Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 49 - 49. Unfulfilled Wish (2)

"What do you think?" asked Devan breaking Anna's thoughts.

The woman shook her head and then resumed eating.

After lunch, both Devan and Anna both left the restaurant.

"You want to visit somewhere?" The man asked suddenly breaking the silence in the car.

Anna responded again with a shake of her head. "Actually where do you want to take me, sir?" she asked.

"How many times do I have to repeat this, Anna. Stop being so formal with me."

Hearing Devan's words, Anna took a deep breath, "Okay, don't blame me if..."

"I won't," Devan cut in as if he knew what the girl was going to say next.

Anna was silent for a moment since the man had been interrupting her words, "You asked for it, I don't want to be considered rude because..."

"I won't. Be comfortable, Anna," the man interrupted again.

Anna rolled her eyes, "Stop interrupting my words."

Devan chuckled at the woman's protest.

"Now tell me, where do you want to take me?" Anna asked bluntly, acting as usual, as if he wasn't a boss she should treat with courtesy.

"I don't know," Devan replied simply.

"Stop messing around Devan. It's work hours, I should go back and finish my work, it's not fair if all my friends are busy while I'm here, wandering around without a clear direction," said Anna at length.

"What? Say it again?"

"What?"

"Call me with my name again."

"Huh? I didn't say your name."

"I heard it, Anna. Try again."

"I want to go back to the office," Anna replied with her arms crossed. She no longer cared about her current attitude.

"Repeat or I'll drop you off here," Devan threatened.

"Alright, just drop me. It's better, so I can get back to work."

Devan was silent, he never expected that Anna would give such an answer.

"Hmm, before Mrs. Lidya, I was your boss Anna. You should have listened to what I said."

"You're the one who asked me to be as comfortable as possible, after all, what boss would take his employees away during work hours?" replied Anna not wanting to lose.

"I just wanted to take you out for a bit. Didn't you hear that starting today you are no longer working in that office? That means you're free today, Anna," Devan explained in one breath.

"Huh whatever, as long as my salary is not deducted."

Devan chuckled at Anna's response. Several years have passed, it turns out that the girl is still the same as before, hasn't changed a bit. What is in her head is only work, work and work.

"Don't worry about that," Devan replied.

Anna didn't respond anymore, the girl leaned her head casually against the car window while observing the passing vehicles.

"Use this," Devan said suddenly handing Anna a small pillow.

Turning to the source of the voice, Anna didn't immediately accept the soft object and just looked at it alternately with Devan with a confused look.

"Your head will hurt if you lean like that."

"No, thanks," said Anna.

Hearing the girl's refusal, Devan sighed harshly.

After that there was only silence, no more talking between the two, they were busy with their thoughts.

It was just that at this moment, the two of them had the same thought. Both remember what happened five years ago. An unexpected meeting and ended up in bed.

Anna realized that what happened that night was not Devan's fault or her fault, but both of them' fault. She will not sue Devan or anyone else for what happened that night. Nor will she hold him accountable, because she knows the difference between her and Devan?

Anna is very aware that she will never match the man who is currently sitting next to her, Devan has everything while she? Nothing to be proud of.

After all, what would people say if she suddenly held the man accountably, wouldn't that embarrass herself? Just imagining it, Anna didn't have the courage.

With various considerations, Anna decided to take care of Dave on her own and would keep her identity a secret from Devan, who is her son's biological father.

Yes, it was her decision. Only for their common good.

Because she was busy with her thoughts, Anna did not realize that the car she was traveling in was already in the basement of a building.

"We're here," said Devan right after opening the car door for Anna.

Like a dazed person, the woman looked around with an innocent expression that indicated that she was confused.

"Where is this?"

"Come on," Devan said, tugging at the woman's arm carefully.

Anna complied.

It turned out that right now, they were in the biggest shopping center in City J.

"What are we doing here?"

Hearing the question of the woman next to him, Devan only glanced at her then smiled.

"Buying your work equipment," he replied a few seconds later.

"B-but I don't have any money."

"Don't think about it."

Walking past several shops selling branded goods, Devan pulled Anna into one of them.

Confused? Of course, Anna was confused. Devan says that they will buy supplies for her to work tomorrow, but why are they now walking into a clothing store that looks so luxurious and expensive? And everything is only dominated by women's clothing. Why would they enter a place like this? This has absolutely nothing to do with her job.

"I'll just wait outside," said Anna stopping her steps right in front of the shop entrance.

Devan turned back with an eyebrow raised.

"What?" Anna preceded the man.

"We're here to buy clothes that you will use for work Anna," Devan replied.

"Come in, I don't accept rejection," he added, pulling her by the arm into the shop.

"Ha?"

"Welcome Mr. Devan," suddenly a man approached the two of them, he was the manager of the shop.

Devan just nodded in response.

While on the other hand, Anna frowned in confusion then smiled faintly, seeing the store employee recognize Devan made her guess that the man had brought many women to this shop.

Anna doesn't know that the shopping center she is currently in is one mine of the D.A Group. which is led by Devan, the man she is with.

"Choose clothes that suit her," said Devan, glancing at Anna.

The man nodded, "Okay, please come with me, Miss," he said then invited, Anna.

Receiving such treatment, Anna became even more confused. Even so, she still followed where the shop employee would take her, while Devan, the man sat waiting on the sofa that had been provided in the middle of the room.

A few minutes had passed, and Anna kept refusing every time the manager picked her out, making the man a little difficult.

"Is there something you like? Just tell me, I'll get it for you," said the man.

"Nothing," replied Anna curtly.

"Okay, let's go somewhere else," Devan suddenly appeared.
