Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"No need to pretend. Next time you don't have to do something like this. Just do your job and go home, no need to take care of me," Devan replied then stomped Anna's hand on the side of the table making the woman's body sway slightly.

"O-okay, I'm sorry for being rude to you," Anna stuttered a little.

"Ah yes, one more thing. Act like a subordinate to your superior. Don't cross the line. Even though you still work in this house, it doesn't mean you can act as you want. You understand?"

"O-okay, Devan."

"Call me sir," replied Devan, starting to taste the food in front of him. His tone was cold and even, very different from usual.

"O-okay." Anna obeyed, she was suddenly confused, why did Devan who was usually warm, suddenly turn cold like this?

But, isn't this a good thing? That means she can focus on her work and can return home early after all her work is done without waiting for hours to come home like usual days. This way it will be easier for her, what could she expect from him anyway?

Anna then took a few steps back, for some reason after hearing Devan's words, she felt something stir inside her.

"Ah, I also want to say that you shouldn't misunderstand all the things I did to you yesterday. I want to emphasize that our relationship is only limited to subordinates and superiors, nothing more," said Devan again without looking at the woman.

"Who was it that misunderstood?" Anna grumbled.

"What?"

"No, I mean, I won't misunderstand you, sir," replied Anna quickly.

"Good."

"One more thing, this has been bothering me for a long time. It happened five years ago..." Devan said hanging.

Though only a few words but it managed to make Anna stiffen.

"I will return the money you gave me as soon as possible, sir," said Anna suddenly bowing, as if she knew his mind.

Suddenly Devan's brow furrowed with one eyebrow raised, 'Has all this time she thought only about the change I gave her?' he thought. Even though Devan had intended to give the money to help Anna five years ago, as well as compensation because she lost her job because of himself.

Even though Anna initially refused, but in the end, she still took the money, Devan would still give it up, even though the amount was not much.

'So all this time this torturous feeling was the only one I felt alone?' he thought again and sighed tiredly. Whereas he had thought that Anna would also feel the same feelings as him, it turned out that he was just busy himself.

Not only that, Anna even married another man after doing 'sex' with him. Did that night mean nothing to her at all?

'Hmm, what do I expect from the mistakes I made? Making love with a woman who is drunk and then expecting more afterward is a very silly thing,' he thought realizing that.

It seemed, Devan wanted to laugh at himself.

Anyone can see, ever since he and Anna had met, she had acted as if nothing had ever happened between them. And that's what made Devan a little disappointed, coupled with the information he received yesterday. It seemed, he had to put an end to his one-sided feelings, as well as stop blaming himself for what happened back then.

Twice he had been disappointed with women. And this discouraged him. It turned out that wishing on women would only give him a very troublesome feeling.

If Anna behaved like this, then he would do the same. But before that, he had to say something to her.

While on the other hand, Anna who was in a bent position was now trembling to wait for the man's reply. Afraid that what he was worried about yesterday would now come true.

"Keep your head up," Devan said after a few seconds of silence.

"Forget about the money. I won't ask for it back. Think of it as payment for the night you gave me," said Devan lightly. He originally wanted to apologize to Anna suddenly dropped his intention when he saw that woman's response.

Instantly Anna froze in place, for some reason a feeling of disappointment flashed in her heart. It was a feeling she couldn't understand at all.

"W-well, thank you, sir," Anna stuttered.

"The cell phone and everything I gave you too, I don't want you to misunderstand all that stuff. Also, I called you last night wanting to say this but it seems you are very busy with other people," said Devan again slightly suppressing his voice on certain words.

"Ah, I'm sorry, sir," replied Anna, who suddenly regretted not picking up the man's call.

"No problem. So our affairs are done, right? Both the matter from five years ago and the one from the other day?"

Anna didn't know how to respond.

"Would you like to say something about this?" asked Devan again.

"N-nothing, sir," Anna replied and the answer further confirmed Devan's decision to bury his feelings.

While on the other hand, Anna suddenly became awkward and didn't know what to say and what to do right now. All of Devan's words for some reason made her heart cut a little, those questions, all touched the weakest part of her.

And she was stupid for only agreeing and following Devan's will, only because Anna was aware of the difference between the two of them, which was like the earth and the sky.

Did that mean that Anna could be said to be lucky? Because she not asking that man responsible, hearing all of Devan's words just now, she became very sure that doing so would make her a disgraceful woman.

"I don't want problems to arise in the future just because of what happened at that time," said Devan again.

"Okay, sir. I will not sue or hold you accountable for what happened that night. Let the past pass. You don't have to worry," replied Anna.

Disappointed. Devan is very disappointed to hear Anna's sentence. And it managed to make his appetite disappear.

"I'm full. Thank you for the food," said Devan and rose from his position.

After Devan's leave, Anna froze on the spot. She had prepared herself for a day like this, and it turned out to be very different from what she had imagined.

Suddenly her knees were so weak that she couldn't support herself anymore. Even though she said she wouldn't hold him accountable and would forget what happened five years ago, it didn't mean that Anna didn't have the slightest hope in Devan, even though she knew it was impossible.

She took a deep breath then exhaled slowly, Anna got back up after organizing her feelings.
