Not. Not Daisy. He doesn't know who, but what is clear is a woman who comes and knocks. Smiling as she opened the door to Zen's room.
Zen who looked at her with a relieved expression just realized that now he had an interview scheduled. He did recruit new employees for the accounting department.
Neva knew that this was a work matter, so she resigned from her son's place.
"Please have a seat," Zen ordered the woman. "Then introduce your name."
"My name is Dera, sir." The way she talks really looks like it's made up. Like Dera immediately liked Zen just like that. Zen knows that very well, so he tries to be professional. But he felt familiar with the name Dera. After all, to him, Daisy is everything now and forever.
The interview lasted five minutes. Dera left as soon as the interview was over. Zen told her to wait in the office lobby while he would think about Dera's work history.
Zen doesn't want to hire someone so easily. For him, performance is everything to form a company so that it can achieve more profits than it is today.
Looking at Dera's history, indeed the woman has many excellent job references. But that doesn't mean Zen will accept it right away. He needed Dera to do accounting tasks in his office after this.
Zen orders Human Resources to take care of Dera. Because the interview with him is enough. Because it's also good if he keeps his distance from any woman, except women of the night.
Dito just walked in with the paper bag he was carrying. Smiling triumphantly and sitting across from Zen. "What are you doing?" Zen asked, busy with his computer.
"I want to treat you to a drink!" Dito exclaimed.
"On what occasion?"
"I just won a project here. The hotel will be built soon. Here, I brought your favorite beer!" Dito really looks happy. He was so excited as he pulled out Zen's favorite beer.
Zen finally left his job first. After all, he wasn't very busy.
"Dit, I need your help, here," said Zen.
"What?"
"Dera. Dera Lukman. You know, don't you?" Zen asked. Dito choked as soon as Zen mentioned Dera's name in full. He then looked at Zen and put down his beer. "Why? Is something strange?"
"You asked her for some reason, right? There must be something strange about that girl."
Zen nodded. "The problem is that I don't know what the full name is."
"What's the problem before you mentioned her?"
"She finished her interview here. Now she's working on a question from the accounting field," said Zen.
Dito's eyes widened. "Are you sure? I mean, want to welcome her here?"
Zen shrugged his shoulders. "Yes, how? The performance is good, the references are also okay. You understand what kind of people I recruit."
"No, no. If you can, don't accept her as part of your company!"
"Why? Because I feel awkward with that girl."
"You feel weird but you still want to recruit her? You're crazy!" cursed Dito annoyed.
Zen waited for Dito to explain with an irritated face because he was being bombarded by Dito. Until Dito took a breath, then let it out and took a sip of his beer.
"She's in the same high school as us. Hypersex girl. You don't remember what, if she had sex with you several times?"
Zen suddenly squeezed his beer can until the water came out. He really had missed this time.
***
Next week Zen and Daisy got engaged. He had bought the ring and all the preparations. Even now Daisy became submissive. He even stayed at Zen's apartment according to Zen's wishes for a week until the engagement started.
"You look tense," Daisy said appraisingly.
"No. I'm used to it."
"There is a problem?"
Zen shook his head. He didn't want to talk to Daisy about the two women. Kanya and Dera appeared, making him unable to think calmly.
Daisy was silent. He chose not to talk much when Zen didn't want to talk. Because being sprayed with anger and emotions from Zen is very unpleasant.
When they arrived at the apartment, Dera was already there at the door. Dress like an office. Zen freezes. He did not know or be informed that Dera was going to his apartment. What's it for anyway?
Daisy turned to the silent Zen. "Zen? Is that your guest?" Daisy asked.
Zen blinked his eyes many times. Then he opened the door to his apartment, letting Daisy in first.
"What's wrong, Dera?" asked Zen like a boss and a subordinate.
"There are documents that need to be signed, Sir. A count of the projects we will work on. We need a signature, Sir."
"You can't wait for me at the office, so you have to come to my place? Other employees don't even dare to set foot into my apartment!" Zen snapped in annoyance.
Dera smiled. A meaningful smile that makes Zen even more emotional. "I'll take this. I'll let my men take it to the office! You can go!" explained Zen then.
Dera's steps away from Zen stopped. Turned around and then waved at Zen because Zen was still looking at her with hatred in his chest.
It is his fault that he has employed Dera in his company. Now he is still stuck to get him out of the company.
"He's a new employee?" asked Daisy who was sitting in the living room with the television on.
"Yes. Disrespectful employees!"
"Still new, doesn't mean it's rude. Maybe she needs more training after this."
Zen ignored Daisy's words. Then he called someone. "Please, don't let Dera go out and go to my apartment in the future. I don't want my privacy to be disturbed. You can train her more in order to understand our company's SOP!" Zen ordered his staff who Zen ruled with, which is clear after that he ended the call.
"I'm going to my room first. I need to read this document more seriously, Daisy," he said to Daisy.
"Yeah, okay."
At first Zen was hesitant to leave Daisy alone. But he felt Daisy had gotten used to his cold attitude. So Zen ended up leaving Daisy alone.
The document from Dera is not just a project signing document. But there is a letter from Dera. Zen was really annoyed by that one woman.
He also read the letter.
Dear, Zen... We meet like we don't know each other, huh? Or are you the one who doesn't know me? I do not know. But we haven't been close since high school. Our relationship is only sex. Needs that we continue to and always need each other. Well, Zen... I miss that. You too? We can just do what we did in high school now. That's why I ventured into your apartment. I long to be above you, below you, or in a place where you might take me to heaven. Can we do that again? I don't mind if you want us to do it quietly. Say as you are given an advantage, so am I. You know my cell phone number, Zen. On the back of this letter is also the address where I live. Well, now I also live in an apartment. But lucky you, I'm not in the same apartment with you. There is no boyfriend in my life, all just stop by for me to enjoy. I await your pleasure, Zen.
Dera.
Zen's heart skipped a beat. Reading the letter made him remember his high school days with Dera in bed. The pleasure that Zen really felt was only Dera who was able to make him shake violently. Unfortunately, Zen didn't fall in love with her. Then now, Dera offered himself that pleasure again. What Zen really wants is to make love to Daisy. But he couldn't touch Daisy that far. He began to love Daisy and did not want to spoil her chastity. But with Dera, Zen feels a dilemma.
Dera's offer was tempting, but Zen was afraid he would go too far with Dera. Especially when he tells Daisy that he values honesty. Even about Kanya he didn't have the courage to say it.
"Daisy... what will happen if you find out my secret later?" Zen asked himself.
