"You said it''s Goldiva chocte, right!? Crazy! It''s an expensive imported chocte brand! This is such a gem!" Andien eximed cheerfully like a child on Christmas Day. The plump woman immediately threw her tote bag and hurried to the kitchen.
"Ndien, the chocte is in my room!" Lisa shouted from the living room.
Andien immediately went up the stairs without paying attention to Lisa who shook her head.
"When ites to food, you always forget everything else," Lisa said while following her friend to the second floor.
"Where is it, Lis? I want to see the box!" Andien jumped in her ce with joy. She couldn''t wait to see the appearance of the expensive and luxurious chocte box.
"Holy shit! This is Goldiva''s limited edition! Your boss is really rich, howe he bought this kind of chocte for the employees?" Andien said when she saw the ck box.
"My boss got it from a client. He said there were 10 boxes and he shared it with the kids in the office," Lisa replied tly.
Andien''s eyes were sparkling. The rows of beautiful choctes looked tantalizing and made her lick her lips. "Lis, are you sure you''ll let me eat this?"
"Yeah, what do you think I told you toe here for? Doing myundry?"
"Ugh the problem is, this chocte is not ordinary chocte!" Andien said, lifting the chocte box.
Lisa didn''t really care. No matter how fancy chocte was, chocte was still chocte for her. There was nothing special about a lump of chocte in her eyes.
"If you don''t want to, I''ll just give it to the neighbors," Lisa teased with a yful tone.
"Uh wait, no, howe I don''t want it. Come on, let''s eat it together!"
Andien took a piece of chocte and looked at it as if it was a very valuable diamond. Real premium Belgian chocte, only a few people could eat it!
"Oh my God, this is really the best chocte I''ve ever eaten! It''s not like regr chocte, Lis!" Andien said when he chewed the chocte.
"Bullshit, it tastes like chocte in general," Lisa said dryly.
"Ah, you''re not cool! This is expensive chocte, you know!" Andien eximed furiously.
"Just finish it all, Ndien. I don''t want any of it," Lisa pushed the chocte box to Andien.
The woman with the plump body was confused when she saw Lisa''s reaction, who was not interested in the million rupiah chocte.
"Is it true? Why don''t you like it? This is expensive chocte! You rarely get chocte like this!" Andien eximed in surprise.
Lisa stared at the chocte box nkly. Her mind ran everywhere. She remembered that the chocte was given directly by Rangga. Even though the man said that the chocte was not specially given to her, Lisa''s hunch said that Rangga had bought the chocte worth millions of rupiah just for her.
Just seeing the appearance of the box made Lisa a little nauseous. She didn''t want to eat chocte from someone who shouldn''t love her.
"Just take it. You''re always crazy about food. I don''t really like chocte. Besides, it tastes the same as chocte sold in Indiemart!"
"You''re so funny. Why do youpare this million rupiah chocte with the ones that are only worth ten thousand rupiah!" Andien eximed, a little annoyed.

"But anyway, Lis," Andien said suddenly. Her mouth was still chewing the million rupiah chocte. "Are you sure this chocte is from your boss''s client? Could it be that your boss deliberately lied to you just to get closer to you?" Andien added nosily.
"Yeah, duh! Why don''t you believe me?"
"It''s strange. This is a limited edition chocte, right? It''s packed a box and the price is two million rupiahs. I think the price''s around it but it could be higher. Ah screw it I forgot. There is also no way that clients were willing to spend millions of rupiah just to buy 10 boxes of choctes. Don''t you think so?"
Andien had a point. Lisa began to think that maybe Rangga was deliberately tricking her. She hadn''t seen anyone bringing a chocte box in her office the entire day. Even Sarah asked why she didn''t get chocte either.
"Hmm. Yes, that''s right. If there were 10 boxes and he had given it to me and his secretary, then there should be 8 left. And I didn''t even know if my colleagues got it from him too… "
"Lis… Could it be that… Your boss…" The atmosphere was suddenly cold and quiet. Silence began to envelop the two.
"Is your boss handsome or not?" Andien asked spontaneously.
Lisa shook off Andien''s face while saying, "I swear you''re so stupid to ask that!"
"I''m just asking though, maybe he''s handsome and the same age. Can he rece your ex-husband?"
Lisa fell silent.
Andien looked at her closely. The plump woman leaned over and whispered, "Lis, your boss has a crush on you! Did he confess his love to you? Do you ept his love?"
"Ugh, of course not! I can''t ept my own boss as a lover!" Lisa replied firmly.
"Seriously? After he gave you expensive chocte like this?" Andien asked to make sure.
"Yes Ndien, I''m serious!"
Andien took a deep breath and then patted her friend''s shoulder. "Lis, I''ll tell you… You''re divorced from Oscar for a long time, you have to move on! There are many richer and more handsome guys than the blonde-haired Caucasian. This is an opportunity to fix your long-broken love life, Lis!"
"That''s not it, Ndien! The problem is…."
The two of them were silent for a moment.
"My boss is Rangga," Lisa said tly.
Hearing that, Andien was immediately surprised. Her eyes widened. "Rangga!?! Your childhood friend!?"
Lisa nodded. She didn''t need to exin further.
"That''s great, Lis! You have known Rangga for a long time. You should be grateful that guy likes you! This is a chance for you! A golden opportunity!" Andien''s response was very positive, but Lisa didn''t like it.
"I can''t, I can''t date Rangga, let alone marry him. I consider him as my own brother!"
"Ouch Lis, you are really funny. The problem is, you are in a difficult economic situation now. If you have a husband, he can at least help you a little, right?" Andien added, stretching out her hand.
"Ndien! You don''t have to interfere with my personal matters! Look, you''re also single and still fine until now!"
"Yes, but I don''t have the burden to support my family. Did you forget?" Andien replied, getting annoyed.
"Alright, that''s enough. I really don''t want to talk about love!"
A few momentster, the two of them stopped talking. There was only one chocte left in the box. Lisa looked at it with annoyance.
"Huh? There is only one left!"
"Seriously, you don''t want to?"
"No! I''mzy and I''m full because of you talking about Rangga!"
***
Almost a month had passed since Andien stopped by Lisa''s boarding house and talked about love while apanied by chocte. It looked like the two friends were not doing well.
Today, Lisa went to the office as usual. Nothing had changed much. Sarah was still a source of gossip and Riani still held a grudge towards her.
Suddenly, a slender woman wearing a zebra pattern shirt entered the finance department room carrying a box containing MLM cosmetics.
Her gaze fell on Lisa who was sitting at her desk. She approached Lisa with steady steps and then said, "You don''t sell clothes in Tokomedia anymore, right? Poor you, now you''re a corporate ve again!"
