Chapters. DTH 19

Her afternoon.

Adiba has prepared lunch for Alex, he rushed to Alex's office by using an online taxi. Although at home there is a car but Adiba can not drive it.

After traveling for twenty minutes Adiba finally reached Alex's office, he exhaled and rushed inside. All eyes were on Diba when he set foot in Alex's company.

"Sorry, can I help you?" said the receptionist followed Adiba when he wanted to get into the elevator.

Adiba. "Oh yes, I'm sorry that I have been presumptuous to enter this office without permission first." he continued unkindly.

"It doesn't matter, does the Madam want to meet someone?" ask the receptionist in a friendly tone.

"I want to meet the owner of this company,"

"Mr Alex?"

Adiba nods. "Is he inside?"

"Mrs has made an appointment?"

'Why so many questions like this when I just want to meet Mr. Alex.' inwardly Adiba.

"I have not made an appointment and I came to this office on orders from Mrs Vania. I want to deliver lunch T—" Adiba's speech was cut off when Alex suddenly got out of the elevator.

Adiba and the receptionist turned their heads, looking at Alex at the same time.

"Sorry, Sir. Lady this—"

Alex held up one hand and the receptionist went straight from there. After which, Alex stared at Adiba flatly.

"Do you want to come to this office?" tanyakanya.

"Sir, I came here to bring you lunch." Adiba offers the lunch he brought.

Alex glanced at the provision, he actually did not want to accept but he was afraid Adiba hurt and offended. Although Alex was indifferent but he was still a man who could not bear to refuse gifts from people he knew. With Alex's hand outstretched, he went straight back into the elevator without saying a word.

Adiba looked at the elevator that was closed with a sad heart.

"It seems very difficult to get Mr. Alex's heart." muttered Diba and hurried away from the office, his current destination was Vania's boutique.

Two Weeks later.

Alex's attitude remains unchanged and he still has not decided anything, while Vania has repeatedly asked and waited for answers from Alex.

Tonight, Alex just finished taking a shower. He came out wearing only shorts and bare-chested.

"By," Vania who was sitting on the dresser chair immediately smiled.

"Darling, you're ready, huh?" pinta Alex while drying her hair with a towel.

"Where are you ready?" ask Vania.

"Tonight my business partner had his son's engagement party, I forgot to be invited and I'm sorry I suddenly told you." Alex stands behind Vania's body.

Vania fell silent, she sighed then stood up from her seat.

"By, sorry. Looks like I can't accompany you," Vania put on a sad face.

Alex frowned, not usually Vania refused his invitation.

"What's the matter, honey? Do you have a show?"

"Yes, a—I have an event outside with boutique clerks and other designers. What if you go along with Adiba? Yeah, he'd want to. I'll tell her to get ready soon" Vania smiled faintly and left in front of Alex.

"Darling!" alex shouted but was ignored by Vania.

Alex sat in a chair, he was lazy to go along with Adiba but if he did not go he would be the talk. But, he went along with Adiba what would people say later? Alex was really dizzy, she finally decided to change clothes.

Arriving at the party venue, Alex goes down first and is followed by Adiba. They went inside the party owner's house.

"Be normal and don't be too clumsy." whispered Alex on the sidelines of his smile.

Adiba nodded in understanding.

"Hello, Mr. Alex. I don't think you're coming" said the party owner, shaking Alex's hand.

"Where may I not come." Alex smiled broadly.

The eyes of the party owner turned to look at Adiba.

"Master, it seems like there's something new" he quipped with a teasing smile.

Alex understood what his business partner said.

"Oh, she's my sister." lied Alex introduced Adiba as his sister.

"Sister? As far as I know your sister is not this one," the owner of the party became astonished.

"I mean, foster sister." Alex said.

After finishing talking and getting acquainted with Adiba, Alex also approached other coworkers.

"Sir, I'm sorry to go to the bathroom first." said Diba because he wanted to pee, if he was nervous he would definitely be like this.

Alex just nodded at a glance.

A few moments later.

The one-on-one event starts and is currently the peak dance for every couple that comes along. Alex glanced at Adiba who looked smiling when he saw some people coming forward to dance.

"Master, do you know. All my life, I've only seen couples dance romantically like this this. I want to try it" said Diba spontaneously with a sweet smile.

Alex was silent, then for a moment he stretched out his hand and stood up from the chair.

"Come on, don't be a village woman just because you never dance" Alex said with a flat face.

Adiba glanced at Alex and that hand, he thought first of being able to dance with a cold man like Alex.

"There's no need to think much, want to or not before I change my mind." Alex snapped and made Adiba hold his hand.

They go to the dance floor, the music starts and Alex puts his hand around Adiba's slender waist.

Adiba tries to relax, he is afraid that his nervousness will drop his pride. Slowly his hand stretched out to hold Alex's shoulder, he grasped Alex's hand.

After relaxing the dance, Alex was curious about what purpose Adiba who accepted the offer under the pretext of containing his seeds and was willing to give birth to his child.

"Diba, tell me honestly what is your motive for accepting the offer from Vania?" Alex asked while looking at Adiba's face.

"I was forced to accept it because I needed money" Adiba said honestly, he kept his head down.

"Money money, it turns out to be true if everything can be bought with money.'' Alex sneered with a small smile.

"Sir, not as you think."

"Then?" Alex looked deeper into that beautiful face that was only illuminated by a dim light beam.

Adiba explained everything and Alex listened clearly, accidentally the eyes of the two were against each other and they were staring very deep for a long time.
