Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 16
Apparently, Johan did not want to linger to let Olivia feel wronged, until he immediately switched their conversation.
"Don't you mind if I ask a lot about you? I really want to get to know you better" Johan said.
Olivia delays to answer Johan, due to the arrival of a waiter serving appetizers, to their table.
"Please, Sir! Doesn't matter. What do you want to ask?" sahut Olivia's.
"How's your daddy doing?" ask Johan.
"Daddy is dead, sir," replied Olivia.
"Oh, my! ... I'm sorry, Olivia, " said Johan.
"It's okay, Sir ... Daddy's been dead since I was twelve" Olivia said.
Johan then seemed to sip a little wine from inside his glass, then said,
"When your mommy quit her job, she moved to town xxx. At that time, I advised him to work at the branch office that was there....
... But, I didn't hear anything about him anymore. Does he still have time to work?"
"Know I don't, Sir ... According to the story mommy and daddy, since moving there and married with daddy, mommy does not work office anymore....
... Until daddy died, then mommy back to work, in a coffee shop." Olivia explained, while putting the wine glass, the liquid had just been wiped a little.
"Please eat!" said Johan.
"Thank you, sir!" olivia said, then began to enjoy the meal with Johan.
"Did your mommy remarry after your daddy died?" Johan seemed to take advantage of his opportunity, to really find out, about whatever came to his mind.
"No. Mommy stays alone, until she dies" Olivia replied quietly.
Johan then seemed silent for a while, with a slightly downcast look in his eyes, as if he was thinking of something.
"What about your school? Where did you go to college?" johan asked as she raised her gaze again, and looked towards Olivia.
"I went to university xxx" replied Olivia.
Johan looked widened his eyes, looked at Olivia fixedly, then smiled broadly, but he said nothing.
"What's up, sir?" olivia asked after a while, and Johan still did not say anything.
"It's okay" Johan said, then fed a little.
"What I do know is that the standard of the ability to enter the university is very high. If you get to go to college there, you are a smart person...
... But the cost of studying at that place is also high. I don't know what kind of struggle you're going through, and it doesn't feel right to ask about it....
... To be sure, when I see you now, to be honest, I really feel amazed at you, and your late parents," continued Johan, staring fixedly at Olivia.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir," said Olivia.

While enjoying her dinner, Johan still occasionally asks about how Olivia works in the office.
And Olivia answered honestly, about what she felt at work, which she considered a good job and worth the struggle, until it was acceptable to work at Johan's company.
Johan had asked if Olivia wanted to be promoted for a promotion, even had offered a job position that worked directly to him.
"If you want to be my assistant, then you can just tell me directly," Johan said.
But Olivia did not want to burden Johan.
Just like Jericho, Johan also said that the test will be done fairly, without any intervention from certain parties, so if Olivia is able, then Olivia can get the position.
Until the two of them finish their dinner, Olivia and Johan can have a casual conversation, as if Olivia and Johan have known each other for a long time.
And if Olivia can be honest, she feels good, and enjoys her time with Johan at the restaurant.
Because Johan's generous smile, and his calm manner of speaking, made Olivia feel comfortable to interact with him.
Olivia almost forgot, that Johan was far adrift in age compared to him, and plus Johan is the CEO at his place of work.
At first glance Olivia's assessment, if comparing between Jericho and Johan, the two bosses are both have a pleasant personality, to be his interlocutor.

One of the waitresses, then approached Olivia and Johan's table, which had been tidied up from dirty old cutlery.
"Excuse me, Sir! ... Madame! ... Have you decided, what dessert do you want, sir? ... Madame?" ask the waiter.
"Es chocolate cream, one!" johan said her order to the waiter, then looked towards Olivia. "What do you want?"
"Same with you, sir ... Chocolate-flavored ice cream" Olivia said.
Johan looked puzzled at Olivia, but he immediately turned his gaze, and looked back at the servant. "Two chocolate ice cream!"
"Good, Sir! ... Madame! ... Excuse me!" The waiter then passed away, having recorded Johan and Olivia's order.
"Do you really like chocolate ice cream? You can order another one, and there's no need to equal my order" Johan said.
"The sir! ... It was the best dessert!" olivia, with a big smile.
"Pffit ...!" Johan laughed stifledly. "really? Because it's also my favorite dessert."
After their ice cream order was delivered by the waiter, they enjoyed the sweetness and coldness of the dessert, while occasionally looking at and laughing.
"You're not laughing at me, who likes dessert for little kids, are you?" ask Johan suddenly.
"Pffhtt ...! Of course not, sir," said Olivia.
"Do you have a lover?"
It was as if Johan had mispronounced. After he asked Olivia, Johan then looked like a misbehavior. Even Johan's face looked crimson, right then and there.
"I'm sorry" continued Johan hurriedly.
Actually for Olivia, Johan's question was too personal, and sounded sudden, and quite surprising.
But after seeing Johan who looks regretful, especially the boss to apologize, Olivia so can not feel offended, and consider it ordinary.
"It's okay, Sir ... Because I gave you permission, to ask about me" said Olivia, smiling to calm Johan down.
"You don't have to answer my question. I know that's an inappropriate question for me to ask you" Johan said.
"Hm ... How, huh?! As long as you don't laugh at me, because I haven't found anyone who wants to ask me out" Olivia said, without a burden.
"You've got to be kidding me!" johan said, as if not believing what Olivia said just now.
"Is it possible because of the work at my company, which takes up too much of your time?" continued Johan, while linking his eyebrows together, looking worried.
"Pffhtt ...! Please, Sir ...! It's not like that. It has nothing to do with work. I just haven't found a suitable one yet" Olivia said.
"Hm ... I see, huh?! It feels unbelievable, if a beautiful and smart woman like you, then has no partner," Johan said.
