The most insane thing Grace did was to accept the boss's request. Crazy, yes! But Grace couldn't resist as they stared at each other. In Grace's memory of the gaze of the Whale who was her boss, her eyes did convey a lot of hope. Maybe by asking him to meet Olivia, there would be some news.
Grace herself just found out that since last week, Olivia disappeared. Whether to the middle of nowhere or elsewhere, the boss himself completely lost the news. In the end, Grace came to the conclusion, "Maybe Sis Olivia isn't really ready, sir, to get married."
Theo's shoulders drooped weakly, Grace could see that clearly. "I'm old, Pin. If you wait for him to be ready, when? Even though he doesn't have to have a career, I can talk enough."
Grace is silent. What the boss said was true. But Grace herself, if she could find money for her own needs, would definitely do it. Not wanting to underestimate his partner later, no. For Grace, getting used to having personal money earned from her own sweat is different from asking her husband, for example. Maybe Olivia was like that. Yes, right?
"Would you like me to help you?"
The shoulder-length haired girl considered for a moment before finally nodding slowly. How could his heart bear to see his boss like that.
"Thank you, Pin. I can always count on you."
"But the bonus is added. I'm seriously aiming for something."
For a week of confusion and confusion, Grace's words that lead to this innocent and funny sound adorable. "Yes. I'll add it soon."
Grace's smile grew as wide as the JORR toll road. Very happy even though he felt this would not work one hundred percent. Grace was sure that Olivia was deliberately keeping her distance and avoiding her boss. I don't know why, Grace. I don't know. If rejection is used as an excuse, Olivia should be a little mature in responding, right?
Who knows.
What is clear this afternoon, Grace is sitting in the lobby of Olivia's apartment. Waiting. He said Olivia was coming down to meet him. Grace hopes that, whatever the discussion will be, at least it can improve the relationship between the boss and his girlfriend. He himself was confused, why should he? Familiar with Olivia only No. Just know the limit, then now? Go to him to say, “Sis Olivia, don't avoid Mr. Theo again, okay? You're sad."
Good grief!
For the sake of bonuses, Ra. For the sake of bonuses. That's all he said in his heart just to dispel the discomfort because he would launch those words at Olivia. Grace wasn't scared or anything, but those words and suggestions felt too private. And Grace seemed to be too deep in their relationship.
"Hi, Grace."
Grace gasped. The beautiful woman he had been waiting for was already in front of him. Still wearing soft pink pajamas but her appearance has stayed tune on make up. Sis Olivia is really beautiful, really. I lost.
"Grace is annoying, huh?"
Olivia chuckled. "Not really. Come on."
Grace imitated Olivia's steps towards the cafe shop across from the lobby. It didn't take long for them to sit across from each other while waiting for their orders to arrive.
“You came here to meet me. It couldn't be on a whim, right?” Olivia took a sip of her coffee. In front of him sat the little girl of his ex-lover's assistant.
"Right. I do have business with Sis Olivia."
"Question?"
Theo once said to Olivia, even though the body of a Grace is small, her courage is commendable. The girl was completely unaffected by bullying. His flying hours followed many meetings as well as the pressure of many questions from here and there, perhaps forging him. As it is now. Olivia didn't let down her disapproving aura at the assistant's presence.
Instead of frowning in fear, Grace defied her eyes. This made Olivia quite curious about the figure of the girl in front of her. Even though they only met briefly at Theo's office, Olivia was sure that Grace wasn't just a random woman.
"I'm not good at small talk, really, Sis." Grace swallowed slowly. He was trying his best to keep his expression down even though he was really nervous. "Mr. Theo wants to know why Sis Olivia avoided him."
Olivia chuckled softly. "Why don't you come alone?"
Now Grace's smile was hidden, “If Sis Olivia didn't block access, surely you would have come here. Is not it? After all, why should you avoid if you don't have anything wrong? Is it because of Olivia's refusal that you avoid doing this?"
"You ask a lot of questions, don't you?"
Grace took another sip of her warm milk. Moisten the throat with a sweet liquid to get back to talking. "Maybe because I work under a Mr. Theo and know that he is a good person."
"Because he's such a good person I shouldn't be worthy of rejecting him? So?"
"It's not like that, sis. Reject or accept it is Sis Olivia's business, not my authority. The one with feelings, right, Sis Olivia."
Olivia frowned. "So?"
“Just don't avoid Mr. Theo. Just that."
"Is this Theo's request or yours?"
Grace was still smiling. "If I say this is my request, will Sis Olivia grant it?"
Violet choked. "You're crazy, sis!" Hastily the beautiful girl wearing a navy hijab drank her sweet iced tea. "What are you trying for?"
Grace shrugged. "I'm confused myself. It's said to be a bonus offer, yes. But I can't bear to see Mr. Theo sad, yes."
"You like our boss?"
The blonde haired girl rolled her eyes in exasperation. "No!"
"But really care?" Violet still couldn't believe the bag of stories she had just heard this afternoon. finally they can date at the mall. Starting with dinner before tonight first, then shopping. They agreed to this after the absence from office was over.
Grace is free from overtime. His work was immediately brushed off as soon as he arrived at the office after lunch earlier. Today, he stopped by Olivia's apartment. Carrying out his boss's duties was simply making sure the boss's lover, was there, and saying never run away from a Theo again.
At first, he was giddy. Really, this is no longer Grace's realm. But that sad gaze always haunts even carried over to dreamland. Annoying indeed! Why doesn't the boss have the courage to meet his girlfriend, anyway?
"If it wasn't for him being nice even though he was annoying, I'd be lazy too."
Violet agreed with Grace's words. As annoying as Theo was, he was a kind boss. Theo never used a high-pitched tone or anger when his men made a mistake. Even when he made a mistake, it was not uncommon for Theo to admit his mistake in public. Always cooperative can also balance all his men. Typical boss who is loved by his subordinates.
So it's not surprising that both Grace and Violet feel comfortable working here for a long time. They thought, not necessarily elsewhere will find a boss like Theo. Even if the boss is talkative.
"So, how's Olivia's response?"
Grace shrugged again. "He didn't say anything. Well... hopefully they'll come back, anyway. I think the boss really loves Olivia."
"You don't think Olivia is just taking advantage of the boss?"
"His business, anyway. What's important for me is that the boss doesn't look at me with that miserable look. I can't stand the person. Oath."
Violet laughed. "Careful. From pity to callous.”
Grace threw a toothpick at her coworker. "That's fine. I might be cranky if I'm his girlfriend."
