The clock on his wrist showed half past nine at night. Angel closed the last folder with a deep breath, but he refused to give in to exhaustion. For him, work is proof. Proof that he is able to stand in the midst of the harshness of the new environment, proof that he will not be underestimated.
Angel grabbed his bag and went outside; along the hallway he was accompanied by a silence that almost pierced the ears. Usually, public transportation rarely passes in this area at this hour, Angel bit his lip hard thinking about whether he should walk to the next stop or just order a taxi online.
The elevator door opened, a familiar figure stood in it with a suit draped in his hands and a loose tie, his aura felt cold even though the figure didn't say anything. Leo and Angel stared at each other for a few minutes until Angel regained consciousness and began to step into the elevator. he had thought that Leo had come home and that only he was in the office alone.
The atmosphere was quiet, no one started a conversation between the two. They are busy traveling with their own thoughts. I don't know where the wind came from, a Leo started a conversation first, "It's too late for a woman in a building this size alone," he said flatly, without turning his head.
A little made Angel gasp and he squeezed the strap of his bag tightly "I just finished doing the assignment you gave me, so I'm late to come home anyway I don't want to make a mess," He replied calmly even though he was nervous.
The elevator door opened; Leo stepped out first followed by Angel from behind but his steps stopped when he heard the voice again. And, it made her even more shocked and confused again.
"Where do you live?" asked Leo, with a half-head turn.
Angel was silent for a moment "across the city near the playground... quite far."
Leo sighed softly, he looked at his car which was neatly parked in front of the building. I delivered."
I don't know what happened today, there were many things that made Angel gasp in shock. he looked at Leo in disbelief at a CEO who was talked about all day by the office people because of his cold and frugal nature wanted to take him home. It will go viral tomorrow if the office people know about this.
"No, sir. I can go home by myself after all, I'm used to this, it's not good to trouble you." Angel replied quickly politely.
Leo glanced at him without saying a word as he stepped into his car and sat down in the feeder seat. The car walked slowly leaving Angel who was still faithfully standing. Driving calmly, took him to his apartment.
Angel stared confusedly, he thought there would be a repetition of the sentence, but his expectations were too high. "There is a person like him, Angel Angel hopes for your apathy, it's time to go home and there will be no more vehicles". Gum.
He walked to the bus stop, without waiting for the bus to come to him.
"Fortunately, there are still people who are passing," he said relievedly.
After a few minutes, Leo had arrived at his apartment. Leo massaged his temples gently, he stepped into the building he had only occupied for a few months. Because, the distance between his home and office is far away, he chose to live in an apartment which is also part of his business.
Leo inserted the access card into the door of his apartment. A beeping sound is heard, the open door displays a spacious room with a modern minimalist feel. The walls are warm gray, dim lights that are not too bright, and the bookshelves are neatly arranged in the corner of the room. However, the first impression that appears is actually a cold taste like the owner.
He took off his suit and hung it on the hanger near the tie door which had been loose now completely removed, Leo stepped onto the sofa near the mattress put on his tie and sat down with one hand covering his eyes. A tiring day, for some reason the shadow of Angel his new secretary. His stubborn attitude, his eyes full of determination, and also his face kept appearing.
Leo rarely lets his mind be distracted by personal matters. He was used to the stupidity of his name. "Why do you have to think about things that aren't important," he muttered softly.
But the more he tried to distract her, Angel's shadow became clearer. Dizzy thinking about it, he went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water.
There was a sound of gulping, a long day. Leo walked to the balcony staring at the night sky filled with stars. There was a sense of strangeness that began to grow, but he refused to admit it. For him, work is very important, there should be no personal life problems in it.
There are many things that Leo has to think about, not many people know about his true nature. He hid behind cold words. past events, and trauma that still haunts every night. Instead of thinking about the unimportant, he chooses to occupy himself with work.
It was very late at night, I don't know how many hours Leo was sitting on the balcony struggling with his laptop, he was checking the documents sent to him and also some important files. Leo stepped in and closed the door, walked to put away the laptop and then climbed onto the bed by taking off the shirt he was wearing.
Without realizing that a month has passed, Angel is already familiar with office life and knows what to do. he is also a little closer to Leo although the attitude still remains the same.
"Angel, please contact the finance division, tell him to come and see me in an hour, also prepare lunch for me as usual. And also, please clear my schedule tomorrow." Leo said, without looking.
"Okay, sir. but I'm sorry, sir, tomorrow the CEO of the dark group will come, he will tell me to convey it." replied Angel.
Leo raised his head looking at Angel a little sharply, "YOU didn't hear tomorrow, clear my schedule, I don't want to know. And please come out and do as I order." Leo replied again in a snapping tone, for some reason today his mood was in turmoil.
Angel was shocked, but he already knew what his boss was doing. So, he couldn't help but be able to carry out what his superiors asked. With a bent face Angel walked out, he began to do what his boss wanted instead of getting rammed again.
Angel arrived on the 17th floor, the financial division room. He stepped closer to Naila desk the head of the division, Angel was also quite familiar with the dean with Naila.
It can be seen that Naila who is focusing on the computer is not aware of Angel's presence next to her desk.
"Hey Naila, what are you doing."
"Oh, hi Angel, as usual I'm resuming these documents."
"Naila you were summoned by Mr. Leo to his room now."
"If you can figure it out, yes. called for what Angel I don't think there is anything to report now."
"I don't know if he just told me without telling him why."
"But why don't you just call, it's usually like that."
"I want the Administrative Division room to be just everyone, just go right away, Naila, you know how her nature is."
"Yes, I've gone up first, Angel."
Angel walked to the room to the side, he went there to get some documents because until now they hadn't taken him upstairs. It can make one office can get into trouble.
Naila knocked on the door with a bow.
Tok... Tok... Tokyo
There was a voice inside that told him to enter. He opened and closed the door by slowly walking closer to Leo who was concentrating on curling up with a pile of files in front of him.
"Noon sir, you called me."
"Right away, I don't like to waste time, how can you not tell me about the problem in the Newriel city branch if you don't want to work here anymore. THERE IS A DECLINE IN STOCKS THERE AND I DON'T KNOW, what you guys are really doing"
It was clear that Leo's anger emanated from his tone of voice and also his sharp gaze.
Naila, who was already sweating cold, dared to answer quietly.
"Sorry in advance sir, my colleague has sent a report about this and also a copy of the file we immediately sent to your personal email." Naila explained quietly
Leo wondered why he hadn't received the report, he had been in the office for five days and there had not been a single report about this that he had got. His email has been in trouble these past few days so it's only natural that he doesn't read through that copy.
"Who is your colleague? Call him here and also Angel." His tone was very cold.
"Okay, sir."
Naila quickly went out to Angel's room to call her and also called her colleague to come and meet Leo.
"Hosh... Hosh is tired What is the problem this time, Angel, you are called to Mr. Leo's room. "I want to call my friend and call him too." Without further ado, Naila immediately explained everything quickly.
Angel who heard him was shocked what really happened, he was working on several reports to be conveyed to his superiors but why was he called too.
"What's really wrong Naila?" Angel who didn't know that.
"Anyway, if you go there now, don't ask too many questions, Mr. Leo will get angry, there you will also know. I'll wait for my companion first." Naila pushes Angel out of her room and she waits at the door of Mr. Leo's room.
"Ish, what the hell Naila, don't push me, I can still walk alone." Angel frowned slightly.
"Come in," Nala said.
