DEALLOVES
27 | Dating with CEO

"Why did you think? Release me!"

"I beg you Dera. I don't know what to do now. I really can't if you get me, Ra."

"..."

"Ra, please.. I'm sorry."

Dera was silent for a moment. After that he nodded slowly. Seeing Dera's response, Nanda was truly relieved.

"Please dear," said Nanda as she tightened her arms.

Nanda and Dera are on their way to Nanda's apartment.

"We go to the apartment first, Ra! Let me rest first. Your legs are still hurting, right?"

"Nan, I don't want to go there. I'll go straight to the office."

"You still want to argue with me now?"

"Nanda- "

"Std.. Please Ra, just give me a go!"

They arrived at the Nanda apartment. As soon as they got out of the car, Nanda immediately carried Dera to her apartment room. Of course Dera had tried to keep asking Nanda to drop him, but Nanda did not care.

"Okay, honey, you rest here. I'm leaving for a minute, I need to see a client. I'll be back here again."

"But Nanda, I-I"

"Well, you don't want to be sanctioned by your CEO, do you? So don't debate anymore!"

Nanda leaves Dera alone in the apartment while she has to meet her clients at a restaurant. Dera can only resign on Nanda's orders. If you can actually Dera better go home or to the office alone than having to be in the apartment Nanda.

Nanda finally finished with his important meeting, he immediately returned to the apartment to meet Dera.

When Nanda arrived, Dera was still asleep. Nanda was so anxious to see the calm face of Dera who was sleeping.

"Dear, you are sweet, even if you sleep like this. Don't mistake me if I'm so crazy about you" Nanda said, gently rubbing Dera's head.

Dera who felt Nanda's touch instantly woke up. He was shocked to see Nanda in front of him. Dera immediately spontaneously moved up and kept his position distance towards Nanda.

"Eh Nan, when are you coming back?"

"How should you, dear."

"I'm sorry I overslept."

"Hm, Honey. Why apologize? I asked you to rest here, didn't I?"

"Ehm Nanda, I'm going to the office, or if I don't want to go home. I don't want to be here."

"Why? You're not comfortable here?"

"E-ee.."

"Or are you afraid I can macem with you, hm?"

"No Nan, I'm just not used to being here."

"Yes, I am anter you go home. Don't go to the office today. I want you to rest until your feet heal. Besides, you must be tired of the long journey?"

"My feet are Nan's. If I don't go to the office, keep doing my job .... "

"Std.. Don't think about work first, darling."

Nanda drove Dera home. Nanda was really worried about Dera's condition especially because of the incident of his sprained leg earlier. Nanda would absolutely not allow Dera to set foot in the office for today. He just wants Dera to rest.

---

Dera is back in the office today. His feet are used normally. He returned to his routine as the secretary of Nanda Armandito.

Dera had to check several files related to Nanda's company project, especially in recent days Dera did not know the development of the project due to not going to the office.

His busyness made him surprised when someone opened the door of his room.

"Hi Ra's.."

"Good, Nanda! You're making me surprised."

"That's not so serious, honey. Sorry, I didn't knock on the door."

"You are a habit of that. Who has an office, so love it."

"Forgive me, honey! Coffee?" Nanda approached Dera's desk and thrust a cup of his homemade coffee at Dera.

"Thank you. Why bother anyway? You joined really, huh? No work?"

"Why did you say that, honey? I just want the same attention my girlfriend who is super busy. Masa' can't?"

"Hmm, okay. I take your attention."

"You can always make me gurgle, so you're so upset for me."

"Ehm, you need anything? Is there anything I can help you with? If there is no need, go back to your room."

"Well, how did you ngusir? Is there a secretary who dares to ngusir CEO?"

"I mean you have no other job? I have to check all this Nan. If you're here, I can't focus."

"Well, so I was able to get your attention out of the job, huh?"

"Don't PD-an! I mean you're interrupting my concentration, Nanda."

"Hm, but I do need something, dear."

"What do you need? What documents do I need to find?"

"No," Nanda approached Dera who was standing beside the shelf where some documents were. "I need you, honey," said Nanda, holding Dera from behind.

"Why Ra? I know this is an office, so why? It's just the two of us here."

"Nanda, I want us to be professionals in the office."

"meaning?"

"We keep our distance. Like a secretary and a boss in general."

"Well.. Don't torture me like that, honey. That's too hard."

"I don't want the office business to be as disruptive as our personal business."

"Hm, okay. But, give me time! I need adjustments because it will be very difficult for me not to be close to you. But you're not fair darling, the intensity of our most dominant encounter is in the office. If you batesin me like this, then when can we have quality time together, hum?" Nanda flashed a kiss on Dera's cheek.

"Ehm .... "

"Consequences if you want us to be professional according to your thoughts, you must make us have time alone outside the office. How's it? Hmm, if so, we're dating this mall. Okay?"

"Nan, I-I"

"Eits, can not refuse if you want our deal that was running. Take it easy, honey, I'll ask your parents for permission."

"You PD because they must be ngizinin, my mother's father could not refuse your request. But where are we going, Nan?"

"Hehe.. Look at it later, baby!"

Tonight Nanda asked Dera to go on a date. Start with a romantic dinner at a super fancy restaurant. Indeed, Dera felt uncomfortable in such a place.

"You like the food, don't you, honey? Or want another pesen?"

"No Nanda, this is enough. Nan, next time I want to invite you to dinner is not necessary in a place as luxurious as this."

"Why, honey?"

"I'm not comfortable."

"Hm, okay that way. Sorry about me, honey. Next time I'll make our date more memorable, and make you feel comfortable. I promise."

After finishing their dinner, Nanda takes Dera to the rooftop restaurant where from there can be seen the night view of the city is so beautiful below.

"It turns out that the view from here is good as well," said Dera amazed.

"Yes. This mall is really beautiful, especially since you're by my side now."

"..."

"Splitting.. You cold?"

"Ahh gapapa kok Nan."

Nanda immediately took off his suit and put it on Dera's body, "This cake was a sweetie, so you don't get cold."

"Manda.. No need to."

"St! Gapapa Darling, okay!"

After the suit was wrapped in Dera's body, Nanda held Dera tightly from behind.

"Ehm, Nan-"

"Don't protest again, dear! This isn't an office, is it? Please, I want to talk to you."

"..."

"Splitting.. What are we now?"

"You mean?"

"I can be with you all the time, we can date like gini, I can hug you as comfortable as this, and I can call you 'honey' anytime. What are we still called? Do you still think our relationship is only limited to secretaries and bosses? For you until this second am I just your CEO?"

"Please Nan, I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Why Honey?"

"Manda.. It's a shame, we better go home."

"Please, don't change our conversation first, honey. I need your answer."

Dera remained unmoved. He did not understand what to answer Nanda. Honestly, until this moment Dera can not forget that his relationship with Nanda is a consequence of their agreement regarding the fate of the Darmajaya group.

"Why are you being cheated on, honey? Is that as hard as answering my question?"

"Sorry-your-name"

"Ra, am I that bad until you find it hard to accept me and love me?"

"It wasn't Nanda, but I .... "

"Is your heart still Al's?"

"Please Nan, I don't want to talk about this." Dera tries to release Nanda's hold.

Nanda did not stay still, he tightened his embrace.

"Splitting.. Love me a chance to prove my seriousness to you! Please, forget all our deals at that time. I want us to start everything from scratch, start our relationship without any agreement. Straight from our hearts. Because from the first time since our first meeting, I've been loving you sincerely and I have serious intentions with you. The deal I made was just so I had a chance to always be by your side."

"Nanda, please understand me. To me, it's not as easy as I thought."

"Sorry Dera. Okay.. I will be more patient to wait for your heart to open for me. I won't give up, I won't be tired waiting for the certainty of our relationship."

Nanda took off her arms and switched to face Dera. Nanda touched Dera's face slowly and immediately kissed Dera's lips. It did not last long because Dera had just briefly released himself from Nanda. He moved Nanda's face away from her.

"Darling .... "

"Nan, I want to go home now."

"Hm, okay honey, let me get you home."

Their date tonight ended as usual with Nanda's feelings still being hung up by her beloved secretary.
