Today, on exactly one Sunday Richie and Dea became a married couple. But there was no happiness on Dea's face. She was still acting hard on her husband. They also sleep separately.
Richie doesn't mind all that. Dea has agreed to this marriage and wants to live with him, he thinks it is more than enough. To make Dea fall in love with her it would be a challenge for her.
"Good morning, honey," Richie said when Dea just came to the dinner table. They are currently living in Richie's apartment at Richie's request. And Dea agreed. Obviously Dea agreed, because Dea did not want her family to know if they were currently separating rooms.
Dea didn't answer Richie's greeting. He immediately sat down and enjoyed the breakfast that Richie had prepared for him.
Yes, as long as they were husband and wife, Dea never did homework. Especially cooking for Richie. Richie always makes breakfast for them. While other homework there will be servants who will come after they leave for work.
"Sorry, Honey. It looks like tomorrow I'm going out of town for a big project that's going to take place with GM Groups, so for breakfast you can order it through the app" Richie said.
Instantly makes Dea stop her chewing and stare at Richie. "You don't have to worry, I can make my own breakfast" Dea said flatly.
"really? Will you make me breakfast one day too? I'd love to taste your cooking, honey." Richie said teasingly. To be honest, he also wanted to enjoy Dea cuisine.
But Dea instead looked at him sharply and made Richie chuckle at him. He thinks Dea is so fierce, but that's what always makes Richie miss his wife.
"I'm leaving" Dea said after finishing her morning breakfast.
"Why rush? Wait a minute, I'll take you, baby," Richie said.
Dea doesn't answer, but she's waiting for Richie at the apartment door. Today, his company will work with Richie's company. There will also be Uncle Gemal and Papa Arya. So Dea doesn't want them to know if her marriage to Richie isn't actually like a typical wedding.
***
At the office, they walked. Richie's hand grabbed Dea's hand and grabbed her. There was no fight from Dea. Richie knew that his arrogant wife would definitely not reject him because Papa Arya and Uncle Gemal were currently in this office. Richie will take advantage of the opportunity to be close to Dea.
"Good morning Papa, Uncle," Richie said as he entered the meeting room. His hand was still faithfully holding Dea's hand.
Seeing Richie holding Dea's hand, made Papa Arya and Uncle Gemal smile happily. It turns out that it was not in vain that they married Richie and Dea. They always pray for Dea and Richie.
"August, Son. You guys are so friendly" said Uncle Gemal.
"Obviously they are friendly. The new bride" said Papa Arya, winking one eye laughing.
While Dea lowered her head feeling embarrassed. Slowly he tries to let go of Richie's hand. But unfortunately Richie even more tightened his hand grip. Until there's no more room for Dea to let go.
The two companies have finally collaborated. And now there are many reasons for the two of them to meet often.
Dea returns to her room after signing a cooperation contract with Richie's company.
His hands are not stopping massaging his temple considering that he will often meet with Richie in addition to the apartment.
Fortunately today Richie had a meeting with another company, so she had little time to be alone without her husband.
"Good morning, Miss Dea," said Celine.
"Hemm," Dea answered, causing Celine to notice Dea's face, which appeared to be bent.
"Why do you look so sour, Miss? Did Mr Richie last night make you too tired, Miss?" celine's question made Dea instantly stare at her sharply, making Celine chuckle.
"You better get back to work to host it there, Celine. I don't want you to bother me with that silly question of yours" Dea said as she opened the laptop in front of her.
"Sorry, Miss," said Celine, realizing Dea's bad mood. "But I just want to convey that Mr. Abraham is advancing the meeting to be this afternoon."
"What's? How could? Why so suddenly?!" exciting Dea.
Dea watched his watch which showed it at ten in the morning. And he also has not learned about what they will discuss in the meeting later. By one o'clock they had to meet.
"Prepare all the files I'll learn, Celine. There's no time."
"Alright, Miss. As soon as I'll prepare," said Celine obediently and immediately went to her desk to retrieve the file that Dea will study for this afternoon's meeting.
***
It's half an hour now. Dea invites Celine to her car and leaves for the restaurant that will be her meeting place later.
But Dea patted him on the forehead when she realized that Richie was carrying the keys to his car. Her husband forgot to give her the key.
"How is this, Miss?" celine asked as time continued.
"Hurry and get the driver to get us an office car ready. There's no more time, Celine," Dea orders.
"All right, Miss."
***
"Celine, you have to learn to drive so that if there is a sudden meeting like now you can count on" Dea said.
"Alright, Miss. I'll learn to drive a car later."
"Good." Dea smile. The secretary is good. And now Celine has to be all-around able to do everything including driving a car.
Shortly after, their car arrived at the restaurant where the meeting took place. Dea immediately came down and walked dumbstruck in following Celine behind him.
One of Mr. Abraham's assistants was waiting in front of the restaurant and pointed out the direction of the meeting this afternoon.
"Please, Miss. Mr. Abraham is waiting" said Mr. Abraham's assistant.
Dea smilingly nodded and immediately followed behind him. Until they arrive in a room that has a special door.
Dea and Celine get in there. Abraham stood up and went to Dea to shake hands with him.
"Good day, Miss Dea."
"Good day, Mr. Abraham."
"Please sit down."
Dea nodded briefly assenting. But he was surprised when he saw the figure of two men he was so familiar with.
"Arsen?"
One of those men was Arsen. The man who had become his business partner even to this day. Dea never saw Arsen again. The man seemed to disappear just in the swallow of the earth. But now Dea meets again without her dues.
"Hi, Dea. Long time no see." said Arsen smile.
Dea just smiled wryly without making a sound. He invited Celine to sit on the seat between the men. Feeling so awkward and uncomfortable. If Richie finds out, it's gonna be a big deal. Richie dislikes Arsen and always forbids him from meeting Arsen.
