The Secretaries
CHAPTER 50

The atmosphere was suddenly quiet after Shani said the name Darren in front of Malvin. 2 people were still there, sitting side by side while enjoying a meal served by the restaurant. Tonight is a great opportunity for Malvin to get close to Shani, so he won't waste it.

"You really have feelings for Darren?" guess Malvin while cutting his meat steak reluctantly looked at Shani.

Inner Shani gasped, but he was very good at covering it. He turned to Malvin and followed the man who also looked at him. "That was. And now I can't like him." Answer smiled.

Shani gets busy again with her food, but Malvin is still glued to her face. "I know your purpose well. But it could be that people misunderstand and think you're a hypocrite" Malvin chirps make Shani turn back to him after being stunned for a few seconds. They stared at each other expressionlessly.

"Say you still like Darren. You can be free to like or hate anyone. There is no limit to all of this. Anyone, must have someone he likes, and he hates."

Shani's tongue was silent at once.

"But, Shani." Malvin took a pause. "The person you like is currently married. The only way to get around that is not to immediately get rid of your feelings to him, it will be difficult. But look for new people, people you can like and slowly will help you forget Darren."

"Why are you that enthusiastic? I just want to be alone. Without Darren, and without anyone it could change my feelings for him" Shani said.

"You can't." Malvin called out firmly.

"I can!!!" And Shani came back out loud. His eyes began to glaze over with his chest tight as Malvin tried to make him despair. "I can get through this."

"If you keep this up, Darren's household could be destroyed. Is that what you want?" Malvin kept pressing. Somehow the chatter that should have brought her closer to the woman turned into judgmental speech.

"No. I don't want that to happen." Shani was helpless.

"Keep waiting especially? You also need a man who can take care of you and your child." Malvin shuffled holding both arms over Shani. He looked at her so closely. "I'm ready to be that guy, Sha. Less than me in your eyes?"

"Stop forcing me." Shani answered looking fed up at Malvin's face.

"Am I not good for you? I've tried my hardest, and you still can't take me?"

Shani blinked making her tears drip down her cheeks. "So everything you do is just for me?" tanyanya looked down reluctantly to look at Malvin. Finding the man's response silent, Shani looked back at him.

"No. All this I'm doing because I really like you." Answer Malvin.

Shane tried to be patient. He broke Malvin's handrails from both arms. Shani wiped away the tears and then smiled. "I was very grateful to you before. Because of your help, I have a change of job, so I have an initial plan. Even if it's still not sure."

"I'm sorry, but I can't take your feelings. I don't care if even a lifetime will suffer for myself because the man I love is the same as the other."

"My focus right now is my content, Vin. I was traumatized by men. I don't want a special relationship anymore. And my decision is absolute, I'm going to take care of all this by myself."

Malvin. He knows that Shani is too selfish to close her heart to his feelings. But love cannot be forced. If this continues, then he is selfish. Malvin can't put pressure on Shani, she's suffered enough.

Shani did not respond. He turned his face away from Malvin. "I want to go to the toilet first" he said after a few seconds of silence.

Malvin gripped his head visibly riled after Shani's departure. His gaze looked angry. Everything was messed up and he was cursing himself.

Malvin also grabbed a glass of red drink that he ordered from his front desk. The man took a sip until he was not left. After that, Malvin dropped his body onto the back of the sofa while gazing at his forehead.

Meanwhile on the other hand, Shani washes her hands into the sink of the resto toilet. After that he looked at himself in the mirror right in front of him. Shani's eyes glazed over considering how evil he had rejected Malvin.

Shane knows he doesn't deserve to do that. But Darren, the man continues to dominate his mind incising a pain that is very disappointing. But foolishly Shani, she still loves the man and finds it hard to forget him.

Shani takes a deep breath, then throws it away briefly through the mouth. He thins his self-energizing lips with an optimistic look. Shani believes if this is the right choice, keeping Malvin away from the victim of his feelings is the right decision.

Shani walks away from the toilet back to the VIP room where Malvin is still waiting for her. But when he opened the door of the room, Malvin was seen holding his chest like he was holding back pain. "Why you?" shani asked as she approached Malvin.

"The vin? You sick?" Shani also held Malvin's left arm because the man did not answer. But, "You're hot? You're not pa-pa, are you? Vin? Answer, dong." Shani suddenly panicked.

"Please go now. I'm not pa-pa" said Malvin, sounding claustrophobic.

"Huh? What's pa-pa? Time me-"

"Go!" sidelines Malvin firmly while looking into Shani's eyes make the woman stunned. "I'm not strong anymore, so please leave now."

"What do you mean?" Shani confusion.

"I don't know why. But I think the drink was given something," explained Malvin pointed to the glass glass of his empty drink.

"Please go now, I don't want anything to happen that we don't want to do" Malvin asked Shani as he pushed slowly, telling her to move out.

Shani still does not know what Malvin feels. But it seemed, the man was being sedated by some kind of stimulant drug. "Yes, I'm leaving." Rather than something that happened, Shani also obeyed Malvin's letter.

Shani hurried to leave the place. But as he tried to open the door of his room, it was locked. Someone locked it from the outside.
