"Ish! How can you wake up late Nao!" Naomi clicked to herself who was currently walking at full speed into the main door of the company lobby.
Naomi glanced her eyes at the large wall clock hanging in the company lobby and it was already nine o'clock.
Another smack came out of Naomi's lips again, she shouldn't have glanced at the clock because she would have felt very annoyed when she realized that now she was really late.
Naomi accelerated her steps when she saw the elevator door that had been open was now slowly closing.
"Wait! Please someone hold the elevator door!!" Naomi exclaimed hysterically. She no longer cares about the reactions of people in the company lobby at this time, the most important thing for her right now is that there is a good person holding the elevator door from closing until she can enter it.
Tap!
Naomi breathed a sigh of relief as one hand managed to keep the elevator door from closing. She could also see that at the bottom there was a shiny black shoe holding the elevator door from closing.
Naomi stretched out her hand to press the button to open the elevator door so she could enter. After she managed to get inside, without waiting long he stretched out has hand again to press the floor button where his room was.
Ting!
After the elevator door was completely closed, Naomi breathed a sigh of relief again, then turned her head towards the person who was in the elevator with her at this time.
Naomi, who was just about to open her voice to thank that person, suddenly felt her words just get stuck in the base of her throat when she found out who was in the elevator with her right now.
A soft sigh escaped Naomi's lips before she said what she wanted to say earlier.
"Ekhm! Good morning Mr. Ken. Thank you sir for helping me hold the elevator door earlier." Naomi said as gently and politely as possible to Ken who was now standing staring at her. Don't forget to also bow your head slightly to pay respect to Ken.
Ken who heard Naomi's words cleared his throat slowly while nodding his head in response to what one employee at his company said.
"Ekhm Yes, morning."
Naomi, whose words had been answered by Ken, nodded her head slowly and with a little nervousness immediately turned her body to face the elevator door. Now his position was with his back to Ken who was standing behind him.
Naomi was grumbling again in her heart, annoyed, why when she was late like this she had to meet and be in the same elevator as Ken. Is there no coincidence or worse misfortune than you coming late to the office and being found out directly by the CEO of your company.
"Ekm.."
Naomi flinched slightly when she heard a snoring sound coming from behind her, which was none other than Ken's.
"Naomi." Calling Ken with his distinctive bass voice made Naomi gasp, it was like hearing thunder on a sunny day.
Naomi quickly turned around to face Ken.
"Yes, sir? Is there anything I can do?" Naomi asked spontaneously making Ken slightly frown before answering the question given by one of his staff.
"No, it's not about work." Ken answered which made Naomi immediately roll her eyes feeling that she had asked the wrong question.
"Excuse me sir, then is there anything I can help you with?" Said Naomi asked Ken again with a little guilt.
Ken, who heard Naomi asking him again, was silent a little hesitant in his place, but when he was just about to answer what Naomi was asking, the sound of the elevator bell ringing made him and Naomi interrupt and then turn their heads to look at the elevator door.
Ah, apparently the elevator has reached the floor where the finance department is located.
Ken, who saw that his opportunity to ask Naomi was missed, sighed softly, and now his eyes turned back to Naomi.
"I thought maybe I'll ask you another time. Now you may go into the finance department." Ken said which made Naomi sigh a little in relief because she didn't have to linger in the same elevator as the CEO.
"Okay sir, then I will immediately enter the room. Excuse me sir." Naomi said while bowing her head for a moment to greet and Ken nodded his head slowly.
After that Naomi immediately turned around to walk out of the elevator. But when she just managed to get out of the elevator, Ken's deep voice called has name, making her immediately stop has footsteps and turn has body back to face Ken who is still in the elevator.
"Naomi." Ken's call made Naomi now turn around to look at him.
"Yes, Sir?" Naomi replied with an awkward smile plastered on her face at this point.
Ken was silent for a moment in his place then opened his voice to say something else he wanted to say to Naomi. It made Naomi froze in her place.
"Try to continue to come thirty minutes before work hours. Thank you."
Crack..
Naomi who heard Ken's words suddenly immediately froze in place.
Naomi, who just wanted to reply to Ken's words, gave up when the elevator door was fully closed again. And now she could only stand still in place with has arms stretched out to reach the closed elevator doors.
"Gaaaaah! Annoyed annoyed annoyed! Even though I've only been late once this year! But why is the timing so wrong and should be caught by the CEO right away!!!" Naomi screamed in annoyance to herself as she banged her head lightly against the side of the elevator door just like what Zoya had done before.
Maybe the side wall of the elevator door on the finance department floor will always be a silent witness to the annoyed and embarrassed expressions that have been experienced by financial staff employees.
Naomi, who had calmed down a bit, took a deep breath and tidied up her appearance a bit, before walking into the finance department room. She must not look confused in the eyes of has four friends and other finance department staff, because if she looks messy then it will make her the main topic of gossip today.
Therefore, Naomi is now walking into the finance department room with a smile on her face, even though she is well aware that she has violated the company's punctuality rules.
