Still Wishing He Back?
35. The Same Woman?
"The face I couldn't see clearly, the voice that sounded so soft, that I wondered who he really was?" Darren is still trying to find out the truth about the woman who always appears in dreams and remembers it.
Still in the same memory, Darren also still trying to remember what he had done wrong to the woman he had seen three times and met him accidentally. The first meeting had made him confused and astonished, because he saw a woman he did not know well, it was seen crying when he saw her. And, as he worried about the woman's condition, because of the violence of Laura in their second meeting, it was a look of anger with a cold expression that he got from Airin, the woman he saw and met by accident.
And at his third meeting with Airin at the supermarket he also accidentally saw, making him again interested in the original identity of Airin. Especially at the meeting with Airin then, had messed up his mind, because it felt strange and confused him simultaneously.
Although he felt familiar with his face, he could not confirm his true identity.
In addition, there was a strange feeling when Darren saw Airin's face up close. When he was close to her, somehow the memory of the woman who always appeared in his dreams could appear in his memory vaguely, and somehow his heart reacted when he saw Airin directly. His feeling became strange as he looked at his face and felt an unexpected tremor in his heart.
"in 15 minutes we'll have a meeting, so I'd like to give you a proposal for a meeting later."
Lucas, who returned to serve as Darren's secretary, tried to provide material to be used in the meeting later. However, the Darren he spoke to was in his own world. He seemed to be pondering something with his serious face.
Lucas sees Darren unfocused when he talks. He flicked his two fingers to shift Darren's focus to him who was now standing in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Darren, who had regained his senses from his daydream, looked at Lucas who was in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Kernit Lucas. "I should have said so, what are you doing, Mr Darren, until I don't realize I'm here?" Say again.
"Sorry deh. Oh, you brought materials for the meeting, huh?" Darren, who was aware of the direction of the conversation intended by Lucas, now turned to look towards the proposal given by Lucas to him.
"Why the hell? Still think about that girl?" Lucas asked curiously.
"It's nothing, we're talking about this, just a moment later we want to enter the meeting room." Darren did not explain his heartbreak to Lucas and chose to turn him over to the proposal he would use for a meeting later.
Lucas did not debate it anymore and followed the rhythm of Darren who wanted to discuss about their material that will be used at the company's monthly meeting.
...
15 Minutes passed, and the two entered the meeting room to discuss the movement of product sales figures that have been made by the company that is being led by Darren at this time.
Although he had felt an uneasy feeling because he thought of the woman who always appeared in his dreams and memories, also at his meeting with Airin, but when the meeting had begun, he said, Darren looks to still be able to focus on the meeting. Strict carrying in meetings, making it look authoritative and charismatic.
"Sales this month are indeed up, but the rising numbers are not too significant, so the profits are not too felt in the company. I hope there is an improvement in terms of improving product quality, so that the products distributed out are the best quality products, so sales will go up. Marketing strategy should also not be monotonous anymore, because I see there are still people trying to maintain the old way, which looks no longer effective if used in the present era." Darren said when giving opinions and directions in meetings.
Everyone watched every sentence that Darren as their leader. Take notes and listen carefully to what Darren has to say. That's how the meeting finally went smoothly for 30 minutes. Although there was a difference of opinion and difference of voice, but Darren can still handle the meeting which finally can provide the best solution for the company he leads.
"We'll see how it will work, after behaving so can they account for his words?" Reply Darren who looks satisfied with the results of today's meeting and seems to ignore the protests of the doubters.
His young age with his flying hours are still new to the company. Making Darren get doubts from various parties, especially for the company leaders who have long been with the company as long as Darren left home. All seem to doubt the leadership Darren did, even though Darren is the successor to the company in the future.
"They're hostile to the wrong people"
Although previously Darren did not want to continue the company owned by his grandfather, therefore he chose to leave the house and out of his own family members. However, because there is a company that was handled by his late mother first, making him inevitably involved in it and choose to rejoin the company.
...
Darren is back in his room with Lucas. He relaxed for a moment after coming out of the war in his meeting earlier.
"I've brought you tea. Drink, at least relieve your fatigue with this tea." Lucas, who is out for a while, returns with tea for Darren and for himself.
"Thanks." -." Darren takes the tea Lucas gives him, and starts drinking it.
"Ren, about your departure to Melbourne, what should you do?"
"Why ask me again about that, I told you yesterday."
"Looking at your condition just now was worrying, how about you go, try?"
"Here you go, I don't want to talk about that anymore. I want to talk about something else." Darren put down the teacup he was holding.
"Other questions? About what else do you mean?" Lucas, who was sitting, looked at Darren in confusion.
"You remember Laura, right?"
"Yes, I remember. Why indeed?"
"I asked for developments about him, afraid he would do other reckless things."
"Remember, I've been spying on him after he came back. His family no longer has any problems." It was Lucas who calmed Darren down.
"Good, seeing his attitude I'm still not sure he'll be quiet even though I've warned him."
