Calvin looked seriously at his mother, there was a tinge of sadness because she had failed in her relationship. However, it did not make him dissolve in sadness, at least there was a woman beside him who was ready to comfort him. Who else if not Zhi.
“Ma, where might I lie. Wh-wh-what for? After all Mama also knows how I feel about Gracella, right.”
Eryn—mama was silent when she heard Calvin's words, she was also concerned because her son had a failure. The middle-aged woman was silent for a moment, then said, “Calvin, Mama trusts you, but do you have any evidence that can make mama more sure?”
“Serious Mama wants to see? I'm sure Mama wouldn't have expected.” Calvin moved up and sat down beside Eryn. He pulled out his phone, and opened his gallery. One by one he shifted the photo, and showed the woman beside him who was in focus.
Eryn shut his mouth in disbelief as a photo was clearly drawn on Calvin's phone screen. The woman who was hugging a man looked very friendly. In addition, Calvin enlarged the woman's face which was none other than Gracella.
Again, and again. Not just one, Calvin continued to shift one by one the photo. Showing a friendly walking Gracella entering a luxury hotel.
Zhi stared, since he had been silent on the sofa without knowing what he should do. The woman was like watching the drama of a child and mother in front of her. For him, it was very boring, if he could he would have just disappeared by now.
“Ah, come on, darling. Don't be sad anymore, yeah. Mama will find the best woman for you. Many mama friends have beautiful children, and make no mistake, they mostly have their own business. So, you need not worry,” explained Eryn while stroking Calvin's shoulder.
“Ma, please don't think about setting me up now. I'm not interested at all,” Calvin. The man stood up and sat down near Zhi again. Accidentally, as he sat down, a second later Calvin's ears caught Zhi's stomach sounding quite loud. Yeah, that woman's been holding back her hunger ever since.
“Zhi, you? Sorry, I forgot your meal,” Calvin said softly whispering in Zhi's ear. The woman put on a smile of pretence.
“Quick, when are you going to feed me? My stomach has been rumbling since earlier,” grumbled Zhi.
“Ehem!” Eryn cleared his throat seeing Calvin and Zhi whispering to each other. Zhi immediately smiled kindly at Eryn and slightly nodded his head.
“Ma. Mama bring no food?”
“Ah yes, bring dong, dear. You must miss mama's cooking, right?”
“Iya, Ma, of course. My stomach is also very hungry.”
“Yes already, we should eat first Mama has prepared at the dining table.
“Papa, no eating, Ma?” calvin asked as he put his foot on the dinner table and took Zhi.
They also enjoyed their lunch. Initially Zhi was confused as to which one to eat, it was fortunate that he had a great mind. So he knows which one fits and which one doesn't.
Calvin was worried about how to eat Zhivanna, because the last time he ate at a restaurant, Zhi ate greedily. Calvin was a little scary about it, so he kept watching Zhi, thinking that Zhi would not do anything embarrassing and could not keep up with her attitude.
However, Zhivanna is smart. His mind was always focused on Calvin. The woman knows what she has to do. Although he was very hungry, he tried not to eat much and only as necessary. After all, he thought that the middle-aged woman in front of him would also go home, so he could return to eating as much.
A few minutes passed, finished eating, the three of them returned to the lounge just chatting. However, Eryn asked Zhi too much.
"Whose name were you?" eryn asked, his face flat did not reveal any liking or resentment.
"Zhivanna," Zhi replied briefly.
"Where do you live? And since when was Calvin's secretary?" Zhi immediately glanced towards Calvin. Zhi never answered him, he just cleared his throat, Calvin immediately replied when Zhi's glance led to him.
"Zhi's been with Calvin for a few days, Ma. He came from out of town" explains Calvin, his tone relaxed even though he was a little nervous.
"You know where Calvin's in the vacancy, you know where he's from?"
Zhi was silent, this time his chaotic mind could not focus on Calvin's pafa. The man was also unable to think clearly. Too confused looking for excuses and answers that he will throw so that his mother does not suspect.
"Sorry, it looks like Zhi is having a sore throat. That's why he has been silent since. Maybe he needs a break, Calvin's going to the room first, Ma?" calvin said, nodding at Zhi, telling her to go with him.
Eryn stared at the oddity at them, he suspected that something was hidden. However, Eryn just kept quiet and wondered for himself. The curiosity grew even higher when he saw Zhi who was so beautiful, even her beauty defeated him when young.
"Calvin! Quick back. Don't be long, "Eryn said as Calvin walked up the stairs to take Zhi.
