Chapter-05

"I swear to God, I didn't really enjoy the concert last night." Naura said.

Aurelia just shook her head. She also knew that throughout watching the concert Naura was more often nagging, babbling incoherently because she was not visible at all. Gibran seemed to close Naura's access to see the concert. Plus, Gibran even dared to pull Naura to stand next to him, removing the jacket she was wearing to cover her legs which were exposed from behind. It is also certain that Naura's age is not a teenager, where shorts are not suitable for this kind of event. Naura should know that, why should she wear shorts in a public place crowded with people?

"But yesterday Mr. Gibran was really sweet to you." Aurelia chuckled.

Naura rolled her eyes lazily. "Sweet what? Everyone would do the same thing as him. Don't overdo it."

But in fact this was the first time Aurelia had seen something like that. Ever since Gibran returned from Aussie, there had been so many employees who wanted to win Gibran's heart. But in fact there was not a single person who managed to attract Gibran's attention at all. It's as if the wall that Gibran built is thick and high enough to penetrate. Including Tasya, who was rumored to be close to Gibran and became Gibran's future wife. But Gibran's attitude towards Tasya was too flat, making everyone understand that it was not Tasya that Gibran wanted.

Until Naura came along and changed everything. Even in this office, Naura is famous for being the bravest to fight every day with Gibran. No one dares because they are afraid of being fired from this house, and it is certain that people who leave here are mostly wine for the rest of their lives. There would be no one who would accept them to work in a new place after being fired from this company.

Aurelia shifted her seat even closer to Naura. They were in the pantry so no one would know they were gossiping. "According to you. But we think this is the first time Mr. Gibran has done that. He also has no problem fighting with you. How come you're so insensitive."

Naura was getting confused. "What kind of insensitivity? What do you mean!"

"Mr. Gibran is interested in you."

Byurrr

Naura spit out the drink that had just entered her mouth. Turning her head slowly, as if she wanted to protest what Aurelia was talking about.

"Repeat?" Naura said convincingly.

"Mr. Gibran is interested in you, Naura!"

"Even though he's the only man in the world. I'm sure ... I'm the first person who will reject that. I don't want to be liked by an obscure person like Mr. Gibran." Naura exclaimed. She disagreed with Aurelia's words. Fighting every day, giving attention doesn't mean it can be said that you are interested, right? It could be that Gibran's attitude had been annoying for a long time, invisible because there was no suitable opponent for Gibran.

"Don't say that, Nau. I'm afraid I'll really fall in love."

Naura knocked her head and the pantry table in turn. "God forbid ... it's like there's no other guy besides him. Anyway, I don't want to."

Hearing this, Aurelia chuckled. She mentioned the office party that would be held in the villa because she won the tender. It was also difficult to get permission from Gibran, who would also come to the party. Aurelia only made sure that Naura came with her that day.

On the other hand, someone was smiling a little at Naura and Aurelia's words. Not for now, but it was certain that Aurelia would fall in love with him.

"I'm confused about which clothes to wear." Naura said looking at some photos of her collection of clothes.

Aurelia, who was interested, immediately grabbed Naura's cellphone. This heart intention points to a photo of a dress that she thinks is good. But it was hindered by the sound of a small humming sound standing not far from her. Who else if not Tasya, Gibran's favorite woman.

"That crazy kid again! I'm so sick of looking at him." Naura snorted.

"He's not much different from you in age, but his attitude is like a kid yesterday afternoon. Likes to complain to Mr. Gibran about what happened." Aurelia explained

Judging from her face, it was clear that the woman was interested in Gibran. Only, she didn't dare to show it openly. She acted like a child in order to be protected and be able to stay close to Gibran. Maybe that way she can attract Gibran's sympathy to keep Gibran's attention.

Meanwhile, Naura who saw something like that was disgusted. The stupid and blind woman in love didn't know that there were many more handsome men out there than Gibran. Men who are more everything than Gibran, and why is she competing for Gibran's attention? Would she die if she didn't get Gibran's attention?

Nudging Naura's arm, Aurelia chuckled. "Mr. Gibran is handsome, Nau. You like to collect handsome guys on your phone, is Mr. Gibran not included in the list?" Aurelia chuckled.

Naura's eyes glazed over perfectly. Gibran's longevity is indeed, it was just talked about that he had just come over to Tasya and invited her to go home together. It was a different story with Naura who hitchhiked with Aurelia because her car had to go to the garage first. Understandably, it was time for service but because she was busy working Naura forgot.

"I'd rather be with Mr. Tarjo than with Mr. Gibran. He's not really my type, his face is too stiff like folio paper." Naura mocked.

By the way, Mr. Tarjo is one of the security guards working in this office. He is almost forty years old, he just lost his wife due to severe illness. And currently his status is still a widower, with a tall stature, a slightly chubby body with curly hair. Not particularly handsome but arguably cute when he smiled showing his silver teeth on the side.

Aurelia chuckled. "But no one beats his good looks, Nau."

Still Naura didn't like it. From the moment she saw him, Naura had disliked Gibran. Either way, Naura didn't like him. The first impression was stiff like a banana leaf, his face was flat with no smile at all like a stiff folio paper. Naura also disliked the way he walked too hastily. Is it possible that the boss walks like that?

Not wanting to think about it, they decided to go home. Better to rest and prepare for tomorrow to go to the party. There are so many things Naura has to prepare, she doesn't want to look bad in everyone's eyes. Moreover, her image in front of other employees must be good. A firm and fierce impression must be seen there, so that no one dares to talk about or say to her at the party.

"I have to make sure I have a good dress for tomorrow." Naura said.

"Right. You also have to look the most outstanding from the others." Added Aurelia, as if agreeing with what Naura said. "Who knows after the party you can find a soul mate." Her words made Naura glare perfectly.

"Damn it!!! The last one can't be removed?"

"That's already included in my list." Aurelia replied casually while shaking her head. "You've aged a lot Nau, how come you don't want to be like the others?"

Naura glanced at Aurelia briefly before her cell phone rang. She glanced at her phone screen which showed her mother's call id. It was unusual for her mother to call today, usually she was so busy with personal matters that she forgot she had this beautiful only child.

"Yes Mi why?" She said without greeting.

"I'm coming home tonight, I have a family dinner."

"How come?" Naura frowned in surprise.

"Just go home already. There are important things that Mami wants to talk to you about. At seven o'clock I'll be waiting at home, okay honey bye!"

Hanging up the phone unilaterally, Naura chuckled in annoyance. Telling Aurelia to take her back to her mother's house. They had something important to talk about, but what?
