He asked me to set up a blind date for him but ended up asking me to be his wife on a contract.
Chapter 1 Set Me Up on a Blind Date
"Alba, I have an important task for you," said Mr. Malik. He is the CEO of Pelisia Citra Ayu, commonly abbreviated to Pecitra.
"You can express it comfortably, Sir." I lifted the shirt collar of the 185 cm tall man to tie his tie.
He looked me in the eye. "Set me up on a blind date!"
Wait ... what? What did he say? Repeat it!
I was pretty sure the sky was blue and there wasn't a wind or rainstorm in town. How could a human being who had been turned into a corporate computer decide to go on a blind date?
"Yes, Sir." I looked up and met his almond eyes, just as he did. "Who's your date?"
He grinned at me. So sweet. "You're the one who should be looking for... AAAAKKKHHHH!"
My hands tightened Mr. Malik's tie until he was choking impulsively. I'm sorry, Sir. I did it on purpose.
He wasn't satisfied with having me work from sunrise to sunset, taking care of not only office matters but also his personal needs, so what next? He asked me to manage his love life and find him dates. He must have thought I was a matchmaker or a warrior of Cupid, huh?
Mr. Malik shouted, "Are you going to kill me?" Honestly, I wanted to... but I didn't dare, so?
I loosened the tie that was still hanging around the Boss's neck, then smiled a beautiful smile, I'm sure it made his chest vibrate.
"Sorry, Sir. I was just too excited because you entrusted me with this special task. Don't worry, I'll find the best partner for you." I straightened the man's tie again. "What kind of ideal woman do you want?"
The CEO was unspoken for a moment, then took a step back, after that observing my appearance. "Just like you," he said.
***
Mr. Malik's partner can't be chosen carelessly. The woman must have a clear identity and a strong background, as my boss doesn't like buying a pig in a poke.
I sifted through information on the families of the entrepreneurs who collaborated with the Pelisia Group, finding out which of them had an only daughter, and determining whether they were already engaged in marriage. This way, I could confirm their identities without a doubt.
The man sitting in his chair reviewed the adult data of the women who had passed the selection. He skimmed it, then closed it nonchalantly. He had no idea how much my heart ached that the hard work I'd put in with all my heart and soul hadn't received the appreciation I'd hoped for.
Praise, extra bonuses, paid vacations... I didn't expect all of that just because I did something so trivial. Still, I hoped he'd show some interest, even if only a little. Those people were his potential wives.
"Is there anything you want to say?" He closed the paper.
I took a step closer to him. "Director Wirawan's daughter, Rosiana, is free tonight. Your schedule is also free. So..."
He pointed at me with his pen. "Make an appointment with her," he ordered.

Mr. Malik was going to have a private dinner with his blind date partner, so I didn't have to accompany him. Finally...! A free night. I hadn't felt this way in a long time. It was something commonplace for others, but for me, it was priceless.
I've carefully prepared everything for Mr. Malik's date. From renting out the entire restaurant so no one but the boss and his partner will be there and buying a large bouquet of red roses for Mr. Malik to give to the woman.
To make the atmosphere more romantic, I prepared a fireworks show that will be held at the end of the event.
"Honey, are you ready!" Aulia exclaimed. She's Pecitra's Finance Manager.
It was her birthday. She celebrated the occasion by treating all her employees to dinner.
Attending meals with coworkers is a great way to maintain good relationships with them. Besides maintaining established intimacy, it can also help prevent others from making us the subject of gossip if we're not present.
"Wait a minute, honey." I turned off the computer and grabbed my bag on the table. "Let's go!" I spoke.
As we stepped forward, an expressionless CEO suddenly appeared at the door of his room. He walked toward us, carrying the aura of a polar monster that sent a chill through the room.
"Where are you going, Al?" His eyebrows raised.
Oh my! I never expected him to show up when we were having so much fun. I had a terrible feeling. This feeling told me that the boss was going to ruin my beautiful plans to go out with Aulia.
"I'm going to ...."
Without giving me a chance to finish my sentence, the man grabbed my hand and led us both to the elevator. He immediately pressed the button for the ground floor, leaving Aulia standing alone in front of my desk.
Shortly afterward, the elevator we were in experienced a breakdown. The lights went out, and we were both locked out.
"Are you planning on not accompanying me?" he whispered. His breath rumbled in my ear.
Even though he already knew that we were both trapped in a lift that was experiencing problems, he was still talking incoherently
"Why aren't you answering?" He shook me.
I was startled, not surprised, because Mr. Malik pulled me close and locked me in his embrace. The distance between us was so close that I could hear Mr. Malik's heartbeat clearly.
In an emergency like this, how could he do something that was not in line with professional principles?
