Last night, after returning from the restaurant, Johan still drove Olivia to the entrance of her apartment building, before she left there, using her car driven by her personal driver.
"I'm really happy, and enjoying my time with you tonight" Johan said.
"But to be honest, I still feel worried, just in case you might not like it, and just feel compelled to accompany me tonight," continued Johan hesitated.
"What are you talking about, sir?! ... I feel the same way too. I'm happy to have dinner, while talking to you, sir," Olivia said with a big smile.
"Tomorrow morning I'll be out of town, and stay there for the next two days. When I want to talk to you, can I call you?" Johan.
"You can refuse, if you feel that my desire is too burdened," Johan continued hurriedly, before Olivia answered his question.
"You can call me anytime, sir," Olivia said.
"You mean it?" Johan looked enthusiastic.
"Pffhtt ...! Of course, sir," replied Olivia, holding back her laughter at the cute-looking Johan gelagat, according to Olivia.
"Olivia ...! If you need something from me, no need to feel reluctant, you can contact me first," Johan said, staring fixedly at Olivia.
"Okay, Sir!" sahut Olivia's.
"All right then. I'll be home after you come in" Johan said.
"Bye, Sir! ... Be careful on the road!" olivia said, then turned around and went into her apartment.
"Bye, Olivia! ... Rest well!"

As usual on weekdays, this morning Olivia returned to her routine that must be active in the office.
There was a slight difference that Olivia felt today.
While waiting for the elevator with the other employees, Jericho, who was seen among them, seemed to develop a big smile on his face, as his eyes collided with Olivia.
Not only that time Jericho joined his employees, but usually the boss was never seen smiling to anyone.
Of course, Jericho's height exceeded the average height of his employees, so it was more striking with his smile, which was a rare sight.
Olivia could hear whispers from other employees, who seemed to have caught the unusual look on Jericho's face.
Olivia, who did not want other employees to know, if Jericho smiled at him, then later might be the gossip material in the office, immediately turned her gaze in the other direction.
But Jericho seemed not to care about the whispers of his employees.
Until some of them get into the elevator, and Olivia also Jericho who gets the same elevator, Jericho still smiles while looking at Olivia, when Olivia surmises looking at her.
"Din!"
Olivia immediately saw her phone, when she heard a sign there was a message coming in there.
'Morning!'
The incoming message came from Jericho.
It seems Olivia can not believe, if the boss who greeted him first, even though only by text message.
'Morning, Sir!'
Although feeling a bit embarrassed, but Olivia still reply to the message from Jericho.
"Din!" Again, a new incoming message makes Olivia's phone ring.
'You look great!'
The short message from Jericho, which also embeds a smile and thumb emoticon in the text, can make Olivia smile widely and almost laugh.
Olivia then raised her gaze, and looked towards Jericho, then smiled at each other for a moment, before Olivia turned her gaze again.
'thank you. You look great too, sir.'
Before the elevator doors opened, Olivia still had time to reply to a message from Jericho.
"Din!" Again a short message from Jericho, get on Olivia's phone.
'Please contact me, if you need anything.'
Olivia, reading a message from Jericho while walking towards her study, could hardly stop smiling.
"Olivia!"
Louis's exclaiming voice called out her name, causing Olivia to immediately take her eyes off the phone screen, and not have time to type in a reply message for Jericho.
"What's wrong?" ask Olivia.
"Please double-check this statistical analysis!" Louis offered a flash to Olivia.
"Four ten, this data must be submitted to the manager. But I still have to check some data from the xxx area," Louis continued.
"Okay!" olivia, then immediately took the flash from Louis' hand, and hurried to his desk.
"If it's done, just give it to the manager. Okay?!" said Louis, who was also sitting in front of the computer, which was on his desk.
Olivia, who was immersed in her work, forgot her intention earlier to reply to a message from Jericho.
When towards the end of the year as it is now, work in the Olivia division will usually be more dense.
Moreover, Andersen's company where Olivia worked, is in the planning stage to open a new branch office in another city.
Until her time to lunch break, Olivia still does not remember to reply to messages from Jericho, so busy with her work.
***
"Let's go to lunch!" take Louis.
When some of Olivia's coworkers took her to the office cafeteria with them, Olivia saw Claire approaching Louis at her desk.
Now, Olivia's co-workers seem to have walked out of their workspace first, until the workspace looks empty, so that the work space looks empty, and Louis was left standing with Claire by Olivia's desk.
Olivia, who was still checking the analysis notes that had not been delivered to her desk for a long time, was actually reluctant to go along with Louis and Claire.
Olivia even thought of making her unfinished work an excuse to reject Louis' invitation.
However, Olivia also did not want to show clearly, if she did not feel comfortable anymore to stay close to the man.
Especially in front of Claire, who might realize that Olivia is interested in Louis, and honestly Olivia still feels a little jealous, even though she is determined to forget her feelings for Louis.
Olivia can think that, because she herself can realize that Claire seems interested in Louis, just by looking at the movements of Claire alone.
Thus, if Olivia did not want anyone to suspect anything because of her suddenly changing attitude, then Olivia had to act ordinary in front of everyone.
"Wait a minute!" Olivia then took her wallet and cell phone, stood up, and walked with Louis and Claire, to the cafeteria.
While waiting for the elevator to open, Olivia, who is not too willing to pay attention to the conversation between Louis and Claire, checks her phone.
And apparently, there was a message coming in from Jericho at ten.
Then, Jericho sends a message when Olivia is in the manager's office, which is why Olivia does not know if there is an incoming message on her phone, which she had left on her desk.
'Will you have lunch with me?'
So was the message from Jericho to Olivia.
'I'm sorry, sir.'
'I just saw your message, and now I've been to lunch with my coworkers.'
Olivia typed in the reply, then sent it to Jericho.
"Din!" Olivia's phone rang, and Olivia, still staring at her phone screen, immediately read the message Jericho had sent her.
'Where are you having lunch?'
Olivia then typed in a new reply message, then immediately pressed the send button.ย 'In the cafeteria, sir.'
