4. Envied By Seniors In The Office

"Emmy, try looking at the blueprint for the code FPA-20.02.11. Help me calculate the RAB with detailed notes, okay? Meanwhile, that's your job first, then I'll let you know when you've finished this one!" William ordered in his comfy chair.

Emmy deftly started work on her first day as an architectural assistant. She already understands the tasks she has to do because she spent a year as an intern at a senior architectural firm at Harvard University.

In less than an hour, the girl had handed over the results of her work to William. "This is the RAB calculation result and the details, Sir!" she said.

Without saying anything, William checked Emmy's work. He could research it easily because he knew how to do it. The surprising fact is that the results are as they should be.

"Awesome, you're cool too! Okay, next job. You make illustrations with the information I wrote in this notebook according to your ability. I'll still polish them afterward. Do you understand, Emmy?" said William as he handed his notebook to Emmy.

"I understand, Sir. Excuse me!" said Emmy, enthusiastic about doing her favorite task, interpreting detailed architect's notes for a landscape.

It was getting late, and William started to get hungry afternoon. He said, "Emmy, let's take a break for lunch first. You didn't bring lunch from home, right? Just eat Chef Juno's cooking with me!"

"Wow, that's okay, Sir? What will happen if other employees find out? I get the impression that Mr. William is being treated special!" said Emmy uncomfortably.

Her boss got up from his work chair, approached Emmy, and stretched out his right hand. "From now on, you only care about me. I'm the one who gets paid. They don't have the right to tell me anything. It's up to you whether I treat or ignore you special!"

With a sigh, Emmy accepted her new boss's excuse. She put her arm around William as she left the architect's private office. However, she didn't suspect that his senior's eyes were looking enviously at the two of them as they passed the employee's workroom.

William invited Emmy to lunch together with dishes from his house chef. He pulled out a chair for the girl and sat beside her around the round table.

"Don't hesitate, eat whatever you want!" said William, then spooning white rice, taking turns with Emmy.

"Thank you, Mr. Willam!" said Emmy, then started taking broccoli and beef tongue onto her plate of white rice.

The two of them chatted casually about many things until finally, William said, "Tomorrow, I have to fly to New York. My departure yesterday was delayed because I missed my flight, and the client was nagging me in an email, telling me to leave as soon as possible. I'll give you the task of drawing a rough sketch of the client's idea in my notebook, okay? I'll give you the code later so you don't make a mistake!"

"Ohh, ready, Sir. Be careful at the airport so you don't get your second wallet stolen. Hihihi," said Emmy, teasing her boss.

"Hopefully, it won't happen again. Poor Momo, who took care of my pile of cards," replied William, remembering his head household assistant who had gone to the police station and bank since early morning and the sub-district office to take care of lost ID cards and other things along with his wallet.

"Momo? Erm... why does it sound like the name of my neighbor's cat, Sir? Its fur is dark. At night, you often only see its eyes, which are two glaring yellows," said Emmy, which made her boss laugh.

William answered, "Oh, I feel sorry for Momo being compared to a cat. The name of my trusted assistant in this house is Haikal Sutrimo, from Banyumas, Central Java. He's a funny guy, diligent. He'll be a match for you when you meet him!"

"Wow, it's cool that I'll get a bestie here!" said Emmy, then continued her luxurious conglomerate-style lunch. She never complained about whatever food was served to her because she was used to living simply and barely with her grandparents.

"Oh yes, Mr. William, do you like Cilembu sweet potatoes? My grandfather has lots of sweet potatoes in the garden behind the house. Would you like to bring some steamed ones?" Emmy offered without feeling embarrassed by what she had.

Meanwhile, the mulatto man was shocked to hear Emmy's magical offer. "Ehh, that's fine. I'll bring it when I get home from New York. How does it taste? I've never tried Cilembu sweet potatoes in my life," replied William, grinning amusedly at Emmy.

"Sweet, Sir ... just like me!" said the girl grinning.

"Uhuk!" Once again, William choked while he was with Emmy until his eyes watered.

"Ohh My Gosh ... ohh My Gosh!" Emmy suddenly panicked and got her boss a glass of water, then patted William's back gently, "Has your throat cleared up, Sir?" asked the girl with a worried expression.

However, Emmy's level of cuteness only increased in William's eyes. 'It turns out it's not just instant noodles or coffee in this world. There is also an instant version of falling in love!' William thought secretly as he looked at the sweet 22-year-old girl. "It's safe, don't worry. You are unique. Sometimes your outspoken words shock me!" he said.

"I'm sorry, Sir. I didn't mean to hurt Mr. William," regretted Emmy, who was self-conscious.

William put the tiny girl's buttocks on his strong thighs and stroked Emmy's long hair. "I said it's okay, don't prolong it, okay? By the way, don't call me Sir. It'll give me a very bad impression," he said softly.

"What do you want to be called? Brother like that?" Emmy joked at first.

"Okay, it sounds younger. Just Brother Willy, okay?" William said with a big grin on his thin, sideburned face. Meanwhile, Emmy nodded in agreement.

The female employees who peeked at the intimate scene from a distance became inflamed. Vera, Anneke, Yuni, and Virna feel jealous of the closeness of their boss and crush for years, who is interested in the new kid who hasn't been there for a day at work.

"That girl is annoying, sticking to Mr. Willy. Huh, that's just making me angry!" growled Vera, who felt she had the most potential to become her boss's future wife.

Anneke replied, "Cheap, it's really easy to be his girl. She has just met him and wants to be carried on his lap. At least soon, Boss will invite her to lie down with him on the bed!"

"Yes, you're right, Anne. It's like a cat-given salted fish!" Yuni said, not wanting to be outdone in commenting on Emmy and William.

"Emmy is asking for a lesson! BTW, ladies, Mrs. Rita said tomorrow the boss will leave for America. It's better if we give her work hard while she's here alone, how about that?" Virna suggested, which immediately got the approval of her three friends.

"Good idea, we'll make her feel uncomfortable working here. So when Mr. William went home to Indonesia, Emmy immediately resigned. Isn't that cool?" Vera said enthusiastically.

The four women then devise a strategy to make Emmy feel helpless and bully her together. Tomorrow morning, Emmy's suffering will begin. Will she survive?
