Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 69 - 69. Misunderstanding



While Leo, who had arrived at the door, froze on the spot when his gaze found a woman who was very familiar to him.

"Devan, can you explain what this is to me?" said Mrs. Seira when she saw Devan walking towards her.

Devan did not respond to his mother, stepped past the three of them, then closed the door to his room tightly.

As for Byanca, the look on her face looks very pleasing to the eye. How can a woman be in her future husband's room? Even though while in Australia she always received news about that in the last few years Devan had no contact with anyone, and that was also what made her venture to come to Indonesia, meet and apologize to the man. With the hope that Devan forgives her and they can go back to how they used to be.

"Devan, who is that woman?" Seira asked holding Devan's arm tightly.

Being treated like that, Devan turned around and said, "It's not what you think, mom, let's go downstairs first, I'll explain it to you."

There was no response, they then followed Devan's words.

"I never thought I'd see something like this the first day I visited, is this your attitude behind Byanca?" Said Seira, even though Devan had not said anything.

"Mom, calm down. Let Devan explain, I am sure that Devan couldn't have the heart to do that, Mom," Byanca preceded Devan who wanted to speak up, trying to calm her future mother-in-law.

Devan glanced at Byanca with an inexplicable look, while Leo, since the moment he saw Anna in Devan's room, the man suddenly became silent and no longer excited as usual, just continued to stare at Devan intensely.

"Mom, calms down first," said Devan began to open his voice.

Mrs. Seira did not respond and just snorted.

"She is one of the cleaning services in my office, Mom," he continued.

"Lija, the maid who works in this house has returned to her hometown for a few months, I am lazy to find a replacement, so I asked Mrs. Lidya who is in charge of office cleaning to choose one of her workers, replacing Lija in this house for a while," Devan explained. Openly to his mother without hiding anything, although in some parts he lied a little.

"Then how could she be..."

"She fainted, because the air temperature was very cold, I asked Hendra to take her to the room," Devan interrupted immediately.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Hendra outside. I've told the truth. He's a nobody," he added.

"But isn't your attitude towards that woman a little too much?" Seira said occasionally glancing at Byanca, worried that she would be jealous. Until now, he still thought that Byanca and her son's relationship was still the same as before.

"Believe me or not, it's up to you, mom," replied Devan.

"I trust him, Mom. We should just forget about this matter, I am very sure that Devan can't lie to Mama," Byanca said again.

"Trust me, Mom. I have known Devan for a long time, and of course, I know very well what he's like, Ma," he added.

"Okay, since you said it, I will believe it," Seira replied to normalize her expression.

"Devan, you said earlier that the woman fainted? So how is she now?" asked Byanca turning to the man, suddenly changing the subject.

Devan who was spoken to just shrugged his shoulders.

"At least you call the doctor to check her, even though she's just a maid, but that doesn't mean you'll just let her condition," said Byanca.

Devan didn't respond to the girl's words and just kept quiet, busy with his cellphone which had been in his hands since earlier.

Seeing Devan's response, Byanca looked back at Mrs. Seira with a smile that never left her lips.

"Do you have any doctor acquaintances here, Mom?" she asked.

"For what, honey?" Seira returned the woman's smile.

"I want to ask her to come here and check on the maid's condition, Mom," Byanca replied.

Seira's smile grew wider when she heard the words of her future daughter-in-law, Byanca is not only beautiful but also has a good attitude, and as a future mother-in-law, she is very proud.

"Did you forget that I am also a Doctor?"

"Of course not, Mom. How could Byanca forget? I wish it was another doctor, Mom. You just arrived after a long journey, I don't want you to be tired," replied Byanca in a very soft voice.

"Did you hear that Leo? Even my daughter-in-law is more concerned with me than my son," said Seira, turning to look at the man for a moment.

Leo suddenly smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

Devan who heard their conversation chuckled.

"Okay, since you're worried about that woman, I will check her condition for you," said Seira again looking at Byanca.

"But, Mom..."

"Okay, don't worry. Just checking on her condition won't make me sick, honey," Seira interrupted, getting up from her position.

"Okay, I will accompany you upstairs," Byanca replied and immediately got a nod from the middle-aged woman.

"Give me the key!" Seira said holding out her hand to Devan.

Those who are spoken to are silent

"Where is your room key? Give it to me," said Seira again.

Hearing that, Devan reached into his trouser pocket, took the key out of it, and gave it to his mother.

And after that, Mrs. Seira and Byanca went to Devan's room where Anna was, leaving him with Leo in the living room.

A few minutes passed, no words were heard in the living room. It was very quiet as if no one was there.

"Stop looking at me like that," Devan suddenly said, breaking the silence without taking his eyes off the phone screen in his hand.

Leo chuckled "Is this why you asked me to prevent Aunt and Byanca from coming here?" Leo asked for the first time. Even though he already knew the answer to the question he was asking.

Devan didn't answer.

" Devan… I'm talking to you," Leo said again, his voice very serious.

Those who were spoken to remained silent did not budge.

"What you're doing is wrong," Leo said again.

"You can't hide it from me, Devan. I know you have feelings for Anna. I also know that you haven't been in a relationship with another woman because of Anna. I know everything."

"But that woman already has a husband and children, Devan. You have to be aware of that," Leo said again.

"I know," Devan replied simply.

"Then why is that woman in this house?"

"Did you think I would snatch Anna from her husband? Huh, am I that bad in your mind?" Devan replied looking at Leo with a sharp look.

"It's good that you're aware," Leo replied, still focusing on his cousin.

"I was just worried about you," he added.

"You should think about yourself, stop worrying about me," said Devan, returning his focus to his cellphone.

There was no reply from Leo, the man was silent.

"You'd better get rid of your cheap thoughts," said Devan when he raised his eyes again and met Leo's gaze who turned out to be squinting as if he didn't believe everything he said.
