30 DAYS WITH U
47. REQUEST 3

“Alright,” said Mr. Agung after an explanation from Keila about his meeting with Director Rafandra. “I understand. I will try to defend the four of you. It should be from the CCTV footage, it is clear that you are not fighting while Irene, Nuri and Suci are just trying to defend you.”

“Thank you very much, Sir.” Keila took a deep breath of relief at the words of Mr. Agung. 

After that Keila along with Mr. Agung came out of the meeting room and returned to their respective work desks. Right at three in the afternoon, Mr. Agung came out of the editing department room to fulfill a call related to the incident that befell his four men in the Director Rafandra department. Along with that a message entered into Keila's phone. 

\[Tee Rak(andra's name on Keila's phone): I'm sorry, it looks like you have to go home alone today. I have to attend an emergency meeting. Do you not mind?\]

Keila opened the message lazily and reluctantly due to her still unrelenting feelings of anger. But Keila knows well that if she doesn't return the message right now, something bad might be done by Andra and make her position even more wrong. 

\[Keila: I understand. I can go home with my friends.\]

Keila put her phone to her desk and went back to her job again. But a minute later Keila's phone vibrated again signaling the incoming message. Keila glanced at the message and saw Tee Rak appear on her phone screen. Keila reluctantly opened her phone again. 

\[Tee Rak: Can we talk after I get home? I owe you an explanation, Key.\]

And this time, Keila just opened the message and did not read it. Fuck that explanation. Why have you been lying to me for so long? If this doesn't happen, will you continue to hide your identity from me? There's plenty of time for you to tell me who you really are, but why do you keep quiet and make me look like a joke? Keila cursed inside her mind while throwing her phone at her desk. 

Buk. The loud sound of Keila's cell phone with her work desk even sounded up to Nuri, Irene and Suci's place. 

“What happened, Brother Key?” ask Nuri curious. 

“What sound is it?” suci asked while slightly rising from his seat and trying to look at Keila's desk. 

“What Sister is okay?” asked Irene who even deliberately turned her chair towards Keila out of worry. 

“Sorry. I was just upset,” Keila replied by looking annoyed at her phone. “You. . After work what's the plan??” 

Keila's sudden question then made Irene, Suci and Nuri startled at the same time. 

“Tiba once??” nuri and Saints said simultaneously. 

“Ehm, suddenly I don't want to go straight home,” Keila said with an upset face. 

“I'm sorry, Brother. I have a plan with my sister,” Nuri said with a sorry face. 

“Me too,” added Suci as well with a sorry face. “I have to attend a blind date prepared by my Mom.” 

Keila then looked towards Irene and asked, “How about you, Irene?” Keila puts her hopes on Irene, the only person who could possibly help her. But unfortunately Keila caught the same look on Irene's face as Sacred and Nuri's. 

“I'm sorry, Brother. Coincidentally I also had an appointment with my mother to accompany her shopping.” 

“Alright, I understand,” Keila said with a long sigh because of her dashed hopes. Keila had intended to come out alone to repel her feelings, but Keila's phone shook again. Reluctantly Keila grabbed the phone she had thrown and saw a foreign number appear on her phone screen. Curious, Keila then opened the message sent by the foreign number. 

\[Miss Keila. This is Liam. Because the Director is worried about Miss, then I will take Miss home from work later.\]

As soon as she finished reading the message, Keila's mouth spontaneously cursed in annoyance and made the three Keila colleagues surprised to hear it. “Sial! You really are, Andra!!!!”

“What's up, Brother?” Irene was worried. While Suci and Nuri are actually interested in the name of Andra who is foreign to their ears. “Who Andra?”

“Andra is the name of Director Rafandra who introduced to me,” said Keila still with annoyance. 

“So. . That's why Brother doesn't recognize Director??” ask Sacred. “Because the Director introduced himself as Andra and not Rafandra when meeting with Sister?” 

Keila nodded her head. “It's true. Moreover, its appearance when outside and in this company is completely different.” 

“What's different, Brother?” ask Nuri curious. 

“Andra I know wears glasses with slightly messy hair. Always wear casual clothes. Her appearance was completely different from Director Rafandra who was standing in front of me earlier.”

“Why does the Director do that?” The saint who was also curious then asked again. 

“Stop!” sela Irene tries to stop Nuri and Suci's conversation about Director Rafandra and the lies she made to Keila. Irene then looked towards Keila. “Then why was Brother angry? Did the Director do something that made Brother angry?” 

“Ah, I almost forgot about it. Look at this!” keila said with a little shout while showing the screen of his phone containing messages from Liam to his three colleagues. 

“Uwaaahhhhh. .” Shouts Sacred surprise. 

Meanwhile the surprised Nuri could not say anything and just looked at Keila with round eyes. Irene who saw the extraordinary expression of Saints and Nuri, finally took the same choice as Nuri and Saints: approaching Keila's hand. 

Irene then made the same expression as Nuri: unable to say anything due to her surprise with round eyes looking at Keila. 

“What-apain is this, Brother??” the Holy Word does not believe. “After becoming Director's lover now Brother will be escorted home by Liam?? Wahhhhh. . This is really like a lucky streak. Did Big Brother ever save the world in your previous life??” 

Nuri, who had set her sights on taking her phone and then noting Liam's phone number, appeared on Keila's phone screen. “Yoshhh. . I got Liam's phone number. This way I can get to him. Brother, is Brother's request still valid?” 

Keila frowned. “What request??” 

“Didn't Brother ask me to accompany Brother??” said Nuri with her sneaky eyes. “I will come with Brother from Liam also come.” 

“I too,” added Suci. “I also want to join.” 

“What kind of friend are you guys?” irene said after arranging her own shock. “So you said that you all are busy and do not have time for Kak Key, why now you change just because you know Liam will take Kak Key home??” 

“Who doesn't want to meet with Liam?” said Nuri. 

“I,” Irene replied quickly. 

Nuri glanced sharply at Irene followed by Saints. “You know I'm a fan of Liam besides our young director. But since our young director already has Kak Key, then my only hope is to get Liam's heart.” 

“That's right,” add Sacred.

A long debate then ensued between Sacred Irene and Nuri who were actually all three Liam fans. It's just that Irene is not like Suci and Nuri who easily say that she is a fan of someone. Meanwhile Keila who saw the small debate, could only smile a little while talking in her heart. They really. . I'm grateful to have colleagues like them.

Like the message sent to Keila, Liam was actually waiting in the company lobby when the return hour arrived. 

“Have you been waiting for me too long, Liam?” keila asked a little nervously. 

Keila's nervousness wasn't coming from her as this wasn't the first time Keila had spoken to Liam. Keila's nervousness came from her three co-workers who came with her down from the third floor together and looked at Liam with gazes as if they were looking at a sumptuous meal and wanted to enjoy it alone. 

“Not too long, Miss Keila.” Liam smiled back at Keila. Liam then gave a glance towards the three women standing to the right and left of Keila. “They. .” 

“Ah them,” Keila looked towards her right and left with a chuckle. “They are my coworkers as well as my juniors. They want to meet you, do you mind, Liam?” 

Liam smiled again and his smile managed to make Saints, Nuri and Irene melt. 

“Of course not. Introduce my name Liam, chief assistant or rather chief secretary of Director Rafandra.” Liam then extended his hand to get acquainted. 

Suci and Nuri then scramble to shake Liam's hand and make Keila cover her face with her hand out of embarrassment by Nuri and Saints' deeds. 

“I Nuri.” 

“I'm Holy.” 

After Liam shook Nuri's and Saints' hands in turn, Liam then extended his hand towards Irene and asked. “Then the last one??” 

Irene then shook Liam's hand with some hesitation due to feeling a little embarrassed. “I-Irene.” 

After shaking the hands of Irene, Suci and Nuri, Liam then smiled again and said, “Greetings, Irene, Suci and Nuri. Hopefully we can be good partners.” 

Hearing that Saints and Nuri smiled widely as if they were completely unable to resist the warm smile from Liam which was his trademark. Liam's charm actually managed to make Saints, Nuri and Irene then go home with a happy smile on their lips. 

I think Saints and Nuri probably won't wash their hands like fans who shake hands with their idols. I was curious about Irene. Keila thoughtfully imagined the three colleagues when she saw the three comrades walking home leaving her along with Liam. 

“Let's go home, Miss Keila!” take Liam to point to the emergency stairs.
