My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 55

"News of your affair with one of the former female employees here has spread throughout this company. The news of not wearing it has even been heard to the ears of our superiors. Yesterday, we had a sudden meeting and for the good of the name of this company, we were forced to take a tough decision" said Mr. Agus.

"Yes, God!" Dodi looked panicked and now her eyes looked teary. "Am I fired, sir?"

Agus shook his head slowly. "We have decided to give you a demotion. Where now we position yourself as a regular employee in this company," replied Mr. Agus with a serious face staring at Dodi.

"What! Being a regular employee? But, Mr Agus, can't I be given a lighter sentence? For example, cut the salary or whatever it is, but do not revoke my current position," said Dodi while pleading with the man who became his superior.

"Sorry, but our decision is inviolable" the man replied later.

Dodi looks resigned. He could no longer do anything to maintain his position at the company. The punishment was light because the superiors still gave permission to work in the company, even though they were just ordinary employees.

"All right then. Excuse me first," said Dodi as he walked away from the room with tears that now look welled up in his eyes.

"Oh my God, what else is this ordeal? There is still not enough trial for the trials that You have given to my family so far," muttered Dodi who finally shed her tears.

The boutique Mrs Arniz.

Time goes on and it doesn't feel like it's noon and it's time for Arini to take a break.

"Oh, here!" call Mrs Arniz with a crisp face.

Mrs Arniz is very happy to see the earnestness and spirit of Arini in work. In addition, Arini also looks so quickly adapted to his environment and as an expression of his gratitude, the woman wanted to invite Arini to lunch together.

"Yes, ma'am," replied Arini with a quick step toward Madame Arniz.

"Come, we'll have lunch together. Today I'm the one who deals," said Mrs Arniz while embracing Arini's shoulder who is now standing next to him.

Arini looks shady. He felt bad for his friends who were now looking at him with astonished looks. "Ehmm, actually I have promised lunch with Saints, Madam," replied Arini as she glanced at one of the women named Suci.

"Alright, Madam," replied the Saint while nodding his head.

"Well, now come on!" Mrs Arniz slowly pulled Arini's hand towards a cafe located not far from the position of the magnificent boutique was standing.

After ordering food and drinks for them, Mrs Arniz invited Arini to sit at an empty table. Actually, Mrs Arniz deliberately invited Arini to lunch together. He wanted to solve the young woman's personal problems.

In fact, he had obtained quite a bit of information about Arini. However, to be more convincing, he wanted to hear the story straight from Arini's lips. After they sat down leisurely while waiting for their order, Madame Arniz began their conversation.

"Arini, I'm sorry. I don't actually mean to interfere in your personal affairs. However, my intentions are good. I want to help you find a way out of the biggest problem you're facing right now" Mrs Arniz said.

Arini raised her head while looking fixedly at the beautiful middle-aged woman. "What does Madam mean? Sorry, I don't understand" said Arini.

Mistress Arniz grabbed Arini's hand then grasped it tightly. The woman's gaze turned into a sadness. "I already know all about you and the strange problems that have recently befallen you, Arini. And honestly, I was so shocked after hearing the news."

Arini rounded her eyes after hearing the beautiful middle-aged woman's words. "Really? How do you know that shameful story, Madam? It's a disgrace, I'm really embarrassed" said Arini who is now bowed in shame.

"It doesn't matter where I know it. But, right now I want to hear that story directly from you, Arini. Fear not! My intentions are good, I just want to help you" said Mrs Arniz again, who now clasped Arini's hand.

Arini exhaled heavily and again raised her head to look at Madame Arniz. "What have you heard about this shameful story?"

"Everything," replied Mrs Arniz steadily.

Arini laughed softly. However, Madam Arniz knew that behind the young woman's laughter was a deep wound. "It's really embarrassing" he murmured.

"Tell me, Arini. Do not cover up, here I am ready to listen to all your complaints. Now, I am not a Mistress Arniz who is your superior, but a friend who is ready to share your joys and sorrows with you," said Mrs Arniz as she stared fixedly at Arini.

Arini finally nodded and she was willing to tell the woman the problem.
