Part 13.
Through out the day I worked, my heart still couldn't believe it, that soon I would be appointed as a permanent employee at this company. I haven't gotten my bachelor's degree yet. Just two months, my desire to work as a clerk in this office will soon come true. I became even more enthusiastic about finishing my thesis on campus quickly.
Miss Caterine continues to praise the results of my thoughts at the meeting earlier. She never thought she could have a smart assistant like me. After all, I'm majoring in office administration. My mindset should have been formed because it will soon be graduation.
Regarding office uniforms, Mis Caterine has prepared two pairs of shirts, blazers and skirts that are my size. Seeing the uniform given to my hand, I feel very happy, it's like a dream to be in this office and get a suit like other employees.
Still in a happy mood, a loud noise came from outside. Miss Caterine and I strained our ears. Like the sound of people making noise. His voice was so close to our door. Miss Caterine got up from her seat and walked to the door.
After being opened, two security guards were seen holding a woman. I stood up too and peeked through the gap in the door. The woman in charge of security, isn't it Miss Elsa, Mr. Calvin's ex-girlfriend? Why did he come to this office again, ya?
It seems that Mis Elsa is about to head to our room. What's the matter with the two of us? So I asked myself. As soon as she saw the door to the admin room open, the ex-lover of the CEO's boss immediately went inside while throwing a tantrum.
"Hey, new kid! Because you work here, Mr. Calvin refuses my offer to come back again!" she said while shouting
I was surprised by Miss Elsa's words. What's the deal with me? How can you just accuse people without knowing anything?
"Sorry, yes! Who are you? We don't know each other, don't accuse people carelessly!" I replied while standing in front of the woman.
Miss Caterine approaches Mr. Calvin's ex-lover. She gently expelled the woman.
"Sorry, Miss Elsa, this is an office, there are rules! Don't bring your personal matters here. Finish your business outside with Mr. Calvin!" she insisted.
"The two of them have no special relationship!" explained Miss Caterine again.
Hearing Miss Caterine's words, the former lover of the CEO's boss immediately turned around and left our room. And leave the smell of expensive perfume from his body.
*******
Hearing the continuing commotion in the room, the security forcibly pulled Miss Elsa out of the room to the front of the elevator. With a heavy heart he pressed the elevator button, at the same time Mr. Calvin was standing behind him.
"Wait Elsa!" shouted the handsome CEO. We who heard his voice, peeked from behind the door of the room.
"Why did you come here again? I have already stated, we are no longer in a relationship! How dare you accuse anyone!" he snapped.
"Are you yelling at me, Calvin?" hoarse voice
came from the sexy woman's tiny mouth.
"You chose that new employee over me?!" he accused.
"Go home! Don't make a fuss here!" Throw the CEO boss away while pushing his ex-girlfriend into the elevator.
After Miss Elsa disappeared from sight, Mr. Calvin walked towards the admin room. We who were peeking, hurriedly returned to our respective tables.
The door to the room opened, the handsome CEO was already standing at the door. "Sorry about what happened earlier!" he said, looking at us.
"It's all right, sir! We understand it!"
replied Miss Caterine. I also nodded in agreement.
The CEO turned around and walked away from us. As usual left a masculine scent from his body. I remembered what he said to Mis Elsa earlier.
If I was in his ex's position, it would be very painful, to be gently expelled. After all, why force a love that has ended. Just humbling myself, I mumbled.
Because of this incident, my concentration was broken. Likewise with Miss Caterine, we used this incident as a lesson for ourselves. That not all our wishes can come true as expected. After betraying, just casually apologized.
Indeed, this heart is made of stone, it does not hurt when betrayed. Of course she knows the answer herself. Miss Caterine looked at me then said.
"Claraa ... you don't have to be offended, yes, for what Miss Elsa said earlier!"
"I wonder, why is Mis Elsa accusing like that?!" I asked curiously.
"Because you are beautiful and smart!" said Miss Caterine, laughing.
"Hm, I'm serious, Miss! I'll fight back later, I don't like Mr. Calvin!"
"You speak as necessary, like before!" said Miss Caterine.
"Oh-yeah, break time later, you go to the cooperative room! Take a two-piece uniform complete with a blazer! Tomorrow you can wear it, huh!" She explained.
"Okay, Miss," I said.
I'm sure Mom won't be as happy as I am. Seeing her only daughter working in an office with a bachelor's degree in administration. And I will make my late Papa's wish come true, to become a career woman.
******
When it was break time, after finishing lunch, I headed to the cooperative room to get my office uniform. As soon as I arrived at the room, the cooperative guard already knew what I meant. Though I've never met him.
"You're lucky Clara, can pass the training period for two months!" said the cooperative keeper.
"Why, Mom?" I asked confused.
"Usually new employees, rarely anyone succeeds in passing the training. Because they often fight with Mr. Calvin's ex-lover," he answered.
"I-I see. Miss Caterine also has a story like that, Mom," I said.
"So if Miss Elsa comes to this office again, you don't have to respond. So that she doesn't come here again," he said.
"Thanks for the advice, Mom," I said before saying goodbye.
No wonder he knew, it turned out that the fierce CEO had ordered the cooperative guard to prepare a uniform for me. After making small talk for a while, I excused myself to go back to the study.
Derrtt... derrtt... My phone vibrated in the pocket of the skirt I was wearing. As soon as I looked at the cellphone screen, Mama was calling. I stopped in the corner of the room near the door to answer the phone.
