ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
Close-up

Nora follows Isaiah's proposal to apologize to Daren, It's not a bad idea. He admitted, since the name Daren smeared because of his actions, his hatred turned into pity. He had trouble sleeping because he thought about the problem.

Nora continues to drive her car at a moderate pace to Daren's office. Having no duties or jobs, she did not wear any work clothes and identification marks on her chest. He was wearing casual clothes like an ordinary person.

Nora's inconspicuous clothes, or even arguably she resembled mothers who were shopping in the market, did not make reporters of her age foreign to her at all. He remains in the spotlight, even though he has tried to come in relaxed hours.

Nora had to be extra careful entering the Daren office area because dozens of employees were waiting for her to come out. Nora was rather sorry why she came here during the day, instead of coming to Daren's safer house.

Nora stopped her car next to the other cars. He paused for a moment, not directly removing his seatbelt. He knew the reporters who were knocking on his car window would rush him when he was in a hurry.

Nora took a deep breath. He grabbed his phone and opened the car door. He was ready to listen to all the questions that were about to be asked of him.

"Are you Nora Febriana?"

"You have a relationship with Daren?"

"You must have a boyfriend and your girlfriend doesn't accept, which is why you made that video?"

"What do you think of that girl named Nelan?"

Nora tried to ignore those questions. He walked across the parking lot to reach a safer main door. Whether it was just her feelings or it was real, the door felt even further away even though Nora had already sped up her path.

"Nora, give me your opinion on Daren honestly? He's a bad guy and he used you?"

"You're pregnant with her child?!"

That last question made Nora turn her head towards the questioner. Suddenly he stopped. How presumptuous are they to accuse him like that? Nora realized there were many cameras lurking towards her, every movement and mimic her face will be recorded and viral just like that.

"Right, you're pregnant with her child?" ask one of the reporters.

Nora stared at the emotion. He could not hold back his emotions anymore. "I'm not pregnant with her child, Daren!" emphatically.

"Then do you have a relationship with him?"

"I have nothing to do with her" Nora began to ignore them and walked again. He was fed up and wanted to shout at them one by one to get away from him.

Suddenly someone pulled Nora's arm from the crowd. Nora who had resignedly immediately stared in surprise at the figure. He looked at the helper's face, it turned out that he was Daren.

Just like Nora, the reporters did not expect anything to pull Nora from their territory.

Daren pulls Nora into the entrance. The reporters who were shocked half-dead and considered this an opportunity, instantly had their cameramen aim at the situation. Most of them can not catch it clearly, but there are some who feel suitable in publishing as a current news article.

Daren continues to carry Nora until she reaches her room, then Daren releases Nora's arm and stands away from the girl. Waiting for what Nora wanted after not leaving for almost three days.

Nora breathed a sigh of relief. Not because Daren saved her, but because she was finally able to get out of that uncomfortable situation.Nora was in an awkward silence for almost five minutes. He looked up at Daren.

"I came here to apologize" Nora said in the end. "I was just making a video at the time, I had no way to calm down. I'm so mad at you."

Daren did not answer. He was daydreaming in his chair while thinking about what he had just done? Saving Nora? The person who has made several companies cancel cooperation with his company because of being affected by the viral video?

"I know you won't forgive me because this matter is so big that I can't take responsibility for getting back to where it was, at least I've come and talked to you."

Daren finally looked towards Nora. "You shouldn't be doing this" he said in a deep and disillusioned tone.

"I-I .. I never knew it turned out that the video could be spread to social media."

Daren looked away again. "You lost your job? Yeah, right?"

Nora glanced towards Daren. His eyes are already glazed. He nodded and finally his tears fell. "I lost it all, I know it's worth it. No one believed me when you accidentally. It's all my fault." Nora lost control.

"I believe." Daren looked calmly at Nora.

Isakan Nora stopped. He gazed towards the glare of Daren's shady-looking eyes. "Thank you."

"But I still can't accept your confession even though you promised to shut up about my story with Nelan to anyone."

"I know," said Nora sobbing again. "I've already been punished through someone else. I lost my job, my friends and my trust, and my family doesn't trust me anymore. You should have, too, you should've charged me in court to put me in prison for life."

"I haven't forgiven you yet, but I just wanted to say you better calm down!"

Nora glanced towards Daren.

"You're not alone, I've lost all trust in those closest to me."

Nora sobbed again. "It's all because of my fault."

"Yes, wrong. But everything has happened, just to restore the situation to what it was. If we can."

"You don't want to sue me?" ask Nora to make sure.

"Why am I suing you?"

"Because I've disappointed me."

"I told you I like you. No man wants to sue a loved one" said Daren, somewhat averted his eyes.

Nora looked in disbelief. It was the sweetest confession he had ever heard had he not been in a situation like this. After all the things that Nora had done before Daren, the man still put his heart on her.

Nora still had not found an answer when her phone that she was holding rang loudly. Isaiah's number and his picture are wide on the screen. Nora hastily turns off the phone, but Daren first sees who contacted her.

"Thank you for forgiving me, I have to go back," Nora said with an awkward expression. He walked out of the room.

"Nora, wait!"

Nora stopped her steps to turn around.

"How's your fiancee doing?"

Nora turned her eyes. He was thinking why did Daren suddenly ask his fiancee? "He ... good."

"Are you coming to see him?"

"Yes" said Nora and walked out of the room before Daren dropped the question further.

Daren rubbed his face while sighing in frustration. Nora's fiancee? Daren thinks he knows a lot about Nora, but she's still full of mystery. She never heard of Nora being close to men except her and ... Isaiah.
