The Love After Agreement

Chapter 21

After their chat last night, this morning Filia's attitude had returned to normal, even she helped Gryson prepare breakfast for the two of them without any awkwardness. Gryson was also grateful, now his wife was no longer indifferent and more warm to him. Philia also received well the attention he showed her.

"Mas, can I come work with you?" philia asked as they sat down to have breakfast together, and she was tired of having to stay home alone.

Hearing the wife's request, Gryson frowned. He thought that Filia was not a hardworking girl, so hesitated to ask her. But if he refuses, Gryson fears Filia will be offended.

"Are you sure you want to work? I mean, have you ever worked before?"

Filia was silent, she had never worked at all. All this time his life was borne by his father, but now he wants to be independent, he wants to show his parents, if he can also be like Bellina who can live independently.

"I've never worked anywhere, Mom," replied Filia slowly, looking down and playing the finger that was on her lap.

Gryson nodded in understanding. "All right, you can come with me. Later I will ask Anthoni to put you in my assistant's section" he replied.

"No, Mas. I don't want to be your assistant" Filia refused.

"Why?" ask Gryson in wonder. Usually if the person offered an easy job, will immediately agree to it. Why would his wife not?

"I want to start from the bottom, Mom. I don't want to rush, I don't have any experience anyway" Filia replied explaining her wish.

"Oh, I guess you don't want to be with me all the time." Gryson spoke half a whisper so that Philia would not hear him too much.

"Did I say something?" ask Filia. She was curious about what her husband said just now.

Gryson shook his head slowly, of course he was embarrassed to say it in person. Although he wished that Filia would be his assistant, he did not want to impose his own will.

"At least I can still see it all day even if only from a distance" he murmured inwardly.

"All right, it's up to you, the important thing is that you're comfortable" replied Gryson.

"Thank you, Mum." Filia smiled happily as her husband allowed her to come to work.

"Together, Lia."

They finished their breakfast and immediately prepared to go to the restaurant together. As long as Filia's journey never ceaselessly developed a smile, she was happy and nervous because she had not interacted with many people for a few days.

"Sounds like you're so happy, Lia?" asked Gryson who had seen Filia smiling from the tail of her eyes.

"Yes, Mas. I'm so nervous, it's the first time I'm going to work. I hope I don't make trouble at your restaurant later" Filia said.

Gryson smiled as he shook his head slowly, how could his mother think ill of his wife so innocently.

"Why are you laughing at me?" philia asked when she realized that Gryson was laughing.

"I'm not laughing at you, Lia. Don't get me wrong like that" Gryson said, wiping his wife's head off.

"really? What if I don't believe it?" ask Filia.

"Of course you should start trusting me" Gryson replied with a smile and winked one eye.

Seeing Gryson being so sweet, made Filia misbehave. Enraptured by her husband, she casts her gaze in another direction so that Gryson does not see her red face.

"Ti–no. Ta–tadi I saw something interesting at the end of the road there," Filia replied stammeringly as a result of being too nervous.

Gryson smiled, knowing that his wife was nervous, but he did not know the cause. Soon, the car they were riding in arrived at the restaurant. Before Gryson went down, Philia held the man's hand and made him look at Philia in surprise.

"Is there anything that makes you doubt?" ask Gryson.

Before Filia spoke, the girl seemed hesitant to convey her heart.

"What's wrong?" gryson asked again when Filia did not speak.

"Promise not to be angry with me, if I have said so." Filia spoke while pointing her hand at her husband.

Gryson nodded slowly, though he did not understand the intention of his wife's words. "Say!"

"I want our wedding to go unnoticed by your restaurant employees, can it?" asked Filia doubtfully.

"Reason?"

Philia took a deep breath before she answered him.

"I just don't want them to be nice to me knowing that I'm your wife."

"Why? I mean, wouldn't it be nice if they found out about it, so they can keep their courtesy towards you?" gryson asked, he did not understand the way his wife thought.

"I know, but I don't want them to be forced to be nice to me just because of that" Filia replied, looking down. She just wants to have a sincere friend to her, without having to care about her status as the wife of a company owner where they work.

hearing his wife's explanation, Gryson went silent again. Intentions he had wanted to show off to his employees about the wife, he had to ponder now.

"You shouldn't have such thoughts, I'm sure the employees here are all well, so you don't have to be afraid and worried" Gryson said to calm Filia down.

Filia nodded again. "If they're good, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"All right, I'll obey" said Gryson, who succumbed to his wife.

After they agreed to hide their status, they both got off the car in turns. Even as she headed for the entrance, Filia preferred to walk behind her.

As always, Gryson will hold a briefing first before they start their work. At that time, Gryson introduced Filia as one of the employees who will work there.

Filia chose to be a servant there, whereas before Gryson would put her in the supervisor, but she refused. So, this is where it is now precisely in a special locker that is provided for the waiters.

"Hi ...! New kid, huh? Meet me, my name is Julian" said one of the men who invited Filia to meet.

"Greetings, I am Filia. Just call Lia. It is good to be acquainted with you, please direct her," replied Filia, bowing slightly.

She tries to keep her distance from other men, as she also values Gryson as her husband. There were not only the two of them, but still he also had to have his own rules.

After she finished storing her belongings, Filia immediately went from there to return to the supervisor who would direct her first job.
