Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

After the conversation between Anna and Devan that morning, the two of them became strangers again, acting as if nothing had ever happened between them.

Both agreed to forget the events of five years ago.

In the following days both Anna and Devan saw each other very rarely, even though they were in the same house. Either it was Devan who didn't come home until Anna came back, or it was the man who only came home to change clothes and then left again.

Never once did the two meet face to face let alone speak.

This morning, Anna left a little later than usual. Maybe because she was not feeling well, her head was throbbing in pain even though she had taken the medicine, even so, she still forced herself to go to work, after all, she would finish all her work and then go home early to rest.

Grabbing the bouquet that lay in front of the door every day, Anna then brought it in without saying anything, as if she was used to it. Until now, Anna still doesn't know who is the mastermind behind the flower sender.

Once, Anna got up early on a holiday just to see who might be putting flowers on the doorstep, only until the morning came, the woman didn't find and see anyone, and strangely the bouquet was still there. Very mysterious isn't it?

And because of that, Anna didn't want to bother and find out again, who always sent her flowers.

On the way to the bus stopped, raindrops that were only in the form of fine grains raced to reach the ground, which was already a bit wet from the morning dew. Using the bag hanging from her back, Anna protected her head and then jogged towards the place that had already entered her view.

Bad start to the day.

Luckily the clothes she was wearing were not wet. The bus she used to ride had left about twenty minutes ago, which meant she had to wait for the next bus that would take the same route.

Sitting leaning on the long bench in the bus stopped, Anna reached into her bag and pulled out her cell phone. She intended to call Devan, to say that she would be late.

Hesitating for a few minutes, Anna finally managed to text Devan. Anna didn't immediately put the flat-shaped object in, maybe waiting for a reply notification? Until five minutes had passed, a rough sigh escaped her lips when she saw Devan just read the message without replying.

"Stupid, what did you expect?" Anna's monologue hit her head, and without her noticing the people standing around her turned and gave a questioning look.

Waited about thirty minutes, finally the bus she was waiting for came. The intensity of the rain that was initially just a drizzle has now turned into very heavy rain.

The rain at the beginning of the day was the perfect thing to resume dreaming. But that is not the case for Anna.

Arriving at Devan's house, the clothes that Anna was wearing were slightly drenched in some parts.

The steam that came from between the woman's lips every time she took a breath signaled that she was cold. Without waiting long, Anna immediately entered.

However, her body immediately froze when she found Devan who was sleeping on the sofa. Even though it was already eight o'clock in the morning, usually the man have been go to the office.

With slow steps, Anna crept up, afraid to wake the man.

"Are you a thief?" Devan suddenly opened her eyes and leaned back on the sofa, turning his gaze towards her.

"H-Huh?" Anna stammered, shocked.

"You're late. Your pay cut."

"What?"

"B-but..."

"Want to protest?"

"N-no, I'm sorry," replied Anna, bowing apologetically.

Devan didn't respond, staring at Anna intensely.

Anna, who felt that she was being watched, didn't know what to do. "T-then, I'd like to do my job, sir."

"Wait."

"What?"

"Wait there, don't move," said Devan then got up from his position and walked to the second floor.

Anna complied, although she was confused and couldn't understand the meaning of the man's words.

"Dry your body."

Anna gasped in surprise when a towel suddenly landed on her head.

"Don't get me wrong. I just don't want my house to be dirty because of your wet clothes," he said again.

"I am sorry and thank you, sir."

"Remember, don't get me wrong, I did it for my house, not for you," Devan repeated.

"Okay."

"Good," Devan replied then went back up the stairs and into his study.

After that Anna did what Devan asked, even though there were towels in the bathroom on the first floor, why did the man bother doing this?

Until noon, the rain that had occurred since this morning had started to subside, leaving only drizzles.

All of Anna's work is done.

"Achew!" Anna who was standing by the window suddenly sneezed. To be honest, right now her head felt very heavy and throbbing. Maybe because the effects of the medicine she had been taking had worn off?

While on the other hand, Devan who was in his workroom seemed to be sitting back, just sitting there doing nothing, but only for a few seconds, he then moved closer to the window and stood there, his gaze fixed on the garden.

His mind drifted away. The day after tomorrow, his mother and Byanca will arrive in Indonesia. To be honest, he didn't want to meet them, much less the woman.

But how? If it was only Byanca, it might not be a problem for Devan, but the woman came with his mother.

Since a few years ago, his mother kept talking about marriage every time she contacted him. It made Devan feel bad.

Even though he had said he didn't want to get married, his mother kept saying the same thing as if she didn't care what Devan said and that also made the man very lazy to pick up the phone from his mother 'Mrs. Seira Atmadja'.

No one knows how many times a harsh sigh escaped his lips.

Now, the rain has stopped, Anna, who finished cleaning the entire house, is now getting ready to go home. Yes, as Devan had told her that day, that she could come home at any time after finishing her work.

"Achew!" Again, Anna sneezed.

The pain in her head was getting worse and the air was so cold it made her teeth chatter from time to time. Anna wants to go home early so she can rest before the pain gets worse.

Out of Devan's house, Anna reached out to measure the intensity of the drizzle, and after that, the woman started to walk towards the gate. Deden who usually roams in the yard is now nowhere to be seen.

" Achew!" he sneezes again.

The woman didn't notice that someone was watching her from the second floor.
