That day passed quite a long time, after all the work was over, Ilona immediately went out to the parking lot. This woman is indeed beautiful with long, half-brown hair, flawless white skin, an ideal tall body with fashionable clothes in one amazing combination. What's more, she is intelligent, very smart. Some of the boys in the office liked her, but she was that innocent and workaholic girl who broke their hearts. She hardly sees men as men, all genders are the same, that's how she treats all her coworkers
Ilona pressed the button on the elevator door to go to the basement, in the elevator room she met her manager, Jason. The man was with some advertising staff.
"Good evening, Sir," said Ilona.
"Hi, Ilona," said Jason.
Some of the advertising staff seemed busy consulting while walking with their boss. Jason is always busy, so he's always open for his staff to consult anywhere and anytime, as long as it's in the office. After leaving the office, the staff did not dare to disturb his rest time, because everybody knows it is very short.
The advertising staff went down to the second floor and only Ilona and Jason were left in the lift leading to the basement parking lot.
"How's the food? Do you like it?" he asked.
"Oh yes, Sir. I wanted to say thank you earlier, but it seems you are still very busy," Ilona replied reluctantly.
"How about the taste?" Jason asked again.
"Savory and tender chicken, Sir. The food came right when I was hungry, like a blessing," she said.
"Hahaha, that means it feels good because you're just hungry Ilona!" Jason laughed derisively.
"Oops, no Sir! I think because the food is cooked well! Wenny, Mira, and Jenni also ate, instead the chicken was taken away," added Ilona.
"That means you're still hungry?" teased the manager again.
"No, Sir. The food is quite a lot, it's just that I have a friend who likes to be nosy!” while defending herself.
“That's great. Next time we'll just eat at the outlet directly with your team!” Jason offered.
"That great, Sir, really waiting for it! Hihihi,” Ilona smiled.
"Ump, I am sorry, Sir. I'll excuse you first, thank you for the treat, we'll be more enthusiastic about working, Sir," Ilona said while bowing politely then walked away while trotting a little towards her car. Jason just smiled at his staff's behavior.
***Today, Ilona's mother accidentally came to her apartment, and because of that, she wanted to go home and meet her mother. Ilona's car drove quite carefully and arrived at her apartment. Ilona's mother must have come, she could enter easily because Ilona did give her a spare key.
“Mom...!” Ilona opened the door while calling her mother.
“Ilona, is that you, Dear?” came a soft voice from inside the house.
They hugged each other and seemed to miss each other, Ilona had not visited her mother's house for several months. This was because Ilona was always busy at work.
"How's your job? Is there a problem, Dear?" began to chat while removing some food.
“Beef Rib Red Soup! it's a blessing! Thank, Mom!” without answering her mother's question Ilona was more focused on the food she brought.
“Spicy smoked beef! Ahhh, Mom you are the best!” Ilona hugged her mother while continuing to focus on food.
“Ilona, I asked. How is your work? Is there a problem?" Her mother asked again.
"Nope! All save, no problem!” Ilona calms down.
"How about a boyfriend? Do you have one yet?” Mama Ilona asked hopefully.
While chewing chicken croquettes, Ilona shook her head, a sign that she still doesn't have a boyfriend.
"Never mind, Mama just needs to calm down, the match will come in time!" Ilona quibbled.
"Yes dear, they will come, but for people who want to try," said the mother who understood her daughter's behavior.
"Hehehe, I'll take a shower first," Ilona tried to escape from her mother's interrogation and headed for the bathroom.
The day was full of food, food is one way to get closer to a relationship. Especially for people with hungry stomachs.

Eldrian put on his sunglasses, the sun in Dubai was indeed hotter than in Indonesia. While opening some documents, he talked with several men dressed like Arabian princes. It's like they are negotiating for the marketing of several technology products across countries. But all of that ended in a profitable agreement for both companies. The contract was signed and they shook hands, a sign that the cooperation had been decided.
Eldrian left with Daniel towards the direction of his hotel room. Lots of foreigners in Dubai. The atmosphere was different in comparison to Saudi Arabia and other United Arab Emirates countries. They are more open to foreigners, even more open than Asians. Of course, it's very hard for Daniel's eyes not to flirt
when several Caucasian women with blonde hair and sexy clothes walked to and fro.“Daniels! Your work is done, you can go out without me!" Eldrian gave his secretary a chance to have fun.
"Okay, Bro!" Daniel smiled happily.
"But, don't get in trouble, Niel! Don't play with naughty girls!” Eldrian reminded
“Okay, Eldrian. Don't worry! I still know my limits!" countered Daniel.
Outside working hours, Daniel and Eldrian are very close like brothers. They are college friends and have been friends for a long time.
"Okay, enjoy your time!" Eldrian let Daniel go as he entered the hotel room and started to change clothes.
Eldrian's room was quite spacious, his clients treated them very well. All facilities are borne by Dubai investors. After changing clothes, Eldrian walked towards the balcony while carrying a fresh drink that he took from the refrigerator. He saw that Dubai was indeed amazing, its skyscrapers could no longer be counted on the fingers. There are so many, it's not wrong for him to choose investors here because once an agreement is made, the nominal amount he gets is quite large.
Eldrian looked down and immediately saw the swimming pool area. Seen Daniel was cool there talking with several women in bikinis. Daniel is indeed a man full of charm, he easily gets female friends. Indeed his secretary was handsome and fluent in foreign languages. He speaks three languages, English, French, and Russian. This made foreign women impressed with him. Eldrian smiled at his friend's behavior.
Occasionally, the foreign woman laughed, they chatted like meeting old friends. Very natural and looks fun. It was completely different from Eldrian who always had problems when having relationships with women. Sometimes he wants to ask Daniel about how to attract women. But of course, it's impossible because his prestige is also above average.
Drrrrr...!
Eldrian's cell vibrated. He can see some notifications and chat messages that haven't been opened. There was one thing that surprised him. Message from a number named ILONA. Eldrian's eyes widened. He didn't expect to receive a message from her.
He began to open messages.
“Ziyan, are you sick? Is there any problem? Why haven't you been to the office these past few days?" asked Ilona.
Eldrian's heart filled with joy, he had the impression that a woman was asking how he was doing. What's more, the woman thought he was just an ordinary man and not a CEO.
Immediately Eldrian made a reply.
"No Miss, I was just sent to the head office by Mr. Howard to help with some preparations for launching a new product in Dubai next week," he answered politely.
Eldrian waited, he wondered if his message would be read immediately, or if it would be answered immediately. But it turned out that he had been waiting for Ilona for some time and had not read the message he sent.
Maybe she was busy thought Eldrian. Eldrian didn't know that Ilona deliberately didn't open her cell phone because there were lots of messages in her campus alumni group.
Yup! About the reunion of course. It turned out that Eldrian was replying to messages at an inopportune time.
Aria pedaled the bicycle excitedly. The fresh air in rural areas is very different compared to the city. Before reaching the busy point of Vanhal city, Aria also passed other residents' houses, but there it was quiet, just like empty houses whose owners had left.“Woah, no wonder at the night this place so dark, the houses around here are empty," muttered Aria.Aria continued pedaling, she went some distance along the main road but still didn't find anyone there. Only after a kilometer of travel did she find a house with normal residents."It turns out that the area where Anne's house is is quite remote!" Aria muttered.Houses were lined up close together, lots of people passing by, cars, pedestrians, and shops with lots of buyers in sight, someone was seen selling cakes, vegetables, and also beautiful cut flowers. Aria parked her bicycle and started walking in the shopping area, unfortunately, she didn't bring any money so she could go shopping. But she thought again because she did
The restaurant where Aria works has six employees. Two chefs, two waitresses, one cook helper, and one operational manager. Aria got to know everyone, they were all friendly. Everything is fine until Fiona, a new friend who is also a waitress, seems to want to avoid her.Aria felt her behavior was strange, but fortunately, the other friends looked normal. A big man named Gustav who is a chef started asking Aria.“Aria, have you been in Vanhall for a long time?” he asked.“Not yet, this is my third day. "I've never been here before," answered Aria."Where do you come from?" he asked in surprise.“I live in Urkesh,” she answered.“Wow, it's a big city. Why are you staying here? This place is nothing if compared with Urkesh," asked Gustav.“I was an orphan, I lived alone, and my aunt adopted me. So, here I am!” she answered.“Oh God! Poor beautiful girl, I will be nice to you. If you want to eat anything you tell me I will cook it for you!" said Gustav very friendly."Thank you, Gustav,"
The reunion event started to get crowded, and Ilona who had to advance started following the impromptu game made by the host.It's as if the host wants to tell you that single status is because they can't communicate with the opposite sex. Then the event ended with a prayer so that the singles can find a mate soon. Fransisca and Indah giggled when they saw Ilona's blushing face being teased by the host."you suck!" complained Ilona."Darling, don't take it seriously, it was all just a joke!" Indah said with a little bit of laughter.Not long after, a man came and asked Ilona to meet him. The game was enough to make the men interested because there was a beautiful woman with the status of “Singles” up on the stage. But as usual, Ilona didn't respond and instead went to the bathroom.The reunion was over, the three girls said goodbye to each other after kissing the right and left cheeks. That day Ilona didn't bring her car because her car was put in a garage for routine service. You can
At the office, Wenny immediately greeted Ilona and started talking about the charity event they were going to do.A Charity event that is intentionally sponsored personally from the CEO's funds.“Yup! I have heard that Mr. Jason told me to make an event with the orphanage, it's just that I'm still confused about what kind of event is fun for children," Ilona answered."Today we have to get the idea!" while hugging her partner's shoulder a sign of asking for support."Ready!" Wenny is excited.In the morning, with positive spirits, Wenny and Ilona went up to the 4th floor where they worked.When they got there, there was a small commotion, there was a problem in the day that forced them to be busy. They haven't had time to discuss event ideas, there are serious problems that must be resolved.Silvia, a new staff in the product design editing department, forgot to include the item code that must be printed on the product packaging today. She was confused because 40,000 packages had been
HEAD OFFICE MEETING ROOMZiyan, who was in a meeting with several shareholders, was suddenly amazed by a message.Yes, it was a message from Ilona who would pick him up tonight. A smile developed at the corners of his thin lips, for some reason he really couldn't hold back the corners of his lips to stop smiling in the middle of a meeting."Is something wrong, Sir?" asked Daniel curiously. He realized there was something strange about his boss.“No, just a cute message” he replied.Without thinking long and asking what Eldrian was for, he replied to Ilona's message."Okay," he replied.As usual problems in meetings always develop. Moreover, Eldrian wanted to spend quite a fantastic amount of money on a charity event. But Eldrian argued quite logically that it would not harm the company. The social events will boost the company's prestige and won't put them in a deficit. Because it's only 2% profit from the profit he got from Dubai before. Eldrian wants his business to be blessed not
At the bistro, Ilona and Ziyan started to get to know each other by talking about charity events. Suddenly Ziyan came up with an idea that Ilona thought was interesting."So make the kids have fun with outbound and sports competitions. Prepare some prizes. Running competitions, fun competitions. Invite them to eat outdoors party in the park and finally distribute scholarships. One more thing for the show! Can it be a fairy tale, or a drama and music!” Ziyan suddenly expressed his idea without pause.Before Ilona could comment, Ziyan had already started talking.“I'm sure it will be a very fun event for children. Oh yeah, don't forget the balloons, prepare lots of balloons and distribute them!” Ziyan's eyes lit up.Ilona, it was almost hard to swallow the steak she was chewing. Ziyan's idea, which suddenly appeared, made him astonished and impressed at the same time."Your idea is good, I'll try to negotiate with my boss later!" Ilona seemed to agree."Hmm, good luck huh!" Ziyan said
2 weeks agoSunday afternoon, Eldrian looked engrossed in opening a diamond necklace catalog at a jewelry store. Eldrian wanted to surprise his girlfriend Venya tonight. It's been a few weeks since they have had to keep in touch long distance because Eldrian is taking care of some business in Japan. The plan that night was to pick up Venya at her apartment, bring a bouquet, order a place for dinner, and give a special gift. Very mature preparation for a romantic date.“I want this one!” Eldrian said to the shopkeeper.Eldrian chose a small key-shaped diamond necklace with a heart symbol in the center. Very beautiful, and able to represent the feelings of longing at that time. While checking his cell phone he smiled when he found out that Daniel had successfully ordered and arranged the place Eldrian wanted to eat that night. Everything was ready before 8 p.m. Eldrian was dressed very handsomely. Driving his black car he was ready to go to his girlfriend's apartment to surprise her.
At the office that morning it seemed that Jeremy was in the mood to talk, he explicitly wanted to have lunch together but Ilona gave a flat answer.“Not coming out! It's just at the office food court, I'm too lazy to go out today, my website is still not in order!” she said."Okay, I'll see you there later!" asked Jeremy as he walked away.Many know that Jeremy has always been kind to Ilona, it seems that the man is interested in her. It's just that the friend zone fence that Ilona made is too high so most men have to make lots of reasons about work to get close to her. Ilona just smiled without promising, she was still cool and focused on the new product pictures she got from her email this morning. Yup, cooler and more sophisticated than the old ones."Hi, Besties!" said Wenny who had just returned from the exhibition."Hello, Baby! How are you doing?" Lona asked her friend."Go on! How did you get the idea for the social event?” Wenny reminded."Oh yeah, later when you're free,
