"Paul?"
"Oh my god, Mila! I miss you so much!"
The woman whose full name is Kylie Paulina immediately embraced Mila without a word, making the one she hugged fell silent in place.
"Why did you just shut up, Mila? You don't miss me, do you?" she asked, in a sharp tone that could scare anyone, that stocky woman.
"No! I also miss you, I'm just surprised to see you here. You work here too?"
And Paul nodded. "Yeah, I'm the finance staff here. I heard from Vega, you are also applying here as a finance admin?"
Mila nodded. "Yes!"
"That's good! It means that if you are accepted, you will work together with me. Oh, I'm so happy!"
Paul was excited to hear that, making Mila also smile seeing her best friend's behavior.
"Oh yeah, where's Vega?"
"Vega? She's still busy. It's normal, she is an HR manager. At least, she was busy taking care of the files for the prospective employees who were tested today. Let's go to the cafe in front of the company, then I'll tell Vega to follow!" Paul suggested, making Mila immediately nod her head.
"Okay, let's go!"
O0O
"It's crazy, we haven't seen each other in a long time," said Paul, remembering how long they hadn't been together like now.
"Right! When was the last time we met? 3 months ago, huh?" Mila responded to her friend's words.
"Yeah, at the high school reunion at the restaurant."
Mila snapped her fingers, then said, "Ah, the one you're drunk on?"
"Not only did she get drunk, but she also patted the ass of all the male friends who came to the reunion. So everyone ran away, for fear of girls as big as Paul hitting their ass!"
In this case, It wasn't Mila who said it. But Vega, who came all the way, and just grabbed it. Which one was discussed, another crucial matter. Weird species, isn't it?
"Damn it, Vega! From what you remember, why did it have to be?"
Paul cursed Vega because he was really annoyed. Unlike Mila, who just laughed on the spot seeing the behavior of her two friends. Mila really missed them. Missed how strange Vega's mind was as well as the excitement of Paul.
"Well, for me, that's the most memorable moment!" said Vega, casually. Making Paul's emotions even more provoked. "Memorable, in your head! You just want to upset me!"
Mila laughed even more when she heard Paul's words just now. Don't be surprised by their conversation, because when they meet, they always do that. Honest and opened. Even because it was so open it sounded a little vulgar. So, it would be better if we just ended the conversation here.
"Oh, you have to stop! I want to order a drink now. Do you want too?" Mila took the initiative to separate the two friends before they could argue further.
"I'm a frappuccino. What do you want, Ga?" asked Paul to Vega.
Meanwhile, Vega stood up from his place and said, "I'll follow Mila and order. Are you just wanting a drink? Not anymore?"
"Yes, I want if you pay for it, I'd like some spaghetti," said Paul, grinning.
While Vega snorted. "Who really wants to pay you?"
"Our manager is really stingy! That's only a few hundred thousand," replied Paul.
"Well, I'll pay for it, let's go!" said Mila in the end.
"Oh, no need! I'll pay for it."
Vega deliberately went ahead so that Mila would not overtake her to pay for their orders.
"I'm surprised that I'm with Vega, why is she so good with you, it's different if she's with me!" Paul complained, while Mila was just laughing again. Mila knew Paul was only joking, she didn't mean what she said.
"Well, I'll order first," said Mila before she actually followed Vega who was already standing in front of the cashier.
"Caramel Machiato is still your favorite coffee, right?" and Mila nodded at Vega's question just now.
After that, the two of them stood not far from the counter to wait for their orders.
"Oh yeah, how's your mother doing, Mil? Her health is good?" asked Vega, starting the conversation.
And Mila nodded. "It's fine."
"Did she still get sick often?" Vega asked because she knew how Mila's mother was doing.
"Yeah, just if she's tired, don't worry. But it's not that often." That's the only answer from Mila.
Actually she didn't really like talking about her mother, because it would make her sad to think about it.
"Order on behalf of Miss Vega..."
And those words made Mila immediately walk to the table where her order was.
But because Mila didn't focus after talking about her mother, Mila took one of the orders that had another name on the paper.
"Sorry Miss, but that's coffee belongs to -"
Byurr...
Mila accidentally spit out the coffee that had just entered her mouth at the man who tapped her on the shoulder earlier.
She reflexively did so because of the bitter taste that tormented her throat.
"Ouh! Oh My God, I'm sorry, Sir!"
Mila immediately put the coffee and other orders on the table not far from her, then took the tissue that was there.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Sir, I didn't mean it," said Mila, wiping the coffee spray on the man's gray suit with a tissue in her hand.
"Miss, let me do it myself - ouch!"
The man complained again when Mila's hand ended up hitting the man's chin, as a reflex when the man suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Ouh my! Oh man, what are you doing with your hands? Your face got hit by my hand, right?"
So Mila got angry. Even though the man just wanted to wipe his own coffee.
"Miss, I can do it myself." That man finally said, making Mila lift her head.
And when her gaze met the man's face, Mila admitted that the man … is so handsome!
"Miss?"
Well, right! Mila daydreamed of being fascinated by the handsome face of the man in front of her.
"Ouh, Yeah? Yes! Sorry, Sir!"
Mila immediately handed some tissues in her hand to the man, making the man immediately wipe the coffee spray on his face because of what Mila had done earlier.
"Mila, why did you take so long – Ouh, Mr. Noah?"
Vega came from behind Mila, and was surprised to see his boss's presence there.
"You know him, Vega?" Mila whispered, approaching Vega who was standing not far from her.
And Vega nodded, but before he could continue his words. The man who was called Noah by Vega then said, "Earlier, I just wanted to let you know that the coffee you brought was mine." He said, pointing to the coffee that had already passed into Mila's hand. Making Mila instantly feel guilty when the coffee in her hand has the name 'Noah' written on it.
"Sorry, Sir, I don't know. Oh yes, this is the coffee!" said Mila, giving the coffee back to the owner.
While Noah just pensive in his place. How could she give back the coffee she had drunk?
"Uh, sorry, I should have changed the coffee, right? Wait a minute, let me order first!"
Mila left her place before Noah held her back.
"No need, Miss! Next time, be more careful. I'll go first, Vega."
"Oh y-yes, Sir!"
Vega was also tense because she was afraid that her boss would get angry.
"MILA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MR. NOAH OMG?!"
Paul came and went immediately excited, because actually she had also seen the incident from a far.
"Couldn't you slow your voice? My ears can be deaf!!" It was Vega, expressing his annoyance.
"Who was that? Your work partner?" Mila asked innocently.
"That's impossible that I have a work partner as cool as that, Mila! If I have a work partner like him, I'm very blessed!"
"And then?"
Mila still has not received an answer to her question.
"He's my boss with Paul, Mila. His name is Mr. Noah, the director of operations at the company who will be your boss too if you are accepted."
"WHAT?!" screams Mila in surprise.
"I'M OVER! HUWAA VEGAA, PAUL! HOW CAN THIS HAPPENED?! OH MY GOD! HOW IS THIS?! DON'T JUST SHUT UP! HELP ME, PLEASE?!"
Mila panicked after hearing her best friend's words, while Paul and Vega could only be silent in their place. Maybe Mila just looks like a quiet person, but when she panics, her excitement beats Paul with her shrill voice.
And without them knowing, Noah was smiling on the spot when he saw the panicked reaction of the woman who had bravely gushed and slapped him earlier.
He was grateful that he decided to go to the toilet first to clean the stains on his coat before heading back to the office. Because then, he could see the scene that entertained him at this time.
