ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
He came to Indonesia

"Sorry, Sir. It seems, the information party has been overwhelmed to overcome the problem about the good name of Mr. Everything is not going according to plan!" said an employee who was explaining the conflict that occurred in the company.

Daren scooped his face in frustration. All problems are demanded to get bigger just because of a small mistake. Daren didn't expect that his love for Nora would make him this miserable.

"Alright," Daren said in a more resolute tone. "We're going to have a sudden meeting this afternoon." Though he had to go home early because his mother said his father would return to Indonesia this afternoon.

"But, Sir. There are other meetings that should be discussed about ...."

"I don't care. Go and tell me about our schedule!" snapped Daren lost his temper.

"Good, Sir!" sahut the officer. Not wanting to get another shot, he left Daren's room first.

Daren growled furiously. Almost spilled coffee on his desk to hit some files. He was worried that Nora, who instead of falling in love with him, was in love with Isaiah when they had only met once. Since when did they get engaged if they had never met before? Daren believes there's something she still doesn't know about Nora. The girl is mysterious, which is what makes her love Nora even more.

***

The person Daren was thinking of was driving his car in the middle of the road. He's no longer at the office, nor is he home, he's heading to the airport.

Just moments ago he got a call from Isaiah, that the man was flying to Indonesia to meet him, as well as a short vacation here. Nora did not know clearly what Isaiah was doing. He guessed Isaiah's job was hard work that had little time off each month.

Nora's car kept on going like her phone kept ringing. The insults from the internet have not stopped. Various hate posts from Daren fans who disagree with Nora's opinion rampant, Nora feels like an artist suddenly. But not a few who agree with Nora and finally hate Daren.

Until Nora arrives at the airport, she doesn't check her phone for being lazy to read the messages one by one. It was better for him to wait for Isaiah in a quiet place while contemplating the problems he was facing.

Maybe Nora will soon get a solution from her new friend who will arrive soon.

Almost twenty minutes Nora pondered in her chair, watched by the various people passing in front of her. He stared at the airport door several times, Isaiah was not yet seen. Or maybe the guy's been leaving the airport since Nora hasn't arrived?

Nora checked her phone. Ignoring all the useless messages and looking for Isiah's number, the message from Isaiah telling him to pick up at the airport about fourteen hours ago, should have been Isaiah almost here.

Nora tried to call the number, but there was no answer. Nora sighed. Maybe he should be patient a little more.

Drtc ...

Nora turned to her phone. Daren's trying to reach him. Wh-wh-what for? Think Nora.

Daren contacted Nora a second time, then she picked up the call because she did not want any more interference after this.

"I want us to talk!" daren said without any greeting.

Nora glanced at her phone.

"Where are you now?" demand Daren made Nora once again stare in astonishment.

Nora growled furiously while turning off the call unilaterally. He's not going to talk to anyone who has anything to do with this big deal, even Daren. Daren gonna assume Nora's apology is fake? It's not a big deal to him. He will soon find a solution from Isaiah once the man gets here.

Daren: Please pick up the phone, I need to talk to you

Daren: You said you'd bear all your mistakes, pick up the phone first!

Nora did not reply to the messages from Daren, she just read them. What did Daren want after he picked up this phone? Apply Nora? Trying to make Nora fall in love? It was enough for Nora to endure the pain of love, she was eager to get out of this situation.

"Isaiah!" nora did not expect. He immediately got up while keeping his mouth shut. "You ... since when did you arrive?"

"It was only a few seconds ago when you looked frustrated reading something from your phone" Isaiah said, then hugged Nora. "How are you? Aghr .. You don't have to answer. I know the answer. You must be under a lot of stress."

Nora stumped a smile. "Unfortunately I have to say, yes."

Isaiah sat down beside Nora to unwind. He placed the suitcase beside him, then looked seriously at Nora. "What about Daren?"

"I've apologized to her, as you've suggested."

"You came to see him, or he dragged you into the office in a rage?"

"Of course I came to see him. How could you think that Daren would drag me into the office and sue me for apology?" he stared in wonder.

"I'm just kidding, Nora" Isaiah said, laughing.

"Please don't laugh, I'm serious."

"Sometimes you need to laugh to calm down."

Nora looked seriously at Isaiah's face. Why had he never heard that phrase from anyone before?

"What do you see? Don't like me! We've even met twice" Isaiah said, making Nora blink. "Well, you show me where to stay because I want to enjoy a holiday in Indonesia without any distractions."

Nora sighed. "You said you wanted to help me get out of this thing."

"But my original goal was to take a vacation."

Nora looked in annoyance. "Isaiah ...."

"Yes, okay. I'm a good friend of Daren's, I'll help him get his revenge on you."

"What?!" Nora knitted her eyebrows.

"Smoke!" isaiah finally smiled in jest. "I'll help you both get out of this. Just relax!" he said he grabbed Nora and walked out of the airport.

The two get into Nora's car. Isaiah asks for permission to drive so that Nora can sit back beside the steering wheel while looking at the scenery beside the road.

"I still don't understand why you're upset when Daren wants to come to your house to propose to you. You said you originally hated Daren, but now you don't hate it anymore."

"Yes, I even helped her pretend to be her boyfriend so she wouldn't be betrothed by her mother."

"But you like it, don't you? You like Daren?"

Nora ogling. He remembered that liking had once arisen, but he had already buried it deep and tried not to make it appear again. Nora is always scared and feels guilty whenever she gets close to Daren.

"No, I like other people" Nora said, making Isaiah look astonished.
