Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 13 - 13. Anna's Persistence



"Make food before going home," said Devan closing the bedroom door. He didn't even wait for the maid's response.

.

.

"Thank you," Anna said after quenching her thirst.

"I want to go home," she added again and then tried to stand up, but fell back into bed because of the feeling of dizziness that hit her head.

Seeing this, Devan turned and immediately left the room. It was heard that he called someone on the phone and then came back in and sat on one of the sofas in the same room as Anna.

"Rest, don't move much," said Devan while playing with his cellphone

"I want to work."

"Under these circumstances?" One of Devan's eyebrows rose.

"I'll lose all my work if I don't leave soon."

"I don't want to starve to death," she added

"Where are your parents?" Devan asked.

"I don't have anyone now," Anna squeaked but still managed to reach Devan's ear.

"You mean they've..."

"My mother died of cancer five years ago, while my father ... I don't know where that man is now," Anna interrupted. She didn't know why she told all about her family to the man.

"Didn't you already have that guy earlier?" Devan chuckles.

Anna immediately glared at the man with a look of disapproval.

"Don't mention it again. I don't like it."

"Why? If I look, you two seem to have a special relationship with each other," said Devan as he put down his phone.

Hearing that, Anna lowered her head. The girl's silence implied that she was very reluctant to discuss the man Devan was referring to.

"Well, forget and forgive me," Devan said then.

"So how was your job? Wasn't it supposed to be working this morning?"

Anna looked up, her eyes staring at Devan who was also looking at her at that time. "And because of you, I was fired," said the girl in a slightly hoarse voice.

"Huh? What did I do wrong?"

"No. Forget it," replied Anna rubbing her face, looking very frustrated.

Devan was curious about the girl who was leaning on his bed. But no matter how she tried to ask, Anna always refused to answer.

"Okay, it seems too much if I ask all about you, I'm sorry," said Devan. This was the first time for him to be curious about a woman.

"I have to work, no matter what happens," Anna said after a few minutes of silence. With very slow movements, the girl slowly rose from her position and stood up.

One of Dean's eyebrows rose. "Didn't you get fired?"

"I still have two jobs. No, maybe there's only one left because I'm here right now," Anna replied, trying to slowly walk towards the bathroom with her hands on the wall.

"How much work do you have?"

"None of your affairs."

"Are you thinking only work and work?"

"If I don't work, I can't eat, sir. Stop getting in my way, I could lose all my work if I stay here." Anna said with one hand holding her temple which started to throb.

Devan sighed harshly, didn't know how to answer, and just resigned himself to letting the girl do all she wanted.

Seeing the time showing at half-past six, Devan immediately left his room.

But his steps hadn't even reached the door, and the sound of someone falling from the bathroom made him turn around and run to the source of the sound.

"Anna, what happened?" shouted Devan from outside.

There was no sound from inside, making Devan panicked and banged on the door again.

While on the other hand, Anna who was in the bathroom was now sitting limply against the wall under the shower.

A few seconds ago, she tripped over her own feet and fell. Now her clothes are all wet even her body is cold, her initial intention was just to wash her face but who would have thought it would end like this.

A male voice coming from outside made her brows furrow. Very noisy, only adds to the dizziness in her head.

"You are very noisy. I am fine," she shouted, immediately stopping the man's action.

Devan who heard Anna's voice from inside didn't want to believe it, he immediately looked for a spare key to open the room.

Cekklekkk

The bathroom door opened, and a soaked Anna was sitting while leaning against the wall.

"Oh my god, Anna."

"I'm fine," Anna said in a very weak voice.

Devan did not pay attention to the girl's words, he immediately picked up Anna's tiny body and carried her to the bed, he didn't even care if the bed would get wet.

"Wait here, don't move." After placing Anna's body carefully, he left the room.

***

A few minutes had passed, Devan went back into his room to see how Anna was after her maid left. Yes, the man asked his housekeeper to change the clothes Anna was wearing with his new ones.

A tray of food with still billowing smoke lay on the nightstand right next to Anna.

The girl had changed clothes, wearing Devan's shirt. Even the sheets and blankets on the bed were replaced with new ones.

"Still thinking about working?"

"Maybe after a little rest, I'll be fine."

Devan sighed at Anna's words. Why is that girl so workaholic? Whereas her condition is like this.

"Whatever, but eat first," he said.

"I-I am...."

"Eat or I'll feed you," said Devan immediately.

Anna immediately grabbed the tray next to her and devoured the food that was prepared by the middle-aged woman who helped her change clothes a while ago.

"This is for you," said Devan approaching Anna after the girl finished her eating ritual.

"That is compensation from me," he continued.

"What's this?" asked Anna receiving a piece of paper that turned out to be a check with the face value of one hundred million printed on it.

"What does this mean?"

I told you it was compensation from me, didn't you say earlier that because of me you were fired? This is my way of being responsible."

"I would feel so sorry..."

"I refuse," Anna interrupted immediately. The reason she was fired was not entirely the man's fault, but purely from herself.

Then what makes her worthy of receiving a check with such a large amount. One hundred million? Even though the man was very rich, that didn't mean he had to squander money arbitrarily like this.

"It's not your fault. It was because of my stupidity and carelessness. take it back," said Anna, returning the check to its owner.

"Don't refuse or I will report you to the police for stealing my clothes," said Devan. Anna is the only girl who made him very strange. Because if he usually gives the money in any amount, the women will not refuse.

Even though it was very clear, that the woman in front of him was in dire need of money. Reject the check, if not weird then what?
