Hi Love Come Back

chapter 56. New project.

I don't know why I could never position Tom as a man. I always thought of him as a friend or a brother. Can't be other than that.

Do I have to accept it now?

Is it fair to Tom if my heart isn't on him?

Tom's kindness to me has been so much. Should I accept it in return? If this is what happens, will Tom still be willing?

Dean...what should I do, honey?

Lea needs a father figure too. If only you were still here, Dean.

Is it okay if I'm the only one who plays the role of Mom and Dad for Lea?

I closed my laptop. I tidied up the desk and walked away from there.

I need to get home to see my son.

***

"Hi Iyaaang." I said to Leah when I had just arrived home.

Leah ran straight towards me.

When I was in Lea's office being treated by a baby sitter. I wanted to be with Lea, but I had to make money for our living expenses. If Lea I leave it at Ma's house is also impossible, I'm not willing to be far from her.

At 8pm Lea was asleep. I looked at his calm face.

"Whatever Mommy will do for you, baby." I said as I stroked her hair.

***

This morning it seemed like the goddess Fortuna was away from me. Still two-thirds of the way to my car office broke down.

I called the technician and they said they'd pick up the car later. I'll take a taxi to the office.

While waiting for the technician to arrive, there was a car approaching. A man came down from there.

"Sally, is your car on strike?" tanyakanya.

"Yes" I replied.

"I'm trying to see ya?" tanyakanya.

"No need, thank you. I called the technician." I said.

"Well, I'll accompany you until the technician arrives" he said.

"No, I can do it myself." I replied.

"Then I will accompany you" he said casually.

It didn't rain long. I get in the car, he's coming to the passenger side. In our current place far from the shelter.

"The rain is heavy, your shirt is a bit wet. Wear this, so you don't catch a cold" he said, giving me his coat.

"Thank you, but don't." reject me.

"Your clothes are white, wet like that you should wear this. Later if the technician comes do you want him to see?" he said while looking at me.

I took the suit, and I covered my body. True too, it turned out that what was inside my clothes was exposed because it was wet.

"You.." I said glaring at him.

"Relax, I just saw a little" she replied.

I immediately looked upset.

30 Minutes later the technician came, and took my car. It was still raining and it was hard to find a taxi.

I accepted his offer to take me home. Because it is not possible to also wear wet clothes to the office.

***

"Please enter! What do you want to drink?" I said.

"Warm tea is fine." she replied.

"Ok" I immediately headed to the room to change clothes.

I made some warm tea for him.

When I got near the living room. I was presented with another view.

Lea was riding on the man's back, and he was crawling on the floor. They both laughed happily.

"Ehem.. Here's the tea, please have a drink. Lea you can't be like that, baby. Pity her." I said while holding Lea.

"It's not Lea's fault, I offered it. Isn't that Lea?" the man said as he blinked one eye at Lea.

Lea just nodded.

"Lea's the same sister again huh. Mama wants to go to work. Bye dear.." I said as I kissed Lea's cheeks.

"Thank you for the help. But I'm sorry I have to go to work." I said to the man.

"I'm going to take you" he said.

"No need, I can order a taxi from here" I said.

"That took a long time. I have business at the resort anyway. So our goal is the same. Ain't it wrong we're going together?" said.

We headed to the resort together. We got off together at the Lobby resort. His car was placed in the valey resort service.

"Thank you for everything. I go to the room first." I said.

"Either. Ok!" the answer.

***

The meeting is about to begin. We are waiting for our guests to join us in this meeting.

Turns out...

"It looks like you all know who he is. Mr. Chris will take part in the project this time" Mr. Lucas said in a meeting this morning.

Chris smiled meaningfully at me. Being stared at like that makes me bow.

Meeting went well. For a field survey next week from our side, asked me to represent.

The plan will be made a new resort in the southern city of Contento. Grande Corp. as a landowner will cooperate with Ferie Group.

***

My car picked me up this morning. I'll go to the site for the construction of the new resort later.

"Emmm.. I picked Lea up. Later if there is anything please contact me immediately. At the very end of the day I'm home." I'll give a message to Lea's nanny.

"Yes ma'am." replied Emma.

"Lea baby, mommy go first huh. All right at home. Mommy's gonna miss you so much." I hugged and kissed my son.

"Yeah.. Mom.." Lea kissed me on the cheek.

Me and the office driver headed to their destination. Grande Corp will be represented by their Operations Manager. We'll meet there.

It took almost 5 hours to travel. We got to the destination.

"Hallo Bu Gerda, I've reached the location. Where is mom?" I asked the representative of Grande Corp.

"Mom Sally, sorry.. I did not meet Mom. From our side represented Mr. Chris, he said he would handle this project directly." replied Gerda.

Gerda's reply just surprised me.

"Hallo Bu Sally, it's okay, isn't it? Because Mr. Chris wants this project there is no mistake." continued Gerda.

"Yes, ma'am, it's okay" I replied.

My phone call with Gerda is over.

"Mr Sally, Mr. Chris is waiting. Can you come with me?" grande Corp staff said.

"OK!" my answer.

Then I followed where the staff was taking me. We headed for a large area on the cliff. The view goes straight to the ocean.

Chris was already there standing gallantly facing the ocean.

"Sir Chris!" call Chris's PA.

Chris turned towards us. Opening his sunglasses.

"So like this Mr. site plan from us." I said while giving a picture to Chris.

Chris looked at the picture.

"This is later we need some expansion. There's a little extra. Most of us just take care of the extension permit." I explained.

"Ok too" said Chris while returning the picture to me.

We walked down the places that would be built later. In the afternoon, we decided to go to the nearest hotel. Because it wasn't enough to finish today.

This is anticipated by Ferie Group. Our hotel in Contento has prepared rooms for me and Grande Corp. Looks like we're upgrading the room for Chris. Because I just booked a Deluxe room for Gerda. He was replaced by Chris.

***

We arrived at the Smurk hotel in South Contento.

"So sir, I'm asking for the keys to his room" I told Chris.

Not long after I got the keys to each room. I asked the roomboy to bring a suitcase and take Chris to his room. And I'm headed to my own room.

"Emma, where's Lea?" I did a video call with Emma.

"It's Lea Bu, Lea it's Mami" Emma said as she pointed her phone at Lea.

"Mamiiii." said Lea with a big smile that showed her small teeth lined up neatly.

"Hi darling.. Your mami kangen. Mama's a lot today? What did you play with Emma's sister?" I asked Lea.

The conversation between me, Lea, and Emma lasted 20 minutes. I went to the bathroom to clean my body.

After the shower I have to accompany Grande Corp to dinner. Conversations we have about ongoing projects.
