I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
The Part 23
"Good day, with agent Maid Home Magic, how can we help you?"
A woman's voice was heard across the street from Laras' cell phone.
"Good day, Miss .. I have something to ask, about a month ago Maid Home Magic channeled me a job in Greenwich Village, emh .. is there a chance that I can change my workplace?" ask Laras.
"Please fill in the data back on our website, do not forget to give a description of the previous workplace, after that please wait until there is a new workplace notice that we will send by email. We will also contact your old workplace immediately and replace you with a new one."
"Thank you."
Laras hung up. With deep breaths. Her determination is unanimous to move to work from Madame Rose's house. Actually Laras was at home working there, especially Madame Rose was very good to him. But if he continues his work at the woman's place, Laras will often meet with Ben. It would make it hard to forget his feelings for the man.
Laras put on his thick coat, put on his boots and grabbed his sling bag and rushed out of his apartment.

SATURDAY, 2 FEBRUARY 2020
Ben stopped his car in front of Madame Rose's house. As usual every weekend he would stay at his grandmother's house.
But lately inexplicably the presence of Laras makes him eager to wait every weekend. Not even usually Ben refused his women's invitation to date.
The blue-eyed man walked into the luxurious pink-painted house. Look for the figure of Laras in the kitchen. But he only sees Lupita and an afro-american girl busy preparing lunch for Madame Rose. Ben squinted his forehead. Why is there a new assistant, he thought.
"Lupita, do you know where Laras is?" ask Ben.
"Hi Ben .. own .. didn't you know Laras doesn't work here anymore?" Lupita asked back, though,
it made Ben surprised to hear it. "And this is Serena, who replaced Laras. "Lupita introduces the black girl named Serena to Ben.
Of course Serena knew the figure of Benjamin Chevalier. The girl pranced with excitement as she greeted Ben.
Ben greeted the girl kindly. Then step up to Madame Rose's room.
"Benji," said Madame Rose as she removed the glasses she wore to read the book.
"Do you know why Laras doesn't work here anymore?" ask Ben.
"Yesterday the agent who channeled Laras called me, they'll replace Laras with a new assistant, but they didn't tell me why .a pity, even though I really liked the girl" Madame Rose said.
Ben's face looks gloomy. Various questions came to his mind.
Madame Rose noticed the change in her grandson's face.
"Ben, are you okay?" his tan disperse the reverie of Ben.
"Ah . yes, Nana," she said, her eyes blank.
Madame Rose smiled. Seems to have figured out what Ben had in mind.
"You can still meet Laras on campus, right? Or you could come to his apartment, why do you look so desperate, Ben?" said the old woman while smiling mischievously.
"No, Nana . I'm just wondering."
Madame Rose raised her eyebrows. Ben was still trying to hide his feelings.
"Fight to get what your heart wants, like you fought to be the rockstar you are today, without your parents' help."
Ben's parents are millionaires. His father, Richard Chevalier, son of Madame Rose, was a property entrepreneur in Oregon whose business networks were ubiquitous. His mother, Monica Chevalier, was a famous former model of the 80s. Ben left his parents' home 6 years ago at the age of 18 to pursue a career in music. Which is certainly opposed by his father who wants Ben to follow in his footsteps in the property business.
Great fights happen. Ben went to New York with nothing. He wants to prove to his father that he is capable of being successful without his help.
She lived with Madame Rose for a few months until she decided to move into her small apartment at that time.
Ben looked at his grandmother in wonder. Why did he say those words to her. What the woman thought. Can he read his mind.
