Chapter 25 - 25. Looking For The Girl



Five Years Later

D.A Group

_____________

The ringing of the cellphone distracted Devan who was leading the meeting, seeing the name listed on it made him immediately turn off the flat-shaped object without intending to pick it up.

Just glanced briefly then returned to continue the meeting.

"Okay, if there are no more questions. The meeting is over," he said ending the important meeting.

Devan left the meeting room with the secretary following him.

"Hand over the minutes in the afternoon," Devan said to the woman behind him without turning his head.

"Okay, Sir."

The man did not immediately return to his room, his steps were stopped when the cellphone in his shirt pocket rang again.

"How? Has there been any news?" said Devan first.

"...."

"It's been five years. You've only been looking for one person and haven't found her yet?" Devan snapped in a slightly high-pitched voice.

"..."

Devan took a deep breath while massaging his temple which did hurt when he heard the response from the other side of the phone.

"If you can't find the girl, just stop. I can hire someone else," the man replied then resumed his walk.

"Besides, I've given you many chances," he added.

"...."

"Okay, this is the last chance, find the girl or just stop," replied Devan then hung up the phone unilaterally.

The man returned to his room with a completely gloomy expression. He didn't know how many times a harsh sigh escaped from his lips.

He closed his eyes for a moment on the back of his oversized chair, the memory of the night five years ago still vivid in his mind.

'Where are you now, Anna.'

'Why suddenly disappeared without telling me?'

Since then, every time Devan tries to get close to a woman, the memory of that night always haunts him and often makes Devan end up leaving the woman he is with without touching her at all.

And finally, the man decided never to be close to any woman again. All he did was keep working and working just to forget what happened that night, even if only for a moment.

This torments him, no woman had ever made him feel this way, even though he and the girl were just strangers who met by accident, and ended up in bed because of his stupidity.

His guilt for the girl could not go away. He couldn't imagine how messed up the girl was, until she disappeared from his sight without leaving a trace.

Rising from his position then walking to the side of the room, gazing at the bustle of the busy City J below.

Knock... knock... knock...

There was a knock on the door, followed by the sound of footsteps entering the room.

"Someone wants to see you, sir," the voice of the woman he knew as his secretary greeted his ears.

"Say, I don't want to be disturbed," Devan replied in a voice that was so cold and flat without even turning his head.

"But, he made an appointment with you before, sir."

"Clarissa... Do I have to repeat what I said?" said Devan immediately turned and glared at the secretary, making the woman gasp.

"I-I'm sorry, sir."

"Then excuse me," she said again and then left the room with hasty steps.

And after that, Devan returned to wrestling with the files on his desk.

Until it was dark, the man had not left his room. All employees have also gone home. Leaving only him and the secretary.

Knock...knock...knock...

Clarissa reappeared behind the door and entered the room with a look on her face that seemed doubtful.

"What is it?" Devan asked when he sensed the presence of someone else in his room.

"I just wanted to remind you that it's late, sir," replied the secretary quietly.

"Is that true?" Devan immediately turned around and it was true, it was already very dark outside. He then glanced at the watch in his hand and sighed tiredly.

"You can go home," said the man, stopping his activities for a moment and leaning back on his chair.

"B-but what about with..."

"I don't like repeating my words," said Devan immediately cutting the secretary's words.

"All right, sir. Then thank you, I'll excuse myself," said the woman withdrew.

Devan just nodded and then stretched the muscles of his body that felt very stiff, until unconsciously the man fell asleep.

And only wakes up when the phone rings again.

Glancing at the screen, Devan just ignored it, as if the man had no intention of answering the calling at all.

It was Leo, his cousin.. And today, that man keeps bothering him making Devan feel uncomfortable.
