The London One Night Stand

Chapter 23

By morning, Boy was ready to go to the office. He eventually accepts Darren's offer to ask him to work in Jean's office.

Not without reason, it was also because Clara all night asked Boy to accept it rather than he had to work in a cafe owned by his best friend.

"Pack this tie," Boy orders Clara.

Clara grunted angrily, because early in the morning she was forced to get up by Boy to prepare breakfast and also bathe him.

"You see, I don't approve and let him work in that shabby cafe" grumbled Clara.

The boy who heard it could only shake. Until whenever it turns out the woman in front of him will never change.

"Wear the right one, can't you?!"

"Yes, of course I can" replied Clara with a bent face. "Can you just duck a little! You're so tall like an electric pole." again Clara nagged and maybe this will become her routine now.

Finished wearing a tie, Boy immediately carried Clara without her consent, making Clara scream in shock.

"Down me, Boy!"

"Shut up and don't be noisy. I could be late on my first day at work because of you!"

It's true, time shows almost seven o'clock in the morning. And Boy is still home.

"Buap me." pinta Boy while buttoning his sleeve.

"What?"

"Fred Clara! Your hearing is normal, isn't it. So I don't want to repeat the sentence a second time. Hurry up or I'll bemph-" unfinished Boy talk, Clara's already silenced the man's lips. He put a spoonful of fried rice in his mouth.

Boy glared sharply, whereas Clara just smiled mockingly looking at him.

"Uhuk..asin once." murmured Boy in the heart.

Pfth!

Clara held back the laughter desperately looking at Boy's face which seemed to be holding something back. He knew he could not cook at all. Then why did he tell her to do that.

"How does it feel, my husband?" clara asked slightly pressing her words.

Boy had to swallow it, knowing that Clara could not cook all this time. However, he had to ask the woman to do it so that Clara learned to be a wife.

"Very delicious. Thank you my wife." said Boy flatly and then moved from his seat.

Clara thought Boy would get angry and invite her to a fight and ask her to separate. Too bad, the guess was wrong.

"I'm going home fast so don't go anywhere, '" Boy kissed Clara's forehead before actually leaving.

"Haish!My plan failed today, but look at it tomorrow. I'll make sure you ask me to leave you!" a sly grin was engraved on Clara's lips.

"Welcome Mr. Boy. Hopefully we can work together as long as you're here" said Nayla who is none other than Jean's secretary of trust.

"This is your office, if you need anything can call me." Nayla showed me what Boy had to do and what he didn't.

"I get it, then what's my schedule today" asked Boy. The man took off his shirt and sat down.

"There are some files that you need to learn and sign. Please read it. Then at eleven there was a meeting with the owner of Anderson's company."

Boy stopped his hand from hearing Anderson's name. "Continue."

"Miss Alice Anderson has been downstairs since fifteen minutes ago." Nayla continued her sentence.

Boy took a long breath. He thought that after ending their relationship a few days ago, the woman would stop chasing him.

"Send him in."

Nayla nodded. "I'm sorry, sir."

Not long after, there was a knock on the door that made Boy stop his activities.

The man looked up along with the door that opened, entered a woman in sexy clothes and showed almost all the curves of her body.

"During the day, baby." Alice smiled and immediately sat on Boy's lap.

"Alice, this is the office. Can you be polite when-" Boy's speech stopped when Alice silenced him with her index finger.

"That night you left me, and now you're kicking me out. Don't I mean anything to you anymore, Boy!"

Suddenly Boy was silent to see the woman he still loved so much crying with his body shaking. Just this time Alice showed her frail side.

"I'm sorry" Boy wiped Alice's tears and hugged her.

Really, he did not intend to hurt the gentle-hearted woman. But, Boy also did not want to renege on the sacred promise of marriage that he had said. His position is going awry at the moment.

"I'll wait for you, until you get divorced. All that time, I want you to prioritize me over that woman."

Boy nodded, however Alice was the only woman in his heart at the moment. Seeing her cry, made her heart break.

Alice rubbed Boy's lips gently, then brought his face closer to the man. There is no distance between the two.

"Boy, I want to ask your permission to-"

The Boy reflex pushes Alice until the woman falls to the floor.

"Boy!" screeches Alice.

"I'm sorry, sir. I told Madam that you have an important guest." Nayla looks down, feeling guilty for letting Clara in without her permission.

"Ck! Looks like next time I don't have to come here. It's just right you didn't take the call from me. It's so funny." Clara shook her head slowly and stepped out from there.

"How dare you step out, I'll never forgive you, Boy!" shouted Alice.

Boy stopped and turned around to help Alice stand up. "I'm sorry."
