Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

"Be careful," Claire said, and the woman's words had Aaron frozen to the spot.

"I'm just taking him to my room, Claire, I'm not going to kill him," Aaron replied then started to get up from his position, walking towards the bedroom door, he couldn't understand what was going on in Claire's mind, she asked Devan to be careful as if he would do something bad to the man.

Aaron took a shaky breath.

"Go to sleep, good night, honey," Devan said to Claire and then started walking, following Aaron out of the room.

Claire just nodded, escorted the two men to the door then closed it again and rested early.

Using the elevator, Aaron and Devan finally reached the third floor. No talk was heard. And that made the atmosphere awkward between the two.

"Sit down," Aaron said inviting Devan to sit on the sofa in the room.

"Thank you," Devan replied.

Aaron went to his chair behind his desk, silenced for a few minutes, and only played with his cellphone.

Being in such an atmosphere, Devan felt strange. He didn't know, two grown men in the same room without any discussion made it a little awkward.

Even so, he stayed where he was, waiting for Aaron to start the conversation. And all that time, Devan just leaned back on the sofa, trying to relax his body as much as possible.

It was the first time he was faced with a situation like this. During his life, he had never found someone who could dominate him. Whoever and whatever the status.

But with Aaron, he doesn't know what to do. Maybe because that man is Claire's Uncle? Let's say he is trying to maintain his image in front of the man.

Until a few minutes had passed, Aaron remained in his position not budging the slightest making Devan's patience almost run out.

"What did you want to tell me beforehand?" asked Devan at last.

Hearing that, Aaron raised his head and looked at the man.

"I sent a message, how about taking a look first?" replied Aaron, and it made Devan's brow furrow slightly.

'Message?'

'Is it at this distance that one still needs to text each other?' he thought.

Devan immediately checked his cellphone, saw some incoming messages from Aaron, he immediately opened it and found some news links there.

While on the other hand, Aaron looked at Devan unblinking, wanting to know the man's reaction when he opened the message he sent.

Frozen, like being struck by lightning, Devan's body froze on the spot after opening the link. It was news about his marriage to Byanca.

"Before marrying Claire, can you explain this to me?" Aaron asked after a few minutes had passed.

"Or are you just toying with my nephew?"

"I don't understand you at all Mr. Devan Atmadja. Do you have a fiancé, and still want to marry my niece? Aren't you too greedy?"

"Even your wedding is in two weeks, and you still make time to see my nephew?"

Devan didn't respond, his jaw clenched with anger, even one of his hands was clenched into a tight fist. And all of that did not go unnoticed by Aaron.

"Can you explain this to me?" asked Aaron again repeating the previous sentence.

Devan still didn't pay attention, instead, the man immediately stood up from his position, walked a little away, appearing to contact someone. His face flushed red.

Aaron didn't ask anymore and chose to be patient waiting for the man to finish his activities.

Ten minutes passed, and Devan returned to his original position. He took a deep breath and tried to be as relaxed as possible, but his anger still didn't go away.

"So can we continue the conversation earlier?" said Aaron, rising from his position and sitting on the sofa, right in front of the man.

"I don't know anything about the news," Devan finally said.

"Eh? Really?" Aaron's brow furrowed, trying to properly digest the words of the man in front of him.

"What the media reports is not entirely true, nor is it completely false," said Devan.

"You know what? You're making me even more confused. I haven't found the light at all about all your words," replied Aaron.

"Okay, looks like I have no other choice but to tell you everything," Devan said with a rough sigh. It turned out not only to Claire, but he also had to tell everything to Aaron, the Uncle of the woman he loved so much.

"Just tell me, I can hear it here," Aaron replied.

After that, Devan repeated everything he had told Claire today to the man. All without exception.

Until an hour passed, "And the news you saw earlier, I had no idea about it. But don't worry, this time I won't make Claire cry again. I made a promise to myself."

"That's how it has to be," replied Aaron.

"Do you have any further plans?" he asked again. Now that his curiosity was gone, hearing the man in front of him explain how their relationship was, Aaron could already guess that Devan's feelings were very deep for Claire.

However, he would not allow the man to continue his relationship with Claire if he still hadn't resolved his problems with his family.

"Looks like I can't keep my promise tomorrow," said Devan.

"Are you going back to Indonesia?" Aaron asked.

"Inevitably I have to go home, even though I still want to stay here a little longer," he replied while rubbing his face roughly.

"Why not do it tonight? You can take the Smiths' private jet," Aaron offered.

Hearing that, Devan was silent for a moment as if he was considering the offer.

"How? If you want it, I will ask the pilot to be ready," said Aaron again when there was no response from Devan.

"Thank you, maybe tomorrow, I want to meet with Claire before leaving."

"I refuse. I won't allow you to meet my nephew before settling your matters first. After all, you're not the only man who wants Claire, there are many if not hundreds. Aren't you worried about this? Just a minute delay, maybe you can lose her," Aaron replied at length in one breath. He was very sure, that Devan heard everything he said when he was in Claire's room a moment ago.

Hearing Aaron's words, Devan was stunned. Right, what Aaron said is true.

"Okay, I'm leaving tonight," he said accepting the man's offer.
