The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 13

"You must be thirsty." Damar guessed Aruna's tired face, who fell down beside him.
Damar opened his water bottle, handed it to the ponytail girl. Aruna nodded as she answered him. Damar's sweet treatment attracted Hendra's attention.
'Is he Aruna's boyfriend? Hmmm... (mysterious smile) It means we are balanced. There won't be a problem. She and I both have another man and woman.' Hendra noticed the two young people's movements.
Hendra just didn't know that Damar and Aruna had a one-sided love relationship. The relationship built on the foundation of friendship made Damar shackled to just declare his love for Aruna.
They ended in their respective perspectives. For Aruna, Damar's sweet treatment applied to all women. Understandably, this literary student was good at composing words, and his work was spreading the silly virus to many girls.
The victims fell countless times. That was the rumours circulating.

"You guys eat with me first, then I'll take you home." Surya was confused about where to start the conversation.
"Aren't you interested in introducing myself, Surya?" The beautiful artist was sticked to Hendra.
Surya irritated seeing her. Didn't she realise that her boss's future wife was among them?
"I have to introduce you as what? Artist? A High school friend? Or something?" Hendra's assistant shows his saturation.
"You still like to bother me?" Tania smiled sweetly. She really shined with her ideal body and feminine fashion. Ah, very far from Aruna.
The woman's presence didn't disturb Aruna's calm at all. She even suspected from the very beginning that the marriage contract was made. Aruna believed the reason was the woman beside Hendra.
"I'll go with Tania, you take care Aruna and him." Hendra stood up. It wasn't suitable for him and Tania to be seen together openly.

Moreover, this boutique was a place where Tania's friends regularly ordered dresses.
"Wait a minute, I still don't agree with the dress." Aruna was more annoyed by the fluffy dress than the complicated relationship between the five people around her, including herself.
"Miss Aruna just submitted her request yesterday so Dede prepared the existing collection first." Surya gave an explanation.
Hendra immediately asked Dede to specifically communicate with Aruna. With pleasure, the famous designer listened to the expectations of his VVIP customers.
He also included some additional questions. Did you like flowers? What colour did you prefer? Pearl or rock crystal? And so forth.
"I can't stay here long, Surya" Hendra whispered to his assistant.
"Just go, Aruna come home with me." Damar didn't intend to eavesdrop or anything, but the two men were right in front of him. They simultaneously turned their heads.
"I disagree, just drive her home. Much safer." Hendra delivered his instructions to Surya, but his gaze was on Damar.
"Try asking directly to Aruna, she must be more comfortable coming home with me." Damar was very confident in his expression because he knew who Aruna was.
"Like you, who want to go out with that woman." Damar added a word of resentment with his trademark expression, an expression usually he used to break the hearts of bullies.
'Ouch, this man is really dangerous. He doesn't know who Hendra really is. Aaargh what should I do?? My life is tough today.' Surya complained.
Fortunately, Aruna has finished with Dede. The girl took her bag. Damar stood, following Aruna's motion.
"Thank you very much for today, Damar and I can go home alone. We will go first." Aruna exclaimed.
"Are you sure you're fine going home with that man?" The expression of the word 'man' was implicitly referring to Damar.

"I knew him for two years, not two weeks." Aruna threw a sweet smile at Surya and Hendra. She even shook Tania's hand and introduced herself for a moment.
"Aruna." She greeted Tania.
"Tania." Tania had time to tuck her beautiful hair behind her ear, an expression she presented to make it look dazzlingly beautiful.
"See you." The little girl was completely unfazed, waving down the stairs.
Damar walked over while glancing at Hendra and releasing a fake smile full of triumph.
'What are they doing?'
Hendra was accustomed to being respected by thousands of Wenceslas Group employees. No one even dared to go against his request, let alone throw innuendo directly at him. And now, two young people who just became known were bringing it up openly.
"Tania, you go home alone." Hendra handed over Tania's car key.
"I still have a need, next time we meet again." Hendra entered his own car. Surya was surprised by Hendra's decision.
'What else is this?? Why did he suddenly change his mind? Surya had asked where they were going this time. No answer. Hendra was busy calling someone.

"Make sure you watch them! If necessary, take their pictures and videos! Report to me any time!" Those were the only words Surya could hear.
'Who is watched by hendra??' Surya wondered what was so severe that he didn't want to be separated from his phone.
"Yes, definitely not far from the boutique."
"That's right, a long sleeved shirt with jeans."
"Just send the photos." Surya heard Hendra's voice once again.
Not long after, his boss was busy with his phone and was busy checking some pictures.
"Please answer me a moment, we go to the office or return to the house." Surya asked.
"Go to the office, I'll rest at the hotel." Hendra answered.
"Ah, what the hell are you saying now." Surya turned the steering wheel covered in annoyance. The assistant was getting tired.
"Banggg." Hendra's phone fell. Surya glanced at him, resetting the speed of the car.
'Wait? What did he just see?? Oh my God..' Surya realised why Hendra had been unfocused.

8 390The VocaLords
Gumi and her best friend Miku front a rock band called The VocaLords. Using her cherrywood Les Paul guitar as a weapon against evil, Gumi also pursues a more pressing agenda -- sending deserving souls to Hell where they belong. Everything starts going wrong when VioLinja -- a violinist with a God Complex -- is allowed to join the band. A very big God Complex. Thanks to VioLinja, Gumi must set Hell loose upon the world she sought to save. Alone and half alive, without her bandmates or her best friend, Gumi struggles to contain the havoc VioLinja wreaks. Things start going right when a mysterious, sea-faring man who goes by the acronym of T.O.P. comes to Gumi's rescue. Aboard his research ship in the Sea of Okhotsk, T.O.P. helps Gumi prepare for her final battle against VioLinja's reign of terror. * * * * * * * * * * * * The VocaLords is written as if it were a series of thirty minutes animes. Each Episode will consist of a sixty second teaser, followed by three to five chapters of about ten minutes reading time apiece. Each Episode will also contain one or two songs I have written personally, with the lyrics incorporated into the storyline. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I have had with writing it.
8 194The Rite of Sanctuary
Dozens, if not hundreds of worlds were destroyed or damaged by what amounted to a industrial accident on a higher level of existence. Many people and places however, were saved at the last instant and hastily slammed together into a makeshift world held together with magic and hope. The director was assigned to keep the whole thing going and stole the idea of a RPG driven system as a placeholder set of natural laws. One he is constantly having to apply ad hoc fixes and updates on the fly. The main character and the church he worked at end up being one of the places from modern earth that got saved. Possibly updating Saturday and Sunday if my schedule stays the same
