The Scandal With My Boss

Chapter 25 - The Tasteless Sea Water

At the moment the woman does not want a room with him, Darren must go back to sleep on the sofa together with his thin blanket.

Anne seemed really angry at him even when they were about to go home with the woman and continued to ignore him even though Darren had often asked her to speak.

"I'm sorry Anne I did all this because I knew she had other intentions not because she really wanted to invest in our company," he said himself, closing his eyes, hoping that tomorrow things will improve.

Secretly Anne peeked at the man behind the door, honestly she could not bear to let Darren sleep on the sofa again but how else she felt regretful with her decision and she was embarrassed because it was already dare to start kissing her.

"Why the hell can this damn stomach starve at this hour" he said, sneaking out of his room straight into the kitchen making a cup of instant noodles to stifle his hunger.

"ANNE," at once he was stopped from his activities in the kitchen when he heard his name called Anne almost hanging to hear it, but when he turned around he saw no one.

"ANNE.. I'M SORRY." he approached the source of the voice and Anne was still in disbelief, the man was delirious to say his name even to the point of apologizing to him even while he was asleep.

He was about to touch his cheek but as soon as he pulled back his hand turned to the kitchen, took his food and brought it into his room.

"Sorry Darren I'm not in the mood to listen to your babble" he said, locking the door to his room, choosing to eat and enjoy his noodles instead of having to serve Darren's delirium.

Anne wriggled her body last night her sleep was very deep as soon as her sense of smell felt a smell of food that managed to invite hunger in her stomach.

"Who's cooking this morning, don't tell me Darren's cooking?" he said that he went straight down from his bed and approached the fragrant source of the food.

"Good morning, Miss Anne, I've made breakfast for us fried rice with a smiley egg that I made especially for you" she said with enthusiasm while inviting Anne to sit down.

"It's your way of persuading me huh?" he said and instantly Darren blinked his eyes.

"Well, this is all I can do, I don't have enough money to buy flowers or ask you out for dinner at the most expensive restaurant" she said, who now touched Anne's feelings.

"Huh you make me feel pity Mr. Darren but it's okay this fried rice is enough to make my mood quite improved," he said as he devoured Darren fried rice that felt quite salty.

"How does Anne feel? If it's not good you shouldn't go on," Anne shook her head as to where she might have wasted the food, she thought getting the food was easy.

"Like eating sea water but lucky eggs managed to make it saved," the meaning of the word Anne just fried rice is quite salty but the eggs feel bland, so both can still be enjoyed.

Anne patted the empty space beside her telling Darren who kept silent to eat with her and when for the first time Darren ate his food it was successful to make his eyeballs jump out.

"Haha.. Delicious not your fried rice, Mr. Darren,"

"Anne's had enough, don't you eat" he said, taking Anne's plate but the master stopped him.

"Hey what you're doing I'm eating, whether it's delicious or unpleasant we should keep eating it..,"

"Don't you know a lot of people out there are holding back their hunger just because they can't buy food and you want to waste it." the return that managed to make Darren feel stunned women really appreciate it, he is not wrong if he admires it.

Now Darren knows the taste of eating food that he thinks is not worth to enjoy even though this food is homemade, since childhood he never felt this kind of distress, he said, various delicious food every morning will always be in the dining table and when dinner time arrives he used to always waste his mother's food even he chose to live alone in his apartment but time this Darren now knows what it's like to eat with salinity.

"You crying? Do you really not like your homemade fried rice," asked Anne who saw the man's eyes begin to look in the mirror as Darren shook his head.

"I love it, wasn't it fried rice I made it, thanks Anne."

"For?"

"Thank you for enjoying this fried rice filled with sea water" he said, but his eyes could not lie if the man was holding back his grief.

Anne knew that the man must be trying hard to accept everything he was in right now, this is all because if only Darren was not stubborn and chose it maybe the man could still relax in the air-conditioned room and enjoy his breakfast with all the delicious food.

This afternoon Anne received an email from someone she did not recognize but because of the intention of the person who said if she saw the company Great AND Enterprises listed in the tender competition it managed to make her interested and want to listen to a direct explanation of what the new idea of the company is, so now Anne is in a VVIP Restaurant ordered by the owner of the email.

"Good afternoon, Miss Anne, introduce me to Shen's secretary and the President's confidant" said the woman, who is now accompanying Anne in the room.

"Good afternoon secretary Shen," he said respectfully.

"Sorry Miss President seems to be experiencing traffic jams on the road, but I am sure in 10 minutes she will come soon" he said.

"It's fine that my secretary Shen will be waiting for her," secretary Shen smiled amiably at seeing Anne's hospitality to her.

Anne could see that Shen's secretary was a very good career woman who could become a confidant of the President. He was increasingly curious who the President who hid his senses even asked him to come alone and explain about his company directly to him.

Time was running out and finally ten minutes later the President intended Secretary Shen he came along with some of his aides.

"Hallo Miss Anne is happy to see you again" said he, sitting in front of Anne, who was now flabbergasted to see her.

"Mr Jackson," he said, who was completely distrusted if the man who invited him to meet was Jackson, the father of Darren.

"You're surprised to see me, Miss Anne? You don't have to be surprised just calm down" Anne was still kept silent as to what she had to say now.

"I'm sorry to have Secretary Shen send you an email because I'm sure if I had sent it straight you wouldn't want to see me." she said, smiling sweetly.

It is fitting that the email pengerim asked him to come alone and it turns out that the one who invited him to meet was Jackson.
