Entering the third day of work, the woman already knew several cleaning workers, apart from Mino of course.
"Anna, Mr. Devan called you to his room," said a woman who was about the same age as her.
"Okay, I'll finish this first," replied Anna.
"Just leave it there, let me finish it," said the woman again.
"Do you want me to accompany you?" Mino offered.
"No need, I can do it myself. After all, the only one being called is me," replied Anna, who immediately got up from her position.
"Okay," Mino said nodding and then continued his work.
Leaving the seventh floor using the elevator, then Anna is walking down the corridor to Devan's room on the first floor. Somehow, every time she would meet or just hear the man's name, she suddenly became restless for no reason.
Knocked on the door softly, and then opened it after the man inside had let her in.
"It's your third day of work isn't it?" .asked Devan right after Anna stopped her steps.
"R-right, sir."
"I've read your employment contract..." said Devan hanging.
"It says here that you are ready to be placed anywhere, correct?" he continued.
"R-right, sir."
"Okay, starting tomorrow you don't have to work here anymore," Devan replied immediately.
"I-I was fired?" stuttering Anna immediately raised her gaze.
"No. You were transferred to another place," replied Devan again.
"B-but..."
"Refuse? Or do you want to resign?" cut Devan.
Anna was silent, not knowing how to respond.
"Until your employment contract is completed, you are not allowed to refuse or resign. Unless you can pay amercement for violating the contract," Devan added when he saw the woman was silent.
"All right," stuttered Anna who finally complied.
She already knows that there are many branches of the company where she works, she can only hope that his new workplace is not too far from the house where she lives.
Yes, D.A Group has a cleaner that stands alone, and all cleaning workers can be transferred to another company that is still under D.A Group's auspices if there is a shortage of cleaning staff in the company.
"Then where's your cell phone?" said Devan while holding out his hand, asking for Anna's cell phone.
"What?"
"Where's your cell phone? I'll send you your new work address."
"Y-You just have to say it, sir," Anna stuttered.
"I don't do it."
"Eh?"
"Quick, give me your cell phone," said Devan again.
"I-I don't have a cell phone, sir," replied Anna casually.
"Don't try to lie to me, Anna."
"I-I'm not lying, sir."
Hearing the girl's words, Devan pulled his hand again. Seemed to think for a moment then said again, "Then pack your things now."
"Huh?"
"What? You want to make me repeat what I said again?"
"Ah, sorry, sir."
"Pack your things now, I'll be waiting for you here."
"Huh?"
Devan sighed harshly, "Is your hearing already problematic?"
"Ah, I'm sorry sir. Then I'll say goodbye," replied Anna instantly. She didn't know what the man was going to do or what his words meant, but she obeyed.
Until a few minutes passed, Anna returned to Devan's room.
"I-I'm done, sir."
"With the uniform still attached to your body?"
"Change it quickly."
"Y-You didn't tell me earlier to change this uniform, sir."
Devan's brow furrowed, "You..."
"Okay, then, I'll say goodbye and I'll be back sir," said Anna immediately turning around, leaving the room without waiting for a response from Devan.
***
Anna walked after Devan from behind. She felt a little uncomfortable because at this time almost every employee they encountered immediately opened a path, and some of them even deliberately avoided it, turning around to find another way. Not only that, she could feel very clearly dozens of pairs of eyes watching the two of them. Especially now that they were walking towards the main door.
Being the center of attention, made Anna slightly quicken her pace. She never expected that a new cleaning supervisor in a company of this size could attract the attention of so many employees and also be treated differently from other employees in general.
Out of the main door, several security officers seemed to want to greet the two of them, but their movements were stopped when Devan's hand rose to stop them.
All of this did not go unnoticed by Anna.
The woman suddenly had doubts, was Devan the janitor as she knew him, or did the man have another position in the company, such as one of the board of directors? Or the leader of one of the divisions? Yes, it is possible because their attitude is not as simple as it seems.
And again, one thing that strengthens Anna believes it, she is currently entering a black Ferarri. A car that is still vivid in her memory. It is usually only owned by the upper class.
Even though many things were filling her head, Anna didn't dare to even ask, and just kept it to herself.
"M-may I know, W-where do you want to take me, sir?" .asked Anna who could not stand her curiosity.
"Call me Devan."
"What?"
"Should I repeat what I said?"
"Out of the office, you don't have to call me that, just call my name, as you always do," added Devan again without taking his eyes off the highway they were passing.
"What?"
"I think you're getting deaf, Anna."
"Ah, I'm sorry sir."
"Also, there's no need to be so formal. Take it easy."
"O-okay," Anna stuttered.
"Good."
And then silence, no more talking between the two. Whereas in Devan, the man had a million questions for Anna. It's just that he hesitated to say it, especially since they had only met again.
Let time will carve their way together. While waiting for the right situation, gradually, he will ask all the things that have been a big question mark in his mind since that night.
He wouldn't be in a hurry, at least now he knew where Anna was, and of course, he wouldn't let her go that easily.
About what Leo had said a while ago, he would confirm for himself. If Anna was married and had a child, maybe then she would just let Anna go. However, he hoped that what his cousin said was not true.
Anna suddenly held her stomach which suddenly rumbled. Even though she wasn't hungry, why would one part of her body embarrass herself?
"Hungry?" asked Devan glancing at Anna.
Anna shook her head vigorously.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
"I'm not hungry," replied Anna.
"How about the steak? Or do you want another menu? Tell me," said Devan ignoring the woman's response.
"I'm not hungry," Anna repeated.
"Okay, how about a Japanese restaurant?" asked Devan, then turned the wheel, into the parking lot of a large and luxurious restaurant that happened to be on the side of the road.
Anna just sighed harshly, if it was like this, why did Devan ask her? If in the end, the man kept doing everything as he pleased.
