Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 18
Until Olivia and Claire arrive at the cafeteria, Jericho does not reply to Olivia's message again, although a sign on the messaging app indicates that Jericho has read Olivia's message.
The atmosphere of the cafeteria today is quite crowded, when compared to the usual days.
Apparently, the average employee wants to save time, so they prefer to eat there instead of having to go out of the office.
The queue to buy food created there is quite long, so Olivia was bored waiting.
Behind Olivia also looks there are still many new employees who come, and queue at the place.
Olivia, given the opportunity by Claire and Louis to buy her food first, after getting her order, immediately sat on one of the empty benches.
Louis and Claire also seem to catch up with Olivia at the same table.
Claire sat down next to Olivia, while Louis took a seat in front of Olivia.
Neither Olivia, Louis, nor Claire, had yet tasted the food, but suddenly the cafeteria room sounded more boisterous, with people talking there simultaneously.
It was as if something had caught the attention of the employees in that place.
Olivia then followed the direction of the employees, all of whom looked in one direction.
Worth it!
Olivia shook her head, when she saw Jericho in the cafeteria, and lined up to buy food there.
For several years Olivia worked at Andersen's construction company, Olivia never saw Jericho eat in the cafeteria.
With the emergence of Jericho there now, of course, the center of attention of the employees.
Moreover, the female employees, who adored their Director.
In fact, some of Olivia's coworking women who looked excited, to the point of waving towards Olivia to follow looking at Jericho.
"Pffit ...!" Olivia laughed restrainedly.
"Truly an unusual sight. Our director could be in this place!" louis said, widening his eyes, as if he could not believe what he saw.
"Did the director never eat here?" claire looked confused.
"Yes. As far as I know, during my time working here, Sir Andersen was never seen in this place" Olivia replied.
"Can I sit here?"
A heavy and familiar voice in Olivia's ears suddenly sounded, and surprised her, until she immediately turned her head towards the arrival of the sound.
Jericho, who seemed to be smiling widely, was already standing next to Olivia, holding her dinner plate.
Jericho did not wear his suit, and only with a plain white shirt rolled up a little part of his long arm, up almost to the elbow.
So that the two open arms of Jericho, with one of his wrists coiling a watch, can be seen clearly for Olivia.
Olivia could not say anything, and was only fixated on seeing Jericho.
"Oh! Please sit down, sir!" louis said, shifting to the side, and giving his seat to Jericho.
Thus, Jericho sits face to face with Olivia, and Louis confronts Claire.
Olivia could barely blink looking at Jericho sitting in front of her, as Olivia was completely confused by Jericho's current behavior.
Did Jericho come to the cafeteria because of Olivia?
But it feels impossible, and Olivia doesn't want to think about the impossible.
"How are you, sir?" louis asked, seemingly making small talk.
"As you can see, I'm fine. Thank you for asking," Jericho replied casually.
"Oh! No, Sir!" sahut Louis's.
They all started eating, and Jericho occasionally chatted, asking a little about work to Louis, Olivia, and Claire, who also responded to Jericho's questions in turn.
Seeing that Jericho seemed to be enjoying his time with them, Olivia again felt ordinary, as if nothing surprising with Jericho's presence there.
But at that moment, to be honest, Olivia was feeling upset, when she saw Claire who gave more attention to Louis, even though Jericho and Olivia were still with them there.
Claire even seems to deliberately go to pick up dessert, which is only for herself and Louis, so that makes Olivia more convinced, if the woman is indeed interested in Louis.
Olivia no longer knew if it might look on her face would be her dislike of Claire's flippant gestures.
And Olivia also did not care, even if it seemed obvious that she felt the frustration at that time, and wanted to finish her lunch immediately, so that she could get out of it immediately.
When Olivia unintentionally looked towards Jericho, the boss then said,
"You're done eating, right? There is an empty table over there. Would you like to sit with me? As long as our break is not over," Jericho said.
Olivia glanced briefly at Louis, who seemed still engrossed in the world created by Claire.
"Yes" answered Olivia briefly, then stood up holding her wallet and mobile phone, with one hand.
"Louis! We moved over there!" Jericho pointed towards the empty table. "There's something I want to talk to Olivia about."
Louis seemed to flinch, and looked at Olivia and Jericho alternately for a while, then said, "Please, Sir!"
Jericho, who had been standing next to Olivia, held one of Olivia's hands that had just hung freely, and walked with Olivia to the empty table that became her destination.
Whether what possessed Jericho, until Olivia was really surprised and confused, the way Jericho held his hand in front of the crowd.
But Olivia did not immediately comment, nor protest Jericho at that time, and only obeyed him.
Until they sat on the empty bench, Olivia spoke carefully. "I'm sorry, Sir ...! But, the employees might be gossiping about you."
"It doesn't matter to me" Jericho said. But not long after, Jericho then looked like he was being misbehaved.
"Nrt! ... I don't think long ... I don't think, if you might not want to, if it's rumored that I am close to you. Forgive my carelessness," continued Jericho.
"Ugh? ... Sir ...? What are you talking about?" olivia was spontaneous.
"It's not like that, Sir ... I just don't want people to talk about you that much" Olivia explained.
"Hm ... If anyone is gossiping about me, let it go!" jericho said firmly.
Both Olivia and Jericho were silent for a while before Jericho said,
"Wait here for a second, will you?!"
Jericho left from where they were sitting, and when he returned, Jericho appeared to bring two bowls of chocolate-flavored ice cream, and gave one of them to Olivia.
"You like ice cream, don't you?" jericho said, who then sat there again.
"Yes. Thank you, sir," said Olivia, taking Jericho's ice cream, and then putting a little ice cream in her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Sir ... Why did you ask me to move my seat? What do you want to talk about?" ask Olivia.
Jericho, who had just put a spoonful of ice cream in his mouth, did not answer Olivia's question directly, but just stared fixedly at Olivia.
Oivia who felt awkward when stared at Jericho with such a lingering, finally felt unable to bear it anymore, until he immediately reprimanded Jericho.
"Sir ...?!"
"Do you like Louis?" jericho asked suddenly.
