I Am Yours, Mr Chevalier!
Part 48's
Laras tidied up the skirt of his work uniform and stepped closer to Larry, his boss who was looking at him while crossing his arms to the front of his chest. The girl had resigned whatever became the boss's decision.
"Larry, I'm . sorry to have been truant for a few days, it's up to you to cut my pay or worst, fire me" Laras said with a resigned face.
Larry remained silent. His eyes stared intently at Laras. The girl gulped her saliva with great difficulty. Waiting for the reaction from his boss.
The middle-aged man's laughter exploded. The barrel furrowed its brows in astonishment, or rather confusion.
"Look down Laras, Benjamin Chevalier, your boyfriend has threatened me that if I ever fire you, he'll shut this place down" Larry said in a statement.
Baras was flabbergasted, the look on his face still showed confusion.
"Ta - but, he's not ...."
"Yeah, maybe I'll cut your pay." Larry blinked one eye then passed from before Laras who was still dumbfounded.
Did Ben threaten Larry? Inner barrel. The casanova really always had an original idea. Just as good as her head. Laras shook his head, then smiled knotfully. At least he wasn't fired. It's just that she's confused between thanking Ben or scolding him. Because right now Laras really feels bad about Larry. Is there no more polite way to make Larry not fire him, Inner Baras.
"Hey, Laras .. check this out!"
Meghan, her co-worker, thrust her phone into Laras's face. An Instagram page showing a photo of him and Ben with some hippies group he met a few days ago.
"How did you find that photo?" ask Laras wonder.
"I found it randomly on the explore tab, maybe one of the hippies posted it," Megan replied with a smile that Laras found very annoying.
"So?" challenge Laras. The girl raised both eyebrows.
"So you still want to deny that Ben is your girlfriend?"
Barrel rolled his eyeballs off guard.
"Indeed he's not my girlfriend" Baras argued.
"So what are you guys? A date?"
Hissing barrel. "Whatever!"
Megan simply ignored him and left the woman struggling with her high curiosity. The blue-hair painted woman snorted in annoyance while nagging indistinctly.

"Hi Mrs Chevalier" said Catherine when she came before Laras.
"Shut up!" hardik Laras's.
Catherine laughed out loud. The misbehaving Baras expression was so funny.
Laras offered the coffee he had ordered to Catherine.
"How's the road trip? Did something happen .. hmmmm ...." Catherine did not continue her words. Only his mischievous smile was what he threw out and made Laras careless.
"Nothing happened, satisfied?" exclaims Laras while rounding his eyes.
"Geez Laras, are you stupid or naive? Missed the chance to make love to a Benjamin Chevalier" Catherine said, sipping her coffee.
The barrel just tucks his shoulder.
"Don't you be a lesbian?" accuse Catherine.
"Maybe," Laras replied as he rolled his eyes and made a kissy gesture with his lips towards Catherine.
"Eew Laras, you're scaring me" Catherine scolded
making Laras chuckle. "Are you guys dating?" ask Catherine curiously.
Laras.
"Then?"
"You know, Ben is Ben .he's still a rockstar who's free to choose any woman to sleep with, but I'm not those women." Laras was still upset by Ben's words over the phone yesterday. Even the messages and phone calls from the man were not answered at all.
"Ah Baras, you're too negatively judging her."
Barrels flicked his shoulders. His eyes glanced ahead. Beset his longing to the owner of the tattoo of the cross wrapped around the snake on his back. But his heart was still upset. I don't know, always his feelings for Ben like mixed between positive and negative, good and bad, sure and not.
