Chapter 113 - 113. Make Peace With Herself

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Naila asked when she felt Anna's gaze on her.

"Is there something on my face?" she asked again with one hand pointing at her face.

Anna immediately woke up from her daydream, "Emm, there's food residue on the corner of your lips," Anna replied and then turned her gaze to another direction.

"Is that true?" Naila immediately wiped her lips and it was true.

"Eat slowly, there's no need to rush," said Anna.

"Eh, I'm sorry."

"I'm just too happy with the service here, Anna. Even though I'm just a Babysitter but the Maid treats me not much different from you," replied Naila.

"Ah yes, did your husband come back last night? I haven't seen her at all since being here," she asked again and it managed to stop Anna's hand which was spreading strawberry jam on the bread in her hand, but only a few seconds, and then it moved again.

"Um..." Anna mumbled.

Hearing the woman's response, Naila did not ask again. For some reason, whenever she talked about Brian, Anna always gave an unusual response.

Is it just a feeling? Or is Anna just like that? Naila hesitated a little.

"Naila ..." called Anna hanging right after ending her breakfast.

The girl immediately turned around, "Ahem? What's wrong? You need something?" asked Naila.

"I have something to tell you," Anna replied, her voice lower than before.

Looks like Anna has made peace with herself and has already made up her mind about what she will do in the future with Naila.

"What is it? Just say it, don't hesitate," replied Naila.

"Wait after he naps later," Anna said with a glance at her son who was still busy with a piece of bread in his hand.

"What's the matter? Hearing the way you talk looks like something serious?"

"Keep your voice down, don't let people outside hear it," said Anna.

Naila's brow furrowed faintly, "Okay."

"But why are you bringing it up now when you're only going to tell me this afternoon?" asked Naila a little surprised.

"No, I just want you to spare a little of your time."

"My time is always free Anna. Since becoming Dave's babysitter, I've had a great time. whenever you need something I will always help you, as well as if you need a place to tell stories, I can be a good listener for you, whenever and wherever it is," replied Naila at length in one breath.

Anna smiled lightly hearing the response of the girl next to her, "Thank you, Naila," Anna said then the girl nodded.

"Is something bothering you? Or has something happened recently?" Naila asked a little curious about what Anna would say to her later.

Anna nodded. "Wait, later, I'll tell you all about me, all without leaving it to you," answered Anna.

"Okay, it's up to you. I will always be ready to hear it anytime," replied Naila.

Anna only responded with a nod.

D.A Group

Leo had been in Devan's study for a long time without any intention of moving, the man didn't make a sound either.

With his body stretched out on the sofa, Leo closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

Devan who saw his cousin's behavior frowned.

"Why did you visit me?" asked Devan who could not stand Leo's behavior. Even though it was still very early in the morning, and his cousin had come to disturb him.

Getting no response, he then got up from his sitting position leaning on his oversized chair, walking towards the sofa where Leo was.

"Don't tell me you came here just to sleep?"

"You'd better go, I'm busy."

Leo still didn't budge from his position making Devan chuckle.

"DEVAN...." Leo suddenly got up, the man immediately took a sitting position and managed to make a Devan startled because of his very sudden movement.

"I want to ask you," Leo said again without waiting for a response from Devan.

"If you just want to talk nonsense, then get out of here."

"Listen to me first," Leo said.

One of Devan's eyebrows rose, since yesterday his cousin's behavior was a little strange.

"I don't have time to hear your ramblings."

"Come on, this has bothered me."

"Two minutes."

"Ten minutes."

"Two minutes or nothing?"

"All right, all right," Leo said.

"Say it then get out of here."

"Don't you like having me around you?" Leo asked.

"Tsk, scram. I'm busy."

"Wait, wait. I was just kidding," Leo said.

Devan snorted at Leo's words.

"I want you to be honest, Devan."

"What happened between you and Anna five years ago?" the man asked in a very serious tone of voice.

"There is not any."

"You're hiding something from me?"

"For what? There's no profit for me," replied Devan.

"Okay, I assume this is an honest answer from you," Leo said again.

"What is going on?"

"Why are you bringing up that woman again. She sent her resignation letter yesterday," Devan added.

"No, I was just curious," Leo replied curtly. A few days ago when he was at a shopping mall, Leo accidentally met Anna's son again, a boy who even had almost the same name as his cousin, not only that after seeing him up close. The boy he knew whose name was Dave was indeed very similar to Devan.

Maybe you could say that Dave is a small version of a Devan?

Even though he had met Anna and her son in the city park a few weeks ago, only at that time he had only glimpsed her at a distance that could not be said to be close.

Unlike the other day.

Let's say Leo has very crazy thoughts.

After that meeting, he couldn't calm down before confirming it with Devan again.

And yesterday he called the man because of this. Even though it was clear that Anna already had a life partner, her mind was still filled with things that didn't make sense.

"Just that?" he asked.

Leo rubbed the back of his neck with a smile.

"Get out, you're wasting my time," Devan said then returned to his desk, leaving Leo alone on the couch.

"You were so mean to me, Devan. Aren't you used to be a little nicer?" Leo asked in an artificially sad tone.

"Get married fast and stop bothering me."

Leo laughed at Devan's words.

"How is your relationship with Byanca?" Leo asked changing the subject.

"Do not know."

"Huh? Haven't you ever contacted her?"

"No."

"Not even once?"

"Emm," answered Devan with a mumble, his eyes refocused on the monitor screen in front of him.

"Devan, you seriously never did anything with Anna, did you?" Leo asked again as if dissatisfied with the answer his cousin had given him a moment ago.

Suddenly Devan turned to him, "Do what? What answer do you want?"

"Answer? Erm like making children, maybe?"

"Ahahah, no, no.. I'm just kidding," Leo said immediately when he got a glare from his cousin.
