My Geeky Secretary's

26. Stirring Emotions

The day Aiden and Rania go to London arrives. Now the boss and secretary are in the car that will take them to Mr. Gerald's mansion.

Yes, Mr. Gerald himself who asked for the discussion of the cooperation contract was carried out in his mansion not in the office of Alastar Corp.

Along the way, both eyes of Rania sparkled looking at the streets. 

Like a child who was first invited to visit, so did Rania who had just set foot in the city of London.

Aiden sighed, clucked and massaged the base of his nose. It seems that what Bella said has a point as well.

Aiden was a little worried that Rania's innocent attitude of delay could derail the business plan. But the next second, Aiden convinced himself that Rania would not make a fatal mistake.

The car went into a courtyard of the mansion that was probably half a football field. Once down, Rania was flabbergasted by the building in front of her.

"Rania, remember take care of our company image. Don't make a tantrum!" aiden whispered as they walked hand in hand.

Rania fused her index finger and thumb to form the OK symbol. Then he turned his gaze to the man standing up to welcome their arrival.

Rania estimates the age of the handsome man with green eyeballs is not much different from the age of Boss Aiden.

Rania lowered her head in salute and shook hands with the man.

"Mr Gerald," said Rania kindly.

Gerald returned Rania's smile and said, "Welcome to our mansion. I purposely brought you to the mansion because I want our business discussion this time to be done casually."

Then Rania and Aiden are welcome into the mansion. Precisely in the spacious dining room and there is a long table that has presented various kinds of Indonesian cuisine.

Gerald deliberately entertained Aiden and Rania more special than other business partners. He and Aiden have been friends since college.

"It's like my mother's cooking, anyway" Rania stared at the food at the table with sparkling eyes.

Suddenly Aiden kicked Rania's leg under the table, but he was wrong target so that the one who was kicked was Gerald's leg.

"Aiden, are you okay?" asked Gerald frowned while glancing down his feet.

"Oh, sorry, Gerald," Aiden said expressionlessly. Then tilt the body to whisper in front of Rania's ear. "Remember, keep your attitude!"

Gerald, who heard Aiden's words, laughed, "Just relax, Aiden. Talk about business later. Now we eat first. Oh yeah, Rania, did you say this was like your mom's cooking?"

Rania nodded her head. "My mother sells home-cooked meals, sir."

"Would your mother be able to cook." Gerald frowned looking like he was thinking hard. Then he clucked, "What's that name. That's round, tender and tastes good even though it smells a little."

Aiden gawked in disbelief as his mind floated far away thinking of the description of the object that Gerald had said.

Round, padded, and tastes good? Gerald's apparently got a dirty mind. Inner Aiden.

"Ooh jengkol?" Rania guess.

"Exacly!" pekik Gerald who the next second laughs loosely.

"My mother was the best cook at jengkol balado. If Mr. Gerald will, I will send it specially for you, Sir," said Rania smiling.

Plaque.

Aiden patted his own head. He would not expect the discussion about the employment contract will change to discuss jengkol balado.

However, apparently thanks to Rania who discussed jengkol balado make Gerald's mood very bright cheerful.

Even Gerald's mood continued as they moved into the study to begin seriously discussing the contract they were about to agree.

After long talks, Aiden and Gerald shook hands to sign that their deal was agreed by both sides.

The two men smiled at each other. The difference is, Gerald smiled because he will get a snick post while Aiden smiled because his company will benefit greatly from cooperation with Alastar Corp.

"I make sure our project is going to work soon, Mr. Gerald," Aiden said steadily.

Aiden turned to Rania who was rubbing her eyes as a result of holding back sleepiness. Then the woman silenced her own mouth that was eager to yawn.

Now they are in a cafe that carries an outdoor theme. They sat looking at the passing vehicle.

"You sleepy?" aiden asked attentively even though his facial expression remained flat.

"No, Boss. I'm waiting for a message from Carlos."

Hearing Carlos' name mentioned, Aiden gave a rude snort and immediately threw away his face.

For the umpteenth time Rania checked her phone. A few hours ago Carlos called him but Rania was with Mr. Gerald and Boss Aiden. Making Rania unable to take a call from Carlos.

And now, when Rania had some free time, Carlos did not return the message from her.

The night is getting late and Aiden sees Rania rubbing her arms. A sign that the woman was cold.

"Get me a coat in my car!" Aiden's orders.

"Why doesn't the boss himself take it?"

Aiden took a deep breath. "Rania, don't ask too many questions! Just do what I tell you!"

Puckered her lips, Rania moved from her seat. Leaving the phone on the table to pick up the coat Aiden meant.

After Rania left, Aiden saw the girl's phone ringing with Carlos' name on the screen.

Aiden smiled faintly when he found Rania did not name Carlos' phone number with affection or so on. Then Aiden's hand moved to pick up the phone.

"Hey, jal***!"

Aiden's face frowned in surprise when he heard the voice of the woman across there. In the next second, Aiden immediately recognized that the voice of the woman was Naomi.

Aiden knew Naomi because she had met several times at every party Carlos held.

"Hi, Rania, why shut up? I know you are a ja****. You used to kiss Aiden, you were close to Abe, but you were dating Carlos. Your policy is really ja****."

Aiden's powerful clenched hands ignited emotions as soon as he heard Naomi calling Rania by the name of jala**.

"Rania doesn't exist" Aiden said briefly.

"Oh, uh, who is this?" from across the street Naomi looked confused.

"That's not important. But before you mention Rania jal***, first look at what you look like?" aiden's circus then hung up.

After a few minutes, Rania returned with a black coat. He thrust the coat at Aiden who had a face soaked in anger.

"Here, Boss."

"Wear it!"

Rania stretched out the coat and placed it on Aiden's shoulder. Making Aiden jumped in shock as well as frowning.

"Wear it for you, you idiot."

"Ooh," said Rania relaxed. "If the love commandments please be more specific and clear yes, Boss."

Then he wears Aiden's coat. While his boss was silent still angry at Naomi who had dared to say Rania woman ja****
