“Can we start?” Stefanie sits upright, showing seriousness in work.
Affected by him, Nicholas also became serious.
He leaned back on the sofa, folded his hands in front of his chest, and listened attentively, "Let's start."
Stefanie nodded then took out a small notebook from her bag.
Whenever there was time, Stefanie would record all the news about Nicholas that was in her memory. After all, he owed Nicholas a debt, so of course he had to treat Nicholas specifically and give him predictions that were 100% accurate.
Nicholas' career in the next few years is not as bad as Jenny and Oscar's, but he himself is very pessimistic, and it seems he has no motivation to fight in the entertainment world.
After rumors of an affair, Nicholas kept silent for more than half a year, and then with Denny's efforts, he starred in the new film of a famous domestic director. The work was well made, but the content was not good, the sales and judgment were also not good.
Facing this result, Denny is anxious, so he helps her find a good serial drama work, but as Jenny says, not all TV series can be broadcast smoothly, but as Jenny says, one of the players had negative news.
The problem about the album song, Bintang Cipta Entertainment also did not care about Nicholas, the company gave all sources of funds to the boy band. Even the album track "Weather and You" which was originally designed specifically for Nicholas was also shared, two songs were given to Simon, and five songs were given to the boy band.
Later, Denny helps Nicholas find cooperation with some well-rated reality shows, but at the time, too many famous artists showed up, there were already not many people who wanted to watch Nicholas, so most of them cut his scenes. Sometimes there is one scene that is long in duration, but they also use editing to create controversial, such as Nicholas hating XX, Nicholas mocking XX, Nicholas making fun of his seniors to XX and so on ...
After passing two years in such a way, Nicholas completely disappeared from the public eye after Denny's and Cipta Entertainment's employment contract expired.
Reviewing the process of ending the career of Nicholas, a famous idol. Stefanie's cheeks were hot with guilt.
If not for him, Nicholas should have been popular for over ten years.
“No more?” There were no signs of depression on Nicholas' face, and there seemed to be interest in his long, narrowed eyes.
Looking closer, Stefanie involuntarily frowned, and asked the doubt in her heart, "Nicholas, do you .. deliberately not want to be popular?"
Nicholas was a little surprised, "No."
If he admits it, doesn't that mean he has given up?
"There really isn't?"
Nicholas replied with a sincere expression, "Yes."
Stefanie still couldn't believe it, "Then why don't you clarify the rumors? Obviously that night you went looking ...."
Stefanie suddenly stopped continuing, realizing that she had leaked a secret, her heartbeat suddenly skipped a beat, and the hand holding the book let out a cold sweat.
Nicholas leaned over, turned to face him, and slightly raised his eyebrows, "I'm obviously looking for Erick?"
"Ah .. true, ‘kan?"
Stefanie forced herself to calm down immediately, "I saw a popular comment on the internet, saying that you were looking for Erick that night, and it just so happened that he had a fight with his girlfriend, you were kind enough to break up the quarrel, you said, but it was instead photographed by an evil paparazzi reporter."
Nicholas did hear Denny say that there was someone helping him clarify, so he didn't suspect her, "So, you always believed that Erick's girlfriend and I had nothing to do?"
Stefanie sighed in relief and nodded, "I'm sure you're innocent!"
Satisfied that Stefanie trusted him, Nicholas reached out and rubbed Stefanie's head, "Good then."
Finished saying, Nicholas saw the clock on the wall, it was already 17:25 WIB.
"Are you not curious about the food I make? How do we continue while eating?"
Pulling back his mind from the pleasures of Nicholas's hand, Stefanie also took a glance at the time, "May as well."
“But, let me help you.” Stefanie got up with Nicholas and walked towards the white table that was ten meters away.
Nicholas walked forward without looking back, then deliberately joked "Why, are you afraid I learned from Junardi?"
"No, I just feel bad if it doesn't help at all ..."
Stefanie was not at all wary of Nicholas, and after hearing Nicholas' joke, she began to wonder to herself.
Why would he believe it for no reason? Feeling like he's not a dick?
Because he helped her on the yacht? Or because he's his senior brother at UNS, so has a familiar feeling?
As her mind drifted, Stefanie did not have time to stop her footsteps and bumped into Nicholas who stopped in front of her to wear an apron.
"No need to help, you just need to sit here and watch." Nicholas looked at her with a pampering gaze, then extended his hand and hugged Stefanie's slender waist as he did on the yacht that night. Then he lifted her up and took her sitting on the kitchen table behind him.
Sitting at a tall kitchen table, Stefanie suddenly grew tall, their gaze was similarly high. The two looked at each other, Stefanie blushed in embarrassment.
Stefanie lowered her head in a panic, then saw her feet not stepping on the floor, "I'd better get off."
Seeing that Stefanie was about to jump, Nicholas stepped forward domineeringly, and blocked her with both of his sturdy arms..
"Listen to my orders."
A gentle man's voice followed by a warm breath felt in his ears. Stefanie shuddered too. His heart was racing again.
Anyway, he was defeated by the gentleness and firmness of this man in front of him. Stefanie was forced to sit obediently on the kitchen table.
Nicholas smiled with satisfaction, he turned to open the refrigerator and asked, "What do you want to eat? Vegetable soup?"
Stefanie stared at Nicholas's refrigerator that looked like a treasure box, "A lot of ingredients, it looks like you're really good at cooking."
"..." - ".Ow hell! Start him again.
Stefanie looked helpless, ordered two short meals, and then went back to the topic, "Nicholas, is there anything else you want to ask about your future?"
Nicholas rolled up his sleeves slowly, showing the beautiful muscular lines of his arms. Then holding the green broccoli while looking at Stefanie, "Who's my wife?"
"Huh?" Not expecting Nicholas to ask this, Stefanie is shocked and explains awkwardly, "I ... in the next few years you won't get married, but there's a scandal."
"What kind of scandal?"
Stefanie tried hard to remember, then said, "You have two girlfriends, one co-worker, and one regular girl."
Nicholas said without hesitation, "Who is that ordinary girl?"
Stefanie was surprised, "Aren't you supposed to be more curious about your coworkers?"
"I'm not curious, I just want to know who that ordinary girl is."
"Well, that prediction is just a rough idea. How could it be so specific as to know his name and the shape of his face."
"really? Then how old is he, how many years younger than me?"
Stefanie shook her head, "Don't ask me again, I've leaked too many secrets today, if it continues ... " I'm afraid my secret will leak!
Glancing at his mysterious appearance, Nicholas felt amused and no longer asked.
“But, with your current circumstances, you do not have to worry about not getting a wife.” After saying this, Stefanie took out a cell phone from her pocket and took some photos of Nicholas cutting vegetables in an apron.
"I'm going to send you these photos, then you give them to your assistant, have him upload them on Instagram. Your funny appearance is different than usual will attract a lot of fans."
“Really?” Nicholas took the phone out of Stefanie's hand, then tapped on the phone's screen several times with a focused gaze.
Stefanie thought she was beautifying her face, and when she was about to complain, Nicholas had already put the phone back into her hands.
Stefanie glanced at the phone screen, apparently Nicholas replaced the phone screen with his photo.
"As an experiment, if you become my loyal fan because every day I see my photos, I'll ask Denny to upload them to Instagram."
Hearing this, Stefanie immediately acted like a child fan who was excited to see her favorite idol, she covered her small mouth with both hands, and exclaimed in a shrill voice, “Wow, Nicholas! I'm your fan! I love your songs and movies! Can I have your autograph!"
Nicholas' thin lips clenched tightly, he held back his smile and added, "What I'm saying is not fans who just want signatures."
"Then what else ..."
Not finishing his words, Stefanie saw Nicholas' smiling gaze, she immediately knew what Nicholas wanted.
"..."
Seeing Stefanie frowning in anger, Nicholas knew Stefanie already knew what she wanted, he laughed out loud.
"Ding dong ..."
At this moment, the doorbell of the video intercom rang.
Stefanie was somehow nervous, then looked at Nicholas in a panic, "Could it be a media reporter, should I hide first?"
Nicholas bought this house in the name of Efendi. Only his family and Denny know that he lives here, so there's no way a media reporter is coming.
But Nicholas was already addicted to teasing her, he pretended to show a nervous expression, "May, then you hide first."
Stefanie nodded and jumped off the kitchen table, "Hidden where?"
Nicholas reached out his finger and pointed up at "My bedroom."
Stefanie found it inappropriate, "No, what if they were being rude and barged into the room and found me?"
"Then I'll say that you are ..." Nicholas deliberately paused for a moment, "my wife."
!!!
Stefanie said helplessly, "Now is not the time to joke!"
“OK, I won't joke anymore.” Nicholas smiled, the nervous expression on his face disappeared, “I'll open the door.”
"Hey?" Stefanie followed and grabbed Nicholas' hand that walked towards the door, "Then do I still have to hide?"
"Whatever.."
"..." - ".Just in case, he better hide.
“Krek ..”
Hearing the sound of the door closing behind him, Nicholas turned around.
In the large living room, Stefanie's little figure had disappeared.
"Ding dong ..."
Outside, guests rang the bell again, as if convinced Nicholas was home.
