..."Bosses like to prank people. Who knows, the boss is just looking for a chance."...
...***...
Zoya looked surprised to the point of glaring at her eyes after hearing that. Although he had expected it before, Zoya remained distraught after hearing a direct answer from Gallen.
"That's ... " The woman stared all over the place, "Boss, sit here!" Zoya asks Gallen to sit on the sofa.
Gallen walked to where Zoya had told him to. He sat down while leaning his body on the soft sofa backrest. Today was quite exhausting. Gallen doesn't even care about his actual sitting position anymore. The important thing is that he can sit down now.
Zoya is picking up the fruit basket she had dropped. But when she saw Gallen sitting, Zoya, who was just watching, came closer and lowered her head in front of the man, helping him sit comfortably. Gallen's heart is pounding. Gallen threw his face to the side, gulping his hard-earned saliva silently. Zoya actually has no other intentions. But the movement of the woman who tried to make him comfortable even looks tempting by him. Damn it, hopefully 'his sister' doesn't wake up because of this.
Alby, who came closer, placed Gallen's bag next to the man, planning to leave immediately.
"I'm sorry then." Pamphitt.
Although Alby is not quite an expert in romance problems, fortunately he is still quite sensitive in seeing the situation around. Especially for moments like this.
Zoya who heard that Alby was going away raised her head, "Sister Alby don't want to sit here?" Bargainly. But the man nodded.
"My car's still in the office. Besides, there are a few things I should talk about with the other employees, so I should get back before they go home." Alby makes an excuse for Zoya to let him go.
Zoya nodded her head. Although she did not understand the workings of the two men in front of her, of course Zoya should not hinder her when going to work, "OK. Next time come by here."
Alby smiled once more, "Surely. Then I'll go first, yeah." Alby lowered his head as a form of respect, "Boss, I'm a farewell." Said.
Gallen raised his right hand and flicked it upwards.
Alby then left the house. After making sure the man came out, Zoya's attention focused completely on the man before her.
"Now can I see you?" Ask Gallen, a little sulking. The woman kept staring at Alby, forgot about him, and didn't care a bit about him.
Zoya squinted her eyes, "This is really broken?" Ask again. Gallen could have just boasted, when in fact he was not sick at all.
"Same of course -- Akh!"
Zoya patted the man's arm slowly.
"You're gonna break my hand, huh?!"
Zoya grimaced hearing that. Because it was less convincing, he did a little examination on the man. It seems like hitting is a bit outrageous, but he's not hitting too hard. At least Zoya was sure the man wasn't lying because Gallen was really in pain when he hit his hand slowly.
"Once the boss likes to prank people. Who knows boss is just looking for a chance." His word.
Honestly, it's actually true. But Gallen would still feel pain if the woman hit his arm because the arm was sprained.
"I'm not pretending to be sick." Gallen reiterated his condition. Zoya nodded her head hearing that.
"Yes-yes, believe it."
Gallen smiled slightly, a little happy to hear that.
Zoya who saw the fruit basket she put earlier then took an orange, peeled and cleaned the orange fruit clean, "So I stopped by the fruit shop and bought some. Oranges are so sweet. Try." Zoya feeds one part of the orange to Gallen.
Gallen ate the orange. Sweet. Moreover, he was fed directly by Zoya. Ah, looks like Gallen's going to have diabetes.
"Sweet, right?" Zoya smiled at him.
Gallen nodded and opened his mouth again, "Aaa."
He asks Zoya to bribe him again.
Zoya complied and fed him one more piece of orange, "Actually it's the Boss's broken left hand, Boss can eat alone without having to be fed."
Gallen just kept chewing on the orange, not feeling guilty at all. Zoya who saw that just smiled and shook her head, she would give up this time because of the man's terrible condition.
"Oh, yes," Zoya feeds Gallen another piece of orange, "It turns out that the friend I've been calling can't take my call because the phone is being fixed after it falls into the water. When I dropped Noah off, I talked to him."
Gallen was still busy chewing the orange in his mouth.
"Continue?"
Zoya takes one more piece of oranges to give to Gallen, but the man seems to still be busy with the oranges in his mouth.
"I told him our condition. And Winona said we could stay at her house if we wanted to."
"Ohuk!"
Zoya immediately put the orange in her hand on the table. Deftly, the woman's hand grabbed a pitcher of water and a glass at the table and poured it for Gallen.
"Drink first."
Gallen drinks the water from the glass Zoya gave him, draining it to the toilet. The man looked silent after, before finally exploding back.
"You're going?!"
Zoya was surprised, but eventually nodded.
Gallen looked at his hand, then looked at Zoya in annoyance, "You're going to leave me while it's like this?"
Zoya scratched her temple, "I didn't know that the boss would come home in this condition." Said.
"Now you know, but you're still going?"
Zoya swallowed her saliva. Loh, how, Gallen even like this again, anyway? She even used her condition to hold Zoya away.
"Boss, how is this boss again?"
Gallen looked at Zoya with an annoyed face. Hearing the woman speak thus, Gallen rested his body on the chair in a tilted state.
"Go, it's okay."
Zoya is shocked to hear Gallen's approval.
"Really, Boss? Boss ain't nothing?" Zoya wanted to confirm it once again. Do not let the man suddenly tell him to go home when he just arrived at Winona's house.
"Yes, just go." Said.
Zoya smiled brightly hearing that.
"Huh, finally the Boss understood too. I -- - "
"Nobody cares about me anyway." Gallen interrupted Zoya's words, "My parents died when I was five years old, my grandfather who took care of me died when I was just starting to work at the company." Gallen began to talk long, showing his suffering.
"Anu, Boss -- - "
"Uncle Basman also always scolded me even when I did nothing wrong. Aunt Pamela who always defended me is also more busy taking care of her family now. I don't have any friends, even a cat would bite me if I approached." Gallen let out a long sigh, "Let it be, it may be my own destiny." Further.
Zoya's forehead is wrinkled. Gosh, Gallen must have done this on purpose, right? He must have deliberately told Zoya all of his suffering to endure it, right?
"OK-okay." Zoya finally relented. Already expected, he would always be if from the man, "I won't go." Disconnecting. Who is the one who will leave after hearing that? Zoya believes Gallen said that to insinuate her.
Gallen. With his face paled, the exotic-skinned man looked at Zoya who was also looking at him, "Seriously?"
Zoya nodded.
Gallen smiled knowing the choice the woman made. Already she guessed, Zoya would definitely not have the heart to leave her injured, "Thank you, you're all I have."
*You're all I have
You're all I have
You're the only one I have*
Zoya glared her eyes at those words. Only heard it once and the sentence immediately flashed continuously in his head. Zoya covered her ears. Ah, can't.
That sentence was too heavy for him!
***
"Hello, Win."
After deciding not to leave, a
one thing Zoya has to do is tell her friends about it. It may be that Winona is already preparing to wait for his arrival, but Zoya is forced to delay it at least until Gallen's condition improves.
"I'm telling you that I haven't been able to move into your house for quite some time."
Winona sounded surprised. The woman asks why, worried that something is holding Zoya back.
"Ah, I'm fine. But it just so happened that the kind-hearted homeowner I told you about this morning was sick, so I had to take care of her until she recovered."
Winona understands Zoya's condition. It was only natural that the woman would act like that since Zoya was a person who knew very well how to return the favor. He told her that the door of his house would always be open to the woman.
"Thank you."
The phone connection was broken after Winona answered. Zoya puts her phone in her pocket, when suddenly Gallen's voice is heard calling her.
"Zoya!"
Feeling wanted, Zoya then exits her room. Gallen may need help. Zoya searches for Gallen and eventually finds him. In the living room, Gallen had partially unbuttoned his shirt until his teasing chest came into view.
"Dear, Boss!" Zoya closed her eyes, surprised.
Gallen looked at her appearance once more, knowing what the woman was fretting about but still not wanting to back down.
"I want to take a shower. Please help me take off this shirt." Said.
With both hands still closed, Zoya then stretched her fingers until she could see Gallen.
"Help take off the Boss' shirt?"
