Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 10
Jericho takes Olivia to eat at a restaurant that provides oriental food, due to a request from Jonah who wants to eat noodles with meat sauce.
Olivia, who had been a nanny for her neighbor's children when she was in school, certainly had no trouble helping take care of Jonah.
Moreover, Jonah is an obedient child, and Olivia only needs to help teach Jonah to eat using chopsticks, because Jonah wants her to be able to use the cutlery herself later.
That way, Jonah's nanny who had followed with a separate vehicle, can also sit down to lunch quietly with them.
After everything was done enjoying his lunch, Jonah was then escorted home first, with his caregiver and personal driver.
While Olivia, will be escorted by Jericho, to return to her apartment.
"Do you want to take a walk with me for a minute?" jericho asked, as he and Olivia were already in his car, and prepared to leave the restaurant's parking lot.
"Hm ... Okay!" sahut Olivia's. "Where are we going?"
"Where are you going? Is there a place you want to go?" Jericho asked back.
"Hm ... I don't know, sir," replied Olivia.
Jericho just stared at Olivia for a moment, and made no comment, then he started driving down the highway.
"Oh, yes! I forgot to ask, what about Sir Andersen? Is Sir Andersen not allowed to go home yet?"
Olivia suddenly thought that Johan might want Jericho to accompany her in the hospital.
Jericho looked at Olivia, but she looked straight back at the street, and did not immediately answer Olivia's question.
"I don't know if you realize it or not. But, actually me and my daddy aren't too close. For too long, we were both busy with our activities" Jericho said suddenly.
"I'm sorry, sir," said Olivia, who felt as if she had spoken wrongly.
"There's no need to apologize, it's not your fault....
... Since my mommy died, my daddy has spent more time doing his job" Jericho said slowly.
Olivia turned to her side, and looked at Jericho who seemed to still look calm, while talking about how the interaction between her and Johan was.
"We don't love each other. It's just that we both almost lost the moment, as is the relationship between a daddy and his son in general....
... I don't blame him. I understand what it's like, if suddenly, to part from someone who's always been there. Because I'm also doing the same thing as my daddy" Jericho continued.
Olivia understood what Jericho was talking about right now, because she had experienced something similar.
Olivia could feel, if her mommy seemed to keep her distance from her, when daddy from Olivia suddenly died.
But fortunately, not until a year later after the departure of daddy Olivia, her mommy seemed to return to try to keep having time for Olivia.
At that time, the mother of Olivia, finally looks back to herself again, who has a cheerful and warm personality for Olivia.
Even the relationship between Olivia and her mommy is getting closer than ever, until her mommy breathes her last.
"I'm sorry, Sir ... I don't want to be pretentious. But in my opinion, you should not do that to jonah," said Olivia.
"It's not fair that Jonah should feel, as you do" Olivia said cautiously.
"Yes. I've thought about it many times" Jericho said softly. "But I too can forget, and re-occupy myself with work."
Olivia knew that each person must have different abilities, to get through difficult times.
"It's nice when I see Jonah who can be close to you. In fact, he looks like he's not his usual self, when he's with you" Jericho said with a smile.
"Do you really like children? Or have you ever worked as a nanny?" jericho.
"I love children, and I've also been a babysitter to our neighbors, for the sake of extra allowance" replied Olivia lightly.
"just fine. You seem patient when you're with Jonah. Maybe he also realized, how you like children like him. Until he can behave that way in front of you."
Seeing Jericho who seemed as if he could not stop smiling, when talking about Jonah, Olivia realized that Jericho loved her son very much.
But in doing so, Olivia also became curious, why Jericho and his wife had to divorce, to sacrifice an adorable child like Jonah.
Even so, Olivia refrained from finding out the cause of Jericho's divorce, because it felt inappropriate, if Olivia was too curious about the Director's personal affairs.
Jericho then slowed down his car, stopped at the parking lot, in a city park, and took Olivia for a walk with him there.
The place is overgrown with many large trees, making the place still feel cool and comfortable, even though the sun is still high.
A pond in the middle of the park filled with some wild geese and ducks, adds to the beauty of the place, and can refresh the mind from the fatigue of the busy city.
There looks quite crowded, with many people who seem to enjoy the beauty of the place.
Both are seen only alone, both together and in groups such as lovers or friends, or maybe one family who picnic, spend their weekend off.
After walking slowly for some time, Jericho invites Olivia to sit on the grass, under one of the large trees facing directly to the pond.
Bending their knees slightly, they sat next to each other, and looked at the pool in front of them.
"Is there something you want?" ask Jericho.
"Ugh ...? What do you mean, sir?" Olivia, who did not understand the direction of Jericho's conversation, finally just asked back.
"Jonah gave you a scarf. I want to do the same. I want to give you something you want" Jericho said.
"Ooh ...! No need, Sir ... The gift from Jonah was more than enough, and he shouldn't have to spend his allowance, just to buy me something" Olivia said.
"How old is Jonah, sir?" olivia hurry up.
"Next week, he's three years old" Jericho replied.
"really? ... Then I've mistaken it. I think she's four or five years old" Olivia said in disbelief.
"His height indeed exceeds that of children his age" Jericho said.
"That's not all, Sir ... In my opinion, the style and manner of speech that actually makes it look more mature," said Olivia, smiling considering Jonah's funny behavior.
"You admire my daddy. Even Jonah gets more attention from you. Then what about me? Is there nothing admirable about me?"
Hearing that question from Jericho, made Olivia turn to her side, and look at Jericho who was looking at her with a smile.
"Sir ...! You must be kidding, right?! You don't need a compliment from me. Because you must have known, if you become an idol in the office," said Olivia.
"Pffhtt ...! Did ya? But, I never heard of it." Jericho seemed to be laughing. "It's exactly what I feel, as if my employees even seem to feel scared when they see me."
"Hm ... You in the office never smile. Who wouldn't be afraid then?" sahut Olivia joking.
"Haha ...!" Jericho seemed to laugh with satisfaction, so Olivia laughed with him.
