After traveling for almost half an hour, Ervin finally arrived in front of his towering office building. Seen a security officer immediately ran to greet Ervin's arrival.
"Good morning sir," he greeted respectfully the owner of the company where he worked.
"Morning," Ervin replied. "Park the car!" Ervin threw his car keys which he caught quickly.
"Yes sir," he replied.
Ervin without waiting long went straight into his building. His sturdy steps and charismatic face invite employees to greet him with respect, especially since he is a company leader.
While walking Ervin looked at the watch that was wrapped around his hand. His steps went straight to the elevator that would take him to the top floor where his study was located.
Now and then Ervin returned the greetings of his employees who passed him.
After Ervin got into the elevator that was reserved for him, he immediately pressed a number that would take him to the floor he was going to.
It only took a few minutes for the elevator to reach the designated floor. Ervin immediately came out and headed straight to his room. Looks like his secretary is sitting at his desk with a stack of documents.
"Good morning sir," greeted his secretary as soon as he saw his boss pass his desk and straight into his room.
"Morning," Ervin replied curtly.
Bianca immediately stood up and followed her boss into her room.
"Sir, I have postponed the meeting for the next half an hour," said Bianca after standing in front of her boss's desk.
"Okay, we have a meeting in half an hour," Ervin replied. "Prepare everything for the meeting."
"Yes sir," replied Bianca. "Then I go back to my desk. Excuse me."
"Bianca, please don't make the coffee too sweet."
"Okay sir," replied Bianca immediately went out of the boss's room and went straight to the pantry.
"Bianca, today's meeting will take place or not? I arrived late. Stuck in traffic on the road. Crazy, what kind of traffic jam. If I was pregnant, I might have given birth on the road," said her officemate who was already in the pantry.
"The meeting has been postponed for another half an hour, maybe you weren't there when I made the announcement," Bianca replied.
"Thank God, I think I missed it. You can get fired if you don't attend the meeting."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ervin also arrived late, so I postponed the meeting because the boss hasn't come yet," Bianca said while mixing coffee for her boss.
"Coffee for Mr. Boss?" She asked then.
"Yes, the boss asked," Bianca replied. "What are you doing yourself?"
"Making coffee, my head hurts this morning from being stuck in traffic," she replied. "I'll go first, I want to prepare the files for the meeting later."
"Yeah," Bianca answered simply, stirring her coffee. Then go outside to the Boss room again.
Bianca knocked on her boss's door. "Sir, the coffee." Immediately opened the door that the boss had never locked.
"Keep it here," Ervin shifted some of the documents to give Bianca room to store her coffee.
After putting away the coffee, Bianca went straight out of the Boss' room again. Returned to his desk and continued his work that had been delayed.
After a few minutes passed, the door to Ervin's room opened from the inside. "Bianca, prepare all the files that will be discussed in the meeting."
"Okay, sir," Bianca replied, looking at her watch. "Oh my gosh, I forgot 5 minutes before the meeting starts," she grumbled to himself. Bianca hurriedly took the file that had been prepared earlier. And immediately went after his boss who had gone first to the meeting room.
Ervin entered the meeting room with sturdy steps and high confidence. It seemed that all of the board of directors had been present, only the chairs for him and his secretary were empty.
Ervin pulled his chair with high confidence, on his table there was a nameplate with his name Ervin Wijaya engraved beautifully.
Not long after, Bianca came in with some files in her hands and took the empty seat next to Ervin.
After everyone was present, the meeting began with Ervin chairing directly. Everyone seemed to be seriously listening to the explanations of one by one the people who attended the meeting to express their opinions.
Ervin seriously listens to every suggestion or opinion from everyone. Bianca was also busy jotting down what might be important.
The meeting went on for quite a while because many opinions were expressed by the meeting participants. Ervin listens to and respects all their opinions.
As the owner of the company, Ervin is not a person who only cares about his own opinion but always listens to the opinions of all his employees. That's what makes him liked by all employees because they feel valued.
Everyone has expressed their opinion and everything has been discussed, finally, the meeting is over after a long walk.
Ervin immediately went outside first, followed one by one out of the meeting room. It wasn't long before Bianca came out with the file she had brought back.
Ervin entered his room and immediately drank the water that was on his desk.
The door opened, and Bianca entered with a file in her hand. "Sir, this is the result of the meeting earlier. I have written everything here." Bianca kept everything on Ervin's desk.
"I'll reread it later. Just keep it there," said Ervin, opening his laptop.
"Yes sir," replied Bianca. After putting everything on the table, Bianca headed out of her Boss' office.
Ervin felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He immediately took it and saw Josh's writing on the screen.
"Hello," said Ervin.
Ervin was silent for a while listening to Josh on the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I'll come to your place tonight. But I also didn't promise to come because I might come home from work late. I have a lot of work to re-examine," said Ervin.
Ervin fell silent again listening to Josh speak then not long after the phone hung up.
"Party? What party? This Josh hasn't changed since then, loves throwing parties. The last time he had a party, wasn't it just a week ago? You'll see if I can come or not." Ervin spoke to himself, remembering his best friend Josh's behavior.

Away from the hustle and bustle of a city full of skyscrapers. It looks like Aneska is pedaling her bicycle down the path to get to her destination.
It appears on the right and left sides of the rice fields whose rice has started to turn yellow and will soon be ready to be harvested.
Aneska pedaled her bicycle very carefully, lest she falls into the ditch on her left side.
The wind played with her hair which was tied in a ponytail, her face felt fresh in the wind. "I have to hurry before the vegetables are bought by other traders. I feel sorry for you if you have to sell vegetables that are not good."
Aneska pedaled her bicycle a little faster to head to the vegetable garden.
