ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
Disillusioned

"From the beginning I thought he was not a good man. Then, he took me abroad to do my job with him, he said it like that, he said it was for my job, when in fact it was just his way to always be close to me.

I'm not surprised if he did all that to look for an opportunity. She treated me like she treated her lover who had miscarried.

Yeah, she's got a relationship with a girl, and she almost had a child if her boyfriend didn't miscarry. Now he's trying to do it to me!" nora's voice came out through the laptop Daren was watching in his office room.

It was only a few hours ago that he saw hate messages that DAren did not understand. He didn't feel like he was making a mistake, wondering where the messages were coming from? Apparently because of Nora's video which clearly insinuates her despite not saying her name directly.

Everyone knows Nora is working with him, they can immediately guess the 'she' call that Nora means is Daren.

"Boss, the parking lot is full of reporters!" report Juan from the doorway.

Daren closed his laptop with a single jolt. He was still a bit dreamy before finally replying, "I'm going out through the back door."

Juan nodded in understanding. He'll soon move Daren's car to the back door of the office that's safer than outsiders.

It was already hours home, he turned his head towards Nora's empty chair. There should still be three days left for Nora to fill that chair. After the video spread, Daren was not sure the girl would return.

Daren doesn't know why he's still hoping, Nora has dropped him. Nora had already opened her disgrace so vilely. He wouldn't have kept quiet if it wasn't Nora.

Daren had absolutely no intention of doing anything to Nora. Even the thought of touching Nora like Nora said. He admitted he was attracted to the girl because of her striking differences, but he didn't want to make the mistake he did to Nelan. The girl accused him of cruelty.

Daren's phone rings regularly. They were hate messages that he did not want to read.

It was time for him to return from the office and seek calm, although he would not find it easily. He packed all his stuff. Walk towards the back door of the office.

Juan and Doni were waiting next to the car. They looked straight ahead.

There may be some employees who are waiting for Daren's arrival.

Juan opened the back door. Daren immediately entered without daring to turn his head towards the crowd.

"Is the gate crowded?" daren asked as Juan started the engine. Doni uses another car in the back of his car.

"We won't be able to get out easily, boss. It's so crowded."

Cars drove around the office building. Daren covered her face with sunglasses. He could see from behind his glasses, people crammed knocking on the window beside him. Juan had to be extra careful not to bump into any of them.

In a moment, Juan managed to get his car out of the area chirping reporters who did not stop giving Daren questions or taking pictures. Daren was somewhat relieved after his car went smoothly on the highway.

Daren sighed while resting her hair. Nora, she's the one who made her life turn peaceful.

"Is that true?" nancy asked as Daren arrived home from work. "You're pregnant with Nelan? You impregnated her?!" scream Nancy emotion.

"Daren, I didn't expect it" Micky said in a disappointed tone. "You hid it from me, if you had a girlfriend and it turns out you left her after she got pregnant."

"No," interrupted Daren. "He left me. What you heard from Nora's video is not entirely true. Nelan was pregnant with my son, and our son died before birth, but I was still with him until we were in Dubai yesterday, Mom. I tried to protect Nelan during her pregnancy, even until she recovered from her miscarriage."

"Why? Why do you have to do that? Haven't I told you to leave that poor girl?" nancy lost her patience.

"Why don't you talk about that to us?" sue Micky.

"Because .. 'cause I don't want you guys to know that she was pregnant before we got married. That was a mistake. Absolutely a mistake."

"I don't care, I'm disappointed in you!" Micky left the room. Leave Nancy who is still inexhaustible with Daren. There are so many angry words that he wants to say until he does not know what to say.

"You've tarnished your family's good name, your company's good name, your sister's good name.

Can you guess what's going to happen to Micky?"

Daren's lungs feel like they're going to explode. He had never thought about the effect this matter had on Micky before.

"That girl, who posted your video on the internet, what's her name?"

"Nora," said Daren coldly.

"I'll tell your father. He'll make a decision." Nancy got up from her seat.

"Mother!" prevent Daren. "Don't sue Nora, I beg you!"

Nancy stared flat. "Why? You love her too? And you feel sorry for him? Look at the wider world, Daren. He doesn't love you, you don't have to feel sorry for him!" Nancy left the room.

Daren growled furiously. Kicking the table to vent his frustration.

***

Nora's fear becomes more and more so when she gets a message from Micky that Micky was bullied on her campus. This was his mistake, Nora was ready to accept any punishment. He didn't imagine the video would be spread this far.

Not only one office now hates him, but also his family. Maybe people were busy thinking about the truth of Nora's confession, but Nora's family was busy thinking about how careless Nora was, let alone for her father who cared so much about good names. Eza will also be angry if there is someone who tries to tarnish his good name.

Nora really doesn't have anyone she can ask for help. Only one person Nora can contact, he's Micky, but Micky is still a boy and won't have a solution for him.

Nora remembered she had a number that she had been wanting to call the last few days. It was the number Isaiah gave her.

Nora entered the number into the phone, then sent a message.

Nora: Is this Isaiah's number? I'm in trouble help me

Isaiah: What happened?

Nora: It's my fault. I got Daren in big trouble....

Nora typed the whole story that had been natural. About how aggressive Daren was about forcing her to get engaged. Including accidentally posting a video of his feelings, and also losing his job from the office.

Isaiah replied with just a few sentences.

Isaiah: Apologize to Daren, that's the easiest solution you can do.
