My Arrogant Woman's

Chapter 2

Dea began the meeting by making alternating presentations with her secretary. Dea seemed misbehaved as Arsen watched her without even blinking a single glance. Clearly, at this time Dea explained in detail about the company he led. Wouldn't it be natural for Arsen to look at her?

Even the others were paying attention to him at this moment.

Arsen was the first handsome man to become his client. Because before his client was a man who was the same age as his adoptive Papa. That's why Dea felt a little awkward.

"All right, Miss Dea. I'm interested in working with your company" Arsen said.

Dea heard it. Was the man really sure of working with his company?

"Mr Arsen is willing to cooperate with our company?" ask Dea to make sure.

"Yes, Miss." Reply Arsen sure.

"Don't you want to observe our changes first? You can decide before you cooperate with our company."

"I don't need to make any observations. It just so happens that Mr. Arya is a friend of my papa, so I already know the ins and outs of the company you are managing at the moment."

Dea did not believe his client immediately decided to cooperate with him. It has been a pride for him. Because he got clients without help from Mr. Arya. Previously, Mr. Arya still often helped himself.

Dea immediately ended his meeting with Mr. Gabriel and Mr. Arsen. They will meet again in a few days to discuss the issue of the cooperation contract.

"Then we'll excuse you, miss. See you in a few days. It's good to be working together" Arsen shook Dea's hand and smiled at her. And it makes Dea's body like a statue.

"I-yes, Sir. Thank you for working with our company."

"Together, Miss." Arsen immediately ended the handshake. He immediately left the meeting room.

While Dea was still staring at the now closed door. He smiled at Mr. Arsen's back.

'He is very handsome, and also very polite. Totally different from Richie's Inner Dea. Dea. He shook his head as he suddenly remembered Richie and compared him to Arsen.

"Isn't Mr Arsen so handsome, Miss?" ask Celine. His voice impressed Dea.

"Eh, why are we talking about Mr Arsen, Celine? Let's get your work done quickly" Dea said, stretching her legs away from the meeting room.

Dea looked up at the sky which looked so bright from the window of the room. He thought about what happened a few months ago. Mr. Arya and Mrs Zara have made it public that she has made herself her second daughter.

Dea was very happy at the time. Having a family is her dream. Especially with his best friend Moza who is now his brother. He really feels happy. However, he was still so awkward when calling them Mama or Papa. To this day Dea still calls them with the Master and Madam.

Arsen drove his car at a moderate speed. He stopped his car and pulled over for a moment when his phone rang.

Arsen grabbed his phone and immediately picked it up. Her father's name is on her phone screen.

"Yeah, what's calling me?" ask Arsen.

"Arsen, where are you?"

"I'm on the road, Dad. I'm going to the office" said Arsen.

"Coming to Singapore today, I'd like to take you to meet Mr. Arya."

Arsen frowned. A familiar name in his ears. Mr. Arya, isn't he the owner of the main company in Singapore. And the company he just came to is his subsidiary in Indonesia. "Which Aryan Lord, Dad?"

"Of course Mr. Arya Prasetyo, the owner of the second largest company in Singapore. He wants to introduce his second daughter to you in celebration of her first daughter's pregnancy." explained the father.

"Second daughter? For What, Dad?"

"She wanted to find a mate for her second daughter. The second daughter has never dated, and so far has not had a partner. He always complained about it to Dad. So I want to introduce you to his second daughter. Maybe you'll be a match." said the father with so much confidence.

"What's? Nah! I don't want to, Dad. I don't know how the ins and outs of her second daughter are, after all, I want to choose my own future wife" she said.

"But the problem is Mr. Arya will give you 1/4 of his shares if you guys match."

"I don't like matchmaking, Dad."

"You don't have a partner either. Who knows if you guys are fools. Come on, son, just help your father this time." said the father full of requests.

Arsen took a long breath. His father always forced his will.

"Oh boy, don't disappoint me."

"Alright, but only get acquainted" said Arsen who finally agreed to his father's request.

"All right, thank you son."

"Hmmm...."

"Then...." His father had not yet finished his speech, Arsen had already decided on a call unilaterally. He was so upset with his father.

Arsen immediately disconnected the call. He did not think about his father. His father was so crazy about company shares.

Just a few minutes Arsen's phone rang. This time he lifted without looking at the screen of his phone.

"Yes, what's up, Dad?" Arsen thought his father was back in touch.

"When did I become your father, Bro?" someone said across the phone. He sounded sniggering across there.

Arsen was surprised by his father's different voice. He looked at the screen of his phone and it was Richie.

"What's wrong? Tumben called me once. Is the bride bored? Hahaha," chirped Arsen with a laugh.

"Don't say that. You yourself know that I will never accept an arranged marriage from my family."

"Okay, I know that. But why did you refuse her, wasn't your future wife so pretty?" Arsen teases Richie.

There was the sound of breathing from across the call. "That's it, but this heart is already anchored to someone" Richie said in a heavy voice.

"What's with that girl you're gossiping about? You must not be the man who snatches another man's wife. Find another girl."

"Are you crazy? How could I be the snatch-man for another man's wife."

"Oh yes, the day after tomorrow I will fly to Singapore to attend Mr. Arya's event. Isn't that the daughter who was gossiped about with you? They're going to have a thanksgiving party for her pregnancy. Well, do not be heartbroken, Bro," said Arsen who again teased his friend.

"Damn! I'm gonna stuff your mouth with that."

"Haha... That'll never be possible. Aren't you currently in Korea going through the arranged marriage that your parents did? Can't be in an instant you come and stuff my mouth? Haha...." Arsen is back. He had already imagined the upset face of the rising actor.

They become familiar when Richie's cousin Deko introduces them.

"You see, I'll come to stuff your mouth later."

"You think I'm scared? No."

"I forgot my original intention of calling you Bro. I'd like to ask if you know where Deko is right now? You're his boss, so I'm asking you."

"I wasn't with him, he had three days off from work. Later if I see him, I'll let you know."

"All right, thanks Bro. See you later when I come and stuff your mouth" Richie joked and immediately closed the call.

Arsen just smiled shaking his head. "That's never gonna happen, Bro," he muttered and went back to saving his phone. He returned to his office to run his car.

In other places, in Korea. A man stared at the glass window of the eleventh floor. It looks like the rain is pouring. The man closed his eyes for a moment. He remembered his life.

His father told him to stop being an actor. Because his father wanted him to hold the company of his family to be the successor of the Papa.

Her father had also betrothed her to his best friend's daughter. Richie refused hard. His heart is still in Singapore. But he does not know the destiny he will live. The girl who had already stolen his heart had rejected him many times.

That girl is Dea. Somehow the story goes, he could fall in love with the girl. He liked Moza so much.

Could it be Richie as in the rumors, right? A handsome man who loves women who would easily fall in love with any woman?

Answer, no. He has his own reasons for having harbored his love for a girl named Dea.

Richie smiled remembering Dea's face, but there was sadness in his smile. His love is unresolved. To this day, he cannot love another girl. Then what should he do? Richie was so confused by his heart.

Until a knock on the door of the room sounded.

"Annyeong haseyo" said a girl who is now seen entering her room. A beautiful-faced woman smiled sweetly in front of him.

Richie did not reply with the same expression.

"What are you here for?" he asked without looking at the woman named Hye Jin who is currently being betrothed to him. Richie pretends to focus on the file in front of him.

Hye Jin walked over to her. "Uncle and aunt told me to take you home" Hye Jin said still with a sweet smile.

"Why did they tell me to go home?" asked Richie who still did not take his eyes off the file in front of him.

"Uncle and aunt told us to choose wedding clothes. Did you forget about it?"

"No. I'm still busy at the moment."

"But Uncle and Aunt told me to."

"Tell them if I can't come. Choose everything as you wish. Sorry, I have to meet soon." Richie steps up leaving Hye Jin alone.

Hye Jin stared at Richie's back which started to disappear from behind the door. "Always, he behaves like that to me. Is he not bored?" hye Jin was upset. He immediately stepped out of Richie's room.

***

Dea stared at a message from Mr. Arya telling her to return to Singapore. Of course Dea will obey. His friend had returned from his vacation and brought such happy news to everyone including himself.

He'll be a candidate for aunty. Just imagining it makes her smile.

"Celine, I want you to handle my work while I'm in Singapore. I entrust everything to you" Dea said as she finished signing the papers in front of her.

"Alright, Miss. When are you leaving?"

Dea put down her ballpoint pen and looked at Celine. "I'll leave the day after."

"But the day after tomorrow we'll be reunited with Mr. Arsen, Miss. We'll sign a contract with her company" Celine reminded Dea.

Dea patted his forehead. He forgot about that. He seems to think. "I will still sign a cooperation contract with Mr. Arsen's company, Celine. Only then will I leave for Singapore."

Celine smiled and nodded.
