Genius Children: Between Hate and Miss
The Before Wedding Days

"Tania!"

The call turned the attention of employees at the Johan Architecture company from the monitor screen in front of them to a young woman who had just arrived at the office. Tania's coworkers stood up and then rushed towards the young master's wife, Vincent Pramono, then surrounded her like a crowd of ants storming sweet foods.

"Tania, why haven't you told me that you're Mr. Xander's ex-wife. If only I had known, I would have kept my mouth open to not talk about your ex-husband's ugliness." Mona shows her regret for once saying that Xander is the most twisted human she has ever met. Delighted because Xander never smiled in the slightest when they met, discussing a cooperation project with the company V Pramono Group.

Joana, Johan's secretary is in charge. "It is only fitting that the first time we met a client who turned out to be Mr. Xander, your face looked pale and Mr. Xander's expression was so creepy. Apparently you have a pretty complicated story in the past."

There was a lot of talk that Tania's co-worker gave, but Arsenio's mother only put a smile on her face letting everyone pass on their uneg-unnig to her.

"Duh, if it's this way we must be careful not to let Mr. Xander angry because it makes his future wife in distress."

Tania chuckled softly hearing that. "Don't treat me like a high-ranking official. I'm Tania, your co-workers. Although I'll soon be married to Mr. Xander, but I'm still the Tania you know first. My marriage to Young Master Vincent Pramono will not affect our friendship" he said wisely. Not to be privileged just because it bears the title of young mistress candidate Vincent Pramono. He wants everyone to treat him the same way they did before Xander's videos went viral on social media.

"Tania, if you get married later don't forget all of us, will you? Don't be arrogant as a person" said Tania's co-worker next to Arsenio's mother's desk.

"Where to forget you guys." Tania circulated a glance, staring at the faces one by one of her co-workers. "As long as I work here, you've always been kind to me. Help me do the job Mr. Johan gave me without ever turning it down. To me, you're not just co-workers but brothers."

"Uuh, I'm so moved." Khansa hugged Tania tightly. He and Tania have a close relationship. Not infrequently the two spend time together even though it is just lunch in the office cafeteria.

The hug came to a halt when he heard the heavy voice of a man. "When do you want to hug? It's time to work. You should continue the work that was delayed," said Johan asked his subordinates to return to their original place and do their respective work.

The first day after being proposed to her ex-husband, Tania's life changed a little from being initially unknown to an impromptu celeb everywhere many people greeted her and gave her a sweet smile. Even the person who used to hate him was now vying for Tania's attention for wanting to take advantage of this situation.

"Nia, your cell phone keeps sounding. Appointed first, who knows it's important."

Tania glanced at the flat object next to her. Too focused work to not hear the ringing of the phone that continues to ring.

When reaching for the object, the name Xander plastered on the phone screen. "Tumben once called me at work," muttered Tania softly. Without wasting too much time, he shifted the green button and a moment later the phone connection was connected.

[Darling, where have you been? Why did you pick up my phone? You know not that I worry about you. I almost went to your office to make sure you were okay.]

The heavy voice that sounded would be a tone full of excruciating worry in Tania's hearing. Although it sounds a little more because Xander is too much to worry about him, but he understands why the prospective husband is so worried about him.

With a faint smile Tania replied, "Sorry to make you anxious. I was too busy working on your company project work report that I didn't hear a phone call from you. Yes, don't be angry anymore. I don't want us to fight over trivialities."

Well, in Tania's eyes this was just a small matter so there was no need to exaggerate. But not for Xander. The man loved the mother of his biological son too much until he did not want anything bad to happen to his future wife.

Across there, there, Xander who had just met with his subordinates waved to Ibrahim and the division head to leave the meeting room because he wanted to talk to Tania together without being disturbed by anyone.

Getting an order from the boss, Ibrahim and the head of the company's division rushed to leave the room and return to work on their respective jobs.

Still a little upset Xander replied, "I was asked by Mama and Papa to take you out to dinner to discuss our wedding plans. We will find the best time to hold a kabul ijab and wedding reception. Therefore, I want you to come bring Arsenio with you to make our dinner even more festive."

Tania's attention was diverted from the monitor screen in front of her. "Eat dinner? When?" he asked by twitching both eyebrows.

Xander said, "Later for the night. I'll have the driver pick up Arsenio first at the apartment after that just pick you up at the office."

"What's? So sudden!" tania shouted involuntarily slightly crashing against the table. Then he apologized in sign language when he realized that all eyes were looking strangely at him. Some of them even shook their heads and resumed their work.

Xander frowned so that there were fine wrinkles there. "Why indeed? You don't want to discuss our wedding plans?"

"It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I feel why all of a sudden. I'm gonna need some preparation to meet Om and Auntie. When I met both of your parents I was still wearing work clothes and my body was sticky from sweat."

Xander sipped water on the table. Throat feels dry after speaking in front of his subordinates. After that, put the glass back on the table.

"Let's calm down, dinner is at seven in the evening. I'll ask Mr. Johan for permission so you can go home early so you can go to the salon for treatment. Clothing business later I asked Ibrahim to deliver it to Mama's salon where you do the treatment."

"How are you willing not to attend dinner with my family?" connect Xander.

Tania took a deep breath. Free to refuse anyway Xander has prepared everything so that he has no choice but to accept the invitation of the future husband.

"alright. Have the driver call me when I get to the office."

"OKAY. See you tonight, honey. Love you," said Xander softly.

Tania's eyeballs move to the right and left, paying attention to the surroundings. The palm of his hand he put before his lips and said softly. "Love you too, dear."
