Semua Bab Imperfect Love : The CEO's Secret Affair: Bab 81 - Bab 90

"Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, mmmmm," Aurora mumbled as she raised her hand high in the air, counting the days while imagining Dave's smile on her bedroom ceiling. That faint smile that she had seen only a few times but had managed to keep her longing for him constantly.Restlessness crept in on the third night after her last meeting with Dave. Her heart felt dull as she hadn't received any messages from the man with copper-brown eyes. She had checked her phone screen countless times throughout the day, hoping to see the name 'Oh, two door refrigerator' appear there. Disappointed? Absolutely, because the man who had stolen her heart was not being responsible, leaving her buried in false hope.She typed a long series of sentences with a pounding heart and then clicked the send button. Aurora sighed in disappointment when only one checkmark appeared. She counted to ten and then clicked the option 'delete message for everyone.'"Damn it!" Aurora cursed, remembering her two friends' words

After having dinner with his family, Dave entered his room. He felt tired from a long day of work and wanted to rest, but sleep seemed to elude him. The king-sized bed with its cream-colored sheets had been tossed around like a ship in a storm. Various sleeping positions failed to coax him into slumber. All of this was because of the girl who looked like Aurora he had met at the office earlier. He had managed to push thoughts of the spoiled girl aside for a few days by burying himself in his mountain of work, but everything went haywire since that afternoon.Lying face down, he grabbed a pillow and buried his face in it, trying to shut out the world. He lost track of time as the clock's ticking failed to pull him into the realm of dreams. Annoyed, he threw the pillow away from his face and sat up to see the clock stopped at 11. He got up from the bed, changed into a pair of loose pants and a white polo t-shirt. After tying up his long hair, he grabbed a black leather jacket and the ca

Ahem... Ferdinan's clearing of his throat successfully broke the silence."In that case, you should propose to Aurora right away, Dave, no need for a long courtship," Sekar chimed in with a wide smile. The hijab-wearing beauty hadn't expected her son to bring a prospective daughter-in-law so soon.Aurora, in response, choked on the drink she had just taken, while Gracia remained frozen in disbelief at the surprises she was getting from her friend and boss."Slow down, dear," Dave said as he grabbed a tissue and gently wiped the liquid from Aurora's lips, his gaze locking with hers."We..." Aurora began, wanting to clarify the truth."We will get married after Aurora finishes her studies, Mommy," Dave interjected quickly.It was futile to argue, so Aurora decided to go along with the drama Dave had created. "It seems like I need to learn acting now," she muttered to herself as she forced a smile towards Sekar and Ferdinan."As long as you both can maintain proper conduct, it's fine by

After returning from the shopping center, Dave's demeanor went back to being the "Two-Door Fridge Uncle" – cold and freezing. Aurora chose silence as her response, gazing out at the congested traffic on the road. She just wanted to get back to Dave's house, pack her things, and return to Yogyakarta. She longed to return to her life as it was before she met Dave, to forget everything that had happened between them.Upon arriving at Dave's house, Aurora immediately went into her room and didn't come out until she and Gracia were ready to leave. Dave didn't show up as Aurora said her goodbyes to his parents. A sense of disappointment lingered in Aurora's heart. Once again, she gazed up at the second floor, hoping to catch a glimpse of Dave before leaving. At least seeing him at the front of the house would ease her mind. However, her hopes were dashed as the car that Aurora and Gracia were in left the grand estate, heading towards Juanda Airport.Once again, Aurora checked her phone, hop

Aurora's body froze the moment Reynald hugged her. The masculine scent of his cologne tickled her senses, and her heart raced due to their physical contact. This had happened many times between them in the past, and it never caused her heart to protest like it did now. But the difference this time was that they were meant to be set up together, and it wasn't the familiar excitement she felt with Dave, but rather an awkwardness that had suddenly crept in.Their last encounter was when they were both in 12th grade. Reynald, who stood before her now, was a far cry from the teenager she once knew. His well-built physique was evident through the black t-shirt he wore, and he appeared more mature and groomed."Um... when did you come back from Germany, Rey?" Aurora asked as she pulled away from Reynald's embrace. She averted her gaze, pretending to search for something in her bag, to avoid his penetrating eyes that held a knowing smile."I returned two days ago. I came here on purpose to se
