Handsome Ceo's Secretary of Choice
Chapter 96. Since When?

While Davina was talking to the shopkeeper, Rania circulated her gaze to look for a shoe for her as well. But when he was listening to his gaze on the shoe shelves, he accidentally saw someone he knew very well.

Trying to justify what she was seeing, Rania also stepped her feet closer to the figure she was trying to recognize. But when he got closer, he looked surprised.

I never thought I would meet Bella here. Not that he was unhappy! Of course he was happy to be able to see Bella at this moment without waiting for their appointment. But this meeting was like a sudden for him. Plus he can clearly see how Bella and Mama Adelin look talking very familiar.

Ah, he just looks possessive. Not even behaving like this. Uh! Waitaminute! Does Rania have a relationship? Rania smiled amusedly. There was just something with him today.

Rania then with a floating smile approached Bella and Mama Adelin. Arriving near them, Rania greets Bella, "Bella!"

Bella who was attacking beside Mama Adelin immediately turned to the source of the voice that called out to her. She smiled, stepped a little and then hugged Rania with Rania.

"Rania!" Bella let go of her embrace. "I didn't expect to see you here." Bella then went back forward to hug Rania again. "I miss!"

Rania chuckles. It's always like this if they don't meet for a long time. Like when they had a semester off first and met again.

"me too. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Son Rania and Bella know each other?" mama Adelin asked when she saw their familiarity.

Bella and Rania let go of their arms. Then Bella turned her face to Mama Adelin to answer the question.

"Yes, tan. Rania and I were roommates on the campus first."

Mama Adelin smiled at that. He then went back to saying, "what if we continue shopping again?"

Rania and Bella were compact to say 'yes' to Mama Adelin.

The three of them went back to shopping. Rania is back near Davina while Mama Adelin and Bella are still in the place earlier while looking for footwear that they like.

A few minutes later, after getting what they were looking for. The four women went to the restaurant to satisfy their hunger and to just have a casual talk.

Arriving at four different women of that age at a table, Bella just took a seat right next to Mama Adelin. What else if Bella deliberately to get closer to Mama Adelin. Of course the answer is 'yes'.

They also began ordering food. While waiting for the order to come, they had a little chat to eliminate the longing they had felt. Especially Bella and Rania.

"Ra, what are you riding here for?" ask Bella who is so curious.

When Rania was about to answer, Mama Adelin first replied, "nak Rania joined the aunt. It's a aunt who picked Rania up from the office." Mom smiled when she remembered her behavior.

Bella can only hear the words of Mama Adelin. It's like he doesn't like to hear it. It's not that he as a friend doesn't like that. It's just that, he who has long liked Khanif and tried to approach Mama Adelin since a long time suddenly felt a constraint if he wanted to get closer to this family with the presence of Rania in their midst.

He recalled, since he always talked about Khanif to Rania, Rania never brought up his closeness to Khanif when they were in college. Even with his enthusiasm to talk about Khanif several times, Rania still never told him about him. But why is Rania so much closer to the Khanifs now? Especially to Mama Adelin!.

This really surprised Bella. Since when was Rania close to the Khanif family? Is it because the past year he never knew about Rania's situation? Where does Rania work and already have a relationship with someone or not?

Ah, he sounds like someone who has a high curiosity about the person! But if he didn't ask, he would always wonder what had happened over the past year.

"By!" call Rania who is sitting in front of her.

Rania who checks her social media app also loosens her head to see Bella. "Yes?"

"Where have you been working all this time?"

"That's, I work at ...."

Again mama Adelin cut their talk by answering Bella's question. "Son Rania works in aunty company."

"So Rania dong tan's office with kak Khanif."

"Of course."

The answer given by mama Adelin made Bella not surprised anymore because the answer she had guessed before. It's just, Bella wants Rania to answer it immediately, not Mama Adelin. If it's like this, Bella like to just shut up and not ask anything more and just wait until the food arrives.

But it seems he was wrong because Mama Adelin again invited him to talk by asking. "Son Bella majored in what college time was?"

Like a breath of fresh air, Bella's heart warmed up again. "Bella majored in business management, tan."

"Son Bella just graduated, where do you want to work? Did you get it?"

"Not yet, tan. Bella's looking for."

"Try aunty asked Khanif, who knows a aunt's son has a job vacancy in the office."

Bella smiled at me instantly. How not, it means he can be closer to Khanif and certainly can be closer to mama Adelin. Thinking about all the possibilities makes Bella happy. He was even happier when he returned to Indonesia.

"Can tan," replied Bella enthusiastically.

"alright. Aunt ask."

Not in the aftermath of the conversation, had their orders all arrived. They also started eating their own food. When eating, all that is heard is the sound of the clangs of spoons and forks. They ate quietly until their food was all toilet left.

Only after that, the four women re-opened the conversation while waiting for the food they had eaten earlier had really reached into digestion well.

"Auntie's happy we could get together like this. We'll take another walk."

"Yes, ma. Mama's right. Maybe we can take Brother Khanif too" Davina exclaimed.

"The kid's too stiff if we walk the same way."

"Mama's right. Maybe brother Khanif will reject the invitation of mama," kekeh Davina.

"Maybe not, tan. Why don't you try first" said Bella suddenly.

"Yes, ma," said Davina.

Just as she was about to stand up from her seat, Bella suddenly said, "tan, Rania came home with Bella."

"If Rania wants to, auntie can't be banned."

"Ra," said Bella turned to Rania who had nodded her head.

"alright. Y'all careful. If that's aunty with Davina coming home first. Assalamualaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam," answered Rania and Bella compact.

As much as Mama Adelin and Davina, Bella also invited Rania back to where Davina bought the shoes.

"Where are we going?"

"To where Davina bought shoes."

"Why do you want to go there again?" ask Rania wonder. They had already visited this shoe store.

"There were women's long running shoes that caught my attention. Like in the Korean drama."

"I thought you'd changed, but you haven't" said Rania. "All right, I'll take you"

Bella was enthusiastic. The two of them then go back to the shoe store that had stolen Bella's stop. On their way there, Bella rushes into the store and goes straight to the shoe rack that shows off the shoes of the women's lars like the shoes in the drama she still likes to watch.

"Ah, finally met," he said as he took a pair of shoes. "Well, beautify!"

"Yes, your choice is good."

"Let me try first." Bella walks into a chair to try on her shoes. But not yet he arrived, he instead gave his choice of shoes to Rania and walked back to the shoe shelves earlier.

Rania frowned in surprise when she saw Bella coming back to her with another pair of shoes.

"You want to buy two pairs?"

"Ngga," he replied, shaking his head.

"Then?"

"I chose it for you. You try it first. Who knows if it fits."

"No, ah. I don't really like that kind of style."

"Try me first. Good this loh. Please, yes .. yes ...."

"All right."

Bella also gave the lars shoes she got to Rania. When they got to a chair, they both tried their shoes. Bella tried it with enthusiasm. He even tried his shoes by walking around here and there.

"I will buy these shoes," he said happily because the shoes he was looking for were also fitting on his feet.

Bella then walked towards Rania to tell Rania to come along to walk and try the shoes she had chosen, whether it was suitable or not.

"Try the road, Ra. Who knows if you're comfortable and comfortable."

Rania nodded. He started walking like Bella said. But just a few steps, he felt that the shoes he was wearing were small. Rania sat back down.

"Why?" bella asked to see Rania stopping her footsteps.

"My feet hurt. It was a bit too small!" Rania then raised her legs to show the size of the shoes she wore to Bella. "Bel, please look at the shoe size number, dong!"

"All right." Bella came forward to see him. "Em, his shoe number is three, eight, Ra."

"My foot pads hurt. The number is three eight" said Rania with a funny smile because she did not see the size of the shoes and just put it on.

"I'm not, Bel. You are, yes!"

"Yes." Yeah."

Rania is about to take off her shoes. But Rania frowned in surprise when the shoes she wore were very difficult for her to take off.

"Why?" ask Bella again.

"Wouldn't let go!"

"Here I help." Bella also helps Rania. But it's hard again too.

"Well, don't want to leave."

Rania almost cried when she heard no sound from the entrance.

"Why don't his shoes come off?"

Rania and Bella switch to the source of the sound. They were both shocked by who they saw in front of them.
