The Love Story of Five CEOs
I love you one more chance to be honest!

Vania walked gracefully in the office lobby where she had been working all this time.

"Good morning, Mom!" greet the two receptionists.

"Oh, Good morning! did Mr Arick just come into the office?" ask Vania, make sure.

"Oh, there, Mom. He was up there with Mr. Bayu and one more man, and I don't know who" said the receptionist.

"Male? who are Arick's male friends besides Bayu?" batin Vania while twitching her forehead.

"Yes, thank you!" With a fairly quick step, the woman stepped into the elevator to go to Arick's room.

"Why is Arick still in Bandung? that means he has no intention of avoiding me. If he avoids me, will he rush back to Jakarta? Or maybe, she actually has the same feelings as me, but she's just pretending to dislike her, because she doesn't want to disappoint her mom?" various speculations arose in Vania's mind and the last speculation managed to make the woman flowery.

the elevator door that led to the 20th floor, where the CEO's room was open and Vania came out with a sweet smile on her lips.

Then the woman knocked on the door and came in when the voice of the order came in from Arick's mouth.

"Good morning, Arick, Bay, and ...." Vania hung up her words while looking at the other young man whom she was completely unfamiliar with.

"You look excited this morning, Vania! is there something that excites you?" said Arick who felt ambiguous to Vania.

"Why did he ask like that? he should know why I look so excited? but why was he acting like nothing happened between us last night?" vania whispered to herself with a frown on her forehead.

"Why didn't you answer? and one more thing, why did you come at this hour? do you feel that this company is yours, so that you can come as you please?"

Vania's forehead is getting wrinkled. The woman was really confused as to why Arick could behave like that. "Hmm, I know, maybe Arick wants to keep his image in front of Bayu and his friend. He didn't want them to know about what happened between us last night," Inner Vania was very confident

"Sorry, Mr. Arick! it's not that I don't appreciate time, but last night something happened, which made me sleep late. I woke up last night." Vania smiled meaningfully and looked at Arick with a different look.

"Oh, like that! but that's no reason for you to be late. If you're late, you have advance notice" said Arick, which further astonished Vania.

"But you know for yourself why I'm late? you're the one who made me late. You don't pretend to forget about what you did last night to me?" Vania could not hold back anymore, because she saw Arick's attitude that like nothing happened.

"What have I done to you?" arick asked casually and with a flat face, making the woman even more confused.

"Arick! don't try to pretend not to know. From now on I tried not to dismantle it, to keep your pride in front of Bayu and your friend," Vania's voice had begun to rise.

"pretending? who is pretending? whose self-esteem do you care for? I don't need you to take care of my pride, because my pride is still there. Or maybe, that self-esteem you mean, your own self-worth? do you still have it?" arick said still casually but tucked into a sarcastic innuendo.

"Arick! stop playing again!" hardik Vania with a hunting breath.

"All right! now I'm going to unload what you did to me last night. So don't blame me, because you forced me to expose your actions yourself." Vania's gentle gaze now turned very sharp.

Seeing Arick's relaxed attitude, there was a doubt on Vania. "Don't he already know what's really going on, but it's impossible? where'd he know? obviously he fell asleep, didn't he last night?" Vania spoke to her own heart.

"Why haven't you started yet? come, talk! I can't wait to hear it" said Arick, who was accompanied by a mysterious smile.

"Arick, don't think you're behaving like this, letting me off guard and not saying it" Vania said. Then the woman turned her gaze towards Bayu and the unfamiliar Man.

"Bay and you, no matter who you are, I'd like to say that last night Arick did something heinous to me. He has forcibly taken away my honor" Vania said in a fiery tone.

"What! I never did! you don't slander me!" peekkik Arick, put on a panicked face. Really lousy acting. Wh why? because his panicked face didn't look natural...

"That's right Arick. You don't dodge! you want proof? I have taken the evidence just in case, if you intend to deny. You must not have thought that I had taken the evidence first?" Vania smiled triumphantly.

"Vania, you really aren't an expert at lying. If you were raped by Arick, you should be sad and angry when you see Arick, because as far as I know every girl who has experienced rape will scream for accountability, no matter where and whenever. But what I saw was very different from that. You just look happy. Or maybe, you've planned it before because you really want to have Arick?" Bayu open the sound and go straight to the point.

Vania's face was completely pale, hearing Bayu's words that seemed to doubt her confession.

"I'm stupid, right? shouldn't I have to act like a bully while screaming, pretending to be broken, so that my skit looks natural? it's because of my stupid mind that thinks Arick has the same feeling, so I can be careless like this." Vania is grieving her stupidity.

"Why are you quiet?" tanya Bayu full of search.

"That's because I feel like this can still be talked about. I still think that I was screaming in anger, not only was her good name destroyed but also the company name," Vania tried to give a reasonable alibi.

"Oh, how noble is your heart! in the midst of your broken condition, you still have time to think about the good name of the company. I salute you!" Bayu was amazed while smiling mysteriously.

"Vania, what are you saying is true? isn't that just your code? I love you one more chance to admit everything." Arick again voiced out with a very cold tone and a sharp look.

Vania gulped down her own saliva, as soon as she saw Arick's gaze that seemed to want to swallow her alive.

"I can't be daunted. He could have looked at me like that on purpose, so that I would be afraid." Vania whispered to herself, and put on a brave face again.

"Of course what I said is true. Why would I lie? now I want you to take responsibility for what you did to me. Otherwise, I will be forced to spread this evidence to the public" Vania threatened with a stern look.

"All right! I've given you the opportunity to acknowledge your cipher, but you have not heeded it at all. So now I won't hesitate to make you regret your actions that are out of bounds."

Arick turned the laptop in front of him towards Vania.

"Let's see this, Vania!" Vania's face immediately turned pale like it was not drained of blood at all.
