The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 18

'Wow, Mr Adit is so brave.'
'I think this will be in vain.'
'Is he not afraid of being killed by the CEO?'
Hendra folded his arms and sat relaxed with his right foot resting on his left. And then, the leader began to convey his team's marketing strategy.
He had a polite manner and a structured tone, without the fiery expressions that other teams usually displayed.
"I'm interested in the positioning of this product, where did your team determine it from?" Hendra asked.
"We did simple research." He answered.
"How many samples for your research?" Hendra asked again.
"There were 300 consumer perceptions that we processed to prepare this presentation." Aditya explained.
"Okay, I like it. Give me the file tomorrow, I will study it. If it is according to my expectations, we will use your team's strategy." Hendra softened.
Hendra then allowed other teams to move forward. In fact, no one dared.
"Nobody wants to present anymore?!! We've been back two days and the results are like this?!" Hendra put on a smirk smile, a smile that his subordinates most feared.
"Tomorrow morning I want to see your work on my desk, if you still want to survive." Once again, a dark atmosphere enveloped the room.
Surya immediately took over and closed the meeting agenda, saving the meeting participants who were getting depressed.
They went out one by one in a hurry. There was one person left. He was the leader who was presenting. The man approached Hendra.
"May I chat with you for a moment?" Aditya asked.
"I actually will take a break, if I want to discuss more, maybe another time."
"Not about work." The man coaxed.
"I want to speak with you in private?" Aditya glanced and smiled at Surya. After the assistant saw the expression 'yes' from his boss, he immediately left.

"I heard you are getting married."
Hendra's pupils widened at the words of his interlocutor.
'Where does he know about my marriage information? It isn't shared to the public yet.'
"Is your candidate Aruna?"
Hendra only slightly nodded at Aditya's question.
"I know Aruna very well. That girl helped me a lot. Oh, not just helping. But I already owe her. I hope you treat her well." Aditya made sure that his guess was correct.
At first, he was a little doubtful that the CEO he worked for was a man who would be married off to his girlfriend. But who else was the heir to the Wenceslas Group besides Mahendra?
"What is your relationship with Aruna?"
Aditya only smiled.
"Later you will also know." Aditya tidied up the notebook intending to leave the room.
"How close are you to her?" Hendra's remarks made Aditya stop in his tracks.
"I'm not the one who has a debt, so I have no responsibility to behave well to Aruna." Hendra didn't want to know.
'Ba-thump ba-thump.."
Aditya's heartbeat spurred a tremor in his hands. He tried hard to control his emotions. Mahendra, this man, almost killed his lover Alia indirectly. However, he was still able to say it very lightly.
"I guarantee, I am the first person who will threaten you if something bad happens to Aruna." Aditya gave Hendra a bold look, before the man lightly looked down and then strolled away.
Seeing Aditya's expression, Hendra was surprised.
'What was that? Isn't he famous for having polite behaviour? I was threatened by my subordinates, seriously.'
Hendra's face was scary. He nimbly walked through the cubicles of workers in a bad mood, combined with sleepiness and tiredness.
"Surya, investigate that person!!" Hendra asked.

"Huh? Who??"
Hendra stopped in his tracks seeing Surya, who wasn't concerned.
Surya stuttered, sequencing the events that made his unique boss angry again.
"Ah... Aditya... Yes Aditya.. Is that person what you mean??" Surya was relieved to have guessed it right. He the storked his chest umpteen times today.
***
Hendra returned to his office, opened the laptop and seemed to be in deep thought.
"You are in a bad mood today. Shouldn't you take a break?" Surya was talking as a friend.
"Buy me a mansion unit in Sky Park." (Residential complex on top of a skyscraper that Aruna visited last night)
"What?? Isn't that complex belong to our rival? (Suko Moro Group)." Surya couldn't stop thinking about what else this was.
"I don't care, just do it."
"Hey, the housing complex has been around for a long time. I'm sure the unit has expired. If there is one, I'm not sure we can choose it." Surya reminded him.
"Just do it if you don't want to get fired." Hendra threatened.
"Make sure you can get it today!" He added.
"WHAT??"
'Huh, what a stubborn man.'
Surya stood, quickly grabbed the phone. He couldn't fight back after all. His life was fulfilled by the Wenceslas heir.
Housing facilities for his family and even scholarships for his younger siblings were very much considered. Even though the bully was often arbitrary.
"When is my schedule to meet Aruna?"
"Should be after fitting, you need to meet the girl to be more familiar. Unfortunately, your schedule this week is very busy."
"Get the Sky Park mansion as soon as possible, Tomorrow I want to meet Aruna there."
"Seriously?? No... That's impossible. We have to go to Surabaya to see the progress of the Waterpark development."
"Shift the schedule, do what I want."
"Why are you like this? The team there has prepared your welcome." Surya felt Hendra was a little different. He never neglected his work.
"You better rest! Before more stupid things you want." Surya quipped, leaving Hendra alone, regretting his unreasonable actions.
