Ch. 20A warning


Indra had just arrived at Anggoro's company office, where he was given a friendly welcome by security, and even two men in fancy black suits bowed to him.

Indra quickly responded to the greeting with a smile, even though he was still not used to it.

"Please come with us, sir. The leadership is waiting for you," said one of the neatly uniformed men.

"Okay." Indra complied and walked first, then the two men walked after him.

"Wow! What is that? What is Indra's position that they are bowing down to him?" murmured Sonia, who was silent from behind the gates of the big company.

Yes! Sonia had in fact managed to follow Indra from the time he left the rented house until he arrived at a large towering building that certainly managed to stun the woman. Her curiosity did not go to waste, Sonia deliberately hid and watched everything that happened in front of the building.

At first, she didn't believe it was possible that Indra was just occupying an ordinary position, but after seeing the treatment of the employees of the place, she finally just kept gawking and kept shaking her head in disbelief.

"Well, you've changed, Indra. How could I let you go like this?" Sonia grinned knowingly.

For a moment, she was lost in her reverie until her attention was drawn back to a white saloon car that appeared and stopped in front of the company building. Sonia narrowed her eyes as a female figure stepped out of the car, which certainly received the same welcome as Indra.

"Hmm? Who is she?"

Yes! Again, the security guard bowed and, with a warm smile, greeted Dinda, "Good morning, Lady."

Dinda returned the smile and replied, "Morning... ah! has Indra come?"

"Already, Lady. He just came before you," the security guard replied respectfully.

Dinda then nodded and automatically swept her gaze across the lobby. "Ah, I see. Thank you, sir."

The security guard nodded again and said, "Have a good day."

For some reason, after getting the news that Indra had arrived at the place, Dinda's heart skipped a beat, and her feet unconsciously stepped hurriedly as if she couldn't wait to see the man who had been occupying her mind lately.

The woman walked through the lobby with hurried steps, along with her subordinate employees, who also did not forget to give a respectful greeting to the boss, who was the son of the company's chairman.

When she arrived at the division floor occupied by Indra, her eyes immediately began to sweep the entire room as if trying to find the man she was looking for. The next minute, her eyes began to enlarge to catch the figure of a man standing and watching something.

"Ah! There he is." Dinda was about to take a step but suddenly stopped her movement when she saw the crowd in the room. "I don't think I can do this, the concentration of the other employees will be disturbed by our presence."

Dinda then exhaled a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll meet him during break time."

She smiled and continued on her way to the lift at the end of the hallway connected to the floor where her private office was located.

After Dinda left, Indra suddenly turned her head to the doorway where Dinda had been standing.

Indra raised one eyebrow and muttered, "Like someone's watching..." The man then cast his gaze further around the room, which seemed to be bustling with employees who were getting busy with their respective jobs.

Yes! Indra was unconsciously trying to find the person he knew so well, the person who had brought him to this place and situation.

***

The break time had come; as said before, Dinda was busy tidying up her desk and rushed out of the room. But when the door was opened, a middle-aged man was already at the door.

"Ah! P-papa?" Dinda raised one eyebrow and asked, "What's Papa doing here?"

"Where else would I go but to your room?" said Anggoro, "Are you alone? Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Dinda was shocked, she forgot and could not control herself without realizing that her strange behavior had succeeded in making her father feel surprised and even wonder.

"Oh! This... I... want to go to lunch, Pa," Dinda stammered.

"Incidentally, Papa also wants to take you to lunch."

"Ah! Then I'll go first, Pa. Bye!" Dinda suddenly interrupted and even said goodbye in a hurry before finishing listening to her father's words.

Anggoro was certainly surprised and said, "You're not done yet? Papa hasn't finished  yet." His words were interrupted again when he turned his head to follow his daughter's body movements, who had stopped right behind him and was greeting Indra.

At once, Anggoro chuckled while shaking his head. How could he not? This was the first time Anggoro had seen his son, who was full of enthusiasm while talking to another man.

"How's your work? Is it done?" asked Dinda to Indra, who lowered his head when he realized that Anggoro was watching them.

"R-ready, Dinda. I want to-"

"Alright, now let's have lunch. There's a nice restaurant nearby." Dinda interrupted again without even bothering to invite Indra.

Indra, who was confused, was even more surprised by the situation because he also still felt guilty for leaving him at the boutique the other day. At first, Indra thought that Dinda would be disappointed in him, but this time it turned out that Dinda's attitude was completely beyond his expectations.

"How's it going? The place is full," Dinda asked again to make sure.

But instead of answering, Indra lowered her gaze even more. He was very awkward and occasionally looked at Anggoro, who was standing with his arms crossed, still watching the two.

Indra's behavior also managed to astonish Dinda, and when she turned her head to follow his gaze, she was wide-eyed.

"Oh my, Papa is still here?" Dinda's face instantly turned bright red!

Anggoro, who had been standing there, lowered his hand and walked over. 

The middle-aged man looked at Dinda and Indra in turn and then exhaled harshly. "Papa knows that you're going to get married soon, but... come on, Honey," he murmured in a whisper to Dinda. "You shouldn't show your feelings to a man who... ah! Never mind."

Anggoro seemed to be embarrassed by his own daughter's behavior, and he did not expect to see Dinda, who seemed to really love the man she was going to marry in the near future.

As for Dinda? She seemed to be holding back her embarrassment, as she had just realized that she was overreacting even in front of her own father.

Finally, Anggoro felt annoyed with himself and snorted as he said, "Well, never mind. Hurry up and have lunch... Papa doesn't want his grandchildren to go hungry."

Anggoro quickly walked away, but as he passed Indra, his pace suddenly slowed, and he whispered, "Don't feel too superior because my daughter is being nice to you!"
