed the red button again to stop the hot water coming out. Seno watched Laras from top to bottom, everything seemed normal, nothing strange.
Diligent, Smart, Like Overtime, Submissive, not much to say and Hard worker.
Hey, I think She's good!
Seno continued to look at Laras, whispering in his heart about all the benefits of this woman and what made Seno think.
She is very suitable and ideal type!
Laras stood there stirring the coffee, and the woman was about to walk away.
"Laras!" Seno call her.
Laras was taken aback, but he soon recovered his composure. "Yes sir?"
"Please take a seat, I'd want to speak."
Laras remained motionless, her face strained as she glanced at Seno, which had been previously peaceful. "What's the problem, sir?" Laras inquired, but remained seated.
"Please have a seat first"
Laras ultimately obeyed Seno's directions and sat directly in front of him, despite her unease.
"do you want for a raise or not?"
What's that?!
Laras remained silent, staring in astonishment at Seno, who was suddenly talking about a raise, convinced that what he said from the manager's mouth was a farfetched possibility.
"I'm sorry sir, why you...?" Laras inquired, sceptically.
"Just say whether you want a raise or not ?!" Seno inquired once more, serious in his expression as he gazed at Laras.
If there is a raise, there must be a major assignment he must complete, she's already knows the laws of nature, nothing in the world is easy, no one will give something away for free, there must be a reason. It's on the inside.
Laras was ready to move her head again when her realized she was about to shake her head. Seno remarked.
"Double! You can earn twice as much if you want to" Seno stated it once again.
"It's not awful if you can receive a higher wage, you can save it."
The idea of a double, device sounds intriguing, however.... "Sir, what are I'm responsibilities?" Laras inquires.
"The work is not heavy, but the salary is decent, you'll meet me again in my room office after lunch, I'll explain everything later"
Laras was silent, her mind wandered all over the place, why did Mr. Seno send her to your she room office, what is job.
"Here is the coffee sir"
"Wow! Thank you ma'am"
Seno took a sip of his coffee, the pantry went back to work and left the room, leaving Seno and Laras still in their place.
"Don't worry, this is a halal job," said Seno as her put down she's coffee cup and looked at Laras. Laras could only smile slightly, if it was a legal job, it would be great.
"Yes sir, then I'll excuse myself first"
Seno nodded, Laras excused and standing in front of him, leaving Seno who was now alone there, the corners of his lips lifted into a small smile.
One problem is done, Thanks God!

"Good morning everyone"
The clock showed ten o'clock in the morning, Rafan had just entered the meeting room with Seno by his side.
All the employees stood up when they saw Rafan and Seno enter there.
"Morning sir" replied the employees and sat back down after Rafan sat in the front seat which headed them all.
"Okay, let's go, the meeting will start, today I will discuss about our sales products this month, I want to know how far and about what obstacles were found, then the financial statements, everyone, I want to know everything, so please present the results of your reports so far."
The meeting room was quiet as soon as Rafan finished speaking, the employees just looked at each other with worried, scared, and nervous eyes.
"Who do you think will come first for the presentation?" Rafan re-opened the voice that made the hearts of the employees beat even more. Seno, who was sitting right next to Rafan, gave a sinister glare to his subordinates who were none other than the employees, demanding that he move on immediately.
"No one wants a presentation?" Rafan asked again, his cold face could make people nervous.
"Laras you will go first," whispered Celine, nudging Laras' elbow.
Laras immediately shook his head unwillingly, the problem is that in every meeting she is always the one who starts the presentation.
"Yes, you're will go first Laras!" whispered Radit, a cool and annoying man.
Laras shook his head stiffly, but all his co-workers looked at him with a look of agreement with Celine's words, Laras was cornered, with a heavy heart he stood up while carrying his report.
"Yes Laras, please presentation!" Seno said as if telling Rafan.
Rafan was silent, but his hand was raised. "Stop right there!" said Rafan suddenly that immediately made the atmosphere even more tense.
"Laras ? She's again ?" asked Rafan with a raised eyebrow, his face then showed displeasure. "I want something else, not Her"
Laras was so embarrassed, everyone in the room looked at Laras, she is very pity, it seemed that her boss is really didn't like him, maybe her presentation very bad so the boss I don't like her, Laras immediately sat back in his place.
What's wrong with me ?
Why does the boss talk like that?
Seno even watched Laras, his eyes closed with a face surrounded by dark clouds.
"How much longer are you going to make me wait?" Ask Rafan.
"I feel like I spend a lot of money at the end of the month to pay people, but now when I ask for a presentation, where have all those people gone, have they all been fired?" Calm down, Rafan spoke in a calm style but pierced the heart of his interlocutor.
"Seno, is there still anyone here?" Lafan asked sarcastically.
Seno did not answer but his eyes sharpened looking at one by one employee. "Fast Forward!" Seno said with lip movements and a sharp look.
"I'm sir, I'm going to make a presentation" Radit, finally, the man stood up from his seat and made all his co-workers breathe a sigh of relief, including Laras.
Rafan did not answer, but he seemed to be waiting for a presentation from Radit. The man walked forward, where there was already an infocus installed, glaring at the long white board, Radit began to insert his flashdisk into his laptop and began to present the results of his report.
The meeting lasted for two and a half hours, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. Rafan repeatedly asked difficult questions to answer, which prevented the employees from answering, causing him to be angry and reprimand the employees with a sharp mouth.
"When you are still presenting our presentation like this tomorrow, I don't want to know, it is better to write a letter of resignation!"
Brak!
Rafan flung the paper with an incredibly angry feeling, the face was as tense as power storing millions of volts of electric shock, he walks go out and Seno followed him
The meeting was ended, because lunch time, but the employees seemed not to be willing to eat at all, particularly after their supervisor stepped out after angry with everyone.
"Will we die if we were to leave tomorrow?"
"It's so to bad?"
"Yes, but yes, but... I think It's his fault too. We have not made any preparations yet to announce a sudden meeting"
All of co-workers complain about this and that, in contrast to Laras who only kept quiet, the girl is now busy tidying up her things, after lunch time she has to go to Seno room office according under her manager's said, if his offers a job.
"Laras, where are you going?" Celine asked as soon as she saw Laras come out of the room.
"Canteen" Laras answered briefly and walked back.
"That's crazy! After being scolded, Laras can still go to the cafeteria," said Radit, looking at Laras who was walking in disbelief.
