Conquering your Love

EP 20

Lana desperately wants to spill a lumpy capuccino into Hans' trousers and apply her cream all over Hans's body. Lana looked at Hans coldly and hatefully which never emanated from her pretty eyes.

Hans saw the change of attitude and Lana's gaze on him, she felt a little shudder. But thanks to his experience in the business world that makes it cold, Hans was able to control the emotions in him. Hans's eyebrows shot up "Yes, you're right. I was using you. It's the only way to do surveillance and save the company I just took over and also save the workers who can be saved by sending them to rehab for narcotics abuse. Can you think of how many families you could save?"

"I have to start from zero to do this investigation and refurbishment myself and I need your help" Hans added.

The idea made Lana smile faintly.

"Will you do that?" ask Hans again.

Lana hesitates. Hans expected it. But not Hans by name, if he doesn't prepare everything in detail. He will take advantage of Lana's weakness, which is a soft and kind heart. Hans shoves a photo on Lana. A photo of two boys smiling broadly. They have black hair, thick and straight and black skin. They look like Latinos. Lana looked back at Hans with a look of question marks.

"You must have heard about the case that your boss, Ryan, handled by himself, this morning, right? Well these kids are the kids of Miss Anna who are under suspicion of using narcotics. There's a lot more under suspicion in your office. I just want everything to be good again. The company stabilized so that we could give more pay to those who are very dedicated and also. I want no more victims of drug abuse, because the real victims are their families."

Lana just kept quiet and did not answer Hans. So Hans had to use words that could make the heart of the woman in front of him soften. "Don't you want the kids in your life, Na?" said Hans softly.

"I want the child in my life. So I was very careful in choosing a partner. I don't want to have a wife like my mom to make my kids feel what's happening to me." Hans added, staring expectantly at Lana.

Lana groans in her heart. He feels like helping but on the one hand he fears getting hurt again because Hans will only give him hope and will eventually drop his love and self-esteem again.

"Why didn't you ask Joy to help you?" ask Lana lirih.

"Come Lana. You know for yourself that Joy doesn't work there and Joy's not very suitable to help me with this. It could be too dangerous" Hans said without thinking about Lana's feelings.

Lana becomes even more saddened to hear Hans say that the man does not want to put Joy, his beloved lover into danger. While the man, intentionally, put himself into danger. Lana looked back at the photo. Her little heart said, she doesn't need to do this for Hans. He will do it for children who deserve to be happy and loved.

"At the same time, Joy and I have never been exposed to the media. Only certain people know that I'm dating him. So I can be free to carry out this plan with you." added Hans to calm Lana, as if this plan had been carefully planned.

"I'll help you only this time and it's all just for the sake of the kids" Lana said.

"You haven't answered my question!" hans is urgent.

"Which question?" ask Lana.

"About having children" Hans said as he stared intensely at Lana's face.

"Of course I want to. I'm like you too. I will also find a good life partner and love family." explained Lana.

Lana looked at Hans sharply as she felt that she was currently being played with the man sitting arrogantly in front of her. The capuccino that was supposed to taste sweet, is now bland. Heartful.

"No. You're not in it. I also have a condition to cooperate with you." Lana replied firmly for the sake of protecting her heart and pride again.

"Of course" said Hans disappointed by Lana's reply. Somehow he felt empty when the girl he had been avoiding him all this time was avoiding him. Hans felt like he wanted to stay close, hug, kiss and kiss this girl again. Lana looks even more beautiful in her work suit, her red blouse makes her graceful. Lana also does not wear excessive make-up like Joy, which actually makes the girl beautiful.

"Of course you have conditions. Mention it!"

"I don't want any physical contact between us and we'll only go on a show when there's only people you suspect around. I also want you to tell anyone you're suspecting."

"And outside the office, we don't have to play anymore and you don't have the right to rule my life. Likewise with me who will not interfere in your life."

"Yes and no." replied Hans who instead made Lana confused.

"You mean?"

"I can't promise about physical contact. I will tell you who I suspect and I will also put some bodyguards to look after you. So about your privacy, I can't promise. I hope you don't date other men either."

"Just until the issue is resolved." Hans added.

With a heavy heart, Lana just nodded her head indicating that she agreed. Lana looked at her watch. The bus is coming soon so he needs to wait at a stop near the office.

"I left first because I needed to catch the bus" Lana said as she stood up and picked up the bag and suit she had attached to the seat beside her. "Thank you for the capuccino and the biscotti. See you soon."

Hans immediately stood up and his hand automatically pulled Lana's arm to stop the girl. "I'll drive you."

"No need. I'm more comfortable getting on the bus." refused Lana.

Hans' forehead frowned at Lana's words. The girl had completely changed in just two weeks. Lana avoids. Hans found it hard to ascertain his own feelings for the girl when it was likely that the girl had already closed the door to his heart. Hans breathed out in frustration.

He looked at the back of the girl who left him. At the very least, he had already agreed to cooperate with me. So I still have a chance, inner Hans even though he feels dissatisfied. It's been two weeks now, for some reason, that she's also been avoiding Joy when she calls him. His head was always filled with Lana's face that he was kissing and smelling.

Hans also comes out of the cafe and intends to follow Lana secretly.
