Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
Chapter 26. Khanif's Concerns

"Can. Rania dear sister, because sister understands Rania's wishes without Rania saying it first." said Rania with a smile. I don't know how many times Rania smiled like that. He himself does not know.

"Sister too dear, Rania. But, bo'ong," Reyhan chuckled back as he ruffled Rania's hair.

"See, Rania's hair gets ruffled because of her brother's naughty hands, right."

"That's not naughty, but it's gemes. Who told you too adorable."

Rania snatched away, but a moment later she snickered. He remembered very well, a lot of time had passed when Rey made her hair fall apart. He knows, he is adorable but, there is no need to also damage his hairstyle right! He then replied to Reyhan with soft words, "but you like it, right?"

"Of course I like. Otherwise, where can you like. Especially until dear." Once again Rey irritates Rania by pinching her anxious cheeks.

Rania hits Rey's arm slowly, then comments, "ih! Bad brother, sick tau. No hair, Rania's cheek was also the victim."

"But baby, right?"

"Religious. Even Rania Nyesel goes with sister." Rania snatched away by pursing her lips.

Suddenly Reyhan laughed off hearing the voice of spoiled and mimic the face of Rania. Really, he likes to piss Rania off. Especially since he hasn't done it in a long time.

"Alright, alright. Brother is sorry. Brother is forgiven, right?"

"depends."

Once again Rey chuckles. He understood very well the meaning of Rania saying the word 'dependent'.

"Alright, tonight let the brother deal. You choose any food. Whatever."

Rania looked at Reyhan with sparkling eyes. This is what he was waiting for. Then without hesitation, he also called the waiter who had just delivered them a menu book, and then mentioned the food he wanted to order.

Reyhan who heard it so gawked, he was astonished. Is it true that Rania really intends to eat a lot or is it hungry again? If Rania is starving, Rey will comment on the man who claimed to be Rania's superior when he drove Rania home later.

He could have made Rania into an eighth like this. He himself never made Rania become like this. Even before Rania asked, he offered her first.

Rania, who understood the change in Reyhan's face, held her hand to calm him down. I want to explain why he ordered so much food.

"So don't get me wrong, Mr. Khanif doesn't make Rania eighth. Even during Rania's time here, Rania's food is guaranteed. Look, Mr. Khanif took us out to eat together."

"But he's misplaced" Reyhan corrects when Khanif takes Rania to dinner at a seafood-only diner.

"Rania tau. But Mr. Khanif did not know that Rania has a prohibition if eating excessive seafood. But, shouldn't you be happy to meet Rania there?"

"Yes, that's one of the things that makes you quiet. Never mind, you always manage to make brother give up."

Rania chuckles. She was grateful that her sister was so attentive. "So, can we just keep enjoying the food?" persuade Rania.

"Of course." Reyhan smiled back.

They also enjoyed the food that had just been delivered by the waiter. While Rania and Reyhan had just eaten a meal, Khanif and Davina had almost finished eating their meal.

From the beginning when he started eating his food, Khanif did not really enjoy his food because now his mind is not focused on this very appetizing food, which is very appetizing, but his mind was fixed on Rania who was taken away by a man known to Rania but not known to him.

His mind drifted somewhere. Especially when they had returned to the inn, but Rania still had not arrived as well. Khanif kept pacing around in his room. He was very worried about Rania coming.

"Where did Rania go? Why the clock hasn't come home yet. We just didn't have dinner until this long" Khanif commented in his heart. Really, if he knows the whereabouts of Rania, this moment he will soon pick her up home.

It had been a few minutes since he had paced back and forth without thinking that he could be dizzy. His anxiety increased when he contacted Rania's phone, but did not get an answer because it turned out that Rania's phone was inactive. What heart and mind of Khanif at this time grew increasingly upset.

He wants to go out looking, but he doesn't know exactly where Rania is. If so, then it is the same as looking for a ring in a large room without any lighting. Of course everything will be in vain. Khanif then breathed a long heavy sigh. Her brain almost exploded thinking of Rania who was without the slightest news.

When Khanif was about to open the room door because he wanted to wait outside the inn, the door of Khanif's room was knocked by someone. Hearing him, Khanif stepped quickly to open the door.

"Sir."

Davina nodded, then said, "Rania has just arrived. They're still ...."

Regardless of Davina's next words, Khanif had already barged out to meet this woman who had made him so worried.

While outside the inn, Rania and Reyhan were still busy chatting as Khanif approached them. Khanif still silently looked at Rania and Reyhan who were still unaware of his arrival.

Khanif then cleared his throat, so that two different people of that type immediately knew his arrival.

"Pak Khanif," said Rania first turned her head.

"You're home."

"It's been a very late day, especially with this kind of weather. Come in first" Khanif advised.

Rania nodded, then turned back to see Reyhan to leave the house. "Sister, I'm in first."

"Hem, come in, you'll come again."

"Yes brother. Rania wait." After saying that, Rania left Khanif and Reyhan.

Now stay, Khanif and Reyhan who are still in front of the inn. Feeling the atmosphere suddenly felt awkward, Reyhan also said goodbye to go home. It was not that he wanted to dodge, it was just that he still had some urgent business.

"It was very late, I went home first. Excuse me." After saying that, Reyhan turned around to go home.

"Wait!" khanif stopped Reyhan's footsteps. Reyhan turned back.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Can we sit for a minute?"

"Of course."

They also sat in the front seat of the inn. Before Khanif opened his voice, Reyhan had already started the conversation.

"Sorry, I didn't bring Rania home right away after dinner."

"This time I'll forgive you. But if the same thing happens again in the future, I can't guarantee it."

Reyhan smiled in response. He was sure that the man in front of him was very firm in his words. Moreover, he had heard the story of Rania before coming here who said that the khanif promised to take care of Rania during the assignment to this city. Hearing Rania's story, Reyhan could feel a little relieved.

He tilted his body slightly when he started talking, so that Khanif believed what he wanted to say and also made Khanif not have to worry too much anymore as long as he was near Rania.

"Formerly Rania has told me, that you have promised Papa Rania to look after Rania while she is here. But you don't worry, as long as Rania is with me, I will also take care of Rania despite having to risk myself."

Khanif saw Reyhan. He wanted to look for a ray of doubt in Reyhan's bead, but Khanif did not find it.

Feeling Khanif had not believed him, Reyhan again said, "i will not make you believe my words. But I'll make you believe through my actions." After saying that, Reyhan paused for a moment before continuing his words again, "alright, I'll go home first."

Reyhan left Khanif. When Reyhan was in front of the car door, Reyhan stopped his hand that was about to open the car door because he heard Khanif's question.

"What's your relationship with Rania?"

Reyhan turned around, he then replied, "me and Rania, we ...."
