My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 61's

As soon as the door of Charles's room closed, Luki looked at his papa face sharply. "That girl reminds me of who? That woman?"

Charles took a breath of annoyance. "Woman is your mother."

Now it was Luki's turn to grunt annoyed. "My mother is dead. Papa married the woman only a year after she died. Does papa not remember?"

"Papa remembers." Charles looked at his son sharply. "It's a good thing that she never showed up in front of me again." Luki looked at papa with deep sadness.

"Like it or not, she's still papa's wife." Charles looked at his son in annoyance.

"I hope papa never meets the woman again," Luki said slowly but surely.

"Luki...." Charles did not know what to say to express his anger. "I don't want to come back here," Luki opened her papa's office door, "but papa forced me to come. I've fulfilled papa's request. What else would papa want? I don't want to fight anymore about the past."

Charles's office door was closed. Charles sat back in his chair. He pulled out his desk drawer, and looked at a picture of a woman smiling at him.

 

*******************************************

Fara was halfway from the restaurant to Rafael's building when her HP rang. On the HP screen it says Luki Rafael.

"What?" Ask Fara annoyed. Already since five o'clock in the morning, when Fara was still sleeping soundly, Luki disturbed her by asking to cook Menu A to be taken to the Rafael building before office hours began. Luki said she only had free time at that time. After a rush of showering and dressing modestly, Fara went to the restaurant to prepare food on the A menu. When he finished, he put the food in the food box and called a taxi.

Fifteen minutes later, Luki called.

"I forgot to say...," said Luki guiltlessly." I think I fit the B menu better.

Can you bring me a menu B? Menu A is not."

Fara's reaction was to want to slap Luki right then and there, but she knew she couldn't do it. The customer is king. "I'm going back to the restaurant to cook a new menu."

"Thanks" said Luki. "Sorry to trouble you."

Fara's mouth pouted, but the word that came out was, "it's okay. I'll probably be late for your office."

"If it can be no more than eight in the morning" Luki reminded.

Fara hung up her phone in annoyance and said to her taxi driver, "Sir, go back to the restaurant."

 

At 07:58, Fara arrived in front of Luki's office.

"I don't think you'll ever get to it" Luki said as Fara entered her office.

Fara placed the menu package B in front of Luki's desk. "The only explanation is. hmmm. I've never let my customers down."

Luki smiled at Fara's confidence, but soon she would destroy it. "Can you open the food box?"

Fara opened her food box and thrust a fork in front of Luki, half hoping that the fork could puncture the man's heart. But Fara replaced it with a sweet smile. ("Remember, Fara,") he said inwardly, ("he is the customer").

Luki tries to taste Fara's spaghetti, but then puts down the fork. "Ehm. I think I should move to menu A. So you'd better prepare another menu A for tomorrow morning. The same time. Before eight."

Fara looked at Luki calmly. Luki was confused by Fara's gaze on her. "You can get out of my room right now. See you tomorrow."

Fara stood up and took out one by one the food boxes from the bag she was carrying and placed them in front of Luki. There are nine food boxes in total. Fara opened all the boxes and pointed to the leftmost three boxes. "Menu A." Then point to the next three boxes. "Menu C." Lastly he pointed to the three rightmost squares. "Menu D's. You can try all the menus today too."

Luki. He did not expect Fara to be able to prepare all the menus in such a short time.

Fara smiled triumphantly at Luki's silent look. "You've tasted menu B. Have a taste of the other three menus..... I told you, wasn't I a great chef?" Fara took a new fork from her bag and thrust it at Luki. "I don't have much time to prepare groceries for the three hundred employees who are only two days away. If you don't mind, I want you to decide on the menu today."

Luki took a new fork from Fara's hand. This time he admitted defeat to the girl in front of him. After tasting all the menus, Luki decided to choose menu A.

Fara took out a piece of paper. "I want you to sign this paper."

"What's this?" Luki asked while taking the paper from her desk.

"A cooperation agreement between your company and my restaurant. It says you have chosen menu A and will not change your choice again. If you change it the day before the party, your company's gonna take care of all the compensation."

Luki read the agreement. He had already underestimated Fara's ability. This time he lost to a girl. Luki took her balpoin from the table and signed the agreement.

Fara gives one copy to Luki and takes the other for her. "Thank you."

Fara tidied up the food box on Luki's desk and tidied it back into her bag. Before Fara left, Luki said, "i underestimated you too much, didn't I?"

"I don't like your game, Luki," Fara said seriously. "I like my job. I'm not going to play around with my work. I'll see you in two days."

Fara left Luki who was staring at her office door long after that.
