"You can treat them as much as you like later. However, you are already neat now and ready to work." Jacob appears suddenly behind her.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I just can't stand to touch them." Angela closes her mouth and put the scissor in its place.
"Please come in, time to have breakfast, and then we will go to my friend's office." Jacob walks first and Angela follows behind him.
"I'm going to a kitchen first to wash my hand." Angela goes into the kitchen that is beside the dining table. Jacob nods slightly.
Soon after Angela is in the kitchen, suddenly heard a loud voice from outside. Samantha came without any notice. Jacob froze while sitting.
"What are you doing here in the early morning?" Jacob feels nervous. He won't possibly tell her that Angela is here, staying one night with him even in a different room.
"Of course to have breakfast with you, babe. What else?" Samantha hugs and kisses Jacob deeply.
"Samantha, our relationship has broken. You can't come to my house as you want anymore." Jacob stands up and folds his hands in front of his chest.
"Jacob, there was a misunderstood between us. I'm still loving you. And, I know you still love me too. Why don't we give a second chance to build a new relationship between us?" Samantha holds Jacob's hands softly.
Jacob still remembers that time until now. The time when he finally broke their engagement. Some friends have told him about Samantha's behaviors behind Jacob. She always dated different men. Eric ever saw Samantha holding hands intimately with a man and they were checking in at a hotel. Jacob doesn't believe him at that time because he trusted his lover so much.
However, after some time he wanted to reassure his heart. When Samantha asked him to accompany her going to a friend's house, Jacob said he can't. Actually, he was testing Samantha and spied her from afar. Jacob saw with his own eyes that Samantha hugs a man and held his hand to a place. They were so close and laugh at each other. Jacob still had a positive mind that he was only one of her friends. In a lonely and quiet place, Jacob saw Samantha and the man kissed each other very deeply and lovingly. Surely, it's not a friendship anymore. No friend will kiss his/her friend so intimately.
"Samantha," Jacob called her in a low voice and big smile.
Samantha was very shocked to see Jacob here. She thought Jacob couldn't go with her so she asked the man she kissed before.
"Jacob. I – I just …" Samantha spoke nervously as she was caught kissing another man.
"We are over." Jacob left her behind and didn't care about her calling.
"Jacob, I know I was wrong. However, I can' stop thinking of you. We are engaging and our both families have agreed that. Please forgive me and give me another chance!" Samantha shows her guilty face with almost teary eyes.
"I'm sorry I can't. I have something urgent to do. Please leave the house and never come back! I still respect you so please respect my decision too." Jacob stared at her with a sharp, unblinking gaze. Samantha takes a deep breath and leaves the house with slow steps. After 2 seconds, she turned his body back and said, "We are not over yet. I will think that you need time to think about our relationship."
"It's up to you. For me, we are over. You and I can build a new relationship with others." Jacob sits and continues eating his breakfast, without considering the existence of Samantha. Samantha went out while grinding her teeth.
"You can come out now," Jacob speaks louder. He knew that Angela has listened to what he and Samantha talked about. Angela comes out of her hiding kitchen. She walks casually as if she had heard nothing.
"Enjoy your food before you face a new work experience." Jacob smiles faintly. They are eating without saying anything. Sometimes Jacob sees Angela, vice versa.
And, now they are in the same car to go to Scott's office.
"He is one of my friends and he is a technical engineer. He is Eric's elder brother the man that you saw yesterday. You are my private assistant now and you handle local matters, which means you are always with me wherever I go around the Indonesia area. Understood?" Jacob is typing on his laptop without looking at Angela who is opening her mouth widely.
"Around Indonesia? Why do I think you will make me do a lot of travel? And, I want to know. How much will you pay me to accompany you on doing business around Indonesia?" Angela's question made Jacob turns his head and ignores his laptop for a while.
"Hmm, I guess for once trip around a hundred dollar," Jacob said.
"A hundred dollar? Wait!" Angela took out a small book from her sling bag. She wrote something on it. Jacob sees while furrowing his brows.
"Sign this!" Angela handed over her book and asked Jacob to sign on the top of her finger points.
"What is this?"
"A new agreement regarding the business trip. I don't want you to forget what you said earlier. Remember, 100 dollars for each trip." Angela smiles widely meanwhile Jacob laughs out loud.
"You even have to note this?" Jacob couldn't believe what he saw.
"For you, yes I have to." Angela shows her firm face. Jacob takes a deep breath, having no idea what to do with this new assistant. Whatsoever, he put his signature on it. Angela feels happy and relieved. She puts the book into her bag and smiles more widely.
"If I have more trips, I'm sure I can pay off my debt early. Wooah, what a good view outside." Angela looks at the street outside from a car window. Her heart is full of enthusiasm because she would get more money. Meanwhile, Jacob feels there is an emptiness in his heart to hear Angela said that
After one hour, they arrive at a five-story building. Though the building is smaller than Jacob's, the building's concept and arrangement are very unique and the aesthetic element is very stunning. Angela loves this place right away.
Jacob asked Angela to walk quickly. Angela walks faster because Jacob has waited in front of the elevator. Now, they are in the elevator and Jacob pressed number 5. The boss is always on the highest floor.
