It was the first day of Liana's transfer to the secretarial division. Honestly, why all of a sudden?
It was impossible if there was no reason. Was it because of the criticism from the photographer? But it seemed impossible because it was the first time this photographer criticized her.
So, why?
"LIANA, WAKE UP!"
Liana's friends shout from outside of her boarding house. Last night, Liana and Sally partied in the yard of their boarding house while enjoying the beauty of Jakarta's city at night, seeing the tall buildings that, one by one, the lights dimmed to dark.
As a result of staying up late last night, Liana hadn't woken up yet from a dream. Sally tried her best to wake her up because last night Liana told her that she would work as Secretary to the Director. So, Sally suggested that Liana should leave early in the morning, to give a good impression as the new secretary, in the eyes of her new boss and the senior secretaries.
"LYN LIANA ...WAKE UP ...!"
Sally chuckled irritably. Liana didn't wake up even though Sally was screaming as loud as possible. "WAKE UP ... LIANA ... !!!" She shouted again. If the door were not locked, Sally would have entered Liana's room and poured her with water.
Sally was still banging on the door really loud. "LIANAA !!! WAKE UP! LIANAA WAKE UP !!!! Gosh! LIANA!" Sally grumbled.
Inside the small boarding house, Liana felt disturbed by Sally's scream, which slowly turned into loud sounds. There was a sound of screaming, accompanied by a fairly loud bang on the door. Half conscious, Liana opened her eyes and immediately jumped out of bed when she saw the clock showing eight o'clock in the morning.
"What?! Eight o'clock? Shit !!!"
It was bad, today was the first day of being the new secretary, and Liana woke up late? Oh no! It should have started well, but it wasn't at all.
"Duhh, what should i do?" Liana was panicked, walked around, and looked for towels. After seeing the location where the towel was hanging - as fast as lightning she grabbed it and immediately went into the bathroom, doing the 'ritual.'
What a bad day!
Even though it was too late, Liana had to dress up a super feminine look with her hair neatly blown to make her look perfect. "Watch, checked! What's lacking, huh? Ah, ya, my phone." She was looking for her cell phone that she forgot where it was. When did she hold and where did she put it.
Gotcha! She found it, which apparently was under the blanket.
While running into the courtyard towards the main road, she ran in eleven cm high heels and called a passing taxi. It was very difficult to run in high heels.
"Taxi!" shouted Liana to the passing taxi.
"Good luck, Liana! Wish you have a good first day of being the Director's secretary!" Sally shouted from the end of the stairs up there, Liana's position on the side of the highway.
"Thanks, Sal! Wish everything well!" said Liana in return, waving Sally.
Fortunately, Sally woke Liana. If she didn't, it would be possible for Liana continued sleeping until the sun was on the head of the human.
Liana was touched. She was about to turn around to hug her friend who was biting a sandwich after shouting encouragement. 'Okay, Liana etter have to hurry to the office, it's too late today.'
"Fighting!!!!" Sally encouraged Liana again, who had gotten into a taxi and was about to move away, taking Liana to the office.
****
In the office, Liana ran while carrying high heels, and she looked for an elevator to go to the secretary division room. Finally, she managed to find an elevator that would take her to the tenth floor.
"Wait, please! Don't close the elevator doors yet." Liana's screams blared from the end of the corridor to stop the lift door that had closed. "I want to come in, wait!"
Today it took a lot of energy. Liana was already sweating, flooding her forehead, sweat as corn seeds. Panting — catching her breath, Liana galloped into the elevator.
"Wait! Don't hang up yet!" cried Liana, begging.
The elevator doors opened.
"Finally ..." The woman let out a sigh of relief, and luckily the doors weren't completely closed. Why didn't she just wait for the next elevator? One reason, time, she was too late. Liana got into the lift. The door was completely closed. "Thanks God I can stop it. So, I will not wait long," muttered Liana quietly.
"Ehem." The male voice cleared his throat.
At first, Liana caught her breath, now her breath caught in her throat stopped breathing. She turned to the corner side of the lift. She suddenly couldn't move. She just realized there was a man behind her leaning back while reading a journal. Oops, that man must have heard her murmuring and screams.
The man raised his head, glanced at Liana. An astonished facial expression. Liana became embarrassed when the man looked at her. 'Gosh, what kind of luck is this?' After almost getting late to work, and now she was in an elevator with the prince who .... Liana didn't know what to say. Maybe he was a Korean Oppa prince.
Liana felt awkward. She smiled forcefully, then nodded in respect, a form of politeness.
A handsome man like a prince descended from the sky. Really, this guy was very attractive. Ignoring Liana's smile, his style looked cool and could attract attention, and Liana was now blown away. 'Is it your first time meeting then you already fascinated?' Haha. Liana also did not expect to be charmed by the man. Really handsome like Jae Joong in the Korean drama titled Protect the Boss. He was tall and had an athletic body. Not to mention his lips, ah ...it was seductive, thin and pink.
Perfect, right?
"Oops ...he's really my dream man," thought Liana about the handsome man. Gosh, this man caught her attention in just one second. "Gosh! His skin fair and clean skin. It must be soft and smooth like a woman's skin." Liana's eyes were increasingly looking for opportunities from that man's perfection. "Perfect!"
Satisfied, Liana turned forward, clearing her throat to dispel the silence but still, the silence was created. One lift with the prince? Wow. Was she dreaming?
Suddenly there was a rattling sound of the lift. It was shaken a little for a moment, making it immediately stop moving, and the lights went out instantly.
Dark. Liana's gaze darkens. She became self-conscious in the sudden darkness.
"Jeez? What's wrong with this? How come it suddenly got dark, huh? Akhh! I need light. Please, please!" Without realizing it, Liana screamed hysterically. Fright.
Liana was afraid of the dark. Very scared. She disliked it so much. Darkness was the first thing Liana hated and disliked. It was dark without lighting or moonlight. In the midst of darkness, Liana screamed hysterically, and her heart was beating fast. Cold sweat poured out, again wetting the skin on her body. The reason why she didn't like dark was that it made her remember the past. Memories of the past when Liana was kidnapped by an unknown person, those memories began to haunt her memories and return to the surface. Since then, Liana had become a woman who hated darkness without any light, including without lights.
"Help me! Help me!" Liana screamed for help again. The lights did not turn on yet. Liana thought it only took a few minutes for the lights to go out. Now she became increasingly afraid of the dark. "I...i'm...afraid of... dark ---" stuttered Liana in a trembling voice.
Without realizing it, Liana was sobbing, hysterical again, without being able to control herself. She didn't know what her hands should now hold on to, and now she needed someone beside her to accompany and calm her down. She didn't want to be alone in a dark place.
"I'm afraid, I hate the dark..." Liana complained to herself. She was still sobbing. In her heart, she hoped the lights come back on again, I hope - Liana is no longer strong against the darkness.
A moment later, Liana felt a strong hand hugging her from the side, and the voice of the man trying to calm her made her realize that she was not alone who stuck there and trapped in the dark.
"Calm down, just calm down yourself first .... Don't be afraid. It's just a normal blackout. You are not alone here. I'm here beside you. Don't be afraid, you have to be calm, you are safe." His soft voice finally made her started to be calm. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
A second later, Liana's feelings were much calmer, and the voice really calmed her. Suddenly big hands stroked Liana's hair very softly. Slowly, Pevita's fear lessened. She felt safe in his hug.No more sobs from Liana. What this man was doing was very effective when calming a woman who was afraid. "Don't be afraid, okay. This lift just get error for some minutes, not for long. Maybe because of a little technical error. This normal," said the man.Liana stopped crying. Only then did she realized she had been in the arms of an unknown man for a long time. Her consciousness returned, she thought, "Remember Liana, now you are in the lift with a handsome man! Don't embarrass yourself! How whiny!"The distance between the two of them was so close that Liana felt the man's heartbeat. The scent of masculine perfume overtook Liana's sense of smell. Fragrant, she really liked this scent. She felt more comfortable in his hug.A few minutes later, the lights suddenly flashed brightly. The fi
Liana press the tenth button of the elevator. She knew she was being gossiped about by the employees. But she did not care about it.The elevator doors opened. When she entered the secretary's room, the cold response she got. But she didn't give up. Yeah, because she didn't want the first day to be discouraged. She must still be polite to the senior secretaries.Moreover, they also shouldn't be surly and cynical, right?"Greetings all, I am Lyn Liana The new secretary is here. Nice to meet you." Liana introduced herself in a cheerful tone.No one responded. Oops, unlucky her. Having not started yet, but she got a bad impression from seniors. Other secretaries tried to ignore her. She smiled forcefully.Liana smiled wryly. She walked over in confusion. She didn't know where her desk was. "Excuse me, I–" Liana did not continue her words because the secretary assumed she wasn't there.Liana sighed harshly. Ignored."Lyn Liana, the new secretary of Director Nova?" Question from th
HE?!!!!Liana's eyes widen in surprised, staring in disbelief at what she saw now. She almost screamed. Fortunately, two palms were ready to cover her mouth. She hoped anxiously, silently praying. She hoped her new boss didn't remember what happened three months ago.Hold on .... Was it possible that she had ever meet him even before three months ago? She didn't remember clearly, but she was sure she had ever met him before. About a year ago, maybe?Her memory was recalled one year ago. At that time, it was very difficult for Liana to get a job. Yaps, she used to have bad experiences in the workplace. She was fired dozens of times. She was fired the last time when she was a waiters at a restaurant even without getting the last salary.Along the way, she read job vacancies stuck to the wall of a roadside shop. Unfortunately, no one job suited her. Annoyed, she kicked the drink can she had bought. As a result, it landed on the forehead of a man. It turned out that the man was Nova
Liana still couldn't believe what had happened, the fact that Nova was her new boss and they had met before. Three months ago? One year ago? Was it possible that Pevita would reminisce? Memories were quite attached to the memory of her brain, namely the incidents of the first time and the second time. As if fate brought the two of them together unexpectedly.And so did Nova. He could not understand that he would meet again with a woman who had said he was a jerk, just because he drove her out and told her to get out of the car. It was at that incident that Liana greeted him.After coming home from work in, late afternoon, Liana had a sharing time with her best friend, Sally. It was the first day to officially become Director Nova's secretary and her first day working as the Boss' right-hand man. She felt tired and tired. Her brain felt like there was steaming hot smoke. Sally started to make her happy, just meant to release fatigue.Huh. Liana let out a lon
Nova had accepted Liana as his secretary, he accepted her with a very heavy heart. Don't worry. He had a plan. Today, he started giving difficult tasks to Liana. He was sure that woman would not be able to work as his secretary because he would gave her many difficult tasks to carry out and demanded work.Nova started his plan. He said at length, without repeating a word. "Liana, from now on you will be Secretary Liana. A special call for you, Lian, okay! And don't call me Sir," explained Nova."Pardon?" Liana is confused. "Then what should I call you?" Liana slightly raised her head, looked straight at Nova's face who looked lazy. "Mister? Boss?" guessed her.Nova shook his head. "No! But call me, Director Nova." Nova began to stand up from his seat and circle the whitewashed room, stressing that he didn't like to call someone but never picked up. "Pick up the phone
"Good evening, Miss. Wanna dance with me?"Someone's voice came to Liana's ears. Her daydreams shattered, her eyes moved, looking at the old man in the black coat. He seemed not too old but looked like a young widower. Liana could tell this guy was exactly the same as the masher man and definitely needed a bitch to sleep with him tonight.Liana gave a fake smile. "Good evening, Sir," said Liana without hesitation.The man chuckled. "Sir? Do I look old? I'm still young," he replied. "Don't call me that. How bad," he joked.Without guilt, Liana replied, "Oh, sorry.""Will you dance with me? I've seen you just sitting here and daydreaming." His big hand asked Liana to dance, a mischievous smile etched on his thick lips. "Come with me."Liana thought. "Of course," said her.Instead of sitting and th
"STOP THERE, YOU BITCH!"A shout from Arlan for a second made Liana turn her head. Arlan chased her with already a little drunk from the effects of alcohol. With the remaining energy — Liana ran down the hall of the club. She looked for the main door.Liana heard him calling her a bitch? She smiled sarcastically. How dare that jerk to call her bitch, same with women lack caress and touch? Oh, No. She was surely not. She was just a cowardly woman for accepting sex phobia but continued to stay away from it.She hoped for someday, yeah she believed, there would be a man who could cure her phobia, as she also wanted to cure her anxiety of Nova."Hey! Catch that lady girl!" shouted Arlan again, echoing the hall. "Don't let her escape!" said Arlan to the man who ran the night club. The man was standing right in front of the entrance.Liana stopped her footsteps, and she was silent. There

He sat in the family room, watching television to get rid of boredom. It had been late, but Nova hadn't come home yet.
