Being Proposed to By a Blind CEO

Mr. Kevin was already waiting for Gifer’s arrival while staring at the window of his room that led directly to the outside, which was the beautiful, crowded city of Jakarta when seen from up there. The middle-aged man sat at his desk, spinning his chair around while interlocking his fingers. Mr. Kevin’s brain began to think about Gifer coming to see him because yesterday he had gone to Gifer’s office but met the sweet man. And this morning Gifer suddenly called him and wanted to meet him at his Shinning Doll company.

“I can’t wait to see Gifer who is no longer blind. I think I’ll give him something interesting. Hmm… but what is it? He’s a nice guy and smart too. Maybe a car? Ah, he will definitely reject it on the grounds that he already has it and can buy it himself.” Mr. Kevin’s monologue, then he stood up from his sitting position and walked towards the window of his room, looking out there as if it could provide answers or even solutions to what he was thinking at the moment. But suddenly Mr. Kevin remembered something, his index finger seemed to code the number one which he swung several times.

“Right, I think it’s better to just give Gifer what he needs. Maybe if the company is having problems, I will help him. That’s all.” While he was struggling with his own thoughts, there was a sudden sound from outside the door of his room made of thick wood. The door was made just like Gifer’s company. Even so, the voice of the secretary could still be heard when there were guests who would meet him.

“Mr. Kevin, Mr. Gifer Fernandez would like to see you.” That was the secretary’s voice that he heard from outside his room. The voice sounded polite and ethical.

“Yes, please come in!” Mr. Kevin’s order which was a bit shouted so that his secretary could hear his voice.

“Please come in, Mr. Gifer.” The slender yellow-skinned girl who was dressed in an elegant office-style suit opened the door of Mr. Kevin’s room while inviting Gifer to enter the room.

Gifer smiled and nodded, then entered Mr. Kevin’s spacious room. He could see that a middle-aged man was still standing while staring at the window of the room. As if not knowing that Gifer was already present in the room.

“I’m already here, Mr. Kevin.” Gifer said while bowing his head slightly, only briefly out of respect for his elders, then straightened his head again.

Mr. Kevin had already noticed Gifer’s presence when the door of his room was opened by his secretary. But the middle-aged man was deliberately still standing there with his hands as if resting in place. When he heard Gifer’s voice, Mr. Kevin turned around and smiled at Gifer who was saluting him.

“Ah, you’ve finally come, Mr. Gifer. Please have a seat.” Mr. Kevin replied kindly and invited Gifer to sit down immediately. But Gifer still gave priority to Mr. Kevin, then he himself sat down. Since Mr. Kevin was the elder here, so, Gifer had to be more respectful to him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“How are you, Mr. Gifer? I heard that you had an eye surgery in America yesterday. Your secretary told me that when I tried to meet you at GF Corp. But why did you go straight home? You should have rested first, don’t mind me.” Mr. Kevin was both curious and concerned about Gifer. The middle-aged man actually felt sorry for Gifer if he went straight home after the eye surgery, let alone went straight to work.

“I’m doing well, Mr. Kevin. Yes, actually I had eye surgery 3 days ago, I think it’s enough to rest. Well, Mr. Kevin happened to come to my company, so I might as well go back to Indonesia. By the way, how is Mr. Kevin himself?” Gifer asked back.

“I’m fine too, Mr. Gifer. I’m glad you can see again. You must be happy that you can see again, right? You can see me who is getting older.” Mr. Kevin said with a smile.

“Haha… the older you get, the older you get, Mr. Kevin. I’m the same way. Yes, I’m grateful to finally have an eye donor, even if it’s not from Indonesia.”

“Why don’t you look for one in Indonesia?”

“Ah, that…” Gifer looked down, squeezed his fingers together and bit his lower lip for a while before telling Mr. Kevin the truth.

“There are always people who don’t like it when I can see again. When I got an eye donor, there were people who instigated the family of the donor to cancel the eye donor appointment with me. And it happened several times, not just once. Even famous hospitals around our country have been instigated.” Obviously Gifer smiled wryly when remembering that, while looking away briefly and looking back at Mr. Kevin.

“Is that so? That person is really evil. Who is the person who instigated the hospital and the donor’s family? Do you know?” Mr. Kevin asked curiously.

Gifer shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know who had instigated the hospital. Gifer only knew that the instigator was a woman wearing a hoodie and also covering her face with a mask.

“No, Mr. Kevin. I don’t know.”

“Ah yes, why all this talk? Actually, I came here because I wanted to know, what did Mr. Kevin want to say that he bothered to come to GF Corp to meet me yesterday?” Asked Gifer trying to change the subject. If talking about his fate at that time will never end, Gifer thought.

“Oh yeah, there’s really nothing serious about what I’m about to say, Mr. Gifer. I just wanted to ask you about whether you need help or not?”

“Mr. Kevin, what kind of help?”

“Is your company down or is it still fine until now? If it is down, don’t hesitate to ask me for help. I’ll help you until it can really stabilize again.”

“In terms of marketing, it is a little down, Mr. Kevin. But, I will try to fix it myself.”

“Is it because of lack of promotion? Should I hold a press conference to promote GF Corp’s products?” Asked Mr. Kevin.

“Ah no, no need, Mr. Kevin. I will always depend on you. It’s enough that you have helped me to get my job back until now. Even GF Corp itself used to be your company.”

“Well, that’s exactly it, Mr. Gifer. So, later we can work together to promote, especially since there will be guests from overseas as well. Don’t worry, the past incident won’t happen again, Mr. Gifer. I can guarantee that for you, we’ve known each other for a long time, right? I won’t repeat the same mistake.” Mr. Kevin tried to persuade Gifer. The sweet man sighed for a moment to think about what Mr. Kevin said. At this rate, Gifer would never be able to refuse this middle-aged man sitting in front of him.

“Hmm, alright. If it’s for the best, then I will do as you wish, Mr. Kevin.”

Mr. Kevin smiled happily, finally he could persuade Gifer. He also didn’t want the past problem to repeat itself because this time he already considered Gifer as his own son.
