Chapter 80 - A Big Bait

If he really met Aruna this time, he believed he had to be ready to feel extreme pain someday, sooner or later it would happen. 

Aruna clearly didn't want it. That numb expression was genuinely terrifying similar to his mommy at that time, when the mother and son were both depressed.

Hendra's slow steps allowed the man's eyes to catch Aruna's light movements. The body language slowly showed the owner's feelings. 

From the back, side to unconsciously in front of Aruna, it was clear to read perfectly that Lesmana's daughter was restless, empty and desperate.

Aruna was shifting her phone screen without realising that Hendra was in front of him.

Hendra let the girl who was busy with herself. A moment later, Aruna quickly stood up, noticing Hendra's presence.

Aruna's deep gaze made him wobble. The CEO immediately took off his coat and buried Lesmana's tiny body in it. 

Hendra suddenly remembered how this girl helped him put on a coat when he left the study studio. 

The movement to tidy up Hendra's coat at that time now encouraged Hendra to straighten Aruna's hair.

"Are you okay?" Hendra's question was greeted by a nod.

"How about your business trip? It must be messy..??" Aruna asked.

"I don't know. I'll think about it later."

"Sorry..."

"No problem, I'm the boss anyway." Hendra grabbed Aruna's bag, put it on the left side and spontaneously grabbed the girl's body. He then tightly held her with his right hand.

They walked hand in hand down the hallway between the empty classes.

"Are you hungry?"

"Yes." Aruna replied.

"Since when?"

"Maybe from noon. Actually, I bought a meal earlier by Dea. But... I don't know, I just haven't had an appetite." They tried to get rid of the awkwardness.

.

.

Hendra surprisingly stopped. They were still going down three steps. But Hendra didn't move and didn't let Aruna move. She looked at the CEO with a confused expression. 

When Hendra put his other hand on Aruna's hip, he then pulled the girl's body closer, making her couldn't move.

For a moment, a breath like someone who was releasing fatigue can be heard.

"I don't like your kiss yesterday." The word that had slid from the blue-eyed man's mouth before grabbing Aruna's chin and forcefully sipping her lips.

Aruna tried to dodge the push but in vain. Hendra's posture was bigger and too strong than hers.

The cold CEO took off his coat and then whispered: "Apart from confirming your compensation yesterday, you also have to pay for what I did today."

And this man again grabbed Aruna's lips.

'You can give me a wound, but I know the antidote.'

This man's next lip movement was even more shocking.

Aruna didn't want to cry. She blankly stared the other side, looking for a damper from the crush in her chest.

This man's next lip movement was even more shocking.

Aruna didn't want to cry. She blankly stared the other side, looking for a damper from the crush in her chest.

Hendra was enjoying himself so much, and the girl began to not stand it. She was roughly biting Hendra's mouth, which was still sticking to her lips.

"Ou.. Ouch..." Hendra complained that it hurt him. 

The man immediately checked his lips. Fortunately, it didn't bleed.

"If not for that strange deal, I would have slapped you!" This girl was furious.

"Can you just behave like a normal human for once?" Aruna poured out her anger.

"Yes, I'm not normal. Any problem?" The man acknowledged the fact that Aruna uttered a sarcasm.

"Yes, it's really a problem because this abnormal person is my future husband!!" Aruna wiped her lips several times with the back of her hand.

Hendra smiled instead.

"Why are you smiling? Are you now satisfied to make me almost cry again?" Aruna just didn't know that this was the first time this man felt a woman's lips so deeply. 

Previously, he had kissed a woman and that was with Aruna. But he was limited to sticking to the reddish surface.

"Don't you realise!? you're almost driving me crazy." Hendra replied.

"Now we break even." The CEO added.

"It's almost crazy you say?? Tch, that's right... you're crazy!!"

'How could he who had come so charming suddenly become a trashman?!' Aruna left him, walking faster down the stairs.

Suddenly, the girl stopped. She just realised so many people were staring at her.

Hendra surprisingly took his coat from Aruna's back. The Wenceslas's heir fixed the way Aruna wore it. 

He used the oversized coat on Aruna's body to cover her head to the tiny body of his future wife. 

Hendra immersed Aruna in his arms, without a gap to just see the facial expressions of the people who were trying to chase her.

Hendra's bodyguards began to make way for his master as cameras blasted and several phones tried to capture their pictures. Some even dared to ask questions, but Hendra didn't flinch from focusing on his Rolls Royce.

Both of them were really relieved when they got in the car.

"I'm Aruna's sister! Let me talk to your young master!" Alia seemed to be trying to meet them.

"Alia... Hendra, It's Alia." Aruna told Hendra. 

Aruna's future husband opened his car again. A moment later, he let Aruna's older sister speak.

"You can't just leave!"

"You have to confirm to them right now, or Aruna will have difficulty carrying out her daily activities."

"This commotion must be the long tail of your relationship with the drama artist!" Alia strafed Hendra with a request that was peppered with intonation emphasis at each end of the sentence.

.

.

"I don't know what you guys want." Hendra faced the crowd.

"But I implore you all to understand, especially my future wife is not a public figure. We are only ordinary citizens."

"She is very depressed by what is happening now. Please respect us and let us carry out our daily activities as usual." Hendra asked for the group of people' understanding.

"Don't you know that your photos are hotly discussed on social media?" One of the reporters asked.

"Honestly, I haven't checked any social media." Hendra replied.

"Wow, he's too busy." Whispers began to be noisy.

"What about Tania? You have been rumored to be close to her and suddenly come with a photo of a young girl who is reportedly your future wife?" Someone urged Hendra.

"I haven't had the chance to confirm it properly. Now please listen carefully! Tania has been a friend of mine since high school and at that time we only intended to go home together."

"Just so you know, I was engaged to my future wife before the incident. She knows it too! So the rumors are wrong." Hendra confirmed. 

"What about the video at that time? It seems they are playing a game to approach you?" Another one asked.

"Wow, that's their business, I don't know anything. I only intended to help Tania by taking her home." Hendra was very good at words. The expressions of the crowd turned to be amazed.

The reality wasn't so.

"To be honest, we are very interested in your future wife. She seems to be getting so much love from you as the Wenceslas group's sole heir. The photos are circulating that make us want to reveal who the lucky girl is. Do you have any comments?" One of the reporters asked a question again.

"Of course, I really love her. We are also planning to get married in the near future."

"Regarding your curiosity, I try to accept several interviews with television stations, maybe one of them is Nara & Tv, Wenceslas group subsidiary, so that your curiosity is relieved."

"For that, I hope all of you are willing to disperse from here and no longer interfere with my future wife's activities." Hendra added.

"Are we allowed to hear a statement from her just once?" Another urged.

"Sorry, she was in shock today. Please understand."

"Thank you." Hendra paid his respects and got into his car.

The people in the crowd began to whine, hoping to ask Wenceslas's sole heir again.

.

.

Aruna looked at Hendra. This CEO was very different when in front of the public. He was truly authoritative and seemed to be able to attract many people' attention with his charisma.

'Tch, this human really hid his identity.' 

Aruna just never knew what her future husband's activities were like out there. He was highly respected by many business opponents and colleagues.

"Why? (Staring at me) Are you impressed like them?" Hendra flicked Aruna's mean gaze.

"Uh, that's impossible. They were just deceived." Aruna looked away.

"You have a lot to follow my work agenda. So you know how cool I am." Hendra prided himself.

"Tch, lazy..." Aruna was indifferent.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow you have to come. In exchange for my messy business trip today."

Aruna frowned.

"You said you wanted to meet Riswan and his wife?! Tomorrow, follow Surya's instructions and come on time!" Hendra ruled her.

"Is that what we talked about at that time?" Aruna sparkled.

"Yup!" Hendra's short answer was greeted by the little girl's happy mile beside him. 

It was something so rare lately.

"Fine! I'll do it. Since you asked for compensation for today, I will also ask for compensation for tomorrow." Said Aruna firmly.

"Ah, you are now an expert in reversing my words."

"Of course! If not, I'll just be taken advantage of."

"What do you want? Just mention it. Magic card? New car? Or what?" Hendra gave offers.

"No, I don't need all that!"

"Then?"

"I ask... Grant my request that was ignored."

"Which one??"

"Our last discussion in your hotel room!"

"I don't remember."

"Ah... You must remember..."

"Really, I really don't remember."

Aruna frowned at Hendra's words.

The girl was forced to approach and whisper in Hendra's ear. It would be quite embarrassing if Hendra's bodyguard was sitting in front of them.
