Chapter 17 - WITH JEAN

"Is your job done?" Jean asked over to Nadia who was washing her hands.

"If I haven't finished my work, should I wash my hands Mr. Jean?" said Nadia with a smile.

"All right Miss Nadia, I hope you get ready. I'm waiting for you in the car." said Jean while receiving a phone call while walking towards his car.

Nadia shook her head at Jean's charming attitude.

After cleaning her hands and face, Nadia went into the greenhouse to comb her messy hair. Also a little bit of make-up on her face with just powder and invisible lipstick.

"I think ... I don't need to dress, it feels weird on my face." said Nadia with a wry smile feeling that she was a woman who could not look beautiful like Gladys.

"Ahhh!! never mind what people say I'm already happy with myself like this." said Nadia standing up from her seat and taking her small bag to immediately catch up with Jean who was waiting for her in the car.

With confidence and a beautiful smile, Nadia walked over to Jean's car.

The car door opened, Jean opened it from the car.

"Come in Nad, this afternoon I will please your heart so that you will not be able to sleep all night." said Jean with a smile.

"Oh, yes? I can't wait for your surprise." said Nadia as she fastened her seat belt.

"Is your seat belt properly attached?" Jean asked looking at Nadia's seat belt.

"It's installed properly Mr. Jean, please run the car." said Nadia in a seductive voice.

Jean smiled there was something he felt when Nadia smiled softly at him.

Still with a smile, Jean drove the car out of the yard and drove slowly to the restaurant he wanted.

Nadia enjoyed her trip by listening to the music that Jean turned on.

"Do you like the songs I chose Nad?" asked Jean to enjoy the song.

"I like any song. The most important thing is not a loud song, I don't really like it." said Nadia honestly.

"Because your soul is romantic, you like a calm atmosphere right?" asked Jean, very familiar with what Nadia likes and does not.

"Hem, you too, right? sometime we go to the jungle again Jean. I have long missed the atmosphere of the forest." said Nadia with a look full of hope.

"I will definitely ask you if I have time." said Jean while looking at the restaurant he had chosen which was quite busy.

Nadia's two eyes were slightly glaring, her face looked dumbfounded when Jean entered a very luxurious Korean Restaurant.

"Aren't we wrong Jean? are we going to eat here? at a Korean fancy restaurant?" asked Nadia, who really likes Korean specialties.

"Hem ... you like Korean food, right? someday if I get a big fortune I'll take you to eat in Korea." said Jean with a smile.

"Ahhh !! Really Jean? you really are my handsome and kind friend." said Nadia until she unconsciously kissed Jean on the cheek.

For a moment Jean was silent after getting a sudden shock from Nadia, again Jean felt something in his heart with what Nadia did to him.

"Eng ... Sorry Jean, I'm too excited." said Nadia with a flushed face.

"It's okay, take it easy." said Jean, feeling awry because his heart began to beat wildly.

"Jean, why is our car spinning all the time? Don't we get a parking space?" asked Nadia with a frown.

"We'll find parking close to the entrance." said Jean a little nervously with Nadia's question which surprised him.

"Oh..." said Nadia, unable to say anything other than agreeing with Jean's words.

After circling for a moment, Jean got a spot right beside the entrance.

With a deep sigh, Jean stopped the car.

"Let's get off Nad." said Jean, turning off the engine of the car then getting out of the car, followed by Nadia, getting out of the car and fixing her slightly wrinkled shirt.

"I feel tense Jean, this place is specially for rich people? Isn't it expensive later Jean?" asked Nadia with honesty and innocence.

"Don't tense up Nad, there's me with you." said Jean as he reached out his hand for Nadia to hold his hand.

Without hesitation, Nadia welcomed Jean's helping hand.

In Jean's grasp, Nadia felt a little calm and confident and didn't care about the eyes that looked at her with a strange look.

"Jean, look at me? is there something strange on my face?" asked Nadia seriously.

Jean watched Nadia's face closely.

"Nothing strange on your face, or did they see you for being with me? You know that I'm handsome?" said Jean, squinting his eyes intending to tease the innocent Nadia.

Hearing Jean's words, Nadia frowned while looking at herself.

"It's true what you said Jean, maybe that's why they looked at me strangely. They think why is a handsome boy like you asking me with an appearance like this?" said Nadia with a smile, feeling herself and Jean like the sky and the moon.

"Enough Nad, don't think about what you see. Now just look at me." Jean said bringing Nadia to a special room that she had rented so that Nadia was free to order and eat anything.

"Why did we get in here Jean? not sitting outside with them?" asked Nadia, increasingly confused. Indeed, even though she is a smart woman, she rarely goes anywhere, especially going to luxurious places.

"Come on in. Nad, this room is especially for the two of us. So you can freely talk and order whatever food you like, regardless of how people look or what they say." said Jean intending to make Nadia happy, who had helped him.

Nadia's heart was touched, how could it not be touched? Jean is a simple man even though he is not poor, but Jean's family also cannot be said to be rich like the Daren family, the richest person in her city.

"Jean, why are you doing this? why do you spend your money just to please my heart?" said Nadia with a sad face sitting on the sofa.

"Nadia, what I'm doing is still nothing with your help to me. I owe you a great debt of gratitude, Nad." said Jean sitting beside Nadia.

"So you still think that you owe me what I did to you?" said Nadia with a serious face.

"It's not like that Nadia, I just said it wrong. I thought without you I would definitely see sadness in my father's eyes. That's why I really want to make you happy too. Because you are my parents are very happy." said Jean closer as he stared into Nadia's face.

"That's all right? You have no intention of returning the favor to me?" asked Nadia still with a serious face.

"That's right Nadia, have I lied to you?" asked Jean in a low voice.
