In the upper lobby, Aran who had just finished cleaning the floor looked exhausted. He also decided to take a break for a while to drive away his fatigue after mopping a room that is quite spacious.
"Whoops...!"
Aran rubbed his sweat on his forehead and neck. Even though his hair was tied up, his sweat still paled even though the entire floor of this company was air-conditioned. But even so, Aran must be grateful considering he can still work in elite companies. Even though it's just the cleaning and kitchen business.
When he was busy unwinding, suddenly appeared Rowen who immediately approached Aran and sat next to him.
"Hi Aran, are you on a break?"
As usual Rowen cheerfully greeted Aran. But this time Rowen came to Aran not just a small talk, but he came to restore the city of lunch owned by Aran and gave him a little gift.
"What's this?" Aran asked as he received tentengan from Rowen.
"Just open it."
Then Aran saw the contents inside the tentengan, and it turns out the contents of a box of premium strawberries that look so fresh and arouse Aran thirst to try it immediately.
"Mr Rowen, are these strawberries for me?"
Rowen nodded and said that his old friend in his hometown had a very large strawberry garden. "Because it happened to be a big harvest so he sent it for me. Then I remember you, so I thought I'd give some to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Rowen, you are very kind. Um— can I try to eat?"
"Of course."
Aran then took a strawberry from the box and ate it.
"Woah is so sweet and fresh!" According to Aran, this is one of the best strawberries he has ever eaten in his life.
Seeing the reaction of Aran who likes the gift Rowen was made happy. He then explained proudly that strawberries from his hometown are indeed one of the best strawberries in the world.
"In that case, may I often have Mr. Rowen's strawberries with me?"
"Of course, you want as much as I'll give you."
Aran laughed. "I was just kidding..." He continued to eat his strawberry while chatting and joking with Rowen. Until finally appeared Sean who came to them both.
"Hi!" Say hello Sean.
Of course, Sean's presence makes Rowen unhappy, considering he thinks that Sean is a rival, especially a rival in getting Aran's attention.
"Hi mister Sean, em— sorry I'm taking a short break." Aran said so because he did not want Sean to think that he was just lazing. And fortunately Sean understood that.
"Ehem! What is Mr Rowen doing here? Don't you have a job?"
Hmh! Rowen's forehead immediately shriveled in annoyance, hearing Sean's words that were like mocking him.
"Haiz! You don't see what Aran is eating? That's my strawberry. And Aran really likes." Rowen deliberately said that to heat up Sean.
Of course Sean was not happy, as a result he also replied by saying that a few weeks ago he and Aran had met directly in his coffee shop.
Rowen who did not believe was immediately sure of it by asking Aran directly.
"Well, is that really Aran?"
And aran nodded in agreement.
As the heat of the jealous fire raged in Rowen's heart, she did not accept it either. While Sean looked as if he was two steps ahead of Rowen.
"And just so you know, Mr. Rowen, Aran and I met for almost three hours and we didn't feel like it was that long..." Sean keeps warming up to Rowen.
Funny thing is, Aran who was between the two even seemed to not care about the action of warming up the two adult men. He was busy enjoying the sweet strawberries given by Rowen.
"Listen to Sean, you don't get cocky!"
"You are really!"
"Oh yes Aran, by the way how are Theo and the princess?"
"Uhuk! Uhuk!" Aran suddenly chokes in shock to hear Sean mention his son's name in front of Rowen.
Both men panicked. Fortunately, Aran only slightly choked so it's okay.
Aran thinks he should switch the conversation so Rowen forgets.
Rowen did not forget and asked again. "Oh yeah, you said Theo, who is he?"
How is this, I do not want if Rowen knows about Theo and Jia, because if he knows for sure Ruka will also know later. And if that happens, it's very likely that Miss Lusi will soon know that my son and I are around Ruka, and we will be in danger.
Not wanting Rowen to ask further, Aran immediately decided to go back to work while pulling Sean's hand to come with him to talk about something.
"Eh, ta-but Aran why did you pick him up too?" Rowen is astonished to see Aran who suddenly pulls Sean.
"Um— it, I. There's something to talk about with Mr. Sean. So sorry I had to go. Once again thanks for the strobery, Mr. Rowen, excuse me..."
Aran finally leaves with Sean.
Watching that Rowen became increasingly upset with Sean, plus he was still curious about who Theo called Sean earlier.
"What does this have to do with Aran? And why does Aran seem to be covering something up for me?"
...🌸🌸🌸...
Aran then stops near the warehouse along with Sean.
"Aran, what's the matter? Why are you suddenly pulling me? Did I say it wrong?"
Sean felt that Aran looked uneasy and unsettled at this moment.
"Aran... Please tell me what's going on?"
Aran sighed and said, "Mister Sean, can you please keep my request to keep my two children secret especially from the people who work here?"
Sean gasp. "Me-me's why?"
Is she ashamed that people know she's a widow with two children? But that's not the reason. Aran is seen holding his own hand which shows that he is not calm.
"Um— if you can figure out why you don't want others to know about it?"
Aran's anxiety is growing, honestly he did not want to tell Sean about what really happened with him and his two children.
Seeing Aran who did not seem to want to say it, Sean did not want to force and decided to just obey the request of the girl he likes.
Sean patted Aran's shoulders slowly and smiled at him. "You're calm. I promise I won't tell anyone about your privacy that I know."
Hearing Sean's words just now Aran was quite relieved.
"Thank you Sean for understanding me."
"Together..."
After all, this way Sean feels special compared to other men. Because he thinks Aran let him know about him and his son while Rowen and the others don't.
