For the first time Nora ate after a few days she only took vitamins to keep her body healthy. Even so, he still did not enjoy the food because he was above the place to eat by force. Beside him was Daren, trying to show the best attitude possible to impress Nora's parents.
The marriage still left Nora in severe shock. Her tears were already at the end of her eyes, a little more would have come out had she not held them back.
Nora drank water to swallow food that she did not chew because she was not tasteful. He turned to Andin who was chatting with Daren's mother, while his father was busy chatting with Daren's father.
Nora glanced to the side. Daren was typing something on her phone. His expression was very serious. Nora could not be sure what she was typing until she heard her phone beside her ringing.
Nora glanced at her phone and saw a message from Daren. Then he turned his head to the side, Daren placed his phone on the table and ate as usual as if doing nothing.
Since then, the two of them have not spoken, but why should they send messages to each other when they sit in line.
Nora grabbed her phone. Opening the message from Daren with a curious expression.
Daren: Will you go to the cafe tonight? I'm there to discuss this matchmaking.
Nora turned her head flabbergasted towards Daren after reading through the short message. However Daren only displayed a brief smile, then looked back straight to give the impression that he had no conversation with Nora at all.
Nora turned her eyes. Now she thought about why Daren had told her to come, and why she wanted to talk about this matchmaking when everything was clear. Nora sighed.
***
Here Nora is tonight, in a cafe where Daren is waiting for her. Nora went inside to look for the man's whereabouts. Daren is seen at the end of the room in a black T-shirt and jacket that does not show that he is a CEO who has recently been on the rise.
Nora headed in front of Daren. His expression was still flat as if he had no intention of coming here.
Daren was happy to see Nora coming. She remembers the last time Nora smiled when she saw Micky sober up in the hospital, and it made her feel more at ease than looking at Micky's own consciousness.
"thank you, it's coming" Daren said after Nora sat down before him.
"What do you mean come to marry me without my knowledge? I rejected you once, remember?" Nora squinted her eyes. "I could've slapped you again like I used to, if I had the chance."
Daren smile. "But you didn't do it."
"Because you cheated, you brought your parents to my parents. They support you, and I support myself."
"Norga ...." Daren swallows the salivary forcefully. "I married you because of the insistence of father and mother" explained Daren, as Nora had expected. "They said you had to take responsibility for your treatment - you've been spreading a vile video about me-and this is about Micky."
Nora let out a annoyed breath.
"I'm sorry you don't like this match, but it's the result of your own treatment."
"So, now you blame me?"
Daren shook his head imperceptibly. "Yes, because you're wrong."
Nora had just wanted to refute, but she realized she was indeed wrong. He was the one who started this all happening. He is also the one who has to accept the consequences, but he is still not ready to be together with Daren and leave Ravka.
"And you took this opportunity to marry me. Right, right?" nora's tone was somewhat trembling.
"No. If I could, I'd rather leave you alone, if that's what makes you happy. I know I'm not perfect for you."
"I don't need perfection" said Nora.
"Then?"
Nora growled in frustration. "The thing is I promised to stay together ...." Ravkas. Nora could not pronounce that name.
Daren was waiting for Nora to say the name that should have come after her speech, but Nora did not speak, instead the girl massaged her forehead with a frustrated expression. Daren immediately thought of one thing, Isaiah. Nora must be thinking about Isaiah.
"I'm sorry for having to break your promise to that person" Daren said in a pity.
Nora covered her face with a palm. She almost cried, but she did not cry if there was still Daren in front of her.
"What if you take it too seriously?"
Nora looked towards Daren with a faint look. "So you think the person I love doesn't love me?"
Daren raised his shoulders. "Maybe."
"How dare you say that. Do you know who he is?"
Daren had just wanted to nod, but he just gulped. "No."
"Then, don't try to accuse him recklessly!"
"alright. I get it."
"He's not who you imagined." Nora's tone grew weaker and she lowered her head again.
"What is he really like?"
"You don't need to know. Because after I told you, you tried to be like her to make me fall in love with you, didn't you? Unfortunately I won't fall that easy, Mr. Young Popular CEO!"
Daren shakes in disagreement.
Nora thought it was time for her to leave this place. He resignedly betrothed to Daren, which is why he could not rebel like his usual treatment.
"I hear you're looking for a job" Daren said. Stopping Nora's steps instantly. "Andin told me," continued Daren.
"I've got a job."
"Where?"
Nora stared hard. "Zens."
Daren knitted his brows. "Zenayya? Zenaya Company's? Where did we first meet that?"
"Don't associate the Zenaya Company with our meeting. I'd rather call it a place to march."
"You know the company's in trouble, right?"
"Only the company told me to come. I have to take action or my father will bury me alive for being unemployed at home."
Of the many companies that have been visited by Nora, why is the company not included from these companies? Is it because Nora doesn't want an office with her anymore? Think Daren.
"I can help you get a job there. I'll help you tomorrow."
"No, thank you."
"After the massive demo that took place in Zenaya, I'm sure the company did not accept any new employees until now. Just making sure whether you're tricked or not."
Nora ogling. "Okay, then I accept your help."
Daren smile. "good. I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Nora got up from her seat to prepare to leave.
"Would I take you home?"
"No" said Nora. Being sent home by Daren is a abstinence for him.
"Be careful on the road!"
Nora knows Daren is trying to make it work at all costs. Unfortunately, he was not impressed at all.
