Albert was surprised and then chuckled.
"Have you ever heard someone say something like this? Nothing is instant.
Even instant noodles have to be cooked before they can be eaten. Just like when you are looking for husband." said Albert, made Alika stare at him.
"Do you want to be my husband Al?" asked Alika with sparkling eyes.
"Did your head just hit by something?" ask Albert seriously.
"Huh? You think i'm joking?" Alika grumbled.
"If I become your husband, I can no longer be your secretary and I will most likely become the owner of your property company." said Albert with a straight face.
"Isn't that good?" ask Alika.
"I just don't want to be as troublesome as you are."
"Huh?"
"If I become a troublesome and busy person then I will never be able to be a good owner for Elijah." Alika doesn't believe this, Albert even prefers to take care his cat than to be the owner of a big company.
Is he stupid or what? Alika massaged her temples, wondering why is she even recruited this creature as secretary.
"Okay, if you don't want to be my husband. How about being my contract husband?" asked Alika.
"Still can't, because it would be same troublesome. If I fell in love with you it would even more troublesome." said Albert.
Alika felt annoyed, she massaged her temples harder.
"Well then find me a husband." said Alika.
"Are you interested in a matchmaking soulmate agency?" ask Albert.
"A matchmaking soulmate agency? Yes, whatever it is as long as I can get a husband quickly." said Alika.
"Okay then. I heard that there is a matchmaking agency in the Jakarta. This matchmaking agency often birth many couples that end up having a lasting and harmonious partner." said Albert.
"Well whatever, the important thing is that I want a husband. Tell them if I want a husband with five criteria, firstly pleasing eye, cheerful, rich or poor it doesn't matter the most important thing is that he is like that! Second is good, not stupid, doesn't like drugs or nose piercing. I don't like it, then thirdly he doesn't smoke, fourthly he is good at acting, if I ask him to act affectionately with me, he must be good at acting and fifth he must be good at cooking." said Alika.
Albert listened, he immediately spoke. "It would be better if you also come with me there." said Albert.
"So that you can freely choose which one suits you." he said again.
"Okay, when we are plan to go there?" asked Alika.
"How about tomorrow? Are you busy?" asked Albert.
"If you want tomorrow, just cancel our meeting tomorrow and we must go there tomorrow." said Alika.
"Okay then." said Albert.
Tomorrow morning. Alika and Albert were in the sports car. Alika looked very beautiful at that time, wearing a blouse and short skirt and wrapped by a blazer.
Meanwhile, Albert looked normal. The same as his everyday appearance when he went to the office. The car pulled up in front of a wide field where you can see there were hundreds of cars parked there. Alika thinks that maybe it is the car of the candidates for the matchmaking agency.
Even in front of it, you can see a very large and multi-storey building, like an apartment or a skyscraper in the center of Jakarta. The building was precisely the office of that matchmaking bureau they were looking for.
A little further, this matchmaking agency is called "Angel's cupid" even as far as their eye can see, Alika can see pink and red banners within words "Angel's cupid" all over the field and building.
"Angel's Cupid" is actually a matchmaking agency under the company Angela's group. The company is still new but they are succesfully being a great and fame company, it was able to become the largest company in Indonesia.
This matchmaking is so good at promoting with social media at first, that is lead them to become the fame company in next year. They are even have some branch company.
Since this matchmaking agency has shown its good performance as a place to find the best-selling partner. Beside that this matchmaking is completely under a big company that called Angela's group.
They are contribute very large company wealth of up to 90 percent even npw their company is starting to expand into various fields that will expand their name.
Such as beauty products, branded bags, clothes, diamonds and culinary. Even the owner of Angela's group is very myterious.
As Albert explained about Angela's group and Angel's cupid, Alika listened carefully, she became more and more curious about the company with the highest wealth level in Indonesia.
Even Alika's company maybe lose to that company. She wondered if this matchmaking agency was able to give her what she wanted (a husband) They finally got to Angel's Cupid's building.
Albert advised Alika to sit down because he realized the registration would take a long time.
Alika waited there long enough and then they were advised to go to the second floor. Arriving in the spacious and magnificent second floor hall, there were so many matchmaking participants, just like what Albert see in the book of registration, there were five hundred participant who join these matchmaking.
The host explained about Angel's Cupid, its history, when it was founded, its purpose and how the matchmaking agency started. So detailed that Alika felt very sleepy hearing it.
Albert realized Alika's head was up and down, immediately he touched Alika's cheek with a cold drink.
Alika growled. "What are you doing huh?!" "Make sure you are not sleep." An hour later the speech was finished, for Alika it was very useful speech to be used as a place to train her eyes.
She even heard a speech that waste her time. Can't you just skip the husband selection section? Say Alika in deep heart.
Alika, who felt impatient, whispered to Albert. "Can't we just go straight to the section on choosing husband? If I linger here for a long time, I can become a fossil later." said Alika.
Someone behind their seat seemed to be laughing. Alika was surprised when she turned to see a very beautiful woman behind her.
Like an angel. Even she looks like a doll in Alika's eyes, wait... could she be a living doll? The mannequin that suddenly turned into a human?
The long-haired woman smiled sweetly at Alika, greeting her. Alika smiled back.
Alika is finally allowed to enter a room. That damn Albert even dont come into the room. That secretary is really unfaithful!
A woman with black long hair whom the face similar to a doll is sitting infront, smiled at her. Wait ... doesn't she look like that woman back then? Who sitting behind! That angel! She is so beautiful, charming and kind. She even look georgeus.
But from her look face, this girl looks like still in mid-twenties. Ah no .. maybe just graduated from school anyway.
Never mind ... why she even take this as a problem? That girl suddenly invites Alika to shake hands, Alika tries to reduce her awkwardness with her confidence and intellect.
She accepted her hand and smiled back at her. That girl said. "Introducing, my name is Angela. I am the one who will guide you to find true love that might be worthy of your consideration." said Angela wisely.
Alika surprised by the attitude of this girl who seemed to understood of meaning serve with a commendable and formal attitude at the age that seemed to be in her teens.
But yeah.. that's not the problem. Wait ... What did she say? Consider? Alika feels something with her says. She tried to said.
"Wait, do you mean just now might be worth considering. Could it be that you're willing to give me a husband that I probably wouldn't have voted for?" asked Alika.
Angela didn't really understand what she meant. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, can't i give the criteria just like what i want?" asked Alika. Angela understood what she mean.
"Sorry, you can't, ma'am. The system for selecting a candidate for a partner here is like that. You can't give criteria or anything as you want, but we offer the biodata of each candidate." said Angela.
"Really waste my time."
Alika sighed, she slung her bag and got up from the chair. She is about to leave, but before that she standing infront of her and looked at her watch and said with a straight face.
"Two hours, thirty minutes two seconds." said Alika. Angela didn't understand. "Eh?"
"I've wasted my time here two hours and thirty minutes two seconds, without any certainty and guarantee that my wishes can be fulfilled." said Alika.
