Becoming CEO Again
Gifer and Haris had arrived at Mr. Kevin’s office. All the staff and employees looked happy when Gifer returned to the company. Especially if the man who was now walking in front of them using a cane became the CEO again. Surely the company would be saved. In the past, the company had gone bankrupt or decreased its turnover because it was deliberately taken over by Raya. Therefore, Gifer seemed to be to blame, when in fact it was Mr. Kevin’s own fault for obeying the wishes of his daughter. Even though he couldn’t see it, Haris who walked next to Gifer to direct certain places to walk also seemed to be looked at happily by all the staff and employees.
“Wow, finally Mr. Gifer is back again, I’m happy! Surely he will be fair when paying the employees, unlike Miss Raya who can only corrupt the company’s money,” the voice of one of the employees was heard by Haris and Gifer. They both ignored the employee’s words that praised Gifer more than Raya herself.
“Yes, Miss Raya used to be very fierce too, making us afraid. Now that Mr. Gifer is back, I feel relieved. This company still has hope and our salaries will definitely increase. After all, last month we were only paid a little since the company went bankrupt,” said one of the staff sitting in front of the computer with a box partition.
“That’s true, but… Mr. Gifer can’t see now, how will he handle the company?” Asked another staff.
“Yes, that’s his business, what is clear is that we are paid according to the agreement procedure when we first entered this company. That’s the main thing,” said the other staff member and looked at Sekar who was walking towards them carrying her work bag as usual.
“Sekar, you’re so lucky this time,”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
“Why, I just came and you guys are already having a nice conversation here,” Sekar, a company secretary from Gifer’s time to Raya’s, and now back to being Gifer’s secretary. She was now putting her bag on her desk. Pulling out a stool and sitting there, she joined in with her fellow staff and employees.
“There, Mr. Gifer is back. You can be his secretary again, I guess. After all, you’re the company’s mainstay secretary,” The one who heard that then put on a happy face.
“Seriously?”
“Yes, and now Mr. Gifer is walking towards Mr. Kevin’s room. Maybe after that they will hold a meeting to introduce that Mr. Gifer will drive this company again,”
“Really? Wow, I’m glad to hear that. If it’s good news like this, I’ll be excited to work, but if it’s gloomy news like the time with Miss Raya, I’ll feel like resigning even more, you know,” Sekar complained by practicing her sad face at that time.
“Hahahaha, you as a secretary can complain like that, let alone us who are just staff and employees? Let alone the OB here,”
“Yes you can, even though the secretary is still not enough if you only get paid only 1 digit. You’re stingy, even though it’s Mr. Kevin’s own son, but he’s so bad, I’m surprised. Even those who are not his children are good,”
“That’s right, sometimes our own children are no better than other people’s children. So I remember that saying,”
“Hahaha, use all the proverbs ah.”
.
Arriving in front of Mr. Kevin’s room, Haris directed Gifer to stop his steps.
“Ris, why am I so nervous like this? When I used to be CEo, I was cool and confident. Why am I so insecure now?” Gifer wondered in Haris’ ear while whispering.
“It’s okay, don’t be nervous. You can do it. Mr. Kevin is waiting inside.” The friend directed while whispering as well.
Gifer nodded, his right hand began to clench and knock on the big door that was in front of him now.
Knock knock knock!
“Come in!” The voice inside immediately answered. Haris opened the door for Gifer. The man immediately walked behind Gifer and closed the door again.
Mr. Kevin who was sitting down immediately stood up to welcome Gifer.
“Please sit down, Gif,” the one who was ordered immediately obeyed the person who ordered.
“Yes, sir.”
“No need to be too formal, we are superiors and subordinates. When things here are settled, I will return to the Shinning Doll company and focus there. I’ll leave this one to you,” Mr. Kevin explained. Gifer nodded his understanding.
“It still has to be formal, sir,” Gifer said politely and smiled, until his eyes were in a line.
“This is what I like about you, Gif. What Raya doesn’t have,” Gifer smiled and continued the conversation.
“Maybe everyone has a different character, sir. Therefore, Raya is very different from me,” Gifer tried to explain to Mr. Kevin so as not to compare.
“Yes, you’re right. Ah, so I’m going nowhere. By the way, welcome back to GF Corp, Gif.”
“Wait a minute, did you change the name to GF Corp again like before?”
“I’ve been preparing for this for a long time, Gif. From the time Raya left this company and chose to trade with her new lover,” Mr. Kevin confided. Gifer who knew about it was a little surprised.
‘Raya is trading? What for? Aren’t her parents already very rich? Why does she have to trade? Aish, why think about Raya, after all she has hurt my heart, I will never forget that.’ She said a heartfelt greeting that she would never utter through her full lips.
“Ah, I see. No wonder, you want me to come back here so badly,”
“Yes, eat it, but you don’t want to yet, right? Oh yeah, later when it’s seven o’clock, we’ll go to the multi-purpose building to reintroduce yourself as the CEO of GF Corporation,”
“What time is it now, sir?”
“It’s already 6:57, maybe three more minutes,”
“Ah, alright. I will wait, sir.”
Not waiting for long, it was already 07:00 where Mr. Kevin had pulled Gifer to immediately arrive at the company’s multi-purpose building. The meeting started, everyone had gathered there both staff and employees and OB. Mr. Kevin’s purpose was only one, to introduce that the CEO of GF Corp was back.
“The purpose of holding this meeting is to let you know that CEO Gifer Fernandez is back in our company. Although he can’t see, at least he can write and read. For typing or other problems, it can be done by Mr. Gifer’s best friend named Haris Krisnawan, Understand? You must be familiar with the faces of those two, right?”
“Yes, Mr. Kevin. We understand. We will also do our best for this company,”
“Alright, Gif, give a speech.”
“Ah, yes. It’s been a long time since we met again.” Gifer started his speech by waving both hands.
“I’m happy to be back here again to work as CEO. I am very grateful to Mr. Kevin who still needs me to be in this company. I will try my best to be the CEO again, I will not waste this second chance given by Mr. Kevin.”
.
The meeting was over, Gifer and Haris went back to Mr. Kevin’s room which was now his room again. Sekar, the secretary came with some files to be delivered to Gifer.
“Mr. Gifer, there will be a meeting with a client named Mr. Kiano around 09. 00 in Jakarta cafeteria. Maybe we will use the company car to go there.
‘What? There’s a client named Kiano? How come I look familiar, but where am I?’ Gifer said to himself.
