The Man Full of Wounds
Chapter 19

Alanna was still adjusting to her new assignment as the head of the room section, there were still some things she still had to ask Ariel as the direct superior, the solid work he did so that he did not realize it already

it's lunch break time.

There was a knock on the door from outside while tidying up his desk intending to go down for lunch.

"Yes in ! " Aanna.

The door opens, it turns out that Johan Zack's personal assistant is knocking on the door.

"Why Mr Johan ? can I help you ?" ask Alanna.

"Sir Zack told you to go to his room now. "

"If you can know what it is for ? " ask Alanna curiously.

"I don't know either, he didn't tell me, just his message that you went upstairs was told to use a special elevator. "

"Well, thank you. "

"Same-sama, please excuse me first ."

Alanna went straight out of her room as soon as Johan had gone straight to the special elevator to go upstairs. As the elevator stops the elevator door opens, Alanna walks toward Zack's secretary's desk.

"Sorry, I was told to face Mr Zack, is he in his room ? " Say Alanna before the secretary asks her why she came.

"He's in his room. " Answer the secretary was flat.

"Thank you ." Alanna said with a friendly smile even though the secretary wasn't being friendly to her.

Tok to tok.

Alanna knocked on the door when she was in front of Zack's door.

"Enter "Reply Zack from inside his room.

Alanna opened the door and then closed the door when she was in the room, it appears that Zack had been sitting on a small dining table chair that Alanna knew was not in Zack's room when she came yesterday.

"Let's Alanna, accompany me to lunch. " Take Zack smile at Alanna who is still standing in her place.

Alanna walked over and then sat in the chair in front of her Zack, the memories of those who often ate together while in Surabaya were recalled in Alanna's head.

"So remember when we were still in Surabaya." Alanna said unconsciously.

"Even here we can if you want, that's why I'm calling you so we can have a tomb together."

"But the situation is different, now you're my superior and I'm your subordinate. "

"Not your boss but your future husband. " Zack said with emphasis.

"I haven't decided yet, did you say you'd wait for my answer until later tonight ? " Alanna's stalling.

"Indeed right. " Zack acknowledged.

"Can we eat first ? don't talk about that issue. "

"Well, we'll just have lunch. " Zack agrees and starts picking up the spoon and fork next to her dinner plate, Alanna follows Zack and starts picking up her spoon and fork and starts eating their lunch. "I actually want to take you out to eat but after my lunch hour there's an important meting so it can't be too late to attend."

"It's okay that this is good enough, I was going to eat in the hotel cafeteria but Johan came and told me to come here. "

"What about your job ? " Zack asked on the sidelines of their lunch.

"Is there a problem ? "

" I'm still adjusting, I asked Mr. Ariel if there's anything I don't understand. " Answer Alanna.

"You can also ask me, you can contact me directly or to my room to ask. " Zack offers help.

"You're so busy, I don't want to bother you for such a trivial thing. " Alanna refused badly.

"Nobody bothers me if it's related to you. " Zack convinced Alanna.

"Can I change it after lunch." Alanna pushed her dinner plate after finishing her lunch. "I'm done."

"Then I also have to go meting. " Zack checked his watch. "Hopefully meeting later will not take time. " Please Zack.

"Let's come if you're still busy."

"It's okay, our problem is much more important. " Zack stands in followed by Alanna. "Maybe I was a bit slow coming. "

"Well, I'll wait. " Alanna walked towards the door.

"Alanna, I hope your answer doesn't disappoint me. " Zack's words stopped Alanna from opening the door, turned to look at Zack for a moment and then disappeared behind the door.

Returning home from the office Alanna immediately took a shower cleaning herself then headed to the kitchen to make dinner for herself. Waiting for the arrival of Zack who may be a bit slow Alanna decided to watch the television broadcast. Alanna saw the clock on the wall at ten o'clock decided to contact Zack to not come if he was still busy.

Alanna wanted to pick up her phone in the room when the bell rang from the front door, Alanna then opened the door and looked Zack with a slightly messy appearance than Alanna used to see, the buttons of the top shirt were already open, the tie hanging loosely on his neck and his suit was already on his loose. Alanna shifted a bit giving zack a way then closed the door.

"You look messy. " Said Alanna when they were inside.

"Why do I make coffee ? " ask Alanna walking towards the kitchen.

"May" replied Zack dropping himself on the sofa looking exhausted.

"Why did you force yourself to come here when you were so tired ? " ask Alanna closer putting the coffee in Zack's message on the table and sitting on the sofa next to Zack.

"I want to hear your answer. " Zack sat up straight looking at Alanna seriously.

Alanna gulped nervously at such a face by zack. "I agree to marry you but on condition. " Alanna finally made a sound and looked at Zack who was sighing in relief.

"What condition ? " Zack is curious.

"I want our marriage to be kept secret."

"Why should it be kept secret ? " ask Zack in wonder.

"You'll think like me if you're in my position. " It's clear that Alanna hasn't been understood by Zack. "You said this marriage might be only temporary if it turns out I'm not pregnant, I don't want to be the talk of people because marriage is only the same age as corn. " Add Alanna.

"Even from your mother would like you to keep it a secret ?" zack asked, beginning to understand Alanna's reasoning.

"Yes, even from my mother. " Alanna assures Zack that he's settled on his decision.

"But I can't keep it a secret from my family." Zack said objection.

"It doesn't matter to me that your family doesn't mind the reason why we got married and maybe soon we'll get divorced. "

"Okay I don't mind if this marriage is kept secret, but after marriage we'll stay at my family's house. " Zack said in a tone he did not want to argue.

"Can I still work at the hotel after we get married ? " Alanna asked hoping Zack would allow it.

"Can but not forever, let's see how it will go ahead." The answer from Zack was enough to make Alanna happy.

"Sir Zack there's still one thing I want to ask. " Alanna said a little doubtfully.

"Say. " Said Zack briefly while enjoying his coffee that had begun to cool.

"Can I still live in this apartment if we get divorced ? "

"Why can't, this is your apartment on your behalf. "

"Why can it be on my behalf?, I feel like I never bought this apartment." Alanna said confused.

"I bought it on your behalf ." Answer Zack briefly.

"Why do you do that ? I don't want to owe someone. " Said Alanna displeased.

"Then you can pay me by taking the installments because as far as I know you don't have the cash to pay for them all at once. Alanna, I don't want to talk about anything that's not so important. " Zack said he no longer wanted to be challenged, getting up from his seat after finishing his coffee.

Seeing her stand up Alanna thought Zack would be preparing to go home. "You're going home already ? " Alanna asked.

"Yes, it's late. " Zack answered while looking at his watch. "Let's rest Alanna, tomorrow I have a meeting outside the office so we might not be able to meet but at seven o'clock I'll pick you up to get acquainted and have dinner with my family."
