Yup! I Love You, Sir!

The Part 50

Olivia almost passed the park bench, where Claire was sitting with her friend, when she heard Claire's voice, which greeted Olivia.

"Olivia!" 

At that moment Olivia stopped her steps, and turned to look at Claire, who was seen standing from her seat.

"Hi, Claire!" Olivia then returned Claire's greeting, smiling.

"Where's your apartment?" claire asked, as she walked over to Olivia.

"That! Over there!" Pointing with her shoulder movements, Olivia answered Claire's question.

"Unusually, I see you around here" Olivia said in pleasantries.

"Yes ... I'm visiting my old friend." Claire pointed at someone, who was sitting with me.

A man, who Olivia judged for a glance, had stature and facial lines, which resembled Louis.

And now, Claire's boyfriend, has also approached Olivia.

"Olivia! ... Introduce it! His name was Dave," Claire said, introducing Olivia, with her boyfriend.

"Dave! ... It's Olivia ... He's the deputy head of the department, in the division I work for," Claire continued.

The man named Dave, then extended his hand towards Olivia.

But because Olivia's two hands, holding a plastic bag containing items that will be in the laundry, then Olivia in a hurry, put one of the plastic bags, onto the sidewalk.

Olivia then welcomes Dave by the hand, and shakes hands with him.

"Hello, Olivia! Nice to meet you," said Dave, smiling sweetly.

"Hello, Dave! I'm also happy to meet you" Olivia said, then removed her grip from Dave's hand.

"I live in that apartment over there." Dave points to the apartment building right next door, with the apartment building where Olivia lives.

"If I didn't overhear your conversation earlier, your apartment is next to mine" Dave continued.

"Then, have you ever met before?" ask Claire.

Olivia shook her head. "I don't think so."

"I've seen it a few times, when I've had coffee there!" dave said, to Claire, referring to a coffee shop, which is next to the laundry place.

"Olivia alone may never have noticed, my whereabouts here," continued Dave again.

With an expanding smile on his face, Dave spoke, staring fixedly at Olivia. 

"But, don't you usually do the laundry on Sundays?!" 

Olivia gasped a little at Dave's words just now, which was as if she had indeed noticed Olivia, while Olivia was at the laundry.

So that Dave, can memorize when the time, which became a habit for Olivia, to do her activities in that place.

"It just so happens, there's nothing I need to do today" Olivia said. 

Feeling that there was nothing more they could talk about, and Olivia also did not want to hold the plastic bag containing the dirty cloth any longer, Olivia then continued, saying,

"Hm ... I'm sorry, Claire! Dave's! But, I have to go wash my clothes." 

"Oh, yes! ... I'm sorry, which may only bother you" Claire said.

"It's okay. If I don't bring these things, I'll be happy to spend more time with you guys" Olivia said. 

"Olivia!" dave said, then handed Olivia a business card, and Olivia received it, taking a quick look at it. 

"I work as a dentist. Maybe you'll take care of your teeth, at the clinic where I work....

... You can get a price cut later. Don't hesitate, to call me first" Dave continued, smiling broadly, and almost laughing.

Olivia smiled at Dave's lighthearted joke, then said,

"Thank you for the offer. It's nice to meet you both. Claire! Dave's! I'll go first!"

"OKay! Bye, Olivia!"

"Bye, Olivia! See you soon!" 

Claire and Dave, almost at the same time saying their farewells to Olivia, and Olivia just nodded her head, while walking inside the laundry place.

While putting dirty clothes and cloths into the washing machine, Olivia glanced outward occasionally.

Laundry place, which was only glass-walled translucent, so Olivia could see clearly, what was outside the place.

Claire and Dave are seen sitting on the park bench, which is on the sidewalk, talking for a moment. 

And about ten minutes later, Claire and Dave were seen passing away from there.

Olivia remembered that time, when Claire wanted to be with Olivia, to come to the area where Olivia lived.

And Olivia could draw the conclusion that Claire was, at the time, probably planning to meet Dave.

Olivia does not expect Claire to have an acquaintance with someone who lives in the apartment building, which is next to the apartment building where Olivia lives.

But it is not too surprising, if Dave who works as a doctor, can pay rent, or maybe buy, an apartment room in the building.

Olivia looked at the business card that Dave had given her earlier.

Dave Curtis *DMD, that's Dave's full name, which is written there, along with the name of the clinic, and the contact number of Dave, which is on the card.

(*Dentariae Medicinae Doctorae : Doctor of Dental Medicine : Dentist)

When Olivia again pocketed Dave's business card, there was a little tickling in Olivia's heart, until she looked to the side of the laundry.

Olivia finally understood, why Dave could say, that he had seen Olivia there several times.

Apparently, between the coffee shop that Dave meant earlier, and the usual place for Olivia to clean her clothes, the two places could see each other's contents of the room.

During this time, Olivia never paid attention to the two places, which were only limited to transparent glass walls.

That was because Olivia, who was usually just busy taking care of her clothes, then stared at her phone, while waiting for her clothes to be cleaned.

***

Olivia was just done with the job of cleaning her clothes, when her phone rang, indicating that a new message was coming in.

But Olivia did not read it immediately, and just let it go, because she wanted to get away from the laundry immediately.

Until Olivia returns to her apartment room, Olivia still has no idea, to check her phone.

And just busy folding clothes from inside a plastic bag, and put them in a closet.

When all her homework was done, Olivia checked her phone while lying face down on her bed.

Hansen replies to Olivia's message, with an apology, because last night, his phone ran out of power, so he doesn't know if Olivia has returned a message from him.

Hansen wrote in his message that if he had just come home from the hospital, to change his clothes, and his plan, he would return to accompany his daddy and mommy, in the hospital. 

In addition to a message from Hansen, there was also a message from Jericho, who wrote his apology, for what happened, during dinner for Jonah's birthday celebration last night.

For the message from Jericho, Olivia only wrote a short reply message. 

'It's all right, sir.'

Later, Olivia replies to a message from Hansen, and continues to message him, until finally Hansen calls Olivia, and talks over the phone. 

Olivia and Hansen discussed the pain of daddy Hansen, in their talk, and made no mention of dating, or anything related to it.

In the middle of their conversation, Olivia thought about asking, 

"You're driving now, aren't you?" 

"Yes ... Its alright. We can keep talking, because I'm wearing handsfree" Hansen said.

For some time, when Olivia had a conversation with Hansen, according to Olivia, Hansen's voice sounded a little hoarse. 

Hansen now, seems to be in a fit state, and the cause is most likely due to him being sleep deprived, last night, and the night before.

Given Hansen who also had time to tell Olivia, that he looked through Olivia's social media account, when the clock was showing at two pm, that time.

So Olivia felt a bit anxious, because Hansen was still driving his own car.

"Are you far from the hospital?" ask Olivia. 

"No ... I'll be there soon" Hansen replied.

"Now! ... Be careful on the road! We'll talk later. There's something I need to do now" Olivia said.

Olivia just reasoned, in order to stop their conversation, because Olivia was worried, just in case Hansen did not concentrate while driving.

"Hm ... Okay! See you soon, Olivia!" hansen said, closing their conversation.

"Bye, Hansen!" sahut Olivia, then disconnected the phone.

On the screen of Olivia's phone, there is a new message coming in from Jericho.

'Are you angry with me?'

Olivia was confused herself, while reading Jericho's message.

Because according to Olivia, there is no relationship that is too special, between herself and Jericho, until it can make Olivia feel angry with him.

If Olivia was going to be angry, it was not Jericho, but Laura, who had been rude to her.

But even then, Olivia no longer thought about it, because Jericho and Johan have defended Olivia, without the need for Olivia who must argue with Laura. 

"That's all," said Olivia, who spoke to herself, and then typed in a reply.

'No, Sir.'

'I'm sorry, but there's something I have to do now.'

By sending the message, Olivia hopes that Jericho does not bother her anymore, with messages that Olivia does not understand, where she is going.
