Wirata put a cup of coffee in front of the boss.
"Here"s your coffee. What else do you want me to do for you?"
Wirata asked and placed the coffee on the kitchen counter in front of him. Not sure what he wanted.
"I said that I would take the girl to bed. What would you say?"
The original question, but because he didn"t like the answer so he asked again.
Wirata crossed her arms. She stared at the handsome face. He lifted the coffee cup and sipped it. His eyes stared back at her, waiting for the answer.
"Why do you ask me? Since when I"m important to you, so you want to hear my opinion like this? "
Wirata asked plainly. Stefan stopped his hand, holding the coffee cup in the air. His brain immediately reviewed her question.
Saw her important? And since when ...?
Oh, no. It"s not like that ... He didn"t see her important or anything. But just asking because he wanted to know. That"s all!
It was because Stefan Mackenzie usually could read people"s mind but he couldn"t read hers, she was good at hiding her thoughts and he didn"t like it when he didn"t know what the opposite side was thinking!
"I see that we live in the same house. You said you want me to play a good housemate, didn"t you?"
He used the words she said before to answer back. Wirata sighed.
"If you want me to be honest. I would just say... you should wait for the contract to end first. Then you can find someone else to replace me. "
She said her thoughts out loud, seeing his frowned face loosen up a little.
"You don"t want me to sleep with other women. Is it right? "
Stefan asked a more specific question. He wanted a clear answer a little more than this.
"Yes ... Do you know that something can"t be shared? If you are smart enough to understand what I am saying."
"Of course, I am too smart, but can"t you just give me a better statement as a smart woman?"
He looked at her with his narrowed gaze.
Wirata shrugged. This man was getting on her nerve, really really badly! But she wasn"t going to say that out loud to ruin her day.
"Can you bear with having only one woman for one year? "
Wirata asked. In fact, she and he hadn"t signed a contract yet. She should finish it as soon as possible.
"Just say it that you want to keep me just for yourself, right?"
He asked instead of answering her question. Because he wanted to hear a specific clarity a little more, and Stefan didn"t know why.
"Hm, maybe"
Wirata accepted. She didn"t want him to be promiscuous while having her. So for the safety of her health and peace of mind, he should be having only one woman at a time.
"Why MAYBE? why not just accept and say YES that you want to keep me just for yourself."
Stefan spoke out loud, still didn"t get the answer that he wanted to hear. The answers that he was satisfied with.
"Er, Miss. Please say that you want him to quit being promiscuous. You want him to have only you. You want to keep him by your side. You don"t want him to have other women forever and ever. "
Ben"s voice gave a loud suggestion from the living room. Because he looked at the time and saw that it was late. And the boss still didn"t get a satisfactory answer. If Stefan didn"t get what he wanted, he wouldn"t move on.
The two bodyguards prepared to close their ears, thinking that the boss would shout back at them and gave them his cursing words. But to their surprise, there was not such the expected statement. The boss didn"t shout back!
Stefan stared at Wirata as if he was asking her ...Was it right, for what Ben said?
Wirata sighed again. She thought that if she didn"t answer, he wouldn"t do anything, would just stand here and staring at her with his arm crossed like this. So she nodded a little. Then prepared to walk out of the kitchen. But he hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her to him, wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I will not sleep with anyone if it is what you want."
He said with a smirk as if he won the game. Wirata saw the satisfaction in his sharp blue eyes. He always gave a conclusion to please himself. But anyway, she would let him think whatever suited him and he wanted to tell himself. This was only the third day!
"Today I will take you to your mother. Take Summer out for a walk as well. "
The boss said with an enthusiastic voice. His mood was better now. Wirata looked up at the tall man. She had to try more to get to know him better so that she could define his personality. His mood easily changed, up and down just like the weather graphs plus the stock market graphs.
"I would like to go to the Asian supermarket, too, want to buy something for cooking. " Wirata went along with him. She was satisfied quietly that in the end, she won about the topic of going to visit her mother which was the original statement and he just giving her a headache before giving her the proper answer.
"Tonight you don"t have to cook. I will take you to have dinner at a restaurant. "
Stefan said. That was what he wanted to do tonight.
"Why go? I can cook at home. It"s fun and saves money. I have a lot of time doing that. "
Wirata said. She had to try to make her schedule full and made sure that she always had things to do so that she was occupied and didn"t get bored. She was not going to waste time by doing nothing else apart from serving him in bed. That would make her feel ashamed of herself for behaving like a high escort woman.
Stefan began to learn that she was an economical person and knew how to use money. Not like other women who liked him to take them to eat in an expensive restaurant.
"Okay, make Pad Thai with king prawns for me then. I like this menu from your mother"s restaurant. And I will help you to chop tomatoes!"
He said and offered help. Wirata hid a smile, feeling amused to see his up-and-down mood. She does not understand how the two bodyguards could stand and endure their boss. Wirata really wanted to bow to Ben and James. They really had excellent patience!
"We don"t put tomatoes in Pat Thai. But you can help me by cutting onions."
Wirata said with a straight face. The boss immediately pulled his face in unpleased expression. Wirata tried to hide her amused smile which was very hard. Now she knew how to handle the bossy boss.
"Don"t put onion then, put tomatoes instead." He tried to change her recipe!
"Oh, no. That isn"t my mother"s recipe and it won"t be called PAD THAI."
"But onions make my eyes sore." The boss said with a sullen face. He was behaving like an unruly and difficult boy again.
"I"ll teach you the trick. But we should go now if you want to fit everything in your schedule for today. It"s getting late."
Wirata said because Ben was standing at the door but the boss didn"t see as he turned his back to the door. Ben pointed at his watch to give Wirata a signal.
"Alright. Give me a kiss then we can go." He ordered out like a boss. Wirata glared at him which made him recall that she didn"t like him to order her to kiss him.
"Please." The boss added another word. Wirata went blushed when seeing Ben smiling and walked away from the door. She gave him a peck on his cheek. And it"s his turn to glare at her this time.
Wirata sighed and put her mouth on his lips. He put his hand on her neck making her tilt her face up and then he gave her the proper kiss with tongue and trick until he felt her body soften then he was satisfied to be the winner of the morning. He parted his lips, looking at her pretty face.
"Let"s go." The male powerful voice said, putting his arm around her waist and walk out of the kitchen.
In the living room, Ben and James were standing tall and ready for the day. Summer was playing with his toy nearby.
"We"re going to John"s house first. Give him a ring to make sure he will be there. James, you put Summer"s leash on. I"ll take him out with us."
The boss ordered. He put his sungla.s.ses on and look cool as a cuc.u.mber. James did what the boss said. Attached the leash to the puppy"s neck then gave it to the boss.
"Are you ready to go out now, Summer?" He bent to ask the little guy.
"Arf!" Summer made the firm noise which made everybody smile with his reaction.
"Good boy. Let"s go."
The boss said. His one hand holding the puppy"s leash and the other hand was sending to Wirata. She thought for a minute but when saw his glare, she decided to put her hand on his big palm.
Stefan lifted his lips. Definitely the winner of the morning. He praised himself, it"s good to start the day.
Ben and James glanced at each other. The picture of the boss holding hands with his lady and the other hand was pulling the puppy. It was a very new image, unfamiliar to their eyes but lovely to see for a change. They smiled quietly.
"What"s a matter?" But the boss didn"t miss to see their action!
"Er, nothing, boss."
James said. Then they entered the private elevator to the ground floor where all the boss"s cars were parked.
Wirata didn"t look at the tall figure who standing next to her. He put his arm around her waist still. She looked down at Summer. He was standing with his tail waggling in a happy gesture to go out. Wirata couldn"t help to smile at him. The puppy was getting spoiled badly!
Stefan turned to look at the woman beside him. Saw her pretty face smiling at the puppy. He turned his face to the other way and lifted a corner of his mouth up. But then out of nowhere, the image of chopping onions came into his head without him inviting. It made him stop smiling immediately.
"I change my mind. I don"t want Pad Thai. Let"s make king prawn fried rice instead, and I"ll help you to chop tomatoes!"
Ben and James hurried to look down, bit their tongue and shut their mouth tightly before they would accidentally let their laugh out loud!
