Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 147 - 147. Pretend Not To Know (3)

While working at home, she often eats instant noodles when hungry to save time when she has a lot of work to do.

Sitting on the chair in front of the pantry, Anna ate the food in front of her as quickly as possible.

Cough…

Cough…

Anna choked when her hearing senses heard someone coming and was now pressing the door lock button.

She immediately ran and hid to the previous place, under the pantry while carrying a bowl that was still hot. Even though she had only taken three spoons, and the owner of the house had arrived.

While on the other hand, Devan who had just returned is now paying attention to his surroundings. He was very sure that Anna had not left because he had changed his house password when he came out earlier.

And also, actually, he didn't take the call from anyone earlier, he just pretended to raise his voice so that Anna could hear it and she could stretch her muscles when he wasn't around.

Placing his groceries on the table, Devan then walked into the kitchen, saw the reduced bread on the plate, a faint smile appeared on his lips. His eyes then glanced down the pantry, and it turned out that the woman was still there.

Devan took a deep breath.

.

.

It's already eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Devan looks busy in his room, He didn't know even though it's a holiday, but the man is still working.

Even though he was very tired and wanted to rest, but without working for a day, he felt that something was missing.

He checked his schedule for the next three days and made a few changes.

Devan just stopped after he felt his stomach needed to be filled, he immediately stopped his activities and headed to the kitchen.

It turned out that Anna was still there not moving a bit, the man was starting to feel uncomfortable. As if still unaware of the presence of someone under the pantry, Devan moved freely in the kitchen, preparing his lunch. Yes, he has always preferred to cook his food when he has free time.

Until an hour had passed, all kinds of lunch menus were ready, the portions were too large for a person living alone.

After setting the food menu on the table, Devan returned to the kitchen. This time he was going to pull her out, no matter what.

While on the other hand, both of Anna's calves had been cramping since earlier, even now she was biting her lips so as not to make the slightest sound due to the intense pain.

"Go out!"

Devan's voice suddenly sounded, making her flinch in surprise. 'W-what do you mean?'

"Go out!"

Anna shook her head, there was no way that the man could find her whereabouts.

"Get out or am I forcing you out?"

Again, Devan's voice was heard. Even so, Anna didn't move a bit let alone move from her position, in her heart, she confirmed that the man might be talking to someone else.

"ANNA, get out now!"

Hearing her name being called, her body suddenly stiffened.

"I don't like repeating my words, Anna. Get out or I'll drag you out of there."

Already, Anna looked away at Devan's voice which seemed to be aimed at her. If it's like this, even hiding is useless.

"O-okay," she squeaked then slowly moved.

"AWWW..." the voice she had been holding back for a long time now escaped when she straightened her legs, shifted her body slightly, slowly she looked up and raised her gaze, looking at Devan with teary eyes.

"I-I'm sorry," Anna said in a very small voice.

Devan just stared at the woman down there, "Stand up."

Anna shook her head. Her legs were still cramping and felt very stiff. "My legs..."

Hearing Anna's words, Devan snorted, then swiftly lifted the woman's body, carried her in his arms, walked up the stairs to his room.

Anna who received this kind of treatment could only surrender, as someone who entered someone else's house secretly and was found out, she felt as if her right to protest or object had now been lost.

Devan put Anna's body slowly on his bed, then walked to the side of the window, pulled the curtain so that the lighting in the room was a little brighter than before, finished doing that, he turned back to Anna and sat on the edge of the bed.

Without saying a word, he immediately grabbed the woman's calf and massaged it gently.

"W-what are you doing?" Anna stuttered looking like she wanted to pull her leg but was restrained by Devan.

"Shut up, idiot!"

For a moment Anna was silent in her position, and only saw Devan massaging her calves, without realizing it, a red blush had spread on both cheeks.

Until a few minutes passed, the feeling of pain in her calf began to lessen. There was no conversation between the two, just silence. While on the other hand, Anna had prepared all kinds of answers if the man asked her because she was very sure that after this, Devan would attack her with many questions about her being in this house.

"Still sick?" Asked Devan suddenly without taking his eyes off Anna's legs.

"I-it's better," Anna stuttered as she nodded faintly.

Hearing this, Devan took his hand away from Anna, then got up from his position. "Stay there," he said and walked out of the room.

Anna took a deep breath. She then took off her bag and took her cell phone out of there, then put it on the nightstand.

She intended to contact Naila but felt anxious if Brian's name reappeared on her cellphone screen. There is only one Sim card, and there are Naila's and Brian's numbers. She could not immediately throw the sim card away because she had not yet obtained the address of Naila and her son's whereabouts.

Feeling doubtful, Anna struggled with her thoughts until the bedroom door opened again, revealing Devan there with one hand holding a tray of food.

Her eyes then followed the man putting the food he brought on the nightstand.

"Eat!" he said briefly.

Anna who heard that gaped like a fool.

Seeing the response of the woman in front of him, Devan sighed harshly and sat right next to Anna, taking the food he brought.

"Open your mouth," Devan pleaded, pointing the spoon to Anna's mouth.

"I-I..."

"Don't refuse. I asked you to eat by yourself but you didn't," Devan interrupted immediately, not giving Anna no room at all to speak.

"S-sorry..." Anna muttered then opened her mouth, she felt a little awkward.

Devan did not respond and just continued to feed Anna slowly.

Devan's treatment made Anna feel confused with herself. For a moment she felt comfortable and safe around him. Since then, her cheeks have been blushing without realizing it, her eyes that initially only looked at the food in Devan's hands were now staring intently at the man's face.

Seeing every curve of his face at such a close distance.
