The sun was starting to dim, indicating that it was getting late. A commotion began to decorate one of the rooms in a travel company that is currently on the rise.
How co? Several employees seed busy packing and tidying their desks, before deciding to go ho. So of them even have gone ho, because they have finished their work early.
"Miss Patricia, you haven't co ho yet?" said a male employee of the finance staff, who accidentally passed Ellena as she was about to leave the room.
Ellen paused for a mont, intending to respond to the man's question. Standing stunned while holding a white cup. Yes, she had just co from the pantry, making a cup of coffee after deciding to increase her work ti by about an hour. Given that there is still so work that she has not finished. It's a responsibility if left alone, until he chooses to work overti.
"It seems that today I will be working overti for a while, I have work that I haven't finished yet." Ellena replied with a wide smile.
"Very well, Miss. Then I will go ho first, excuse ." The tall man seed to be smiling kindly while bowing slightly, showing respect to Ellena.
"Oh yes, please," replied Ellena doing the sa, smiling widely and kindly.
She then went into her room, placed the cup filled with the thick liquid on the desk, before finally landing herself on the swivel chair.
Today's work was indeed quite tiring for her, but she didn't want to disappoint a boss who had been kind enough to give her a job, just by casually unclear. anwhile, she can use the ti at ho to rest fully, without having to think about work.
"Ah, my body feels sore all over." Ellena hissed as she stretched the muscles in her hands.
Rembering the bed at ho that was waiting for her, she imdiately started recapitulating financial reports. Who would have thought, that one hour of ti could be put to good use, until finally she was able to complete her work according to the target.
Ellena rushed out, when the ti was already 17.30 WIB. However, just as she passed the main door of the office building, suddenly a black car stopped in front of her.
Ellena reflexively stopped her steps right beside the car. Slightly stunned staring at the front window of the car, which looked dark and only showed the silhouette of a driver inside.
"Co up!"
Ellena blinked as the car window swung wide open to reveal Richard's figure sitting in the driver's seat.
The man smiled broadly as he waited for Ellena to fulfill him request this ti. Hopefully she won't refuse his invitation again.
"You?" Ellena rounded, then looked left and right, just to make sure no one else was looking at her.
She just realized that the office was already deserted. Only security is seen still standing guard at the post which is a few ters from where she currently stands. She then bowed slightly.
"You're not ho yet?" asked Ellena after refocusing her gaze on Richard.
"As you can see." Richard replied, shrugging his shoulders lightly.
"Why? Weren't you supposed to be ho an hour ago? Did you work late today?" asked Elena curiously.
"No! I was waiting for you on purpose. I know you're working late today," said Richard frankly.
Sohow Richard knew how if Ellena took overti for today, even though two hours ago she went out for a eting with a client.
"How did you know I was working overti?" Ellena squinted, staring curiously. She felt that soone was spying on her activities all day, so she could not escape the supervision of her superiors.
"Oh, co on, Patricia ... we work in the sa office. I don't think it's strange, if I know what you've been up to all day." Richard replied casually.
"Yeah, I know that, but I also know that you're busy. I don't think you have ti to constantly monitor my activities while at the office. Besides, didn't you go out for an outing two hours ago? taking overti today? Are you spying on ?" accused Ellena with a squinted look, as if suspecting her superior.
"Don't suspect like that. I'm not as bad as you think, Patricia!" Richard said as if he didn't accept Ellena's attitude, which was clearly suspicious of him.
"So?" asked Ellena still not satisfied with Richard's answer.
"Go up first, I'll explain after you get on," said Richard.
"But-"
"Co on, Patricia. Don't keep refusing . I just wanted to take you ho. Is that wrong? Think of it as an order from !" concluded Richard while protesting the woman who was still not ready to get into her car.
'Oh, how's this? I tried hard to resist it, but it didn't seem to have the slightest deterrent effect. So, what should I do now?' Ellena thought, starting to wonder.
Instead of answering Ellena was dumbfounded, showing a confused expression.
"How long are you going to stand there? I'm not leaving here until you co ho with !" Richard threatened to have no other choice, in order to want to go ho with the woman who had stolen her attention from the start.
Ellena sighed. There is no other choice. Looks like she really has to fulfill the boss's request this ti.
"You love to push ," said Ellena, forced to open the door and climb into the car. Now she was sitting in the front seat next to Richard.
A happy grin now appeared on Richrad's face. He then drove his car across the highway, after Ellena finished fastening her seatbelt.
The first five minutes, still not one of them spoke up to start a conversation. Either because they are lazy or they are both waiting for the one to start talking first.
"So?"
Ellena, who had been waiting for Richard to speak, in fact couldn't wait any longer. She seed to turn to the man who was focused on driving in front of her.
Richard turned his head for a mont with a smile, then focused back ahead, staring at the road which was quite busy with passing vehicles.
"What you said is true. Two hours ago I went out to et my new client, but since we only t briefly, so I decided to go back to the office an hour ago." Richard explained trying to quell Ellena's curiosity.
Ellena still stared at Richard from the side, without saying anything, as if deliberately waiting for another explanation from the man.
"I was going to your room earlier, but I didn't," said Richard again, which suddenly raised questions in Ellena's mind.
"Why?" asked Elena curiously.
"I overheard your conversation with Rendy. That's how I knew that you were working late today," Richard replied with a smile and turned to look at Ellena for a mont.
"And you were waiting for on purpose?" Ellena stared questioningly, just to confirm her guess. This imdiately got Richard's head nod in response.
"What for? There was no point in waiting for at all. You should have gone ho a long ti ago!" Ellena protested feeling uncomfortable with Richard's attitude which was quite excessive according to her.
"How could I let a woman as beautiful as you be alone in the office, after the other employees are actually vying to go ho first to their hos." said Richard, grinning.
Instead of smiling broadly, Ellena just rolled her eyes. embarrassed. She then turned her head slowly in any direction. Can't understand Richard's answer as if she seems to be trying to tease her.
"Work according to the rules, don't be too pushy to waste your ti and energy. I do like hardworking people, but—"
"It's my duty. Didn't you ask to finish the report today as well?" concluded Ellena did not accept Richard's words as if she was blaming her for taking overti.
"I'm just asking you to finish the report as soon as possible, not that it has to be today–Ah, well, let's not talk about it anymore. Basically I'm worried about you, Patricia. I don't want you to get sick from being too late at work. Do you understand?" Richard replied trying to change the subject.
"But-"
"Next ti I won't let you work any harder." Richard concluded again, not giving Ellena a chance to speak.
"You ...." Ellena trailed off, as doubts invaded again. free. Richard would not be defeated. She just took a deep breath and decided to shut up.
"As you wish, Master superior!" annoyed as she pursed her lips. Don't care about Richard's current status.
Hearing that statent, Richard actually chuckled. I don't know what he thought was funny, what was clear was that his attitude was enough to make Ellena even more furious. Until she glared at him angrily.
"You are so annoying! I think, I chose the wrong company. I shouldn't have helped you at that ti. Just let the pickpocket take your wallet!" Ellena chirps which managed to make Richard perfectly round towards her.
"Are you sorry you helped ?" Richard asked for sure. Ah, he was really disappointed with the statent that just ca out of Ellena's mouth.
"No! I'm more sorry for knowing you. Turns out I was stupid, asking for help from people who love to force their will. Yes, you are very pushy, just like him." Ellena replied not too seriously, until she slipped at the end of her sentence. Ah, why did she suddenly rember Lucas?
Richard's attitude this ti, really reminded her of the figure of a husband far away. She seed to be clenching her lips with one hand, as she realized what she had just said.
"He?" Richard looked at Ellena probingly, not understanding who the woman was referring to. "Who do you an?"
"Hm ... he ... he is my ex-boyfriend." Ellena whispered nervously, as a sign that she was lying.
"Don't compare to your ex-boyfriend. I'm sure your ex isn't much better than !" Richard firmly did not accept.
"But you guys are the sa. I thought they were different, but there's no difference at all!" Ellena replied not caring even if Richard was angry.. Who told her to keep trying to approach her, even though she was repeatedly rejected.
