The Secret of the Geeky Girl

CHAPTER 54 Lunch Together

Calvin sits opposite a woman who looks like the woman in the photo, only the woman in front of him is currently a version 10 years older.

"Well, I think the guy I'm going to meet is a more mature guy than I am, but it seems like my guess is wrong" said Celine.

Calvin smiled faintly, "it looks like I'm not your type, maybe we should end this blind date," said Calvin, who began to feel uncomfortable at the venue.

"Who said? it doesn't seem to hurt if I try to get into a relationship with a leaner," Celine smiled flirtatiously, leaving Calvin shuddering in horror.

"Why mommy can find me a more mature date like this, which there will be a man in the evening aka men PEmuja waniTA mataNG," grumbled Calvin in the heart.

That afternoon, inevitably, like it or not, Calvin still accompanied the woman named Celine to lunch, while faithfully hearing the story of the woman who told more stories of her life experience.

After an hour of sitting with Celine with a million stories, Calvin returns to his room.

"How was the blind date, sir?" asked Dicky who was astonished by the facial expression of his boss like a crumpled paper.

"Don't ask that, which is clear that I was not on a blind date, but was following a study with the theme Life Experience of a tough woman," he said with a flat face like a wall.

"Huhahahah," Dicky's laughter broke out instantly. He who had always wanted to keep his attitude in front of a friend who was now his boss could not help but laugh. However, not finished laughing, Calvin threw the pen cap at him and landed right inside his mouth, making Dicky's laughter stop instantly.

"Rasain, next time I'll set up a blind date for you with that woman so you know what it's like to be in my position" Calvin said.

"Sorry boss, but that's never going to happen because I already have a boyfriend, blind dates are only for singles like you" Dicky said, laughing again, while Calvin could only snort angrily at the sight of Dicky who was laughing over his suffering.

--

Not felt, now the night began to spread its darkness throughout the city. Calvin walked into his house at a rapid pace, impatient to see his mother in protest about the incident.

"Where's the blind date, baby?" calvin's footsteps stopped in the living room when he heard the voice of Rossa who had been waiting for his arrival since.

"Mommy, mommy deliberately wanted to match me with a woman who is more mature than Calvin?" ask Calvin directly without further ado.

"more adult? isn't he still young?" this time Rossa asked again, he did not understand the meaning of Calvin's words.

"Yes mom, the photo that mommy sent was a photo of her 10 years ago" Calvin said. Rossa was silent for a moment while remembering something.

"Ah, mommy just remembered, mommy's friend was married young, she was married when she was Junior High, while mommy, married when she graduated college, hahaha," gelak Rossa who now understands Calvin's intentions. "I'm sorry dear mommy, next time mommy will find a younger one than that" Rossa continued on the sidelines.

While Calvin could only shake his head to see the mother who instead of feeling guilty laughing even laughed at her son.

One week later.

"Miss, soon the CEO of a company called CA Corp will come to discuss his plans for cooperation with this company" Lucy told Rachel.

"Well, please lead them straight to this room," said Rachel, who was still busy checking her files.

A few minutes later.

"Miss, they're here" Lucy said

After being invited, the CEO and secretary of the CA corp finally entered into the CEO space of Vera Solution.

"Good morning, my dear" said Rachel, who was suddenly shocked to see who was coming.

"Good morning, miss" said Dicky. While Calvin was also so shocked when he saw the figure of the woman before him at this moment, he just kept silent while looking at Rachel, who was just a little, the woman who is still faithful reigns in her heart despite not meeting for a long time.

"Please sit down" Rachel said, allowing them to sit on the sofa in the room.

They began to talk about their cooperation plan, Calvin so eloquently explained the material with English. Although both of them were both surprised by their meeting this time, they were both trying to be professional. Until not felt, their meeting that afternoon ended with a cooperation agreement marked by the signing of a contract.

"Thank you for taking your time for us, and before you leave, I would like to invite Miss Rachel to lunch with me this afternoon, it would be an honor to have the opportunity to have lunch with you?" calvin.

"All right, we're leaving now" Rachel replied.

Calvin and Rachel eventually set off together for one of the luxury restaurants not far from the company's location, while Dicky had gone back first to the hotel where they were staying. Now Calvin and Rachel sat facing each other in silence. No one dared to speak.

"Ekhem.. How are you?" calvin asked, who finally started to open the conversation.

"I didn't think you were living in America" Calvin said, only to be met with a smile by Rachel.

"Hmm, well I'm going to the point, are you married now?" ask Calvin.

"Not yet" replied Rachel briefly.

"If you have a lover?" ask Calvin to come back.

"No" replied Rachel again.

Calvin slowly gave a smile, somehow the number of times the thanksgiving was thrown in his mind at this time.

"Good," said Calvin later, making Rachel furrow her brows.

"What do you mean?" rachel asked confused.

"Good, because it means I still have a chance to chase you back" Calvin replied.

"Have you forgotten that between us there is a great wall in the way, we cannot possibly be united, you should just undo your intentions" Rachel said.

"There is no more wall that stands in my way, unless it comes from you" Calvin said.

"What do you mean?" Rachel is confused by Calvin.

Calvin slowly exhaled, "You know, my daddy passed away a year ago" Calvin said.

"What's? I-I'm so sorry, I'm sorry I didn't know that" Rachel said.

"Yes no problem. Before he died, he gave me a final message, apologizing for his mistake in making your parents die, and also for the fraud he committed against your father's company." Rachel momentarily bowed with teary eyes.

"Then" Rachel raised her face as Calvin's speech was interrupted.

"Then what?" ask Rachel.

"Then he told me to pursue your love if I truly love you" Calvin continued.

"Then?" ask Rachel.

"Then that's what I'm working on right now, I think yesterday you had a boyfriend, that's why I didn't go looking for you one year ago" said Calvin.

Rachel looked down again, but this time she looked down and put on a happy smile.

"So how do you feel about me? Is it still the same as it used to be?" ask Calvin then.

Hearing Calvin's question, the smile on Rachel's face disappeared, and a serious face appeared. "I'm sorry, I can't" he replied.

Calvin looked down lethargic, "i guessed it, maybe your love has been lost by time, it's been 4 years since you said that, I understand," said Calvin.

"No, it's not like that, there's actually something you should know first, and that's why I'm still putting up a wall between us."

"What's that?" ask Calvin.

"Actually, my father Edward is still alive,"

"What's? Don't your parents die?" asked Calvin in wonder.

Rachel also recounted the incident during the explosion at her home as Edward had told her.

Calvin was silent to listen to Rachel's story while also feeling sad about the incident, he did not expect the incident was worse than he expected.

"Sorry" said Calvin.

Rachel smiled, "i've been trying to make peace with that incident for a long time, I think I can forgive you and your daddy, because there's no point in keeping the hatred in your heart, just.-" Rachel paused, made Calvin raise his face to look at Rachel.

"Only, you have to meet with my father in person to convey that apology, as well as if you want to remove the barrier between us" Rachel continued later.
