Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 169 - 169. Together

"Where do you want to take me?" asked Anna who could not contain her curiosity.

"You'll find out later," Devan replied, and with that, the car started, not toward the gate, but down the street that led to the white building's backyard.

Along the way, the twinkling of decorative lights seemed to fill the trees that lined the road, Anna was stunned by the sight.

The car moved for a few minutes then stopped right in front of a not-so-big one-story house. It is the house where Lukman, Deden, and Hendra live.

Anna, who saw this, frowned, apparently there was another building in Devan's house yard.

"Come on!" said Devan right after Hendra opened the door for them.

Anna got out of the car, her eyes immediately fell on the figure of a handsome man who was standing in front of the barbecue grill, not far from there were several chairs and a small table, as well as a bonfire that wasn't too big.

Devan who saw Lukman not wearing his leather mask just sighed roughly. This was also the first time for him to see the man outside with his true appearance.

"W-what is this?" stuttering Anna stopped her steps for a moment then looked around her.

"You're hungry, aren't you?" he asked.

"Please sir, Miss," said Hendra, inviting them to enter the yard.

Anna nodded, "A-alright," she said then resumed her steps, tightening her hand on Devan's sleeve making the man immediately turn to her. Feeling a little hesitant, because this was the first time she saw a new face around Devan.

"There's no need to be afraid," said Devan when he saw Anna's gaze focused on Max who was currently busy with the grill in front of him as if he hadn't noticed their presence.

"I'm not afraid," Anna replied that second.

"Who is he? Is he also one of your workers here? like Mr. Hendra, Lukman, and Mr. Deden?" asked Anna.

Hearing Anna's question, Devan smiled faintly, "That's right. He's one of my workers here," he replied.

"Is that true?"

"Um," Devan replied, nodding in agreement.

"Why have I never seen him?" she asked.

"Now you've seen it," Devan replied, as Anna suddenly stopped walking again.

Devan chuckled, rubbing the woman's head, "I'm just kidding, don't look at me like that," Devan replied.

At first, glance, when viewed from afar, Devan and Anna look like a father and son. It's all because of their very different body postures. Devan is tall and stocky, while Anna is petite and short. But when you hear the way they talk and see the interaction between the two, it looks very sweet and will make anyone smile to themselves.

For Hendra, the togetherness of Mr. Devan and Miss Anna is so adorable. The cold and cruel man she had known all along instantly melted and turned into a cute rabbit in front of the woman.

While Max, who was still busy with the grill in front of him, faintly heard someone's voice. He immediately turned his head and when he found Mr. Devan and Miss Anna, he immediately put the spatula in his hand and approached.

"Good evening and welcome Mr. Devan and Miss Anna," said Max.

Anna who heard her name called reflex frowned, "You know my name?" she asked.

Max who heard Anna's question for a moment was frozen in place, "Ah yes Miss. Hendra often tells about you who always treat him very well," Max stuttered quickly looking for a reasonable excuse. Sometimes he forgot that he wasn't wearing his leather mask at the moment.

"Is that true?" Anna narrowed her eyes and turned to Hendra who was lowering his gaze.

"Never mind, honey. Don't think anything of it. So what if he knows your name?" Said Devan embracing Anna's shoulder, wanting to show his men not to look face in front of Anna, especially now that Max is showing his real face which he refuses to admit is handsome.

Hearing Devan's words, Anna frowned. "I am nothing to you. Don't call me that," Anna replied as she took Devan's hand off her shoulder then walked past Max and sat in a chair very close to the bonfire.

Devan chuckled, then followed Anna.

"Wear this," said Devan as he spread the blanket he had brought earlier and covered the woman's lower body.

Anna froze in place, but only for a few seconds. "Thank you," she said, blushing again. Previously, Anna was a little confused and curious when she saw Devan carrying a blanket.

Turns out it was for her.

"I don't want you to get cold," said Devan, sitting in the chair right next to Anna.

As if at a loss for words, Anna didn't know how to respond. Finally, the woman just stayed in place while raising the blanket that covered her thighs and toes.

"Do Hendra and the others live in this house?" Anna asked after a few minutes of silence.

Devan nodded in approval.

Seeing the man's response, Anna understood. No wonder if she saw Deden, Lukman, and Hendra at that man's house if he doesn't have something to do. It turns out they do have their residence in the backyard.

While on the other hand, Max walked closer. "Please sir, Miss," he said as he placed the roast beef and grilled sausage on the small table in front of the two of them.

Immediately a delicious aroma spreads, wafting into everyone's senses of smell.

"Thank you," said Anna.

"You're welcome, Miss. Don't be shy. Please enjoy," Max replied then said goodbye, then went back to grilling new meat, he cut some of the meat into small pieces and then put it on the grill after arranging it using a skewer.

"Did you ask them to provide all this?" asked Anna turning to Devan.

"You don't like it?" instead of answering, Devan even asked back.

"No, it's not like that. I'm just curious because since earlier you've just been near me and not doing anything," answered Anna.

Hearing that, Devan smiled. "As long as you like it, then that's enough. You don't need to know anything else," said Devan.

Anna blushed again without realizing it. Realizing her thoughts and feelings were acting up again, she shook her head and tried to make up her mind.. That the man she was with right now belonged to another woman.
