The Possessive Inclined

eps 13s

I try to ignore my feelings. Why did Darren kneel me here? But I was curious....

"You why? Does the food here not match your taste?"

"Ah... No! It's all so good."

"If there's a chance the next day, would you like to eat with me again? Or are we going somewhere else together?"

While chewing my food, while thinking about the time he meant, because I was looking to take part in the jewelly design competition a few more days.

"mmm... I'll tell you later" I said, not wanting to let her down.

"Are you busy?"

"Yes! I think I'll be busy in a few days. I really want to take part in the jewelly design competition which will be held in five days. Lately I've been pretty overwhelmed with the designs I'm going to prepare for the contest later."

He could only nod his head slowly. I continued my eating too.

"But... Wouldn't I chat with you anytime? And I won't demand you to reply to my chat quickly. Only if you're not busy" he said with his eyes sparkling with hope.

To be honest, Aldo is indeed a sweet and friendly man. His character is not much different from Ferdy.

"Sure!" I answered with my sweet smile.

"Do we still have time to go to the movies tonight?"

I looked directly at my watch which showed it at 17:45. It should be possible if only one hour, because I still want to continue my work when I go home. And I'm the most lazy to give a reason to mom if she asks why the date is only for a moment.

"All right!"

Aldo smiled very sweetly upon hearing my approval. But my heart was riled up. Not because it was speeded up by my work that was delayed and had to be quickly completed, but an uncertain ripple that did not know what the cause was.

Not long after, I saw that the figure similar to Darren had already started to leave his place. Really similar in terms of clothing and the way of the road. I have to prove it myself.

"I'll go to the toilet for a second, yeah" I said for a second.

"okay." Aldo immediately let me.

Leaving my pouch at the dining table and immediately going after that figure similar to Darren at a rather quick pace.

He didn't know I was kneeling him. The sound of my heels will not be heard clearly because the loud sound of music echoed around this room. I patted him on the shoulder as I was right behind his body. The figure of the man fell silent for a moment and immediately turned his head towards me.

"Via!" call him with a shocked face.

"Darren!" It turns out he was right. "You following me?"

"Hehehe.... You misunderstood. I came here thirsty and just wanted to drink" he replied.

I don't trust him. Strange attitude.

"I want to drink where it's up to me. Anyway, I don't like too many people. I prefer a rather private place."

I still look at him in disbelief. This is the weird kid. Why am I thinking that far? There's no way he's following me. I may be too narcissistic. Ah... Nevermind! Let's just say the talk is true. This time I trust him.

"Calm down! I didn't want to follow you on purpose" he said, holding both of my shoulders. "Now, I'm going home. You just continue the date," he continued, smiling sweetly in front of me.

"okay."

Darren immediately turned around and then left me.

Since the events of Via dating other men, Darren has always seemed unsettled and not too focused in his office. He has also rarely been to Ferdy and Via, because Darren is busy with his office affairs that are inviting other companies to work together. Ferdy is busy interning at a hospital in a remote rural area and rarely returns home. Via is also busy completing his designs for the contest.

"How do you guys work? How can not ballance gini spending funds?"

Darren was visibly angry as he threw all the maps he had seen on the floor during the meeting with his employees because they were not what he wanted.

All the employees just fell silent and looked at each other. They also stood up from their seats in fear until their bodies trembled. It seems that Darren is furious without being able to control his circumstances.

"I don't want to know yes, this should be revised again soon. Who is responsible for these financial statements?"

A young woman with her glasses who started to decline from the trunk of her nose as her body seemed to tremble instantly raised her right hand upwards.

"Sa... Me, Sir!" said the young woman was nervous while confirming the position of her glasses frame .

"Narnian!" exclaimed Darren when he knew the figure of a young woman with glasses who was familiar with it. "Why is this so bad? You must justify this all immediately! Anyway, tomorrow has to be over and I'm going to re-correct. I want to know how you calculate why this financial statement until not ballance like this. Check all balance sheets and journals carefully. Remember that!" darren's word that made the woman just nod her head quickly agreed to Darren's request.

While the other employees stared confused with Narnia, because this time Narnia did not do her job imperfectly. Narnia is a full-time employee and has worked for nearly three years at the Darren family company. Narnia is a bright young woman and she is in charge of the company's financial statements.

"Now, you're all dispersed!" tell Darren in a high tone while sitting back in his soft chair while massaging his forehead slowly.

All employees immediately returned to their respective rooms while carrying their files. While Mr. Jil is still beside Darren closed the door of the meeting room again and cleaned up some items scattered on the meeting table.

"Den, is there another problem?" asked Mr. Jil to ventured to open his voice.

Darren immediately looked at Mr. Jil without answering anything. His gaze was not at all frightening but like a gaze that wanted to share a story just did not know how to tell it.

"News, den! Who knows the feeling will be relieved later," said Mr. Jil with a smile.

Darren just kept quiet and still massaged his forehead slowly while loosening his tie a little.

"If you haven't been able to tell, gakpapa. Mr. Jil, come out first, prepare sweet warm tea for den Darren," said Mr. Jil again, saying goodbye to the meeting room to the kitchen office leaving Darren alone.

Not only is Mr. Jil astonished by Darren's highly emotional attitude today. Almost all office employees also gossip about the meeting.
