The Charm of the Duda
Chapter 98

Keyla spent 3 hours without even getting off her desk. He was completely focused on the work given by Dion. Keyla wants to prove to Dion that he is capable and serious about work even though he has to start with a delay on the first day.

Hours of studying the documents left Keyla's throat feeling dry. He swallowed his saliva the umpteenth time, hoping to survive on his desk until it was finished without having to move to get drinking water. But in the end he could no longer let his throat dry up.

Keyla marked the page she was studying, then moved from her seat and accidentally saw Dion staring at her. For a long time the two looked at each other until Dion turned his eyes to his laptop screen.

Keyla caught Dion's expression staring at her with deep eyes, but instantly turned flat when he came face to face.

Keyla tidied up the shirt and sponge skirt she was wearing before getting off her desk.

He stopped in front of Dion's desk. He was silent for a moment because he seemed hesitant to talk to her.

As soon as Dion made a face and looked at her, Keyla immediately spoke.

"Sorry sir, I'm going to the pantry for a second." He asked permission.

"Sir Dion would like me to make you a drink.?" Keyla hesitates to offer Dion. Afraid of embarrassment if Dion turns down his good offer.

"Can." Dion answered expressionlessly. Even so, Keyla immediately breathed a sigh of relief. At least he avoided embarrassment.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Keyla bent down, then walked out.

"You didn't ask what kind of drink I was going to make.?"

Dion's words stopped Keyla who had opened the door and was ready to get out of the workspace.

Keyla closed the door again, then turned to answer Dion's question.

"Lunch is always coffee." Keyla. He mentioned Dion's habits while in the office. Although at home and outside rarely drink coffee, but when in the office will never be absent sipping coffee before lunch.

Keyla's reply made Dion pull the corner of her lips. He smiled wryly and looked claustrophobic in his chest.

Keyla did not forget her habit, but was able to leave her when she was down.

There was always pain and disappointment every time Keyla remembered what Keyla had done to her.

"For years of living with others, you seem to remember my habits." Dion stared hard. Carefully observe Keyla's expression and look in the eye, which immediately subdues the view.

"I'm sorry,,"

Instead of responding to Dion's insinuating remarks, Keyla chose to dodge. He rushes to the pantry to get some mineral water and makes 2 cups of coffee for himself and Dion.

Keyla had guessed that his job would be much easier than when he had to interact with Dion.

If work only drains the mind and energy, Keyla must prepare the heart while interacting with Dion. Because there will always be things and words that can remind of old wounds and mistakes that he has made.

Unfortunately Keyla could not just back down after agreeing with the proposal given by Celina by becoming Dion's personal secretary.

She also had no right to blame Celina for all this on her own consent who originally wanted to regain Dion's heart by being around her every day.

"Oh my goodness.!" Screeches Keyla. Suddenly stopped the step so remember do not know the location of the pantry on the floor.

He immediately looked for employees who were around him and immediately asked him.

"So there, just turn left." Answer the employee while pointing in the direction he is referring. Keyla followed the direction of her index finger while nodding her head.

"Thank you." Keyla said with a faint smile.

"Wait first. You're a new employee.?" Her wrist is held.

"Sorry." Keyla immediately brushed aside slowly because she felt uncomfortable being touched by a man she did not know before.

"Yes, I'm a new employee."

"Excuse me." Keyla was polite.

The man gave a thin smile.

"I happen to want to make coffee, too," he said, following Keyla's steps.

Feeling uncomfortable to interact for longer, Keyla chose to stay still and let the man walk beside her.

"Ekhem,,,!" Deheman's voice made the two stop their steps.

"Pr Mr. Dion." Greet the man with a friendly smile.

"It's not that you're finalizing the proposal I'm asking for."

"The proposal must be finished before lunch."

Dion gave a sharp look at him.

"Yes, I've finished it sir."

"good. Bring it to my room right now." Said Dion firmly. After that looked at Keyla who was still silently pecking on the spot.

"You, why are you still here.?" Ask Dion to Keyla.

"Excuse me." The two went straight from Dion's presence after seeing each other because they were both astonished at Dion.

...***...

Keyla brought a tray of 2 cups of coffee and 1 cup of mineral water into Dion's room. Once inside, Keyla was immediately greeted by Jonathan who was sitting opposite Dion.

"Well, you bring 2 cups of coffee. You know I'm here." Tempt Jonathan with a grin of death.

"It sure tastes good coffee made by beautiful women." The compliment.

Keyla did not give any response other than a stiff smile. He also doesn't feel good to say that the coffee he brought was not for Jonathan, but for him and Dion.

"Get out.!" Firm Dion.

"Sa, me.?" Keyla asked confusedly.

"Your work desk is here.! Why should I go out." Answer Dion quickly.

Jonathan understood at once that he was being driven out by Dion.

"You're upset at.? We're not done talking about working with Vin's group."

Jonathan was astonished and suspicious of his superiors. It's not unusual for Dion to stop important conversations for no apparent reason.

It certainly makes Jonathan suspicious that there is something between Dion and his new secretary because it looks like there is no one else in the room other than the two of them.

"There's nothing to talk about anymore, it's all clear." Answer Dion flat.

"Just finish your other work." Declared.

Now Jonathan has no other reason to stay in Dion's room. He got up from his seat and went straight to Keyla.

"I'll get the coffee." He said while taking a cup of coffee owned by Keyla without waiting for the owner's approval.

"Who let you bring that coffee.?!" Dion cried with a sharp look.

"Let it in its place again."

"Jeez,," complained Jonathan. He had to put back the coffee he almost drank.

"Keyla doesn't mind me taking the coffee." Jonathan Grumbled in annoyance.

"All the coffee is mine.!" Firm Dion.

"Jeez." Jonathan just walked away. Today Dion was really strange, his emotions easily overflowing for no apparent reason. Just now he saw Dion scolding Rian when he entered his room only because he did not directly give the proposal he had completed. Now he's the one who was scolded by Dion.

Keyla walks over to Dion's desk. He put 2 cups of coffee there according to what Dion said to Jonathan.

"I just need a cup of coffee." Dion flat. He picked up one of the coffees and sipped it.

Keyla looked at Dion with a frown. In fact, it is not only Jonathan who is confused, Keyla has actually felt that way since then.

"Don't you ask for everything.?" Ask Keyla lirih.

But Keyla immediately took a coffee because Dion looked at him sharply.

Keyla immediately sat down at her desk without daring to stare at Dion again.
