Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 38
Hansen who told about how he started his business, until it could be like now, really caught the attention of Olivia.
Until the two of them had finished dinner, Olivia seemed to forget, how long she had spent with Hansen, in the restaurant owned by Hansen.
Especially when Hansen showed the old photos, which became a memento of the traces of the development of his restaurant, from the past until now, to Olivia.
Olivia was truly amazed, with Hansen's ingenuity and foresight, in finding and finding opportunities, and using them until he could succeed.
But when they talked, Olivia knew that Hansen did not have an excessive educational background.
Hansen had the same degree as Olivia, majored in the same course, and even attended the same university as Olivia.
But Hansen's critical way of thinking, which made a very distant difference, was between him and Olivia.
The excited Hansen, in order that he would not only be under the shadow of his parents' success, allowed him to climb his own success.
According to Olivia, people who have a way of mind like Hansen, certainly difficult to meet.
"Then what about your daddy company? Who will continue it later?" ask Olivia, curious.
"Of course I will continue. I was their only child. They won't be able to throw me away, even if they're tired of seeing me" Hansen replied.
"Haha!" Olivia laughed, while covering her mouth with her hands, and Hansen also seemed to smile broadly at her.
"Hm ... Then you mean a very busy person" Olivia said.
"Not entirely true. Because I still have time to date, even though none of them have succeeded....
... Maybe it's because I'm less attractive, that no woman wants to have a serious relationship with me" Hansen said.
"You must be kidding me" said Olivia, smiling.
"Hey! You don't believe it? Didn't you see? Jericho even had a child. While I ...? Hmm...!" hansen.
"Maybe you are too picky. Because you feel that you are a handsome man, and also successful. Right no?" sahut Olivia, kidding.
Before Hansen responded again, to Olivia's words about dating, Olivia immediately switched their conversation, to discuss about things that still make Olivia feel curious.
"Hansen! ... I can't imagine, how, until you can run two different businesses, all at once" Olivia continued in a hurry.
"You know, Andersen's got projects everywhere. That way, my daddy company also gets the impact of their success....
... For the time being, my daddy is still able to take care of his company, and I'm helping out some of it. But of course there was a time, he finally had to rest" Hansen said.
Of course Olivia knew very well, about the construction company she worked for.
Moreover, in recent years, the Johan-owned company, which has ruled all over the country, is now expanding its wings, to penetrate abroad.
"You don't want to, I have to find someone I can trust, to set up my restaurant business. So I can focus, to run my daddy company," Hansen continued.
A little envy, arose in Olivia's heart after hearing Hansen's words.
Because according to Olivia, people like Hansen and Jericho, are people who have succeeded, but still get another chance, to become more successful again.
While lower-class people like Olivia, looking for job vacancies until they can be accepted to work, have felt quite difficult.
As if, the rich could easily get richer.
As for the opposite, the poor, as if they had to look for a miracle, so that they too could feel success.
But Olivia's envy, not to make her hate the existence of successful and rich people.
Instead of being a booster Olivia's spirit, so that she can learn more, how to think, from people who have succeeded in realizing their dreams.
And how do you know, if maybe someday, Olivia can also take advantage of the knowledge and experience of people like Hansen, to make her feel the same success.
"Olivia! ... Do you want to marry me?" hansen asked suddenly, to disperse Olivia's thoughts.
"Ugh ...? Pfft ...!" Olivia was actually quite surprised by Hansen's question just now.
But because Olivia knew, if Hansen was a person who likes to joke, she ended up just laughing, while looking at Hansen.
"Bckck! ... My proposal was only laughed at by you" said Hansen, who appeared to be smiling broadly.
"What if the person who hears it, then takes it seriously?" olivia again.
"Who said I was joking? I'm serious about proposing to you" said Hansen, who seemed unwilling to lose.
"Hansen ...! Stop it! Your jokes are no longer funny. How could you possibly propose to someone you just met?
... You don't even know me very well. Aren't you afraid that I'll just use you?" olivia said, smiling, and almost laughing.
"Hm ... I see, huh?!" Hansen looked to nod his head.
"So, if I've known you better, then can I ask you to marry me? Then you should go on a date with me!"
After Hansen finished speaking, he smiled widely, and blinked one eye at Olivia.
"Pffit ...!" Olivia, who still thinks that Hansen is just joking, laughed bothered to see Hansen's behavior.
"Have had enough jokes ...! My cheeks hurt from smiling too much" said Olivia slowly, then looked at the time on her wrist.
"What's up? ... Are you tired of being with me?" hansen asked, looking disappointed.
"No, it's not, it's" replied Olivia. "But it's getting late. Don't you want to rest soon?"
"Hm ... And just this time, I could be alone with you...." Hansen looked completely disappointed, and put on a lethargic look.
"Geez ...! All righty! I can still keep you company longer" Olivia said. "Is there anything you want to do?"
"Have you ever been to a food truck?" asked Hansen, who looked excited again.
"Yes, I've been there. Even recently, I went there with Sir Andersen" replied Olivia.
"Jericho or Johan?" hansen asked in confusion.
"Sir Jericho" replied Olivia again.
"If you're often with Jericho, then you may never accept my proposal, which is to marry you" Hansen said.
"Hansen! ... What the fuck are you?" olivia.
"Huuffft...!" Olivia grunted softly. "Sir Andersen is my boss, it feels uncomfortable to talk about it like that, even if it's just a joke."
"Okay, okay! ... I'm sorry" Hansen said, then stood up from his seat, and asked Olivia to come with him. "Let's go!"
***
In Hansen's car, which leads to a location where food trucks usually gather, to peddle his wares there, Hansen still seems to be thinking about Olivia and Jericho.
Until they finally arrived, at the place where they were going.
And before they both got out of Hansen's parked car, Hansen immediately restrained Olivia, in order to stay in the car with him.
Hansen then said,
"Olivia ...! You may think that Jericho is your boss, and your relationship is only limited between the boss, and his employees....
... But I think Jericho might be interested in having more to do with you than that. Just like me, who wants to date you."
At that instant, Olivia was wide-eyed.
And so surprised, Olivia did not know what to say, to respond to Hansen's words just now, so she could only be silent, staring at Hansen.
"You don't have to worry! I will not rush, let alone force you to become my lover. I know that you'll need some time, to think about it....
...I'm just asking for a chance from you, so you'll still want to be friends with me. And don't shy away from me, just because of my confession....
...I also hope that we can spend more time alone, so that we can get to know each other better....
...Of course, I will not prevent you from getting to know anyone else, other than me....
... Until you feel sure, if you are ready to be my lover. Or maybe you will, prefer someone else to be your lover."
Hansen spoke at length, with a serious tone, but still sounded calm, according to Olivia.
