Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 43 - 43. Meet Her

Walking hand in hand with slow steps, Mino and Anna occasionally glanced around, afraid that there were still people on the floor they were on.

The reason is, the cleaners on duty on the fifth floor have certain hours to be able to enter that floor and certainly not now. If one of them was found hanging around on the fifth floor outside the set hours, then there would only be one end, being fired for breaking the rules.

"Anna..." Mino called hanging, his steps suddenly slowed down.

"What is it?" Anna turned.

"Ah, n-no. Let's continue," replied Mino, looking a little hesitant.

Anna who managed to catch Mino's change of expression sighed, "I can do it myself. You can wait for me downstairs. I won't be long, after checking it I will follow you soon," she said.

"Are you all right if I stay?" he asked in a slightly low voice.

Anna just nodded, "Accompanying me all the way here is more than enough. So it's okay. I'm just a moment," Anna replied.

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in front of the elevator on the ground floor."

"Um," Anna nodded.

And after that, they separated, Mino returned to the ground floor, and Anna who was continuing her steps towards the room she cleaned this morning.

Entering a room, Clarissa's desk came into view, it was empty there. Immediately a sigh of relief escaped her lips. She walked towards the room with her heart beating faster as she walked.

Approaching the door, Anna peered through the keyhole. Trying to find the whereabouts of her bag in the room.

He intended to make sure her bag was in the room, if it was still there, she would come early tomorrow so she could pick it up. Or maybe she'd ask Clarissa in the morning. Because at this time, she was very sure that the door to the room was locked.

Trying to do various positions in front of the door, her eyes found an object on the sofa.

"There."

Her bag was still on the sofa, not moving at all. Anna then brought her eyes closer to confirm what she had just seen, even her hand was holding the doorknob to keep her balance.

Suddenly the door was pushed in, making Anna almost fall.

"Eh? Unlocked?" her monologue then looked around. After that, she then peeked around the room slowly.

Empty, and it managed to make the corners of her lips lift, smiling happily. At this rate, she could retrieve her bag today without any trouble.

She entered the room slowly.

"Nice bag."

Just before her hand touched the black object, a voice suddenly rang out, instantly her body stiffened. All thoughts of her dismissal immediately filled her mind.

With her head down, Anna turned her body to the voice came from. Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She firmly believed that the man she had spoken to just now was the leader of this company because who else would be in this room apart from that man?

"I-I'm sorry," said Anna bowing her head.

"I-I just wanted to pick up the bag I left behind, sir," she added.

"I don't mean anything."

Silence, there was no sound, made Anna frown, she didn't dare to raise her head one bit. Still in a standing position with her head down.

"Are you talking to the wall?"

"Huh?" Immediately Anna raised her gaze slightly and looked for the owner of the voice.

"Ah, I'm sorry, sir," said Anna again after seeing half of the man's body.

"Let me take my bag, sir," said Anna after getting no response from the man. From his voice, she could tell that the leader of this company was still very young and not as old as she had imagined.

"Okay, then clear my desk first," said the man again.

"W-well, according to your request, sir," replied Anna immediately walking towards the work desk not far from her with her hands still shaking.

But her steps suddenly stopped, a name written on the placard on the table made her body stiffen again, 'Devan Atmadja.' How could she not have noticed that name when she cleaned the room this morning?

Anna shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of whatever was on her mind. 'There's no way the man at that time was…. Ah no, no,' Anna monologued in her mind.

'Maybe his first name just happens to be the same.'

With a movement that is neither fast nor slow, Anna tidied the table that looked very messy.

During that time, there was no sound in the room. There was silence, only the occasional sound of a few sheets of paper could be heard.

"Just leave this here," Devan suddenly approached and managed to make Anna startle and almost hit the man in the face with the paper if he didn't turn around and take a few steps back.

"I-I'm sorry, sir," Anna stammered.

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, sir," she repeated, bowing apologetically.

"Em, it's okay. You can continue your work," replied Devan who was still in a position with his back to Anna. A moment ago, he had made up his mind to meet the woman, exposed himself, and looked directly into Anna's eyes, only for some reason when he was close to Anna, his guts suddenly shrunk. He suddenly became reluctant to do that.

Whereas he had been waiting for a moment like this to happen.

"Once again, I apologize, sir," said Anna again and then resumed her work. Her hands were shaking violently. She almost hurt the man who was the highest leader in the company she worked for.

With feelings that are very difficult to explain, Anna finally finished tidying the table.

"It's done, sir."

Devan didn't respond, making Anna feel awkward again.

"May I excuse myself now?" Anna asked again because she couldn't stand the atmosphere in the room anymore. Since earlier, it was as if she was only talking to herself, whereas she was not alone in the room.

"How long have you been working here?" Devan's deep voice was heard again.

"Please forgive me, sir. I didn't do it on purpose. Forgive me. I still want to work here," said Anna giving an inappropriate answer. Hearing the man's words made her very worried that her carelessness a moment ago would threaten her job.

"Is that an appropriate answer to the question I asked you? I'm sure your ears are still functioning properly."

"W-what?"

"Ah, sorry. This is my first day working here, sir," replied Anna still with her head lowered.

"The first day?" Devan muttered but the woman could still hear.

"R-right, sir."

"Then why is your bag in my room?"

"Th-that, I forgot about it, sir. This morning Mrs. Clarissa asked me to clean this room."

"Clarissa?"

"That's right, sir."

"Okay, you can go now," said Devan.

"Thank you, sir," Anna replied slowly and then left the room with a racing heart.
