Title: Conquering the Killer Boss

NaPen: Elis Kurniasih

Alex enters his room again in the hope that the secretary also follows in his footsteps and apologizes after 5 of his “nge-boss-i” behavior earlier. With Alex coming late, Bilqis was feeling good this morning with a meal while lifting his feet to the table.

Actually when he saw that, Alex wanted to be angry. Moreover, Bilqis came past thirteen minutes from the scheduled entry hours work should. However, the anger was slightly muffled with the ridiculous manner of his secretary which made him laugh. Bilqis' surprised expression made the woman fall from the chair she was sitting in and it was funny. Alex, who has rarely laughed since his wife's departure, again showed his neat teeth and dimples that not everyone knows that Alex has the advantage on his face.

Alex sat back in his throne seat, but he saw Bilqis was not following his steps. The woman was still outside.

“Bilqis ..” shouted Alex.

Bilqis who heard the call with a shrill voice rushed to her feet from her seat and entered the room.

“Yes, Sir.” Bilqis stood in front of Alex. He saw Alex's sharp eyes.

“Pag-morning already made a mistake, but do not feel guilty.”

Bilqis. “Bu .. Not so, Sir. precisely because I admit my mistake so I am afraid of dealing with Sir.”

“Reason.” Alex immediately reached the handle of the phone plane to call the HRd.

“Sir, Please! I don't have SP. Please!” Bilqis knows what Alex is doing. He saw Alex's finger pressing the line connected to the HRD division.

Alex did not answer and simply opened his eyes.

“Sir, Please! I am sorry and will not be negligent again like before,” said Bilqis as he clenched his hands on his chest. He didn't want to lose this job. Moreover, he just took the car installment, there are still twelve months left to pay for it because he only paid in installments six months ago.

“Yes, Sir.” a voice sounded across there after the connection was lifted.

“Not so.”

Alex hung up the phone by lowering the handle of the phone and returning it to its place.

Bilqis was relieved, as it turned out that Alex was only bullying her.

“Repeat what you said earlier,” said Alex.

“Which one?” ask Bilqis confused.

“Your last words were.”

“Oh, yes.” Bilqis remembers. “I'm sorry and won't be remiss again,” replied Bilqis.

Alex nodded. “Again.”

“Hm.” Bilqis asked again with a facial expression.

“Repeat again,” says Alex.

Bilqis repeated his statement again. “I'm sorry and won't be remiss anymore.”

“Repeat,” says Alex again.

Bilqis. He breathed and threw it away. Alex could see the annoyance on that face, but instead he enjoyed the annoyed face of Bilqis.

“I'm sorry and I won't be remiss anymore.”

“Repeat up to thirty times, then you won't get SP, then,” said Alex relaxed while taking the files on his desk and returning to work due to the voice of Bilqis who continued to repeat his apologies and guilt.

“Si*l. she knows me,” Bilqis is.

But inevitably, Bilqis did just that. He continued to repeat his apologies and guilt for not repeating the mistake until thirty times. It felt like Bilqis' mouth was foaming and her throat was feeling dry because of the punishment.

“I am sorry and I will not be remiss again,” said Bilqis who he calculated if the statement had been spoken for the thirtyth time, including the first to the third time before Alex told him to repeat up to thirty times.

“Done, Sir.”

“But.” Alex shakes. “Don't you think I don't count! That's only twenty-seven times.”

“Yes, it was the third time when I first stood in front of Sir, until Sir told me to repeat that much.”

“Then it is not included because of that statement before I command is not it?”

“Huft.” Bilqis rolled her eyes lazily. He was very upset with Alex's attitude that bos-i. even though he was a boss, but this is outrageous. He was like a schoolboy being punished by his teacher.

Bilqis repeated the statement three more times.

“OK, Finish.” Alex told Bilqis to no longer issue that statement. “You must be thirsty. Now make me some coffee after you drink.”

With laziness, Bilqsi nodded. Actually he was lazy to serve the boss, but mengingta he needed a job especially muan, finally Bilqis also according.

"Good, sir."

Bilqis immediately turned to the pantry, he concocted a coffee creamer that Alex liked. Bilqis put more creamer than coffee. According to his tongue, it was better. Though Bilqis did not ask Alex before about the concoction of coffee, it could be that Alex did not like the concoction of coffee that suits the taste of Bilqis tongue. But luckily, Alex loved the coffee mix.

A few minutes after ordering Bilqis to make coffee, Alex went to the pantry. He wanted to see firsthand how his secretary was making delicious coffee that he had never tasted before. Even Alex's previous secretaries didn't make coffee like Bilqis did.

Alex stood at the door leaning his body there, folding both hands to his chest.

“Yes, it's done,” said Bilqis after finishing stirring the coffee and creamer mixed in the warm water.

“Hm, fragrance.” Bilqis smelled the coffee.

Then he went back to doing the same thing as before. Bilqis took a little of the coffee he had just stirred into the spoon he used to stir earlier. Then, insert the spoon in his mouth to try.

“Enak.”

Suddenly, Alex stood up straight and approached Bilqis. “Oh, so this is how you try my drink good or not?”

Bilqis immediately rebuked to the source of the sound and froze. Alex, however, is getting closer. Alex was standing right next to Bilqis with his shoulder attached to his shoulder.

Alex grabs the small spoon still in Bilqis's finger. Then, the man took a little coffee in the glass Bilqis made earlier and put it in his mouth.

“Hm. Yes, it's delicious.”

Suddenly, Bilqis gawked. The spoon had just entered his mouth. “But, Sir. scoop it ..”

Bilqis was unable to continue his words. He was just astonished by what the killer boss was doing.

“Why?” alex asks pretending to be unaware of what Bilqis wants to say.

“The spoon,” says Bilqis.

“Why the spoon? Any problems?” ask Alex.

The man was still attached to his secretary.

“Nothing, Sir.” Bilqis immediately shook his head quickly while grinning. “No problem.”

“Good. Now bring the coffee to my room,” said Alex who then left Bilqis who was still standing.

“Basic boss freak! The man scoops my reeds too,” said Bilqis satin while smiling amusedly.

He followed Alex's footsteps while carrying his hot coffee.
