The Love of the Maharani

Meet Again

As soon as she closed the door to her room, Anna was reminded of a black ATM card that Daffa said contained her daily shopping money. In her heart Anna was curious, about how much shopping money Daffa gave her monthly.

If only for pocket money Daffa intended to give him three million per day. That meant for a month he would receive ninety million from that young man! And that's just for pocket money. Not yet added to the shopping money.

Anna's hand shook with goosebumps as she recalled the contents of the money in the black ATM card she had in her bag. Afraid that the card would be stolen, Anna clasped her sling bag tightly.

It was a laughable sight to be seen by the people around Anna. How not?

With Anna's seemingly ordinary appearance (swallom flops slippers, original hairstyles, and clothes that can often be found in the street market), Anna is seen keeping a purse bag draped over her shoulder.

The purse carrying Anna also looks 'very cheap' even compared to the bags sold in the gift shop there.

Anna had thought of returning to her room and putting the black ATM card in the room. But his intention was to undo it, because even in the room could not be safe.

Given sometimes there are hotel employees who pass by to deliver food orders or even take laundry clothes. Anna finally decided to take the black ATM card with her.

"Mrs Anna!" A soft voice greeted Anna suddenly from behind.

Although the woman's voice sounded slow, but because Anna was wary of keeping a purse bag containing a black ATM card from Daffa, she was very surprised.

Anna was about to hit the person who called her if she did not turn around immediately and see the identity of the person.

"Geev!" Anna exclaimed in shock.

Eva's secretary gave Anna a warm smile of hers.

With a black dress along the knee and the upper half of the dress that slightly shows her twin mountains, Eva looks so beautiful and elegant.

Anna then compares Eva's appearance to her own. And Anna felt a little disappointed in herself.

'Do I also have to try to beautify myself like Eva? He seems to like Daffa. What if Daffa is interested in him?'

Degs..

Anna is heartbroken by her own wild fantasies.

"Mrs want to take a walk? What if I accompany Madam? I was also looking to enjoy the morning breeze," Eva's voice re-entered Anna's sense of hearing that had been blown away.

"Oh! Mm. may. may.." said Anna spontaneously before she realized what she said herself.

Anna and Eva walk out of the hotel.

To Eva, Anna did not feel the dislike as she felt to Joanna or Mrs. Corrine also liked Daffa. Anna only felt a slight discomfort while being close to the woman.

From Eva, Anna did not receive the same kind of hateful look she received from other women who liked Daffa. So Anna finally chose to be quieter than she usually was.

But because of curiosity, Anna finally asked Eva something.

"Eva. you.."

Just two words Anna spoke, her words suddenly cut by Eva.

"Call me Bella, Madam. I'd rather people call me by that name" Eva pleaded.

"Huh?" Anna parroted not understanding.

Eva explained further.

"My full name is Eva Bellinda. But I'm more commonly called Bella than Eva. My office friends called me Bella" Bella explained.

[And from this moment on, we'll call Eva's secretary by the name of Bella yeah, guys.. Want to change the name so it's better to call. Xixis..🤭😁😁]

"Oh.." Anna also understands the origin of the name Bella finally. "But Daffa calls you by name.."

"Eva. Yep. If with Mr Daffa, I obviously can't rebuke him right to call me by a name I like? Maybe I'll get fired!" Bella continued Anna's words.

Anna then invites Bella to sit on a beach chair that is available for free on the beach. It was the same chair where he waited for Daffa to buy seafood and meet the heartless guy who took his seat.

Given that annoying guy, please pass through Anna's mind.

'I hope I don't see that guy again!' Anna is monologuing in her heart.

"How long have you been working with Daffa, Bel?" Suddenly Anna asked the brown haired lady that boat.

Every time he saw Bella's appearance, Anna felt that their ages were very different, when in reality they were only two years old.

Bella does have an uncreated adult appearance.

'And, if only Bella didn't like Daffa, I might get along with her, ' Anna whispered in her heart.

"I've actually been working as a secretary at the Zi Tech branch company for seven years when it comes to the time since I interned. But formally I have only been his secretary Mr. Daffa for about three years. Ever since Mr. Daffa first came to Mr. Zion's family," Bella said.

Anna's cup immediately lifted. He realized something. It seemed like he could get to know the Daffa family from Bella's mouth.

"You seem to know enough about the Daffa family.." Anna commented in a soft voice.

Bella realized Anna's intention of commenting like that. And finally Bella's next sentence became the opening path for Anna to know about the conditions in the Daffa family.

"I know quite a lot about the Zion family. Because after all from the age of ten I have lived and grew up in the main mansion where the Zion family lived" Bella admitted.

"Oh! Until now?!" Anna excitedly asked.

At first glance Anna caught a sad look on Bella's face. But it was just a glance. Because the next second, that sad look changed with a tough expression. It was as if the decision to move out of the Daffa mansion was the best choice the petite woman had made.

Seeing Bella's expression earlier, Anna became confused not to understand.

"No. I no longer live in the Zion mansion. I now live in a small apartment that I bought myself.

'If Bella really likes Daffa, wouldn't it be easier if she stayed in the Daffa mansion? Then why did he move?' anna wondered.

"Why? Isn't your foster father still living in Daffa's family mansion? Your foster father is Mr Kiman, right?" Ask Anna back.

Anna accidentally gets the facts about Bella's adoptive father when she hears Daffa's chat with Mr. Kiman, Daffa's personal driver.

Instantly the expression on Bella's face hardened.

"He's not my foster father!" Reject Bella with a slightly raised tone.

Anna was surprised by Bella's rebuttal. According to Daffa's story, when Bella was a child she was taken care of by Mr. Kiman, who was a good friend of Bella's mother and father. At that time Bella's mother and father were caught in a fatal accident that took their lives, leaving little Bella without anyone else in the world.

Finally, Mr. Kiman who was only in his early thirties and still single, ventured to help care for little Bella.

'But why does Bella seem to dislike Mr. Kiman? Even though in several times my interactions with Daffa's personal driver, I can judge that Mr. Kiman is a good person. But why..?' Anna is monologuing in the heart.

Anna asks Bella, however, when a bass voice greets Anna from a short distance away.

"Hey, Ms. Anna! We meet again! (we meet again!)" A man's voice.

'Duh. Don't tell me this is the shitty guy from yesterday. I just met you this morning at the rice shop. The present time has met again!' Anna was half guessing and half grumbling in the heart.

Then Anna turned her head towards the direction the voice was coming from. And, sure enough.

The handsome young man with a cross-faced Indo with an athletic body was clearly visible in Anna's blind eyesight.

The young man this time re-emerged with his entire wet body, as well as the existence of a surfboard flanked by his left arm.

Anna is in the heart. Really did not like his reunion with this young man.
