Jemima's Choice

Chapter 58

Jemima and Gerry arrive at a restaurant where the meeting place with his client. Gerry had opened the door of his car and Jemima saw a brown stain on the end of his lips.

"Sir for a moment" Gerry turned to Jemima who was holding his arm and took out a piece of tisue then cleaned the remaining chocolate jam from the bread Gerry ate.

"Okey is clean sir" Jemima without awkwardly cleaning the corner of Gerry's lips and patting Gerry's clothes so that no leftover bread left. Gerry who was treated suddenly like that made his heart beat fast. Jemima felt nothing in him.

"Pak ayok koq just there" Jemima invited Gerry who daydreamed and did not move from his stool.

"Eh i i i ya Je" immediately Gerry got out of his car and walked in front of Jemima into a Sundanese restaurant.

"Good day sir for how many people" asked a waiter as Jemima and Gerry walked into the room.

"2 but I have an appointment with Mr. Harmoko" Gerry said.

"Good I take you to the room" the waiter walks in first showing the VIP room where the client Gerry will meet is located.

"Please" said the waiter, pushing the wooden door of the VIP room.

"The late Mr. Harmoko" Gerry said to a Father who was enjoying a dish in front of him.

"Lock Ger sit here" Harmoko waved her hand and pointed at the 2 empty benches in front of her for Gerry and Jemima to sit there. Jemima and Gerry follow Harmoko's direction and Gerry sits right in front of Harmoko while Jemima is next to her.

"New" said Harmoko as she rolled her eyes at Jemima.

"Yes the new secretary, his name is Jemima, introduce" Gerry looked at Jemima to shake hands with Harmoko.

"Good day sir introduce my name Jemima" Jemima shook his hands while giving a sweet smile and he felt uneasy because the old fathers rubbed his hands.

"You want to eat what message we first just talked to" then Harmoko pressed the button on the table to call the waiter.

"I have coffee sir" said Gerry without looking at the menu, then Jemima immediately looked at his boss astonished because he did not order food.

"Pak forgot yes" said Jemima while poking Gerry's arm

"What?" gerry asked in surprise and furrowed his brows.

"So my father has not eaten koq now just drink coffee" explained Jemima in a whispering voice.

"You've already eaten Je's bread" Jemima glared back at Gerry unhappy with Gerry's reply.

"I just ordered you to eat" said Jemima again while flipping the menu in front of him choosing food for himself and Gerry. Before long the waiter came and was ready with the note he brought.

"So I ordered 1 meat soup with rice and fried rice 1 yes Mbak, drink caffe latex and 2 mineral water" jemima said as he closed the menu book and handed it to the waiter who immediately left after writing the order.

"How long journey, bro?" ask Harmoko

"Nearly 3 hours when entering here a bit jammed apparently"

"Later tonight I meet some of my colleagues to improve your business" said Harmoko

"Again why the business is as hard as this, use the name of your father as well as some businessmen will understand koq"

"Well don't sir I want to do my own business first. I want people to know that I don't deserve my Papa's name"

"Youth idealism, similar to what I used to be" Harmoko tendered herself and took a cynical look at Gerry's spirit

"Well sir thank you for the time later tonight I will follow to the place you call" they separated in front of the restaurant, Harmoko, who had been picked up by her driver, left Gerry and Jemima, who were soon walking to their parked car.

"Je sorry I think we should stay tonight" Gerry said as he drove his car out of the restaurant.

"But I don't bring clothes sir" exclaimed Jemima in a weak voice, in his heart it was not a matter of clothes that became a problem but he thought of Dira that he had not been able to tell.

"It looks like we're going to the mall right now buying some clothes to sleep on, tonight and tomorrow morning. Calm down I pay" Gerry said

"Search on the gooogle map, the nearest mall here, then book the hotel Setiabudi area" again Gerry gave the order to Jemima and answered with a nod.

They arrived at one of the biggest malls in Bandung.

"What kind of clothes do you usually buy?" jemima asked Gerry when they entered the department store and were in the men's section.

"Let's be free tonight a rather casual event might be able to buy jeans and shirts only" said Gerry

"Ehm okay, for a minute sir I choose" Jemima immediately headed to le one of the famous jeans counter and chose for Gerry, Jemima, he hasn't asked Gerry what size his boss pants are so he carries some size. He took a pair of cream-colored jeans then he moved to the shirt counter and chose a navy long-sleeved shirt. He imagined in his mind Gerry would be very fit and handsome when wearing it.

"This sir try first, I bring some size" said Jemima who approached Gerry sitting while playing his phone. Gerry then took the clothes from Jemima and went into the dressing room.

Jemima forgot that he had not contacted Dira because from then on he was always with his boss, because he saw Gerry had entered the dressing room he immediately contacted Dira.

"Boy afternoon what?" ask Jemima to his son who is currently watching a cartoon series with Bude Wati.

"Sorry baby, mama tonight there is work so can not go home, mama will ask Daddy to accompany you at home yes" said Jemima full of regrets. Because only this time he left Dira suddenly without preparation.

"Yes sorry dear" once again Jemima apologized to her protesting son across the street.

"Sorry dear" Jemima's voice grew weaker .

"Ehemmmm" Jemima was surprised by Gerry's voice behind him and hurriedly turned off his phone.

"I take this" said Gerry handed him 1 stel of clothes that fit his size.

"Good Sir"

"I want to find clothes to sleep on my own, you find your own clothes there later when you have finished contact me, do not be long" said Gerry lazy to Jemima.

"Yes sir" Jemima smiled and immediately went to the ladies section. It did not take long Jemima immediately attracted to Midi Dress Floran Elegant light blue which would be suitable if worn next to his boss. Then he took 1 set of pink satin pajamas with a spaghetti strap and pants on the knee and took 2 sets of underwear.

"I think it's enough" he said and contacted Gerry asking where he was.

"My brother is done, where are you? Well, sir, I followed him there" then Jemima walked quickly to the Cashier where Gerry was waiting for him.

"Sorry old man" said Jemima feeling bad. He was confused to choose underwear which is because the price is too expensive.

"Ordinary life" Gerry chanted expressionlessly.

In Jemima's mind, this boss must have often accompanied his girlfriends who were shopping and too long to wait so that his expression was like that.
