Lexa was lucky because of Bocca's help she arrived on time. Esme was already shaking her head at Lexa who was running trying to reach the attendance machine at her last second. Wearing black pants and a pink uniform shirt with short, slightly messy hair, Lexa caught her breath in front of the attendance machine.
"Lexa, come with me!" said Esme who quickly pulled her hand into the women's restroom.
"What is it?" Of course Lexa was confused and even more confused when the woman handed him a box.
"What's this?" asked Lexa curiously.
"These are all the make-up kit for you," Esme said and Lexa immediately opened the box.
"From whom? For what?" Lexa saw the complete box.
"Of course for you to use during work! Didn't Mr. Berto already tell you to make up little bit? The first day yesterday consider your first mistake! Don't repeat it again!" Esme said clearly.
"I still don't understand. That request still doesn't make sense to me. If he really likes women who can dress up, why did I get hired to work here? After all, what's good about dressing up while there are so many other things a woman can be proud of?" Lexa did not get an answer from that.
"The image of the company! All that is for the company's image. I don't understand why Mr. Berto didn't explain it to you. This company is one of the three best companies in France and one of the ten best companies in the world. Of course all of its employees without exception must reflect that achievement even if it's lowly employees like us! Do you understand now?" Esme asked already looking like a teacher teaching her students.
"Ah, I see. I understand now," Lexa understood.
"Now take this upstairs and get dressed," said Esme, ready to return.
"Why don't you teach me?" refer to Lexa.
"I don't have much time! If the reception desk is empty I can get scolded. Just search on the internet," Esme left Lexa alone.
Lexa is in her own 'workspace' now. Staring at a box of makeup tools that she suddenly had. Lexa hasn't even had time to ask Esme who gave all this equipment. "It can't be Esme right? Is this a company facility? Ah but I don't think the company would be able to waste their money on a complete make-up kit and for an employee like me," Lexa was confused herself still staring at this black leopard patterned box.
Valdo walked leisurely into the Ecole Business School High School, which is indeed focused on business learning. One of the most expensive schools in France and also owned by the Lycaon family which is run by his own mother. Valdo could be said to be the top student in the school. Most handsome, most famous, most respected, and most everything even though he never thought of himself that way. He doesn't like being associated with his mother or his brother. He wanted to be appreciated as a Valdo. Not whose son or brother.
The same reason that made Valdo keep taking the bus even though if he wanted to, he could very well drive a car or whatever he wanted. At least, by taking the bus, he could see and observe real human life. Like when Valdo met Lexa. The girl whose name is still ringing in his mind to this day. Valdo remembers how he accidentally saw Lexa riding with a man this morning. Somehow he felt the need to meet again with Lexa. Moreover, he had promised to visit her at the company. A place that Valdo thought he would never visit. Valdo smiled handsomely making the girls around him seem to melt without them knowing there was another girl who made Valdo smile like that.
"Valdo baby, your smile is so bright this morning? What are you thinking? It must be me, right?" Rose was already sitting on the edge of Valdo's desk.
"You never stop trying!" The smile soon faded from Valdo's lips.
"Why are you always so curt? Do you think I will back down when you treat me harshly? Hihihi. I'm not that easy Valdo," he said in a teasing tone.
"After all, what is the lack of Rose in your eyes, Valdo? She is beautiful, rich, comes from a prominent family!" it was the voice of Anna, one of Rose's best friends.
"Don't make me talk or I'll hurt you all!" Valdo pounded the table and pushed Rose's body slightly so that she wouldn't sit down at his desk anymore.
Valdo is always curt at anyone. He thinks everyone at school is the same. Fake and just want to take advantage of it. Including Rose, who is indeed the daughter of another entrepreneur in the oil processing sector. Yes she is rich and her father's company is big too, but then what does that have to do with Valdo? He didn't like the world full of greed.
Valdo has one friend named Tony. The only person he could trust at the school. Tony is a friend who can enter the high school because he has a smart brain. Valdo's mother is indeed kind enough to give two to three people the opportunity to enter each year for free. Without being charged a penny. Usually Valdo's mother will choose it herself and no one never knows what the criteria are. Tony with straight hair slicked back just stared at Valdo from behind his chair. In any case, he feels inferior when he is said to be a friend of a Valdo. It was the man who approached him first and asked him to be friends, so what could he do. Tony could only shake his head when he saw Valdo was always cursing at Rose.
"Why don't you give her a chance? She's so crazy about you!" whispered Tony.
"You know my reasons!" Valdo replied casually.
"Not everyone only wants benefits from you! There are also sincere ones like me, for example," Tony said convincingly.
"I believe in you, but not in her! She and her father are the same. Hope to work with my brother and I'm sure it won't stop there! They end up wanting to take control of our entire company and assets!" said Valdo confidently.
"Aren't you exaggerating? If you really fell in love with her I'm sure your company could be even bigger. Industrial giants all over the world!" Tony chested.
"What are you doing? Since when are you so obsessed with my private life?" Valdo was a little emotional.
"Sorry sorry. I just don't want you to be too harsh on women. Women can be terrible when it comes to the heart! Especially the type of woman like Rose. I'm afraid she and her father especially will end up getting mad at you! People like them can do evertything," Tony reminded him.
"Then do you think I would be afraid of something like that? Hahaha. Then she should be the one to worry. As long as she doesn't go any further. She's safe!" Valdo's smile meaningfully.
