Chapter 2 Part 2

One.

Two.

Three.

In my heart, I counted, but there was no sign of the owner of the car approaching me. To be precise, there was no sound of footsteps coming towards me who was currently pretending to be unconscious.

Eh, but I should be happy, because that means I don't get scolded by the car owner, because I threw shoes at the windshield of the car.

While busy with my own thoughts, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps that seemed to be walking towards me. Hmm... Maybe the car owner.

My eyes continued to close, as the sound of the footsteps drew closer.

Actually, I can't stand a position like this, but it can't be helped, if it's not like this, I will be scolded.

"Wow, how come you fainted anyway. Isn't this the one who threw the shoe in the windshield, huh?" From his voice, I could tell that it was a man who was quite old. And from his voice too, I'm sure that I won't be scolded, even though I'm not pretending to be unconscious like this.

"Mr. John...." A voice shouted from far away. I don't know who, I'm pretending to faint.

"Yes, Sir." Ooh, it turns out that the person who is looking at me is Mr. John.

"This woman fainted, Sir," argued Mr. John.

"Well, just leave it alone, at least it's just pretending. Let's go quickly," said the person there who had been called 'Sir' by Mr. John. It turned out that the 'master' could tell that I was just pretending to be unconscious.

"Well, Sir," replied Mr. John, who then walked away from my position pretending to be unconscious.

"Haah...." I breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, my acting worked.

After I heard the sound of a car driving by, I opened my eyes, and immediately woke up from the pretense.

Wait... something's been bothering me for a while. Precisely since hearing the voice of someone who was called 'Sir' by Mr. John earlier. How come I'm familiar with that voice huh? But who?

I'm so stupid, the important thing is that I survived the abuse from the car owner. Even though I should have been, I was the one cursing at people because I got my clothes wet.

This morning I was tidy, and getting ready to go to the office where Alena works. There I want to apply for a job, as Alena said yesterday, if there are vacancies open there.

Last night I had prepared a job application letter, along with the required documents. I also attached a work experience letter from the former office yesterday. Fortunately, yesterday Mr. Bobi was willing to give me a work experience letter.

"Okay, Ainsley, you look so perfect," I said confidently in the mirror.

With a pretty good looking face, I don't have to bother to put on make up. I have been beautiful since birth. Plus my skin color is basically white.

Eh, I'm not arrogant, yes, by admitting that I'm good looking. However, there are many people who say that to me, especially the mans, and the former ranks. Uh!

I only use day cream and sunscreen, plus soft lipstick. Simple but quite elegant. Yes, that's what I think, I don't know about other people.

A white shirt coated with a black blazer, and long black pants, became my outfit today.

I'm the type of person who doesn't like to appear open, let alone wear a skirt above the knee, I've never done that while I was in an office. Even though I'm not wearing a hijab, at least I still look decent.

"Drt... drt...." My cell phone vibrated, I immediately grabbed it, and it was Alena who called.

"Yes, Len. "

"Ainsley, are you not applying for a job at my place? " Asked Alena.

"Yeah, so I'm ready, I'll be leaving soon," I replied.

"Yeah, you wait for me to pick you up. "

"Eh, it's okay, Len, I can go alone. After all, your boarding house has been already close to the office, when you want to pick me up first, you might be late, you know. "

"It's okay, like with anyone. Your boarding house is far from the office, Ainsley. You don't have a vehicle either, do you? So it's better if I pick you up. "

"Well, it's up to you."

Okay, I'm not going to turn down fortune from people who want to give you a ride. It's great, it's cost-effective.

#####

"Wow, it turns out that your office has changed, Len. Before, it wasn't as big as this when I used to pass by here," I said after arriving at the office parking lot.

"Not my office, Ainsley," said Alena while looking in the rearview mirror of her motorbike.

"Yes, I mean the office where you work, Alena ...!" I growled.

"Hehehe...just kidding, Ainsley. Come on in, then I'll show you to the receptionist." Alena took my hand, and we started to enter the office.

"Excuse me beautiful Miss Noela," said Alena when we arrived at the reception desk.

"Yeah, Elena, what's wrong?" The receptionist lady named Nela smiled kindly.

"This is Miss, I have a friend who wants to apply for a job here." Alena pointed at me, and I smiled at Miss Nela.

"Ooh, do you want to apply for a job?" I nodded.

"Please have a seat, Miss, because the HR department who wants to interview hasn't arrived yet." Miss Noela showed a long sofa next to the reception desk.

"Thank you, Miss." I went to the sofa and sat on it.

"Ainsley, I'll go to work first. Then you can follow Miss Noela's directions," said Alena.

"Yeah, that's it. Work hard, don't think about your soul mate."

Alena pouted without answering my joke, then she started to leave me here.

*****

"Miss Ainsley, correct?" asked the person in front of me, the head of HRD in this office.

I nodded. "Yes, Sir, I'm Ainsley."

"Congratulations Ainsley, you've been accepted to work here. And you can start work tomorrow."

I was stunned for a moment.

Is this how you get into the Alexander Corp company? Without a test or interview first? In fact, it was only about a minute ago that I walked into this room.

"How about it, Ainsley, are you willing to work for this company?"

"Eh? Oh, yes, I'm definitely willing, sir, I still need a job. But how come, you didn't interview me first, just look at my CV," I said, throwing things out.

"Yes, I don't need your further interview. By looking at your application file which is accompanied by work experience at the Wijaya Company, I believe you are quite a competent person. So without thinking, I accept you to work here."

My smile widens. It turned out that the capital of a work experience letter from my former place of work yesterday made it easier for me to be accepted here.

"Are you serious, sir?" I asked to be sure.

The head of HRD nodded firmly.

Yay... finally got a job again, and didn't become unemployed.

*****

"Huh? Seriously, you just accepted it without asking any questions?" Alena asked after I told her about the news that I was accepted to work in the same company as hers.

"Yeah, actually I was surprised too, when I only had a work experience letter from Wijaya Company, it made me easy to get a job."

"Yeah... Wijaya Company is a big company, Ainsley. You used to fight hard, right, so you can work there."

I nodded. ", the salary is also big, that's why I feel at home working there. Unfortunately, the director is the most badass. If I had known who the real owner of the company was, I would have complained about the old director's arbitrariness, and of course now. I still work there. "

"Come on, Ainsley, forget it, what's important now is that you've got a job again, in the same office as me. Try to remember, it's been three years since we graduated from college, we're rarely together anymore, Ainsley," said Alena..

"Yeah, yeah."

"Eh, Ainsley, you better get ready now, then bring your clothes for work tomorrow along with the rest of the equipment."

I frowned. Confused by Alena's words. "Do what? Where are we going?"

"In my boarding house. Tonight it's better for you to stay at my place. I miss having a long chat with you."

"! Yes, it's just you who stay here, why am I the one who bothers," I protested.

Alena rolled her eyes. "My boarding house is closer to the office, and tomorrow is your first day at work, so it's better if you stay at my place, so I won't pick you up here tomorrow."

"Yes, you don't need to pick me up tomorrow," I said, still reluctant to obey Alena's wishes.

"Do you want to go to work by ? On the first day of entry? Seriously?"

I nodded firmly. "Yeah, what else do you want to ride? My motorbike has been already in the village."

"Oh come on Ainsley, a friend of mine who has a lot of exes. I know you lack discipline, especially since the office is quite far from here. I'm sure you'll be late tomorrow if you leave here. "

Damn Alena, still don't remember my bad habits.

"Okay, okay, I'm coming to you now. " Finally, I relented to follow Alena's words.

Without wasting any more time, I also prepared anything for work tomorrow.

After everything was ready, Alena and I left our boarding house to go to Alena's place.

After work earlier, Alena immediately stopped by my boarding house, while I went straight home when I finished meeting with the head of HRD, without waiting for Alena. Yes, waiting for Alena until the afternoon.

****

"Len, you take the motorbike very relaxed," I protested, shouting a little. You know, this is on the highway, there's a lot of vehicle noise, plus Alena also wears a helmet, I'm afraid you won't hear what I'm saying.

"You don't seem to know, Ainsley. I'm still afraid to take a motorbike since the accident," he replied.

"Come on, let me take the motorbike. Let's pull over first," I suggested.

"No, no, no. I understand very well that you drive your motorbike like a demon. I'm afraid you'll end up causing us an accident. "

"Task! You bastard! If this cake is like this, when are you going to try it? "

"Well, just enjoy it, think you're enjoying the view in the afternoon," replied Alena casually.

It's basic people.

Finally, with great compassion, I just followed the owner of the motorbike. If only I had driven, I would have arrived at the place a long time ago.

Because there was a red light, Alena stopped the motorbike.

I turned to the right, and... My goodness... how come there was a luxury car yesterday?

What to do?
