Pricilla Queen George, the youngest daughter in the George family who has just graduated from her master's degree after years of studying at a university in the city of Jakarta. She graduated as the most outstanding student on her campus. Because of her intelligence, the girl who is usually called Cilla can immediately work at a large company as a secretary to the CEO. It's a shame that being a secretary didn't expect what Cilla imagined, moreover she got a boss who was elegant and arrogant. Cilla is an American-Indonesian half-breed and has a beautiful face that fascinates many men at the beginning of their meeting, but this does not apply to Cilla's boss, Leon. Gradually, due to Cilla's frequent interactions with her boss, the two of them began to feel the seeds of love until finally Leon confessed his love for the girl first. However, after only a few weeks, the two of them were in a relationship, Leon's past appeared, which in fact Leon had not completely forgotten about it. What about the boss and secretary relationship? Will Leon choose to maintain their budding relationship? Or does Leon prefer a past that he can't forget?
A girl just got out of a car that stopped right in front of a tall building with ten floors. The girl was very neatly dressed, with black pants and a white shirt attached to her body. Don't forget a distinctive envelope, like someone who is going to apply for a job.
"I hope today goes well, and I hope the CEO is well," muttered the girl before stepping into the building where she would work.
She is Pricilla Queen George, the youngest daughter in the George family, who has just graduated from her master's degree after years of studying at one of the famous universities in New York City. He graduated as the most outstanding student on campus. As a result of her intelligence, the girl, who is usually called Cilla, can be immediately employed in a large company as a secretary to the CEO.
So, even if she came looking like she was about to apply for a job, the girl would still be immediately hired as the CEO's secretary, and the envelope she was carrying contained her important data.
"Excuse me."
"With Miss Pricilla?" Cilla didn't have time to continue her words when she arrived at the reception; the woman who was the receptionist was there immediately.
"Ah, yes, Sis," Cilla replied, smiling awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable with the call the woman in front of her made
"You can go straight to Mr. Alexander's room; let me take Miss!" The receptionist bowed slightly before exiting the reception desk area.
"Yeah, thanks; sorry beforehand if it bothers you," Cilla replied, feeling uncomfortable. The reason is that he feels like he is special, and he is suspicious of his dad.
'I think he knows that I'm Daddy's child. Daddy must have done something to make him really polite to me, and that's also the reason why I can be the CEO's secretary, thought Cilla. She still can't believe that she immediately became the secretary of a CEO just by being the most outstanding student and receiving the highest grade. Cilla feels there is a bit of an oddity.
"No problem, Miss, come on!" After the receptionist smiled kindly, the woman walked ahead of Cilla to start. Cilla just nodded and followed him from behind.
However, it didn't take long before the female receptionist stopped and spoke again. "Sorry, miss, you can walk beside me; I'd feel bad if you did this," he said, smiling.
Again, Cilla nodded, not forgetting to return the woman's smile before taking a step forward so that the two were aligned.
A few minutes later, Cilla and the receptionist arrived in front of the special room for the CEO and owner of the largest company in New York City.
While the second company belongs to Daddy Cilla, that's not why Cilla accepts this company's offer to become a secretary; instead, he wants to work in a place other than a place that is still in contact with his Daddy because he feels it would be useless to work there because he takes advantage of insiders, even though it is his own Daddy's wish.
Creak!
The door to the CEO's room was immediately opened by the receptionist, who was with Cilla. It seemed that the CEO had indeed been waiting for Cilla's arrival, which had been discussed since yesterday by interns and permanent employees at Alexander's Corp.
"Good afternoon, sir. I brought Miss Pricilla, who just arrived," said the lady at the reception; to make it easier, just call her Lea. It can be seen that the woman has three heads, far from Cilla's age.
Cilla, who is now behind Lea, just stays silent, waiting for the man who sits in the boss' oversized chair to turn around because his desk position is facing the entrance to the CEO's special room.
"Hm, please, you can go!"
Cilla took a rough gulp of her spit, feeling a little nervous after hearing the deep and deep voice of the CEO of Alexander's Corp., whose face had not yet been shown to Cilla. The man's position was still facing the window with his back to Cilla and Lea.
"Okay, sir, I'm sorry."
"Me first, Miss Cilla, cheers!" Lea continued, turning around to encourage Cilla while smiling broadly as if the two of them had known each other for a long time.
Spontaneously, Cilla smiled back, no less sweet. "Thanks, sis," he replied while nodding.
After Lea left, Cilla looked at the CEO of Alexander's Corp. with a feeling of trepidation. Still waiting the man turned around and spoke to her.
"Ahem, please sit across from me!" ordered the man with the surname Alexander without looking at Cilla.
Not wanting to be labeled as a slow woman, Cilla deftly walks to the table and sits right in front of the Alexander's Corp. CEO, automatically turning her back to the wide window in the CEO's special room.
Thump!
Cilla was shocked after being able to look directly into the face of her future boss. Not because there was anything strange about that face, but Cilla was quite fascinated by the look that her future boss had.
'My God, Your creation is so beautiful, Lord. It turns out that I'm really still young', Cilla thought with a latent exaggerated nature.
Leonardo Frians Alexander, as Cilla remembered, was the full name of the future boss, who was now right in front of her and was only blocked by a large table. Cilla doesn't express more about her future boss because she doesn't believe what people say about the CEO of Alexander's Corp., who is said to be handsome and young. All Cilla has in mind is the CEO, who is old and married. It seems that the words of people who are not convinced are true after Cilla saw them with her own eyes.
"Why? Are you fascinated by me? Or have you never seen a man as handsome as me?" The question with a tone full of arrogance that Cilla really got came from the prospective boss in front of her.
Cilla's reflex cursed inside. 'Shit! He's so confident! Why am I so stupid to stare at him like that?'
Cilla looked down for a moment. "I'm sorry, sir," he said quietly.
"I'm sorry; after all, it's normal because my charm really can't be ignored," replied the male CEO arrogantly. Just call the guy by his first name, Leon.
'How annoying, really?' Cilla thought again with a contorted expression on her face. It was the first time meeting her future boss, and she was already annoyed, especially if she was actually going to work as Leon's secretary.
"Yes, Sir." Cilla just answered, agreeing to what her future boss said. Instead of having a job at Alexander's Corp. as a secretary, Cilla might later be ridiculed by Daddy and her two older brothers.
In contrast to Cilla, who seemed to have been depressed, Leon smiled arrogantly before straightening his body with both hands placed on the table. "Okay, now is the time for me to test you first to prove that the youngest daughter of the George family is smart and reliable, or get the highest score because of an insider."
Cilla clenched her fists; she didn't accept what Leon said, but she didn't dare to argue.
***
After traveling for fifteen minutes, Cilla finally arrived in front of her house by driving her own car. The story is that the girl's business at the Alexander's Corp. company is over, and she will start work tomorrow.
You could say the distance between Cilla's house and the Alexander's Corp. company is not far or close, only moderate. So the girl did not take long to get home.
After loading her car into the garage, Cilla immediately entered the house with a slightly twisted expression, still annoyed after her meeting with the CEO of Alexander's Corp., who is now officially her boss.
"Why is your face crumpled? Is that so?" asked a man whom Cilla first met in the living room of her house.
"It turns out that the CEO of Alexander's Corp. is really annoying, Sis!"
The man who was called 'Kak' by Cilla raised one of his eyebrows. "Keep going?"
"Tsk! Never mind, talking to you is pointless, Sis!" Cilla chuckled angrily before continuing up the stairs, heading to her room on the second floor, and leaving the man whose status was her older brother in the family room alone.
Ernest Ryan George: This man is Cilla's second brother after his first brother, William Keandra George. Cilla's second sister graduated from university several years ago and is now successfully becoming a doctor. Ernest also has his own hospital in New York City.
Meanwhile, Cilla's first brother, William, is married and continues one of their father's businesses, which was neglected because his father was overwhelmed. Not only that, William also has his own business, the result of his hard work. William also has his own home with his small family abroad, namely in London. William would occasionally return to America when he had free time.
"Well," Ernest muttered as he watched his sister leave with a surprised look.
The man came home this afternoon because there were no more patients to treat at the hospital, so he could go home as he pleased because he owns the hospital himself.
Back again to Cilla, who now ends up lying on the bed after changing clothes and removing her light make-up. The girl rolls around there while playing cell phone. Cilla tries to forget the incident earlier so that tomorrow she can work enthusiastically in order to become an independent career woman without asking her parents for any money.
"I can't imagine what it would be like if I had worked with that arrogant boss; I would have been really depressed," Cilla muttered while staring at the ceiling of her room.
The girl's mind seemed to still be on Leon, who had officially become her boss at Alexander's Corp. The girl couldn't stop thinking that her fate was so bad to get a boss who was arrogant and obnoxious.
"Let's hope tomorrow goes well."
"Amen," continued Cilla, with hope for tomorrow.
Knock!
The sound of the bedroom door opening made Cilla reflexively get up from the bed in a sitting position, her eyes fixed on her bedroom door.
"Mommy," the girl muttered reflexively when she saw that it was her mother who opened the bedroom door.
Cilla's forehead wrinkled in confusion as she stared at her mother, who walked up to her without saying a word. "Why, Mom?" Cilla asked.
"Mommy wants to talk to you about something," replied Cilla's mother after sitting right beside her daughter.
Pranata George is the name of Cilla's mother, who is now looking at her daughter with a look that is difficult to interpret, as if there is something implied in Cilla's mother's eyes.
"What, Mom?" Cilla asked, made curious by the serious expression on her mother's face.
"It's very important, isn't it? How come it looks like Mommy wants to talk seriously?" Cilla continued, expressing her suspicions.
Mama Cilla nodded without losing her serious face. "Yes, first of all, Mommy asks you not to get angry rashly after Mommy talks later," Prana replied carefully.
"Why should I be angry?" Cilla asked, becoming increasingly surprised and curious about what her mother would talk to her about.
Prana took a deep breath before saying something important to his youngest daughter. "Save your questions."
"Mommy and Daddy plan to set you up with the child of Daddy's friend."
Good!
Like being struck by lightning in the afternoon, Cilla's heart seemed to stop beating as a result of being surprised to hear her mother's story. His mouth felt numb just to protest and refute his mother's words because he was too surprised.
"Cilla, I'm sorry Mommy, this is for your own good. At the age of 23, you are about to turn 23, and you haven't found a partner yet, making your Daddy think that you should get married as soon as possible before you get used to living independently and sustainably. You don't want to get married. Don't be angry, Cilla, Mommy, and Daddy. I think this is the best way for you." At length, Prana explained gently to Cilla so that the girl would understand what Prana and her husband, who is alias Cilla's papa, meant.
Cilla stared at her mother with unreadable eyes, her mouth still closed in silence, before shaking her head. "Can I ask a favor or not, Mom?"
"What, honey?" asked Prana softly.
"Please come out and leave me alone first!" Cilla asked before turning her face the other way.
"But--"
Cilla looked at her mother with pleading eyes. "Please, Mom!"
Prana took a deep breath before nodding resignedly, then left his youngest daughter's room feeling anxious, either because of Cilla's anger at him or because she refused the matchmaking request.
