Not as usual. Lesta who does not like Mondays because they have to start moving again after the weekend, feel different on this day.
Especially if not for the reason of being able to meet the lover even in working hours.
Lesta, who is now in Rey's car, as Rey invites her to work together, increasingly likes the togetherness created between them.
After the car enters the office. Lesta and Rey must keep their distance so as not to arouse suspicion in other employees.
At first Rey dislikes Lesta's suggestion that their relationship be kept secret from the rest of the staff. Rey, who is in a flowery state, even wants to show off their relationship to many people. However, Lesta held him back on the grounds of not wanting to mix romance with work. Moreover, Lesta was not ready for the possibility that occurred when the Pact of Marta knew that her son was in love with her. Lesta thinks, it could be that Mr. Marta does not like Lesta whose background in life only comes from a simple family, not comparable to his son who serves as Director of the Company.
Although seen from the life of Mr. Martha who chose Bu Marta who also came from a simple family as his companion, but still make Lesta ketar-ketir against the assessment of Mr. Marta for the criteria of his future son-in-law. Who knows what Marta thought. The business king who always keeps the puzzle in every speech and motion.
On the other hand Lesta is afraid that if this relationship is known Mr. Marta will impact on his work later. Who knows, Pak Marta will not like if Lesta is related to her son. Lesta thinks she could have been fired from her job. Lesta still wants to work and loves her job as a secretary.
Not to mention, Lesta is not ready to receive glances and cynical gazes from other employees who are concurrently fans of Rey. For the room alone there are two people, namely Sindi and Nana, who are registered in the members of Mr. Rey's secret admirer.
"Darling, you wouldn't mind if we had to keep our relationship a secret from the people in the office ?" ask Rey Lesta, when the car has entered the basement parking lot.
"Yes, how else. You asked for it. Indeed if I say objection, you will change your decision ?" ask Rey.
Lesta. He was silent without flinching.
"Yes, already. I don't mind anyway. Which makes you comfortable" Rey said while pinching Lesta's cheek with anxiety.
Lesta smiled hearing that.

While on the other side. In the CT Group Company, Anis seemed not to concentrate on his work. After remembering Lesta's words last night.
His memory returned that night, when Lesta provided email evidence from the Director of Finance who gave Aldo overtime duties to examine and correct financial statements that were in trouble. Lesta also recounts who the woman who was with Aldo at the party was.
Anis felt ashamed of herself who had been angry at Aldo without listening to Aldo's explanation first. But on the other hand he also felt sad to hear the story of Lesta about the woman who was with Aldo. This led Anis to draw the conclusion that his mother Aldo preferred the future son-in-law of a rich family rather than from a simple family like himself.
So, what should I do now ? Better apologize to Aldo first. Will he forgive me, right ? I doubt he'll forgive me.
Inner Anis.
Usually early in the morning like this, he would invite Anis to go to work together. But this morning, Aldo didn't come at all and didn't even call her from last night.
What Lesta said, I had to lower my prestige too high and change my stubbornness.
Inner Anis.
**********
The clock has shown at 12:00 p.m. Aldo who is still busy doing his work glances at the clock that is circular in his hand.

Suddenly the sound of the door being knocked from outside. An office Boy officer walks into Aldo's room.
"Sir Aldo, would you like to have lunch outside or would you like to buy food outside ?" said Office Boy Officer.
"I'll just drop Mr. Hasan. There's still a lot of work. Buy rice where I usually eat only sir" said Aldo while spending money in his wallet.
"Well, Mr. Aldo" said Mr. Hasan.
Mr. Hasan then left the room. While Aldo is still struggling in front of his computer, completing his work.
Shortly after, I heard a knock on the door. Rika, a receptionist on the floor, enters Aldo's room.
"Sorry, Mr. Aldo. There are guests outside who want to meet you" said the receptionist.
"Guests ? What's his name Rik ?" said Aldo.
"Name is Anisa, sir. From CT Group" said the receptionist.
Anis ?
Inner Aldo.
"Have him come into my room, Rika" Aldo said.
Shortly after Rika exits, Anis enters Aldo's room.
Aldo, who was sitting in his work chair, immediately got up from his seat, as soon as he saw Anis enter his room.

"Sit down, Nis" said Aldo, who invited Anis to sit on the sofa in his room.
Anis then stepped onto the sofa. Now he had sat facing each other with Aldo on the sofa.
Anis looked around the room where Aldo was working. He looked at the architecture in the room.
Aldo observed Anis who was looking around Aldo's room. Suddenly their eyes meet.
"Eh, sorry. I just came here for the first time. I was impressed by the architectural design. Giving a comfortable impression" said Anis while smiling.
Aldo was not smiling at all. He just looked at Anis from earlier with a flat facial expression.
Why is he silent. I'm being awkward myself now.
Inner Anis.
"I'm here to be.." said Anis who slightly paused his pronunciation. Because he felt hard to say an apology that he rarely said.
"I'm here to apologize for accusing you of lying. I've heard everything from Lesta" Anis said as she glanced at Aldo.
But Aldo was still silent not flinching.
"Hm.. You must be having trouble huh, facing my stubborn attitude all this time. If Lesta doesn't advise me, I probably didn't realize until now that my attitude was that hard" said Anis who was still trying to smile that was a bit forced.
While Aldo still looks at him without responding to any of Anis's words.
Why was it that I was the only one talking. He seems to have no intention of forgiving me. Don't forgive me. Just seeing me here seems like he's lazy.
Inner Anis.
Suddenly, Anis was saddened by Aldo's attitude towards her. Not feeling, there was a puddle of tears in the corner of his eyes. The one that slowly fell down wet his cheeks. Anis quickly wiped away her tears, so as not to be seen by Aldo. Unfortunately, her tears were no longer stifled.
"Then I want to go home, excuse me" said Anis who had moved from her seat.
Anis then stepped towards the door to get out, but Aldo's hand restrained his arm.
"Why go ? Though I was very happy to look at you from earlier, after a day yesterday did not see you" said Aldo.
Aldo got up from his seat and approached Anis.
"Don't keep thinking negatively about me. I'm not that bad, Anis. I deliberately didn't call you and pick you up for work, to give you time to calm down. The plan is later in the afternoon, I just want to go to your office to pick you up" said Aldo.
Anis was stunned to hear Aldo's words. Anis hugged Aldo.
"I'm sorry, Do. I promise I will change the nature of my stubbornness" said Anis.
Aldo smiled hearing that.
"Yes, even though it sounds a bit difficult like it" Aldo said with a laugh.
"Yes, I'm sorry too. No rush to tell you about the woman. So, you hear it from others" said Aldo.
"You're coming here at this hour, haven't you had lunch yet ?" ask Aldo.
Anis shakes.
"Yes, already. Let's have lunch outside. All the way home from lunch, I'll take you back to your office again, baby" Aldo said.
Anis nodded.
There was a feeling of relief as well as happiness that Anis felt now, hearing Aldo call her 'honey' back.
