ARROGANT CEO IN LOVE
Persuading Nora

Micky's situation worsens a week later, but Micky is cheerful as if he doesn't know he's a very dangerous threat to his life.

Daren's getting tense because he's worried about Micky's situation. Not to mention his immense guilt for already bringing the person he cared about the most to be in this situation. Daren tries to make amends, by granting Micky's request, which Micky has been asking lately.

Unfortunately, Micky's request is not simple. Micky asks Daren to marry Nora. Maybe it seems so easy, especially Daren is handsome and has power. The problem is, it is not easy to conquer Nora with just looks and power. It took a lot of effort to break Nora's ego.

Daren got out of his car. She arrived at the Girls' Midshipman High School to meet Andin just like a week ago. This time he was lucky because the students were doing the learning in front of the class, so he did not need to shy away from their sharp gazes.

Daren entered the TU room and asked the officer there to call Andin. It didn't take long for Andin to appear with an anxious expression. But Daren instead wants to intimidate Andin again like when they first met, but to ask for help from Andin.

"Sorry, am I bothering you?" daren asked after they sat facing each other. "I came here to talk about personal matters, is that a problem?"

Andin stared at the closed door of the living room. He felt safe responding to Daren without fearing anyone would be suspicious of their conversation.

"No problem. Just say it."

Daren a bit to take his eyes off. "I'm sorry I accused you of doing anything to Micky. I know that you have nothing to do with the bullying case."

Andin nodded in understanding. "I also didn't know that his friends betrayed him. Every time he told me about his friend, he was always excited."

"I want to ask for help."

Andin frowned confused brows. "What's that?"

Daren swallows the salivary vigorously to take a swing. Both of his eyes blinked incoherently. "Can ... can you persuade Nora to marry me?"

Andin was at a loss for words. He had thought about that sentence, it turned out that his guess was correct.

"I didn't force him. The thing is, it's Micky's wish."

Andin squinted his eyes. "Not your wish?"

Daren felt intimidated. That's why he turned cold. "I hope you can help me ..," he said, at a loss for words.

Andin nodded in understanding. "I'll try it." Andin knows he won't make it that easy.

"I've come to Nora's friends, Oki and Indah, but they refuse to help. The only person who can persuade her now is you. I know .. I might not be good for Nora. I'll try my best to make her happy."

Andin was quite impressed. The smile on his lips just came out.

"I just want to say that. Thank you for working together."

Andin nodded. "Together."

Daren could sigh more calmly than before. Although not a hundred percent, she was sure there was a bit of a part of Nora that would melt after hearing her brother's persuasion.

***

The arrival of Daren at school makes Andin mind all day. Nora wouldn't accept his persuasion that easily. She knew Nora had someone she was still waiting for today, that person was Ravka.

For Andin, Ravka is a poor boy who has an accident and lost his parents and Nora is even more unfortunate for waiting for him to wake up from his coma for more than five years. There is no sign of Ravka waking up yet.

Andin pityed Nora, but she could do nothing. Every time Andin tries to get Nora to fall in love with someone else, Nora immediately yells at him in tears, saying that she and Ravka are true love that nothing can separate.

Maybe for Andin it was bullshit, but for Nora the sentence was her amplifier all along.

Andin was hanging out in front of the door. Nora had just come home from the hospital a few minutes ago, of course to see Ravka. This time he will try to pin down some important reasons why Nora should not snap at him with the bulshit sentence again.

Andin sat down next to Nora who was staring at the laptop on the bed. "What are you doing?"

"Find a job" said Nora pitifully.

Andin nodded in understanding. He was silent for a moment to take a swing. If she spoke frankly, Nora would definitely be immediately upset and her efforts to prepare this plan ended in vain.

Nora looked flat. "Yes, but now I'm not married."

"Then marry!"

Nora knitted her eyebrows in confusion. She scrutinized Andin's expression carefully to look for the strangeness on her brother's face. "Do you want to come here?!" ask because of suspicion.

Andin raised his shoulders. "Just ... asked how Ravka is doing."

Nora sighed. Shift your eyes to the laptop screen again. "Still as usual" he said uninspiredly.

"There's a sign she's gonna wake up?"

Nora looked again. He's increasingly convinced that something's wrong with Andin. "No," he said.

"That means, until now you still don't know when he's gonna wake up?"

"Are you trying to make me desperate?!" search Nora.

"N-no."

Nora sighed again.

"Do you have any plans to get married?"

"Of course."

"When?"

Nora closed her laptop screen once. His shoulders turned stiff. "Okay, I'm sure you're trying to say something. What'sthat?"

Andin shook his head firmly. "I was wondering when you were planning on getting married, no particular intention."

"Of course after Ravka wakes up from her coma. You know that."

"When will he wake up?"

"I told you, I don't know."

"What if he doesn't wake up? Aren't you getting married?!"

Nora was offended by Andin's words. He felt that everyone was pulling him to the brink of despair when he still wanted to fight for Ravka.

"Many other men out there can look after you as well as Ravka, or even better than Ravka. Why would you imprison yourself in a situation like this? Nora, you've already .. You're an adult."

"Nobody can replace Ravka."

"There's, there's got to be."

"Where do you know?" Nora stared cynically.

"I know there must be someone out there who's better than Ravka."

"Despite that, I won't forget about Ravka. I'm not married to anyone but Ravka. Stop forcing me to despair!"

"What if Dad told you to despair? What if mom and dad marry you to someone who's not Ravka?!"

Nora did not answer. If true what Andin said, another story. He had only two options, according to him, or to run away from home. His eyelids suddenly heated up as hot as his blood.
