Mia arrived at her house with an erratic feeling. How could? No. gabe. That's not the right question. But is Devan really an arka? Why had I never thought before? Although it was a little suspicious, but Mia did not really think that Arka was Devan, CEO of Astra Group.
Mia remembers when Arka first helped her with her work, and then her next help. It should have been then that he realized that Arka was not an indiscriminate person. No, Mia should have realized it when she found out the facts about this ring. The ring still on his thumb.
Does Devan remember him? No. gabe. Does Devan remember he was once an Ark? It felt impossible, because when he was acquainted Devan did not look to know him at all.
God, how's he gonna work? How do you behave like there is nothing? Thinking of everything made his brain tired, and his head seemed like it was about to break. Mia fell asleep while the sun was high.

*POV*Devan*
Mia looked very surprised when she saw me. Does he recognize me as a visitor who is always there in every workplace or..? I don't know, obviously I'm sure that Mia came home fast because of me. Somehow Aki could feel it.
I really want to meet him right now. But, couldn't it be if a superior who had even met once met his secretary at home because he had come home early? It doesn't feel right, let alone I have an assistant.
I should have asked him for a direct acquaintance when I first saw him. Instead of acting as a secret fan or rather a stalker who comes to every place where he works. Maybe my relationship with him has now entered a more serious stage than now which is nothing.
I don't know why I used to be so unconfident to just ask her out. I've been acting stupidly looking for all the information about him like a CEO in a fictional story. I dream of such a romantic love story.
"Leo, ask about Mia's situation and make sure that Mia gets to work tomorrow!" After saying that I immediately turned off my phone without waiting for an answer.
Not polite? Let it go, I'm the boss.

The loud ringing of the cell phone woke Mia up.
"Yes?"
"Are you okay, Mia?"
"Hmmm, I'm good."
"Your voice is weird, is it okay?"
"I'm sleeping, too,"
"Oh so. You're coming in tomorrow, right?"
"Hmmm, just calm down."
"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow Mia. Good nite!"
Tut's..
"What'sthis? is he paying attention?"
Mia looked at the clock on her phone.
"Huh? I slept that long!"
Mia gets up and peegi goes to the bathroom to clean her face and change her clothes. Although he wanted to continue his sleep, but he did not want his skin damaged because of sleeping with makeup at night.

Devan arrives in his room before Leo. She was really excited to meet Mia again. If he used to call Celina who was so obsessed with Leo, it turns out that she herself first felt it.
The door of the room was opened by someone. Devan looked impatiently at the door, wanting to see who was coming, and sure enough the person he was waiting for entered and closed the door from inside. He hasn't realized that there's a Devan there.
"You came in the morning!"
Mia rose so surprised to hear Devan's greeting.
"Mr Devan, you're even earlier than me." Mia replied calmly after neutralizing her shock.
He had already decided to act ordinary in front of Devan. Of course, what does he have to do? It is impossible if he said he had dated the spirit of his boss. He will be considered insane.
"How are you doing?"
Mia frowned, then she remembered yesterday asking permission to go home early.
"I'm fine, sir. I'm sorry I just came home yesterday leaving my responsibilities." Mia apologized.
"It's okay. If it hurts, it must be rest." Devan smiled, the same smile as Arka. The difference feels more real.
Mia simply replied with a nod, then turned on her computer.
"You don't recognize me?" devan asked suddenly.
That question could make Mia freeze. Whatdoes thatmean?
"I've often seen you work in restaurants and cafes if I don't remember wrong." Devan looked at the confusion on Mia's face.
Mia looked at Devan, remembering.
"Are you a customer who always asks me to serve you?"
"Yes, it's me."
Mia nodded.
"Why?"
"What?"
"Why do you always call me when you visit?"
"That's because of me..."
Ceklek, the door is open. Enter Leo with his flat face.
"Dev, I told you we were going together. Why do you go first? The doctor said that it was still dangerous for you to drive first. There could be symptoms of a coma." Leo nagged Devan without a care there was Mia.
Hearing that Leo nodded then sat down in his chair.
"Again, Mia!" Leo greeted as usual.
"August, Leo!" Mia replied as usual.
There was a sense of tightness when he saw Leo and Mia greeting each other familiarly like that. I'll say it when the time is right, Devan.

Lunch time has arrived, Leo and Devan stand to fill his belly. While Mia still faithfully stared at her monitor.
"We have lunch first, Mia." exclaimed Leo.
"okay!"
"Aren't you eating Mia?"
Mia raised her face again.
"He always eats when the break is almost over." Leo replied representing Mia.
"I know. I just wanted to take lunch together, so we could be more familiar."
Leo frowned "Where does he know?" but the question was stuck in his head.
"How's Mia? we had lunch together, so we could be more comfortable working."
Mia glanced at Leo for a moment to ask for help, but it seemed that the man was insensitive.
"All right, I'll turn this off first." I don't want him to say it.
"Okay, we're waiting outside."
Mia nodded, then exhaled a rough breath as the two of them had already come out.
"How can the real one be more aggressive." Mia shook her head inexhaustibly.

They chose to eat in the office cafeteria because they were both, precisely Devan handed the choice of place to Mia.
The confused Mia immediately chose the canteen only, and it seemed like the canteen was a bad choice. Because ever since the three of them entered, many employees were whispering to each other and staring at Mia not like it. Although from the beginning there were many who did not like Mia. That was the reason why Mia preferred to eat after the others disperse or order delivery.
They sat down after each other's food. This is the first time Devan has taken his own food, there will usually be a serving if Devan eats in the cafeteria even though it is rare.
"So, how long have you been working here?" Devan asked Mia after swallowing some mouthfuls of her food.
Leo chicks without being seen hearing any pleasantry questions from Devan. Oh yes, their sitting position is Mia and Devan opposite each other while Leo is next to Mia.
"Almost four months, sir." Mia doesn't like this atmosphere.
"I think you can talk to me casually. No need to call sir. Call my name like you called Leo."
"I'm sorry?" Mia didn't hear wrong, did she?
"Yes. Just call me Devan."
"No, sir. You are my boss. And didn't all the officers call you sir? It would be weird if I called you a name.".
"Then I'll have all these officers call my name."
"Lo's crazy." Leo held Devan back who was about to stand up.
"Sorry, my master is done." Mia immediately stood up and went to bring her food.
"Lo can scare him, Dev!!"
Devan breathed a rough sigh.
"Why did he get that cold." Devan muttered unconcernedly to Leo's words.
***
"Crazy basic! I think his spirit is better than the real thing."
Mia can go crazy if she has to face the face of the person she loves, but a completely different nature. If Arka is always gentle and mature, Devan is the opposite. He seems forced and childish. Both are equally aggressive.
Leo has returned from his lunch, but Mia doesn't see Devan.
"I will accompany Devan outside and will not return to the office. So you can go home after working on this document."
"okay."
"Mia, uh,"
"Yes?"
"Are you uncomfortable with Devan's attitude?"
"Emmm, a little."
"I'll tell him to do it better."
"What do you mean?"
Leo walked away without answering.
