4 MEET ARDHAM

Nadine and Marvin stare in awe of a sizable corporate office where the company is only part of a subsidiary of a well-known CEO who is none other than Ardham Devanka.

Nadine turned to Marvin, who was still calling secretary Ardham.

"How, so what time can we meet Ardham?" Nadine asked

"Around four in the afternoon, in an hour, we'd better get things ready quickly." Marvin replied as he pulled Nadine's hand into Ardham's office area.

Nadine followed Marvin's steps and left her hand in Marvin's grip. Marvin takes Nadine to the elevator to the 25th floor, where Ardham's office is located.

Exiting the elevator Marvin immediately met Secretary Ardham.

"Sorry, I am Marvin who has an appointment to interview Mr. Ardham for our course material." Marvin explained while greeting secretary Ardham.

Nadine also greeted him.

"Please enter the meeting room over there in the corner, Mr. Ardham will meet you in an hour." said Ardham Secretary politely with a smile on his face. Marvin and Nadine said their thanks, and walked into the meeting room which was in the corner.

The room looks quite big.

Marvin opened the door first and made way for Nadine to enter first.

Nadine smiled flatterly.

Nadine's footsteps were so slow, with her eyes staring at all corners of the room.

Right in the middle of the wall of the room is a very large size photo of a golden engraved pigtail.

The photo of a well-known CEO Ardham Devanka with his standing position adds to his good looks and dignity.

Nadine saw it without blinking, her heart running, wanting to caress the handsome face in the big photo.

"Just looking at the photo, my heart runs fast, let alone meet the person." Nadine pressed against his chest.

"Very handsome, right?" Marvin asked, startling Nadine from her reverie.

"Hem." Nadine couldn't say anything more, her lips sighing with sigh.

"Come on, now we prepare the recording device and some photos for later documentation, as well as some question scripts that I have made, are you the interviewer or am I?" Marvin asked, taking out his camera and tape recorder.

"Just you Marv, I'll take the pictures later." Nadine replied

"Okay, let's work now ... we only have half an hour left." said Marvin walking to the front seat and put some recorders there, and handed the camera to Nadine.

Nadine swiftly accepted the camera and set it up.

Seriously, Marvin sat down beside Nadine and chose a few more serious questions just in case Ardham gave him just a little time.

Nadine saw Marvin focused on his notes, and occasionally Nadine glanced at the entrance wishing Ardham would come soon.

Indeed, half an hour, it felt like an century, felt so long.

Time continues, from minute to minute, until only seconds to seconds.

Nadine grabbed her chest which started pounding while Marvin was tidying the paper he had arranged.

"click"

The door opened, there was a man who was handsome like a Greek god, with a very handsome face and cold gaze, his black hair was neatly combed, and his long thick eyebrows, and his sharp nose and thin lips, really looked very perfect as a person. Ardham devanka.

Nobody would have believed Ardham if he was three-headed.

Nadine followed Marvin, who immediately stood up when Ardham entered.

Nadine's hands and skin felt cold, her heart seemed to stop beating, her gaze was right on Ardham's bead, who was also staring at her.

But Ardham quickly turned his gaze towards Marvin.

Immediately Marvin approached Ardham and greeted him. Ardham smiled slightly, and invited Marvin to sit back down to his place.

Nadine still stood there motionless, until Marvin pulled her hand to sit down.

Nadine became embarrassed, not knowing what to do, her mind was blank.

Her heart languished and hurt, Ardham's eyes and demeanor seemed unfamiliar to her.

It really hurt her. Nadine let go of her breath harshly, and brushed her whiny heart, she must be strong, must be strong and must not show her sadness.

Nadine opens the cover of her camera and begins taking pictures of Ardham which Marvin will be interviewing.

Ardham took his seat casually, but his gaze turned to Marvin without blinking.

Marvin, who was already preparing with some of his questions, turned his gaze towards the door because someone opened it without knocking.

Nadine also followed Marvin's eyes to the door.

"DHEG"

"Aunt Anna!" Nadine called herself.

"Did I surprise you?" asked Anna with a very friendly smile. Anna took turns looking at Nadine, Marvin and Ardham's faces.

Anna approached Marvin and Nadine, Marvin quickly grabbed Nadine's shoulder to stand up.

With a respectful smile Marvin greeted Anna. Nadine also greets Anna. Nadine thinks that Anna will act as if she doesn't know her like Ardham to her. but really unexpected. Anna hugged Nadine with great pleasure.

"Nadine? You're Nadine, right?" Ask Anna with a large smile.

Nadine, who was still in Anna's arms, nodded respectfully, her lips feeling sigh.

Marvin, who doesn't know Anna's relationship with Nadine yet, just stares with a questioning mind.

"Here Nad, sit close to aunt." Anna patted the soft chair beside her, while Anna sat beside Ardham. Like a puppy, Nadine could only obey what her aunt said.

Nadine sit down, heartbroken. Marvin could only open his mouth with a look of disbelief.

"Aunt? Means that Nadine is Anna's nephew, then Anna who is Ardham?" Marvin's mind spun fast.

Ardham who saw Marvin's behavior earlier, could only take a deep breath, so very deep.

"Aunt An, sorry I can't sit here, because here I got an assignment from my lecturer to interview Mr. Ardham as a famous CEO in N. city." Nadine describes her arrival with a heart that is really hurt, seeing her aunt Anna is still with her uncle Ardham.

"Don't call Mr. to your own uncle Nadine." Anna advises Nadine.

Marvin, who heard Anna's words, was even more surprised.

"So Nadine Ardham's nephew? Why did Nadine keep it a secret, and seemed not to know Ardham when i showed Ardham's photo?" Marvin scratched his neck, it seems like something is very complicated.

"Very well Mr. Ardham, can we start the interview?" Marvin tried to break the ice by focusing on his interview.

"Please." replied Ardham in his deep, distinctive voice, which to Nadine sounded very sexy and thrilled her heart.

MARVIN'S LUCKS

A little nervous Marvin fixed his tape which was placed on Ardham's front desk. Marvin started his questions and answers about Ardham's personal life.

"If I may know, since what age did you start this company so big and become famous?"

"From the age of 24, I started learning to run a company, which I couldn't refuse." Ardham replied casually.

"By starting from one company to dozens of companies ... there must be encouragement from someone behind you, is it true that someone has made you so excited to work?" Marvin's question had started to enter Ardham's private shutter. Ardham looked at Anna meaningfully. Anna showed a smile when Ardham looked at her. Anna's eyes glanced at Nadine, who focused on her camera.

"It's true ... there is a woman who has been encouraging me since 12 years ago ... until now that woman has inspired me to make this company grow ... I do all this for her sake." Ardham's eyes dimmed slightly even though his voice was still cold. Nadine's heart ached at Ardham's answer.

"Who is that woman? Who is able to encourage Ardham who is so cold? It must be Anna, because Anna is the only one who has been accompanying Ardham, wherever Ardham goes.

Marvin let go of his smile with Ardham's answer that looks like someone in love, Marvin began to guess with his mind and manifested in his question.

"If I may guess ... is it Mrs. Anna?" Marvin looked at Ardham and turned to Anna, with the slightest smile.

"No!" replied Anna.

"Yes, right." said Ardham

Anna and Ardham answered simultaneously but with different answers, causing Marvin and Nadine to look at each other.

"Which is correct? Mr. Ardham's answer, or Mrs. Anna?" asked Marvin in turn.

"Anna ... correct what I answered? You don't need to cover it up anymore!" Ardham said coldly. looked at Anna.

"And your nephew also knows, if Anna is my lover and has been my wife since 7 years ago, right Nadine?" Ardham explained and asked Nadine.

Nadine's heart sank, her eyes turned away. Really he didn't want to answer Ardham's question which had hurt him on purpose. Marvin turned to Nadine.

"Is that really Nadine?" Marvin asked for certain. Nadine nodded heavily.

"So the issue beyond saying Mr Ardham has never been married and is known to be so cold to all women, is that wrong?" Marvin asked Ardham.

Ardham did not answer Marvin's question.

"Mr. Ardham ... is it true that Mrs. Anna is your wife ... can this be a clarification?" if the issue outside is not true? "

Ardham's eyes were a little irritated by Marvin's question, who was very curious about his life.

"It's true, Anna is my wife ... but I ask this thing not to come out there ... enough only you and Nadine to know ... because it will be a big problem if it spreads out ... for issues beyond let only. " Ardham explained,

Anna, who only heard Ardham's answers and words, could only sighed deeply. Of all Ardham's words, only Anna knows how Ardham and all Ardham's heart is. Actually, Anna was hurt the most here, her heart was really hurt, but because she loved Ardham so much, she was willing to make sacrifices wherever Ardham was. Even Anna is willing to follow Ardham to the city of T, leaving Nadine alone.

Ardham smiled coldly, and turned to look at Marvin.

"Now ... I will ask you. You come all the way from the city of N, just alone with Nadine, what is your relationship?" Ardham asked directly at the question that had been filling his mind and mind.

Marvin's mouth was about to answer Ardham's question, but Nadine quickly answered.

"We are lovers, we happen to be in the same campus, and we both got an assignment from lecturer Mr. Anwar to interview the most successful CEO in our city ... so we came here." Nadine replied begging about her relationship with Marvin, Nadine didn't want to look weak in Ardham's eyes.

Marvin's mouth opened slightly with a face that looks innocent, hearing Nadine's confession, who admits he is Nadine's lover.

Marvin's heart cheers, today is his lucky day, without having to find a way to make Nadine his lover, Nadine herself has given him a way out. Marvin's face looked happy with a smile on his lips.

"Really ... what did Nadine say, Marv?" Ardham asked with a look that asked for honesty.

Marvin nodded quickly, isn't this what he really wanted? make Nadine his lover?

Ardham's eyes dropped, then looked up at Nadine with a complicated gaze.

"Thank God if Nadine now has a lover ... wait uncle ... uncle will soon return to the house with Anna, we will be together again.

Nadine looked at Ardham with a look that did not understand, why only now Ardham will return home after knowing Nadine already has a lover.

Nadine's heart is really getting hurt ... Ardham came back not for her love ... Ardham came back only because Ardham felt safe from his interference, what is your heart really made of uncle? why do you hate me so much? Is it I wrong if I love you? "screamed Nadine's heart.
