"Even if there was a way to save her life at the expense of the child in her womb, she would definitely refuse. Instead, he would willingly sacrifice his life for the sake of the child. Because a mother must love her child so much."
\*\*\*
In the days that followed, Gallen and Zoya became more and more familiar. They begin to get used to each other's existence and help each other. Even for cleaning the house that should be Zoya's duty, Gallen who is the boss does not mind to help. Alby was no longer surprised to see the change of boss is very drastic. For Zoya, Gallen can even do things that feel impossible for others.
"B-Relance ...." Rintih Zoya's.
Gallen who was sitting on the sofa immediately approached, walking a little dumbstruck to see the girl who was walking slowly towards him.
"You, what's going on?" Ask.
Zoya stared doubtfully at her boss, actually not sure to ask for help. But, he had no other choice, "Anu, can the boss buy me a tampon?"
"Huh?"
Zoya grimaced with pain in her stomach. It was strange that he asked his boss to buy his personal needs, so Zoya again retracted his words earlier, "No, no. I'll buy it myself."
Just a few steps later, Gallen pulled his arm back. Although he himself felt strange about Zoya's request, Gallen could not let the person in pain go alone.
"I'll buy it." Gallen Disconnect.
Without waiting for Zoya's answer, Gallen has left first. Isn't it just buying pads? What should I be afraid of?
And Gallen left with confidence. It's just a small matter for him, so Gallen should be able to solve it. However, what he did not expect, in the end he felt confused as well.
"Hm."
He looked at the row of items in front of him. To think about it however, it seems like this is indeed his fault. Gallen left in a hurry. He didn't even have time to ask what kind of sanitary pad the girl was using. And it turns out that pads have a variety of brands and shapes?
Which one should I buy? I don't know what the difference is!
Some of the people there started whispering. Of course, because it looks funny. An exotic-skinned man, with a sturdy body that is sturdy and sturdy standing in front of a storefront that sells pads? Just be right!
Ah, I just take it for granted!
Gallen then took several different types of pads with different brands and shapes, then put them in a basket. While passing through the refrigerator, Gallen accidentally saw a drink that is usually advertised as a drink that can relieve menstrual pain. Although Zoya did not ask, Gallen also took some bottles of the drink. Maybe Zoya needs him.
And now, Zoya, who was sitting on her bed, laughed out loud at her boss's huge groceries.
"Boss," he called, "Why did you buy this much? It could even be stock for a year." He said again, which was accompanied by laughter. Zoya still holds her aching stomach, but the tickling of her boss's funny behavior makes her unable to hold back a laugh.
"I don't know which one you need. Who told you there were so many brands and shapes like that." The answer.
Zoya picks up a plastic pad and stares at her boss, "It doesn't really matter what the brand and shape is." Answer Zoya. While taking the pads, Zoya realizes something, "Eh, what is this?"
He took out a bottle of water that Gallen had bought. Gallen then scratched his nape which was actually not itchy, began to look for reasons, "It seems like it is often advertised, so I just buy it." Said.
No wonder, a thin smile rises on Zoya's lips. The girl clasped one of the bottles in her hand, then looked at the embarrassed boss.
"Thank you, Boss. You're very considerate of your workers, yeah." Ledek.
Gallen rolled his eyes, looking dejectedly at the girl, "Stupid base. Get well soon!" Said.
Zoya giggles amusedly. Even after half a month of working in this house, Gallen was still easily seduced like this. And Zoya who already knows the nature of his boss is still often teasing him until Gallen continues to feel upset.

Although it is undeniable that Gallen is still occasionally upset by Zoya's absurd behavior, the man is increasingly able to hold back his emotions. Gallen is no longer angry for small things, he is starting to become a good boss for his workers. And that's enough to surprise people because the Gallen change is quite fast.
Gallen picked up the supplies Zoya had prepared. The man raised his stock high, showing that he had not forgotten about it to Zoya who was standing quite far from his position.
Gallen and Zoya seem to be a good fit for each other. Especially, because of Zoya's attitude that is not easily hurt by all the boss's harsh words. The girl seems to have successfully tamed the notoriously fierce Gallen, even managing to get the man who never touched the home-cooked food again to always bring supplies from home. It's pretty amazing, isn't it? Of course, the workers in the office were made very curious about the change, as well as the figure who always made provisions for their bosses so that Gallen who always looked scary suddenly turned softer.
And the rumors continued to spread, to the point where everything turned into a nightmare.

When night comes, Gallen and Zoya will gather in the living room. There is a big TV they can use to watch together. Almost a month since Zoya lived in this place, various kinds of movies they have watched. Understandably, the girl had never known about such films before. Although Zoya had heard his name, she had never actually seen the film until only now did she watch it at the invitation of Gallen.
Currently, they are watching one of the foreign films about the love story of humans and vampires. This is the fourth film in the series. Gallen said the film has five series. There is still one more series for them to watch.
"Aah!" The voice escaped from Zoya's lips. He turned his head to the side, apologizing to Gallen for disturbing his concentration.
"Sorry." His word.
Gallen who had originally turned his head also looked back to the front, "For?"
"Bothering the boss" he said, "When the boss is watching."
Gallen fixed his seat, then replied, "It's okay, I don't forbid you to speak anyway."
Zoya who heard that looked forward again. Right now, the male lead was trying to save the lifeless-looking female lead after giving birth, "Insting a mother to protect her child was really great." Said.
Gallen looked back. Although he said it didn't matter if the girl spoke, but now he was completely uninterested in the show ahead.
"Why do you think that?"
"Hm," the girl smiled, "Although I haven't felt it yet, but a little bit I can feel what the female lead in the film is feeling." Said. He leaned his body comfortably on the back of the sofa.
"Even if there was a way to save her life at the expense of the child in her womb, she would definitely refuse. Instead, he would willingly sacrifice his life for the sake of the child. Because a mother must love her child so much." Zoya stared at the scene from the movie she was watching with great attention.
For a moment, Gallen was silent. He really took a close look at every single word the girl had without being missed. Mind drowning. Those words made him soar in memories decades ago, where someone saved his life at the cost of his own life.
Run away!
"Boss?"
Gallen turned his head, finding the confused Zoya looking at him. The girl asks about what happened, but Gallen replies that she is fine. Although less convincing, of course he could not ask more. Zoya knows very well that she cannot interfere in her boss's affairs.
The only thing the girl thought about, was to distract her boss who was flying somewhere.
"Oh, yes, boss." Call Zoya. Gallen, who felt that his name was called, turned his head, and began to be curious about what the girl was going to talk about.
"Actually I've been feeling this since the previous series, but isn't the male lead both quite similar to the boss? Especially the color of his skin." Zoya.
Even though it was not mentioned clearly, as Alby thought, Zoya was too innocent that any of what she thought could be clearly seen on her face. And even now, Gallen could clearly understand what the girl's true purpose was. It's just that Gallen wants to appreciate Zoya's efforts to cheer her up.
"Hm, but am I not more handsome?" Answer Gallen. Zoya rounded her eyes, surprised by the confidence of her boss. But in just a few seconds, the girl had already understood the meaning of Gallen's words and chuckled lightly.
"Yes, you are handsome." Answer Zoya.
Gallen also smiled while looking forward again, as well as Zoya who occasionally still giggled. After all, they seem to be used to being together.
