I Want to Be Loved

The Taste in the Heart

One week passed now Flora has returned to the office and works as usual. It was not easy for Flora to return to the office given the bad events that happened in that office, but thanks to the support of those closest to her made Flora slightly forget those bad memories.

Farhan even deliberately keeps Flora busy in the office so that Flora does not constantly remember those bad memories and Gio as usual men distract Flora by upsetting Flora.

"Flora get to my room!"

"Good, sir."

Flora put down the phone handle while sighing heavily. Though he had just finished doing the task that his boss gave him and now his boss asked him to return to face.

"What other work will he give me, why these days my boss is so cruel" Flora lamented.

Flora got up from her desk and stepped into Farhan's office. Before entering, Flora first knocked on the door of Farhan's office and upon hearing the voice from inside Flora opened the door and entered into it.

"Mother called me?"

"Yes Flora" said Farhan. "Flora have you prepared everything for today's meeting?" ask Farhan

"Already, sir."

"Good then. You can rest now before we start the meeting." Afterwards Farhan asks Flora to return to her desk.

"Thank you."

Flora breathed a sigh of relief because she could rest even for a moment.

Whether the dream or not while Flora is stepping into the pantry she crosses paths with Ardi and Flora does not see the arrogance on the father of her former lover.

"Flora," call Ardi.

"Yes, sir," said Flora stammering.

"Could come to my room," pinta Ardi.

Flora was silent and did not know what to say.

"There's something I want to talk to you about" Ardi continued.

"Good, sir." Flora's tone was still stuttering.

Flora finally follows Ardi's steps towards her study. A question came to Flora's mind, what exactly the father of her ex-boyfriend wanted to talk about.

"Please sit down, Flora!" Ardi asked Flora to sit on the sofa in her study.

Still overwhelmed with hesitation, Flora sat on the sofa next to the sofa that Ardi was sitting on.

"What do you want to talk about, sir?" Finally, Flora dared to ask.

"What's the connection between you and Gio" asked Ardi without making small talk.

"We're just friends" replied Flora. "What is this thing you want to talk to me about, Mr Ardi?" ask Flora.

"No, the reason I brought you here is because I want to apologize to you" Ardi said.

"I'm sorry? What's for?" flora asked not understanding.

"I'm sorry for the problems that have happened to your relationship with my son" Ardi said.

"It's okay, sir. Anyway it's over" said Flora.

"Do you still love my son?" ask Ardi.

The question that came out of Ardi's mouth managed to make Flora sculpt. Flora was confused as to what she should say to Ardi.

Ardi chuckled at the frostiness of Flora. "I can already guess with the silence you showed me."

Flora showed her awkward smile to Ardi.

Oh my God did Mr Ardi laugh? I hope this isn't a dream.

"Listen Flora! I have misjudged you all along. I think you're a woman who only loves Daniel for his possessions."

"It's okay Mr. Ardi."

"If you still love each other, this time I won't stand in your way, I'll bless you."

Flora's eyelids blinked repeatedly as she stared at Ardi with a look of disbelief.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I?" ask Flora.

"No! I'm serious about the words I just said" Ardi said.

"Is there something behind all this? Just like what your wife did to me?"

"No, I do this because I think about Daniel's feelings. He seems to love you very much" Ardi said. "And as for the company's problems, we know that today Gio will be named as the company's leader."

"Yes." Yeah." That was all Flora could say.

"All right, this is all I want to say." Ardi's words managed to disperse Flora's daydream.

"Think once again of my words about your relationship with Daniel," Ardi continued.

Flora nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Ardi. Then excuse me first."

Ardi nodded before escorting Flora to the front of his room.

Flora came out of Ardi's room and returned to her study. Along the way to her desk, Flora still thinks of Ardi's words. Is this real. Flora looked back and forth hoping that no one was there. After making sure there was not a single person Flora then pinched her own arm.

"Aww." Flora squealing. "Sick, this means it's not a dream."

"Flora." Flora instantly changed the direction of her gaze to the origin of the voice that had just called out to her

"Mas Abi ...."

"Flora where have you been? Mr. Farhan has been waiting for you and he has now gone to the meeting room" Abi said.

"Oh well, I'll catch up soon." Flora darted away from Abi and returned to her desk before catching up with Farhan to the meeting room.

The shareholders in the company had already gathered in the meeting room. The meeting this time is for the appointment of Gio as the new leader in the company.

The meeting was over and starting that day Gio became the leader of the company which means Flora will be his secretary.

Everyone had already walked out of the room after congratulating Gio. Now in that room there was only Flora and also Gio.

"Congratulations Gio, you can finally replace Mr. Farhan" Flora said.

"You're teasing me?" ask Gio.

"Medeck? I congratulated you and you said I mocked you? Ck, you fool," maki Flora.

"My life won't be free once I lead this company" Gio lamented.

"Hah base, you. Many want to get this position and you should now be grateful to be able to get this position, instead of complaining like this" said Flora.

"Yes, yes, yes, fine, my dear."

"It looks like we should celebrate this. You gotta buy me anything I ask, okay!" Flora extended her hand so that Gio would agree to her request.

Gio received Flora's helping hand and then grabbed it. "Anything for you, Honey."

"You're so sweet" said Flora, accompanied by her small laugh.

The two of them walked out of the meeting room and returned to their respective workplaces.

Even at night, the blue sky had turned dark. Sunlight has also been replaced by light from the moon. On the city street a white car was driving among the other vehicles. Inside the white car was Flora and also Gio who was sitting next to each other. Gio completely obeyed what Flora wanted to eat. And now they're on their way home.

Gio felt strange, it should be him who asked for a treat to Flora as a gift because he managed to get the position, but this was the opposite. But for Gio it does not matter as long as he can spend time with Flora.

"Gio, can you take me back to the office?" ask Flora.

"For what?" ask Gio.

"I have to get my car" Flora explained.

"No, I'll ask Abi to take her to your house later" Gio said.

"Why? I don't want to trouble Mas Abi" Flora said.

"Then will you just trouble me? If we go to the office I have to turn around again" grumbled Gio.

"Indeed why? Just turn around, right," said Flora did not want to lose.

"Then what's the problem if Abi will take her to your house. If you don't want to, just go out there yourself, "gio's upset.

Flora squinted sharply after hearing what Gio had just said.

"Basar doesn't want to trouble people, but wants to trouble me," grumbled Gio but could still be heard by Flora.

"Can't you just be sweet to me like you were this afternoon?" namel Flora.

"Don't hope, my dear. That afternoon was because I was solemn," replied Gio's origin.

"What?" Flora pursed her lips and folded both hands in front of her chest.

"Be my girlfriend then I'll be sweet to you" said Gio followed by a laugh.

Flora gawked and directly hit Gio. One blow Flora landed right on Gio's arm making the driving man chuckle.

Flora turned her face to hide her embarrassment, there was a faint smile behind it. His intention to tease Gio but it was precisely him who felt ashamed of himself.

Gio stopped his laughter and concentrated on driving back to his private apartment.
