Stealing The Wife's First Kiss

Chapter 37 - Aruna's Silhouette I

"You are naughty!"

Dr Diana complained, seeing Hendra stop for a moment near the trash can.

The psychologist thought the patient would throw out prescription drugs. Somehow, it turned out that he squeezed the sticky note and then threw it into the trash.

"Wow... your future husband works here?" Agus stared at the Wenceslas Ritz Hotel' skyscrapers, a 5-star hotel with the famous artistic interior.

"Just ignore it, the important thing is our work is done." Aruna wasn't sure she should come to this hotel one more time.

After the family gathering, which marked her mortgaged future life, she didn't want to come to this place even in a dream.

They walked down the hotel lobby and entered the special elevator, the one she used with Hendra.

But before getting inside, a security guard kindly smiled and gave directions to use another elevator. It turned out that the elevator said 'not for the public.'

"Beep." Aruna pressed the number five, which meant they would go to the 5th-floor.

"As far as I know the 5th-floor is the floor of the Wenceslas Group head office." Lily interrupted.

Today, Aruna and her three friends delivered several sample designs for her future husband. She deliberately brought her friends.

Somehow, after the incident at the Mansion, which was full of drama, the girl wasn't brave enough to meet Hendra in person.

"I've read an article, if I'm not mistaken, 5 years ago, their new CEO deliberately moved the head office to this hotel to reduce the influence of a subsidiary with an office in one of the Wenceslas Tower icons." Lily seemed excited to provide information.

(One of four Wenceslas Tower icons functioned as the main office of some Wenceslas Group subsidiaries, including the Wenceslas Group head office before finally being moved).

"I think Lily knows more than Aruna, that's great, Li." Dea satirised, while glancing at the girl who was busy with her thoughts (Aruna).

"Yes, I have always dreamed of being the marketing team of Wenceslas Group headquarters. I wish you all knew how cool it is to be a part of them." Lily added, remembering her dream.

"Ah, I just remembered, my future brother-in-law is the leader of one of the marketing teams here. If we are lucky, we'll meet Adit later." Aruna's information made Lily's eyes sparkle.

'Is Aruna's future husband the CEO? Why is she more excited to meet her future brother-in-law? Huh, my friend this one.' Dea thought.

"Aruna, contact him now..." Lily whined.

"Yes a moment."

"Come on hurry up..."

"Yes... Wait..."

"Hen... stop your job now." A secretary ran to open the door hastily to meet his boss.

"What's wrong?" The CEO lazily replied.

"Miss... Miss Aruna came. She was at the receptionist on the 5th-floor with her friends."

Surya looks excited, hoping that the little girl's arrival could be used as medicine for his boss, who was getting worse recently.

"What business has she come here for?"

Ah, Hendra's expression was beyond Surya's predictions. The boss wasn't concerned with the information he told him. Instead, he was still busy examining the report files scattered on the table.

"Didn't you invite her yourself?" Surya's face drastically changed.

He reminded his own request to Aruna during their meeting at the Sky tower mansion.

"Oh, that one." Hendra didn't take his eyes off the papers on the table.

"Tell them to hand over the things they brought to Tita (office secretary), I'll check later." Hendra solidly answered.

"Just like that?! You won't meet her?" Surya was disappointed.

"Don't you see? I'm busy." Hendra suppressed his intonation.

"Hahh." Surya took a breath.

"I hope you won't regret it." His secretary's last sentence made Hendra uncomfortable.

The man roughly laid down the document.

For a moment, Hendra tried to get rid of the indefinable annoyance mixed with rage, which just emerged from his chest. Two feelings that blend and mingle complicated.

Finally, he gave up, and walked out of the room for fresh air.

His steps immediately stopped.

The blue eyes caught someone on the other end. The girl he was reluctant to meet was waiting for the elevator door to open, chatting cheerfully with her friends, occasionally laughed, and responded to jokes.

'Aditya.' Hendra murmured.

One of the leaders of the marketing team joined the group. He seemed to be leading the others in a light discussion full of jokes.

Hendra, the CEO was silent under observation. He slowly gave up, unable to ignore anything that caught his attention.

He moved to call the waiter and ask to convey the message that he would meet Aruna in the CEO's office.

From a distance, the man expectantly glared. Maybe, he was trying to limit himself to the girl who was causing him to experience Post-Traumatic Disorder again.

It was the same with the way he stayed away from his mother, Gayatri.

"Sorry, the lady asked you to wait." The waiter on her errand was trying to cover up her nervousness and spoke directly to the CEO.

"What?? Why is that??" Hendra's face turned annoyed.

"She... wants to eat with her friends first."
