DEVANYE. STILL LOVING YOU
part 111's

Today I visited Alex's company. Some of the people I sent couldn't make him give the shares even with a triple price offer. He instead said he wanted to meet me for dinner straight away while discussing the matter. Oh gosh. It's still better if he personally invites me on the phone. He said that to the man I sent. After all, it was just a dinner.

Samuel is so annoying. He said it's coming soon but it's been more than a month yet.

"Why is that pouting?" Alex asked, opening the car door for me. I pulled both corners of my lips, gave a lazy smile to her, she just laughed a little at me.

"Nothing's funny!" my ketus. He stopped his laughter.

"It turns out I can see the other side of Miss Laura!" he said, then closed the car door when I got inside. Alex half ran round the car and then got behind the wheel.

"Are you ready?" ask her while starting her car.

"No need to ask!" he laughed again. I am a seatbelt with my body.

"Miss Laura is so fierce, I'm so scared!" alex said with a scared face. I rolled a lazy eyeball. "But I'm happy, Miss Laura doesn't behave like other women who like attention. That's why I like Miss."

"Don't equate me with another woman! I am like this, fierce. The trouble?!" he laughed again.

"Oh, of course not! A fierce woman even excites me!" he said once again glancing at me. Hehh, what does that mean? Is he in mode? Too lazy. If it wasn't for the office problems I wouldn't have gone with him!

Not long after we got to where we were headed. One waiter walking in front of us showed me the place Alex had booked.

Up to our table, Alex pulled a chair for me. The treatment is very sweet.

"Thank you!" my spoken.

"Either. I don't know what kind of food she likes, so it's okay if we eat this potluck?" ask Alex to be down. A waiter keeps a plate on the table. Steak tenderloin with cream sauce on black.

"It's okay, right?" ask Alex again. Actually I'm tired of that food, I want another, especially I want batagor, hehe. Appreciate the people who brought me.

"Yes it's okay. It's pretty special. Why do I have to look romantic? Is the honorable Alex sir asking me out?" I asked, while playing the fork in my hand. Yes I thought it was a normal dinner, but it turns out the atmosphere here is very romantic. There was no other visitor on this second floor, was it possible that he had already booked this floor just for us? The room is dim, and in the middle of this table there is also a candle that is lit.

Alex laughed at my words while scratching the back of his neck. "Well, if you think of this as a date, it's okay!" he's laughing a little.

"Sorry sir Alex..."

"Call me brother, like that night. I sound old with the call 'sir'!" his protest was that he began to cut the steak into small pieces quickly and then thrust the plate at me.

"This I cut for you." Ish romantic snobs! He's in mode maybe huh? I took the plate and exchanged mine that was still intact.

"okay! Brother Alex, it doesn't need to be like this, I can cut it myself."

"It's okay, I want it!" she smiles. What a sweet, it could have been if someone else who saw would have melted. The dimples on her cheeks made her look as sweet as the Afghan singer.

"Thanks! I apologized earlier. Just go straight to the point. I don't like pleasantries!" my spoken. "Regarding Alex's shares in Aditama corp., may I? I'll offer you a fair price if brother Alex wants to sell it to me!" he did not react, just silently looking at me sharply. I'm waiting for an answer. He breathed a long and heavy breath.

"I thought we were just going to dinner." she smiled as she tilted her head, leaning her back against the back of the chair.

"I'm just grigetan same brother Alex, some of my men I've sent for the business, but brother Alex keukeuh invited me to dinner. Not to talk about this?" ask again. He shrugged both his shoulders. I laughed and grieved not liking it. Let it be if he thinks I'm being disrespectful.

"Why does the lady want those shares? It was just a worthless stock because Aditama corp. was already on the verge of bankruptcy. Many have canceled their cooperation. I don't think the company's gonna last another two years." I swallowed the food I had chewed, then took a drink of water in my glass.

"What if they almost went bankrupt? Two years I think will be enough to resurrect the company. Come on Alex. I want those shares. Whatever price Alex wants I'll buy. Yea?" I tried to persuade this man.

"What's your motive?" he ate the steak quietly, his gaze fixed on his plate. I'm speechless. He asked for motive, does he know what my purpose is?

"I know you have a lot of shares there. If you want to make it quickly bankrupt can it be by pulling shares from them? What motive do you want my shares? Want to acquire?" ask him again.

I chuckled as he read my way of thinking.

"Knowledge!" I said with a smile. He laughed and saw me.

"Do you have a grudge against the owner of that company?" ask Alex again.

"Umm. I actually want more revenge on his mother." I said. Yes, my target from the beginning was to his mother, not Devan.

"That's aunt Mauren?" i'm nodding. "You seem to know their family well.

"Lumayan!" I said, one piece of steak goes back into my mouth.

"intriguing. What's your relationship with them?"

"That's secret! You know them too?" my many.

"Yes, because we had a partnership and I also planted shares there. It used to be pretty good but now." he fell silent, then laughed in a mocking tone.

"Can we not discuss this?" he said his face turned wry.

"Why?" my many. "Is it because you also have a grudge against the owner of the Aditama corp.? On whom? About Stevan? Aunt Mauren? Or Devan?" he's speechless. "I know you also played a part in playing with the company until Devan is now fooled by his business. He's been having a tough time these four years, and Alex's brother is playing in it. Exactly using this opportunity to take him down without anyone else would blame Alex's sister even more!" Alex gasped at my words. "Couldn't you?" I took my drink and drank it.

He laughed loudly, a laugh that was quite frightening to me. "Someone knows yes!" he kept his laughing voice down. "I didn't think Miss Laura knew what I was doing. It's great!" praise him while raising the glass containing wine in front of him. "I wonder what exactly makes this beautiful and elegant woman have a grudge with the queen of the Aditama family!" he drank the drink and kept it back.

"Secret!" I said while putting my index finger in front of my lips. He laughed again while shaking his head.

"What a mystery, I'm getting curious. Can we know more, Miss? I'm really interested in you!"

"We know only business associates, nothing else!" my spoken. He nodded his head.

"Dearly enough. I want to know you even further. Who knew you were the angel God sent me!"

"Unfortunately this angel already belongs to someone else!" my spoken. He was surprised to look at me.

"Yes!" I nodded and took a napkin to wipe my mouth.

"No way!" said it. "There's no ring on your ring finger."

"What does ring mean? It's just a symbol!" She's speechless. The look on his face turned grim mixed with sadness.

"I've never heard of you getting married!" said again.

"Did I have to put up the news that I have a husband?"

He was speechless, twitching his forehead with his thumb and index finger.

"I'm sorry, because I broke your heart, Alex. But I also don't want to make you like me any further." he was still silent.

"okay! Since my food has run out and there is no agreement between us, it looks like I have to leave, I will go home alone!" I got up from my chair. "Thank you for the food."

"Eh wait. I drove home" he said, standing up.

"No, Alex, I don't want to..."

"I brought you here, so I'll take you back to the hotel." I nodded in agreement.

We walked to the basement where the luxury car was parked. He opened the car door for me. Then turn around and enter the other door, sitting behind the wheel. The car is moving slowly.

"I didn't know you were married. You look so young, successful and talented, I think you're single. Please forgive me for mistaking!" he glanced at me occasionally.

"Yes I think because I married her that's why I can be as successful now!"

"Darling yes, why should we meet now, not before you married your husband." I laughed hearing him speak in a half sulking tone. "I'm sure if we met before then, I'd be able to get your heart, maybe we already have a child." she laughed, I was the same.

"It might be!" my spoken. "But Alex's brother is too piquant."

"Why not get sick? I'm sure! If you don't want to and don't love me, I will force you to want and love me anyway!" Geez, I met another possessive guy like him!

"I'm really amazed by you, Laura!" it's the first time she's mentioned my name without a frills, miss. "The first time I met you at the charity auction, I think I fell in love with you, even though you were trying to cover your identity. There's something different about you. I don't know what, but you've made me so impressed with you!"

"Yes I know, I'm awesome! Many say that."

"It's no wonder your beauty makes men want to always admire you."

"Stop that dreadlocks, Alex. Sometimes I feel like it's a gift, but it's a disaster."

"Yes, I guess many will not give up, including me." I nodded, we both laughed.

The streets are smooth tonight, not too crowded, but the night is getting darker up there. The moonlight was covered in black clouds that had started to evenly spread across the night sky.

The car stopped in front of the hotel. He opened the seatbelt.

"I go out alone, don't have to open it." I said as I opened my seat belt. He smiled while nodding.

"Laura."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Tomorrow come to my office, okay? Lunch time!" I'm stunned. Does this mean he'll agree?

"okay!" I said while nodding assenting. She smiles. "Thank you for dinner." I open the door and get out of there. He waved his hand before stepping back on the gas of his car.

I walked into the hotel, some servants nodding respectfully at me. One of them precedes me to press the elevator button for me.

My body is tired, it feels sticky too. Later I will take a bath with warm water plus aromatherapy to calm my nerves.

Arriving at my room, I opened the door, the room was dark, but when I left for dinner the lights were on. Is the light broken?

I walked carefully in the direction where there was a light switch, pressing it until the situation in my room was brightly lit. Glare, I blocked the light of the lamp that made my eyes hurt.

"Millionaire!!" someone's voice shocked me from behind. I turned my body and saw Samuel standing there.

"Brah!" my scream then approached, she smiled with great sweetness, stretching her arms as wide as she could. I stretched my hand towards him.

"Aww.." she was strangled as I pinched her stomach skin with my finger. Anxious!

"sickness. The bar! Prince dateng even maen cubit! Too!" his great-grandson as he rubbed his box stomach.

"Racaine! I've been waiting for you for a long time Sam, why just came?!" I screamed until he covered his ears.

"Busy! The artificial lake project is a bit stuck!" said it.

"Can't you?" I stared hard at him.

"Wouldn't you take me to sit down first? Tired of it." he said, then he walked to the sofa.

"I'll get a drink first!" I walked over to the fridge and picked up the canned drink from inside, and returned to Sam handing the drink to him. Samuel immediately opened it and drank greedily.

"Why can the project get stuck?" I sat next to him.

"Biasa, there's someone who wants to make trouble, but I've cleared that guy up." he laughed in an evil tone. Yeah, 'clean'! Surely no one will survive.
