"Are you sure about your decision?"
"Yes, I'm sure Sir. As long as Mr. Nanda will also keep your promise not to disturb Mr. Darma's company again and will return the Darmajaya group to the way it was before."
"You are aware of our agreement right? You have to leave your boyfriend Al and belong to--"
"I know Sir. I will not change my mind."
"Okay deal !" Nanda pointed his hand forward to shake hands with Dera in agreement.
Dera took Nanda's hand and shook hands with him.
Now they are officially in a relationship as a couple. Although the relationship began only with an agreement. Love is only on Nanda's side. Right now, of course, Dera doesn't have any feelings for Nanda. Dera did this deal just to save Al's family company.
°°°
The day after their agreement, Dera was now in Nanda's room because Nanda had just called her.
"Dera, come in!"
"What is it, Mr. Nanda, calling me here?"
Nanda never answered Dera's question, instead he got up from his chair and started to get closer to Dera. Nanda hugged Dera from behind and put his head close to Dera's ear. Dera was very uncomfortable with Nanda's treatment like that.
"Mr. Nanda, what do you want Sir? Please let me go!"
"Dera darling, I miss you. That's why I called you here." whispered Nanda in Dera's ear.
"Sir, please don't be like this! This is in the office."
"I know this is an office, Dera. So what's the problem? This is my room and this is my office, I'm free to do whatever I want here."
"But Sir--"
"Yes, dear?"
"Mr. Nanda, we--"
"Sssttt... Darling, you don't need to be afraid or worried. I will make this one office know about our relationship. No one will dare to mess with you. You are mine, Dera!"
Nanda tightened his embrace, Dera could feel Nanda's breath on her neck and ears.
"Mr. Nanda..." Dera was still trying to get away from Nanda.
"Hmm, one more thing honey. If we're just the two of us, just call me Nanda. Okay?"
"..."
"Okay darling?"
"Um y-yes Sir."
"Nanda!"
"Yes, I mean Nanda."
Nanda gave Dera a brief kiss on the cheek.
When Nanda started to let his guard down, finally Dera was able to break free from Nanda. She turned around so that she was now facing Nanda.
"Mr. Nanda, er, I mean Nanda..."
"What is it, honey?" Nanda started stroking Dera's long black hair.
"You haven't forgotten your promise, have you?"
"Which promise Dera?"
"Nanda!!"
"Gosh, about the Darmajaya group ? Don't worry honey. I've never broken a promise. Just wait, tomorrow all the news will broadcast again about the rise of the Darma company."
"Are you serious?"
"Yes honey. You don't believe me?"
"Ehh I believe Sir, uh emm Nanda."
Nanda hugged Dera again.
Meanwhile Dera was still struggling with her thoughts. How will she face Al later. How will Al react when he finds out about her relationship with her CEO.
---
Nanda and Dera had just finished a meeting with a client from Australia. Now they were alone in the meeting room. When Dera wanted to go out first, Nanda pulled Dera's hand so that Dera's steps were stopped.
Because of Nanda's sudden pull, Dera fell into Nanda's arms. Now they meet.
"Sir??"
"Nanda-darling!"
"Nanda, you--"
"Sshhh, honey! You have to get used to being close to me like this."
"Nan--" Dera's words stopped when Nanda brought their faces closer. Nanda's hand stroked Dera's cheek gently.
"Honey, accompany me for lunch!"
"Um uh yes Nanda."
Nanda and Dera have lunch together. Nanda invited Dera to go to a restaurant that was quite luxurious. Dera felt uncomfortable because the people there kept looking at Nanda and her.
"Why are you Dera?"
"No, it's okay."
"Okay, let's order food now!"
After their orders came, they both focused on their food. No one intends to start a conversation.
After eating, they will return to the office. Now they are both in Nanda's car on the way.
"Dera... Shall we go back to the office now? Thank you for wanting to have lunch with me."
Feeling that he didn't get a response from Dera, Nanda turned to Dera. Dera was seen daydreaming while staring at the car window. Nanda, who felt neglected, tried to grab Dera's hand and hold it tightly.
"Darling!"
Dera was surprised, her thoughts were broken. She also turned to Nanda while responding, "Yeah Al ..."
Dera woke up. She just realized that now beside her is not Al but Nanda, the CEO. She had probably been thinking about Al so now she mispronounced someone's name.
Nanda, who heard his lover call him by someone else's name, looked so emotional. His anger was restrained.
"I'm Nanda, not Al, honey !!"
"Sorry Nanda! I--"
Nandini turned his gaze forward. He accelerated his car. Dera was very scared, she didn't want Nanda and herself to get hurt because of Nanda's current emotions.
Dera was even more confused and scared. Because the direction of Nanda's car now is not heading to the office. Dera did not know the way to which she was passing.
