Young Miss And Secretary
15. Dinners
Happy reading, please
✨✨✨
"You hungry?" Ask Elian.
"No, Miss." Elian looked at Artur with a look of disbelief. Then, his eyes turned to his watch.
"It's past dinner. Upstairs there's a nice dining room." Elian said that while looking at Artur. Artur just nodded, not understanding what the young lady said.
"Do you understand what I mean?" Asked Elian who was already feeling annoyed.
"Understand me, Miss."
"What do I mean by that?"
"I mean Miss, in the upstairs room there's a place with a nice view."
Elian let out a long sigh, then massaged her temple.
"You need to learn again." Without Artur's approval, Elian pulls Artur's hand up.
"Miss, what about Miss' client? Is the meeting over?" Artur asked, to Elian who was walking in front of him.
"Here you go" replied Elian.
Arriving at the dining room, the room was empty without visitors.
Clearly, this was the private room that had been used for Elian's meeting with the Hotel's director.
Elian chose a table that was near the transparent glass. Behind the glass, there is a view of the city at night. Flickering street lights and motorists passing by on the road.
The night sky is no less beautiful. With the full moon hanging and the stars scattered.
'I'm lucky I'm not a werewolf.' Inner Elian.
"Well Artur, you can sit across from me." Said Elian who saw Artur never sitting.
"But Miss, this is overkill for me." Elian knew, Artur was overwhelmed. But Elian is still Elian. He was determined by his wish.
"I know, surely you do not like hotels that have given a bad impression for you, right? And you want to get out of here." Artur wavers, he didn't mean to refuse Miss's request.
"No, Miss. I mean it's not that. Sorry if I offended Miss." Elian smiled evil, and kept Artur sitting down.
Finally Artur complied with her Miss's wish. His eyes kept staring down. He felt that it was a lot of trouble for Elian. Artur is indebted.
"Sorry for my mistake, Miss." Artur opened his voice, which turned the attention of the original Elian to the outside view now towards Artur.
"I am negligent of my duties as secretary Miss. Whereas, Senior Laila has already reminded me to activate the phone for 24 hours, just in case Miss needs me."
'Laila the chatty one, is far-fetched.' Elian said in her mind.
"I was supposed to come to the client meeting, instead chose to come to the reunion of high school friends."
'After they treated you like trash, you still considered them friends?!'
"And I was actually helped by Miss, when I should have been punished for neglecting duty. I'm ashamed of myself." Elian just nodded, confirming what Artur said.
"I'm disappointed in you, Artur Daffodil." Artur was prepared for the consequences, he did not dare to raise his face in front of Elian.
In fact, he just got a job with a large salary. And now it's likely he'll be fired.
"I'm going to fire you." said Elian, who slumped Artur's shoulder.
"... If you repeat the same mistake." Artur's face lifted. He looked at his boss confusedly.
Meanwhile, Elian seemed busy flipping through the food menu in her hands.
"Menu what did you choose Artur?" Elian ignored Artur's surprised face.
"What do you mean Miss?"
"I don't like to repeat my words, Secretary Artur."
Artur's eyes glazed over, he lowered his head again. Elian smiled faintly at Artur's reaction. Elian was sure, Artur must have been holding back his tears.
"Please cry, no one forbids it here." Said Elian in a slightly soft tone.
"Excuse me, I want a message." Call Elian to a waitress there. Elian likened his order to Artur. He himself did not know, what Artur would order.
And if he loses this job, Artur is confused where else he gets a job whose salary is equivalent to that offered in this company.
"Thank you, Miss. I will not repeat the same mistake." Said Artur who had raised his face.
Elian felt de javu. He had once seen a man hold back a cry in front of him. But that man is not Artur. Soon, Elian put those thoughts to rest.
"You look like a kid who lost a toy" Elian said. Artur smiled hearing that.
"Thank you Miss El."
"You've said it twice" Elian replied with a small laugh.
"I didn't expect Miss to be this good." Elian's face again jutek heard the words of his secretary.
"So you mean I've been bad all this time?" Artur panicked, he mispronounced his sensitive boss.
"No-no Miss. Miss misunderstood, I mean..."
"You mean, I don't know what you're saying?" Artur wanted to give up the feeling of facing this young Miss.
"No, Miss El. I guess, I will be fired immediately considering Miss who is usually firm if there is a violation or negligence in work."
"I think you need a fee for your father's treatment" replied Elian.
"Thank you, Miss."
Shortly after, the food arrived. They eat quietly without speaking.
After eating a meal, Elian and Artur to the parking lot.
They also split up there.
Next day
In the office, everything went as usual. However, Artur felt that there was a slight strangeness happening to Elian.
"Is Miss healthy?" Ask Artur who is now in the workspace Elian.
"Yes." Yeah." Artur was really surprised, but last night Elian was softer on him. Yes, although still a jutek face.
'Is it because Miss has not fully forgiven yesterday?' Artur felt riled up in his mind.
"Do you need coffee?" Ask Artur again. Elian rubbed her own cheeks for a while, then looked at Artur.
"Dislike it." After saying so, Elian gave some documents to Artur.
"Okay, then I say resign Miss."
Elian only responded with a nod of the head. Artur disappeared behind the door of Elian's study.
"Ah my head is dizzy," muttered Elian.
Lunchtime
Kriiieeett
The door of Elian's study room opened, spontaneously Artur's eyes were fixed on his superior who had just opened the door.
"What would Miss eat? Let me order." Artur said offering help.
"Please buy chicken porridge."
"Good, Miss."
Tok tok tok tok
"Lake in." A few minutes waiting, Artur finally came and brought Elian's order.
"This is Miss El's order."
"Thank you." Moments before Artur was about to hold the doorknob, Elian stopped him.
"Have you had lunch?"
