The Unforgettable Story
Section 61
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the seminar ended. As soon as the host invited them to enjoy the snacks provided, Miles stood up from his seat. He rushed over to Kirana who was immediately surrounded by the speakers on duty on the first day.
Clearly, he was not the only one who was aware of the woman's charm. The men saw the same thing. He won't allow anyone to try to take Juliett away from him. This was the reason he wanted the woman to be his soon. He has to move quickly or else another man will get the chance. He can't let that happen.
“Come, we're back now.” Miles whispered as he wrapped his hands around Kirana's back. The woman turned her head towards him and looked at him in wonder.
“But I still talk to them.” Kirana whispered her protest in a serious tone. Attention now centers on both of them.
“Sorry, we say goodbye, gentlemen.” said Miles politely. The men smiled kindly at him.
“Are you her husband?” ask one of them before Miles and Kirana can leave. The other men looked at their hands for evidence of whether they were husband and wife. They don't have it. For the time being. Things will change soon.
“Soon. He's my fiancee.” Miles said without the slightest hesitation. He made sure that he sounded proud of that fact. He could feel Kirana stabbing him with her beautiful sharp gaze. Well, later on he'll let the woman yell angrily at him.
“Congratulations. You're a lucky man. She's a smart woman.” compliment the speaker of the first session this morning. Miles smiled at the polite man.
“Quickly, circle the ring on his finger, before another man does.” another timpal.
“That's the plan. May your afternoon all be fun.” Miles shook their hands one by one, indicating that he had to leave. Kirana did the same thing even though she was not leaving.
“Go, go. Have a nice night you two.” kick them out. Miles chuckled as he pulled Kirana's hand before she finished shaking them all.
Miles opted out of the door next to the stage so they wouldn't have to cross paths with anyone else who knew them. Hearing the knocking of Kirana's high heels on the floor, she slowed down her steps. Of course it is difficult for the woman to follow her long steps with her high heels.
“You all right?” ask Miles through his shoulder.
“You just asked now after half pulling me out of the seminar room?” kirana sarkas. Miles looked at the woman's feet and shoes.
“I don't understand why you women are so fond of torturing themselves all day wearing such shoes.” He sighed softly. Kirana rolled her eyeballs.
“So we can look at your face without having to lift your face as high as possible.” Kirana raised her chin.
“Omong empty. You are above average. Far above average. You don't need high rights to keep you on par with the men.” Miles debate.
“Only one man is my target.” said Kirana seriously. Realizing his point, Miles laughed. Seeing that Kirana pouted.
“I'm not a native Indonesian, sweetheart. Of course I'm taller than most men around you.” said Miles amused.
“Where are we going?” kirana asked as they stopped in front of the elevator. Miles wrapped his hands around his waist. He did not protest.
“Ke our room.” replied Miles full of secrets.
“It's still three in the afternoon, Miles.” Kirana frowned.
“What? No, sweetheart.” Miles chuckled as he understood what was inside the woman's head. “I'm not asking you to spend time in bed with me. We need to change clothes. I brought you dinner outside.”
“Because I have a surprise for you.” replied Miles honestly.
“I don't like surprises.” Kirana muttered softly.
“You were the first woman to tell me that you don't like surprises. What else do you not like?” miles asked suddenly to know more about the woman.
“Intimidation.” replied Kirana sarcas. Miles laughed out loud. “You called me your fiance in front of them. Have you gone crazy? We're not fiancees. You're my boss, I'm just a manager at your company. Discussion over.”
“I have proposed to you. Twice. It's not my fault you rejected me. To me, you're my fiancee. It is up to you to admit it or not.” Miles insisted.
The elevator doors opened, their conversation halted. Kirana groans softly. Miles brought Kirana inside after the men got out of the elevator. He scanned the cards, then pressed a button towards their floor.
“What else don't you like?” ask Miles again as the elevator moves up.
“You.” spray Kirana fast. Miles laughed again. “I'm not joking here, Miles. What do you think is funny about what I said?”
“Sweetheart, you need to learn to put opinions together between your head, mouth, heart, and body. I can prove that your body wants me. Wanted me badly. The question is, are you smart enough to admit it or would you rather lie to your heart by saying the opposite?”
“The answer is none of the options you give.” Kirana shook her head.
“Let me guess. Because you are an intelligent woman, you prefer to follow the contents in your head rather than the contents in your heart.” Miles said.
“Hm. You impressed me, Miles. But not enough to make me like you.” Kirana said cynically. Miles laughed again.
“Good. What else do you not like?”
“Black coffee.” replied Kirana quickly. Miles laughed again.
“Black coffee, yes?” Miles kissed Kirana on the lips. The woman closed her eyes. She complained softly as the kiss ended so quickly. “No. You liked it. You've always loved my kisses and that I'm sure more often scented coffee.”
“You suck.” Kirana said it in a high tone. And Miles knows he's right. He ignored his protest and asked again. Their conversation was very interesting to him.
“Others?” Miles looked towards the screen to the right of the door, they still had time before arriving at the destination floor. Kirana squinted her eyes.
“Duda.” spray Kirana blatantly. Miles laughed much louder than before and Kirana grew even more annoyed.
“Are you going to say all things related to me as things you don't like?” miles asked curiously in the middle of his laughter.
“What will make you allow me to stay in another room.” He already knew the answer because Miles always said no. But he kept asking.
“No.” says Miles. “But your efforts can also.”
The elevator doors open on their destination floor. Miles takes Kirana out and heads to the room. An hour later, they were on the ground floor. A black sedan was waiting and ready to take them wherever they wanted. One of the advantages of having a close friend is a five-star hotel owner. He owes a lot to that kind-hearted man.
