Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 53
Either it's destiny, or what it's called for it.
To be sure, today Olivia met Dave, without Olivia planning it.
But, by drawing the conclusion from Dave's words, that almost every time Olivia came to the laundry place, then at that time Dave was in the coffee shop, Olivia just became curious, whether on weekends, Dave is also off work.
"Are you on holiday?" ask Olivia.
"No ... Yesterday I had my day off, but not today. I just ran away from the clinic" Dave replied.
"Ugh ...?" Olivia understood that Dave was making a joke. But surprisingly enough, if Dave easily leaves his job, just to go to the coffee shop.
"I've been working since morning, until I missed my lunch. Of course I deserve a cup of coffee, and a piece of milk pie, for my hard work, right?" said Dave.
Olivia finally understands that Dave's working hours are not as fixed as the employees in general, who must rest in the hours set by the company.
That way the situation, depending on Dave and his colleagues, who must be smart to take time for them, in order to rest.
Worth it, if Dave could be in the coffee shop, at erratic hours.
Olivia then remembered something.
"But ... Isn't it near the clinic, there's also a coffee shop?" ask Olivia again.
"Hm ... Whether you believe it or not. But the taste of the milk pie in this place, is the best, among other coffee shops, which are around here," replied Dave.
"Have you tried it before?" Dave pointed at a piece of his milk pie, which had just been served by a coffee shop waiter.
Olivia shook her head. "Not yet."
"really?" Dave seemed to be in disbelief, with what he had just heard from Olivia.
"You can try it!" Dave allowed Olivia, to pick up a piece of his milk pie, slightly pushing her dinner plate, closer to Olivia.
Olivia is reluctant to try it, but Dave seems pushy, to have Olivia taste a piece of milk pie, which has not been touched by Dave.
Using her fork, Olivia cuts off a small portion of the milk pie, and tries what it tastes like.
The food that Olivia had just fed into her mouth turned out to be really good.
The combination of ingredients from the cake, it felt soft, and melted in his mouth, with a sweet taste that is not excessive.
Olivia even seemed to feel a loss, because during her stay in the area, she had never tasted milk pie in a coffee shop, which tasted so good.
"How's it?" asked Dave, who looked enthusiastic.
"Hm ... Yes, it's delicious. I like it" replied Olivia, to be honest.
"See! ... Now you might understand, why I like to steal my time, just to come to this place" Dave said, smiling broadly.
"You can spend it." Dave called the coffee shop waiter, and ordered a new piece of milk pie.
For a while later, neither Olivia nor Dave said anything more, and each of them, simply enjoyed the menu that was already on the table.
And when Dave had eaten his milk pie, until almost half of it was gone, Dave suddenly said,
"Hm ... Olivia! ... Can I ask you something, related to your workplace?"
"About what?" Olivia asked back.
"Claire ... He just worked in the same office as you, right?!" said Dave.
"Yes ... He replaced one of my colleagues, who quit work last week," Olivia said. "What's wrong?"
"Previously, he—Claire—was working in a clinic. How is the work in your office? ... I mean the performance, and the relationship with the other co-workers," Dave said.
"Hm ... I think, the performance is the same as other employees," replied Olivia.
"If it's a relationship problem, ... you ask, do you mean a work relationship, or a personal relationship?" ask Olivia.
"Both," answered Dave.
"I don't know, about the personal relationships of each of my co-workers. If the working relationship, I think, the relationship he—Claire— with other coworkers, fine," said Olivia.
"But, isn't he your friend? You should know better, about her personal relationship, and not me, who just recently got to know her" Olivia continued.
Dave's gagat that Olivia can catch, when talking about Claire, actually looks strange and suspicious.
It was as if there was something, that Dave had hidden from Olivia.
Whether it was a good thing, or vice versa, it was a bad thing, of course Olivia could not guess.
"I'm friends with him, but there's still a lot I don't know about him ... I don't know yet how he is" Dave said.
Dave then lowered his gaze for a moment, as if he was thinking of something.
... But I really need your help" said Dave, who was staring back at Olivia.
From the look on his face and voice, right now, Dave seemed serious about what he had just said.
"What help?" ask Olivia, curious.
"If there's something going on in your office that you think might have something to do with Claire, I'd like you to call and tell me as soon as possible" Dave replied.
"Ugh ...?" Olivia confused. Because according to him, quite surprising and unclear, what the purpose of Dave, until he asked for help like that from Olivia.
"Whatchu mean? What could possibly have happened to Claire?" ask Olivia.
"I can't explain it to you right now, because I can't confirm it either....
... Sure, that's all. If there's anything weird about your job, and you suspect it has something to do with Claire, then you better call me....
... I just wish, if nothing would happen. But if something happens, then by then, I'll be able to explain it to you" Dave said.
Although Dave has spoken at length, but Dave's words, even leaving only a big question mark for Olivia.
However, Olivia can't ask anymore or force Dave, to tell him what's really going on.
Because from the words of Dave earlier, Olivia was able to draw conclusions, that Dave would only talk, if he felt that the time was right.
Dave is then seen examining the clock on the watch, which is coiled around his wrist, and then says,
"Olivia! ... I'm sorry, who couldn't keep you company for longer. I have to get back to work, now."
"Now! ... Please!" said Olivia.
Dave then stood up from his seat, and before stepping out of the coffee shop, Dave said goodbye, saying,
"Bye, Olivia! ... Enjoy your trip! ... See you next time!"
"Yes ... Bye, Dave!" sahut Olivia's.
Dave then walks away, disappearing from sight, leaving Olivia still sitting inside the coffee shop.
Olivia then looked at the time marker on the watch in her hand, and it was already showing at 16:42.
If in accordance with the agreement, then Olivia should not have to wait too long again, until the invitation came.
"Nriv! ... Kriei!"
Olivia's phone suddenly rang, signaling there was an incoming call there, and Olivia checked it immediately.
Olivia then immediately welcomes the incoming call, which comes from Johan's contact number.
"Hello, Sir!" greet Olivia.
"Hello, Olivia!" Johan greeted me from across the phone.
"Are you ready?" ask Johan.
"Yes, Sir ... I waited in the coffee shop, which was near my apartment," replied Olivia.
"Great! ... The company's driver is on his way, to pick you up" Johan said.
"I'm going to send you the contact number of the company driver who's going to pick you up, so you just call him, and tell him where you're waiting" Johan continued.
"Good, Sir!" sahut Olivia's.
"I'm sorry, Olivia! Because I didn't go back there, and couldn't keep you company, to travel together," Johan said.
"No problem, Sir ... We talked about it back then" Olivia said. "Where are you now, sir?"
"I'm already on my way to town xx" replied Johan.
"Be careful on the road, sir!" olivia.
"Yes ... Goodbye, Olivia! See you soon!" said Johan.
"Yes ... Bye, Sir!" sahut Olivia, then disconnect the phone.
On her phone screen, Olivia saw the contact data of the company driver, which Johan had just sent, and Olivia immediately dialed the number.
Apparently, when Olivia contacted the company driver who was going to pick her up, the company driver had already arrived in front of Olivia's apartment.
While still talking on the phone, Olivia told me where she was waiting, then picked up her luggage, and walked out of the coffee shop.
Without lingering any longer, Olivia immediately got into the company car, which would later drive her, to one of the hotels in the city xx, which became the place where Olivia would stay with Johan.
