"Sweetheart, what if your dad doesn't like me?"

Aura looked uneasy as her boyfriend was about to introduce her to his future father-in-law.

Since being picked up, Aura had looked tense and her hands felt cold with nervousness.

"Don't worry, honey, my dad is a good man," Mario's answer didn't reassure Aura.

"Relax, don't be tense... we're going to meet my dad, not a wild beast," Mario said while caressing the back of his lover's hand.

Aura took a few breaths and exhaled until she felt a little calmer.

Aura Melati is a beautiful woman with thin lips and a pointed nose, her smooth white skin and professional model-like body make her the target of many men. The 23-year-old woman has been in a relationship with Mario for almost two years.

Aura lives in an apartment that she has rented for almost a year since working in a city company. As for Mario, they have been dating since college. Aura, who lives alone, chose to live independently when she started working, before that Aura lived in an orphanage.

During their relationship, Aura didn't want to be introduced to Mario's dad. The reason was that she wasn't ready, especially since she felt unworthy of dating a rich man's son.

Soon the white sports car entered the large black fence that towered. Aura, who was seeing it for the first time, stared in admiration. The two-story European-style house was so amazing, especially when Aura saw a beautiful garden next to the yard.

Ting

A message came into Aura's phone, the woman glanced at the message sent by someone she had known for almost a year through social media. They exchanged numbers because they felt compatible just for chatting.

"What are you doing?"

A simple question, but it made Aura's thin pink lips smile.

"I'm on a date with my boyfriend, and tonight I'm invited to meet his dad, I'm nervous and worried that his dad won't like me, who is just an ordinary woman," Aura replied to the short message from that person.

"Sweetheart!"

Mario's voice, who had opened the car door, made Aura look up and smile.

"Who are you replying to?" Mario asked possessively.

Aura only smiled faintly, "A friend, honey, come on..."

As Aura got out of the car, her phone rang again, and there was a reply from someone Aura believed was a friend.

"Don't worry, everyone will like you... you are a good and virtuous woman...good luck.."

Aura just sighed and smiled, the woman became more confident after being sure that she was worthy of Mario.

The two walked side by side to the large and tall door, until the big door opened and the figure of a middle-aged woman appeared opening it.

"Good evening, Master Mario," greeted the middle-aged woman who Aura believed was the housemaid of Mario's dad.

"Evening, bik, is dad home yet?" Mario asked as he walked in holding Aura's hand.

"Yes, Master, Sir is still in his room, come..."

The woman smiled at the beautiful woman who was the lover of her master's son.

The three of them headed to the dining table which had been prepared with dishes that had many menus.

Aura was momentarily stunned, but she remembered who her lover was. Surely this much food meant nothing to people with a lot of money.

"Please sit down, Sir, I'll call the master first."

Mario pulled out a chair for Aura to sit down, "Thank you, honey," Aura said with a smile to Mario.

"You're welcome," Mario returned the smile and sat beside Aura.

Until the two heard footsteps descending the stairs, Aura stood up for a moment when she saw a tall, upright figure who still looked handsome and dashing walking towards the dining table. Aura was even speechless seeing the handsome man with his mature charm.

"Dad, this is Aura, Mario's lover," Mario immediately touched Aura's waist possessively.

The handsome man with a firm face and sharp gaze looked at the woman introduced by his son for a moment.

"Good evening, Uncle.." Aura greeted nervously, her smile looking stiff.

"Evening, Aura.." Mario's dad replied briefly.

Mario invited Aura to sit down while holding his woman's hand which felt cold.

"Enjoy, sweetheart," Mario whispered beside Aura's ear.

Aura smiled stiffly and sat back down with a nervous expression.

"Dad, my lover is scared to see your expression like that,"

Mario's words immediately made Aura look at her lover.

Meanwhile, Mario seemed to chuckle innocently.

Haikal seemed to sigh, glancing at Aura who was sitting as if under pressure.

"Just relax, Aura, people who see me for the first time are like that." Haikal said, smiling faintly.

Aura nodded slightly, and they passed dinner with light conversation, more precisely Mario talked more while Aura was mostly silent if not asked.

"So Aura actually works at my dad's branch office," Mario said, informing.

Aura herself was quite surprised to hear that, during her time working as a secretary she didn't know that the office where she worked was owned by her lover's father.

Meanwhile, Mario just smiled, he had never told his lover about the office where she worked. Because Mario himself works at the head office with his father.

"So what part do you work in, Aura?" Haikal asked without looking at Aura, the mature man was still enjoying the food in front of him casually.

Aura herself judged that the man sitting in front of her was too young to have a child Mario's age.

'Ah, why am I thinking about him, maybe he got married young when he got Mario,' Aura thought.

"Em, I'm Mr. Enggar's secretary," Aura replied politely.

Haikal's head nodded, "Yes, Enggar is a good boss, I hope you enjoy it."

Aura nodded.

Arriving at the apartment, Aura threw herself on the bed, after Mario took her to the front door, the woman immediately entered the room.

"Not too bad of an introduction," Aura muttered, remembering her meeting with Haikal Mario's father earlier.

Aura sighed, "So all this time I've been working at Mario's father's company, why didn't I know." She said again while staring at the ceiling of the room.

"How much wealth does Mario's family have, why am I so insecure," she muttered again with a weighing mind.

"Ahh, why am I thinking about everything now, didn't I already know before, besides Mario knows my situation and he doesn't mind it."

Ting

Aura grabbed her phone which rang with a message notification coming in again.

Blue sky...

"How is it, isn't it okay...you were well received, right?"

Aura widened her smile reading the message from someone she named Blue Sky. Because the man's profile picture only has blue clouds forming a love.

"Hu'um, it turns out my anxiety was unfounded, he's good, and I also didn't expect that all this time I've been working at my lover's father's office."

Aura seemed happy to tell about her meeting earlier, without really knowing who the man she named Blue Sky was.

Morning at 7:00 AM

Skylight Apartment...

"Looks like you had a pleasant morning, Aura?"

Aura, who had just stepped out and locked her apartment door, smiled upon hearing the voice from next to her room.

"Yes, I slept quite soundly last night, Lisa."

The woman named Lisa simply smiled in response.

"You shouldn't have wasted your emotions just thinking about meeting Mario's parents, if in the end you'd be this happy," Lisa said, putting her arm around Aura's shoulder.

They both walked towards the elevator. Working in the same office and living in the same place had made them close over the past few years. They often shared stories, or rather, Aura shared more with Lisa.

"Yes, you're right. Yesterday I was so nervous and scared that Mario's father wouldn't like me, but it turned out to be just my fear. Mario's father is very kind." Aura recounted with a gleam of happiness in her eyes.

She was indeed very happy and relieved after meeting Mario's parents, who turned out to be accepting of her.

"Congratulations then, Aura, I'm happy for you. I hope I get to experience the happiness you feel too, may my boyfriend's parents also accept me," Lisa's words made Aura smile as she stroked Lisa's arm.

"Of course, Lis, you're a good and beautiful woman, I'm grateful to have met you as a good friend."

They both left for the office, which wasn't far from Aura's apartment. It only took them 20 minutes to reach the city office, which was considered large as a branch office.

"Good morning, Miss Aura," the security guard greeted Aura as she arrived, even though they were walking together with Lisa, only Aura was greeted by name.

And that was enough to make Lisa feel annoyed.

"Good morning to you too, Mr. Teguh," Aura replied with her ever-sweet smile.

They both walked towards the elevator doors. Their offices were on different floors. Aura was the secretary to their superior, while Lisa was just a staff member.

"Bye... let's meet for lunch later," Aura said, waving her hand as Lisa exited the elevator on the fifth floor.

"Okay... have a nice day," Lisa replied with her usual smile.

After the elevator doors closed, Lisa exhaled roughly, her lips that had been curved into a smile now turning gloomy.

"Honey... can we meet at hotel xxx tonight..."

Lisa wrote a message to her boyfriend's contact, and within seconds her message was replied to, which made Lisa's lips curve into a perfect smile.

"Aura, please come to my office,"

"Yes, sir..."

Aura hung up the telecommunications line on her desk. The 23-year-old woman got up from her seat and headed to her superior's office.

Knock...Knock...Knock...

"Come in, Aura!"

The call from inside made Aura push the large door open.

"What is it, sir?" Aura asked as she stood in front of her superior's desk, a man named Enggar.

"It seems you have to deliver these important documents to the head office, Aura. The big boss asked for them directly. And coincidentally, you're the one handling this project, so only you can explain everything to the superiors." Enggar said, handing over the important documents.

Aura seemed silent for a moment, this was her first assignment to set foot in the head office.

"Alright, sir, I'll go there." Aura took the files that Mr. Enggar gave her.

"Hu'um, and one more thing. Let me tell you, the big boss is known to be fierce and seems cold. So don't offend him, okay," Mr. Enggar's last words were accompanied by a small chuckle.

"Yes, sir," Aura smiled and excused herself.

Hotel xxx

"Ummm,,,this is good, honey, keep sucking..."

A woman was half-closing her eyes, feeling pleasure as her breasts were exposed and sucked on strongly in turns.

Even her upper body was naked with her pencil skirt already up to her stomach as she sat on the thighs of a man, facing each other.

The woman even squeezed the hair of the man who continued to give her a pleasant sensation that kept burning her bloodstream, until she felt her head spinning because she wanted something more.

Thud

The woman roughly pushed the chest of the man who was already burning with passion, until the woman slowly moved down in a crawling motion and opened the belt that was still locking something inside that felt hard like wood.

"Huh..you always torture me, honey, but you won't be able to resist the temptation I'm going to give you," the woman smiled teasingly with the corner of her lip bitten.

"Hahh...I can never resist all your temptations, baby...I'm always satisfied with yours," without embarrassment the man helped the woman to make it easier to release the cage down there.

"You will always be satisfied with me, honey, because of that you will never be satisfied with that holier-than-thou woman!" There was a hint of irritation in the woman's tone of voice when discussing another woman.

Meanwhile, the man who was already aroused under his woman's body reached out his hand and led the woman to the area below his stomach.

"There's nothing better than my baby's service, she won't be able to match your greatness, akkhhh..."

The man was frustrated when suddenly his weapon was sucked on strongly without warning, until the atmosphere of the VVIP hotel room was immediately filled with two voices answering each other.

Aura sighed as she looked at the magnificent and tall building like a pyramid. The beautiful woman's face was so enthusiastic and confident as she entered the HKL.Inc building.

Aura was greeted warmly by the receptionist, and even taken to the front of the elevator to go to the 15th floor.

"Miss will meet Mr. Haikal's secretary on the fifteenth floor," said a female receptionist politely.

"Thank you," Aura bowed her body slightly to pay respect, before the elevator doors closed and took her to her destination.

Aura was alone in the elevator, she deliberately didn't contact her boyfriend Mario who was indeed in this office. Because she just wanted to deliver the important files first. Maybe Aura would contact Mario after her task was finished.

Ting

The elevator doors opened on the fifteenth floor, at the same time as two men who wanted to enter the elevator where Aura was inside.

"Good afternoon, sir," Aura greeted politely while bowing her body to the tall and sturdy figure in front of her.

"Are you delivering the files that Enggar asked for?" Haikal asked without throwing a smile at Aura who greeted him with a warm smile.

"I have it, sir," Aura took three steps forward to get out of the elevator and stood beside Haikal's body while handing over the file in question.

"Thank you, Miss, you came on time," it wasn't Haikal who answered, but Beni who answered and took the file from Aura's hand.

Aura just smiled and replied, "You're welcome, sir," she said politely.

"Come with us," Haikal said, walking into the elevator.

Aura didn't object, she followed the two men who would take her who knows where, what was clear was that Enggar had ordered her to follow what the big boss ordered.

"He's the big boss, as well as my future father-in-law.. how can I be in a situation like this," Aura thought, biting her lower lip with her head bowed.

But because the elevator walls were lined with glass, Haikal, who was standing in front of Aura, saw how the girl was biting her thin lips, which made Haikal feel a sudden heat surging inside him.

"No, be aware..she's your son's future wife," Haikal thought.

At the five-star hotel restaurant, Haikal met with his business partner along with his assistant and Aura. Beni walked behind Haikal with Aura. Haikal was in front of them as their boss.

Upon entering the private room that had been reserved, a waiter opened the door where two people were already sitting and waiting inside.

"Welcome, Mr. Haikal," greeted a man who was a few years older than Haikal.

"How are you, Mr. Handoko," Haikal returned the handshake of the man named Handoko.

They both smiled, "Good, you look more mature, Haikal," said Mr. Handoko accompanied by a chuckle.

"You flatter me, but indeed I am no longer young, sir,"

They sat in their respective chairs, the waiter only prepared drinks, because they would discuss work first.

"Everyone is here, this is Secretary Aura who holds our collaboration project," Haikal introduced Aura, greeted with a nod and a sweet smile from Aura.

"I thought you looked young because you have a young and beautiful secretary like Miss Aura," Mr. Handoko looked at Haikal with a wide grin.

"You always have a way with words, sir," Haikal replied without diminishing his politeness.

Aura began her presentation in front of the four men of different ages, deftly and clearly explaining how the project would be carried out. In addition, Aura also explained in detail what should be considered to support the sale of the apartment units that would be built, in addition to adult facilities, Aura also added several playgrounds for children.

"Maybe most apartments are only for investment or bought by young entrepreneurs, but here I think we will make a new apartment launch with family designs and facilities, it may sound a bit strange, but after I observed a few things, many families also buy apartment units, on weekends they will take a vacation spending time with a new atmosphere." Aura said full of sparkle, as if she had just told a story of a family who wanted a new atmosphere to spend time together.

Meanwhile, without Aura realizing it, since she spoke, a pair of eyes stared at her in amazement. Not only Haikal felt Aura's idea was brilliant, but Mr. Handoko also acknowledged it.

Clap...clap...clap...

"Wow...a very good idea, you must have surveyed before making all this," Mr. Handoko looked at Aura in amazement.

Aura smiled, "I also live in an apartment, sir, and so far I have seen a lot of how people seem to have desires, maybe using new innovations will make their dreams come true."

A message came into Aura's phone as she had just arrived at her apartment.

'Honey, I have a business trip abroad for a few days... Sorry I couldn't see you first because it was sudden...take care of yourself, I love you..'

Aura, who had just read the message from her lover Mario, sighed.

"Why didn't you say so earlier, at least I could have met him at the office earlier," she muttered to herself.

"Be careful, I hope your work is done quickly, take care of your health.. love you too.."

Aura replied to Mario's message and immediately entered her unit, but before she could close the door, the sound of the unit next door opening. Aura looked to the side again, she saw a suitcase that came out first followed by Lisa.

"Lis, are you going away?" Aura asked, approaching Lisa.

"Ah, yes Aura.. this weekend I will visit my parents out of town." Lisa said with a smile, hiding her nervousness that Aura suddenly caught.

Lisa thought Aura had gone home a while ago, because it was already eight o'clock at night.

"Oh, then say hello to your family," Aura approached and gave Lisa a brief hug as a farewell hug.

"I will definitely tell them later, Aura," Lisa returned Aura's brief hug and smiled.

"Be careful then,"

"You too ya.."

Lisa waved her hand at Aura, and Aura replied.

"Bye.."

Without suspicion, Aura chose to enter her unit to clean herself. Today's routine made her so tired, although her tiredness was paid off because she got a big project.

Dropping all her clothes on the floor, Aura immediately went into the bathroom to relax her sticky body.

Soaking in warm water with a very refreshing soap aroma made Aura unconsciously spend quite a long time. Until more than thirty minutes Aura had just finished and came out of the bathroom.

Bruk

"Huh... it feels very refreshing," Aura laid her body on her wide bed.

Until a few moments Aura almost fell asleep when her ears heard her cellphone ringing.

Ting

Her cellphone that was being charged rang again indicating a message had arrived. Aura got up to see whose message it was.

"I sent a food delivery service to your address, don't forget to have dinner after doing quite tiring work all day,"

Aura frowned as she read the long message with the new number. Soon there was a doorbell, making Aura get up from her place.

"Good evening, Miss, I'm delivering your order to this address,"

A food delivery man handed over a paperbag.

"Who sent this?" Aura asked.

"I don't know, I'm just delivering it."

After the food delivery man left, her cellphone rang again with a message.

"There's no poison in that food, so don't think negatively."

"Who is this," Aura typed something to reply to the message.

"Who are you? I will definitely think badly if I don't know the origin of this food,"

Send

Aura replied to the message and it was immediately read.

"As encouragement for your hard work today who got a big tender from Mr. Handoko... Haikal..."

Seeing the last name made Aura's eyes widen with her jaw gaping.

"M-Mr. Haikal..." Aura stammered.

Two days after the meeting of the collaboration agreement with Mr. Handoko, now Aura often visits the head office. After the weekend off, upon entering Aura was already busy with the project that would take place.

Today Aura had gone back and forth from the branch office to the head office twice, although tired but Aura was so enthusiastic remembering the collaboration tender that was entrusted so promising if it went smoothly.

"Miss, Mr. Haikal is waiting for you in the meeting room." Said the female receptionist when she saw Aura who had just arrived.

"Okay, thank you," Aura always spoke politely. Which makes people who are involved with her feel happy.

Tenth floor, Aura had just come out of the elevator and walked hastily to get to the meeting room, she thought her boss would meet in his workspace, but who would have thought that she had to go to the meeting room.

Ceklek

"Good afternoon, sorry I'm late,"

Aura lowered her face with her breath rising and falling after walking in a hurry.

"Please sit down, Miss Aura," said Beni, Haikal's assistant.

Aura nodded and walked towards the middle seat. Aura herself did not know why there were some people in the room that she did not know.

"Sir, the management of AlX company canceled the collaboration, after they waited for young master Mario who would make a visit but never arrived in LN."

Hearing the report from the person sitting in front of her table made Aura's eyes narrow.

"Wasn't Mario doing that meeting since two days ago?"

Everyone looked at each other, except Aura who did not know anything.

"No, sir, this morning AIX informed that they were disappointed with the promise that had been agreed with young master Mario."

Silent, no sound, until Haikal's heavy voice startled Aura.

"Make a repeat promise whatever it is, Aura will replace Mario."
