Chapter 18 - Unaccustomed

Drrttt drrrttt

The vibration that came from her cellphone that she put in her briefcase made Gabriela couldn't help reaching into her bag to take her cellphone.

Gabriela sighed again when her secretary sent her several schedules that she had to work in the next few days, including her departure out of town for a meeting with the director of the company that worked with her company.

For some reason the longer the work increases and there is no time for him to rest even if only for a moment, if Gabriela finds out the end will be like this maybe Gabriela is not willing to take over the father's job so easily.

"What's the matter, Madam?"

Being too busy with her thoughts Gabriela gasped when she heard Bi Elis's voice that sounded very soft.

"Ahh, it's my secretary just called and told me to go to the office immediately because I have some work to finish for tomorrow's meeting."

"Madam didn't want to have breakfast first, I had already cooked and I only had to warm it up if Madam wanted to have breakfast."

Gabriela shook her head, "No need bi, did you forget if I never had breakfast. Just drinking water is enough to replenish my energy. My stomach is not used to having a heavy meal in the morning."

Even though it's strange but it's like that in reality, from childhood Gabriela was already accustomed to not having breakfast even though her parents often scolded her for never having breakfast.

According to Gabriela, a glass of water is more than enough to fill her energy in the morning but according to her parents it is not enough.

Gabriela had to fill the energy at least using a sandwich and Gabriela obeyed at that time after Gabriela's stomach felt excruciating pain, starting from there Gabriela did not want to fill her stomach in the morning with food, she just filled it with a glass of water.

Gabriela usually drinks warm water but somehow this morning she wanted to drink cold water, maybe because her mood is in a mess right now.

How not, in the middle of his mind who was thinking about his former lover Gabriela also had to think about how his company's career survived.

One of them is that she herself has to intervene herself if she is going to have a relationship with another company, which is what makes Gabriela unable to focus on finding the whereabouts of her ex-lover, whom she has not seen for three years.

"Madam, a glass of water alone will not be enough to replenish energy, moreover Madam's work is very much so Madam must replenish energy with heavy food such as rice or at least bread. If you are reluctant to eat rice, I will prepare a sandwich."

Gabriela sighed looking at bi Elis who was still forcing her to eat her cooking, "Even though only my sandwich will hurt later, I was used from childhood not to have breakfast in the morning so Bibi don't force me to eat."

"Then let me prepare a sandwich for you to eat later in the afternoon. How about you, Madam?"

"Bi." Gabriela's instructions to tell Bi Elis to shut up for a while because she also wanted to talk, "Any form of provisions that Auntie brings for me will end up going to my employees. They will eat it so it's useless if Bibi brings me lunch to the office because I won't eat it."

"Madam doesn't have to eat it when Madam gets to the office, Madam can eat it later in the afternoon."

"Yes I know bi, but I often do not eat lunch from Aunt. I have a lot of work so I don't have time to eat it, if I'm hungry I'll order food or eat out of the office later so you don't have to worry about me eating or not."

"I was worried if Madam often miss meals, no matter how much Madam work, you still shouldn't forget to eat. Mr. Aris has told me to take care of Madam's diet while he is away, I am even willing if I have to deliver lunch and dinner to Madam's office."

"Even though you can order food or eat out, I'm still worried."

"No no." Gabriela shook her head disapprovingly, "Bibi don't have to take food to my office, there's a cafeteria in the office and I can eat there if I'm hungry."

Bi Elis sighed, "I'm just afraid that Madam doesn't take good care of health, I don't want Madam to get sick."

Gabriela nodded her head understanding what Bi Elis had just said, the middle-aged woman indeed cared for him more than her own mother.

"Yes bi I know that Bibi is worried about me but don't forget that I am an adult and can take care of myself."

"Well then... But Madam do not forget to eat during the office, no matter how much work Madam must not forget to eat" Gabriela nodded, "Madam be careful on the road."

After saying goodbye to bi Elis Gabriela immediately went to work using her private car and of course the woman drove her own car without hiring a driver to take her wherever she went. 

Gabriela is an independent woman whose fingers she does not need a driver while she is still able to drive.

Moreover Gabriela is not easy with people she just knows so if Gabriela needs a driver then she will intervene directly to look for him.

She would not allow just anyone to work in his home.

It doesn't mean to be prejudiced against others but Gabriela does have to be careful in choosing people who will work in her house, right?

The woman drove her car at medium speed, the air this morning was quite cold but not to the point of making Gabriela use her thick coat.

Ckitttt

His fingers tapped the steering wheel when his car stopped at the red traffic light, "Arghhh why should I be stuck at a red light, I have to get to the office soon."

Though the red light only lasted for 30 seconds but Gabriela was made angry because she had to stop the speed of her vehicle.

While waiting for the red light to turn green, the woman's thoughts were on the man she had not met this morning, Gabriela also glanced at her cell phone but there was not a single message from Aris. Her husband.

It is not usual for Aris to be like this, usually the man is never absent to always text her even if it makes Gabriela feel annoyed.

"Where is Aris, usually my cellphone is always noisy because there are many message notifications from Aris. Maybe now that Aris is on the plane, he's not texting me. Ahhh yeah never mind why I so expect Aris contact me, let alone no one bother me later anyway."

Isn't Gabriela always annoyed if she gets a message from Aris why now she actually hopes that the man sends her a message today?
