Ex Sucks!
Go Both

Knowing Alula's true background, certainly made Shenina discouraged as a friend. How not, she is a girl who lives a kara, has no possessions but is friendly with Alula who is a subsidiary owner of the company.

And not only that, Alula was also the lover of Refal, her former lover who is now her boss. Even Shenina heard for herself about the engagement plans of the two of them that might be implemented in the near future.

Had Shenina known who Alula really was, Shenina would have chosen to keep her distance from Alula so that she was not in this situation and position.

Oh really, Shenina's life now feels in a Bermuda triangle vortex that will make her die in the air without any gap to be able to get out and breathe freely. Minimum for the next year.

"Shenina. at 9 o'clock you accompany Mr. Refal to a meeting in the BSD area, yes, meet the owner of the largest tea plantation in Bandung for our new company projects." Vira said as Shenina had just sat herself in her chair this morning.

"I? not wrong with mba?" Shenina asked gawking.

Although Shenina was Refal's personal assistant, Shenina had never once been asked to accompany Refal to work outside the office for more than a week. Refal chooses to take Vira, his secretary.

"No. Emang you should be Shen who is more accompanying Mr. Refal, you are his personal assistant. Oh yes, Mr. Refal asked you to check back the presentation file for the tea plantation in Bandung. Make sure everything is perfect so that Mr. Refal can attract the plantation owner for cooperation." Said Vira again.

"Each mba. thanks for the info." Shenina replied with a smile.

Since working in one of the offices of Wishnutama International Corporation, Shenina has promised to be a smile-friendly person and learn to open up to others. Slowly but surely Shenina has started to get along with some of the employees at WIC despite the new employees on the 20th floor.

"What problem do you have with Mr. Refal Shen?" Ask Vira who is interested in the relationship between the boss and his personal assistant.

Vira's gaze full of questioning on Shenina made Shenina stop her activities in front of the computer screen.

"The problem? No problem mba." Shenina replied calmly. Shenina is the ultimate champion to hide her true feelings.

"But why if there's anything to do with your work, Mr. Refal passed me? why not talk to you?"

Shenina also felt strange with Rebal's attitude. But never mind, maybe Refal wants to keep a heart for Alula and appreciate Alula after realizing their mistake yesterday time in the Apartment.

"Where do I know mba. mba Vira ask the same Mr. Refal directly." Vira seems to think hard but is reluctant to force Shenina to the story. She was afraid that Shenina would feel uncomfortable in the future.

"Mba Vira don't think anything, I don't feel like I have any problems with Mr. Refal..." Hearing Shenina's words as if affirming, Vira also realized from her daydream.

The 28-year-old woman was very sure that something had happened between the boss and his co-worker who was a new child. Vira has worked with Refal for quite a long time, obviously he knows how the character of the boss is in his employees.

And that something happened after Alula's arrival at the office. Vira felt that Refal was deliberately avoiding Shenina. Though Vira knew very well that wherever he went, Refal always took his personal assistant. And Refal if you do not like his subordinates, do not hesitate to reprimand and get angry instead of evading like this.

...***...

The time shows at 8.45 WIB, the door of the room Refal open from inside. The owner of the room also came out in a navy suit with a white shirt in it looking handsome, dashing and charismatic.

The charm of a Refaldy is no doubt in the eyes of the Eve, including Shenina who was fascinated with Refal, the former lover.

"Shenina, we're leaving now! scared jammed!" Refal's words in a medium voice but arrogant intonation made Shenina aware.

"Ba. good sir." Shenina immediately stood up swiftly from her padded work chair reaching for the bag and some file maps that Shenina had prepared.

"Pak Refal, I will call Mr. Ardi first to stand by in the lobby." Said Vira who knows very well if the Rebal is one of the species that is lazy waiting.

"no need. I'll drive the car myself." Reply makes Vira look at the article his boss is the laziest to drive himself if there is a job outside the office.

"Come Shen.. Make sure no files are left behind! if anyone is left behind, I'll ask you to return to the walking office."

"I. yes sir."

"Be careful, Mr. Refal... Be careful Shenina too..." Shouted Vira a little worriedly looking at Shenina's tense face in front of Refal.

...***...

9 Hours is a working hour, but it did not make the capital city road to the South Tangerang area was slow.

Just a few kilometers out of the office, the car driven by Refal has been lined up waiting for the turn of the road at the intersection of red lights. And this is what makes Refal the most lazy to drive. If not for wanting to talk to Shenina alone, of course Refal chose to use the services of an office driver.

It has been 30 minutes passed in the middle of the streets full of the brain of two humans who continue to be silent in their respective seats. Refal on the steering wheel while Shenina is the right passenger seat next to Refal.

Every now and then Shenina stared at her phone showing the app the directions to find out how far and how long she had been sitting next to Refal which made her chest feel tight.

The 30 minutes that passed with Refal, according to Shenina felt like 30 days. Huh!

"Why did you refuse Alula's request to provide you with a driver to the office?" Refal asked with a gaze that was still focused on the streets.

"I'm just a regular employee, I don't deserve that facility and I don't want to be stamped as a person who takes advantage of his best friend." Shenina replied in a medium tone but sounded resolute.

"Alula is worried about you Shen, every morning she calls me just to ask me how you are." The word Refal made Shenina surprised. Is that his best friend?

"I'm sorry if that bothers you, sir... I'll tell Alula to call me. No need to pass Mr. Refal." Said Shenina who felt like she wanted to grieve Alula for not asking directly about Shenina's news. Refal just nodded.

"If you may know, now where is Alula sir?" Shenina asked carefully.

"She is now back in Singapore to accompany her grandmother who is in medical care, yesterday her grandmother's condition dropped so Alula asked her mother to return there." Clear Refal.

The atmosphere was then silent again for a few minutes as Shenina no longer asked about Alula.

"Shen's..." Call Refal again.

"Yes..."

"How was your life for almost five years?" Refal finally chose to lower his ego to ask Shenina a question that had been in his head since their first meeting.

"Why did you just ask me that, sir?" Ask back Shenina.

Refal was confused as to what to answer, the man was only able to grip the steering wheel firmly to vent the roar in his heart.
