My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 59's

Part Four (Fara & Luki)

Fara, 24 years old

Fara got out of the taxi in a hurry. After two hours stuck in traffic on the highway, he climbed the stairs entering the Rafael Building. A year ago Fara proposed opening Catering Services to boost restaurant sales. After several successful trials, Antonio decided to continue his Catering services for birthday parties, weddings and office parties.

Now after a year of taking care of Catering Services, Fara managed to get a large client.

Rafael Group is engaged in property, hotels, supermarkets, and automotive. Its chief director, Charles Rafael, who once dined at Antonio's restaurant, was very fond of Italian cuisine. Last week he called to hire Antonio Catering Restaurant Services for his office employee party.

Although he had never met Charles Rafael in person, Fara was able to conclude that he was a friendly man after several telephone conversations. Even after learning of Fara's young age, Charles Rafael insisted on asking Fara to call him 'om'. Fara took that as a good sign. If Catering Services for Rafael Group succeed, Fara believes its Catering business can grow.

A year ago Fara asked her to quit her job. After being appointed head chef at Antonio's restaurant, Fara doesn't want her to work hard anymore. Fara's salary is enough to finance daily needs. Fara told mom, now is the time for her to take care of mom.

After being persuaded repeatedly, my mother finally agreed. Now mama lives at home, and to fill the time she started sewing clothes, a hobby she never had time to do.

Fara brought the proposal paper for the employee party food menu later while half running. In front of the lobby, he was given a guest card and proceeded towards the elevator that would take him upstairs. It was an hour late from his promise. Not a good sign for a good partnership. When she saw the elevator door open, Fara immediately ran. A man enters the elevator ahead of Fara. When Fara came in, the elevator rang. Signs of excess people. Fara sighed in exhaustion. He saw the people behind him. All the women, except the man who came in with her.

"I'm sorry, ." said Fara, pleading. "Can I give up and get out of this elevator? I'm too late for an important appointment."

The man looked at Fara without pity. "I went in first. Wasn't the last one in who should have relented?"

Behind Fara, people started to get restless.

With ease the man said. "It's not my fault you're late, is it?"

Finally with a heavy heart from being uneasy with the people behind her, Fara stepped out of the elevator. Before the elevator doors closed, the man said again. "You women don't want to be treated special, do you? Women should be equal to men. Hm....what is the term...emancipation, right?"

The elevator door closed. Fara was very upset. That guy is really annoying. I waited for the next elevator. Fifteen minutes later, he arrived at the workspace of Charles Rafael. Secretary Charles Rafael told him to enter immediately, after Fara introduced herself. Fara took a deep breath and prepared to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Fara looked into Charles Rafael's eyes in earnest. "There was an accident on the highway. Until I came here late. I'm sorry."

Charles Rafael looked at Fara. Fara's extremely Beautiful face, reminded her of someone in the past.

Fara went silent wrong. Charles Rafael did not comment for a while. "Ehm... Om... I'm Fara, the head chef of Antonio's restaurant. Sorry I'm late."

Charles Rafael then awoke from his daydream. "Oh yes, Fara. I really like your cooking."

"Thank you, o'm." Fara smiled. "Sorry, I'm late."

"It's okay." Charles Rafael smiled kindly. "Please sit down."
