Chapter 26：Pretend Dont Know (1/2)

”So this is papa's company office,” Ethan thought as he finally arrived at the NamTech office. Ethan looked at the multi-story office building from the inside of his car before he finally got out and walked into the office.

In front of the office, there is a person wearing a security guard uniform who is standing, when he saw Ethan who seemed to enter the office, he greeted

”Good morning, sir,” said the office security guard who was in front of the office with a friendly smile.

”Good morning, sir,” Ethan replied with a smiling nod and stepped into the office.

The receptionist got up from her seat when she saw someone wearing a suit enter the office, from her experience of several years as a receptionist, she could tell that that person was an important person.

”Good morning, sir,” she said with a smile.

”Good morning,” Ethan replied with a smile and headed straight for the elevator. His father said his room was on the 6th floor. He pressed the two elevator buttons there but it seemed that both of them were heading upstairs.

While waiting, Ethan decided to look around the area and his gaze fell on a woman wearing a college alma mater jacket.

”Isn't she the woman in Bali?” thought Ethan, remembering the woman's face. Ethan then decided to walk over to her.

”Looks like she's busy, right? Maybe I shouldn't do it? Then what am I gonna talk about if I greet her? Oh right, her necklace is still on me,” Ethan thought after a while just standing silently near Carolina who was busy with her cellphone screen.

”Excuse me ...” said Ethan, grabbing Carolina's shoulder.

”Yes,” replied Carolina and then turned to look at Ethan.

Ethan could see Carolina in shock before she finally put on her previous facial expression.

”She knows me,” Ethan thought, smiling happily that she remembered him.

”What is it?” asked Carolina.

”Have we met?” Ethan asked, suddenly curious about Carolina's answer. Since observing Carolina at a hotel restaurant in Bali, Ethan could conclude that Carolina wants to keep her image up and likes to pretend.

”Sorry, it looks like you got the wrong person,” replied Carolina with a smile. Ethan immediately noticed the smile. It was the fake smile he wore a lot.

”Wow, so she wants to pretend she doesn't know me, huh?” Ethan thought, growing interested in the woman.

”Sir Ethan!” Ethan was just about to continue with his words, but suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him. Ethan then turned around and saw Agung standing behind him.

Since knowing that Ethan can speak Indonesian, Agung no longer uses English and greets Ethan in Indonesian.

Ethan finally decides to let Carolina go first, he can ask Agung later to find out the identity of Carolina.

”Hello,” Ethan finally says and walks along with Agung in the direction of the elevator.

”Woahh,” Ethan became amazed when he arrived on the 6th floor, where his office is located. On that floor the interior design is white and there are a few sofas that seem like a waiting room in the middle of the room.

Ethan could also see that there were only two doors on the floor, one that read Toilet while the other had the words CEO's room.

Right in front of the door that reads the CEO's room, there is a tall table like a reception desk. Ethan immediately assumed it was Agung's desk, their office secretary.

When he realized that Agung was staring at him, Ethan tried to calm down again. Currently, he is a CEO! He was embarrassed too when he looked ”countrified” in front of Agung because he had never seen such a good room.

”Ahem, that's my room, right?” Ethan asked, looking again with dignity.

”Yes, Sir. This is my place. If there is anything you need, you can call me via the intercom,” said Agung, then walked to his desk and began to busy himself.

Ethan no longer wants to bother Agung anymore and immediately enters his office.

”Woah ... the room is bigger than director Ha Joon's room,” said Ethan when he saw his room which had a small living room, toilet, and work table.

Once inside, the first time Ethan did was inspect the toilet in there.

”Woah…” Ethan couldn't stop being amazed when he saw that toilet which also had a shower in it.

”There's a bidet too, boss's toilet is indeed different!” he said amazed then tried to occupy the sofa which became the living room in there.
