Chapter 1 – SW : Arrogant Boss

"Perfection is everything."

8:00 a.m.

The atmosphere in front of Rayn's office building looks quite crowded. Reportedly there is a young CEO who will replace the position of the old CEO. Sergio Ferrari's pininfarina luxury car stopped in front of the office. All eyes were on the driver who got out wearing a black hem wrapped in a black tuxedo, and black cloth pants. The man walked over with sharp eyes. The smell of vanilla wafted into the nostrils of several employees who had lined up neatly to welcome him.

Kiano Rayn. He is the sole heir to Rayn Construction Group. Rumors circulated that the new CEO was cold-handed, but possessed a deadly charm. Professional man with eagle eyes. The man also has a wife named Savira Halim. The woman who had been picked up by her family from an orphanage. Then, became the son-in-law in the Rayn family.

"Good morning sir!" who are the employees?

Kiano just walked by tilting his eyes forward.

*

"La!"

"Hadeh! What is it?"

Daniel Anatasya. She is a woman who works at Rayn Group. She is known to be ignorant and reluctant to socialize. She even avoided associating with people who liked to gossip. She is the opposite of Kiano. She was only born to a cassava farmer in his village.

Danilla puffed her gum, she walked leisurely. She even still wears flip-flops. She was too lazy to wear high heels. Even though she had received a warning from HRD. Still Daniel with her cool style.

"Where have you been?" she asked.

Karen Esmeralda. She looks very neat, she also uses super blood make up. She is a fan of Kiano Rayn.

"La, why are you late?"

"Yeah, the streets are jammed! Right, I have to take the bus!" said Danilla who was still chewing her gum.

Danilla walked along with Karen.

"La, throw away the gum!"

"No!" reject Danilla who is still stubborn.

They both stopped in front of the elevator.

TING.

The elevator opens. Danilla went inside while waiting for the elevator to open up to the 8th floor.

*

Celine is seen starting to comb her hair, even she is tidying up her make up. She polished her lips again with a peach-colored matte lipstick. She looked in the mirror as she welcomed the new boss.

"The appearance is really ok," Celine also uploaded it with a selfie, then uploaded it on her Instagram. She also didn't forget to add the caption 'My morning will come, after my sun rises'.

ahem.

Celine gasped, she immediately put the glass in her desk drawer.

"Done!" said Karen. "Besides, being a girl is so coquettish!"

"You know, she's a young widow! So, thirst for love," continued Danilla who started to turn on her laptop.

Celine also went into the new CEO's room. She looked flushed in the face.

"Bet, our new CEO is more cursed than our old boss," said Danilla.

"Yeah, no way Daniel. Obviously, Mrs. Joana is like an incarnation of Mak Lampir, while our new CEO is really hot!"

"Your brain is the same as Celine's brain!" Danilla rolled her eyes, then she chose to work on several proposals for the meeting this afternoon.

"Cie, later I will accompany Pak Kiano," Karen teased.

"No need to start!" said Danilla, who was busy being chased by a deadline this afternoon.

"It's okay, La. You don't have to use gas at all," Karen chuckled.

"Hmm."

"Don't forget to say hello to Pak Kiano later. If I want to wait for the widower!"

"Morning!" said Reihan.

Reihan Primary Rayn. He is the deputy CEO. In fact, many thought that this handsome and friendly man would replace Joana Alexandra, the old former CEO who retired last week.

Joana Alexandra is known to be very authoritarian and demands perfection. She doesn't want any flaws in a job. She is also stone hearted.

"Morning, Mr. Rei," replied Karen with a crescent smile. But, for Karen Reihan, it's normal. She's less cool compared to Kiano.

BRAK!

"Miss Celine, what is this?" Danilla groaned.

"You finish this, then you give it to Mr. Kiano. Only fifteen minutes!" Celine snapped, folding her arms across her chest. She turned her face away and left.

"ISH!" hissed Danilla who clenched her fists. She wanted to punch the secretary who had such an arbitrary attitude.

"Patience, La. It's a test," Karen endured.

Celine is always annoying in the eyes of other employees.

*

"Morning ma'am!" greeted the employee shakily looking at the middle-aged woman with shoulder-length short hair.

"Mrs. Joa-ana," Celine tried to steal the woman's attention, she put on a fake smile.

"Want to…. "

Joana went straight into the CEO's room before Celine continued her sentence.

Daniel just stifled a laugh. He feels that Celine is a hobby of looking for face in the eyes of superiors.

"Done!" cursed Daniel with a half-joking smile.

Danilla had finished checking some of the files that Celine had given her. He will immediately give it to Kiano.

"Hom!" Daniel yawned. He felt sleepy, because all day yesterday he watched the Korean drama marathon until dawn.

"Habit!" said Karen. "You must be marathon Korean dramas again, right?"

"Ehem," Daniel mumbled. "I'm so sleepy, Ren. Can I just sleep for five minutes?"

"Crazy! There's a lot of cctv here!"

"But, I'm really sleepy, Ren," Danilla yawned repeatedly, she also covered her mouth with the back of her hand. "My eyes still feel sticky."

BRAK!

Celine came back, she banged on Danilla's desk with a pile of documents to recheck.

"Dear Mrs. Celine. Why was this file given to me? This is definitely not part of my job desk!" Danilla protested by inflating her nose.

Celine just glanced at Danilla. "It's not really your job, but you're not here to work instead…. "

"Remember, mother herself is also in the dark. It's mother's job, but instead throws it at me!" Danilla cut off the sentence that Celine had not finished. Several employees turned to them.

The sound of a snort silenced Danilla and Celine. She saw Kiano standing behind her with her right hand in her trouser pocket.

"Celline, how was the job I gave you? Is it okay?"

"Hemm, Ehhh," Celine thought.

"Yes, sir. This is what Mrs. Celine asked me to do!" said Danilla, then handed all the files to Kiano.

"Okay. Looks like I have to give you a warning letter," Kiano said.

"Thanks! Eat it so people don't like to be arrogant and pretentious!" Daniel cursed in his mind.

"Sir, sorry. Today there will be a meeting this afternoon with a client from Malaysia," said Danilla.

"Celline, why didn't you tell me the meeting schedule? You are my salary, not just to relax!"

Celine just lowered her head, she was very afraid that her career would end here. "Damn it, why am I the one getting cornered? All because of this new employee!" curse in the heart.

"You come to my room," Kiano said.

"Yes sir."

"Just bring all the files for a meeting with a client. I want you to explain the concept in detail," said Kiano.

"Okay sir."

Joana is still in Kiano's room. She enjoyed drinking a cup of coffee that had been served by the OB in the office.

"Come in!" Kiano's orders.

Danilla followed behind Kiano.

"What's your name?" asked Kiano.

"Danilla Anatasya, sir."

"But, how come I didn't see you?"

Daniel just smiled. Because of course Kiano didn't see it. He was late for the office.

"Kino, remember. You will come home from dinner with your wife," said Joana. "I'm going home first," she added.

"Yes, Mom."

Joana came out of the CEO's room. She looked intently around the room. Some of the employees bowed their heads in respect.

*

In the office, Kiano is tapping his fingers on the table while waiting for his employees to come to ask for the bid proposal for the tender given by the government.

Danilla stood in front of Kiano, she could only swallow her saliva. She looks very nervous. Moreover, the man began to read every sheet of proposal given by Danilla.

BRAK! Kiano threw the proposal in the woman's face.

"YOU WORKED ON A GARBAGE PROPOSAL!" The deep voice from Kiano's mouth gave the woman goosebumps.

"Ma-"

"YOU ARE THE BEST GRADUATES IN THE BEST UNIVERSITY IN INDONESIA, BUT YOU MADE THIS PROPOSAL ORIGINAL!"

"Sir, I can jel…. "

"You now get out of here quickly!"

Danilla was just stunned in the shadow of her daydream.

"Danilla Anatasya."

"Yes sir."

"Your proposal is very interesting. I like."

"Oh my gosh, it was just a daydream. And, Mr. Kiano likes the proposal that I made," Danilla's eyes sparkled, even though she had already imagined that she would have to be thrown out of a company like the Rayn Group. She felt like setting off fireworks because her proposal succeeded in getting a man named Kiano to like her proposal.

"Danilla, why are you dumbfounded?" Kiano asked looking at Danilla so flatly. The man was expressionless, never even smiled in his life.

"I'm happy, because my proposal can attract you," Danilla looked so nervous that she swallowed her own saliva. Though there is a bad shadow that possessed her. She felt the goddess of fortune was on her side. Moreover, it is very difficult to find a job nowadays.

"Yes. Tomorrow, don't forget to prepare everything for presentations with hospital officials," Kiano said in a very cold and heavy tone.

"Yes, sir!" Danilla exclaimed putting on a smile, she was relieved by the reality she received.

Danilla turned her steps, then she came out of the hot room with a cool smell. Her chest that had been tight was already loose for breathing.

"Danilla."

All the employees surrounded her. They seemed curious about what happened to Danilla inside. They began to interrogate like journalists who are hungry for news.

"Hey, how are you?"

"Are you alright?"

"Then Mr. Kiano?"

Danilla took a breath, she looked at everyone with the corners of her lips raised.

"La, I'm curious lunkhead," said Karen who was trapped curious.

Danilla also showed a row of even teeth, she looked at all her co-workers who were starting to wonder what was going on inside.

"La, hurry up the story. I swear I'm really curious," said Karen, who was filled with curiosity.

"Succeed!" Danilla exclaimed, hugging her best friend.

"Seriously?" asked a disbelieving Karen.

"Yeah, really Karen Esmeralda."

Suddenly Celine came. She approached Karen.

"Karen, you were just called HRD."

"What for?" Karen asked Celine back.

Celine just shrugged her shoulders, then left without answering Karen's question.

"You witch!" She cursed very quietly. She felt very annoyed with Celine who didn't like seeing Danilla's success.

"Patience Karen. This is an ordeal for Mrs. Celine who is an incarnation of a witch," Danilla patted Karen's shoulder.

"La, I said goodbye to HRD. I'll definitely tell you later," said Karen.

"Ready, I will wait for your story," replied Danilla by chewing gum again.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you to the best of all time," said Karen.

"Watch out until you don't tell me," Danilla threatened while chewing the gum that was in her mouth.

"Yeah, you're such a fussy kid!"

"Let it go!" Daniel stuck out his tongue.

"That woman is very similar to her," Kiano muttered to himself, he looked at Danilla from afar. It was like seeing the face of someone he had missed so much.

"Ki," Reihan patted Kiano's shoulder until he gasped.

"What, Rei?" Kiano woke up from his daydream.

"Who are you looking at?" Reihan looked very suspicious of what his cousin saw.

"Looking at the employee's performance," Kiano replied in a flat tone.

"Your mind is starting to go short!"

"Yeah, that's a normal guy, Ki."

"Oh. Think there is something pleasing to the eye," laughed Reihan.

"Shall we have lunch together?" bargain Reihan

"Sorry, later at lunch. I'm in a meeting with a client. Next time," said Kiano.

"Okay." Reihan smiled. "I should have gotten the project, why did she choose Joana's aunt! In fact, this is a company owned by grandfather. Unlucky!" Reihan muttered in his heart.
