Cheery has just arrived at the lobby of the Garendra Corporations office. Coincidentally, Cherry's eyes immediately caught the figure of Sania who had also just arrived and got out of her car.
"Good morning, Miss Sania!" said Cheery who was already behind Sania. Sania turned to see who had called her. One eyebrow raised in confusion and surprise.
'Who is this man? Oh no. He just looks like a man, but why do I feel she is a woman?' Sania though confused.
"Sorry, who are you? Do I know you?" asked Sania politely.
Cheery who was asked like that was confused and immediately noticed her appearance. And after that Cheery burst out laughing.
"Don't you recognize me, Sania? Is it true that my appearance is so perfect that you don't recognize me? Hahaha!" Cheery laughed again after mocking her sister.
'Why is he talking to me so casually? As if we were just familiar! And again, I was right. It was clear from his voice that she was a woman. Who is he?' Sania didn't answer, but her mind kept asking.
Seeing Sania who was silent, Cheery then took Sania's hand and shook her hand slightly, "It's me, Sania. Just pay close attention!"
Cheery tried to explain to Sania without revealing her name first.
Sania strictly followed Cheery's instructions and watched Cheery's face intensely.
"C-Cherry? Are you Cheery?" Sania stammered after being almost sure that the strange-looking person was her sister.
Cheery nodded, "Hmm, yes! You are right!" Cheery replied, "How do I look, Sania? It's been amazing, isn't it? You just don't recognize me!" she continued proudly because she managed to trick Sania.
"You ridiculous! Why do you look like this? Didn't I tell you that you have to look good? And look at you now, Cheery!" Sania grumbled which ended by patting her forehead.
"This is my best performance. Trust me, I will pass today's assessment. Wish me luck!" Cheery said confidently to herself.
"Yes, hopefully!" Sania answered doubtfully. No, rather sadly, "Let's go inside! I'll contact the department you need to go to," Sania continued, inviting Cheery in.
Cheery followed her cousin into the grand and majestic office of a well-known family across the country. Cheery was amazed because it was the first time she had entered an office building as big and luxurious as that.
Cheery was so amazed that she didn't hear Sania's call. A light tap from Sania on the shoulder managed to break Cheery's imagination.
"Hey, are you daydreaming?" asked Sania with an amused smile.
"I didn't think there was an office this big, Sania. This building is like a mall!" Cheery admits her current fascination.
"Save your admiration for now! You're waiting in Miss Mona's room on floor 3-A. Hurry up! Miss Mona is the impatient type. Especially when it comes to the Ceo," said Sania telling Cheery to hurry up to the second floor.
"Shouldn't I see Miss Anastasia? It was the woman named Anna who called me last night. Why do I have to go to the room of a woman named Mona?" Cheery seemed reluctant because she felt a little strange.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Anna and Mona are friends. It was Anna who called you but it was Mona who told her to! I'll explain it to you later. Now, go up first or you will be fired before even introducing yourself!" Sania explained in general and immediately pushed Cheery to enter the elevator.
"Go upstairs and ask anyone in Miss Mona's room! Everyone knows her. I have to hurry and don't have time to take you upstairs, huh! Good luck, Cheery!" Sania encouraged before their sight was blocked by the closed elevator doors.
Cheery's destination was on the third floor, but the elevator stopped and the doors opened on the second floor.
A handsome and dashing man with a proportional body got into the elevator with Cheery and stood in front of him.
The fresh mint-scented perfume that burst when the man entered, made Cheery able to inhale it freely.
'Powerful fragrant. It fits his handsome face very well,' Cheery praised him in her heart.
"Did you say something?" asked the man in front of Cheery without turning his body and his gaze.
"No. I didn't say anything," Cheery replied awkwardly.
The man turned curtly to Cheery when he heard her voice. He only glanced briefly and immediately turned again.
'A woman's voice, but a man's appearance? Strange, but maybe he's from artist management,' the man thought indifferently. As if this is common and often seen.
The man in front of Cheery no longer asked and was seen pressing the button to number 4.
'Oh, this guy wants to go to the 4th floor. Maybe he wants to meet the Ceo or president director,' thought Cheery with a guess.
Cheery remembers Sania's explanation, that the office building has 4 floors and on the top floor is the president director's and Ceo office, there are also several rooms where important company files are stored.
The elevator was almost to the 3rd floor. But, suddenly the elevator shook before stopping and the lights went out.
"Ah!" shrieked Cheery who was frightened and immediately hugged the man in front of her.
The man was shocked when his body was hugged tightly by Cheery who was shaking violently from behind. He realized that the one hugging him was a woman, so it didn't matter at all. Coupled with the two soft mounds attached to his back, making the man smiled with no refusal.
The man who was being hugged by Cheery moved to loosen Cheery's grip and put his hands together again when the man turned around and hugged Cheery back.
'Her body is fragrant, her chest is also big and supple. Why is this woman disguised as a man?' thought the man while biting his lips.
"Hey, Miss? Don't try to tease me at a time like this. Aren't you afraid I'll do things to you when you hug me tightly like this?" the man asked with an amused smile.
Cheery shook her head "I'm afraid of the dark, please hold me!" Cheery replied in a trembling voice.
Cheery was still not aware of the situation when her body was tightly embraced by the man. And when the lights came on, the elevator started functioning again and felt like it was moving, only then did Cheery dare to open her eyes.
Cheery just realized that she was hugging the man earlier. She gasped and immediately distanced herself from the man while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
"You! Why do you dare touch me? I will report you to the security of this office!" Cheery said angrily to the man in front of her who kept smiling and looking at Cheery.
"It wasn't me who hugged you, but you were the one who made me suffocate, Miss! Don't you realize you've said you're afraid of the dark?" replied the man in front of Cheery.
'Shit, he's right! I must not have realized earlier!' Cheery cursed to herself in her heart.
Ding!
The elevator door opened on the 3rd floor. Cheery quickly got out of there and immediately bowed halfway to the man in the elevator.
"Sorry, I did not mean it. Please just forget what I said earlier and don't follow me!" Cheery said apologizing and her shadow disappeared from the closed elevator door.
"What a strange woman!" the man chuckled, smiling as the elevator doors closed again.

"Are you Cheery?" Mona asked slightly confused when she saw firsthand how Cheery looked. Sure enough, Cheery does look like a man. Yes, beautiful man!
"Yes, that's right. My name is Cheery Natalia Dewari. I applied for a job at this company, Miss!" Cheery answered long.
"Do you look like this every day?" Mona asked confused.
"Hmm, depends, Miss. I can be anything I need, hehe!" Cheery replied half laughing, "But, even though I look weird like this, believe me, I can carry out my secretarial duties well. and I'm sure I can help ease the CEO's job with my work experience, Miss!" continued Cheery sure.
"Hmm, that's fine! All right, I think I like you and agree that you should be the CEO's secretary. But-" Mona said half hanging.
"You are a woman. Even though you are currently dressed as a man, in the future who will know if you will change your appearance and instead turn to flirt with the CEO who is my future husband?" continued Mona, who openly confirmed Cheery's attitude in the future.
Cheery was stunned but after a while, she smiled calmly and then answered Mona's disbelief at her.
"The reason I applied for a job here was pure because I needed a fairly large living expense, Miss. I am the mother of a child who has to support the child and my mother who is sick. Maybe my reasoning sounds normal, but that's how it is."
"Apart from how I look now. While job applicants at this company have the perfect appearance to attract the CEO's sympathy, I don't think that's wrong. But to me, that is their weakness."
"I'm not stupid carelessly applying for a job without checking the history of the company I'm going to. With such a high salary, the position of secretary to the CEO is always under threat, and word is often spread that the secretarial position is a terrible position to be held. And BINGO! I got the answer!"
