Stefan listened and was thinking along with what James just said.
"But she doesn"t love me. She isn"t jealous of me at all. If she has any feelings she should be jealous. She also said that I could have another woman! What a cold-hearted she is!"
Stefan said with frustration, thinking about what she told him this afternoon, that she allowed him to take another woman!
"A woman likes a man to treat her nicely and speak to her politely with a bit of respect."
Ben gave out his opinion.
"I am who I am. If she can"t accept the way I am, then there is nothing to talk about! I cannot pretend to be a person I am not!"
The irritated voice spoke.
"You don"t have to pretend, but just act from your heart. Even though I haven"t had any experience in this love field but I"ve heard that if you truly love someone, you will treat her with kind and tender heart and for a woman who is the love of your life, you would give her both love and respect."
James added. Ben looked at his friend with astonished eyes. Wow! He did not think watching a lot of romantic movies would give his friend a lot of good brain cells like this!
"This one, I totally agree. Miss Wirata is an easy-going and easy to treat. She doesn"t require much in fact, she didn"t even ask for anything. But if you love her. You should know what to do, boss. Don"t shout at her for example."
Ben gave the long speech this time as he saw the boss was listening and would not get up to kick him any time soon as his head was busy thinking about his Missy.
"When did I shout at her?! Recently, it was her, who likes shouting at me and making me brew my own coffee and for her as well!"
The boss scolded back after listening to Ben"s statement. Ben and James glanced at one another.
So now the boss accepted that he loved and crazy about his Missy!
"Why don"t you just tell her your true feelings towards her, boss? That would be the best way."
James suggested. Now it was so clear that Stefan Mackenzie had fallen head over heels in love with his lady.
Stefan was silent when he heard James"s advice.
"I have said a lot of things to her. Things that aren"t very good."
He muttered. Stefan remembered what he used to say to her face and he could not take it back.
"Well, that time you didn"t know she would be the love of your life. So, however, you can"t go back to fix the past but you can start the new."
James came up with another good speech. Making Ben exclaimed WOW in his mind for the second time.
"I can"t do that. Didn"t you hear what I just said? She doesn"t love me and she is counting down the days when she can leave me! Do you understand?"
The solemn voice said and sighed heavily. Ben and James looked at each other and sighed too.
"If you don"t want to lose her. You must find a way to keep her, boss."
said Ben.
"How can I stop a woman who wants to leave me in every breath she takes. She isn"t happy to be with me. Don"t you see that she sighs with boredom? She is unhappy living with me. So how can I..."
Stefan stopped when he realized that he said too much.
"It may not be what you think. I see she smiles a lot of times. "
James consoled the boss, who looked sad in his eyes.
"Yeah! Smiling when she doesn"t see me around."
The boss made a sarcastic voice and a frowned face.
"If I were you, I would make her see my tender side. And I would tell her that I love her."
Ben spoke. This was the solution. Ben was sure.
"Are you crazy, Ben? She just told me nine months to get her freedom back and she would travel around the world, obviously to celebrate it! I am not stupid to say the thing that she will throw it back on my face with no care!"
"you fear of losing your big form and afraid that she would humiliate you. I think that is the real reason you don"t want to say out to her. Am I right, boss?"
James bravely said after a.n.a.lyzing the boss"s symptoms.
"It isn"t that! n.o.body understands me. Even you two! I know that you don"t have a clue because you two never have loved a woman. I believe I consulted the wrong people. "
The boss said and got up. Ben and James gasped but shut their mouths up eventually. Sometimes you could not help a stubborn person who was willing to break but not willing to bend a little.
"Don"t forget to remind me about Bernardo. I haven"t finished a business proposal with him yet. and it"s an important one. "
The harsh voice said. He lifted Summer up and put the puppy on his shoulder.
"Are you sleepy, little Summer? Better to go to bed, huh? I know you are missing your mommy. "
The gentle voice talked to the puppy. Not sure the puppy or his daddy who missed mommy.
The tall figure strode out of the guest house leaving Ben and James sitting and watching with their heads were spinning and asking questions more than one question the boss had thrown at them.
"What should we do, Ben? I feel sorry for the boss. He is worried about losing his big form and pride but what about losing his future wife? Or he has to lose her first to realize his big mistake."
James consulted Ben. They were still watching the boss walking back to the house.
"Only three months. But he is falling hard and rapidly. He"s in a coma and no chance of recovering. I"m don"t know what the boss and his Missy put in their contract. But as we know him well, if he gives his promise he will keep it. He won"t swallow back his saliva."
Ben said and made a head-pain expression.
"And Miss Wirata is a smart woman. She has got good memories. She won"t forget about the boss"s slipped words he said to her. That"s the trouble when you fall for a clever woman."
James mumbled.
"You remember this, James. If you want a future wife, just find one who is not mentally r.e.t.a.r.ded. Yeah, s.e.xy body is a must! But moderate brain. So you should learn from this lesson, James, that do not have a too clever one. the average brain will be good enough. So you won"t get a headache."
Ben summarized the lesson of the evening to James.
"I like a smart woman. The one who has got a big brain, very intelligent, tough, has a firm mind, not too sensitive to words. Just like Miss Wirata. Do you think a man like the boss would fall this hard if she isn"t smart and great just the way she is? But the problem is... it"s so d.a.m.n hard to find both beauty and bain in one woman. A lot of time, G.o.d just too stingy and he only gives one blessing for each one of them."
James said. The two friends were still discussing and finding ways to help their boss.
