Possessive Companions

Chapter 3

A few years passed. Darren has replaced his father and is leading the company. Not a few company employees are surprised to find out the true identity of Darren. And some are not surprised to have guessed it from the beginning. Their similarity makes some employees able to guess it. Although there is no clarification from Gara.

Darren parked his car in the company parking lot, then entered it. His powerful aura attracted every employee to look at him. But, just a few seconds. After that everyone came back to respectfully greet him.

"Good morning, young master." Greet every employee. And as usual, he just heard it without answering. No problem for old employees. But, the new employee will say arrogant.

The elevator doors closed and moved towards the top floor of the company building. Darren exited after the elevator stopped.

"Good morning, young master." Sapa Jiyo, Darren's best friend and secretary.

"Hmmm..." He replied with deheman. Something Jiyo rarely heard.

"Today there's a meeting at 8 a.m. After that, there's a meeting with a client at restaurant B at 3 p.m."

Darren mengangguk. Ia menatap jam yang melingkar di pergelangannya. Masih 40 menit lagi rapatnya di mulai. Jiyo berpamit kembali ke ruangannya.

Darren decided to check some documents that he had not been able to check yesterday. Suddenly he got a message notification from Darrel.

Darrel

I've found the perpetrator of the embezzlement of Dad's company here. Whaddya think? I'll take him to the police station, or I'll bring him in alone?

Darren smiled a little at his smile. A smile that makes everyone who sees it will feel anxious.

^^^ Darren ^^

^^^ Do what you want. ^^^

After sending the message, Darren went back to check the documents. At almost 8 o'clock, he and Jiyo headed for the meeting room.

His presence and Jiyo in the meeting room, made the atmosphere of the room feel so gripping. Everyone in that place felt as if it was hard to breathe.

"We're starting the meeting." His words were cold, making those people gulp.

Darren looks more ruthless than Uncle Gara. Inner Jiyo.

One by one the participants of the meeting gave their opinions and ideas. The burden on their faces instantly disappeared the moment the meeting ended.

Darren walked out followed Jiyo behind him. Instantly, the cold in the close quarters disappeared, and was replaced by a sigh of relief.

Jiyo followed Darren up to his room. "It's almost lunch time. Do you want me to order some food?"

"Yes." Yeah." One word came out of Darren's mouth along with the vibration of his phone. Again the vibration is sourced from the message notification.

I miss kangen

Darren put his phone back in and grabbed his car keys. Then he walked to the door.

"Cancel this afternoon's meeting." He said to Jiyo who was still standing.

"T-tap..."

"Just do it!" Darren pulled the doorknob of his room.

"What about the food?"

No more answers. What Jiyo heard was just a soft bang the door closed.

"Stupid! Meeting with clients only, Darren doesn't care. What else is the food business?" Mumbled Jiyo.

***

The knock on her apartment door made a girl's forehead shrivel. He did not ask anyone to come or order anything. Besides, it's late enough.

She with a hint of her courage rushed towards the door of her apartment. He opened it and found someone he had sent a message to a few hours ago.

"Darren," he said slowly and immediately hugged her. The man hugged her back as well.

"Where? I don't think so, do I?" Ask, gently.

The girl loosened her arms, then looked up at Darren. Then he smiled. "Still." He said, then hugged Darren tightly.

Darren didn't protest. He just stood up and let the girl hold him. It did not matter if they were still at the door of the girl's apartment unit.

"Now is enough. Come, in!"

Darren just nodded and followed the girl into his apartment. It was no stranger to her this apartment. He had made several sudden flights just to visit the apartment. And it was all just because of a message that was the same as the message he got earlier.

Both of them sat on the living room sofa. Before long, the girl rushed up, but was stopped by Darren.

"Where are you going?"

"She's going to the kitchen. Darren must be hungry, right? Asya wants Darren's food first."

Yes, the girl Darren came to just because a message was Asya. The only girl who can tease Darren other than Alisha.

Darren pulls Asya up until the girl gets back on her feet. He then hugged her tightly. "I'm not hungry." His word.

"Stay here. I'm here to take away your longing. Not asking you to cook me food." And still, with a flat voice. However, being able to make Asya smile.

"Thank you." Her speech.

The atmosphere became silent for a moment. Suddenly, Asya started to open her voice.

"Darren,"

"Darren skipped work again, huh?"

"Hm." Dehemnya with her hands still faithfully rubbed Asya's hair.

"Asya know, the company belongs to Uncle who will later belong to Darren same Darrel. But, it is not good to leave work just because of small things. Asya just want vidio call-an just like Darren. He sent the message after the first message."

"Sleep!" That's all Darren answers. He did not respond to what Asya said.

"But, Kasian Jiyo takes care of everything himself."

Hearing Jiyo's name being called, Darren further tightened his embrace of Asya. "Don't mention another man when I'm with me." Word's cold. "Sleep." Say again.

However, Asya was a little stubborn. The girl did not comply to go to sleep immediately.

"If you don't like to talk about other men, how do you talk about a woman? Asya wants to know Darren with Asya's college friend."

"I'm not interested."

Asya took her breath. He looked up at Darren. "If Darren has a girlfriend, Darren won't break up our friendship, will he?"

"What are you thinking?" Darren stared fixedly at Asya's face.

"No. It's just..."

"You'll still be my best friend." Said, firmly.

Asya smiled hearing that. He didn't expect more about his relationship with Darren. Darren just accepting that being a friend is enough for him. Although there is a sense for Darren, he tries to keep it hidden.

"Sleep! It's been this late. It's not good to stay up." Said Darren, who got the nod from Asya.

The girl slowly fell asleep in Darren's arms. In the end, he fell asleep completely. Darren smiled slightly then carried her towards Asya's room.

After laying down and enveloping her, Darren rushed towards one of Asya's apartment rooms and rested there.

Darren turns on his phone which he accidentally turns off before boarding a private jet.

1 missed call from Darrel

10 Unanswered calls from his mother.

5 missed calls from Alisha.

8 missed calls from Jiyo.

2 Chat from Alula.

2 Chat by Alisha.

1 Chat from Asya.

"Regarding this, Father knows best what I'm doing." He muttered while looking at the phone screen.

He then reads a message from his mother and Alisha.

Moms

Darren, son. You went to Asya?

Is he sick?

Alisha

Sis, why did you suddenly leave? Is Asya sick?

Let us continue in his condition.

Darren slightly smiled reading the contents of the chat Mother and her sister. It seemed, Mother and her sister had begun to understand his sudden departure.

"It must be Jiyo who made it all goofy." Mumbled.

He then remembered Asya's words. Soon he opened the contents of the message from Asya. Turns right. The girl forbade him from visiting her and only asked her to make a vidio call.

Again Darren gave a faint smile. He thought, is this really because Asya misses him, or does he miss Asya?

He then dismissed that thought. Then he dialed Darrel's number, called him.

"Hallo," Sapa Darrel from across there.

"Hallo. How's it?"

"I've done it." Darrel. "I know, you're in this country. Come here to see her later."

"Hmmm..."

"Yes already. I'll turn the phone off. Remember that! You're just the two of you with Asya. Don't fuckin. If ter..."

The call was immediately turned off unilaterally by Darren. Makes Darrel resist upset over the treatment of his twin brother.

Fortunately, I felt like I was scolding myself when I scolded him. Otherwise, I'll scold him until his eardrum breaks. Pissed Darrel.
