"I am here Aunty," Dave shouted right after leaving the room.

One of her hands gripped Anna's, walking ahead as if leading his mother.

Naila looked up and the next second the girl smiled.

"Anna, you're awake."

"Um, as you can see," replied Anna and then went down the stairs with Dave.

"You don't need to do anything today, I've finished all the housework, also cooked for you. Eat, it's already noon," said Naila.

"Why not just leave it for me? I can still do everything Naila."

"No problem," said Naila curtly.

Today Anna didn't have any schedule, she decided to accompany Dave to play until the afternoon, then shop for things they might need for the next few days.

The door to the room suddenly opened, distracting a man's focus.

"Can you just disappear from this earth?"

"Tsk tsk, you're so mean to me, Devan. Can't you be a little nicer to this cousin of yours?"

Yes, they were Leo and Devan, the man decided to come into the office today, and Leo again appeared suddenly making him feel uncomfortable.

"I'm busy," said Devan back to focus on the monitor screen in front of him.

"I'm busy too."

"Then get out, and stop hanging around my office," Devan replied without taking his eyes off him.

Leo chuckled at his cousin's words, he then laid his body relaxed on the sofa.

"Last night Aunt Seira called me, she asked how you were," Leo began.

Devan frowned faintly when his mother's name was called, even so, he still chose to remain silent and didn't respond.

"Looks like she'll be coming to visit shortly."

"If that's all you're going to say, you'd better go. I don't have time to hear your ramblings."

"Listen to me first Devan, what I say might affect your life later," Leo replied in a serious tone.

"Is that true?" Devan suddenly stopped his activities and then looked at Leo with a look that seemed to say 'what thing can change my life?'

"I'm serious Devan."

"Say it and get out," Devan replied curtly.

Leo chuckled, "You remember Byanca?"

For a moment Devan was silent, of course, he still remembers the woman.

Seeing his cousin's response, Leo continued again, "Aunt Seira is coming with Byanca, and maybe you know the meaning of their arrival, don't you?" Leo asked again.

Devan was frozen to the spot. Byanca is his childhood friend, they are very close, it's just that for a reason and also the woman's departure to Australia to take care of her father's business made their relationship strained and until now they never communicate again.

Their parents were very close, even with Leo's parents, and maybe for that reason, Devan and Byanca were set up since childhood.

Yes, to be honest, Devan had a relationship with Byanca for several years, but their relationship ended when Devan caught the woman cheating just the day before her departure abroad.

Disappointed? Of course, and that's what causes Devan to vent his disappointment by playing with lots of women.

Of course before Anna's presence.historical

And now, that woman wants to come back again? Devan will not accept her that easily. The trash he had thrown away, he couldn't take it back, right? Seeing Devan's silence, Leo took a deep breath.

"If you don't want to be entangled with this matchmaking again, forget about Anna and find another woman who can be a reason for you to refuse this matchmaking," Leo suggested. He knew very well how his cousin's love life was.

"There's no need to do that, I can reject her straight away," Devan replied lightly.

"And ruin the old people's friendship? Refusing without having a clear reason is certainly not an easy thing for them to accept, even though you have a reason but it won't necessarily cancel this matchmaking, especially if you just refuse it."

"I don't care," Devan replied simply.

Leo sighed harshly, "Didn't Aunt Seira contact you?" Leo asked curiously.

"I rejected her."

"As I thought, it's appropriate for her to call me and ask about you," Leo replied.

"Are only the two of them coming?"

"It seems that my parents will also visit, two days ago my mother called, although she didn't say it directly, but hearing her speak, I can tell that they will also come shortly."

"Looks like they will talk about your matchmaking further, especially now that considering your age, you should already have grandchildren," Leo added and then burst out laughing but was immediately rewarded with a glare from Devan.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," Leo said.

"Can't you just have a serious talk for a day?"

"When will they come?"

Leo shrugged, "Next week, but I don't know when exactly, Auntie will call me later," Leo replied.

Hearing Leo's words, Devan didn't say much and seemed to be thinking.

"As a man, I know how you feel, Devan. If you need something, you can ask me for help," Leo said again sighing.

"Okay, then I want you to do one thing for me," Devan said seriously.

"What is it? What? Tell me?" Leo's response was enthusiastic because this was the first time Devan had asked him anything.

"I want you to get out of here now. I'm busy," said Devan and looked back at the computer screen.

Leo chuckled hearing his cousin's words.

"So mean. You're so mean to me, Devan," Leo replied in an artificially sad tone.

"Get lost."

"With your attitude like this, even marrying Byanca, I think that woman will only last one day and has asked you for a divorce," Leo replied with a crisp laugh as he walked towards the door. But the next second..

"Aww.." A shoe suddenly flew over his head.

"Devan, this hurts. Don't you feel sorry for me? What if I get hurt?" Leo said as he grabbed Devan's shoes which were lying on the floor.

"I'm even very happy if you die," Devan replied in a flat tone.

"Tsk, then I'll bring these shoes as a gift from you," Leo replied then walked out of there with one hand holding his cousin's shoe.

Devan who saw Leo's behavior took a deep breath, he then grabbed his cellphone and called Hendra.

"Hello, sir."

"Bring me a pair of shoes," Devan ordered.

"Yes sir."

Just said that, and Devan ended the call.

Drrtt... Drrtt..

After a few minutes, his phone vibrated.

"How?" Devan precedes.

"I have sent all the information you requested two days ago to your email, sir."

"Good."

"I'll send you a bonus," Devan added again while checking his email on the computer.

"Thank you, sir." And after that, the call ends.

While on the other hand, Leo who came out of Devan's room immediately threw the shoe in his hand on Clarissa's desk, and of course, surprised that secretary.

"That's for you, from me," he said as he walked away, leaving a huge confusion and a question mark in her mind.
