The Love Story of Five CEOs
I loved her a long time ago

"Sleep? aren't we going tonight, too, brother?"

Arick did not answer at all. He pretended to be unwilling to respond to Calista's implied remarks while inviting her to carry out the stirring process to create something similar in form to the two of them. Though the snake had wriggled to hear Calista's words.

"Sister, is sister asleep? you can't sleep, right?" Calista put her chin on Arick's arm, and she pursed her lips to see Arick's closed eyes.

"Haish, big brother is not exciting, every night is like this. If this is the case, mending doesn't want to marry." Calista grumbled, making the real Arick sleepless, smile thinly.

Silence was created between the couple. Calista stared intensely at her husband's back, then she put her body on the husband's body and hugged the man from behind.

Arick wasn't unaware of Calista's embrace. However, he still tries not to touch Calista until he can see Arend is unharmed when he sees himself and Calista. Because according to him with Arend who said iklhas released Calista fortunately but, still did not show the trunk of his nose in front of him, a sign that the man was still injured.

Calista's breathing now sounds regular, a sign that the woman is completely asleep in her sleep. Arick twisted his body, staring at the peaceful face of his wife. Then he brought his face closer and kissed the woman's forehead then turned to Calista's lips.

Arick raised Calista's head and placed the woman's head over his arm. Then he hugged his wife's body tightly.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Arick is back at work, post-holiday married.

"Lake in!" he said from the inside when the door of his study was knocked by the outside.

The sound of the door squealing did not make Arick distract him from the screen of the document he was checking.

"Rick, do you want some coffee?" ask a woman whose head is sticking out from behind the door.

Arick raised his face, and saw the woman who was his personal secretary, smiling at him.

"No need for Vania. I've been stocked with Calista's coffee." replied Arick, presumably as he turned his gaze back towards the documents piled up in front of him.

The smile on the lips of the woman called Vania instantly turned wry at Arick's rejection. What he had just popped his head, decided to just walk in. He walked gracefully closer towards Arick.

"Oh yeah, Rick, congratulations on your marriage. As your friend I am sad that you have to accept this marriage that you do not want at all. I hope Arend returns quickly, so you can be free again. You must have been tormented for a week, living with a woman you don't love at all." said Vania at length.

Arick clenched his forehead hearing Vania's words. He closed the documents in front of him and immediately stared intently at Vania.

"What do you mean by the word tormented? do you think I'm living a tormented life with Calista? You can see for yourself, I even want to drink his coffee now, do you think I'm tormented? not at all."

Vania was stunned to hear the answer that had just been thrown from Arick's mouth. He thought that Arick would sigh, and confided in what the man was going through.

"Hmm, were you forced by your impromptu wife to bring coffee to the office? from there it was seen that he was not a good wife. He's trying to embarrass you, Rick. You will definitely be laughed at by employees, because walking while carrying a thermos filled with coffee. You look like you have no authority, Rick." said Vania, with a thin grin on her lips. Convinced that Arick will be influenced by his words.

"You've been too involved, Vania. It's really not your realm to meddle in things you don't know at all. Callista is my wife now and I never feel tormented living with her, because she is a good wife. Even though Arend is back, there's no way I'm handing him back to him. Marriage is not a toy to me." Arick said that made Vania speechless can not say anything.

"And just so you know, this coffee I brought, at my own request. Because honestly, only this time I feel the coffee that fits on my tongue." continued Arick back.

"You mean, my coffee loses to him?"

"Hmm, I actually don't like pleasantries, but I'm very sorry I have to be honest, 'yes'. It feels so much different. Sorry!"

"You said you weren't tormented, but why does your face look depressed, Rick? Tell me you're experiencing pressure, right?" vania was very confident in her words.

"Yes, I'm so depressed!"

"I've guessed, Rick. It was visible from your face," Vania's smile rose.

"I'm depressed with you, Vania. Don't you think that I don't know that you love me. I'm so depressed about the feelings you have, for me,"

"Do you know?" Vania's eyes grew bigger to hear Arick's words.

"Yes I know. I'm not a fool, who can't realize that you have more feelings than friends. But, please stop it. I've never loved you the same. I put you to work here, purely out of help, when you were in desperate need of a job, because your papa's business went bankrupt. But it turns out that you're mistaken for my help."

Vania's tears began to seep out. She did not expect that Arick did not have any feelings for her at all.

"What's my lack of Rick? is it because I'm not rich like you?"

"Stop talks like that! it has nothing to do with it at all. I think you must have heard of my family never seeing anyone of its status. But I really don't have any feelings for you. So help us to get rid of that feeling from now on!"

"It's easy for you to say it. What about me, that's a very difficult thing, Rick."

"certainly can! Therefore I decided that you are no longer my secretary from now on! you __"

"You fired me?"

"No! but you I moved to a branch office in Bandung. I chose it there, because your parents also live there." said Arick, firmly.

"You have heart, Rick. Now you explain, do you love your wife?"

"Do I have to answer?"

"Yes!"

"Why?" ask Arick coldly.

"Because of your answer, determine the decision I must take." said Vania while putting her hand in her blazer pocket.

"Yes, I love him! I have loved him since long ago. I've been trying to get him to Arend, knowing that my sister loves him too. But we were meant to be together, so we could still get married."

"Ok, then I'll back off! thanks Rick for the answer. I'm sorry," concluded Vania. Then he twisted his body and swung his feet stepping out with more and more tears coming out.

At the same time Kama came in and frowned, seeing Vania Arick's secretary cry
