Tough girl in novel

*Episode 32

Ignoring the woman who had just been throwing a tantrum, Arkan immediately pulled Mary's hand away from the place. As for Mary, she did not argue at all, nor even speak a word. He instead acted resignedly by following Arkan's steps as much as possible.

However, before actually leaving the place, Maria had seen the angry expression that the woman showed. Instead of being afraid, Maria was pleased with the expression she was showing.

They finally reached the restaurant next to the office. Arkan still held Maria's hand even though they had entered the restaurant full of visitors.

Small whispers are inevitable. Those who saw Arkan holding women's hands in public also immediately gossiped as they pleased.

"Sir Arkan took a woman's hand to a restaurant? Hey ... Try my cheek slap now! If this is a dream, then I'll wake up." One of the women spoke to her friend while looking at Arkan and Maria.

"Stupid! You are not a dream. That's Arkan sir and the girls. Mm ... I heard, now Mr. Arkan already has a fiancee. And, maybe what he's holding is his fiancee" replied another.

"I heard that rumor too. But, all I know is that her fiance Arkan is not this pretty. Because people say, the fiancee of Arkan sir is fond of grooming and menor, spoiled, continue .. plain pretentious is also very careless. But, the lady of the cake is not."

"What are you talking about?" ask a woman who just arrived. He who did not know anything, immediately sat on one of the desks that were still empty by showing his curious face.

"That's right .. Arkanza sir is sitting at the same table with a beautiful woman." One of the women said. The others exchanged looks.

"Rpa ... Are you sitting down to eat with women? That's right," said the woman in disbelief. Behind that tone of disbelief, there was an annoyed and quite disappointed tone that the woman was hiding.

She was one of the managers who worked for the Arkan company. He's been trying to steal Arkan's attention for a long time. But unfortunately, the effort he did always failed, aka no one succeeded.

Elsa the woman's name. He's been working for a few years on his best performance. In hopes, he can steal the little heart that Arkan has. But baby, let alone stealing a little Arkan's heart. Just seeing her heart Elsa couldn't.

Arkan is too difficult for women to conquer. Either because he is not interested, or maybe because he already knows that his life has been arranged by his parents. Hence, he was lazy to take pains to sow love.

Elsa looked in the direction that the woman was looking at out of curiosity. Withholding a jealous heart he tried to be strong.

"What's so strange about Mr. Arkan sitting at a table with a woman? I think ... Nothing is wrong" said Elsa trying to strengthen her heart with what she saw.

"Aduh .. There is nothing strange if you just sit at a table. But, Arkan sir came here with that woman."

"Yes. Pak Arkan with the same woman. I think .. that woman is Arkan's fiancee, deh. You see, all this time right .. Pak Arkan has never been close to any woman."

Hearing the words of the fiancee, Elsa's jealous face became more visible. Although he tried to hold back, but still, the look was engraved very clearly by itself.

Some women who knew about Elsa's feelings for Arkan, chose to leave immediately after lighting a fire. Not really responsible one bit. After lighting the stove, uh instead let the stove light up without trying to extinguish.

After the women's departure, only Elsa and one of her best friends remained. The friend and assistant he had while he worked in Arkan's office. It is known, the assistant named Rika always supports every effort Elsa in pursuing Arkan.

"Sa. You're not papa, are you? Are you all right now?" rika asked while touching Elsa's shoulder slowly.

The one asked instead of answering, but instead gave a sharp look filled with pain. As if understanding what her best friend was feeling, Rika gently stroked the shoulder she touched earlier.

"Sa, I heard, Mr. Arkan doesn't like his fiancee. She was engaged at the request of her parents only. Not pure desire of his heart at all. You know, don't you? Mr. Arkan can deny what both his parents say."

Elsa still doesn't budge. He still remained him while tightly grasping the hand he had placed on the table.

"Some of it, Sa. From the news I heard, the fiancee of Arkan sir is nothing if compared to you. She's a very weak woman. No grip at all. Only strong and always sheltering behind a friend who is always there where he goes. She was also a very careless spoiled woman. If you want to get rid of him, then it won't be difficult for you, Elsa."

Like a light in the middle of darkness. Those words suddenly stirred up the spirit in Elsa's heart. He looked at Rika with a confident look.

"It's exactly what you said, Rika. He's just an unwanted fiancee to Arkan sir. His presence was only due to coercion from both parents Arkan sir. Perhaps, because of that too Mr. Arkan tried to shut himself off from all women. Because he didn't want to let his parents' hearts down."

"Mm. .. I'll help Mr. Arkan get out of his way now. I'm going to get that weak and careless spoiled woman away from Arkan as far as possible. That way, Pak Arkan can be free from parental coercion, also free to have any woman he wants."

"Not any woman, Elsa. Because according to me, the one who fits with Arkan sir is just you. From the physical, you are perfect. From science to education, you are amazing. So, you guys are so compatible. One hundred percent." Rika again said the words that made Elsa's heart soar high into the air unattainable again.

Elsa responded to those words with a sweet smile full of confidence. Then then, he got up from his seat while reaching for one of the remaining glasses of mango juice one of the women who had previously eaten at the table.

Haven't had time to touch the juice glass, his hands were held by Rika. With a puzzled look, Rika looked at Elsa's face filled with confidence.
