Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 59
Together with Johan, the trapeze act, became the first show watched by Olivia, inside the circus tent.
The movement of jumping, while hanging from one chair, to another chairlift, carried out by the hanging players, did attract the attention of visitors, who almost filled every bench, he said, available in the tent.
Every time a difficult movement, which the performers managed to make, was able to make all the audience, applauding with great fanfare.
Including Olivia and Johan.
Although Olivia is phobic with height, to make her shudder when she saw the show, but Olivia can still enjoy the spectacle, and applaud no less eagerly, when compared to other audiences.
Likewise, during the funny clown action show that was shown, Olivia could hardly stop laughing, so anxious to see it.
Olivia who was too engrossed in what she saw, to the point that, Olivia did not pay much attention anymore, would Johan's movements beside her.
Of the many performances in the circus, it seems, there is nothing that Olivia does not like.
Until it was time for the magic show, and the magician asked several spectators, to take part in the performance.
After several spectators were alternately called to the stage, suddenly, Johan also got lighting from the spotlights there.
Quickly, Johan refused to go on stage, waving his hand in front of his chest.
"Oh, no! ... No!" Johan.
"Come, Sir! ... I want to see you there." said Olivia, in a clear voice, smiling.
Johan then looked at Olivia fixedly, for a while.
And apparently, Johan was worried about Olivia's behavior, until she bit her own lips, squinting her eyes.
But Olivia did not give up, and still persuaded Johan, to take part in the magic show.
"Come on, sir." said Olivia again.
"Nrt! ... Fine!" Johan's voice sounded like he was grumbling, although he finally stood up, and walked towards the stage.
Olivia clapped with a satisfied laugh, as she managed to get Johan to agree, to take part in the magic show.
Among the people standing on the stage, Johan stood out, due to his height still exceeding that of the others, who were with him at the time.
Not only that, because it seems, Johan is also the most handsome audience, among other spectators, who are invited to take the stage.
Olivia could think so, as Olivia could hear the talk from some of the spectators, who were sitting nearby.
The audience near Olivia expressed their admiration for Johan's physical appearance, when it was Johan's turn to take part in the magic act, which was being shown.
But it felt, Olivia was not too surprised, if she heard such praise, which people directed to Johan. Because according to Olivia, Johan's physical appearance, it deserves praise.
Olivia then took a picture of Johan, who was on stage, using her mobile phone.
Olivia even made a video recording, using her phone, to capture the rare moment.
It felt, it was certainly arguably rare, for Olivia.
Because, when else could Olivia have a chance, to see her boss, a CEO of a giant company, who was in the magic show.
Until the show finally ended, and Johan then returned to his seat, next to Olivia.
Olivia, who was able to get some photos, and a little recording of Johan's motion-picture video on stage, really found it difficult, to hold herself back from laughing.
"You're so cool, sir!" said Olivia.
"Yeah, right! ... Don't tease me!" sahut Johan, ketus.
"Pffit...!" Olivia laughed stifledly, while covering her mouth with her hands.
"I'm telling you the truth, sir!" olivia said, then showed the screen of her phone, which played back the video recording, to Johan.
"Oh, gosh! ... Why are you doing it?" said Johan, shaking his head, and seeming to hold himself back from laughing.
"Do you want the video?" olivia asked, smiling in mockery of Johan.
Johan then took Olivia's hand, and grasped it tightly, and it felt as if Johan was squeezing it a little, then said,
"You can keep it to yourself, to be your laughing stock."
"I'm sorry, Sir ... I was just kidding. I'll remove it immediately" Olivia said.
"No! It's okay! ... You can keep it, if you like it" Johan said, in a hurry.
Now, on stage is featuring a little boy, who shows his skills, who can direct some dogs, to perform acrobatics.
Seeing the movements of the little boy, who looked adorable in the show, Olivia suddenly became reminded of Jonah.
"Hm ... The sir! Can I show Jonah this video?" ask Olivia.
"Now! ... Jonah would love to see this footage of you. It's a pity we couldn't get her to watch this show together" Olivia said.
Johan then looks to smile widely, while staring at Olivia fixedly.
"After our meeting tomorrow, I will probably remain in the main office, until next week....
... If you want, on a weekend off, we can go back to this town, and watch this circus show again, with Jonah," Johan said.
"Hm ... I can't promise, sir. But if I don't have any other plans, I might be able to come along" Olivia said.
"Now! ... I hope that you can come along," Johan said, smiling broadly.
The whole show inside the circus tent is not over, but since it is time for dinner, Johan invites Olivia to go to dinner with him.
Although Olivia still wants to watch the circus show, Olivia still agrees to Johan's invitation, because she does not want to make Johan starve, just because waiting for him.
Johan then took Olivia, to a restaurant that provides oriental food menu, which is not too far from the circus performance venue.
It only took about fifteen minutes for Johan to drive, they were already at the restaurant.
After placing the order, going what they wanted to the waiter of the restaurant, while sitting waiting for their order to be served, Johan then said, saying, What do they want is the waitress of the restaurant,
"By taking you with me, I feel like I'm taking Goddess Fortuna on my work trip this time."
"Pff.ht...! You must be kidding me" said Olivia, laughing stifledly.
"Hm ... You might not believe it. I was thinking that we might be exhausted to meet people in the xx area....
...But with you, we can save a lot of time, until I can still enjoy some relaxing time with you....
... This time, it was a work trip, so it was fun. It's like just being on vacation, with you with me," Johan said.
"I think it's just a coincidence, sir.." said Olivia, quietly.
The waiter of the restaurant serving their food, makes the conversation between Olivia, and Johan come to a standstill.
And after they started the conversation again, enjoying their dinner, their discussion changed, on the talk of how exciting, the circus show they were watching.
"On that stage, I was really embarrassed. Because I think I might be the oldest person there" Johan said.
"If it wasn't for you forcing me, I wouldn't have gotten on that stage" Johan continued, shaking his head.
"I don't think you should feel that way ... I can still hear whispers from other people, who are sitting near me, who admire you" Olivia said.
"You must be mocking me." Johan said, without looking at Olivia.
"No, Sir! ... I'm telling the truth. You do still look awesome," said Olivia, reassuring Johan, so that the boss does not need to feel inferior.
Johan then raised his gaze, then looked at Olivia fixedly, with a faint smile.
"okay ... I just believe it. Even if you just say it," Johan said, slowly.
***
When they return to the hotel, Olivia and Johan do not immediately enter their respective rooms.
Johan invites Olivia, to sit in the hotel restaurant, and discuss notes for the presentation, while enjoying ice cream.
Most of the presentation material, already made by Johan, and when Olivia gave a small portion of her additional notes, Johan agreed to the overall result.
"We can rest now. Tomorrow morning, we'll meet again in the lobby" Johan said.
"Good, Sir!" sahut Olivia's.
***
In her room, Olivia watches a video of Johan, who seems timid, as she takes part in the magic show.
With her own smile, Olivia thought and imagined how Jonah would react, if the child saw the video footage later.
But because of that, Olivia remembered Jericho, making Olivia smile and happy, immediately disappeared.
If Olivia wants to meet Jonah, of course she has to face Jericho.
Plus, Laura might still be living in Jericho's house, right now.
If that is the case, then Olivia will undo her intention, to meet Jonah, even though she misses the adorable behavior, of the boy.
"I'm sorry, Jonah ... We might have trouble meeting again."
With a feeling of sadness, Olivia spoke to herself, as if she was saying that to Jonah.
