The Side Away

Critically

The client that Gino was handling this time was not a chatty woman like Jean. However, a young mother who has a daughter and unlucky Gino is asked to look after the child. At a children's clothing store owned by his client, Gino almost refused the request if he did not hear his cell phone ring and his boss vented his anger from across the street. Asking Gino to take the case is because the young mother who became his client is the daughter of a big businessman. Not wanting to be considered insane, Gino finally accepted the request. Although looking after a five-year-old was not her forte and the misfortune was not over, when the child pointed to the floor right where her feet rested.

The pool of water made Gino fixated, not real water but came from the girl standing in front of him. Five minutes passed Gino still stared not knowing what to do other than look at the terrible scene. If the client is rich, he should have a nanny to look after his daughter. It's not about putting it on a stranger and Gino's not a nanny.

"Papa."

Luckily the father of the boy had returned so Gino did not have to bother changing diapers. After making sure the man was really the real father of the child. Gino says goodbye and decides to fill his stomach before returning to the company. He saw a fast food restaurant not far from the clothing store. Gino deliberately left his car in the apartment and boarded public transport to reduce pollution. The exact reason, reluctant to drive on snow-filled roads.

There was only one visitor when Gino entered the restaurant. A familiar silhouette as the woman turned around, Gino could not control her heartbeat realizing Laura was there. There was still some annoyance given the conversation in his car and also the expression of Laura who thought of him as a bad person. Gino stopped ordering food and stepped out of the restaurant. For now he doesn't want to meet Laura before the girl solves her problems with Mario.

The cold air caused Gino to shiver while waiting for a public transport that would bring him back to the company. He frowned as a car stopped in front of him. The latest Mercedes Benz is striking color that does not belong to David. He did not remember the man had a car other than his Ferrari that was forcibly seized.

"Fuck, get in before you freeze to death there!"

Apparently Lucy, as a conglomerate daughter just naturally ride a Mercedes Benz class car.

"No need." reject Gino quickly.

In any case, Gino is forced to follow Lucy's wishes and sit in the passenger seat ignoring a series of swear sentences because he considers the woman as a driver. Her ears are almost deaf to Lucy's incessant babbling, much like Jean's. Mothers and children have something in common, genes do not lie.

"Have you?" gino asked after the woman did not speak anymore.

"Lala was disappointed that I kept the secret of Mario and Mika's relationship. He never said his heart and I was hurt to see him like that. Maybe you can persuade him to forget about this. Lala deserves to be happy and I know she's happy when she's with you. His attitude was different when he was next to you, I've known him for five years and that attitude was never shown to Mario. I know Lala loves you and you love her too, I'm not stupid to see such an obvious thing. Gino, I need you to meet him and apologize. Either way you helped Mika keep that secret."

Gino seemed to think. "Laura likes your sister, it has nothing to do with me."

"You're not Jason who lets his loved ones be with other people" Lucy said softly.

"Your business I don't interfere, I also have my own problems, take me to the company before my boss gets angry."

"Do you want to see him kill himself?" ask Lucy.
