Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 34 - 34. Price For An Explanation



"Is it because I didn't answer your call, so you sent me spam..." Devan's words hang right after seeing the contents of the message.

Only a few seconds later, he put his phone back in his pants pocket while trying to normalize his expression.

"Granny, it's getting late. You'd better go home. The night wind is not good for your health," said Devan, approaching the old woman and sitting there.

"I just arrived a few minutes ago, and you already asked me to go home? I haven't even done anything here yet," Mrs. Raina replied.

"Grandma did a great job earlier," Leo chimed in but was immediately rewarded with a sharp glare from Devan so the man fell silent again.

"Next time, Devan will pick up you, Granny, at that time you can do whatever you want," said Devan trying to persuade Mrs. Raina.

The old woman was silent as if in thought, considering her grandson's words.

"I promise, Granny."

"Okay. So I'm going home now?"

"I will ask Hendra to take you," said the man while nodding.

"But you must remember your promise to me."

"Of course Granny, Devan will do it."

"I'm the witness," Leo said again but was ignored.

A few minutes later, Hendra entered that white house, "Hendra, tidy it after dropping Grandma off," Devan said when he saw his private driver heading for the chaos that could be seen filling the kitchen.

"Yes sir." And after that, he and Mrs. Raina said goodbye and entered the car that was parked in the yard, precisely in a garage that had been provided there.

"I want to go home too," Leo said.

"No, you stay here."

"Huh? For what?" Leo asked nonchalantly. Now they are both standing in front of the house.

"Grandma, be careful," Leo shouted again as Hendra's car started to accelerate.

"I'm home, Devan," Leo said again and started walking, but stopped when his wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind.

"Come on," said Devan, pulling his cousin's arm into the house and locking the door tightly.

"Devan, what are you doing? Let go of my hand," Leo said but Devan ignored him. The man then pulled him to the sofa and sat there.

"Why do I feel this atmosphere is like a couple wanting to make love?" Leo said again.

"Now, explain this," Devan pleaded right after taking out his phone and showing Leo some photos.

Looking at the photos, Leo froze on the spot. How could he forget what he did just a moment ago? So Devan kept him in this house just because of those pictures?

"What?"

"How did you get this photo?"

"Who is that man?"

"Since when did you two meet?"

"And who is the little boy with them?"

"No, no, forget it, I mean why did you send it to me?" Asked Devan over.

Hearing all of his cousin's questions, Leo took a deep breath. "Sit down first. And ask what you want to ask," he said.

"Answer me," said Devan curtly.

"Which one?" Leo asked again.

"I don't like repeating my sentence Leo, you know that very well."

"All right, all right. Then don't look at me like that, and sit down."

"I'm just asking you to answer, not asking you to order me," replied Devan in his trademark flat and cold tone of voice, even though he said like that, but he followed his cousin's words, sitting on the sofa opposite Leo.

Seeing Devan's behavior, Leo just chuckled on the spot.

"You want to know?" Leo asked starting.

Devan did not respond, the man was just silent.

"You know, nothing is free in the world..."

"What do you want?" asked Devan immediately cut off Leo's words.

Leo smiled happily at his cousin's question, "What do I want? Are you sure you can fulfill it?"

"Say it, I don't like small talk, Leo..stop playing around."

"All right, all right. How about accompanying me on a blind date?"

"No. Instead you can choose my latest collection of Ferrari."

"No, No," Leo refused while waving his index finger. Devan is very rich, he will not ask for things related to the cousin's property.

"I'm not interested in your treasure Devan, I'm just asking for a few minutes of your time to accompany me. The woman I wanted to meet asked me to bring another friend, and I didn't know who to invite."

"Invite Hendra."

"And people will think that I brought my father?"

"That's none of my affairs," said Devan curtly.

"Okay, then there's no explanation about the photo and I will just go home," Leo said then rose from his position.

"Ask me another one. Not that one," said Devan immediately.

"I don't want anything else, Devan. I just want that," Leo replied.

"What happened to you? If you want a woman you just have to go to the club and let your money work there, as is your custom."

"Tsk, I'm bored."

"I want to try something else," Leo added.

Devan was silent on the spot, seemed to be thinking about something. Now, He wanted to curse his messengers. The photos should have been sent by them, not his cousin 'Leo' who discovered the woman's whereabouts and ended up like this.

"Okay. But I will only accompany you for ten minutes," said Devan.

"Twenty minutes."

"No."

"Eighteen minutes."

"No."

"Come on Devan. Just being with me a few minutes won't hurt you."

"Fifteen minutes," Devan offered.

"All right. Fifteen minutes. The time will take effect from the blind date starts. Ok?" said Leo.

"Now explain," Devan said again, ignoring what Leo had said to him.
