A Request

The morning sun was so bright. The dry season is one of the seasons that Callista likes. All seasons she likes. But she doesn't like summer and also in winter.

Callista drives her car at medium speed to Renaldy Group. Today she had to meet the man who helped her. She was shocked because the man who helped her in the nightclub is the largest shareholder in the hospital where she worked.

Callista glanced at her watch. It was still nine in the morning. At least she won't be late. Remembering that man told her not to come late. A short time later, Callista has arrived at the building owned by Renaldy Group. There was an R logo on the building. She goes her car into the parking lot of the Renaldy Group. Then, Callista got out of the vehicle. She takes off her sunglasses and puts on top of her head.

Callista stepped closer to the receptionist. She could have to call Daniel when she arrived. But she prefers not to call him.

"Good morning, miss, can I help you?" asked the receptionist when she saw Callista.

"Morning, I'm Callista. I want to see Mr. Daniel Renaldy," replied Callista, with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Callista, did you make an appointment with Mr. Daniel before?" asked the receptionist again.

"Already, I've made the appointment to meet him. You can call him to confirm my arrival," replied Callista.

"Alright, Miss, wait a moment, please. I will confirm," said the receptionist.

Callista nodded. After that, the receptionist immediately made a call.

Callista turns her gaze. She stares at every corner of the company lobby that looks very elegant. The combination of gold and silver color makes this company lobby like a five-star hotel. Must be Callista admit, this company interior design is so classy and luxurious.

"Ms. Callista," called the receptionist, which made Callista look back at the receptionist. "Yes, Have you confirmed my arrival?" asked Callista to make sure.

"Miss, you can go straight to the 95th floor. There's Mr. Daniel's office," said the receptionist while giving Callista a building access card.

"Thank you," Callista picked up the building's access card, and then she stepped into the elevator.

*Ting

The elevator door opens, Callista steps out of the elevator. She stared at a large room in the right corner. But when she wanted to continue her stepped, suddenly came a man wears a formal black suit. The man put his face when he saw Callista.

"Good morning Ms. Callista, Let me introduce my self. I'm Harry, Mr.Daniel's assistant," said the man in front of Callista named Harry.

Callista smiled kindly. "Good morning. I'm Callista. Is there Mr.Daniel in his office?"

"Yes, Ms.Callista, he is waiting for you. Let me take you," said Harry.

Callista nodded. Then Harry walks into Daniel's office. Callista followed him from behind.

"Please come in, Ms. Callista." After opening the door, Harry immediately asks her to enter.

"Thank you," replied Callista. She stepped into Daniel's office. When Callista enters Daniel's office, she already knows that she was continuously being looked at by Daniel sitting in a chair.

"You're ten minutes late, Doctor Callista," said Daniel coldly.

Callista grunts annoyance. She stepped closer to Daniel. "I had been here a few minutes ago. But your receptionist said she have to confirm first. So, don't blame me, Mr. Daniel."

"Why don't you tell me you're in the lobby? I can ask Harry to pick you up," replied Daniel, who still didn't accept the excuse.

Callista exhales harshly. "Listen to me, Mr. Daniel Renaldy, no more blame this. I came here to pay my debt."

Daniel smiled obliquely. "Well, apparently, you're impatient."

"Tell me how much I owe? I'll pay for it today." Callista picked up a brown envelope that was in her bag. She put that brown envelope on the table.

"I've got a lot of money; I don't need your money!" said Daniel firmly.

"Why did you ask me to come? You said I had to pay the debt," replied Callista, who annoyed. She's trying to hold her emotions.

"Yes, you have to pay it, but I've said from the first you paid it not with money," said Daniel. He kept staring at the woman sitting in front of him.

Callista took a deep breath, her head dizzy now when confronted with this man in front of her. She doesn't know what the man in front of her wants.

"Mr. Daniel Renaldy, can you tell me what you want? I need to get back to the hospital. Today I have a hectic schedule." Callista tried to urge the man in front of her to not wasting time. Because today she has a hectic schedule.

Daniel stepped up from his seat. He stepped closer to Callista, flashed a smile on his lips when he saw her. He kept staring at this woman in front of him.

"Alright, I just want you to come with me to my business partner's engagement party," said Daniel casually.

Callista was shocked. "Aren't you wrong? Accompany you to your business partner's engagement party? Why should I?" Callista stares at Daniel in unbelieve it what she just heard.

"Do you want to drink something?" Daniel stepped into the drinks cabinet. He took a bottle of wine and two shot glasses, then pour the wine. He gave it to the woman in front of him. "Starting a conversation with a drink, I don't think it's bad, right? Just one glass certainly won't get you drunk, Doctor Callista," he continued with staring gaze at Callista.

"Um ... I-I," Callista took the shot glass, but there was no way she could drink wine in the morning like this. She believes this is not wine without alcohol, And she could never drink alcohol.

Daniel was silent, looking at Callista, who looked nervous when she received the shot glass. He returned with a thin smile. "Can you drink alcohol?" Daniel guesses from the woman's face in front of him. She looks panicked and scared.

Callista put the shot glass in her hand on the table; then she looked at the man opposite her. The brown-colored eyes of the man in front of him were able to make her stare at him incessantly. But she quickly got rid of her mind.

"Right, Sir, I can't drink alcohol. Considering I'm a doctor. Of course, I have to take care of my health," explained Callista emphatically.

Daniel sipped wine in his hand. "My sister is also a Doctor. But she's good at drinking alcohol."

Callista growls. The man in front of her was annoying. "And I'm not your sister, Sir."

Daniel shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "In three days, you have to accompany me to my business partner's engagement party. My assistant will pick you up. "

Callista was shocked. She glared at the man. "Have I agreed to it? I haven't even said anything yet."

Daniel laughed low. "I'm a shareholder in the hospital where you worked. So, you have no reason to turn me down. You only have the option of accepting it."

Callista took a rough breath, and she clenches her hands firmly. "You're threatening me with the position you have?" Callista growls; she tried to control her emotions.

Daniel moves a shot glass in his hand rhythmically, his gaze still staring at the woman in front of him. "I don't think it's wrong to use the power I have to achieve my goals, right?"

Callista exhales harshly. "Fine! It's up to you, but I just haven't told you my apartment address yet? Why are you so sure you can find my apartment?"

Daniel smiled thinly. "You're the doctor at my hospital. There's no way I don't know about your data, do I?"

Callista was foolish asking this. The man in front of her is the owner of the hospital where she works. Of course, this man knows where her address. Instantly she feels lucky because she always put the address of her apartment, not her family home.

"All right, I need to get back to the hospital." Callista stepped out of her seat, then turned around and walked straight out of Daniel's office. She has no other choice, right? Because the man used the power he had.

Daniel continued to watch Callista leave. He smiled thinly, remembering the woman who couldn't turn him down. Daniel no longer needs to ask Harry to bring the woman who will accompany him to the party. Because now he has decided on a beautiful doctor who has blue beaded eyes that will accompany him to the party later.
