The OVERPROTECTIVE Man's

The Chapter 70

"There's no need to apologize, because I assume it never happened on my show."

Valerie looked at Anna who was also looking at her while smiling no problem. Vale nodded in understanding, then joined in throwing his friendly smile.

"It's good that Ms. Petrova thinks so." said Vale.

Anna still kept a smile on her lips, until her phone suddenly rang, signaling a call coming in.

Anna reached into her bag and took her cell phone. Anna smiled broadly as she read the Id Caller above her screen. Anna happily picked up the phone out of who it was.

"Hello Sean, what's wrong?"  valerie's smile faded upon hearing the name 'Sean' from Anna's mouth.

Valerie involuntarily grasped tightly the fork she was holding while eating her meal by trying to be ordinary.

"Why? You missed me?" Valerie chewed her food slowly, like an unfeeling person.

Valerie heard Anna laughing and saw the woman's happy face. "I'm having lunch" Anna said.

"A little while you're done, what's up?" ask Anna again.

"You want to come get me?" vale's eyes widened upon hearing Anna's question.

"Alright, I'll send the location."

"See you dear." said Anna last time, before finally hanging up their phone.

Aiden who had seen clearly all the changes in Vale's face when Sean's name sounded, could only sigh.

"Mrs. Romanov will be here?" ask Anna.

"Yes, to pick me up." replied Anna.

"Your relationship seems to be going well" Aiden said with a smile.

"of course. Sean and I have been close since we were kids. I was the one who understood Sean the most long ago." Anna said, but her eyes looked at Vale who was eating his food in silence.

Anna seemed to grin for a second, then looked at Aiden with her smile.

"I stayed with Sean at his house during my time in this country, so Sean picked me up and drove me home" Anna added, saying no one questioned him.

Aiden was just ooh ria and Vale only replied with a faint smile.

"After we get married, Sean and I will settle down in Russia. His company that was here would be entrusted to his confidants." Vale raised his head to look at Anna so fixedly. Anna looked at Valerie equally.

Sean won't be living in this country anymore? That guy won't be in that company anymore? Valerie won't be able to see Sean again, after the man is married.

Valerie bit her lips firmly, put down her eating butcher, then looked at Aiden. "I have to go back to the office now, my lunch hour is running out soon" Vale stood up with an excited face.

"I'll take you." said Aiden, blocking Vale's hand.

Vale took off Aiden's hand checks quickly. "You accompany Ms. Petrova alone, while she's waiting for her fiance." Vale told Aiden.

"What are you going to the office with?" aiden asked again to block Valerie's hand and hold it tightly, so that Vale could not take it off again.

"With Taxi." Vale answered briefly and tried to uncheck Aiden's hand.

"Please Aiden!" vale looked at Aiden with a face of pain. While Anna looked at the two people in front of her with a slanted smile.

"We go together!" aiden said he did not want to be denied.

Vale groaned feeling her wrists ache.

"SEAN." Vale turned his head when he heard Anna's voice calling out the name in a cheerful tone.

Seen the figure of Sean standing while staring at the check of Aiden's hand at Valerie with a sharp look.

Anna got up to her feet so happily as she grabbed her bag, then stepped towards Sean and hugged the man's arm with a sweet smile.

Valerie turned her face away from Sean, threw Aiden's hand apart, then stepped with a cold face past the two couples.

Aiden rubbed his hair in frustration, then grabbed his phone and stuff on the dinner table. Aiden hurriedly took out his card to pay.

"I'll pay for this lunch Mr. Zachary, go after your girlfriend before she gets any further away" Anna said.

Aiden looked at Anna, then thanked her."Then I go first." said Aiden, then ran after the figure of Vale who was not in the Restaurant.

While Sean was still standing still with all his thoughts, not even realizing that Anna called out to him repeatedly.

"SEAN." Sean regained his senses from his daydream, then looked towards Anna.

"What's wrong?" sean asked, trying to be calm.

***

Valerie was sitting rough on her chair. Vale grabbed his hair, closed his eyes, then exhaled a rough breath.

Anna's words kept ringing in her head as if trying to take over her brain. Even Vale couldn't think clearly at the moment. His head suddenly dizzy pounding like a drum.

Valerie pressed her head firmly, hoping for the thumping feeling to dissipate. But his efforts were in vain, his head even more sick.

Valerie tried to put her head on the table and closed her eyes tightly. Rest for a while and hope that when he wakes up, his dizziness disappears. It didn't take long until Vale completely fell into his subconscious.

***

"Vale... Valerie.. Valerie's."

Valerie blinked her eyes slowly, raised her stiff neck from sleeping on the table, then looked at the person holding her shoulder and tried to wake her up.

"Melanie" said Vale, aware of the presence of his best friend who had not seen him for a long time.

Melanie seemed to be smiling gently as she rubbed the messy Vale hair.

"What time?" valerie asked who realized that she had just fallen asleep at work.

"Hour Six." Melanie replied casually. Vale scowled while cursing his stupidity, he had already been asleep for two hours.

"Gosh, is that Lucy looking for me? Or enter my room?" inner Vale remembered Lucy who was so chatty would scold him if he knew.

"Valerie is calm." said Melan looking at Vale who was sitting with a worried look.

"Lucy wasn't looking for you. Nobody comes in here but me." Melanie calmed Vale down.

"really? Where do you know?" vale asked unsure.

"Melanie all know. No need to think about it." said Melan put a look of stupid.

Vale finally tried to calm himself down. "How's your relationship with Sean?" ask Melanie directly.

Vale looked at Melanie for a moment, then let out a slow breath. "She's getting married to her fiance" Vale replied.

"Then?" ask Melan ambiguously.

Valerie looked at Melanie while frowning in wonder. "Then what? Yes, then they became husband and wife and lived together in Russia forever." Valerie replied in an annoyed tone.

Melan seemed to smile with satisfaction at Vale's reaction. "He said he'd marry that woman?" ask Melanie again.

Valerie snorted when she remembered the matter regarding the two couples. "Of course he'll marry his fiancee. He and Anna have known him since childhood and Anna knows him best." Vale said at length in a single breath.

Melanie nodded her head understanding. "You want to hangout with me to get that guy out of your mind?" ask Melanie.

Valerie shook her head helplessly. "I was sentenced to overtime for one week without a salary increase by the man" said Vale furious, not even wanting to mention his name.

"Why punished?" ask Melan wonder.

"He made excuses to resign himself to a strange story. Though it was clear that I resigned correctly, he said I broke company rules because I did not wait for approval from him." Vale was angry when he remembered yesterday's incident.

"You should have refused."

"I've explained everything correctly, to the point where I don't want to argue with him anymore and agree with everything" Vale said.

Now Melanie who snorted annoyed because she could not hang out with Valerie. Melanie pursed her pouting lips.

"Oh yeah, do you have a dog?" asked Melanie who had a wrinkle on Vale's forehead.

"What dog?" ask Vale confused.

"Here, this black dog photo" Melanie said, pointing to the black dog on Valerie's desk.

Vale grabbed the photo quickly and examined it. This photo and that box, obviously Vale dumped in the trash. Why are they here again?

Valerie went to her trash can and found the box there, but the picture was here.

Valerie tightly grasped the photo, then raised her head to look at Melanie. "Are you sure no one came into my room while I was asleep?" vale asked, looking at Melanie with a serious look.

"I asked Lucy's assistant who was standing guard in the hallway and she said no" Melanie said.

Vale looked back at the photo. There was a disturbing feeling when he saw the photo. His feeling is uncomfortable. Valerie returned to the trash and threw the photo away violently.

Seriate.....
