Grace is often in the same car with Theo but in a state they will go to a meeting. Not intentionally brought home like this. More often he uses taxi vouchers which he always gets when overtime arrives. This time, the voucher was already on his desk and the boss who was waiting for him was ready.

"It's been a long time," Theo complained. He pressed the elevator in the corner. Even though his office is only five floors high, he purposely set up the elevator because he was tired and he was short of breath when he had to walk up and down stairs.

Glancing at the little assistant just sneered. Maybe annoyed by his words earlier. Maybe all women are like that, it's always a long wait. There's just something left, this is it. There was one positive that Grace had but Theo was reluctant to share. His diligence in work always amazed him secretly.

For the rest, they are silent. Theo himself didn't like to talk much, Grace was already quite tired. The worksheet above revolves around the travel questionnaire for the Harapan Bangsa gathering tour that Grace made. It only works on a small scale. For even bigger things, the big boss will complete it.

Even when Theo's driver opened the door. The man who seemed to rush into his car was still silent. The assistant went up and immediately put on the seat belt. "Mr. Deny, take the Dolphin home first and then to my apartment."

"Yes, sir." Deny smiled as he watched the little girl his boss' assistant. Unfortunately, the action of her lips was caught off guard by Grace.

"Something funny, Mr. Deny?"

"Ah, nothing, Ma'am."

Grace can't just believe it. "Mr. Deny, if he's lying, he has two nostrils, you know.'

Suddenly, Grace's words made Deny burst out laughing. "Miss Grace can do it."

"Because Mr. Deny I don't usually smile when I get into the car. There must be something. I'll admit it."

Deny started the car engine and started to drive. When glanced in the rearview mirror, the assistant boss still wore an expression of disapproval. "Okay. It's just that you are invited to go home with your father. Maybe to cheer up your gloomy father. Yes, Sir?"

Grace gaped while Theo stared Disbelievingly at Deny.

"Am I a clown who can entertain!" said Grace half shrieking. Yes maybe! When Grace glanced at the boss, damn it, the Whale closed his eyes. As if not wanting to get involved in their ridiculous conversation.

Though not so. Theo felt bad when it was said that he needed Grace just to be with him. Grace was cheerful, Never as long as she hit the twenty-seven-year-old girl so sad. Also Never heard a cross of complaints about his age, which can be said, has a partner whose direction is serious. Grace is different.

She resembles the given name, Jovanka KeGrace. Bright, bright, rarely gray, also always excited. Theo feels lucky to be working with a Grace. At the very least, his ordinary life, even though it is full of wealth, has a little color. Even though Grace often made her laugh because she asked a lot of questions, really.

A week ago, he was rejected when he expressed his seriousness about the relationship he had fostered. Theo loved Olivia with all his heart. No one can resist the charm of an Olivia. Even Theo. They have been dating for two years, as young people call it. Theo's intention was only to have a short acquaintance with the blonde girl. Perhaps because of the age gap between them, Theo loosened his ties.

Olivia still wants a career as a photomodel. Theo didn't forbid it because it was part of Olivia's profession. As long as it's positive, as a good partner he supports it. Including supporting Olivia in terms of material. No matter how often his father warned him, that beautiful woman was like Insincerely in love with Theo. He does not count how much money has been poured for the lover, in the name of love.

Last week, it was a unanimous decision for him to propose to Olivia because his family didn't want to be labeled as a long-term relationship. He is an only child. Heir is the only travel business he is currently managing. It has many branches, spread throughout Indonesia, with the largest branch in London. Before falling absolutely into the hands of Theo, his father, Andrew Putra Whale still managed everything. With the help of the only son of course.

Andrew Putra has been named a successful businessman several times and when Theo started working in the same world as his father, carrying the same name, Theo began to be known in the jetset circles. But the bespectacled man was reluctant to get too deep into the world of the jetset. The reason is one, busy work, printing a lot of tickets.

Since he was born rich, his parents' house is in an elite area, graduated from a prestigious university in London, has parents who always support him, has a girlfriend as beautiful as Olivia, what else is lacking in Theo? There is no. Instead he was overloaded, his body weight was enough to make him look fat. But for him, it's no problem. as long as her parents still love her, love her with all their heart, even Olivia who is always by her side, that's more than enough.

However, bad luck greeted Theo.

He never thought he would receive a rejection. Even though he had already planned what his wedding to Olivia would be like. It's just a matter of pointing out a lot of references to the girl. Theo was sure, Olivia would not refuse his proposal. After all, the girl had been to his house several times. Met his parents. Familiar with the mother. But that's not a guarantee that his heart will be accepted.

"Sir," Grace called suddenly. Along this way, no one spoke anymore. They or rather Grace and Deny enjoyed this fairly quiet London street. What about Theo? Out of the corner of Grace's eye it could be seen, the boss was lost in thought. I don't know what he was thinking. "Are you daydreaming?" asked Grace at last. His curiosity was so great. He could no longer dam it.

Theo just snorted softly. "No."

"That's okay too, sir. Just don't daydream dirty," Grace said with a chuckle. Hope the boss's attention is distracted. But in vain. Again Theo fell silent. His eyes were looking straight ahead.

Grace took a deep breath. Alright. The important thing this time, he came home safely. He only hoped that tomorrow there would be no more sudden overtime. Grace can't wait to visit her coveted shoe shop. He must have. Violet said in the chat this afternoon, in two days the discount ended. Grace swears Not to be missed for this discount. Too dear to pass up for him.

"Why was I rejected?" asked Theo quietly.

"Yes?" Grace was confused. Was the question directed at him? But he wasn't the one the boss proposed to? So? Boss, do you want to talk to Grace like that?

Theo stammered. The question that had always reigned in his head even flew perfectly and made the little assistant stare at him with a confused look. "Ah no. I didn't say anything."

Grace put a smile on her thin lips. Her lipstick had faded since she decided to eat some bread and a glass of milo milk. There is no intention to return to retouch the make up on her face. "I don't know why you were rejected. Why didn't you contact Olivia again?"

Theo turned to Grace. He chuckled softly. If only it were that easy. Since Olivia was brought home by him, all contact access from Theo was blocked. Theo himself confused, what's wrong? Was it because he proposed to Olivia? While he is still not ready to commit more than just dating? But why?

It was the only thing that kept echoing in his head asking for an answer.

"If you feel you still can't accept it, that's perfectly natural." Like a counselor of the heart, Grace said so convincingly. "But if you ask why it was rejected, I don't have an answer. Maybe actually you are the one who knows the most, why should you be rejected?”

Theo snorted. "If I personally knew why it was rejected, I wouldn't bother thinking about this."

"Have you asked directly?"

Miraculously, the boss nodded.

"The answer?"

"He still wants a career."

Grace wanted to laugh but was held back. It's not that she doesn't know who Olivia is. The following model is a celebrity whose name is quite famous because in addition to being beautiful, Olivia also has a lot of fans. At first he wanted to show how lucky Theo was to have Olivia as a lover.

However, as time went on, Grace finally understood what kind of woman she was with her boss. Beautiful indeed but the impression of Insincerity and disdain is too obvious on her face. Grace didn't like her boss's boyfriend, as she rebuked Violet without preamble. Even if it's a trivial matter. Violet got reprimanded by a Theo. Not loud, just to the extent of, “Be careful when you speak, Rah. Don't do that."

Still to both of them, it felt unfair. Obviously the one to blame is Olivia. To this day, they both agree that Olivia is the incarnation of an evil snake.

That's why Grace is skeptical about Olivia's career. Does the boss not understand too, yes, if Olivia is being used more than receiving her love? Grace thinks No. Theo seemed to have been blinded by Olivia's love and charm. The evidence, rejected for reasons like that alone, is chaotic to this day.

"Well... that's probably true, sir."

“I understand that Olivia is a lot of work. Maybe getting married would be a terrible option. But for me, all of this can still be discussed. Yes, right, Pin?"

Grace nodded in agreement.

"The problem is, Olivia is adamant that she doesn't want to take the relationship to a serious level unless it's dating." Theo now ventured to look at his interlocutor. He needs listeners. His confusion was too basic. Talking to Felix who is against Olivia will only make his mind more confused. The choice is Grace's. The little girl seems to be neutral to this day towards her lover. "I'm too old to continue dating. Meanwhile I just want to spend old time with Olivia."

Grace Don't know how to respond. How dear is the boss to Olivia? "Did you meet again, Sis Olivia?" Grace asked carefully at last.

Theo shook his head slowly. “All my contacts are blocked.”

Is there nothing more miserable than Theo's story? Grace really felt sorry for her. "Go to the apartment."

"If you come, how? Olivia doesn't like it when I suddenly appear in front of her unit without telling her."

"Why me?" Grace was clearly shocked. The sympathy that he had shown earlier, was gone. Nothing was left.

“You are the one I can trust and know Olivia too.”

Grace Takes no chances.

"I added a bonus. You're after something, right?"

Hah?
