Twins Genius: Two CEOs

Time to say goodbye

...***...

"…I have to let go of everything and leave it." Connect in a slow tone. "Time goes by so fast, even too fast. Though I just felt comfortable, but I just started to get close to the people and the new environment here. There are still many things I want to learn about cooking from Bertha, there are still many French lessons I want to spend with Cammy, I am still not satisfied spending my time shopping with Giza, she said, and I was also still not satisfied to prank Adrien with my lousy golf game, haha.." Aphrodite chuckled softly at the end of her sentence. Every time he remembered Adrien, he remembered how bad his golf was.

"You're still not satisfied with Adrien?" Francisco chuckled at the words of Aphrodite, making his wife look up at him.

"uh? That's not what I mean." Aphrodite's face met, she became ashamed of her own words. He chuckled to cover up his embarrassment.

"It turns out my wife is quite enjoying Adrien as her toy huh, haha…"

"Ah, stop. Don't talk about this anymore." Aphrodite tried to make Francisco stop laughing at her.

"Haha, okay-okay. I'll stop" he said, then stopping his chuckle. "Then how about we go down now?" Francisco switched the conversation.

"All right, come on" said Aphrodite, nodding her head. Francisco then stepped with one hand holding Aphrodite's hand, waltzing down the stairs to get to the lower floor where Bertha and the maid and other servants were waiting for them to say goodbye. Meanwhile, the, the two suitcases were put in the car by Adrien's help, who was ready to take them to Charles de Gaulle airport, which would take them back to Indonesia, their birthplace.

Arriving downstairs, they were greeted with several maids and servants who were now standing near the stairs, welcoming them with a smile that looked bland. It was obvious that they were trying to hide their sadness.

Aphrodite stopped her footsteps along with Francisco as soon as they arrived below. There her focus shifted to Bertha who stood closest to the stairs. The middle-aged woman smiled towards them, her eyes glazed over with her tears. Meanwhile, beside him. Cammy and Giza are both with their hands now squeezing hard the handkerchief in their hands.

"We will miss you so much" Bertha said, staring at Francisco and Aphrodite in turn.

"We will miss you all too much" said Francisco, smiling warmly at him.

"Can't you stay here longer?" Bertha looked expectantly.

"We really have to go" Francisco said. Bertha lowered her head, while Aphrodite walked over to Bertha. He gave her a hug for the last time.

"Merci pour toutes les lecons que vous m'avez apprises," whispered Aphrodite softly in Bertha's ear, whose face was now inundated with tears streaming down her cheeks. Decorate her face filled with wrinkles with tears.

(Merci pour toutes les lecons que vous m'avez apprises./ Thank you for all the lessons you taught me.)

"Oui, mademoiselle," Bertha said slowly. Bertha broke her arms with Aphrodite and looked at Aphrodite's two clingy eyes, Bertha's eyes still glazed over but her lips there insisted on a smile on her face.

(Oui, mademoiselle/yes, miss)

"It's good to hear you won't forget all the lessons I've given you, because that means you'll never forget me."

"Yes." Yeah." Aphrodite flashed her smile. Aphrodite's focus shifted to Giza and Cammy who had since looked at her with teary eyes trying to hold back their cries.

Aphrodite stretched out her arms and tightly embraced the bodies of the two women she had considered her best friend. The cries of Giza and Cammy can no longer be contained. They both cried as soon as they hugged Aphrodite, especially when they remembered that this was the last hug they would feel. This would also be their last meeting with Aphrodite.

"Thank you for all guys," Aphrodite muttered right in her second ear.

"Your welcome, Mrs," said Giza and Cammy. The two spoke softly while rubbing the corners of their eyes that began to shed tears at each end of their eyes.

"I will miss you so much, Mrs." Giza muttered in her ear.

"Yeah, I too.." Cammy chimed in.

"I know" said Aphrodite, rubbing her back. Trying to calm those who keep crying. Aphrodite then broke her arms with Cammy and Giza, staring at the two clingyly. His hands stretched out, wiping away the tears flowing in both corners of Cammy and Giza's face.

"Please, don't forget me" said Giza.

"I will never forget you guys." Aphrodite flashed her smile, trying to cover up the tightness in her chest as she had to part with the two people who had helped her a lot and accompanied her during her stay in Paris. Not only that, but both of them have also taught many things that he has never learned before.

"We too. we will never forget you, Mrs." Cammy replied and Giza nodded her head confirming Cammy's remark beside her.

"Alright, then I have to go now" Aphrodite said. He then glanced at Francisco who had been faithful waiting for him to finish all his affairs with Bertha, Cammy, Giza, and other maids and servants. After finishing his farewell with them, Aphrodite and Francisco then left the mansion. Leaving Bertha and her other colleagues standing by the fountain weeping as they watched Aphrodite and Francisco leave in a car driven by Adrien that would take them to the airport. Aphrodite could not help but look back, especially looking up at Giza and Cammy. There are so many things that the three of them have been through.

Aphrodite remembered her first encounter with Giza which seemed ridiculous, so she remembered how they could be close to each other. So did the first time how he got close to Cammy the first time she made such a nice dish for him. The first dish Cammy made that she will never forget forever.

The car driven by Adrien got further out of the mansion, speeding through the gate guarded by the guards there.

Francisco, sitting next to her, grabbed her hand to make her a little calmer.
