Chapter 29: Umpteenth Time Forced To Married
“Today’s meeting is over, don’t forget to keep reporting if something deviates from the plan,” Arthur concluded at the end of the meeting. All the employees in the room responded politely before Arthur finally walked out followed by Juan.
“Today you can’t go anywhere before your job-”
“I’ve finished it! Just take a look at my desk later,” Arthur cut in casually. They took a special elevator to the floor of the highest office now occupied by Arthur Jefferson. Juan looked at him in disbelief that the pile of papers that were previously empty and Arthur didn’t glance at had now been signed by his superior.
“You ... you’re not doing it haphazardly, are you?”
Arthur furrowed his brows, slightly offended. “Hey, how long have you been working with me? Have I ever messed with my job?” Arthur asked, looking at Juan seriously.
Juan swallowed his saliva roughly. Even though his boss used to joke around and leave a lot of work for him, sometimes he was afraid that Arthur had gone into serious mode. “N-never.”
“I got powers before doing that. So you can tell them if some have been approved and some need to be redone,” Arthur said as he strolled around the spacious room on a hoverboard.
.....
“What power is it?” Juan asked, carrying the pile of papers.
“Woman.”
Juan’s face returned flat, as I expected Arthur would not be far from the women. He took a deep breath, he didn’t want to deal with his boss’s personal affairs. Most importantly, the job was done and he didn’t have to take over or get so many calls from clients that he had trouble sleeping and complaining all day about having a boss as crazy as Arthur.
Juan Awnsley, the man with the ash gray hair, he was under two years old from Arthur. He had been Arthur’s secretary for about five years when Arthur kept changing secretaries because there were always problems. Initially, Arthur always chose for himself what kind of secretary he wanted. He always accepts a beautiful and sexy woman. As a result, what he did was more teasing and making out with his secretary. This made his dad who had just retired no longer able to deal with his son’s behavior.
“You are no longer allowed to choose a secretary who will work under you! I will choose!” Arthur’s dad ordered. That’s when Juan tried to apply as a secretary and was immediately tested by the former CEO of Jeffer Corp. Without asking for his son’s approval, Albern immediately accepted Juan as Arthur’s secretary.
“Arthur, this is your new secretary. I’ll strangle you if after this you fire people as you please,” Albern threatened his son.
“Good afternoon, sir. I’m Juan Awnsley, who will be your secretary,” Juan said, bowing respectfully to the man with his back to him and Albern. Juan was slightly amazed by the stature of his new boss. The face he always wanted, the face that men dream of.
“Geh, a man. Why is my secretary a man, Dad?! I won’t focus on work if the one accompanying me is a man!” Arthur protested.
“What kind of bullshit is that?! In fact, your female secretary has never been able to focus!” Albern replied, the veins of emotions starting to come out because he was so annoyed with his eldest son.
“I can’t take it!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Juan blinked, he didn’t expect the company he had always admired and the high-ranking officials he often saw on TV and in magazines, it turns out that this is their true nature. In fact, Juan always thought they were very charismatic and calm. Precisely what he saw now was the opposite. But in the end, because it was difficult for Arthur to win against his dad, he accepted by force that Juan would be his new secretary.
In the end, their working relationship can last a long time until now. Even though Juan always bleeds to do many things for the sake of his crazy boss.
“Then excuse me,” said Juan, walking out of the room.
“Ah, yes. Since I have done my work, this afternoon I will go outside,” Arthur said, informing Juan.
Juan stopped in his tracks, he took a deep breath. Actually, even though Arthur looked relaxed, the company that had begun to move into Arthur’s hands grew even more rapidly. New regulations make employees even more comfortable and ultimately give all their dedication to the company. One thing that Arthur did was be concerned with the welfare of the employees. He also always gives rewards to employees who have bright ideas and can be used in the future because the company is indeed engaged in the IT sector.
The clothes used in the office are as comfortable as they are but must remain polite. Yes ... although Juan still wears a formal suit because his position is secretary.
“I forgot to tell you one thing,” Juan said, making Arthur stop walking on the hoverboard and wait for what the man wanted to say. “The former president director is planning to come here.”
Arthur’s eyes were perfectly rounded, he was gaping. “W-when?”
“Today.”
“Why are you telling me now?!”
“I forgot.”
“What kind of secretary are you!” Arthur looked panicked, he was wearing his black suit.
“Where are you going?” Juan asked as Arthur planned to head out.
“Leave, before I meet with-” Arthur was unable to continue his words when the door to the room was already opened from the outside. Juan was surprised to find that Albern was already there.
A man with a thin mustache, sharp eyes, and hair that is starting to turn white, but whose good looks are still clearly visible. The proof that Arthur got his handsome face came from his own biological father. “Where are you going?” Albern asked, in a deep voice.
“H-hi, Dad. It’s been a while. Of course, I wanted to greet you in the lobby,” Arthur replied with a sweet smile. Juan just looked away because he knew that Arthur’s words were a lie.
Albern snorted, then walked over to the sofa and sat there. He ordered his eldest son to sit in front of him. Reluctantly, Arthur complied. Juan left the room to tell another employee to make drinks for the two important people.
“How is the development of digital sales and the application you made?” Edward asked.
“There’s no problem, they are still under my supervision. Dad, take it easy, everything will still run smoothly if I handle it,” Arthur replied, impressed arrogantly. He just wanted Albern not to keep an eye on him and make it difficult for Arthur to play with something he enjoyed.
“I trust you, son. I can finally retire in peace at this rate,” said Albern as he accepted the coffee made by the employee who was there.
Arthur chuckled, and he nodded enthusiastically. “Of course, I really meant that, Dad. You’d better have fun with Mom and not have to worry about me,” Arthur began to incite his dad. “Dad is not as young as he used to be, it’s time for dad to enjoy life. for example by fishing or watching the sunset with mom. Isn’t that very relaxing and romantic?”
Albern chuckled amused, the child apparently understood him. “Ah, but maybe there’s one missing,” said Albern.
“What is it? I’ll grant it, Dad!” Arthur said excitedly.
“I want to have grandchildren.”
Jder!! Like being struck by lightning in broad daylight. Arthur’s body instantly froze when the words came out of his dad’s mouth.
“You’ve had enough of playing with women. Your age is very ready to get married, Arthur.”
