That Strong Woman Is Mine
Chapter 17

Confused by what she had to do Viana got up from the sofa and went into her room to sleep.

inside the workspace Jebby is trying to focus on work but cannot be distracted by Viana's words.

"Whataa... He said while there's no love between us? Heh... that woman really..., how could I marry her if I didn't love her? I have to think of a way that I can be with him every day." Jebby immediately took his phone and called Viko.

In the morning as usual, when Jebby woke up no longer beside Viana, Viana rushed to get ready for the office, and once again there was a sandwich and a glass of milk on the table with a small note that read "don't forget breakfast" of course Jebby who prepared it, Viana smiled and ate the Lapis Bread happily.

Once in the office Viana saw people discussing something, as if something big was going on, so she asked her very close co-worker Anet,

"Anet what's wrong? What's going on?"

"Viana... You just arrived? You haven't checked the office group yet?

"Not yet.What's up?

"Pak Anto informed the group that our company has been acquired by an international company, and the company has opened a branch in our country 4 years ago, but only this time they acquired a company, Mr. Anto is very happy because our company has become an international subsidiary of it."

"Which international company acquires our company"

"Pak Anto has not told us, it is still confidential, he said Mr. Anto will soon be transferred to the headquarters of the international company, and we will be the arrival of a new director, he said, the new director will explain everything"

"Ooohh...so that's what all the employees are talking about?"

"Yeah, and also no one knows who the new director will replace Mr. Anto, there are rumors circulating that the new director is very scary"

While they were chatting, suddenly Riska ma'am Viana and Anet immediately rushed to them.

"Viana, our new director will arrive soon, please help you who accompany and direct it yes"

"Why.why am I mom?"

"Yes Viana, if not you who else? Or how about Anet?"

"Don't I dong ma'am, I'm afraid...What if I make a mistake and then the new director immediately fired me? Have pity on me dong ma'am"

Viana who saw her friend was pretending to be pitiful just rolled her eyes.

"Cindy did not want to, Anet skarang also did not want, then I pointed to Viana just a point not using a comma, yes Viana you are ready, then you are ready, a new director is coming soon"

Viana can only give up and can only try to do her best.

A few minutes later Ms Riska had received information that the new director was on his way and another 10 minutes would be there.

"Quickly line up neatly in front of the office door" Ms. Riska as the only female manager entrusted to take care of everything, she had gathered the employees and had them march in front of the door neatly to greet the new director, whereas Viana should be next to Riska's mom.

A few minutes later a black bentley followed by 2 cars stopped in front of the office, the driver immediately rushed out and opened the car door for someone in the passenger seat, a man wearing a black suit with a combination of a white shirt and a black tie got off the bentley at the front, followed by several people dressed all in black, all employees try to welcome as best they can.

"Jebby...?"

the others did not hear Viana's voice as it was only focused on saluting the new director of their company. Jebby who heard the voice only glanced at Viana and continued her steps, Viana felt very upset to see Jebby who seemed to not recognize her.

"Heh..you pretended not to recognize me?, Alright I also from now on do not recognize you" whispered Viana as she took a deep breath.

Suddenly Viana was immediately grabbed by Riska's mom.

"Viana who focus dong, you will be missed by the director, quickly pursue"

"Good ma'am" Viana hurriedly followed the group to the meeting hall.

All the employees who had lined up neatly in front of the office were already sitting in the meeting hall, Viana who was sitting next to Jebby was just silent and even lazy to look at Jebby, Jebby who noticed that the corner of her lips slightly lifted. Suddenly Jebby dropped Pena, Viana who was sitting nearby moved to help pick it up, then a whispering voice rang out in her ear, "see you later at home"

Viana was silent for a few seconds she glanced at Jebby then gave the pen back, Cindy saw the situation thinking Viana was starting to try to seduce the new director.

The MCs asked Jebby to go on stage to introduce herself. Jebby got up and walked to the podium and started talking.

"Good afternoon everyone.I am the new director who replaced Mr. Anto, my name is Jebby Arya Putra and I want to convey that starting today PT. San Construction has become a subsidiary of JB Group.

The employees who heard that were so shocked that they almost forgot to shut their mouths,

"Is the JB Group an international company ranked 2nd in the world and 1st in Asia?"

"JB Group is an international company engaged in almost all Industries and various sectors, I did not expect that we become employees of JB Group.

"Yes.that means our lives will soon be prosperous"

Various discussions were vaguely heard.

"I beg the help of all colleagues to jointly advance PT. San Construction is in a better direction, and because of PT. San Contruction is already a subsidiary of JB Group then the salary of employees will be changed to 3 times what it is now, so let's work hard, Thank you" jebby's welcome received a standing ovation.

After giving his welcome Jebby got off the stage and immediately left the meeting hall.

Time to go home from work, Viana chose to take the Bus, from the office she had to walk 5 minutes to get to the Bus stop, waiting for a few minutes the Bus has arrived.

after getting off the Viana Bus stop at a mini market, buying some groceries for later cooking, after buying the ingredients to cook Viana walked to the apartment where she lived, while waiting for the elevator, while waiting for her, Jebby comes, he immediately picks up Viana's groceries and helps carry her, the elevator opens and they enter. Viana glanced at Jebby. Only this time she saw Jebby using glasses, gold-framed glasses that add to her good looks, in Viana's heart God really loves Jebby.

"I'm sorry, I thought you'd be home tonight, next time I'd try to get home sooner so I could cook right up to home"

Jebby only saw Viana at a glance and did not respond in the slightest. Viana was upset in her heart, the elevator rang and they reached the floor where they were staying, after entering the house, Jebby put the bag and opened her suit and then rolled her white shirt up to her elbow, while Viana was already wearing her apron and was tying her hair preparing to cook, suddenly from behind Viana, Jebby wanted to pick up an apron hanging from where Viana was standing, jebby's chest touched the back of Viana making the distance between them so close. Because the movement made Viana's heart beat fast and her face slightly flushed with embarrassment, seeing Viana who was like a child Jebby smiling mischievously.

"I'll help you cook" Jebby said

"Mm" Viana simply nodded her head and started cleaning the vegetables, while Jebby started cutting the meat, they worked well together. A few minutes later some dishes were arranged on the table. Jebby picks up the tableware and they start eating in silence, but that silence is a peaceful silence, after eating as usual Jebby washes the dishes while Viana watches TV in the living room. Viana often steals a glance at Jebby who is busy washing dishes in the kitchen, in Viana's mind. This man is so handsome and very charismatic, but he does not know much about Jebby.
