Stealing The Wife's First Kiss Chapter 45
Advertisement
It turned out that Damar took her to the waiting room for the guest star talk show.
"Hi .. what's wrong with you?" Damar asked Aruna to sit on his chair.
The chair on wheels looked more comfortable than others.
Aruna just followed him without thinking too much. Her mind was drifting out of control.
Only her body was here.
"Look at that .. look at your face .. where is your soul, Aruna."
Aruna looked at the mirror that Damar pointed at. Ah, she found herself empty.
"I'm just not feeling well .. don't mind it....I just need rest." Aruna was hiding her problem tightly.
"Did you get scolded by your family last night?"
'Was it because she came home too late?' Damar thought.
"Ah, no. It's nothing. I can handle it."
"What can't you overcome then?" Damar seemed to understand that this was not about 'not feeling well', but there must be something else that made her gloomy.
The girl smiled, glanced at Damar, not willing to answer.
"You're always like this, when will you stop considering me as someone else?" He protested. The man lowered his head, looking closer at Aruna.
"Remember my words, no matter how bad you go through, I'm always by your side. You can come to me anytime." The young man grabbed Aruna's fingers, touching them gently.
Aruna nodded. To be honest, this girl didn't really hear Damar's words. She was too busy with her own thoughts.
"Knock ... knock ... knock ...." The sound of knocking on the door broke the communication between the two young people.
A woman wearing a television show uniform with the words written on it 'Nara & tv' asked Damar to follow her.
Damar disappeared behind the door, followed by the phone's ringing from Aruna's friends, asking Aruna to come immediately among them.

Someone was tapping his finger on the handle of the chair where he was sitting.
Hendra kept glancing at the clock, hoping to get the latest information from the one who was explicitly sent to meet Lesmana.
Aruna's obedience to her father was easily recognized and used as a force to bring the girl to him this afternoon.
The live press conference was held by one of the infotainment programs, Nara & tv, a subsidiary of the Wenceslas Group.
It was nearly 90% ready, and 10% of the female lead, the main star on this show.
"Ah I can't stand it .. I'll meet him myself." Hendra got up from his seat.
The latest information conveyed by the person he sent earlier said that it was almost impossible to meet Lesmana now.
Lesmana was in a meeting. The Wenceslas delivery company regulations didn't accept foreign guests who have not made an appointment with him.
It was impossible to meet him, disrupting an ongoing meeting.
Hendra walked swiftly, followed by his secretary Surya, bodyguards, as well as a team of personal branding consultants, and two others.
For general people, personal branding was something that didn't fall into a meaningful category.
However, for someone interested in politics, business, public figures, and leaders such as CEOs, regional leaders, etc, personal branding was something more than necessary.
They must be able to leave impressive and deep self-promotion every time they interact with subordinates, partners, and customers. They can get maximum attention.
Hendra was aware of this more than anyone.
He needed to save his image before saving his career. It was the same thing his grandfather was wanting.
"Wait?!!" Hendra paused for a moment, looking at the large screen installed in his family's television station's main lobby.
The screen showed live Nara & tv broadcasts.

"Where does the broadcast take place?" Hendra walked nimbly and half-running.
He then opened some of the studio doors. One of the employees of Nara & tv mentioned that the talk show program was in studio 4.
"Brakk." The sound of the door opening loudly disrupted the activities inside.
The tv crew who had immediately turned away and stayed focused as what the producer rankings of the show ordered.
It's a live show so that anyone who came here shouldn't break their concentration.
Some of the crew had whispered why the CEO of Wenceslas Group only seemed occasionally interested in entering their program's shooting room.
The crew didn't realize the CEO's strong magnetism had become an attraction on their talk show stage.
Yes .. Aruna sat among her friends, answering random questions from the host.
Hendra walked and sat in the front seat. His eyes couldn't be distracted, staring intently at his contract girl.
He leaned back, relaxed with his folded hands as he was waiting on how much that girl can endure.
She only had two choices. Either staying there with her friends or choosing to go down and settle things with him.
Hendra knew that Aruna neither could stand the whispers of the people around her nor his blue eyes.

In Another World with Doraemon's 4D Pocket
Cary found himself awoken in a foreign land with what he thought was a nondescript white pouch. Reaching into the white pouch, he was able to pull out an assortment of gadgets that he recognized to be from his favorite childhood show, Doraemon. With the thousands of mischievous, powerful gadgets inside the 4D pocket, Cary will take on this new world by storm! Something ridiculous I will write purely for fun alongside my main story Giantslayer As a disclaimer, I may nerf some of the most broken gadgets or even not use them at all. Doraemon was insane for a children manga (e.g. Doraemon canonically has a nuclear bomb inside his 4D pocket), some of the gadgets have the potential to end this story in one chapter. The most important factor is fun so anything that completely breaks the story might not be mentioned at all (or we will pretend they do not exist in the 4D pocket). We may find uses for those broken gadgets in the future, though. I am not particularly good at writing comedy. There will of course be funny moments (at least I hope they are funny) but everyone in this story will actually behave in a realistic(?) and serious manner. I want the serious world to contrast with some of the wacky gadgets that are available.

The Wild Touch
The world of Delmathar has many conflicts and plots that span over the whole world and even into the war torn oceans. That’s not even taking into account that the world is a candidate in the Realm wars… but that’s a story for another day. Instead we will follow the story of how a goddess’s botched attempt of using a weak earth soul to make powerful Grafter for her mother, ends up empowering an unsuspecting little boy. The boy who is called Nosal Brownwhisker, who happens to be a peaceful little buttonless-shirt loving little Capyban. And as the Brownwhisker family tries to juggle their everyday lives on their monster ranch and hiding little Nosal’s secret, more and more developments keep popping up in the village of Pancreedy that makes life more.. interesting. Author’s notes:This is my first fiction and I understand it will suck. Hopefully you will find it to be enjoyable enough to hang around. There’s not going to be any epic world-ending fights or any stuff like that, just some shenanigans generally with the story progressing very slowly as it changes from many viewpoints. The world of Delmathar may seem funky for now so I will promise a glossary every 15 chapters. The wild touch will be updated at least twice a week, with me having no backlog of chapters. So if I get mobbed at work or get sick I will let you know in my notes on a short chapter. I hope you enjoy, and thank you for the people who support me, give me encouragement and pointers.
