3. That Handsome Uncle Is My Boss

"Miss, it's arrived according to the address you gave me earlier!" said the online taxi driver who took Emmy to her new place of work.

However, Emmy suddenly felt embarrassed because she remembered that yesterday afternoon, she had arrived at the same place. With a different purpose, of course, she took Uncle William home from the airport.

"Ehh ... oh, that's all right, Sir. Thank you. I'll go down now. Next time, you want to catch up on the deposit while it's still early!" said Emmy, then exited the online taxi carrying a plastic folder containing her portfolio and CV.

Finally, the black Avanza car left in front of the tall iron gate and left Emmy alone there. Hesitantly, the girl pressed the bell button next to the fence, and a moment later, the security guard's face appeared on the monitor screen above the bell button.

"Good morning, Miss. Can I help you?" said the security guard named Asep via the small screen.

"Ehh ... morning, Mr. Security Guard. I want to meet Mrs. Rita Sundari. Is she available? I'm the new employee of Fame Palette Artisans Co," said Emmy, stating her needs.

Soon, the high gate opened automatically in front of Emmy. She rushed inside before the gate closed again.

"Wow, the front yard is really big. It's funny how the house is made like a mini Disneyland castle!" Emmy commented as she looked around her new boss's house.

The security guard who greeted Emmy approached her and said, "Miss, just go straight in there via the front terrace. The door is open. Mrs. Rita has just arrived!"

"Ready, Mr Asep. Thank you!" said Emmy cheerfully. Then she rushed to the front terrace of the unique house.

"Excuse me!" Emmy exclaimed because the magnificent house looked deserted, as if uninhabited.

A moment later, a middle-aged woman came out of a room and smiled at Emmy. She stretched out her right hand and said, "Hi, you must be Emmy Estelia Setiawan, right?"

"Hello, Ma'am. Yes, that's right. I'm Emmy, applying to be the new assistant architect at Fame Palette Artisans Co. Are you, Mrs. Rita Sundari?" Emmy answered politely.

"Yes, I'm Mrs. Rita. Come on, let me introduce you to your new boss. I'm just a secretary and also an accounting officer." Mrs. Rita walked ahead of Emmy into a room that looked like a small meeting room for ten people.

Around the table sat employees who looked neat in appearance. Mrs. Rita introduced Emmy to her new co-workers, "Friends, this is Emmy Estelia Setiawan. Please help her quickly learn the job as an assistant architect to Mr William's!"

The appraising looks from the female employees in the room made Emmy quite intimidated. The women look fashionable and well-groomed, full make-up, of course. Meanwhile, this morning, Emmy only used sunscreen, skin care and natural pink lipstick.

"Oh, my new assistant has arrived! Emmy, come with me for a moment," said William, who had just entered the room full of people and immediately became friendly with his new assistant architect.

William took the cute girl's hand out of the staff meeting room, followed by the envious glances and whispers of the women.

"How come the boss seems to know Emmy already?" said Virna with a sullen face.

"No, Mr. Willy is always friendly with his subordinates, Vir!" Yuni argued while scribbling notes on her document paper.

"I hope Yuni is right. It's a shame to add competition to attract the boss, isn't that right?" said Vera, who had long harbored feelings for their big boss.

Anneke, the female employee with the sexiest appearance, also chimed in, "Ahh, Emmy's casing is common. Isn't it true that Mr. Willy likes country girls like that?!" Her friends also agreed with Anneke's opinion and stopped overthinking about Emmy.

This was different from Mrs. Rita, who was already immune to hearing the conversations of the female employees there. She could only shake her head without any interest in commenting.

It turned out that William was pulling Emmy's hand to follow him into the dining room. "Sit down first! Have you had breakfast yet, Emmy?" he said as he pulled out a chair for the girl.

"That's it. Grandma made pecel rice at home earlier," answered Emmy, who was still confused about how to address the mature man who was none other than her new boss. She asked, "Should I call you Uncle or Sir or what's better?"

Hearing Emmy's question, which sounded confused, William laughed. "Just Bro, right? William is more affectionate, Emmy!"

"I don't want to. Uncle, it's the most suitable or Sir, you also sound professional!" said Emmy stubbornly without a smile on her cute face.

William scratched his head, then sighed, "Whatever!" He also remembered the sweet girl's favorite blueberry jam-filled muffin. "Try the muffins made by Chef Juno, my home chef. Maybe you like them. Other menus are fine, too! Anyway, accompany me for breakfast, and this is my next order when I don't have work abroad, understand?!"

Emmy's attention, which had been focused on her new boss's face, was immediately diverted to the breakfast dishes on the dining table. She is also a culinary lover because while in America, she worked in a restaurant. "Wow, it looks delicious. I'll try the muffin, Uncle Will!" said Emmy, then picked up a blueberry muffin and took a bite.

William didn't usually pay attention to his subordinates like he did with Emmy. He is fierce, especially if his employees or employees are idle and not working. However, looking at the expression on Emmy's face, who was enjoying the British cake, excited him.

When Emmy had finished devouring a muffin, the man immediately pushed a plate containing various mini pastries in front of the cute girl. With pleasure, Emmy took a mini pasty filled with bacon and cheese.

"What would you like to drink, Dear Emmy?" asked William, who was serving the girl even though he was Emmy's boss.

"Just water, Uncle!" Emmy answered with her mouth full. She took a cupcake decorated with purple blueberry cream and chewed it slowly.

A glass of mineral water was placed in front of Emmy by the host himself. "Eat what you like. You're free! After breakfast, we'll work together in my room!" said William with a big smile.

Emmy just added a blueberry muffin and then stopped eating. She didn't want to be full on her first day of work. The girl patiently accompanied William to breakfast until it was finished.

"Okay, back to work! Let's go to the office, Beibeh!" William said as he put his arm around Emmy's shoulder and headed towards his office.

When they passed the meeting room, the employees suddenly became confused and ran to the door to peek at Emmy's closeness to William. The door to their boss's private office was closed tightly with the couple inside.

"You've been hit hard, Ver. Big boss has a taste for young leaves!" said Yuni while laughing at her colleague who had always been a big fan of the handsome, stormy architect who was none other than her boss.
