"What do you mean? Also, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me in the car?" replied Aaron with a furrowed brow.

"You have misunderstood, sir. Sorry in advance if all this makes you feel uncomfortable," said Hendra and made the man even more confused.

"What do you want to say?" Aaron asked.

"First, I want to apologize to you, sir," Hendra began. The man lowered his gaze, trying to maintain his stance in front of Aaron.

"Mr. Devan asked us to look after Claire as well as you," he added.

"I never thought that you would notice our existence. We apologize if it made you feel uncomfortable."

"These people are Mr. Devan's subordinates, sir. You don't have to worry."

Aaron fell silent hearing that, he averted his eyes and looked around. Several men in black uniforms who entered his view immediately bowed in respect.

"Is that true?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, that's right, sir. I can vouch for it, trust me. Besides, I can't lie to you," Hendra replied.

Instantly a sigh could be heard escaping from between Aaron's lips. "Looks like my worries were in vain," he muttered.

"Well, convey my thanks to Mr. Devan," he said again.

"Yes sir. I will tell him," replied Hendra.

Aaron nodded then started walking.

"Sir..." Hendra said hanging. He didn't know whether to say this or not, he just followed his heart.

"Hmm? What is it? Do you have anything else to say to me?" asked Aaron, the man turned to face Hendra.

"Regarding Mr. Javier.."

"What's with that?" asked Aaron immediately interrupting the man in front of him.

"Forgive me. In the car earlier, I overheard your conversation with Miss Claire about Mr. Javier."

"Tell me. Don't beat around the bush," said Aaron.

"My apologies for saying this, sir. I know it's not my right to evaluate Miss Claire. It's just that I can't seem to calm down if I don't tell you this. After all, Miss Claire will soon be part of the Atmadja family," said Hendra, starting to explain.

"I know Miss Claire, I know a little about her, sir. Miss Claire is the type of person who doesn't want to trouble others, even if her life is in danger. Regardless of her relationship with other people, sometimes she likes to keep her problems to herself," he added.

Aaron just kept quiet and listened. Had no intention of interrupting the man's speech. "Continue," he said.

"So if you want to know Miss Claire's relationship with the Javier family, I suggest you contact Mr. Devan, sir. Maybe he can satisfy your curiosity," said Hendra.

"OK. Do you know when that guy has free time?" asked Aaron.

"I don't know, sir. But if you visit him, I don't think he will refuse your arrival. I think for this, you know better than anyone," replied Hendra.

Aaron was silent hearing Hendra's words, thinking about the man's words.

"It's noon, if you want to visit him, I can take you to the office, sir," said Hendra.

But Aaron immediately shook his head. "Not. I'm not going there now. Let him finish his work. I don't want to bother him. He'll come later, I'll just wait for him at the hotel," Aaron replied.

"Okay, sir."

"You can go now," Aaron said.

"You're not going, sir?" asked Hendra.

"I'm tired. You can go now," Aaron replied.

"Yes sir. If you need anything, call me," said Hendra.

"Thank you, Hendra."

"No problem, sir. I just did what I was supposed to do," the man replied.

The sound of tapping footsteps echoed down the corridor. Devan had just finished chairing a meeting, and now he wanted to go back to his room.

"Finish it as soon as possible, and give it to me before going home later," said Devan to his secretary before entering the room.

"Okay, sir. I'll finish as soon as possible," Clarissa replied while nodding her head.

Since yesterday, all employees were shocked by the news in the media. No one ever thought that their boss would enter into an engagement with another woman. A woman who is very famous among the office cleaners.

Especially Clarissa, the woman still clearly remembers how she met Anna who turned out to be the only daughter of a wealthy family. The woman regretted ever treating Anna badly.

Even though the news had spread, no one dared to talk about it around Devan. The previous incident was enough to remind them not to talk carelessly.

Leaning back in his chair, Devan relaxed his muscles. He is very tired, since this morning he has not rested at all. Even during breaks, he still completes many files that require his signature, then resumes it with division meetings.

A tired sigh sounded from between his lips, reached into his shirt pocket, he took out a flat object from there. At the same time, the phone in his hand vibrated, Hendra's name appeared on the screen. Devan immediately answered.

"Sorry to interrupt your time, sir," said Hendra from across the phone.

"Say, what's wrong? Did something happen?" asked Devan, sitting up straight.

"It seems that Mr. Aaron and Miss Claire met Mr. Javier earlier, sir."

"What?" Devan immediately stood up from his position, looking very panicked.

"Don't worry, sir. They didn't do anything. If I hear Mr. Aaron's words, it seems that the Javier family didn't do anything bad with them, sir," said Hendra immediately.

"Where are Claire and my son now?" he asked.

"Miss Claire and Young Master have returned to the hotel, sir. Right now, they are in the room," answered Hendra.

"Mr. Aaron also doesn't know how Claire's relationship with that family, sir. Miss Claire didn't say anything to her uncle. So I suggested him to meet you, sir. I'm sorry," said Hendra.

"Does not matter. You did the right thing, Hendra. No need to apologize," Devan replied.

"Then where's Mr. Aaron?" ask again.

"He's in his room, sir. Waiting for your arrival," answered Hendra.

"Alright, keep them safe. Don't be careless a bit," said Devan.

"Ah, one more sir. Mr. Aaron already knows about our existence."

"What did he say?"

"Nothing sir. He just wanted to thank you for sending so many people to look after Claire and Dave," replied Hendra.

"OK.. Continue your work," said Devan then ended the call.
