Old Clients
Kiano was an old client who came all the way from Bandung to Jakarta just for business with Gifer. He already considered Gifer as his own brother. They often met and called each other not only for business cooperation, but also for other things and met outside working hours. But since Gifer’s accident that blinded him, it didn’t happen anymore because Gier’s mobile phone was destroyed and the numbers of important clients like Kiano were lost. After all, after the accident Raya immediately took all the assets that Gifer received from Mr Kevin. That’s what made her lose contact from Kiano. Plus they never met because the city was so far apart.
“Alright, I’ll be here soon. Please read out the purpose of this client meeting,” Gifer ordered Sekar, the secretary.
“The purpose of this meeting is for the approval of business cooperation between GF Corp and KN corp in about three months. How about it? Will you still agree to this, sir?”
“Yes, I agree to it.”
“Oh yes, tell me a bit about Kiano that you know. He used to work with this company too, didn’t he? I forgot anything about him in the past, can you explain?” Gifer asked.
“Ah, Mr Kiano is a person who has been helping in business cooperation, besides that, he has also considered you as a close friend.”
‘If that’s the case, why didn’t he come to see me when I got into an accident? Why did he disappear without any news, and now? He suddenly sent to cooperate. This is a bit strange.’ Gifer said inwardly who felt strange with this mysterious client named Kiano. Haris who felt like Gifer was frowning in confusion, made his mouth itch to ask.
“Gif, what’s wrong with you?”
“Ah, it’s okay, Ris.”
“Oh yes, Sekar. Please prepare the files for this meeting. I’m sorry, because I can’t see, so I can’t type either, maybe your work will increase, I’m sorry to trouble you,” Gifer felt guilty to his secretary.
“No problem, sir. After all, I’m a secretary, so my job is also to write and type, right? No problem, I’ll do as you say.” Sekar walked out of Gifer’s room and sat on his secretary’s bench, which was already greeted by several staff and employees who were a little curious about what Sekar had experienced in that horrible room.
“Sekar! Is Mr Gifer still the same as before? Ah, I mean a good person, hehe. Is he?”
“Yes, he’s nice. Unlike Miss Raya who was rude and arbitrary, making the once pleasant room creepy like it was full of ghosts. But not now, Mr Gifer is a far cry from that Raya,”
“You’re still young, don’t you have any feelings for Mr Gifer?”
“Shhh, me and Mr Gifer are just colleagues, like a relationship, I’m Mr Gifer’s younger brother, so,”
“So you don’t have any feelings for Mr Gifer? Like in the films, where the CEO likes his own secretary or even vice versa,”
“Yeah no, I already have a girlfriend too. No matter how handsome I am, if I don’t like it, it won’t happen, hahaha. You guys are all over the place, let’s not talk about Mr Gifer. Do you want to be close to him? Hahahahha. You singles,”
“Ye, let’s be single, if you stare at Mr Gifer, your heart will melt.”
“Aissh, you don’t need to be so excited. Let’s get to work.”

Elsewhere, Belvina was working and suddenly there was an incoming call from her lover. Yes, her boyfriend was trying to inform Belvina that he had returned to being the CEO according to her request. Even though he was busy taking care of this and that file, Gifer still managed to take the time to inform his girlfriend and asked permission to pick her up at WR Bank in the afternoon. A car had been prepared by Mr Kevin, not a company car, but Gifer’s own car that had been confiscated by Raya at that time. Along with the same driver that Mr Kevin had called earlier to come back to work. Belvina immediately stepped out of the office with the excuse of going to the toilet, asking Anggi to temporarily replace her at the front teller. In a phone call.
“Hello, what’s up, honey?” She asked her lover who called her, if only there was something important to talk about.
“Honey, I just wanted to let you know that,” Gifer deliberately paused his sentence, making his lover a little annoyed.
“What oh? Don’t stop in the middle of the road, honey. I’m getting confused,”
“I’ve returned to Mr Kevin’s company. Became CEO again, the car I bought after the accident has also been returned by Mr Kevin, even with the driver too,”
“What? That’s great news, baby,”
“Yes, that’s why I wanted to tell you, tonight after work I want to take you somewhere,”
“Where is it?”
“There you go, later hehe. I’ll pick you up at your office in the afternoon, baby,”
“Alright, baby. I’ll be waiting. Oh yeah, I still have work to do. That’s it baby,”
“Alright sweetheart, good job,” said Gifer.
“Good work too Mr CEO Gifer Fernandez, Bye.” Belvina said back. The phone call was immediately hung up.

Time went on, until now it was already 09. 00 where Gifer had arrived at the Seoul cafeteria first along with the secretary and of course Haris who would accompany him to walk and help him type also on the laptop while the secretary was still writing on the notes. Before long, the person he was waiting for had arrived, along with his secretary, his own younger sister.
“Have you been waiting long, Mr Gifer?” Asked Kiano who was already standing in front of Gifer who also stood up.
Kiano extended his hand in front of Gifer. When Haris was about to help Gifer to accept the hand, Gifer already knew and immediately accepted the man’s hand.
“Oh? Yes, Mr Kiano. Please have a seat.” They sat down.
“Before that, I apologise, Mr Gifer. Because at the time of the accident, I couldn’t meet you, because I had other important matters to attend to,”
“No problem, Mr Kiano. I’m fine anyway,”
“But, didn’t I hear on the news that you lost your eyesight?” Gifer chose not to answer and just nodded while smiling wryly at the question.
“I’m sorry if it offended you, but why is it so awkward?” Kiano broke in trying to change the subject.
“No problem, Mr Kiano,” Gifer replied briefly. Sekar and Haris did not dare to intervene in their conversation.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Oh, yes. Let me introduce you, the one next to me is my secretary and younger sister, introduce yourself,” Kiano nudged his sister’s shoulder who had been looking at Gifer intently. There was something that made him smile to himself when he saw Gifer’s handsome face. Previously, Kiano’s secretary was not his sister, but a married woman, but today the secretary could not attend because her child was sick and was replaced by Kiano’s sister for the time being.
“Hello, I’m Kinara,” she said while extending her hand and smiling at Gifer. Gifer received the hand immediately accepted it, when he was about to let go, Nara still held Gifer’s hand.
“Already, yes.” Gifer forcibly released Nara’s hand.’Aish, I still can’t believe that you’re getting so quiet now, Gif. I’ll make you love me no matter what.’ Nara said silently.
