Grabbing Dreams
Chapter 16 CUEK

Early in the morning Kanaya had left for work. The only goal is to clean Reino's room before the owner comes and at the same time want to apologize to him about yesterday. It's only 7 o'clock. Usually the boss comes at 8 or 9. He immediately picked up a cleaning tool in the back room of the office and then headed for Reino's room.

  Once there, Kanaya begins her work by wiping tables and chairs. He did it so thoroughly that not a single stain was left out of his sight. Finished with the work of wiping, he continued by arranging books and files that were not neat on the table. He makes sure everything is neatly arranged in its place.

The last thing to do is sweep the floor with a vacuum cleaner. It cleans the dust\-dust on the carpet and floor deftly. He concentrated too much on his work that he did not realize that Reino had been in the doorway from when.

"Morning." said Reino, surprising Kanaya.

"Pa.morning, sir. I'm sorry I was so lazy to clean my dad's room." said Kanaya groggi because she did not expect Reino to come that fast.

*This is only half 8, Kanaya muttered as she glanced at the wall clock*.

The words\\-say sorry that had been neatly arranged in his brain last night suddenly\\ suddenly collapsed unnoticed. What's he supposed to say?

"Please continue, Nay. I won't interfere." replied Reino flatly.

The man\-man walked past Kanaya with a mediocre attitude\-unexpressed. It's hard to guess what Reino is feeling right now. Kanaya is confused as to what she should do. While time passed without a sound between them, Kanaya finished all her work in Reino's room.

"My work is done, sir. Excuse me first." said Kanaya finally, undo his intention to apologize to his boss. He immediately went to the door but Reino's words immediately stopped his steps.

"Sorry, last night I forgot to return your message" Reino said without looking at Kanaya. He is still struggling with the file he will sign.

"Yes, sir it's okay. I thought maybe you were busy last night. Hm.. I'd like to apologize too, sir. I was supposed to let you stop by last night." Kanaya finally felt relieved after an apology came out of her lips. He waited for Reino's expression after hearing her apology just now.

"Hmmm..." Reino muttered briefly.

*Still angry apparently, by the way very irritable, inner Kanaya a little sad. Why dicuekin sir boss it feels like this very yes. hiks*.

"Excuse me, sir." Kanaya finally walked out of Reino's room with mixed feelings. He did not expect to get an apology from Reino is not that easy. Reino's flat expression had convinced Kanaya that the man was still offended by her attitude yesterday.

The atmosphere of the cafeteria was crowded. Kanaya walks towards the buffet table to grab her lunch. Meanwhile, he sees Rita is busy preparing cutlery that has begun to thin at the table. At first he saw Kanaya and waved at her friend. He also coded for Kanaya to occupy an empty seat by the window.

"Where, Nay? Did you apologize? Mr. Reino isn't angry, is he?" Rita flocked Kanaya with so many curious questions.

Kanaya nodded lethargicly accompanied by Rita's astonished gaze.

"Certainly? Why is your face bent? It's so ugly, Nay."

"Wildamah! It's ugly from the sonna!"

"Sir Reino was not angry but.." Kanaya's words were still hanging because he himself was also confused how to explain Reino's expression earlier when he apologized. It's cold like ice.

"But what...?"

"He's funny, Rit." he added, "Malah said it while glaring at the files on his desk." continued Kanaya finally.

"Maybe it's busy again, Nay." comfort Rita to see the disappointed look on Kanaya's face.

"Let's eat first, then hunt down your lunch hour" said Rita then passed leaving Kanaya who was still pensive. He has to get back to his job.

In another room, Reino was sitting behind his office desk. A stack of files was added on the table waiting to be checked. He studied one by one the file and put signatures on it. As the new president, he had to re-audit the entire division because he had never meddled with his father's company. It is indeed sister Wanda who has been helping her father in the office. And now the burden is moving on his shoulders.

"What time is this?" he muttered while glancing at the watch in his hand.

12.40

*Surely my stomach is hungry*.

"May, please send my lunch here." Pinta Reino by phone to her secretary.

It didn't take long, the lunch came. Rita brought a tray of food into her boss' room. This was the first time Reino had asked for his lunch to be delivered to the office. Usually, he went down alone to the cafeteria and had lunch there with his employees.

"Where do I put it, sir?" ask Rita groggy. Seeing and talking to Reino is not the first time. But this situation is different. Now he is dealing with Reino as president director in the office where he works. And he knew himself enough not to try his best friend.

"Put it on the table there ya." Pinta Reino to Rita.

Rita immediately put the tray on the table near the sofa and arranged the plates and spoons. Sometimes he glanced at the man through the tail of his eyes.

Rare opportunity. Rarely can see the clear-cut start every day. Especially from close. Rita's feminine side screams happily. Oh Nay, are you groggy often alone with this handsome boss huh??

"Rit, has Kanaya had lunch?"

Reino's question blew his daydream.

Uh, for a second, did he say Kanaya? Was it wrong with my ears? ask her heart not to believe.

"Kanaya, sir?" reiterate Rita.

"Yes." Yeah." Reino looked at Rita waiting for an answer.

"Already, sir. Just finished." he replied with a smile.

  Nay, I'll bet Mr. Reino likes you, Rita's mind is happy. Rita can't wait to tell this to her best friend.

"If there's nothing else, I'm sorry." she said immediately.
