This morning Rumpaka again forced Skyra to go together to the company, he did not allow her to take a taxi. Even though Skyra had tried to refuse firmly because she couldn't go with her boss if she didn't want to stir up a company, she certainly didn't want to be hated by employees who idolize their boss. It feels strange to like a man who is fierce and does not accept forgiveness if someone makes a mistake, the word fired is his primary weapon to form disciplined employees at work. However, for some reason the man's attitude was very different from theirs, his attitude was much nicer and considerate, different from the look when she first met and scolded him for her mistakes in front of other employees.
Skyra continued to mumble in her heart while grumbling as she stood there waiting for Rumpaka who was receiving a call from someone. If she didn't want to upset the guy she might have left a long time ago in a taxi instead of standing here and wasting time.
Now and then Skyra glanced at the clock that was wrapped around her wrist while exhaling her breath which sounded heavy. It was already 07.30 WIB, thirty minutes before work began, and she was still standing waiting for the man who never finished speaking. There is a sense of anxiety if she has to be late again to the office, remembering yesterday's incident where she almost lost her job. However, now her position was with her boss. I don't know, Skyra was confused between being happy or not. Happy for not afraid of arriving late, but afraid of the response of other employees. She is in a bad state right now.
"Why don't you get in the car first? Could it be that you're thinking of taking a taxi?" said Rumpaka who had suspected what Skyra had wanted to do from a long time ago, even with a look that looked like he was going to pounce on her alive.
If the man's ego is fought, of course, this debate will not end, it will spread everywhere, therefore Sky tries to smile and not get carried away by emotions, following whatever the boss says. Because she is an employee and must know himself.
The corners of her lips lifted slightly, showing her crooked teeth so that when she smiled she looked so charming.

The corners of her lips lifted slightly, showing her crooked teeth so that when she smiled she looked so sweet.
"The car door is locked, Sir, how can I get inside? There's no way I can break the window of your luxury car," Skyra answered bluntly
Rumpaka was stunned by Skyra's answer and stared at the car door for a while, he forgot to open it and prevented the woman from getting in. Why did he look so stupid in front of him, was it because he was nervous to make him senile like this?
Skyra just stayed silent while lowering her face, the answer was quite wise and straightforward, but why did it make the man silent for a long time. Honestly, guilt suddenly came to her mind.
"Come in!" Rumpaka ordered immediately to shake off his nervousness after opening the car door. He doesn't usually get nervous in front of women, instead, he looks savage.
"Mr. Rumpaka is serious, shall we go to the office together? What if someone sees us later? I don't want to take the risk?" Sky asked. The same question when the woman was about to leave Rumpaka's apartment unit, even now the question still rings in Rumpaka's ears.
Rumpaka let out a heavy breath, for the umpteenth time he had to accept such a question again from the same person.
"Why do you keep asking the same thing, Sky. Is your brain designed so low, that it's not creative and doesn't ask anything else possible! I'm tired of hearing it, I don't know how many times you ask the same question!" Rumpaka's sarcasm looked funny in the woman's eyes and made her want to laugh.
"Yeah, you haven't answered yourself since earlier, if you had answered I wouldn't have asked the same question. Then, what's wrong with me asking, Sir?" Skyra immediately replied without any fear. She also felt confused by her attitude, out of nowhere came to the courage to bully the powerful man, maybe she was annoyed that the man insulted her brain. If her brain is that low, he can't be accepted into his company, beating dozens of people who want to work at Realtek with a position as Marketing Manager. Sometimes Skyra thought if that man was the stupid one, it was easy to change his attitude from scary to stupid in front of her. However, she did not dare to throw it directly if she still wanted to live.
Rumpaka put on a cold face again with his hands in his pants pockets. He doesn't think it's a big problem and doesn't care what his employees think. However, on the other hand, he also feels sorry for the woman if she gets hated or even bullied, of course, her life is in danger.
"Don't worry, I have prepared it later so you won't be suspected, no one will even be able to see you go with me. Don't be paranoid, I don't like people like that," said Rumpaka while touching Skyra's shoulder, but the man immediately let go again, because he had just touched his heart suddenly beat twice as fast.
"Don't ask any more questions and get in the car," he ordered, leaving the woman who was still looking dazed and started walking to do his orders.
"If I come late, what? Are you going to fire me?" The woman asked again when she was seated beside Rumpaka. Because the little debate with him was a waste of time, especially if you're not stuck in traffic on Tuesday, the streets of the capital city are busy on weekdays. However, she hoped not to get stuck.
The man turned to Sky who was staring at him from the side and tried to lower his face so it wouldn't be too scary for Skyra. Rumpaka had kept the answer in his memory long ago if the woman asked him about her delay again.
"I will still punish you in another way."
"Why can? I'm late because of you alone, Sir? I'm with you right now."
"Wow, it turns out that you talk a lot too, even your attitude is so brave to me, different from your attitude yesterday that looked scared and pathetic."
Skyra's guts immediately shrunk when she heard a high-pitched voice booming from Rumpaka, his true nature came out, and it was strange that she had been talking a lot.
"Yes, sorry. But, it wouldn't be fair if I was given punishment, I was going to go by myself by taxi, but you kept on forbidding me. So, it's not my fault, Sir. One more thing, your attitude has changed a lot too, yesterday was scary and now you look stup …."
Skyra immediately stopped the swear words that were about to escape from her mouth, even though she had tried to contain and filter out the harsh words when dealing with the man.
"Stup? Stup, what? Stupid you mean?" Rumpaka made a mocking face of his incomprehension.
The woman shook her head a few times and tried to smile to dispel the fear of her carelessness.
"N-no, Sir."
In contrast to Skyra that was already frightened, Rumpaka smiled with satisfaction seeing the look on her face, even the woman looked more beautiful in this depressed state.
"Don't worry, the punishment I'm about to give isn't scary. I won't fire you."
Skyra does not believe what the man said, because she saw a smirk that made her suspicious. Everywhere if someone put on a smile like that, there must be something being planned, and not a pleasant one.
"What's the punishment?" asked Skyra who had returned to normal, the depressed face that had been stuck now turned into curiosity.
"Accompany wherever I go, you haven't felt how beautiful it is to accompany Andreas Rumpaka, and enjoy my beautiful body, have you?"
The two women's eyes immediately widened as if they were going to fall, she should have guessed from the start that the answer would still be about accompanying. Nothing more than a jerk on the man's part, even now Rumpaka continues to display an innocent face at his words.
To be continued…
