Restore Your Smile

Darrell's Matchmaking (2)

A few days later, the news awaited Andreas arrived. Samuel said his daughter agreed to meet with the candidate who was the son of a good friend of the Father's. Samuel also included his daughter's HP number so that their children could easily arrange each other's own schedules and meeting places.

Of course, this good news continued Andreas to Darrell.

"So soon you set your time and your work! Make an appointment, then meet Papa's friend's daughter in town B. Take a look at this! She's pretty, right?" andreas said he showed off the photo Samuel had sent him.

Darrell glanced at the photo on his father's HP. A little, he was also curious about the face of his future partner.

There is a beautiful girl's face with short hair cut bob layer model. The girl was smiling and showing a pair of dimples adorning her cheeks. The eyes are large with the tip facing upwards, like cat eyes. Yeah .... Pretty enough too .. said Darrell inwardly.

Darrell promised his father that he would contact the girl after he had arranged his schedule and finished his work one by one. He asked his father to be patient and entrusted the meeting to him. Andreas therefore retreated and chose to believe the words of the Son.

Three days passed. Andreas sees Darrell still struggling with his job. Therefore, Andreas asked the steps Darrell had taken regarding the meeting. But apparently Darrell hasn't done anything. He is still busy taking care of his work which can indeed be categorized as solid.

Darrell asks his father to be patient again. Wasn't his own father telling him to keep up his work? The sentence made Andreas speechless and backtracked in order.

Week pass. Andreas' patience began to wear off. He's not good with Sammy and his daughter who could be waiting for their news. Therefore, he went back to his son to ask about the preparation for the meeting Darrell had made.

"Have you contacted the girl?" ask Andreas in Darrell's study.

Darrell seems to be busy checking the files that are piling up on his desk. Without taking his eyes off the file he was checking, Darrell answered Andreas' question with one word, "Not yet."

Andreas started to get angry. "You seriously don't want to be betrothed?!" tanyanya saw the attitude of Darrell who seemed indifferent to matchmaking.

"Seriously so. But my job is a lot. Papa's demands are also no joke. Papa wants my division to still achieve the best sales ranking in the next quarter, right?" the answer is relaxing without emotion.

Andreas sighed. Sometimes facing Darrell does require a high level of patience. "Yes! But when will it be? Can't you manage your work on a priority scale? Not everything has to be solved, right? There must be something to hold off!"

"What about papa's friend's daughter? Is that girl also seriously willing to be betrothed to me?" Darrell suddenly asked. But his gaze was still focused on the file before him.

"Of course he's serious! If not, how could he give up his contact number and send you a picture of him!" bela Andreas's.

"In that case, why didn't he try to contact me first to arrange a meeting? Or is he coming to this city for example? Moreover, Papa said he was still a student, right? Surely his busyness cannot be compared to mine, "darrell argues.

Andreas' anger began to rise. "She's a girl, Darrell! It's in the East! Not West! There is an ethic where men must come to the Woman, especially at the first meeting! If you're serious about being betrothed, this weekend you'll have to visit! Don't embarrass Papa!"

Hearing his father's rising voice, Darrell stopped his activities and looked at the Father. He is not not not serious about this matchmaking, but for him his work in this company is more important. He began to enjoy the achievements he could carve. What about his efforts he managed to achieve the targets he set.

"Is it that important as this matchmaking, Pa? Isn't that girl still in college?" darrell asked in a low voice while looking at his father.

"Yes! It matters! He's part of Papa's plan so you can beat Celine. The strength of his papa company could become your strength. But because Papa wants to appreciate your feelings, so Papa let you explore the suitability of each of you at this meeting. Papa didn't force you to be, but be serious about this matchmaking!" andreas Pinta.

Replace Darrell who sighed. "alright. I will contact him directly. If the girl has time to meet this Saturday, I'll go straight for a flight ticket there, "dropping Darrell chose to budge.

"Good! Don't you delay any more!" his father said leaving his son's room.

Darrell stayed in his study alone, still glued to the door his father closed with a slight buzz. It seems that his father's patience is indeed on the edge. With a little heavy heart, he took out his HP from his pocket, and contacted the daughter of his papa friend.

...****************...

On Saturday, Darrell was in town B. He was looking for a cafe where he agreed to meet the girl.

Darrell was a little surprised when the Princess chose to meet at the cafe. He thought, whose name was an official meeting in order to match the children of prominent businessmen, would be held at least in a five-star restaurant.

For that, he was a little grateful. He was a bit awkward if he had to be formal in the first matchmaking he participated in. At least there seems to be one match between him and the Princess, they both choose to face their partners one-on-one without the company of their parents. Perhaps the Princess also prefers a familiar and relaxed atmosphere, rather than a stifling formal atmosphere.

Again Darrell matched the name of the cafe in front of him with the name listed in the short message sent by the Princess. After believing he was not wrong, Darrell entered the cafe.

The atmosphere of the cafe was quite comfortable and soothing. Visitors there are not too many, but also not too few. It is suitable for a first meeting. Secretly, Darrell admits to the girl's cleverness in choosing a meeting place.

Darrell circulated his gaze watching the faces of the visitors there. But he did not find a face similar to the photo he obtained. Maybe the girl hasn't arrived yet, Darrell thought. He also saw his watch which showed time 10 minutes faster than the promised meeting time. Darrell therefore immediately chose a seat near the glass window and ordered a drink first.

From the window, he can see the parking area in front of the cafe. Shortly after, a white sports car came and parked there. From inside, came out a short haired girl in a casual style and wearing sunglasses. His stature was similar to the girl in the photo.

Darrell's chest started rumbling. Tension began to surround him. It seemed like the girl he was about to be betrothed to had already arrived.

Darrell has no experience with women at all. A lot of women have changed in their lives. But there was nothing he took seriously. They offered to fill their days. As long as it did not bother him, he accepted their presence just like that until finally they themselves severed their relationship because they could not stand his attitude.

As expected Darrell, the girl entered and also circulated her gaze looking for a figure she seemed to know. It seems like her father also sent her a picture in return for the photo that the girl's father sent.

Darrell gulped to calm himself down. Then he stood up and waved his hand so that the girl could see his position.

The girl looked at herself and immediately approached her seat. "Sorry .... Have you been waiting a long time?" greet the girl is friendly.

"Yet. Please sit .." replied Darrell.

Instead of sitting down, the girl instead raised her sunglasses over her head and stared at Darrell sharply with her cat eyes. Darrell was a little awkward being stared at like that. But just a second later, the girl then smiled revealing her dimples, then extended her hand. "Rebecca," he said, introducing himself.

"Darrell, " said Darrell as he welcomed the gesture.

The two sat down after mentioning each other by name. The girl then raised her hand to call the waiter, then ordered a drink. From his style, it seems like this place has been commonly visited by the Girl.

"Just been home from college?" tanya Darrell opened the conversation.

"No. Just met a friend, "the girl replied straightforwardly.

Momentary silence. Darrell is confused as to what else to talk about. Fortunately the girl changed who continued the conversation. "It looks like you're of mixed blood. What mix?" ask Rebecca without the filter.

Darrell was slightly stunned by the straightforward question without further ado. Of the Easterners he had met so far, there was rarely any direct mention of his mixed blood, as the topic included sensitive cases that offended nations and races.

"European. My mom's from France. Is there a problem?" asked Darrell with frowns. Could this girl also attach importance to pure blood like her grandfather as the standard in determining a partner?

"No. Ask, "reply Rebecca. At that time the waiter came and delivered his drink order. The girl thanked him and started stirring up her drink.

Silent again. Darrell's really dead flea facing this girl. He doesn't know what to do and what to talk about. He also could not guess what he was thinking and what the girl in front of him would ask. But with his usual indifferent style, he pretended to be relaxed.

"Ap-" Darrell tries to open the conversation again with the intention of asking questions about the girl's hobbies. But apparently the girl had already preceded him asking questions.

"What family are you from?" ask Rebecca.

Darrell was silent for a moment. Was this girl not told by her father? Is this girl just following an arranged marriage? From his attitude and question, Darrell did feel this was not the first time Rebecca had followed an arranged marriage. It seemed like the Girl wanted to face off and judge for herself the men she was betrothed to.

"Adipratchem. My name is Darrell Adipratama. Didn't your father tell you?" Darrell asked back.

But the question was like passing by from Rebecca's ear. His eyebrows frowned upon hearing the surname Darrell. His eyes glanced upwards like he was remembering something.

Suddenly the water changed. A friendly smile expands on his face. His eyes sparkled because he found what he was looking for. "Are you ready, Celine?" rebecca asked. (noted: Rebecca does have a habit of remembering someone's surname as part of her business science application - eps 64 Enough Against Me).

Back Darrell was stunned because this girl knew his cousin. "Celine's my cousin's sister. We both work in the family company" Darrell replied.

"Gee .... How's Celine doing? We have not met for a long time. The last time we met was probably over a year old, "rebeca's cerocos without question.

"He's kind. Both of us are major topics in the company, " Darrell tried to lure the girl in front of him.

"Eh? Meanin?" rebecca asked not to understand Darrell's direction.

"Our performance is being compared. There are some people who are trying to reassess who is more suitable to be the heir among us. After all, I'm Adipratama too, right? Our position is now the same Director, " said Darrell with a slanted smile on his face.

Rebecca's eyebrows go deeper. "Hasn't it been established that Celine is the rightful heir to the company?"

"Rubber. But that was before I came in. Now, with my achievements beating his division three times in a row, wouldn't it be good if the decision was reviewed for the sake of the company's progress?" darrell said in a snobbish style.

Splash .... A glass of drink splashed into Darrell's face. Darrell was shocked by the sudden attack being launched on him.

In front of him, there was a beaver Rebecca's face looking at him. The empty drink glass in his right hand clearly showed who had just doused Darrell.

"You br*ngs*k!" hiss the girl. In the next instant, the girl immediately put her empty glass on the table and turned away leaving the cafe.

Darrell could only watch Rebecca leave. After he sees the girl's car has completely left the parking area, Darrell realizes what has happened to him. He took a handkerchief from his pocket, and tried to clean his face while laughing out loud laughing at what had just happened.

Interesting girl .. she said inwardly.
