5. Impressive Man

That day passed quite a long time, after all the work was over, Ilona immediately went out to the parking lot. This woman is indeed beautiful with long, half-brown hair, flawless white skin, an ideal tall body with fashionable clothes in one amazing combination. What's more, she is intelligent, very smart. Some of the boys in the office liked her, but she was that innocent and workaholic girl who broke their hearts. She hardly sees men as men, all genders are the same, that's how she treats all her coworkers

Ilona pressed the button on the elevator door to go to the basement, in the elevator room she met her manager, Jason. The man was with some advertising staff.

"Good evening, Sir," said Ilona.

"Hi, Ilona," said Jason.

Some of the advertising staff seemed busy consulting while walking with their boss. Jason is always busy, so he's always open for his staff to consult anywhere and anytime, as long as it's in the office. After leaving the office, the staff did not dare to disturb his rest time, because everybody knows it is very short.

The advertising staff went down to the second floor and only Ilona and Jason were left in the lift leading to the basement parking lot.

"How's the food? Do you like it?" he asked.

"Oh yes, Sir. I wanted to say thank you earlier, but it seems you are still very busy," Ilona replied reluctantly.

"How about the taste?" Jason asked again.

"Savory and tender chicken, Sir. The food came right when I was hungry, like a blessing," she said.

"Hahaha, that means it feels good because you're just hungry Ilona!" Jason laughed derisively.

"Oops, no Sir! I think because the food is cooked well! Wenny, Mira, and Jenni also ate, instead the chicken was taken away," added Ilona.

"That means you're still hungry?" teased the manager again.

"No, Sir. The food is quite a lot, it's just that I have a friend who likes to be nosy!” while defending herself.

“That's great. Next time we'll just eat at the outlet directly with your team!” Jason offered.

"That great, Sir, really waiting for it! Hihihi,” Ilona smiled.

"Ump, I am sorry, Sir. I'll excuse you first, thank you for the treat, we'll be more enthusiastic about working, Sir," Ilona said while bowing politely then walked away while trotting a little towards her car. Jason just smiled at his staff's behavior.

Today, Ilona's mother accidentally came to her apartment, and because of that, she wanted to go home and meet her mother. Ilona's car drove quite carefully and arrived at her apartment. Ilona's mother must have come, she could enter easily because Ilona did give her a spare key.

“Mom...!” Ilona opened the door while calling her mother.

“Ilona, ​​is that you, Dear?” came a soft voice from inside the house.

They hugged each other and seemed to miss each other, Ilona had not visited her mother's house for several months. This was because Ilona was always busy at work.

"How's your job? Is there a problem, Dear?" began to chat while removing some food.

“Beef Rib Red Soup! it's a blessing! Thank, Mom!” without answering her mother's question Ilona was more focused on the food she brought.

“Spicy smoked beef! Ahhh, Mom you are the best!” Ilona hugged her mother while continuing to focus on food.

“Ilona, ​​I asked. How is your work? Is there a problem?" Her mother asked again.

"Nope! All save, no problem!” Ilona calms down.

"How about a boyfriend? Do you have one yet?” Mama Ilona asked hopefully.

While chewing chicken croquettes, Ilona shook her head, a sign that she still doesn't have a boyfriend.

"Never mind, Mama just needs to calm down, the match will come in time!" Ilona quibbled.

"Yes dear, they will come, but for people who want to try," said the mother who understood her daughter's behavior.

"Hehehe, I'll take a shower first," Ilona tried to escape from her mother's interrogation and headed for the bathroom.

The day was full of food, food is one way to get closer to a relationship. Especially for people with hungry stomachs.

Eldrian put on his sunglasses, the sun in Dubai was indeed hotter than in Indonesia. While opening some documents, he talked with several men dressed like Arabian princes. It's like they are negotiating for the marketing of several technology products across countries. But all of that ended in a profitable agreement for both companies. The contract was signed and they shook hands, a sign that the cooperation had been decided.

Eldrian left with Daniel towards the direction of his hotel room. Lots of foreigners in Dubai. The atmosphere was different in comparison to Saudi Arabia and other United Arab Emirates countries. They are more open to foreigners, even more open than Asians. Of course, it's very hard for Daniel's eyes not to flirt

when several Caucasian women with blonde hair and sexy clothes walked to and fro.

“Daniels! Your work is done, you can go out without me!" Eldrian gave his secretary a chance to have fun.

"Okay, Bro!" Daniel smiled happily.

"But, don't get in trouble, Niel! Don't play with naughty girls!” Eldrian reminded

“Okay, Eldrian. Don't worry! I still know my limits!" countered Daniel.

Outside working hours, Daniel and Eldrian are very close like brothers. They are college friends and have been friends for a long time.

"Okay, enjoy your time!" Eldrian let Daniel go as he entered the hotel room and started to change clothes.

Eldrian's room was quite spacious, his clients treated them very well. All facilities are borne by Dubai investors. After changing clothes, Eldrian walked towards the balcony while carrying a fresh drink that he took from the refrigerator. He saw that Dubai was indeed amazing, its skyscrapers could no longer be counted on the fingers. There are so many, it's not wrong for him to choose investors here because once an agreement is made, the nominal amount he gets is quite large.

Eldrian looked down and immediately saw the swimming pool area. Seen Daniel was cool there talking with several women in bikinis. Daniel is indeed a man full of charm, he easily gets female friends. Indeed his secretary was handsome and fluent in foreign languages. He speaks three languages, English, French, and Russian. This made foreign women impressed with him. Eldrian smiled at his friend's behavior.

Occasionally, the foreign woman laughed, they chatted like meeting old friends. Very natural and looks fun. It was completely different from Eldrian who always had problems when having relationships with women. Sometimes he wants to ask Daniel about how to attract women. But of course, it's impossible because his prestige is also above average.

Drrrrr...!

Eldrian's cell vibrated. He can see some notifications and chat messages that haven't been opened. There was one thing that surprised him. Message from a number named ILONA. Eldrian's eyes widened. He didn't expect to receive a message from her. 

He began to open messages.

“Ziyan, are you sick? Is there any problem? Why haven't you been to the office these past few days?" asked Ilona.

Eldrian's heart filled with joy, he had the impression that a woman was asking how he was doing. What's more, the woman thought he was just an ordinary man and not a CEO.

Immediately Eldrian made a reply.

"No Miss, I was just sent to the head office by Mr. Howard to help with some preparations for launching a new product in Dubai next week," he answered politely.

Eldrian waited, he wondered if his message would be read immediately, or if it would be answered immediately. But it turned out that he had been waiting for Ilona for some time and had not read the message he sent. 

Maybe she was busy thought Eldrian. Eldrian didn't know that Ilona deliberately didn't open her cell phone because there were lots of messages in her campus alumni group. 

Yup! About the reunion of course. It turned out that Eldrian was replying to messages at an inopportune time.
