The Beauty Inside: Stealing The First Kiss, Get a Wife Chapter 59
Advertisement
Soon, the sound of knocking on the door was heard again.
This time, Ms. Linda came in with a pink flower bouquet.
Beautiful and blooming roses were perfectly arranged from faded pink to deep pink. Even at its edges were Baby breath flowers (a flower that is pure white and small in size, has a very deep meaning, namely eternal love).
The flower bouquet was wrapped in pink sheets, including the packaging tube.
Aruna was not that interested in pink. But this time, she happily smiled.
The bouquet was very beautiful to enjoy.
'This must be from Damar.' She muttered.
'I suddenly feel like a princess.' Aruna needed to thank Damar.
*Thank you, the bouquet is beautiful (smile emoticon).
The girl groomed herself. She took a selfie with the flowers she just received.
*Yes, you are indeed beautiful (Damar replied).
*No need to borrow Alia's flower bouquet. (Laughter emoticon) If you want to send a selfie, just send it. I'm so happy (emoticon falls in love / eyes love)
Damar's reply made Aruna confused.
If it wasn't Damar, then who??
The girl immediately checked the bouquet. She found a small paper inside.
*to: Aruna
'This is for me.' The girl then turned the paper.
*Thank you for the beautiful lips.
"What?!" The girl harshly laid down the flower bouquet.
The bouquet of pink flowers was no longer beautiful.
She immediately grabbed the bouquet and got off from her sight.
'This person is really not satisfied to see me angry yesterday.'
'Let's see my revenge.'
Aruna found out Hendra's number from Surya.
When this girl got the blue-eyed man's number, she couldn't bear to curse him immediately.
What happened to her?
The friendly and calming Aruna now often showed emotions.
"Beep beep beep..." Hendra refused several calls from a foreigner in the middle of the meeting room.
When the man was irritated and picked the call up...
"Hey perverted man! How dare you bother me!" Aruna's voice shrieked.
Hendra pushed away his phone.
The girl screamed faintly and cursed the CEO.
The meeting activities immediately stopped, leaving the eyes of the meeting participants looking at each other.
Their CEO got up and slowly walked away.
Hendra needed to make a statement that could reduce his subordinates's speculations.
"My prospective wife said she was sick?! You've received my package? Do you like it?" Hendra adjusted the intonation, ignoring the grumpy Aruna at the other end.
A moment later, after actually being outside the meeting room, the man was just silent and occasionally smiled, listening carefully when the girl spilled his irritation.

He missed her.
"Already tired..?!"
"Stop screaming. You're sick right?!"
"Now take a rest."
Hendra's expression was soothing, as Aruna's voice weakened.
"Tch, pretending to be good." Another cursing was still heard.
"Aruna." Hendra remembered something more important for a moment.
"You know our wedding date is proposed." The Wenceslas's heir mentioned the date.
Aruna was now silent. The great horror day was coming.
"Hello?" Hendra made sure that the girl still heard him.
Hendra knew, Aruna was under pressure.
"Take it easy. I will behave well this time!"
"We can definitely get through it." Somehow, Hendra positioned himself to fight together.
Aruna was made even more confused.
'What's wrong with him, this isn't him?!'
Aruna didn't know that great responsibility would come to Hendra with their marriage.
The guarantee was Aruna.
Hendra didn't understand yet the meaning behind Andos' words 'Miss Aruna would be the guarantee.'
Somehow, he knew that his grandfather always had a way.
"Sorry... Tomorrow some of my bodyguards will meet you. Just follow their requests. I'll explain later after we meet."
"You must keep our contract right?!" Aruna needed to make sure.
"Yes, of course."
'As long as I can, I'll get rid of it.' Hendra started to waver.
"I want to check it one more time and get a copy from you."
'I haven't read all of them.' Aruna was afraid of being used.
"I'll tell Surya later." Hendra answered.
"No! I don't want anyone else. We're both involved." Aruna felt sorry that she only wrote a few simple things.
This time, it is necessary to renegotiate with Hendra while ensuring that the man would not break the agreement they have built.
"Yes, it's up to you." Hendra replied.
They were silent for a moment in their lost minds.
One was afraid of marriage. One was burdened with questions about the marriage contract.
"Okay, I want to rest first."
They were getting awkward.
"Yes! Get well soon." Hendra returned to the meeting room.
He found his subordinates were gossiping.
"They were right. That is the girl that Nara & tv teams told me about."
"What happened there?"
"The CEO reportedly forced a young girl into a room and out dressed differently."
"Wow.. that far??"
"Didn't he also bring Tania to his private room?"
"Ah that's just a rumor. Tania's reservation is next to the CEO's room."
"Tania can't possibly curse her blind love so rudely. I'm sure it's a different girl."

"Is that true?!"
"Calm down.. you will get my wedding invitation soon." Hendra was so cold.
His subordinates were suddenly confused, shocked and frozen throughout the meeting.
***
A notification popped up on Hendra's phone screen.
@danu umar official shared an insta story.
Hendra checked it with his private Instagram account.
He found a girl's photo with a face covered in emoticons.
*Beautiful (a simple caption but lighted a fire)
'Ah isn't this the flower I gave her??'
The blue-eyed man realised the girl's selfie that Damar uploaded was Aruna.
'Why Damar has this picture? But not me??'
Hendra arranged the neurons in his brain, looking for the best guess.
'Aruna thought the flower was from Damar, and was so angry after finding the flower bouquet came from him.'
Hendra's allegations were not much different from reality.
The man made a movement on the phone screen. He captured a screenshot of Damar's insta story.
He then sent it to Aruna's whatsapp.
*If you want to impress another guy, don't use his competitor's property.
He got no reply even though it was long enough.
Hendra kept glancing at his phone, unable to focus on working.
He sat, stood, and sat again. It seemed he wanted to slam down his phone.
*??
At the end, he only got question marks as a reply from Aruna.
That girl made Hendra really crazy.
***
*My guards will come.
*You're at home? (Hendra's WhatsApp message).
*I'm still at campus, just finished the first hour (Aruna).
*Let them pick you up at your campus.
*No, no. I still have to take the follow-up exams after this.
*What time will you finish and where can they pick you up?
*Just stay at home. 2 more hours.
***
Aruna just got off from OkeCar who escorted her.
When she entered the gate, the three pairs of eyes intently stared then saluted.
The eyes belonged to three men in matching uniforms equipped with a complete separation type Bluetooth headset.
'Wait! Isn't the black thing in their ears very familiar?' Aruna realised that their appearances were almost similar to the stalkers back then.
"Miss Aruna?" One of them called.
"Yes?" Aruna was confused.
"Oh, we are Mr Hendra's bodyguard."
One of the 3 men seemed to tell someone that they were ready to take Aruna.
"Yes, I'll go in first, just a moment."
A moment later, Aruna came out of her house after putting down some college books and changing bags.
She carefully walked and started to feel depressed.
Aruna seemed to exhale several times before finally entering the Wenceslas family car with Hendra's bodyguards who accompanied her.
The car stopped at a boutique. Of course, a luxury boutique which only sold certain brands.
"Miss, please choose according to your wishes. Mr Hendra said you should choose the midi dress." The man who had a wound on one cheek conveyed Hendra's request with a flat tone and looked formal.
"Do I have to buy it?" Aruna felt like she would be dressed according to the blue-eyed man's style.
"Yes."
Aruna's guess was right. The guards took her into a room on the exclusive floor.
A room with a grey interior. It was very spacious for a hotel room, equipped with a minimalist guest sofa.
Of course, a woman with make-up equipment had been prepared in the room.
"Miss, our task is enough to be here. In a moment, Mr Hendra will come to see you." Aruna nodded in response to Hendra's bodyguards's explanation.

"Beep beep beep."
'Why does Lesmana call me?' Hendra immediately picked up.
"Hello dad, can I help you?" Hendra greeted.
"Sorry I need to reprimand you. I don't like hearing stories about my daughter who is getting depressed."
Lesmana received news from his wife that his youngest daughter was brought by 3 Wenceslas's bodyguards with a chaotic mood.
Aruna's mother could not bear that her little girl was treated like a prisoner even before the wedding happened.
"I was just like them. I was one of your family guards." Lesmana continued.
"But, we have never been ordered to escort anyone outside the Wenceslas family, except for those who have problems which must be monitored."
"Try to understand things like that are difficult. Especially for my daughter."
"Yes, Dad, I won't do it anymore."
"If you want to meet her, come alone. Treat my daughter well. I still clearly remember your words 'will do my best' please fulfil it!"
"Yes, Dad, I'm sorry."
"Now I don't have full authority over your behaviour. After you guys married, your grandfather gave me the right to 'watch over you in the right way'."
Lesmana's voice changed from a shady father to a man threatening the other man.
The Wenceslas's heir asked for apology to his future father-in-law several times.

8 228Corinth
This is the story of an expanding empire, not understanding its reach, unfulfilled by its goals, and misled by its gods. It follows a group of travellers as they try to expand the empire, and probe the edges of its control. It is set in a world in which power is directly connected to origins, ancestry, and the gods of a culture. It examines the effects of conflict on a people when they can’t be disconnected from their surroundings, and thus true mobility is not possible. The first book will be focusing on a group trying to explore and settle the lands east of their empire. Deciding that a new push is needed, groups are being funded to take and farm the near-empty land, and this group of four is heading out ahead of many of the settlers. The four - Sojo, Mirrel, Eyn, and Brehen - hope to find and chart something of importance in a vast, nearly unexplored landscape, and bring the knowledge back to make their fortune. This story will be focusing on the people that make, inspire, and ultimately shape the course of an empire's ambitions. It is hosted at https://thecorinthianman.wordpress.com/ and updates Wednesdays.
