Kala Boss Teases
Part 27 - Trusting Me

Haura looked at herself in front of the mirror, and washing her face, Haura was indeed not wearing too much thick makeup. So she was not afraid to make her makeup fade. He decided to return to the dining room after tidying himself up, and adjusting his breathing, he hoped that they would not notice the change in Haura's expression which was indeed not good at covering up his anxiety.

"Darling.." said Alden. When you see Haura enter the dining room, with a shabby chic nuance favorite Callie who really likes pastel colors.

Goody! At least Alden's words just now didn't make the pair of his grandparents unsuspecting with Haura's expression turning sour.

Alden walked up to him and clasped his slender waist as if he was leading Haura the way to the dining table. For some reason Alden suddenly landed a warm kiss on the temple of Haura, and made a mixed response from those who saw it, the most striking was Josep who immediately spouted a drink in his mouth. While the corner of Angeline's lips twitched because it held back the anger of seeing Alden so friendly with her contract lover.

"You are a matching couple" Josep continued, while Angeline immediately glanced at her best friend, even stepping on the foot of Josep who was wrapped in shoes with heels that she wore, making Josep complain of pain. "Why did you step on my foot, An!" yelled Josep stroking her foot from Angeline.

"For you to keep your dirty mouth shut!"

"Come on... An's! You can't be jealous, can you?" ledek Josep, nudging the angeline arm with his elbow, while chuckling mockingly.

"You better keep your mouth shut, Josep! You've been talking too much!" Angeline's deadly glance, which could always silence Josep's lips when it was too late, even cast Josep's guts flat on the spot.

This time Haura only knew the other side of Josep and Angeline when outside the office - if they were really this close to each other, as if there were no barriers between the two.

After the meal was over, Haura was about to say goodbye to Alden's grandparents - because she came here by public transport, certainly not funny if he did not get a taxi because it was too late at night.

"Well, grandma and grandpa, I'll go home first" said Haura, grabbing the bag she had been putting on the table.

"You want to go home by yourself?" callie's chirps prevent Haura from leaving. "Didn't you stay with Alden, and Alden's still here anyway, why did you come home first?" add the old woman.

Actually from earlier Haura was not good with the gaze of Angeline who seemed to want to skin herself - the woman seemed really unfriendly to Haura, and felt Haura was just a bully in their midst.

"No. I'm just tired, 'cause I work all day. Leave Alden here first, he may still miss you" elak Haura.

"No. I'm tired too, and I'm going to go home together" said Alden, wiping his mouth with a napkin, then getting up.

"But Alden, we're ak-"

"We'll go next time, An! Now that my future wife wants to go home soon, then I'll take her," Alden cut, stopping Angeline's line.

Angeline gave a rough sigh, her mouth bent as usual, hoping that Alden would persuade her not to sulk. But now it's different. Beside the man now stood a beautiful woman, and the first love of her best friend. Of course Angeline's anger meant nothing to Alden, and the only way right now was to let the man do as he pleased, before he really had to open Alden's eyes, if Haura is no better than him.

~•~

While in the car, Haura was silent as if she did not want to start the conversation because she was too afraid that Alden would discuss the man's confession this morning, and asked him to accept Alden.

"Why are you quiet?" Alden tightened the grip on his wheel.

"Me?" Haura pointed to herself. "Don't you know that I haven't talked much since yesterday."

Alden was silent for a moment, still concentrating on driving on the already quite dark streets.

"Are you jealous of Angeline?" he asked, his eyes still watching the asphalt of the road.

"yes.before I kiss your forehead, your facial expression really can't lie."

"Omong empty!" haura muttered softly, the woman tried to remain calm. Even though he seems completely wrong.

"He is my best friend, and I don't have any feelings for him" the man said. "I just want you."

Haura gulps her own saliva when she hears Alden's words, but her boss looks cold - but now she changes after declaring her love for him. Could it be that the cold attitude from Alden just wanted to cover up his feelings for Haura who had been buried for a long time.

"Do you just want to sleep with me?"

Haura's words made Alden brake his car suddenly. Until Haura was almost stung, fortunately the seat belt was strong enough to make Haura restrained.

"Do you think my heartfelt feelings are this, just one eye? Because I just want to sleep with you?" Alden was really offended by Haura's remark. For what he had done so far just for a romance might only happen overnight, Haura should have been able to think more logically. If Alden wants-many women are waiting in line just to sleep with him.

"Bu-not that I mean."

"But obviously what you're saying I'll just look at your body, Haura!"

"I'm just confused, Alden!" exclaiming Haura. "Why should I, out of all the women in the world, why me?!"

"I don't know myself, my feelings have no excuses, he really existed since the old days—even when I couldn't find you!"

"I can't! My heartache when betrayed has changed my view of love, I once glorified loyalty for years, but in fact—" Haura's tears really came out, women are fragile when it comes to feelings and betrayal.

"But I'm not your ex-husband" the man murmured softly. "I really love you, I really want to make you happy."

"Give me some time! Please give me time, don't force me!"

Silent for a moment, as if completely deserted there was not a single car passing between them, the gust of wind even seemed to stop as the two fell silent in their respective minds.

"I'll wait for you, I'll make you believe my feelings, Haura, I'll make sure of that!" firmly Alden. It was the only thing he could say, before he treated Haura well. "I won't sniff at you either."

Alden grabbed Haura's head, and kissed the woman's forehead gently. "I won't force you to love me, but let me keep loving you, and make you believe that my feelings are sincere. Don't keep your distance from me, Haura!"

"But I'm just a widow, and I could be a barren woman!"

"I don't care if you're barren though, we can adopt a child—I just want to live with you, Haura."
