ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
Special Relationship

Nora arrives at Daren's office after an annoying trip from her office. He thought it was beautiful and Oki would welcome him with pleasure not because of his closeness to Daren, but to appreciate his hard work, being able to hang out with the annoying guy for a week.

Nora enters Daren's room. He had thought Daren was struggling with the computer as usual, but it turned out that the man was staring at the phone screen, facing a girl.

As soon as Nora walks in, Daren turns off the video call and acts like nothing happened. His body is facing towards the computer screen.

Nora who was still processing that brief incident in her brain could only be dumbstruck. Then he decided to sit in his chair so as not to be suspected.

Nora landed her body in her work chair. His two eyeballs still occasionally glanced towards Daren. He immediately remembered the number named Nelan who sent Daren a message. It is still a mystery who the girl named Nelan is.

If it's not wrong, Micky once said that Daren might have a relationship with a girl. Everyone knows that Daren is untouchable by any girl in the world. Nora knew that even though the man had a relationship, Daren was very good at hiding it.

"What do you see?" daren asked as Nora unintentionally stared for more than two minutes at him.

Nora blinked her eyes and looked away. "I'm not staring at you, but at your new-looking chair."

Daren looked back, where the chair he was sitting on was. Makes sense, he thought. This chair was replaced this morning. Nora is very good at switching topics.

"Hows it? Did you get permission from your family?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"From your office?"

"I've got all the permission from them."

Daren sighed. "good. I've taken care of all the overseas needs."

Nora doesn't understand why Daren looks this happy to hear her being allowed to leave. He recalled his theory, that Daren might like him and not want to be away from him. But once again she denies it, she does not want to fall in love with Daren, spending the rest of her life with a stiff man like Daren.

Daren checked the watch in his hand. It's nine o'clock. The plane was leaving at ten, but Nora was still nowhere to be seen. Juan and Doni were still trying to contact the girl, but there was no answer at all.

"What if he doesn't come?" grouse Daren towards his two guards.

"Shall I pick you up, boss?" ask Doni.

Daren. "no need. He'll come alone."

Daren uses her own phone to call Nora's number. Even up to the eighth call, there was still no answer. He decided to sit in the waiting chair. Maybe he should be patient for the next few minutes.

"Boss, he said he was in the hospital and was going to the airport in a few minutes" Juan said, prompting Daren to turn his attention towards him.

"At the hospital?" Daren was confused. He did not have the time to ask when he saw Nora in the hospital a moment ago. As of now, he was still wondering what the girl was doing there.

Nora looks healthy and well. Daren is trying to think positively, maybe Nora just do some consulting like Micky did.

"Tell him, fifteen more minutes is too late" Daren's message to Juan, who immediately replies to Nora's message.

Moments later, Juan turned his gaze toward Daren again. "She said, it doesn't matter because it's her business."

Daren is really losing patience. Nora is sometimes more unpredictable than her company's stock fluctuations.

Juan agreed. He immediately rushed to the car.

Nora runs out of the hospital after getting a message from Juan that she has been picked up. He was a bit upset about being forced to leave the hospital when he still needed more time there.

"You should have picked me up at half-ten" said Nora, sitting in the back seat of the car.

"The boss is already angry because of your obscurity" Juan said, making Nora raise her eyebrows.

"It turns out your boss isn't the only one who sucks, his bodyguards are too."

Juan stared flat through the rearview mirror. "Do you ever have a fun person in your life? Aren't you always being cynical to everyone?"

Nora felt shunned. He did not expect Juan's sentence to act like an arrow shot and on target. Nora was silent on the way because she was upset by Juan's words.

***

Nora is happy they finally arrived at the airport. For a long time he had wanted to part as far as possible with Juan. He was still thinking about the sentence Juan gave. All this time he never felt comfortable with anyone not because of annoying people, but because Nora never tried to respect them as she should.

Overthinking Nora about her personal attitude stopped there. He was more surprised to see Daren talking familiarly with a girl. They both sat in rows.

Nora gulps. He was not jealous, but felt strange about the sight.

Nora continued her steps. Rather hesitantly approached towards Daren and the unknown girl.

Seeing Nora's arrival, Daren got up from his seat. The girl beside him immediately stopped the sentence and got up while staring at Nora's body with a flat look.

"You're almost ten minutes late" Daren's first sentence as Nora paused in front of him.

"Sorry," said Nora. Slightly glanced towards the girl beside Daren.

The girl reached out her hand while bending her lips upwards. "I'm Nelan ..."

"He's my friend" interrupted Daren before Nelan even finished her sentence.

Nora stared glued. In order to reward Nelan, he accepted the hand job. "Norah. It's nice to meet you."

"I didn't know Daren had a personal assistant."

"I'm not his personal assistant, I'm just running an office assignment to cover his daily life."

Nelan nodded in understanding. "It seems I've seen you. You're the one who showed up at Daisy's restaurant appraisal, right? The restaurant went viral because of your bad reviews."

"Ah, yes. That's my review. I was always honest with what I was going through. That's a vlogger's vow."

Nelan somewhat smelled a smile at Nora's sincerity. He ended up silent. Waiting for Daren to take over to talk.

"We should continue the conversation later because the plane will leave soon. Juan, bring my stuff!" his orders preceded the men to walk into the airport area.

Nora purposely walked the last. He suspects Daren and Nelan to have a relationship. He clearly remembered in his brain, Nelan was the name of the girl who once gave Daren a message. Nora is also very sure the girl who yesterday had a video call with Daren in the office was Nelan. They must have had a special relationship.
