But unlike now, Naila who suddenly disappeared made him regret his actions. Why had he held back then and didn't ask? Now he doesn't know where to look for Naila's whereabouts.
"I'll ask Anna where Naila is, maybe she knows sothing, don't worry," said Devan, who couldn't stand seeing his cousin's worried face.
"Really? Okay, then just ask now," Leo replied.
"No," said Devan imdiately, causing his cousin to glare at him with disapproval.
"Co on, don't you feel sorry for ?" Leo whined instantly changing his facial expression.
"I changed my mind."
"Ha? What do you an?" Leo asked, his brow furrowed in confusion.
Devan didn't answer, instead, the man played with his cellphone as if ignoring the man who was none other than his cousin.
"You don't want to help ?" Leo asked a little whining.
"Devan, co on. Just one more ti," he added and rubbed his head roughly.
Hearing that, Devan sighed harshly, then turned to the man who had been talking to him for a long ti.
At the sa ti, a cell phone ringing sounded in the room, it was from Leo's cell phone.
"I've sent Anna's contact, you call her," said Devan.
Hearing that, Leo fell silent and imdiately checked his cell phone. In the next second, a smile appeared on his lips.
Devan snorted, then rose from his position.
"Where are you going?" Leo asked.
"Should I report to you?"
Leo just put on an innocent smile.
"Then be careful," Leo said when he didn't get a reply from the man.
Devan just glanced at him, didn't give any response until he disappeared behind the door.
After his cousin left, Leo didn't want to wait any longer and imdiately dialed Anna's contacts.
"Hello," Leo said ahead of ti just as soone picked up the phone.
"Hello," ca a boy's voice from the other end so Leo could imdiately guess who he was talking to.
"Dave, where's your mother?" Leo asked directly.
"Sorry, who is this? And why are you looking for my mother?"
Leo chuckled at the boy's signature voice.
"I'm Leo, Dave. You can't forget , can you?"
"Uncle Leo?"
"Yeah, it's , Dave. Where's your mother dear? Why are you answering the phone?" Leo asked.
"How are you, Uncle? Ah yes, Mom and I have moved house, Uncle, don't co to that house again, okay? There's no one there anymore," said Dave, an answer that didn't match Leo's question.
Hearing that, Leo sighed harshly, for the first ti he was ignored by a little boy, especially his nephew.
"I'm fine, how about you, Dave? So you guys don't live in that house anymore?" Leo asked, looking like he was going to have to be a little patient.
"Um, we are fine too, Uncle. Mom and I are at Granpa's now, Uncle. If you want to visit, just co here," Dave replied, sounding very enthusiastic.
"Granpa?"
"Right, Uncle. Ah yes, is Aunt Naila with you? I miss her so much, since Mom and I moved, I never saw her again," Dave replied.
Leo took a deep breath, it seed Devan was right.
"Yes dear, later when I have ti, I will go there," said Leo.
"Are you promise, uncle? but you have to take Aunt Naila, okay?"
Leo smiled blankly, "Yes honey, then may I ask another question?" he said.
"Erm, what is Uncle?"
"Where's your mother? I want to talk to her, honey. Only a mont."
"But my mom is in the bathroom, Uncle," Dave said over the phone.
"Really? Then, pass on my ssage to call back when she's out, okay?"
"Of course, Uncle. I'll tell you later," Dave replied.
"Then I'll hang up first okay, honey."
"Okay, Uncle."
"Ah wait a minute, what would Dave want for a gift if I visited?" Leo asked before ending the call.
"Nothing, Uncle. I just wanted to see Aunt Naila," Dave replied.
Again, Leo took a deep breath when he heard the girl's na.
"Okay, I'll co with Aunt Naila," Leo said.
"Okay, Uncle. I'll be waiting."
"Yes, honey."
"Bye, Uncle," Dave replied and after that, the call ended.

Ti passed so quickly, after the day Devan and his extended family t, the man never saw them again. He returned to focus on his busy life as usual at the office.
Only, this ti he had a new habit. Almost every hour he contacted Claire, even in a eting though.
Regarding the news that had spread on social dia, of course, it has beco a hot conversation between employees in the office, whenever and wherever.
But it only lasted a few days, at first, Devan chose to let them. But not this ti, in the end, he took action.
His ears were hot to hear the various kinds of gossip, so of them even exaggerated to make his earshot.
And today, he had fired ten employees for talking about his marriage to Byanca, and the news quickly spread like wind through the rooms and people's ears. Make anyone shudder and silence.
No one else dared to discuss Devan's marriage with Byanca again. Even though their curiosity was intense, no one dared to talk about it, no one dared even ntion the woman's na.
The reason is, the news suddenly appeared in the dia, making all people surprised because there was never any news before that Devan Atmadja, who is the CEO of D.A group is close to a woman. Not only that, the news that had spread so widely didn't even last twenty-four hours and had already disappeared, no longer be found in any dia.
And it manages to raise a big question mark and so many other public assumptions.
Also, several investors who wish to cooperate with the D.A group confird this directly to Devan, simply wanting to know the sustainability of the company in the future. Many of them were worried that the news that suddenly disappeared would be harmfull to all of them. They also asked him to hold a press conference to clarify the issue of marriage which had beco a trending topic.
Even so of them, imdiately Terminate cooperation because their cooperation no longer brings benefits to both parties, because of the ergence of public assumptions that greatly affect and also harm them.
In just a few days, the company suffered heavy losses. Even so, Devan didn't panic or feel hopeless at all. The man was still as calm as ever as if nothing had happened.
As it is now, Devan relaxed in his chair in his room, facing the tall buildings that seed to fill the whole of City J, sipping coffee that was still steaming.
Seems to have no worries.
