JORDAN
Chapter 20's

“From today you will study with Sam, your desk is also near Sam.

As my assistant, you will only set my personal schedule and needs. And

just in case I had also asked Sam for help to divide

knowledge with you so that you do not get in the fog if suddenly Sam does not exist and you have to duplicate his work.”

That's what Jordan said before the man entered his study

inside, Sam and Lionara's desk are in an open space right in front of Jordan's room.

Jordan's workspace is located at the very top of this building, which is directly connected

with a special elevator where not just anyone can push the button up to the

this floor.  Only people with

special pass cards that can set foot in this place.

It was almost lunchtime and Lionara spent time with Sam. A lot

what he learned from Sam. Within a few hours, starting from the making

effective schedule, how to archive files and also learn about the system

computer from special software to make it easier to set the schedule online.

“You learn very quickly, Miss,” praise Sam sincerely

Lionara's lips are small, “All thanks to you who are so expert in providing explanations, especially for beginners like me. Thanks, Sam,”

“No need to thank, Miss. It has become my duty,” reply Sam smiled

amiable.

“And another one, while in the office do not call me that. Just call me Nara, because we're co-workers who will be a lot

studying together,” Lionara pinta while Sam still using formal words on him.

“Ah, yes... alright Non uh. I mean, Na—ra.” Sam scratched his chin which was not itchy at all.

“Alright, maybe later you will get used to.” Lionara replied with a sweet smile

Sam glanced at his watch, then looked at Lionara awkwardly.

“I think it's time for lunch. You want to eat..?” sam's voice came to a halt when the door of the room

the place Jordan was in opened suddenly and the figure appeared in the doorway.

The man stepped out from there, wearing his travelling coat in an elegant style and directly standing in front of his second table.

“Bring your bag. We had lunch outside,” said Jordan calmly, then stepped into the elevator without waiting for a response from Lionara.

Without replying, Lionara packed her bag, carrying what needed to be brought later

following Jordan's steps after saying goodbye first to Sam.

When they passed the lobby, it was crowded by many employees who went down

for lunch, Lionara realized that Jordan was instantly at the center

attentiveness. Everyone, especially women, is bound and not

being able to take his eyes off the man, fascinated was incredible

it was as if their eyes had been trapped by the most beautiful creature of all

the creatures they've seen. Moreover, Jordan's response that often gives a friendly smile returned greetings from some employees who greeted him.

“Yeah... geez.. Mr. Jordan is getting more handsome anyway,”.

“Smiling is loh... too sweet,”

“Can I copy my husband like him?”

“So Sir Jordan's mistress I'd love to,”

“Uda handsome, genius, tajir twisting again..”.

"Marry me, please,”

Along the way, a series of whispers full of worship that is captured by the ear

Lionaras. They walked side by side and glanced from the corner of his eyes, Lionara saw Jordan just continued to tread calmly without being affected in the slightest.

Feeling uncomfortable, Lionara deliberately slowed his steps back so that now his body was behind Jordan.

This is better. Inner Lionara

Realizing that someone who had been walking by his side was absent, Jordan's steps came to a halt. Rotating the body, and immediately cringed in annoyance when he found his wife deliberately slowed her steps behind with her head bowed.

The plot!

Jordan flicked Lionara's forehead as their distance was close. Intentionally indeed.

“Arghhss...” ringis Nara, rubbing his eel that feels a little pain. “What ka—“

“Who told you to walk behind me?” cut Jordan with bulging eyes “you my helper?”

“Assistant.” Lionara correction with annoyed tone

“What?”

“Didn't the assistant walk behind his boss,”

“Omong empty.” Jordan snorted then immediately grabbed Lionara's hand and grasped it tightly.

Lionara glared, “What are you doing? We are again in the office,” Lionara whispered by staring around riled up

“Then what's the problem?” Jordan raised an eyebrow “you my wife, should have walked next to me.”

Lionara thinned his lips, staring at Jordan panted.

“You said at work then we'd behave like workers. But what is this?” Lionara wiggled his hand in hand.

“I'm the boss, rules are made on my orders.” asserted Jordan

“Tapi—“

“Disputing once again then I will kiss you in front of them.” sidelines Jordan start to disappear

patience, and immediately managed to make Lionara pursed his lips.

“Good girl,” Jordan patted the crown of Lionara satisfied “Ayo, I'm hungry.” he continued

****

They sit on one side of the restaurant that provides a typical Italian menu

tantalize. The restaurant was quite crowded because it was lunchtime.

Just like what happened in the lobby, again Jordan seemed to attract attention

some people were there, and it was pretty annoying in Lionara's eyes. Waiting

the order came, Jordan looked busy with a tab in his hand. The man still seems to have a lot of work, until when he will eat this is still tinkering with his tab so seriously. Don't want to bother you, Lionara

choose to take his phone and start surfing on social media account—instagram, which since last week was created by Camila. He said it was very powerful to drive away boredom.

Initially, Lionara's finger was busy browsing various foods that he could have learned to eat

practice cooking at home. But, instantly his finger came to a halt upon seeing one

notification of friend requests from someone who until now still

played an important role in his heart. Daniel

Alexander's.

Stunned, Lionara's fingers seemed stiff to just move. His face changed, doubtful

whether he accepts or ignores the delivery. But if he

ignoring, wouldn't it look so childish? While in another

sisi—regardless of their past, Daniel has now officially become a family—to be exact

his brother-in-law. Without thinking more, Lionara confirmed Daniel's friendship and then wanted to close the social media account when suddenly the name of the man he had just confirmed, had sent a direct massage for him:

Daniel.xander: sr:

How are you, Flo?

Daniel.xander: sr:

Daniel.xander: sr:

Sorry, but I really miss you, my flo…

Lionara was stunned, he almost had trouble breathing when the message was read. That fast

Daniel sent him the DM. He lied when he said his heart was not

influenced by the man, he was clearly affected because part of his deepest heart was still filled by Daniel, and no matter when the position could be

replaceable. Moreover, the last sentence sent Daniel managed to rile his heart. He missed Daniel too.

“What's up?” Jordan asked, looking at the anger on his wife's face.

“Ha? What?” gnashing and as if awakened, Lionara looked at Jordan who was not

holding the tab again. Even he just realized the food they ordered, whether since when it had been presented at their table.

“Chat from whom? your face is so tense?”

“Ah, the.it's from Leon,” Lionara a little flutter, “Leon said today he will

staying at his friend's house, he said there was a group assignment.” Lionara tried to normalize his tone. He was not entirely lying, because this morning Leon had permission for him not to come home tonight.

“Once yes,” Jordan said slowly

Lionara nodded his head.

“Ya already, finish your food immediately. Your lunch hour looks like it's about to end,” Jordan reviewed a speck of smile on her lips. But the smile did not reach his eyes.

“Iya.” Lionara said, keep his phone back in the bag and start tasting

the food in front of him was silent.

Jordan watched in silence. When her lips filled with a sweet smile, her eyes

contrary to all that. It even ignited a terrible ember of light that could not be described with words.

****

Jordan was sitting in front of a meeting room table where the members of the board were

Christopher International has gathered. Focus their attention all

it seemed to be directed at a middle-aged man who was now being

issued a voice, precisely the leader of the previous company before being replaced

by Jordan. Josep Chritoper's.

Before this Jordan did get news if the father who was not admitted it would be present

at this impromptu meeting, considering Josep was about to make an announcement

which he says is important. That made Jordan unwillingly have to collect

board to hear the man's announcement.

“You must be wondering why I suddenly asked you all to be here,”

Josep's voice echoed loudly in the quiet-looking room. His eyes swept to

in all directions, pay attention to the diverse expressions of wonder rather than the members

directors, except for just one person in this room who seemed unconcerned with

his presence. Jordanian. His son was even reluctant to pay attention, even busy playing games on his phone.

“All right away, I'm here to announce something if my second son, I,

Daniel Alexander Christopher will join the company from today

as a shareholder commissioner of Christopher International. I have handed over my ten percent stake to him and from today he will be working regularly.”

The room turned boisterous because of the announcement. They just don't think if

the second son of their former leader will join in

enterprises. While the wind that has been circulating, proclaiming that Daniel has never been interested in getting involved with the business world of his family.

“Come in, Daniel,” Josep's next word when no one dares to comment above

his decision.

All eyes were instantly fixed on the figure of a tall-looking man in a suit

the neat all-black entered the room and immediately stood next to Josep.

Josep patted his back with pride and a fluffy smile, “Come, introduce yourself to them,”

Daniel nodded, then stood firmly facing the board of directors.

“Include, I'm Daniel Alexander Christopher. Please work together forward,” Daniel

introduce yourself politely while bowing a little, giving

respectfully.

The members of the directors replied with light applause and a smile on the face

respectively.

While in his seat, Jordan smiled obliquely, trying to cover up the pain

her heart. He kept the phone back in his pocket, then got up

until the chair he was sitting on screeched shifted, inviting everyone's gaze to be directed at him.

“I think there is news of what size to make this honorable Mr. Josep willing to bother asking for an impromptu meeting like this.” Jordan said calmly, both of his hands were in his pants pocket

“Well, it turns out just a trivial introduction like this.” Jordan smiles obliquely “ really wastes my time alone,”

“What? Trifling teme?” Josep growling.

Jordan just shrugged his shoulders. He called Sam and told the man to bring him

the file. He deliberately ignored Josep.

“Already. I was pretty busy today. I'm bored, just take your favorite son with you

shop around in this company before starting his job well.”

“JORDAN CHRISTOPHER!” ignoring Josep's screams, Jordan immediately stepped out

casually.

“Pak!” just as Jordan was walking a few steps from the exit, he heard

lionara Voice. The woman turned out to be walking towards him while carrying a glass containing coffee that Jordan pinta earlier.

“I carry-“

“-Pak!” Lionara immediately screeched to find instead of taking his drink, suddenly

Jordan had already hugged her when she got in front of him.

The success of his surprise made the glass fall, so that the black liquid littered the floor below.

“Pak, release.” Lionara felt nervous at the sight of some people who had just

out directed at them.

“Leave it like this,” Jordan said in a tired tone while she leaned back

his head on Lionara's shoulders. The woman was about to thrash but,

“Actually I was in the mood to kill someone. But I don't know why

your embrace can calm me down. So stop rejecting me.”

Lionara stopped struggling when he heard that cold tone. And then accidentally his eyes

caught two figures who just came out—Josep and Daniel. Amazingly shocked, Lionara never imagined the two people would be in this place. The two looked at them, Josep with a cynical look, while Daniel looked at him

with a broken feeling that Lionara could clearly feel from the man's sad gaze.
