My love is blocked by your throne

36. Not an Ordinary Personal Assistant

"Hallo, Aura Aneshka,"

The sudden greeting was really quite shocking for Aura who had just gotten off the car.

"P-Pak Anthoni," Aura slightly nervously answered the greeting of the man who knew he had been standing in front of him, let alone looking at the gaze of Anthoni on the car driven by Dirga, even until the car came out of the courtyard gate of Pramudya building.

"I can finally meet you, Aura," Anthoni said with a smile watching Aura's face closely.

"Eh yes, what is it, sir?" aura asked after the girl again managed to calm herself down.

"Have your boss come?"

"No, sir," said Aura. Because Damaresh still did not leave when Aura came out of the house.

"Ah you must have memorized Damaresh's work schedule well, until when you were here though, but you already knew that he hadn't arrived" Anthoni chuckled as he squinted his eyes.

"Ee," Aura choked up, it seemed like she had mispronounced which might invite Anthoni's suspicions.

"We go in together, Aura!" haggard Anthoni soon.

Aura nodded and then the two walked in tandem in a distance that was not too close.

"Do you like working here?" anthoni asked a moment later when their steps had been in the building.

"Yes, sir," replied Aura briefly.

"Yes, I'm sure so, too,"

The silent aura did not respond, fearing it would be wrong again.

The people in the Willyam family were intelligent people who were able to read even the smallest gaps, Aura felt she had to be more careful.

"The father uses a special elevator company officials only, while I will use this elevator," said Aura after the two arrived at the elevator door that is usually used by employees.

"You're the CEO's personal assistant, Aura. You should have used that special elevator, too" said Anthoni.

"I don't usually use that elevator, sir," Aura said in a polite tone.

"Or are you used to taking the CEO's special elevator?" anthoni asked with a slanted smile. Aura only responded with a smile.

The elevator door in front of them opened after Aura pressed down on it just now. "I go first, sir," said Aura to the smiling Anthoni. But the man also entered the elevator and stood beside Aura, then the elevator door closed. There was nobody in the elevator except the two of them.

Aura slightly shifted her body so as not to get too close to Anthoni.

"What are the rules of Damaresh? if you can't get close to another guy?" ask Anthoni

which seemed to hold its own intent behind that question.

"No, sir, this is my own rule" said Aura.

It's been clearly defined, right? if a Muslim woman must protect herself from men who are not her muhrim.

"Good, Aura. I love having a woman like you next to Damaresh. And I'd love it if Damaresh would like you eventually. If you're gonna like it or not, there's no need for me to ask. Because the fact is it is difficult for women of any class to resist the charm of my handsome cousin charming," said Anthoni who made Aura sigh. One more note that must be in

remember by Aura that the people in Willyam's extended family have a very high sense of confidence.

"Just-" Anthoni did not continue.

Aura looked at him. "What's all, sir?"

"It seems you're very curious to follow up on my sentence huh?" Anthoni chuckles.

"Sorry sir, if you don't please don't continue!"

"I'm going to continue, because you have to know this.

If that Damaresh starts liking you, maybe he will deny or avoid his own feelings. Because Damaresh will never want to bond with anyone, even with the woman he will marry later,"

anthoni.

"Why?" Aura could no longer hold back her curiosity.

"He is the supreme power-holder in Pramudya, which indirectly makes him bound by the rules of our extended family. If it was just his mother, he would have fought back, but I'm not sure he would have fought our grandfather, Willyam Pramudya."

Anthoni momentarily stared at Aura who was listening to the man's words carefully.

"And one thing you need to know, Aura. Our extended family will be very opposed if any of us fall in love with women who are not of their choice" continued Anthoni.

Aura was silent for quite a long time after hearing what the Anthoni said. He felt he could not swallow all the words, but also could not ignore everything just like that.

"I didn't mean to scare you, Aura" said Anthoni.

"Why do you feel that your explanation is frightening to me?" ask Aura quickly.

Anthoni smiled. "You don't have to tell me who you are to Damaresh, because I've been able to read enough, our family is a pretty hard person to manipulate, Aura."

"Is this a warning or a threat to me,

Sir?" The aura must ascertain where the direction of the Anthoni's current speech is headed.

"Not both. This is just a little bit of concern for my cousin" Anthoni said.

For some reason, the sentence felt Aura was not just a threat or warning, but like a dense darkness that blocked his steps in front. Aura breathed heavily.

"Ask, if there's anything you want to ask!"

Anthoni glanced at the silent Aura with a slight look down.

"No, Sir. Thank you," said Aura.

Not because there is nothing to ask, even a dozen questions have sprinkled in his head, but he also must be careful on Anthoni who has not been known to be in which camp. The man had talked enough when he only met Aura twice.

It might be true as he said that he caught the signal of the proximity between Aura and Damaresh, so he needed to tell some things

on Aura.

But Aura also felt that she could not believe it just like that

on Anthoni though perhaps from this man he can get information about Damaresh and his extended family, but it would be better if he knew directly from Damaresh himself.

And if in the end she will be faced with a situation to trust which one, Aura would certainly prefer to believe in Damaresh, her husband, her husband, regardless of whatever form of marriage they are currently living.

The elevator doors open on the twenty-floor.

"I'm down here, Aura. See you soon." Anthoni left a smile that could not be called a smile of hospitality or friendship.

Aura just nodded her head.

wallahu a'lamu.

****

"relax, Aura! I see from you you're very serious, are you thinking a lot?" ask Clara.

Aura immediately stopped her recording activities from earlier. " No, Ma'am" he replied.

"But you look like you're speeding a lot,"

"It's some work for tomorrow, I finish today because tomorrow I don't go to work!"

"Oo that's how it looks, but where are you going?" ask Clara.

"Aw an invitation, representing the L&D Foundation, Ma'am." And Aura immediately continued her work again.

The door of the CEO room opened from within, displaying the face of Kaivan standing in the middle of it.

"Clara, what time will the boss meet Mr. Anthoni?"

ask Kaivan.

"According to the schedule, fifteen more minutes. Mr. Anthoni should be here by now" said Clara.

"You can call him, so you can't be late,"

"soon Myself."

And Clara immediately grabbed the handle of the telfhon along with Kaivan who went back in by leaving the door of the room slightly open.

Just at the promised time, Anthoni Willyam was present at the place, the handsome man immediately threw a smile at Clara and Aura, who immediately got a similar reply from Clara, the handsome man immediately threw a smile at Clara, but not with Aura because the girl immediately lowered her head.

"As short as you can" said Damaresh.

"Alright, I know your work schedule is very busy, so I won't take much of your time."

Anthoni momentarily loosened the tie he was wearing.

"It's about the project in Bali, I heard that grandfather gave it all to you."

"Yes," Damaresh replied briefly.

"In my opinion, I am the strongest candidate to lead the company there later" said Anthoni.

"I salute your high self-confidence." Damaresh pulled the corner of his lips faintly.

"But Edgard certainly wanted the position

that,"

"I don't want to make you compete with Edgard to get my decision, only I haven't decided anything related to it, the construction of the building has only run ten percent." Damaresh looked at his cousin with a directional view that could be read by Anthoni if everything he said was in accordance with reality.

"Of course I refuse to compete with Edgard, you know, right, I don't like competition in the family?

moreover, I don't know who is the closest person to you that I can line up with expensive gifts so that he will persuade you to choose me," said Anthoni who got no response from Damaresh except the look and expression of his flat face.

"Or maybe I can persuade you through Aura?"

Anthoni begins to unleash his subtle attacks on Damaresh.

"Are you sure you can persuade me through my personal assistant?" Damaresh asked casually.

"He's not a regular personal assistant, is he? because there's no way a regular personal assistant goes back to this office to be picked up by Dirga, one of your confidants," anthoni said with a slanted smile felt he had opened a little secret of Damaresh with that, his cousin would definitely want to smooth out his plan.

Damaresh shrank his breath faintly. "You know that I really don't like it if anyone offends my personal life" he said flatly.

"Yes, I know that, Aresh," Anthoni replied with a smile.

"And do you know anything? if I always reply 'more' than what other people do to me?" Damaresh placed his sharp gaze on Anthoni.

"You mean?" This time Anthoni could not read where Damaresh was talking.

"I know you have a little 'secret' family that you'd really like to keep out of the reach of Willyam's extended family,"

Damaresh grinned little. "If you want to make Aura to corner me, I can also do the same to your little family, even more, Anthoni,"

Anthoni was seen swallowing his saliva faintly. He did not expect at all that Damaresh knew about his secret all along, but the man never harassed him in no way in the form of a little apology or insinuation. It is very wrong if now he tries to disturb the life of Damaresh who has never interfered in his personal life.

"I don't mean to offend you, Aresh," said Anthoni quickly, before Damaresh's anger evaporated into a retaliatory measure.

"Tell me what exactly you came here for, Anthoni. You've wasted a lot of my time" said Damaresh.

"Well, regarding the project in Bali, I have absolutely no interest in becoming the company leader there

later, you can leave it to Edgard or one of the Anggara brothers, grandfather's nephew.

I'm just asking for a little help from you, as a form of compensation for my resignation from the ranks of your candidates and grandfather."

"What?" ask Damaresh briefly.

"I want PT Indah Anugerah, can enter as a partner

business Pramudya Corp!" anthoni Pinta.

"Have you thought carefully about your decision?" ask Damaresh.

"Is there a problem with the company?" Anthoni asked back.

"It is not better if your startup is far from the business circle of Pramudya Corp, because with it the confidentiality of your identity will be far from the expectations of the Willyam family" said Damaresh.

Anthoni moment speechless, it turns out that Damaresh also knows that PT Indah Anugerah in question is his company which was pioneered with his small family.

"At first I thought so, too, but it seems I have other plans, because in the end I will not continue to hide from my extended family" said Anthoni.

"Well, I'll consider your request" Damaresh broke up.

"Thank you, Aresh. Then I'll be right away."

Anthoni immediately walked out of the room after getting a nod from Damaresh.

Anthoni passed Clara and Aura with a light smile and a slight nod of his head at Kaivan sitting on the sofa not far from the two girls. Anthoni then breezed away just like that.

"Tumben he is peaceful sentosa," chirped Clara who was used to receiving the familiar pleasantries of Anthoni.

"Ciyehh Clara felt lost," led Kaivan as she chuckled.

"It's not like that Kai-"

"Clar!" The voice of Damaresh interrupted what Clara was about to say.

"Yes sir," The girl answered.

"Is there a meeting schedule?"

"Sir, half an hour!" answer Clara.

"Cancel in an hour! I'm going out for a minute" said Damaresh.

"Good, sir." Clara immediately grabbed her phone.

"Fra!" Damaresh turned her gaze to Aura.

"Yes, sir,"

"Follow me a minute!" After giving the order he instantly passed with his wide steps.

Aura immediately rushed over.

There was no language spoken by the man despite standing close to Aura in the elevator, until arriving on the ground floor, Damaresh continued to be silent to his car parked in a special place. Aura followed him without a word.

"Arein!" out of nowhere, Yeslin suddenly stood in the way of Damaresh,

he made the man stop his steps immediately.

"Where are you going?" yeslin asked while glancing at Aura with the tip of her eyes.

"Get out" Damaresh replied briefly.

"With Him?" Yeslin turned his gaze on Aura.

"Yes, as you can see,"

"But I made a pact with Aunt Clau to see you, Aresh.We have important things to tell you," Yeslin said, staring at Damaresh.

"Other times, I'm out." Damaresh quickly passed Yeslin heading to his car while giving

cue on Aura to follow.

"But this is very important, Aresh!" yeslin.

"My business is also much more important" said Damaresh.

And Yeslin almost rolled his eyes seeing Damaresh open the car door for Aura and shut it back after the hijab girl sat down.

Yeslin stared at the pitch black lexus car that began to accelerate it until it disappeared from view.

Aura Aneshka, who exactly is that girl?

why did Damaresh treat him so special. Yeslin.
