Chapter -016-

"Hah.."

Zoya who had just arrived and was standing in front of the elevator door was startled when she heard a heavy sigh right near her right ear.

Zoya quickly turned her head to the right to see who was standing right next to her while sighing deeply even though it was still eight in the morning.

Zoya, who just turned her head to the right, immediately rolled her eyes in surprise to see Leo standing right next to her like an undead. How come Zoya doesn't call Leo like an undead? Because right now the CEO carriage looks like a person who doesn't have enough rest, or you could say the CEO secretary next to him looks like someone who hasn't slept for several days.

Zoya who wanted to greet Leo cleared her throat for a moment to clear her voice.

"Good morning Mr. Leo." Greet Zoya with a smile on her face and her eyes on Leo's face, Meksi now he has to lift his head a little because of the difference in height that is quite a contrast between the two of them.

Leo, who heard himself being greeted with a voice that sounded familiar to him, turned his head to the source of the voice and it turned out that he found Zoya standing right on his left side looking at him with a smile on her face.

Leo, who still felt that his life had not been collected because he had only slept for an hour, only cleared his throat softly while nodding his head slowly. Making Zoya who got such a reply from Leo even frowned slightly in surprise. Because usually Leo will return anyone's greeting with a firm tone and a small smile is printed on the man's face.

Zoya, who was curious, opened her voice to ask the secretary of the CEO.

Ting!

But Zoya stopped herself when she heard the sound of the elevator clinking and not long after the elevator door opened, she and Leo walked side by side into the elevator.

Once in the elevator, Zoya immediately opened her voice while looking at Leo who was now standing on her right.

"Mas Leo, what are you doing? Mr. Ken is giving you a lot of work, right?" Zoya asked informally, feeling that it was just the two of them right now, so there was no need to be so formal.

Leo who heard Zoya's question again sighed deeply, making Zoya immediately understand, even without having to get an answer in the form of words.

"Ah, should you not just tell Mr. Ken, not to delegate so much work to you?" Zoya asked again which made Leo pause for a moment in his place, then opened his voice.

"If the work is related to company documents, I have absolutely no problem with Zoy. Indeed, this is still related to the company, but I'm lazy to do something unstructured."

Zoya raised an eyebrow not understanding what Leo was saying. Is there a job related to the company but not in the form of documents? Hmm maybe there is.

"What do you mean, sir? I fail to understand this." Zoya said which made Leo snort in amusement, he felt it was natural that Zoya didn't understand what he said earlier, because all this time Zoya had worked only based on documents, unlike her who also had to do work related to Ken's personal affairs.

"Yes, you know Zoy, what kind of secretary's job is it? Not only company work related to documents, but also personal matters." Leo said explaining to Zoya, Zoya nodded her head starting to understand what Leo was saying.

"Ah yes, duh I almost forgot. Even though I like reading office romance manhwas between secretary and CEO. Tsk tsk tsk." Zoya grumbled to herself, causing Leo to chuckle softly. Seeing Zoya's current behavior for some reason was able to make her not think too much about the work that Ken gave her yesterday.

"Thank you Zoy. You have comforted me, I feel a little less tired."

Zoya who heard Leo's words also had a smile on her face with one hand stretched out to pat Leo's back on the left.

"If you need references and suggestions, don't hesitate to come to me, sir. Although I don't know how much advice I will give you, but at least you feel a little relieved that you have told me everything."

Leo nodded his head slowly in response to Zoya's words with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, I'll tell you later when I feel there's no other way."

Zoya nods her head with a smile plastered on her face. "Ready sir."

Ting!

Not long after, the elevator door opened right on the floor where the Finance Department was located.

"Then I'll go first, sir, see you." Zoya said while waving one hand at Leo.

Leo also nodded his head while waving his hand in response to Zoya even without saying a word.

When the elevator doors closed again, Leo took another deep breath while staring at his own reflection reflected on the elevator walls.

"There's no way I didn't tell Zoya that I was having trouble finding some female candidates for a contract marriage with Ken. One company would be in an uproar, even though I know Zoya would never spread the news." Leo muttered to himself.

Leo chose to stay where he was trying to think about what he had just said.

"Hmm, but maybe if Ken refuses the girls I've listed, maybe I'll ask Zoya for help." Leo muttered while nodding his head in agreement with what he said earlier to ask Zoya for help if he really couldn't find another woman who would marry Ken.

Knock knock

Zoya, who was currently tidying up some of the documents she had been working on earlier, turned her head towards the door of the finance manager's room when she heard a knock on the door, as well as Hesti, who was staring at the laptop screen, now turned her head towards the door of the finance manager's room which was closed. being knocked by someone and it turns out that person is Leo.

A small frown appeared on Hesti and Zoya's forehead when they found the CEO's secretary standing at the door of the finance manager's room. Not only Hesti and Zoya were surprised by Leo's presence, but the staff of the finance department also frowned as they were surprised to see the man's arrival.

"Zoy, try to open the door, maybe there's something important Leo wants to talk about." Hesti said to Zoya who had nodded her head in response to what he said.

Zoya is now walking towards the door of the finance manager's room and opens the door with a feeling of wonder and curiosity.

"Afternoon, Mr. Leo, what are you doing here, sir?" Zoya asked when she had opened the door to the finance manager's room and was now standing right in front of Leo.

Leo who was asked by Zoya instead of answering, he turned his head to look at Hesti who happened to be now directing her eyes towards him.

"Miss Hesti sorry to interrupt. Can I ask Zoya out for a minute, because I have something I want to talk to her about." Leo's words made Hesti, Zoya and the finance department staff frown in surprise.

Hesti was silent for a moment, considering whether she should give permission or not, because she and Zoya are currently working on financial reports.

"Hmm, that's fine. But don't take too long, because we are working on the report that Mr. Ken asked for." Said Hesti which was immediately answered with a quick nod of his head by Leo.

"Okay ma'am, calm down. You won't be too long to talk about this"

Hesti nodded her head back in response to what Leo said and now her eyes turned to Zoya who was staring at her.

"Well, you go with Mr. Leo first, let me carry on this report." Hesti said and Zoya replied with a nod of her head.

Now Zoya's eyes turned to Leo. "Okay Mr. Leo, let's talk now."

Leo again nodded his head in response to Zoya's words, then he said goodbye to Hesti and walked out of the finance department room along with Zoya who was walking behind him.

Zoya who was walking towards the exit of the finance department room accidentally met her eyes with her four friends who were looking at her with a surprised look.

Zoya, who didn't know what Leo was going to talk about, shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly to show that she didn't know what Leo was talking about right now.

Zoya's four best friends who are none other than Liv, Naomi, Pidey and Piyu sighed in disappointment because they didn't get any gossip material today.

Meanwhile, Leo, who was now standing outside the finance department, immediately changed his facial expression to a sad expression, making Zoya immediately roll her eyes in surprise and squealed softly seeing the change in expression on Leo's face at this time.

"Zoya, I beg you, help me, just this once, I'm really at a loss what to do." Leo said while lowering his head for a while, then raised it again and looked at Zoya with a sad expression.

Zoya who saw the reaction and also heard the words that was said by Leo furrowed her forehead in surprise.

"Oh my gosh, what's wrong with you? What do you want to ask for help?" Zoya asked which made Leo pause for a moment in his place, before finally choosing to open his voice and immediately making Zoya roll her eyes even more surprised to hear what Leo said.

"Zoya I beg you to register Mr. Ken for the blind date tonight!"
