The Secretaries
CHAPTER 49

Time goes by and the day starts to dissolve. Darren still gently rubbed Shani's stomach. And his gaze broke into the face of the woman who was asleep.

Darren should have gone from there. However, his legs seemed to be so heavy to move. Still want to linger, maybe so deep down Darren.

And other responsibilities forced him to shuffle. It's hard, but Darren has to go home. Shani is right, at home there is still his wife who is pregnant. Darren cares about Zaila because she is pregnant with her child. A sense of wanting to protect, that's all, nothing more.

Darren stroked Shani's head, then kissed her forehead carefully so as not to disturb her deep sleep. Then the man stepped slowly and left the house.

And the next morning Shani started to blink. His body felt sore because from night his sleeping position did not change. He also sat down on the head of the bed.

Shani recalled that last night the man was sitting on the floor, right on the one he was looking at. Darren looked at him and looked after him for a while. And Shani doesn't know what she missed last night.

In a dull flashback piece due to torture, Shani also begins to disperse her daydream. It was getting late, and he had to go to work soon. Shani rushed down the bed, then did her morning activities.

...◦○⭕○◦...

Shani seemed to dissolve with a laptop screen on the desk. And just before the afternoon break, Malvin just arrived at the office and kept coming to him. The man pulled the chair behind Shani and placed it right next to the woman's left.

"Where is the order today?" malvin asked seriously as if he was observing his subordinates.

"2 times as much as yesterday." Shani looks at Malvin with a smile.

And zap, the woman managed to make Malvin's chest rustle. Malvin becomes more enjoying his days as Shani now works with him. Although Shani blatantly rejects her feelings, Malvin still wants to love the woman.

"What are you planning tonight?" malvin asked after a few seconds on Shani's face.

Shani raises her shoulders. "Nothing. Why?"

Malvin leaned closer towards Shani, making her freeze in place. "I have a meeting with a client tonight. You're coming, yeah. So my secretary, "please smile seductively.

"Emmm..," muttered Shani inching a little distance from Malvin and threw his face towards his front.

Malvin raised both eyebrows waiting for an answer as Shani turned back to look at him.

"okay.... But where is it?" Shane suddenly hesitated to ask. "Not at the bar, are you?" guess it while glancing.

Malvin snorted a small laugh. "No, it's." He stroked Shani's left shoulder. "You're calm" he smiled again.

Shani thinks Malvin's behavior today is a little strange. The man quickly removed his hand from Shani's shoulder as the woman seemed to respond with discomfort. "Later to pick you up at 7" said Malvin breaking the awkwardness.

"okay."

...◦○⭕○◦...

Shani sits on the front porch chair of her house waiting for Malvin to arrive. Tonight the two of them had promised to meet with a client. And soon a white pajero stopped in the street in front of Shani's house.

Shane walked towards the car. But as he rushed over, Malvin suddenly got out of his car, inching open the left door for Shani to make the woman again feel a strange impression. Malvin smiles and lets Shani into the car.

Shani and Malvin drove with the pajero to a restaurant where clients wanted to be found there.

"Em.., HP I again error. I don't wear it just yet. If you have anything, email. My laptop is always on standby, really." Shani answered.

Malvin nodded once believing the woman's reason. And not long after they arrived at a luxurious restaurant. Shani knows if the menus there are fantastic prices, because Darren used to invite him to eat there.

Shani suddenly wondered, how rich are the clients who want to work with a small retail company owned by Malvin? Not that it's demeaning, but it feels a little strange if his client invites a meeting at an expensive restaurant. But Shani can not deny such a reality, who knows if Malvin will enlarge his business, he has very good potential.

As Shani rages on with her thoughts and daydreams, she just awakens after, "Shani, let's get out." Malvin opened the car door for her.

"Ah, yes." Shani looks over, then comes out of the pajero.

The 2 men walked together into the rest room. Shani only found out if his client had booked a VIP place. And by the time they got there, the client hadn't arrived.

Malvin looks fiddled with his phone. "People are still on the way" he exclaimed after a few seconds staring at the HP screen, then turned to Shani. "We wait, yeah."

"Yes." Yeah."

Shani and Malvin are waiting. About 5 minutes they were sitting on the sofa, Malvin again checked his HP. "What's? The client canceled the meeting?" malvin's chirps made Shani look at him for a moment.

"Catalin how? He's boking this place, right? It must be expensive, you know." Shani called to impress.

"Well, how do you keep going? He himself is void."

Shani sighed, then turned his face slowly from Malvin looking down at the table in front of him.

"You haven't had dinner yet, have you?" malvin asked Shani after a few seconds of looking at her face.

Shani looked back at Malvin. "Be careful, I was just drinking milk." The answer.

Malvin smiled as he stared briefly at Shani's stomach. "good. Then we can order food."

"Yes" Shani said with a smile.

They both ordered dinner. After a few minutes of waiting and chatting lightly, the dishes arrived. Shani and Malvin start enjoying it in silence.

"You want to try mine?" bargain Malvin thrusts a piece of meat steak towards Shani.

Shani pushes the fork and Malvin devours the piece of meat. "No, I've tried that before, really." Shani smiled and busied again on her own plate.

"Oh, huh?" Malvin grinned still staring at Shani. "Waw, have you been here before?"

Shani almost choked on her rice, but luckily it was just about. So he just has to cleared his throat slowly to secure his throat. "Yes.., never." Shani took a second pause. "It used to be the same with Darren." His answer was indifferent.

For whatever reason, Malvin's mouth gaped at hearing that, but he acted as if playing the tongue with his mouth open. Even in times like this, Shani also remembered her cousin. Malvin's mood suddenly went bad.
