"Selina, you were almost late. Where were you? Luckily, the driver was still in the bathroom. All the other kids are already inside. What were you doing at home that made you so late?" Tania grumbled at length. She was so worried, especially since Selina hadn't arrived yet. And she was afraid that Selina would miss the bus.

"I'm sorry, Tania. I swear, there has been so much work at home. I didn't have time to clean up in the morning," Selina said, yawning several times. She had covered her mouth all night. Adam didn't want to be left behind. In order for Selina to go out of town with other colleagues, she had to comply with Adam's request. And in the end, she had to work overtime until dawn. It was a good thing he hadn't missed the bus.

Tania tapped her forehead. "Oh my God, I even forgot my camera, which was still in the drawer. What about my suitcase, who's going to take care of it? If I don't have my camera, what are we going to use to capture the moment? If it's a cell phone, the light won't be very good."

"Take it easy, Tania. Let me get the camera out of your drawer, okay? Anyway, you stay here and take care of the suitcase. I'll leave the bag here."

"Thank you, Sel. Yes, in the drawer."

Selina ran back to the office to get Tania's camera that she had left behind. Luckily, the driver who was supposed to take them all was still in the bathroom.

"Everyone gathered needs to take their names one by one so that no one is left behind or does not participate in this event. I don't want my team to miss out!" Tania said firmly.

Tania bit her finger and waited for Selina to get the camera out of her desk drawer. "Selina, you haven't arrived yet, Mrs. Oliv is already screaming like a Toa. Come quickly, I'm afraid I'll be scolded like this."

Mrs. Oliv, checking that the members were complete, checked the biodata one by one. Tania and Selina were the only ones who still hadn't filled in and signed. "Tania! Why are you standing there, hurry up and sign. We don't have much time, it's a long trip. If the weather gets bad, we'll have to stop at the roadside." Mrs. Oliv's eyes bulged perfectly, which frightened Tania. She quickly grabbed a pen and filled in her biography.

"Mom, it's just Selina who's still inside to take the camera, wait a minute."

Mrs. Oliv clucked her tongue. "Do you think this bus belongs to your family who has to wait for only one person? We have to leave and return on time, there's no waiting."

"Ta... but, ma'am."

"I'm coming!"

Tania looked over to see Selina arrive on time. She breathed a sigh of relief, at least Selina didn't miss the bus.

"You too, Selina, already know that the bus leaves early in the morning. You were late, so hurry up and fill out your biography and sign it. Tania, you should also hurry up and get on. Don't leave anything behind."

Everyone went inside. Tania and Selina chose to sit in the back. They were both too lazy to sing along with their friends.

"Selina, are you okay? Your face is so wrinkled. We'll work and go on vacation later. Mrs. Oliv isn't very strict either. We'll all get a vacation later."

The bus stopped when a black car almost hit it, but luckily the driver braked suddenly.

"Ouch, I almost hit my head," Tania complained, leaning her head against the window.

A man in a black suit entered the bus and was greeted by Mrs. Oliv.

"Well, everyone, we're not traveling alone this time. We'll be accompanied by Kenzo's secretary," Mrs. Oliv, who had been so stern earlier, suddenly became very friendly as Kenzo entered the bus.

"Oh my, Secretary Kenzo is coming too. This is the first time that Mr. Adam's right hand man is going on a trip out of town," Tania's eyes widened when she saw Kenzo's secretary giving the opening greeting before the bus was back on the road.

Selina hadn't been listening and didn't know that Secretary Kenzo was there. She was so sleepy that she didn't even blink.

"Hm, Selina must be really tired not to listen," Tania said as she removed the earphones from Selina's ears and then took the blanket to cover her best friend's body, which was still fast asleep. "I'll wake you when we reach our destination."

Not long after Secretary Kenzo boarded the bus, the CEO who had been so famous and successful at such a young age came along.

"Wow, Mr. Adam is coming." Tania was so excited to see Mr. Adam that it was rare to see him, and was even willing to take the time to encourage the staff.

"I, Selina, can't even sleep to see Mr. Adam's handsome face, even though it's only been a few minutes, eh, I'm already sleeping soundly."

Adam's eyes glanced at each chair looking for Selina, his smile growing no less when he saw that Selina was in the back seat.

"Oh yeah, I forgot, actually I also have work things in Bali so I stopped by the same place. Congratulations and the spirit of your hard work, that's all I want to say, I hope you can give your best".

The applause for Adam's speech disturbed Selina's sleep, she stretched her arms. "Tan, what's all the fuss about?"

"I want to wake you up, you know, Sel, Mr. Adam and his secretary are coming too."

"What?!"

"Quiet, don't be loud, we have to maintain our image, this is a golden opportunity to get promoted. You'll be happy too, right, duh, where's Mr. Adam, he's so handsome just wearing ordinary clothes and he's even younger."

Selina checked her phone and read the message from thirty minutes ago. "Oh man, he's coming too, how am I supposed to divide my time between vacation and work. This is called trouble."
