LEONARDO ALBERT WINSTON

The sound of footsteps broke the silence entering the room that connects the President Director and Secretary's rooms.

Expensive paintings are beautifully displayed on every wall. A variety of classy furniture also adorns the room, adding to how classy the owner of the company is.

The Secretary's desk was empty, no one seemed to be there when someone came.

"Where's Monica?" he asked himself. "Leaving the desk during office hours. Monika, Monika!" call but still no answer. "Maybe she's in the bathroom or in with the president."

After waiting for a few minutes, there was no appearance of Monika, so the person finally decided to go inside to meet the President.

Without hesitation, the person knocked on the door but his hand stopped for a moment after hearing strange noises from inside.

"What sound is that?" he asked himself.

Very slowly, he opened the slightly ajar door to make sure what was inside.

A spoiled voice escaped from Monika's lips.

"His hands are naughty, I'm so ticklish."

"Monika, why are you getting sexier every day?" said the President who was carrying Monika.

"Is that true?" spoiled the answer. "I look sexy for you."

"You are good at taking my heart," said the President with busy hands, one by one, unbuttoning Monika's top shirt.

"It's still early, sir," protested Monika about to get off the President's lap.

But the President's hand quickly held Monika's waist so it wouldn't come down from her lap.

"Where are you going? Serve me," he whispered, biting Monika's ear slightly.

"Oh, sir, it's amused," Monika laughed spoiled in the President's lap.

"Your body has been moving all the time, you'll wake something up down there."

Monika, who heard the President's words, deliberately shook her body.

"You have to take responsibility. You are naughty," said the President, holding Monika's body and moving to the sofa in the room.

Monika, whose body was floating, was lifted by the President, laughing spoiled, wrapping her arms around the President's neck.

They did not know that outside the door, a pair of eyes were peeking.

After learning what happened inside, very carefully the door was closed again. Then leave the room to witness what happened next to them.

After a few minutes of waiting to sit in the secretary's chair, finally, the person who was waiting came out of the President's room.

"Bayu, since when have you been here?" Monika asked when she saw Bayu sitting in his chair.

Bayu then got up from his seat and invited Monika to sit down. "Since," Bayu hung up then winked at Monika, then half-whispered Bayu said, "Your hand is naughty."

Monika, who remembered her words, immediately threw the book at Bayu.

Bayu laughed out loud leaving Monika, whose face was red with embarrassment, to go to the President's room.

A voice from inside told him to come in.

"Excuse me, Sir."

"Bayu. Come in!" The president asked him to come in.

After closing the door again, Bayu stepped closer to the President's desk.

"What is it?" asked the President after Bayu stood in front of him.

"You have to sign something," said Bayu politely.

"Sit down! Which one should I sign?"

"Here, sir," Bayu handed him the document he had brought with him.

The president briefly read the document that Bayu had handed to him.

"That's the budget for our project outside the city, sir, I have calculated everything."

"Good, this project will make our company stronger," said the President, immediately signing the document.

After signing, the documents were returned to Bayu.

"Take care of everything well," said the President.

After receiving back the signed document, Bayu then said goodbye.

"Bayu, have a seat first. Accompany me for coffee, we haven't talked in a long time."

Bayu who had stood up sat back down. "Okay, sir."

"Monika, bring 2 coffees to my room!" the President ordered by telephone that was on the table and then looked at Bayu. "We haven't talked like this in a long time."

"It's been a long time, President," answered Bayu politely.

"Don't call me President, If we're alone! You're my best friend. Just call me Leo!"

Bayu smiled hearing what Leo said. "You still remember, I'm your friend," he said.

"Of course, you know me better than myself," Leo replied.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Enter!" Leo shouted.

"The coffee, sir." Monika came in with her hand carrying a small tray and placed the coffee in front of the two of them. After finishing, Monika said goodbye to leave the President and Bayu.

The president didn't blink watching Monika until she disappeared out of the door.

Silently Bayu watched him. "Do you like it?" asked Bayu.

Leo who was asked like that, of course, was taken aback. "Why do you ask?"

Bayu smiled a little, his memory immediately remembered the incident earlier. "I'm a Leo man, of course, I know the meaning of your gaze just now when you saw Monika."

"I need Monika but not to like her," Leo replied.

"Need as what?" asked Bayu looking at Leo sharply. "Need as a secretary or need to satisfy your lust?!"

Leo who was asked that way was not angry but instead burst out laughing. "Both, as a secretary and my gratification. Monika herself gave her body to me, as a normal man can I refuse?!" Leo replied.

"Monika, Leo is a good woman. There are many women out there who voluntarily climb into your bed. Not Monika! She is a good woman," Bayu advised.

Again Leo laughed. "You don't know her, Bayu," Leo said in between laughs. "Monika is not as innocent as you think."

Bayu was silent not understanding the meaning of Leo's words. "What do you mean?" he asked.

"I pay him to serve me, Monika I pay," Leo replied casually.

Bayu looked at Leo in disbelief, as if he knew what Bayu was thinking, he resumed his speech. "Ask Monika directly if you don't believe me," Leo said smiling.

"Is that true?"

"Besides, she's slept with a lot of guys. I know that," Leo said.

Bayu was silent again, he never thought that Monika could do something like that.

"What about yourself? Who is your lover now?" Leo asked changing the subject.

"I don't have a girlfriend," Bayu answered flatly.

Leo took a sip of his coffee, as did Bayu.

"A handsome boy like you doesn't have a girlfriend?!" Leo laughed derisively.

"What about yourself? Do you have a girlfriend?" Bayu reversed the question.

"If I wanted to, I would have had a girlfriend. What woman wouldn't want to be Leonardo Albert Winston's girlfriend?!" Leo said proudly.

"Arrogant! Why don't you want to?" asked Bayu again.

Leo fell silent at his friend's question. His mind drifted back to his bitter past. "You know my past, Bayu. Why ask like that?!"

"How long will you live in the shadows of the past, Leo? Forget everything! You have to find another love!" said Bayu advised.

"Love? Bullshit!!" Leo replied sarcastically.

"I know you're disappointed but it's been 4 years. Find a good woman to marry, how long are you going to sleep with so many women out there?!" asked Bayu.

Leo was silent, deep in his heart, he also wanted to live a normal life like the others. Loving and being loved, the heartache that hurts so much in his heart is very difficult to forget.

His lover's betrayal 4 years ago is still vivid in his memory.
