"Almira are you still angry with me?" Fabian asked, glancing at Almira.
Almira was silent then sighed and looked at Fabian's handsome face. He immediately shook his head. "It's not just, sir, I'm still annoyed, the problem is why can Mr. Fabian separate me from other friends," said Almira.
"Actually, I also have no intention of making you upset like this and I also really wanted to invite David, but he had other assignments, so he canceled," said Fabian.
"I'm sorry," he continued.
"It's okay, sir," replied Almira.
Then he looked back at Almira's face which looked gloomy even though she had apologized. "Then why do you look like a confused person? Remember, we are here to have business cooperation with other companies, so you have to be in a good mood because we will meet important officials of a fairly large company in Surabaya," explained Fabian.
Almira immediately fell silent. "Oh yes, I've been silent ever since," he thought.
"Is there something else I don't know about?" Fabian asked again.
"No, sir, I'm just not comfortable leaving Medina at home alone for the next week," said Almira, who started to tell Fabian her complaints.
"Oh I see, but you have a close relative right?" Fabian asked.
"Yes, sir, but I don't feel calm," said Almira.
Fabian immediately smiled broadly while Almira wondered why Fabian always smiled when he was confused about the fate of Medina there without him.
"Mr. Fabian why? Why are you smiling like that," he said in a tone that looked annoyed.
"You're funny huh."
"Funny?"
"Yeah, it's funny, after all, your sister is already in college and she's grown up and can do anything on her own, but you treat your sister as if your sister is still a kindergartner."
Almira reflexively smiled faintly, it wasn't the first time someone like Fabian spoke like that because many people thought Almira was overly concerned about Medina.
"Yes sir, a lot of people say that. But, how about sometimes when Medina is late but I haven't come home yet I keep calling him so he can come home quickly. He's my only sister, especially after Mama died I feel like I don't have anyone -who else but him," explained Almira.
"Yes, I understand, the food has now arrived in Surabaya. If you are still not calm, try calling Medina.
Almira, who had been holding her cell phone for a long time, was not aware that she forgot to inform her sister. He immediately sent a message to Medina.
"You don't have to, sir, I just sent a message to him when I arrived in Surabaya."
Fabian continued to stare at Almira's beautiful eyes, gratitude echoed in his heart for being able to be close to Almira like he is now, especially now that Almira is no longer shy about telling her stories, unlike before, who was too indifferent and stiff.
"Hopefully in the future, we can get closer, Almira, and sorry, until now I still can't express my feelings for you," he thought.
Even now in the car, the atmosphere is not as cold as imagined by Fabian. Moreover, Almira's presence made him happy because in Jakarta he couldn't be alone with Almira like he is now, whether it was for no reason or there was David who always followed his every step when he intended to be alone with Almira.
"Oh yes, Mr. Fabian, is Mr. David right now? To the point that he can't come with us here or maybe he wants to come tomorrow?" asked Almira curiously because usually, Fabian is always alone when he goes everywhere, it seems that the two of them are a complete package, and if one of them is not present it will be seen and the terrace is incomplete.
"It's not that I'm busy, I just have urgent business. So, my sister wants to go home from America, she said, so I asked David to prepare everything," explained Fabian.
"Oh, so Mr. Fabian has a younger sister who lives abroad?" asked Almira a little surprised because she thought that Fabian was an only child.
"I think Mr. Fabian is an only child," he continued.
Fabian smirked. "No, Almira, so I do have a younger sister who lives in America, many of my family live abroad, which is different from me, who is more comfortable living in Indonesia. Yes, although there they also take care of several branch companies," explained Fabian.
After chatting like that it was time for Fabian to talk about Almira's excellent performance in the company.
"Almira, I want to thank you very much for always being enthusiastic and diligent at work so that you can make the company grow rapidly," explained Fabian, actually it had been a long time since he wanted to thank Almira but he only had the chance now.
"Yes, you're welcome, sir, but the company is progressing and developing not because of me, but because Mr. Fabian is also very good at leading the company. I salute him because, at such a young age, Mr. Fabian can already lead a large company," replied Almira, who instead gave kudos to Fabian.
"You can just Almira," said Fabian smiling.
"I plan to also appoint you as the main director of my company. Are you ready?" continued Fabian.
Then Almira immediately looked quite sharply at Fabian because he was surprised and did not expect it. "What? Chief Director?"
"Yes, Main Director," replied Fabian.
"B-but sir, I haven't worked at Mr. Fabian's company for a long time. There is still much other staff who have worked there for a long time, some have even been up to seven years they are much more experienced than me, who still havenothingngnexexplainededelained Almira modestly.
"Almira, to be honest, at first I also underestimated your abilities in the office, but the more you come here, the more you show all your achievements in the office. You also often succeed in getting big tenders. I think the President Director is suitable for your position in the office. I beg you to accept my offer, I want you to help me even more in advancing the Company," said Fabian.
Almira was silent because she was confused about what to answer, on the one hand, she was very happy because she could quickly advance in her career but on the other hand, she still did not feel worthy when she sat on the Main Director's bench.
"What to do?" Almira thought.
Seeing the look on Almira's face that looked confused in answering his offer made Fabian understand it.
"If you don't answer right now, it's okay, you can think again," said Fabian.
Almira was still silent while staring at Fabian's face.
In his heart, Fabian kept hoping that Almira would accept his offer. Because if Almira has become the Main Director of the Company, she will get a lot of benefits. Not only will his company be more advanced in the future, but he will have more agreements to be alone with Almira because their rooms can also be close together later.
Fabian returned to his car. They went to one of the luxury inns in Surabaya to put on their suitcases and change clothes.
