Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Anna blushed again without realizing it. Realizing her thoughts and feelings were acting up again, she shook her head and tried to make up her mind. That the man she was with right now belonged to another woman.

"Why are you shaking your head, don't you like it?" asked Devan when he saw Anna.

"No, no. It's not like that," replied Anna in that instant. She then grabbed the sausage in front of her then dipped it in the mayonnaise sauce.

"Can I eat this?" she asked.

"Wait!" prevented Devan with one hand holding Anna's arm.

"Give it to me," said Devan grabbing Anna's hand which was holding a sausage skewer.

"It's still hot, Anna. Your tongue will scald if you eat it right away," he added as he blew on the sausage, looking like he was trying to cool it down.

Again, Anna was stunned by Devan's treatment of her, making her reflexively look at the man's face without realizing it.

Devan who felt Anna's gaze on him just kept quiet and pretended not to know, until a few minutes passed, "Do you like my face that much?" Asked Devan on the sidelines of his activity, which was still blowing the sausage in Anna's hand.

Immediately Anna realized and shifted her gaze to another direction, pulling her hand away from Devan's grasp. "Th-thank you," Anna stuttered a little then started eating the sausage in her hand.

Devan just nodded, then poured water for Anna. "Eat slowly and this is water for you," said Devan placing a glass of mineral water in front of Anna.

Anna nodded, then looked around.

"Why is it only the two of us eating?" Asked Anna with a frown when she saw Hendra and the man whose name she didn't know was still in front of the grill.

"So why? This is for you, not for the others," replied Devan.

Hearing that, Anna put the sausage in her hand onto the small plate in front of her, then stood up from her position.

"Mr. Hendra, come and join us," said Anna inviting the middle-aged man who was still standing behind Devan.

"N-no Miss, thank you, I'm full," replied Hendra.

Anna shook her head while taking a deep breath, the woman then walked to the back and pulled Hendra's hand to the remaining empty seat.

"N-no Miss. You don't have to do this," Hendra stammered reluctantly, afraid that he would be considered rude by Mr. Devan.

"You sit here," said Anna right after arriving at an empty chair not far from her place.

"No, Miss, this chair is not suitable for me," said Hendra, still standing, looking very reluctant to sit down.

"Sit down and follow her," suddenly came Devan's voice.

"Okay sir, I apologize beforehand," said Hendra slowly sitting up with a very stiff movement.

"Why does Mr. Hendra have to apologize? Just sitting down won't hurt anyone else," said Anna, then took some sausages and grilled meat along with some other snacks and brought them to the middle-aged man.

"No-Miss..." Hendra's words trailed off when he saw Mr. Devan nod.

"Yes, Mr. Hendra must eat this too," said Anna.

"Th-thank you, Miss."

"Um, can I ask you something?" Anna asked the middle-aged man, making a Devan raise one of his eyebrows.

"Please, what is it, Miss?"

"What's the name of the man grilling over there?" Anna asked in a slightly whispering voice but still managed to reach Devan's listeners.

"Oh, so you asked Hendra to join just because you wanted to ask the man's name?" Devan chimed.

Hearing Devan's voice, Anna turned her head. "So why? I just wanted to invite him to join, the food here is more than enough for the four of us," replied Anna.

"If you call him too, who will grill the meat? Right now I'm very hungry, and maybe all the food on this table won't be enough," Devan said in one breath.

Hendra, who was already holding the sausage skewer, put it back in its original place when he heard Mr. Devan's words.

"No problem, I can bake it for you," replied Anna.

And the woman's words managed to make Devan silent, but only a few seconds later the man said, "No, I will not let you do things like that, your hand is not healed Anna. I'll bake it myself," said Devan then got up from his position, walked to Anna, then grabbed the woman's arm and brought her back to the chair where she was original.

Without waiting for any response, Devan turned and walked towards Max who was still busy.

"You sit down, I'll take your place," said Devan making Max turn suddenly and freeze in place when he saw who was talking to him.

"S-sir..."

"Put it down and sit down," Devan pleaded.

"B-but sir..."

"I don't like repeating what I'm saying Max," Devan interrupted immediately.

"Y-yes sir," Max stuttered as soon as he put down the spatula and plate in his hand. Walking away while rubbing the nape of his neck, still couldn't find a common thread from Mr. Devan's sudden and unusual attitude.

"What happened?" Max asked right after he reached Hendra.

"Am I dreaming right now?" he added again then landed himself on the chair.

"Why? What do you mean? Why is your response a little weird?" asked Anna with a very clear frown.

"A-ah no Miss. Mr. Devan is okay. Only this man is strange, he is like this, very strange," Hendra replied quickly and his words managed to make Max glare at him.

Anna smiled, "So may I know your name?"

"You can call me Max, Miss."

"Okay, then nice to meet you, Max."

"Nice to meet you too, miss."

While on the other hand, Devan who was already standing in front of the grill felt a little strange, in each hand holding a spatula and an empty plate. His brow furrowed clearly when he felt that what he was doing right now seemed wrong.

Looking at Anna, Hendra, and Max who seemed to be talking to each other, Devan's facial expression turned sour. Immediately he placed the spatula and plate in each hand carelessly on the table next to the grill.

He wasn't the one who should be standing here, and it wasn't Hendra and Max who were supposed to be talking and telling stories to each other with Anna.

Ignoring the satay and a few sausages that were still on the grill, Devan turned and walked over to where Anna was. His pace was quick, and his arrival made Anna and the other two men turn their heads towards him.

Without making a sound, Devan sat back in his original position.

"What happen?" asked Anna, frowning.
