Chapter 3 Part 3

Finally, with great compulsion, I just obeyed the owner of the motorbike. If only I had driven the motorcycle, I would have arrived at my destination long ago.

Because the traffic light showed a red light, Alena stopped her motorcycle.

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

How about this?

Eh, but those who have luxury cars like that aren't just yesterday's people, of course, many people can own cars like that right?

It's up to that person's car yesterday or not, for sure, to avoid something unwanted, I'd better turn my face to the left side.

Luckily, soon the traffic light turned green, and Alena immediately started her motorcycle again.

Luckily again, I saw the car was moving ahead of the motorcycle I was riding.

Huuh ... congratulations! I rubbed my chest, relieved. The situation is back on my side.

"Ainsley, what are you doing, how come you've been silent all this time, not as usual?" asked Alena in a loud voice. You know, it's still on the highway.

"It's okay, I just practicing being quiet," I answered casually. It's impossible, I want to tell Alena about what I've been worrying about, she'll be able to laugh at me later.

"An Ainsley wants to be a quiet person? Until the apocalypse, I won't believe it!" Alena pouted.

"Ainsley! Wake up!" Alena's shout, which happened to be right next to my ear, suddenly surprised me. I, who was still dreaming, sat up reflexively even though my eyes were still reluctant to open.

"What the hell are you, Alena? Disturbing people sleeping! " I said, annoyed. How can I not be annoyed I was sleeping well, but suddenly so surprised.

"You're used to it, it's already six in the morning, we're going to work in an hour. It could be too late if you haven't woken up by now. Remember, it's your first day at work, if you're late, you might be canceled as an employee at the office." Alena said, just like my mother when she woke me up. I miss my mother in the village.

"Luckily, I invited you to stay here, so you had someone to wake you up. Just try it if you are stubborn in your boarding house, it looks like you are late today," Alena said again.

"Yes! I'm going to take a shower." Reluctantly, I got up from the bed. Walking still slightly closed my eyes towards the bathroom.

=========

"Alena, which department am I working in?" I asked Alena when we reached the office lobby.

"Well, why are you asking me anyway? How do I know? Did you not ask Mr. William yesterday?"

"Who is Mr. William, Len?"

Alena rolled her eyes. "Mr. William is the head of HRD in this office, who interviewed you yesterday."

"Ooh...that one...." I nodded in understanding. "I wasn't told which department I worked in."

"So you didn't ask?"

"No. Because I forgot to ask yesterday. Yesterday I was very happy to be accepted for a job without various interviews," I replied.

My friend let out a deep breath. "You idiot! You should have asked, Ainsley!" Alena smacked my head.

"I want to go into the division room where I work. You stay here first, later you can ask Miss Noela, which department you work in."

"You said at that time you needed the same employee in your division. So maybe I'll work with you."

"Not necessarily, because here we are also in need of a secretary for the CEO. So, maybe you are accepted as secretary to the CEO, considering your work experience at the Wijaya Company," said Alena.

"I do. But, I'm not sure I'll be the CEO's secretary, I'm not interested," I said.

"Well, it's better if you stay here first. Later when Miss Noela is there, you just ask her," suggested Alena who then walked away leaving me.

====

Shortly after Alena left, Miss Noela also came. She immediately occupied the reception desk where she was on duty. Looks like she didn't see where I was sitting on the sofa in the office lobby.

I got up from my seat and walked over to the reception desk. Of course, my goal was to ask Miss Noela, like Alena's instructions earlier.

"Good morning, Miss Noela," I said as friendly as possible, with a smile.

"Ooh, good morning, Ainsley," she replied kindly. Yesterday we did get to know each other after I was interviewed in the HRD chairman's room, therefore Miss Noela knew my name. "You've started work today, haven't you?"

"Yes, Miss. But yesterday I was not told in what department, because I just made a job application letter without including the position I want to apply for. Then yesterday I also forgot to ask Mr. William," I said.

"Ooh, I see...." Miss Nela nodded. "Okay, let me take you to Mr. William's room."

=====

After asking Mr. William about which department I was assigned to this office, finally, I got the answer.

I was placed in the same department as Alena, the marketing division. This makes me happy because it means I can adapt more quickly to people in this division. After all, one of them is my best friend.

"Good morning everyone," said Mr. William as soon as he entered the marketing division. I'm behind him now.

"Morning, Sir ...," answered the employees in this division in unison. I saw they were watching me from their respective cubicles. Uh, to be precise, pay attention to Mr. William too.

"Today I want to introduce a new employee at this company, who will be working with you in this division," Mr. William explained and made the people in this room pay more attention to me. "Ainsley, come here." Mr. William coded for me to stand beside him. I obeyed.

"Come on, please introduce yourself," said Mr. William to me.

"Hey guys, introduce, me Ainsley...."

=====

As a new employee at this company, it's not difficult for me to make friends with the people here. Not only because of Alena who I have known for a long time but because most of them are friendly and humble, especially those who share the same room with me.

It's only been a few hours since I met them, I already feel comfortable with them. Chat after chat of course happened between us. Just like right now, I'm in the office cafeteria, with Alena, and my two new friends--Tere, and Jason.

During this lunch hour, we chose to eat in the office cafeteria. These three friends of mine usually eat lunch at a restaurant opposite the office, but since it was raining hard outside, we had to eat here.

"Ainsley, you're fun, aren't you," said Jason, after we had laughed about something incoherent. "Could it be because you are infected with Alena? It's said that you two have been friends for a long time."

"That's good! What I have is Ainsley's infection," protested Alena. "I'm quiet!"

Alena's words just made us laugh. Who would believe her statement just now?

"Yeah, I'm afraid you'll hang yourself," said Jason between laughs. Of course, that made Alena even more annoyed.

"It's okay, you two when you're together you never get along," said Tere interceding, while I was still laughing a little while looking at the expressions of Alena and Jason taking turns.

They were both cute, and it seemed like something was up. I guess I should ask Alena this.

=====

"Len, what do you have any relationship with Jason?" I asked Alena. She stopped the activity that was polishing the powder on her face.

Right now I and Alena are in the toilet, and only both of us are here, so I'm free to ask various kinds of Alena.

"I and Jason are just friends," She answered briefly, but I caught something strange about Alena's tone.

"Serious?" I looked at Alena's eyes tightly, looking for the truth from her. Alena exhaled her breath, like something she hid. Instead, I want to interfere, but as a friend, I have to know about both, so that my future is better in behaving.

" I have been like Jason for a long time. Since I first worked here," Alena said that instantly made me widen my eyes. "Unfortunately, he likes others."

I stroked Alena's shoulder, giving her strength. "Patience ... if a mate will not go anywhere." Alena just nodded.

======

The fate of being a new employee, I was often ordered. I want to argue, but it's impossible.

Like this time, I was ordered to photocopy some files that are quite thick, and quite heavy to be carried by me who happens to have this cute and beautiful petite body.

Actually, in the division room, there was a photocopier, but since the machine was broken and had not been repaired, in the end, I was very forced to take these files to the photocopying place next to the office.

"Ugh, that's heavy," I grumbled as I got off the elevator. I am currently in the office lobby, the intention is to ask for help from Miss Noela but it seems that Miss Noela is not there. Forced to bring their own to the photocopy.

Walking slowly, occasionally looking ahead, occasionally looking at the file that I was carrying with great difficulty, I was afraid that something would fly away in the wind.

"It's quiet in the lobby, no one is there. Miss Noela isn't there, the security guard is also somewhere. Even though I want to ask for help," I said in a monologue as I turned to the right and the left.

Suddenly ....

Bruk!!!

All my files fell because I accidentally bumped into someone.

"You walk with your eyes, don't you?!"
