Best Defense

The Bed Woman!

I walked into my study, time showed at 9.10am when I arrived. The panic attack that attacked me yesterday plus hearing Mia's magic spell that awakened me made me skip yesterday. Wait, this is my boutique! Why should I skip, am I not free to come at any time? I'm the boss, right?

Last night I couldn't sleep well thinking about all the things Mia said about me, Ben, Nino, and Sean. I can handle my problems with Ben, but I haven't confirmed it for Nino and Sean. I'm really confused right now, should I forget about Nino and accept Sean? Or try to get back together with Nino, and live happily as a parent to Ben? Be happy? Wow, I've forgotten what it's like.

I turned on my laptop, checked some work-related emails, sent replies to some of them. My eyes were fixed on a private email that I had never opened after I found out who owned the email address. And sean!!! I never let him call me on my phone, even though he had my phone number. I don't want him to disturb my private area by calling me constantly. Be that she always sends me messages through my boutique email address.

I wonder if I want to open it, what did it send me all this time?

"Ah, do I just open it?" I said monologue. I doubt that my index finger is ready on the mouse, but I am still wondering if I should open it or not.

"Ah, Denise!" I flicked my finger when I remembered Denise. I walked to the door, looked out to see Denise, I was lucky she was tidying up the hair on her desk.

"Denise, let me in the room for a second!" call me, I go straight in and sit in my hot seat.

Denise came in with a pouting face, I know she's still upset that I gave her all the work yesterday. This girl hasn't made up with me.

"Double bonus this month!" my words hit him hard, his upset face just disappeared, changing with the 'YES' gesture of his hands clenching in the air.

"Not in vain have I been acting sulky since yesterday!" he said proudly. Shit, he's pranking me again!

"I want to ask you something." I said without wasting any time, you saw his face getting more enthusiastic, he knew I was going to discuss something important.

"I'm listening, boss!"

I thought for a moment, should I ask him, "Do you think Sean really likes me?" finally, I said it.

It was obvious that the look of surprise on the face of this girl who was facing me, she immediately pulled out a chair and sat down quickly. Her face was, ah, adorable!

"You're interested in him now, boss?"

"Hm, I don't think there's any harm in trying. You know, I still need a man next to me." I answered honestly. I see Denise smiling, I can't guess what's on her head right now. Suspicious smile.

"Boss, listen to me," once excited this girl, "I don't know if she's the kind of guy you want to be or not, but I'm pretty sure she's a good guy. I can see his sincerity in you, boss. He never gives up even if you refuse him so many times, the guy keeps coming and seeing you, trying again, seducing, flirting, even I think he deliberately pisses you off so you can't forget him. Someday you'll lose if he stops, boss! Don't let that happen."

I'm listening, Denise's saying has a point. Sean kept coming even though I always scolded him with all my swearing.

"Do I have to accept it?" I'm not sure yet, I want to be sure again. Experience does make me have to be vigilant, not to fall into the same hole for the second time. I don't want to repeat it, believe in someone and end up with betrayal.

Denise sighed, I saw her hesitating to say something, "Well, boss! I can't suggest anything, ask yourself. Heart business can't be according to anyone else, you know yourself, boss!"

Yeah, he's right! I should understand my own feelings.

"But I don't love him." Denise laughed, either mocking or feeling funny with my answer.

"You're asking the wrong person then, boss! I don't believe in love, it just makes me feel like a fool! I never want to get caught up in it, choose someone for love, then give my whole life to him, and end up obeying all his will without thinking of my own."

"I have my own life, I want to enjoy my life instead of being a submissive woman and sacrificing my happiness. I'll tell you one secret, boss, I don't love Carlo. I was with him because I liked his greatness in bed! That guy is incredibly tough, hahaha!"

I thawed, I threw my pen right against his chest, not that I didn't know the thought of this dirty girl in front of me. This year I knew him pretty well, his brain never got away from a baseball bat staring at a man.

"Why don't you just marry him? Don't you like the smackdown style?" I ask, I'm still curious about this perverted girl.

Denise shook her head, it seemed like my question was a little heavy, I could understand when I saw her looking down. Hey, why is he suddenly melancholy like this!

"Marriage isn't just a bed, boss. I can get that pleasure whenever I want, getting married is a complex thing. It cannot be decided with pleasure on the one hand, many things to consider, I will only marry someone who can take responsibility, not for me, but for himself."

I'm interested in this! I folded my hands together on the table, indicating I wanted to hear more. I can't believe this girl still has a pretty good idea besides her charms.

"You mean?"

"I dated a few men before Carlo, but none of them were responsible for themselves. I dislike people who can't tell which wants and needs are, who don't know what to put first. Deciding something based on need is a form of responsibility, many people do not realize this, eventually they vent something on others, even though they are not able to think logically."

Complicated, it's too heavy to start my day. Denise laughed when she saw me trying to digest her words, I really didn't understand what she meant.

"Can you just tell me the point?" in my protest, my brain was unable to accept his ambiguous sentence, spinning around without an end that I could catch.

"Well, for example, I married a man I've known for a long time, I knew everything about him, anything, and then one day we had a fuss over a trivial matter, like when I came home late, like I was late, he was angry and scolded me, but never before. His attitude must have astonished me, until I finally found out he had a problem with work. I'm clear on one thing, don't bring outside trouble into the house, because you're gonna screw things up. Up here you understand, boss?"

I nodded, not understanding the point at all.

"Form the responsibility I mean here, you have to be able to determine the priority scale. When you work then your main job, your need at that time is to work, do not mix it with your desire to meet your partner even though your chest feels will explode because of longing. The opposite is true at home."

Interesting, really interesting! I understand now, this girl is indeed amazing, she is no less surprising than Mia. I just realized I have people with pent-up talent like those around me. They really know how to put themselves. I need to learn more from those two stupid girls.

"Carlo asked me to check in, boss!" I was wide-eyed, she could have just as casually said it.

"Aren't you at work, what responsibility did you just say?" sindirku.

"That doesn't apply to me, hahaha!" he walked out and left me.

"Damn it, you tricked me again?"
