Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

The atmosphere in the dining room was quiet, only the occasional clinking of spoons could be heard. Currently, Mrs. Seira, Byanca, Leo, and Devan are sitting together enjoying the food that is served in front of them, while Anna? The woman ate alone in the kitchen directly behind the four of them. It wasn\'t far, maybe only a few steps?

Don\'t ask why, because the dining table at Devan\'s house is not as big as the one at Oma\'s. The man only lives alone so all the things in Devan\'s house are not meant for many people. Even though he has abundant wealth, the concept of his house from the gate to the bathroom is his wish. Yes, the house was designed only for him alone.

"How are you doing in Australia Aunt?" Leo suddenly spoke up and managed to get all eyes on him immediately, but only for a split second.

"Well."

"Auntie has to take me there sometime," Leo said again. Now and then he glanced at Anna, and a few times their gaze meet and it made him a little awkward.

Their conversation continued, only small talk, once in a while Byanca chimed in. While Devan, the man had been silent since then and only focused on the food in front of her.

Suddenly the ringing of the cellphone sounded so loud and managed to distract everyone except Devan, the man seemed very busy with the pieces of meat on his plate as if not bothered at all. While Anna, who heard a very familiar ringing tone, immediately moved quickly, moving from her position, looking for the origin of the sound.

Anna suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if trying to remember where she had put her bag.

"In the cupboard next to the tv," Devan suddenly said.

Not waiting long, Anna headed to the place that Devan meant. And sure enough, her bag was in the drawer at the bottom of the cupboard.

"Hello," Anna answered the incoming call which turned out to be from Naila.

"Mom, this is Dave."

"Hello, honey. Why?"

"Where is a mother now? Why haven\'t you come home yet?"

"It\'s about to go home, how come. Be patient, honey. Dave wants to eat something?" she asked.

"No Mom. Dave is full. Then be careful on the road," Dave replied from the other side.

"Okay," and after that, the call ended.

Because the position of the living room not far from the dining room allowed Anna\'s voice to reach everyone\'s ears.

"Who?" asked Mrs. Seira when she saw Anna walking back towards the kitchen.

"Maybe her husband, Mom, who else?" Devan answered a question that wasn\'t directed at him, causing Leo and Byanca to look at that man who was still busy with his food as if he was talking to himself, and of course, that managed to make Anna freeze on the spot.

"You are married?" Seira asked enthusiastically.

"She even has a child," again Devan answered in a flat tone.

"I didn\'t ask you."

"I\'m full. You guys continue to eat dinner," replied Devan immediately stood up from his seat.

"That fast? Sit down and eat a lot Devan, or at least wait for us to finish eating, don\'t you miss Me?" asked Mrs. Seira.

"I still have work to do, Mom," replied Devan without stopping his steps, climbing the stairs, and disappearing behind the door of his study.

A harsh sigh escaped Mrs. Seira\'s lips.

"Devan is like that, Aunt. He\'s a workaholic," Leo said.

Seira didn\'t respond, the woman then turned to where Anna was.

"Come on, Anna. Just eat here, with us," said Seira to the woman.

"Thank you, madam. I\'ll just stay here," replied Anna who had returned to her original position.

"How old is your son?" Seira asked again, she just wanted to make small talk, venting her frustration because of Devan\'s attitude.

"I-it\'s been more than four years, madam," Anna stuttered slightly, avoiding looking at Leo as much as possible.

"Where does your husband work?" Seira asked again taking the last bite from her plate.

The question was silent, Anna didn\'t know how to answer. Why do they all including Devan say that she is already married?

Anna did not know that when Nicho took care of Dave\'s birth certificate, the man entered her name as Dave\'s father or in other words as Anna\'s husband. So that when someone looks for anything about that woman, then that\'s the status they would find.

And until now, Anna didn\'t know that at all. Because Nicho told her not to worry about anything. And all she needed to do was take care of Dave.

Leo who saw Anna\'s silence immediately took over the conversation, "Auntie, better if you ask me, have you forgotten about me?" Leo put on a made-up sad expression that made Mrs. Seira respond with a smile.

"When will Auntie visit grandma?" Leo asked again.

"Ah yes, Byanca how are you doing in Australia?" he added again scanning the woman\'s position.

"Who are you talking to?" Seira asked.

"You two, it wouldn\'t be fair for me to just talk to Aunt," Leo replied and managed to make the two women laugh lightly.

Mrs. Seira and Byanca glanced at each other briefly, and then looked back at Leo who was busy with the food on his plate again.

"I did a good job, although a few months ago my father\'s company had a bit of a disaster, it\'s resolved now," replied Byanca.

"Is that true? You are not only beautiful but also smart. Ah, why is Devan always luckier than me?"

"You\'re too much Leo. It\'s all thanks to my parents\' upbringing. Without them I couldn\'t be what I am today," replied Byanca in a very soft voice.

Seira smiled again, she was constantly amazed by the attitude of her future daughter-in-law. To her, it was very elegant and classy at the same time.

Leo smiled at Byanca\'s words. "If only I was born first, does that mean I will be your husband?" Leo joked and then laughed out loud.

"I\'m sure, later you will also find a better woman than me," replied Byanca.

"Um, I hope so."

"Ah yes, Auntie has contacted Grandma?" Leo asked again.

"Not yet."

"Huh? So Grandma doesn\'t know that Auntie is in this country?"

"No, I wanted to surprise her by visiting there directly," replied Seira.

Leo chuckled.

"My mother will also arrive tomorrow, or maybe the day after?" said Leo.

"Um, I had a chance to talk to her before leaving for Indonesia," replied Seira.

"Looks like you two agreed to visit," Leo said.

"We did."

"Huh? Did I miss something? Seeing how Auntie was talking, it looks like you guys are planning something," Leo said again and it managed to make Mrs. Seira smile again.

"Just wait until your parents and Byanca\'s parents come. You will find out," replied Seira.

"Even your parents too?" Leo asked with an enthusiastic look at Byanca.

The woman just nodded, a faint smile and a blush already filled her face.

"Oh, I am getting impatient," said the man again, his attitude as if to show that he had no idea what their visit to Indonesia was all about.
