Yup! I Love You, Sir!

The Part 19

Whether or not Olivia's judgment is correct.

But according to Olivia, Jericho seemed riled up when he asked about Olivia's feelings for Louis.

"I'm sorry sa—" Olivia couldn't go on with her sentence, as Jericho immediately interrupted her words.

"Don't hit around the bush!" jericho said firmly. "I assume that you really like it. And he doesn't know? Or is he playing you on purpose?"

Olivia should have been able to protest Jericho's words that were too harsh on her, and had alluded to Olivia's personal problems.

But at that time, Olivia seemed to be able to immediately understand, if Jericho was intending to protect her, so Olivia did not want to refute Jericho.

Olivia regrets it, because the situation where she feels jealous of Louis and Claire coincides with Jericho there.

Embarrassed, Olivia lowered her head, and could not answer Jericho's question.

"I'm sorry that maybe I was too hard on you. But you may not realize that you almost embarrassed yourself in front of him" Jericho said.

It turns out that Olivia was right, that Jericho was trying to protect her.

Even Jericho to do the scene, which might make Louis more appreciative of the existence of Olivia.

"Don't make fun of yourself! Acting foolishly in front of him, will only drop your pride. And it's not worth it" continued Jericho.

Once again true Olivia's guess, after listening to Jericho's words to him now.

And maybe because Olivia just remained silent, and kept her head down, Jericho then rebuked her.

"Say something! Does Louis know you like him? Then he's just playing with your feelings?"

Jericho then held Olivia's hand, and grasped it tightly, as if to make Olivia feel more comfortable.

"Please Olivia ...! Do you hate me?"

Jericho's question, it almost made Olivia cry, so Olivia took a deep breath many times, until she felt calm again.

Olivia raised her head, and looked towards her hand that was on the table, which was still held by Jericho.

Then, Olivia raised her gaze again, so that she could look at the Director.

"No, Sir ... How could I hate you, while you have prevented me from embarrassing myself" Olivia replied.

Olivia took a deep breath, then exhaled violently. "Huuufft...!"

"He didn't know I liked him. So, I can't blame her for my own stupidity" Olivia continued.

Actually Olivia felt very embarrassed to tell the truth about her feelings for Louis, to Jericho.

But it was already wet, so all those words just slid out of Olivia's mouth, forcing herself to keep smiling in front of Jericho.

"There is no need to force yourself to look strong! It must hurt, right?!" jericho said, while stroking Olivia's hand that was still held.

"Pffhtt ...! Please, Sir ...! Don't make me want to cry. It would be even more embarrassing later," Olivia said with a stifled laugh, because Jericho's treatment in her hands, only made her feel amused.

"Okay, okay! ... Now, you should get over it!" said Jericho, who seemed to raise both eyebrows.

Jericho was then seen holding his chin, as if he was thinking of something.

"But do you know? ... If you still can't handle it, then you can use me, to make him pay more attention to you," continued Jericho looks confident.

"Haha ...! You must be joking, sir," said Olivia with a laugh, and Jericho also seemed to smile broadly at her.

"Do you feel better?" ask Jericho.

"Yes, Sir ... I'm really grateful to you, sir," replied Olivia.

"OKay! Equals ... Quickly finish your ice cream! It must be melting by now, and soon enough, the lunch break will be over, too" Jericho said, then started eating his ice cream again.

***

Until the lunch break ended, Olivia was still sitting and chatting with Jericho.

"Remember! ... Call me if you need anything! Even if you only need a conversation partner, you can still call me."

Jericho still had a message to Olivia, before parting ways, when they had gotten out of the elevator.

"Okay, Sir! Thank's a lot!" sahut Olivia's.

With a big smile, Jericho seemed to be giving his thumbs up towards Olivia.

In the light, the closeness between Olivia and Jericho, attracted the attention of the people, moreover, the co-workers of one division with Olivia.

Olivia was even dragged by some female colleagues, who seemed very curious, about what the relationship between Olivia and Jericho was, until their Director could look relaxed while with Olivia.

"Please Olivia ...! How did you get close to our handsome boss?"

"You don't play with secrets!"

"The director even holds your hand. If I were you, I might have passed out."

"Oh, my gosh! I don't think I can believe that our Director can be close to you."

"Olivia! ... You really make us feel jealous."

No doubt, there was a commotion in Olivia's workroom, with voices from her co-workers.

Olivia's sense of hearing was buzzing, because the questions and words of her co-workers were too frenzied nearby.

Though some of Olivia's coworkers were amazed, some were married, and some even had children.

But the charm of Jericho seems indisputable, so the average female worker so fell in love with him.

"Please stop it!" olivia said while refraining from laughing loosely, because she saw the ridiculous behavior of her colleagues.

"Olivia!"

Suddenly, Louis's voice called out to Olivia's name, and at once the workroom returned its calm.

"Yes!" sahut Olivia, looking at Louis. "What's wrong?"

Louis, who seemed to walk up to Olivia, said nothing immediately, and remained silent for a while, until he stopped and stood by Olivia's desk.

"Is it tonight you have time? I want to take you out with me. I'm the one who deals," said Louis.

"Hm ... Ii'm sorry. But ini—" Olivia pointed to the computer she had just switched on, which displayed an analysis note on her screen.

"... might make me work overtime, if I want this job done on time, for the meeting tomorrow after tomorrow," continued Olivia, reasoned to reject Louis' invitation.

"I'll help you do that." Louis seemed pushy, offering his help.

"Hm ... No need. You have a lot of work, right?!" sahut Olivia, who is still looking for excuses.

Without commenting, Louis left and went back to his own desk.

Olivia glanced at Louis for a moment.

According to Olivia's guess, maybe because Jericho was familiar with Olivia earlier, so Louis wanted to talk alone with Olivia.

Frankly, it felt good to see Louis was agitated, because Olivia was close to their Director.

It was as if Olivia had just managed to avenge her, due to Claire's friendly behavior with Louis in the cafeteria earlier.

But at that moment, Olivia thought to calm Louis, telling the truth, that he actually had nothing to do with Jericho.

No. gabe.

That's a stupid thing, if until Olivia can easily be re-influenced by Louis's attention to him.

Olivia chooses to leave it alone, without thinking too much about having a romantic relationship with Louis, which had been her momentary wish.
