Stefan lied down on the bed looking at the ceiling and thinking about the woman who was cooking for him in the kitchen. When she acted as she cared about him, she was cute and he kind of like this side of her a lot.
He looked back at four years ago when he accidentally kissed her ... He didn't want to believe that the young girl would become his woman today. It was unbelievable. She really was not like any woman he had met.
Stefan tried to find words to describe her. He thought she was not an easy person for him to live with because her background and his was so different. But she was special... very very special. Stefan lifted his lips into a big smile as having her picture following his orders in his mind, in the end, he was the boss to everyone including her. He widened his smile even more in satisfaction of his thoughts.
Half an hour had passed, the man who pretended to be ill, staring at the door thinking when his nurse was gonna come back. Stefan looked at the clock he couldn't believe that the time had just passed only thirty minutes! ... Why he felt it was a lifetime ago since she left the room.
The man who had never slept during day time started to toss and turn and in the end he got bored of waiting. So he decided to get up, put a T-shirt and a pair of shorts on then sneaked out of the bedroom. He wanted to see if his bodyguards got any news about people who messed with him.
"How is the boss right now?"
Ben was sitting on the sofa in the office room with a laptop on the low table in front of him. James sat at the other end of it. Summer was sitting nibbling the bone on the carpet.
"Do you mean his pain?"
James questioned back to make sure which aspects his friend wanted to talk about their boss.
"Yeah."
"Well, the pain isn't much but the acting's overboard. I guess the boss wants to draw his lady's attention. What do you think? "
"I agree. And he wants a lot of it." James answered briefly. The two were laughing at the same time.
"I've never seen him like this before. As you know how tense and serious the boss usually is but with her, he behaves differently. He has a soft spot for her definitely. It might be time. " Ben gave a long opinion.
"Time for what?" James asked his friend.
"It's the time that God is merciful to the boss by sending someone to control his behaviour. Don't you think our boss has gone crazier than usual? I mean the way he thinks that he just go fighting with no care if he's gonna be killed or not. He takes too many risks and if he keeps doing this I think he might go to heaven before his timeline. " Ben said with worried tone.
"But I guess the heaven doesn't want him yet as he is so wild to control. That's why God sent Miss Wirata to tame and teach him to behave better, to be a good person." James gave his thoughts out.
"Wow. You start to get smart now, James. Keep it up, mate."
Ben slapped James' shoulder. James sent him a daggered glare.
"I am the smart one here, idiot!"
James cursed his friend. Ben gave him a smirk and opened his mouth to continue to criticize the boss.
"From now on I don't think he's gonna have eyes for other women. She is the one and only for him if you look at his behaviours towards her."
"Yeah, he is like a teenager who is falling hard. So far, the rash must attack him already by doing the strange thing he has never done before, something like sleeping in broad daylight like this."
The two minions knew that the boss didn't sleep during the day.
"But don't let Miss Wirata catch his lies though. Because if she realizes that he's fooling around with her I assure you that he will be dead! She'll slash his throat surely."
The voices of the bodyguards gossiping and having fun laughing together by not knowing that the boss was hiding behind the door and listening to them with his fierce look.
Stefan jumped a little when thought if she caught him lying. She might kill him as these two idiots predicted. That thought made him absently touch his throat and pulled his face as though he just swallowed bitter medicine.
"Tonight he will have to lie down on the bed as still as a vegetable, bad injured can't do anything, won't he?"
James said while the boss was listening and thinking along with his words.
"Lying still, can't do out? Holy crab!"
Stefan murmured to himself. He didn't plan to stay still tonight because he wanted to have hot steamy sex with her. To be honest, he couldn't even want to wait until tonight. So what to do now?! He definitely didn't want to sleep as a vegetable for sure!
So he had to get better then but she might be suspicious of how quickly he recovered ...?
Stefan raised his hand to scratch his head. Began to understand the truth about ... telling lies ... why the karma caught him up so fast like this. He only imagined if she knew he was lying and fooling her, she would get angry for sure. Stefan felt unhappy and uncomfortable just thinking about that. And when this woman got mad, she could definitely be killer!
"Miss Wirata is a very smart woman. If she knows that the boss plays the dramatic scene, which even me wanting to give him the Oscar prize, she surely will give him some more wounds." James continued.
Stefan listened and cursed under his breath. These two shitty bodyguards didn't help him to feel better at all. The idiots were talking and laughing at him who was their big boss just for fun.
"So fucking useless!"
Stefan scolded at his followers behind the door.
"But I think she has gone soft a little for him now. She does care for him, don't you think? She is concerned about his well-beings even she tried to hide her feelings but I can still see it. "
Ben shared his thoughts more, making the boss smile broadly this time.
Very good, Ben. That's more like it! Stefan was pleased with Ben's opinion.
"Maybe she sees our boss loves Summer, too? She must start to learn the truth that in fact, our boss is kind-hearted man. He only behave wildly occasionally, and even he's got a sharp tongue which he was born with but he doesn't mean what he says." James said.
Stefan kept listening, his face stopped smiling and moody, his mood was changing alternately following the comments of the two troublemakers.
Damn you!
Stefan wanted to give his men some kickass for their bad mouth about him.
But ... Summer? ... Yes! Summer! Stefan smiled broadly again when the brain figured out a way to survive.
"You two idiots. Aren't you have the job to do? Talking about me behind my back seems to be your main job these days!!"
The gruff voice scolded and the the tall figure walked into the room. Ben and James jerked and sent their sheepish smile to the boss. The boss grabbed the puppy up and touch his nose to the puppy's nose in their greeting style.
"What is the latest news?" Stefan wanted to know who had messed with him so he could give them some special treat back!
"It's Bruno, boss. Don just called and said that Bruno was behind it."
Bruno was the owner of a casino in this town, Bernardo's rival casino! ...
The enemy of Bernardo himself? What was the purpose of this bastard? Why did he dare to pull him into the shit game? Stefan lifted a corner of his mouth. His eyes were dark.
"Tell our people to go find out more about what shit Bruno is up to. You know what to do next."
Stefan said to his men, his face was dark with hidden agenda. Ben and James bowed to the order. They were no longer joking about when hearing this kind of deadly serious tone of the boss.
