Chapter 50 - 50. Devan's Attitude
"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 and was now standing right next to Anna.
"No," said Anna immediately.
Devan who heard the woman's answer immediately looked around, looking for clothes that fit Anna.
"How about this," said Devan as he grabbed a knee-length dress with open shoulders.
"What exactly did you want to do by bringing me here?"
"Buying clothes for you to wear to work tomorrow," Devan replied.
"In clothes like that?" Anna sighed harshly since earlier Devan had only said the same thing.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you want me to work for you or sell me on the black market?"
"I'm just janitor, Devan, and everything here has nothing to do with my job. We'd better go home."
"No. You have to pick a few. Your workplace is very different from the head office," Devan replied immediately.
While the male manager had been standing still didn't dare interrupt the two of them, of course, he could also hear everything Anna and Devan were saying. Now and then he glanced at her with an appreciative look, because from the way she spoke to Devan, anyone could guess that their relationship seemed to be more than just employees and superiors.
"Hah, it's up to you," Anna said.
Devan chuckled again, "I want some of the best clothes in this shop," he said to a man who was almost his height.
"Okay, sir. Please wait a moment," said the manager.
Devan nodded then pulled Anna's hand towards the sofa.
Since earlier, to be honest, Anna has been very curious about her new place of work. Because all the things Devan did to her today seemed absurd. But for the sake of money, as long as it is lawful she will do it, for herself and also for the sake of Dave 'her son'.
"Wait here a moment," said Devan suddenly rose from his position.
Anna just nodded without answering at all.
Waiting for a few minutes, Devan and the man who was considered a shop employee by Anna appeared with a female employee, each in their hands were several shopping bags.
They then left the shop. Again, Anna felt very uncomfortable. At this time she became the center of attention, even some people stared at her openly, the sharp gaze that seemed disdainful and disgusted made her gaze down, only seeing the toe of her shoes which had a slightly faded color.
And it also made her more aware of the difference between herself and the man who was walking one step in front of her. Let alone having a relationship with Devan, only walking beside him felt very inappropriate.
Devan suddenly stopped his steps and managed to make Anna hit his back from behind.
"Why did it suddenly stop?" Anna asked, rubbing her forehead.
"I should be the one asking you, why are you walking behind me? You're not my bodyguard or servant, Anna," Devan then grabbed the woman's hand and pulled it so that it was level with him, then resumed the steps.
"O-okay, I don't do it anymore. But let go of my hand," replied Anna immediately.
Devan ignored the woman's request and continued to enter the elevator to the top floor.
Anna could only obey and continue to follow where the man would take her.
"You wait here a moment," Devan said to Anna. The woman only responded with a nod.
Only a few minutes later, the man returned with a neatly wrapped box in his hand.
Anna who saw this didn't ask even though she was very curious.
.
.
"This is for you," Devan said handing the box he was carrying. They are now in the car.
"What's this?"
"The address where you work tomorrow," replied Devan starting his car engine.
"Huh?" Anna's brow furrowed clearly.
"If you're curious, just open it," said Devan again when he turned and found the girl was silent.
Slowly but surely, Anna opened the box.
"Handphone?" asked Anna which was more like a statement.
"For you," said Dean.
"Huh?"
"A gift from me."
"Huh?"
"I've sent the address where you work there, also if you need anything, please contact me immediately," said Devan again.
As if at a loss for words, Anna didn't know how to respond.
"I refuse," Anna said.
"I won't let you refuse," replied Devan.
"Think of it as your work phone," Devan added.
Anna wanted to speak but was again preceded by the man.
"I don't want to hear rejections and the like from you, Anna. How hard is it to accept all that?"
"If you don't want to take it, you either throw it away or whatever," he added, the man's tone slightly different now.
Hearing Devan's repeated words made Anna take a shaky breath. "And you too, stop wasting money on unimportant things like this," replied Anna.
Devan ignored Anna's words and just focused on the steering wheel. Right now, they were on their way back to the office.

"Anna, where have you been?" Mino asked when he saw the woman had just entered the back door of the building.
"Ah, I-I had a little business earlier," the girl stuttered.
"Really? Have you asked Mr. Devan's permission?" Mino asked again approaching the woman.
Anna nodded in agreement.
"Good, have you had lunch?"
"Yes," answered Anna shortly.
"Okay, so where do you want to go now?"
"Huh? Of course back to work, Mino. What else?" replied Anna. During the trip earlier, she had asked Devan so she could finish her work today. Although the man initially objected a little but in the end agreed to Anna's wish. The reason why Devan wasn't with Anna at this time was when they were just about to enter the baseman of the D.A Group building, the man suddenly received a call and asked Anna to come in first.
Hearing Anna's answer, Mino laughed crisply. "Alright, alright. Then hurry up and change your uniform, I'll be waiting," said Mino.
"Thank you," replied Anna, nodding.
...
It was already 18.00, Anna was currently walking along the side of the road to the bus terminal where she used to ride.
But her pace suddenly slowed when the black Ferrari suddenly pulled over and stopped right by her. Just looking at it, Anna could already guess who the owner of the car was.
"Come on." As the car window opened, Devan's voice was heard.
"No, thank you. I can take the bus," Anna replied walking.
Devan did not give up and followed the girl continuously by slowing down the car. And it managed to bring her back into the center of attention. She didn't like him at all. Even so, she continued on her way.
Luckily the bus had arrived, Anna quickened her pace and entered the bus without saying a word there was Devan, making the man freeze on the spot with a smirk plastered on her lips.
