DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 108's

The charity auction night. I came alone, of course, with my guards out there. The event was held at a famous hotel in the capital. The atmosphere inside was quite crowded. Several people I knew were also seen there, including papa Yudhistira and mama Linda. I miss pa, ma, even though papa once kicked me out, but I will not forget the services of papa who has contributed to raising me.

Papa Stevan and mama Mauren, too. The four of them were chatting. I circulated my gaze, young and old businessmen gathered here. Of course this is a good event to seek sympathy, and expand cooperation. To seek the attention of fellow entrepreneurs. I've also been taken to events like this in Paris before.

Everyone looked at me as I went inside, whispering to each other who I was. Why I wear a mask. And whisper how mysterious I am. Yes, I wear a mask to avoid people who recognize me of course. And I'm the only one here who wears a mask!

Mr. Chandra welcomes me. He was the one who held the company of father all this time.

"Miss Laura welcome! Miss herself?" ask Mr. Chandra to find someone behind me. Yesterday I told the field that I was coming.

"I'm alone, sir. Thank you for welcoming me." My name is Laura. Father changed my name. He said Anye's name was a little difficult when spoken by the people there. Basic bule!

"Let me introduce you to the others." Mr. Chandra stretched out his hand so I could follow him. It will be a tiring thing before the auction time is another hour.

Many I met or met, maybe after I met someone, he told others that I was the owner of the number three company in the country. Whereas in mainland Europe the company father is also in third place why is it the same here? Compared to Europe, here is a small country with thousands of islands. Just say dad, "don't be too flashy". So said. Yes it is!

"Why is she wearing a mask?" asked one of the men, he still looks young probably around his thirties. "Sorry I sassy miss!"

I'm just smiling.

"Ah, that problem, our lady is very shy" Chandra told me. The man nodded his head as well as several others. Mr. Chandra also whispered that the man also had cooperation with the Aditama company. And appointed another man next to him who had a cooperative relationship with GN Group. Nice work! And some other shareholders, Mr. Chandra also introduced him to me.

"Sorry Mr. Chandra, just go ahead. I want to rest for a while." I said. The middle-aged man nodded and wanted to take me to my seat, but I refused.

"Let me take Miss Laura with you." The man by the name of Alex reached out his hand asking me to walk first to my seat.

"Please miss, I'll take you to your table."

"Ah thank you sir. I'm so honored by your treatment." A little stale base is okay, for politeness!

"No need to worry, miss! I was very happy to meet the lady" he said, then we walked together to the chair where it had been prepared for us.

Not far from my place I saw Devan and Riana coming. They are compatible. Devan looks handsome with his expensive suit, and Riana looks graceful with a matching colored dress with a tie that Devan wears. They smiled at each other, as they passed by the guests who greeted them.

Ah, nevermind! I feel better to just put it aside. My one goal right now is to make Mama Mauren shrink as small as possible.

The charity auction is over, it's exhausting too even though I'm just sitting down. Each scramble to get the goods they want at a fairly fantastic price.

"Miss Laura!" call someone, I turned my head while waiting in the lobby.

"Mr Alex?"

"I am so happy to meet my lady. Can I take the lady home?"

"Umm, sorry Mr. Alex..."

"Just call my name, Alex!" mutilate.

"Where do I dare, sir. Obviously our age is much different, and again you are the number one businessman today. It's not polite to just call names." She smiled, so sweet.

"Ah then call brother how? It feels strange to call the lord in this country!" he rubbed his neck. It felt a bit awkward to be close to him as well. I laughed softly.

"Okay, that's pretty good than me calling sir!" I said. Again he laughed.

"You're funny too." We laugh at each other. "So how? Can I take you?" tanyanya.

"I have a driver waiting."

"Why indeed? Just driver!" said it.

"Sorry sir.um brother Alex, although he's a driver but he's more loyal than a girlfriend. It's where he drives."

"So I was rejected?" he looked disappointed, either true or pretended.

"Sorry, it's just that I don't want to make him eat a blind paycheck!" Alex laughed again. Whahuh? Why should he laugh?

"You are very attractive, miss. I don't think the owner of AN. The group turned out to be far from what I had imagined before."

"Ah, no. Only I thought the owner was like.." he fell silent, then laughed embarrassedly. "Ah, it seems like it might be exactly like that! I can't speak anymore." haha, you son of a bitch!

"I've never seen a lady before!"

"I spend more time at home. Never come to the office!" my spoken.

"No way! AN Group is quite famous especially the last four years managed to get a top five ranking. Twenty-five did not enter!"

I laughed while covering my lips. It's a little elegant.

"Ah, brother Alex is too complimentary, I guess I'm just lucky! Think of it like a lottery!"

"You're too low, miss."

We're still talking. Alex's sister is quite fun, she's also open-minded. Not just discussing work. And praise me because I made a pretty big donation at the auction.

"Excuse me!" We both looked. I was quite surprised by what I saw behind me.

"Miss Laura!" Papa Stevan and mama Mauren, as well as behind him Devan and Riana.

Papa Stevan extended his hand. "Include me, I'm Stevan and this is my wife." I welcome papa's hand. Although I don't see papa very often, but papa is quite good to me. Mama Mauren also extended her hand to me.

"I'm Stevan's wife, Mauren. Just call me aunt Mauren!" he said with hospitality, I also welcomed his hands with a smile.

"It's nice to meet auntie, om!"

"And here, introduce this to my only son!" Mama Mauren pulled Devan's hand and told him to shake hands with me. Devan looks unhappy with the treatment of the mother who forced him, but he still did what was asked by the mother.

"Mr Devan!" call me. "It's nice to meet you!" Devan flinched when he heard me. He looked at me with an inexplicable look. Her hand tightly shook my hand, until it felt tight and she did not want to let go of me.

"Miss Laura already knows my son?" ask Mama Mauren. I took my hand from him. My chest is pounding, five years long and this is my physical contact with him after these five years.

"Of course, ma'am, I know because Mr. Chandra said that our company is working together. And I as a person who invests shares should not know my partner? Although I have not lived in this country for a long time of course I must know or know the people who work with us." arrogant little pa-pa right? Hehe.

"Ah of course. Sure." Sure." Mama laughed while covering her mouth.

"We hope that in the future there will be other cooperation between our company and the miss company!" said again.

"Sure, it can be talked about next time."

The black car stopped in front of us. A man got out and circled the car and opened the door for me.

"Please miss!" said polite.

"I'm sorry, sir, madam, it seems that I should leave immediately. I regret not being able to accompany you any longer!" I slightly bowed my head.

"It's okay. Next time we have time we can make an appointment to talk to each other!" Mama Mauren is very polite and friendly. Suppose he knew it was me, his son-in-law, how would he react? But no, I'm afraid he's hanging!

"Sister Alex. Mr. Devan and.nona. I say goodbye first." I say goodbye to all three. Then get in the car. The driver closed the door for me. Before the car started, I bowed my head again through the half-open window.

Alex came closer to my car, and slightly lowered his head.

"Miss, can I visit your company next time?" whispered.

"Sure, make an appointment with my secretary first." He laughed while scratching his head.

"All right! I'll call your secretary! Then good night, miss, have a good rest!" he stood up straight and waved his hand at me. I nodded my head back.

If only Devan had done that. I just saw Devan looking at me from his place. What does that look mean?
