Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 22
The atmosphere inside the restaurant felt a little awkward, as Jericho seemed to be irritated by Hansen, his friend, who he probably thought was too talkative.
However, Olivia also did not know how to ease the slightly tense atmosphere, so she could only be silent.
Until dinner is served on the table.
Hansen, who was just enjoying a glass of wine, then said back,
"I'm sorry Olivia, but I'm someone who prefers to be honest. Louis likes you. But, he's the kind of jerk. Men, it seems, will not want to confess first because of ego....
... He wants the woman he likes to be in his control, to confess first to him. Then he'll set the direction of the next relationship."
"Hansen! Please ...! Enough already!" said Jericho, who looked even more upset.
"What's wrong with you? I was just trying to protect Olivia, before she fell in love with such a manipulative man!" sahut Hansen's.
Jericho who looked at Hansen seemed to widen his eyes, shaking his head slowly.
"Oh, my gosh!" hansen said suddenly. I don't know what Hansen's thinking right now.
"Olivia! Have you fallen in love with him?" Hansen seemed to furrow his brows deeply, and put on a serious look, while looking at Olivia.
Olivia did not know what to react, when her personal problems were even their discussion there.
Even the same Hansen as Jericho, who was recently known by Olivia, was also involved in Olivia's personal problems.
"Listen to me! Stay away from that man! You'll just feel miserable!" hansen said firmly, slightly raising her tone.
"Hansen! You've been too late!" Jericho also raised his voice.
"It's okay, Sir ... I think what Hansen said is probably true" Olivia said, really.
Olivia was not just trying to calm the two men down so as not to argue over it.
Rather, because Olivia did feel, if what was said by Hansen, it was in accordance with what he felt, as long as he was near Louis.
"Huuufft ...!" Hansen grunted violently.
"I'm sorry ... I might just make you feel uncomfortable" Hansen told Olivia.
"It's okay. You don't have to apologize. You just opened up my mind" said Olivia honestly.
"But ... Hansen! I'm really curious. Have you known Louis before?" continued Olivia.
"No. I just met him yesterday. Did you forget that I just met her too?" hansen.
"Then how could you have guessed that Louis was a manipulative person?" ask Olivia, to satisfy her curiosity.
"Hm ... How do I explain it, huh?!" said Hansen, who seemed to be furrowing his brows, as if he was thinking of something.
"Jericho! Whaddya think? Because compared to me, I think you might know Louis better" Hansen said, as if asking Jericho for advice.
"I don't know how to explain it either. But if in my opinion, your estimation of Louis is, it is true" Jericho said.
"I'm sorry, Olivia," continued Jericho, as if he had just mispronounced her.
"It's okay, sir! ... It wasn't your fault. Because I myself want to find out," said Olivia.
"We are both men. So it feels, it has become our nature, which can judge our fellow men. Maybe that's a suitable explanation" Hansen said.
Olivia, who was still staring at Hansen, turned her eyes towards Jericho.
But Jericho seemed to shrug both shoulders, as if he was hinting, if it was up to Olivia to believe it or not, Hansen said.
"Hm ... He must be nice to you, and to the people around him that you can see, right? Pull out, when expressing his interest in you...
Olivia was silent for a while, thinking about Hansen's words.
Quite surprising to Olivia, how Hansen could know all that, which according to Olivia was in accordance with the attitude of Louis so far.
"Just meet one time and see the movements, I can already judge it," Hansen said.
Olivia couldn't believe Hansen's words. But how else?
"Of course, Louis likes you, Olivia. The rest, it's up to you....
... If you still want to be her lover, then you just acknowledge how you feel about her" Jericho said.
"God! ... Do you want to knock Olivia out?" refute Hansen.
"Hansen! ... It's not you or me who can judge it better. The choice remains in Olivia's hands" Jericho said.
Hansen could finally just fall silent, and did not comment on Jericho's words anymore.
Olivia then looked at Jericho and Hansen alternately, thinking.
If Olivia had not met Jericho and Hansen, Olivia would have never realized, because she was blinded by her love for Louis.
Then, either stupid actions like anything, which may still be done by Olivia later in life, if she still can not think long.
"The sir! ... Hansen! ... Do you guys know? I'm happy to meet you both" Olivia said with a smile.
"really?" hansen asked, as if to be sure.
"Pffit ...!" Olivia laughed stifledly, then nodded her head. "Yes. Sure thing!"
"Bccw ...! It looks like you're going to make me really fall in love with you" Hansen said.
Jericho and Olivia both seemed to flinch, then shook their heads.
"Eh! Will Jericho be jealous? But, I don't care. Who's fast, he's the one who can" Hansen said with a big smile, as if mocking Jericho.
"Hansen!" jericho said, with the look of his face that looks red.
"Pffhtt ...! Haha! ... Hansen! There's-There's this you!" Said Olivia, who couldn't help but laugh.
***
While enjoying their late dinner, Olivia, Jericho, and Hansen were able to have a casual chat, inside Hansen's restaurant.
Sometimes they laugh off together, because of silly events in the past, when Jericho and Hansen were children, told by Hansen.
Hansen who seems to have a humorous nature, and is accustomed to talking as is, can easily make Olivia become familiar with him.
Olivia also came to understand, if possible because of Hansen's relaxed and open style, so that Jericho could remain his best friend, since they were still in primary school.
Even according to Olivia, many sides of the personality of Jericho that so open and clearly visible, when Jericho was with Hansen there.
Until their dinner was finished, Olivia and Jericho did not immediately go home, and were still busy chatting with Hansen.
After a late night, they left Hansen's restaurant, and Jericho drove Olivia back to her apartment.
"Frankly, I was really worried, just in case you might be offended by my behavior and Hansen, who made your personal problems a talking point" Jericho said.
"Hm ... At first I felt pretty bad. But over time, I came to understand your purpose and Hansen, who was talking about it, sir," said Olivia.
"So, you don't have to feel burdened. Because I really need advice and reminders, so that I don't act stupid, like I almost did this afternoon" continued Olivia.
