Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 60
In keeping with the promise that Olivia agreed with Johan last night, when Olivia went down to the lobby, Johan was seen waiting for Olivia there.
Before they headed to the branch building in the city, for a meeting, Olivia still took the time to have breakfast with Johan, at the restaurant in the hotel where they were staying.
Johan then immediately took Olivia away with him, when it was nearing time for a meeting with the Mayor, the investors, and the representatives of the townspeople.
If Olivia can talk honestly, the closer she is to making a presentation, Olivia is now getting nervous.
And apparently, Johan realized Olivia's anxiety and doubt, until he said,
"Calm down! ... You can do it."
Upon arrival at the branch office building in the city of xx, Olivia along with Johan, immediately escorted by someone who was in charge of welcoming their arrival, headed to the conference room.
How surprised Olivia was when they were already in the special room for the meeting, and met some people who were already waiting for them there.
One of those people, Angelo, Olivia's senior and former lover, was in college.
But apparently, it is not only Olivia who was surprised, for their unexpected meeting.
Angelo even looks widened his eyes, when he looks at Olivia, and so does the movement of Angelo's mouth, which is as if he is saying, 'oh, my goodness', without making his voice.
After shaking hands with the people, Olivia shook hands with Angelo.
"Hi, Sir!" greet Olivia, shaking hands with Angelo.
"Hi, Miss Lane!" Angelo said hello to Olivia.
While still putting on a look of surprise, Angelo seemed unwilling to release Olivia's hand from his grasp.
"Over time we did not meet ... You still look beautiful, as in my memory," said Angelo, smiling broadly, and staring fixedly at Olivia.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir!" sahut Olivia, mince words.
Feeling that the two of them have been shaking hands for too long, and may attract others, Olivia tries to take her hand off Angelo's hand.
However, Angelo still did not want to release his hand from Olivia, and even felt a little squeezing Olivia's hand there.
"Have you got a new boyfriend, now?" angelo asked, looking cautious.
"No, Sir ... But I don't think we can talk about it here" Olivia said.
"Perfect! ... Now I can expect you back," Angelo said, with his smile appearing to be widening.
"Miss Lane! ... Sir Angelo Sullivan! ... Did you guys know each other before?" Johan scolds them, finally making Angelo let go of Olivia's hand.
"I—" Olivia has not had time to finish her sentence, Angelo has interrupted her first.
"Miss Olivia Lane was my girlfriend when we were in university" Angelo said, without sounding hesitant.
Olivia was really surprised and embarrassed by Angelo's statement, which was as if the man was proud, for having been Olivia's lover.
"really?" While putting on a serious face, Johan seemed to want to ascertain the truth of Angelo's statement.
"We—" Again, Olivia could not continue her sentence, because Angelo was more dominating the conversation.
"Of course! ... We haven't even officially severed our relationship yet" Angelo replied, steady.
"Hm ... Im sorry. But I have to get my assistant, Miss Lane, to do the re-preparation, before our meeting starts" Johan said.
"All right!" sahut Angelo, then leaned his head against one side of Olivia's face, then whispered in Olivia's ear, saying,
"I still love you, honey.... We need to talk, after this meeting is over. Because you still owe me an explanation."
"Miss Lane! ... We better go now!" said Johan, with a firm tone of voice.
Olivia did not have time to respond to Angelo's words, and hurriedly followed Johan, who invited her to sit in one of the empty seats, which had been reserved for them.
Not long after, Angelo is also seen sitting in one of the empty seats, which is right opposite Olivia.
Olivia, who was basically already nervous, was increasingly unable to control her heartbeat, which increased sharply, because of Angelo who was smiling while looking at her.
No matter what kind of coincidence, Olivia could meet her ex-lover, who has now become one of the investors, for the project undertaken by Andersen's Construction.
Olivia had a really hard time calming herself down, until she had to sigh many times, and exhale slowly, while staring at the presentation materials she had in her hand.
After everyone who was invited, to join in the meeting had already arrived, the meeting at that place then immediately began.
When it was Olivia's turn to make the presentation, Olivia barely dared to look at Angelo, who seemed as if she had forgotten how to blink again, as she stared at Olivia.
The situation is different with Johan.
Unlike during the coordination meeting at that time, where Johan always looked at Olivia, and always seemed to develop a wide smile.
From what Olivia's vision could capture, Johan looked more at Angelo, putting on a serious look, as if there was something she was thinking about Angelo.
But Olivia didn't really want to think about the movements of the two people, and really just concentrated on her presentation, so she didn't make a mistake.
When Olivia finished delivering her presentation, Johan replaced Olivia, standing at the front, to respond to questions from the people.
Meanwhile, Olivia, who was back in her chair, saw Angelo who did not seem to concentrate on the meeting that was still going on, and was more focused on Olivia.
Every time Olivia looked at Angelo, the man would move his mouth, as if he were saying, 'I love you'.
Olivia must admit, if her chest is still pounding when she meets Angelo, who had been her lover for approximately three years.
Olivia and Angelo, inevitably have to separate, when Angelo who has to move and live abroad, because of the affairs in his family.
Due to the distance that separates, and not knowing when they can meet again, Olivia then gets used to it, to forget her relationship with Angelo.
Olivia even changed her phone number, also blocked all her social media from Angelo's social media, so that the man could not contact her anymore.
All that Olivia did, so that she could completely forget Angelo, and not hope anymore, to be able to return to be her lover.
According to Olivia, if she gets back in touch with Angelo, then she probably won't be able to let go of him again.

After the meeting ended, and everyone there shook hands, while chatting casually, Angelo who seemed to have finished meeting with important people there, then was seen immediately approaching Olivia.
"I can't wait anymore. I want to talk to you right now," said Angelo, smiling, and holding out one hand, as if he was inviting Olivia to come with him.
"Olivia! ... We have to go now!" said Johan, who had suddenly been near Olivia.
Olivia looked at Angelo and Johan alternately, then stopped her gaze towards Angelo, then said,
"I'm sorry ... But I don't think now is the right time."
Angelo looked disappointed, but he also did not impose his will on Olivia.
"Please wait a minute, sir!" angelo said, looking at Johan.
"Olivia! ... Give me your phone number!" angelo said to Olivia.
But quickly, Johan said,
"We're in a hurry. We have something to do soon."
Johan seems to be blocking Angelo, to get Olivia's contact number.
So that Angelo who was seen still fumbling his suit, as if he was looking for his phone, then stopped moving.
Olivia knows very well what Angelo's characteristics are, and can judge the smile on the man's face, how when Angelo is happy, or when he is upset.
So Olivia knew, that at this time, when Johan seemed to force Olivia to leave immediately with him, the smile that rose on Angelo's face, was his smile to cover up her irritation.
In a hurry, Angelo is seen taking out a business card and giving it to Olivia.
"Be sure to contact me! ... I'll wait for you" said Angelo, slowly.
Olivia, who did not want to make Johan wait any longer, then received the business card, and said goodbye to Angelo.
"Bye, Angelo!" said Olivia.
"Bye, Olivia! ... See you soon!"
After Olivia heard Angelo's words, Olivia immediately walked away with Johan.
Olivia looked back and saw Angelo still looking at her.
Angelo seemed to make a hand gesture, to signal, for Olivia to contact him.
Olivia then continued walking with Johan, without having time to respond to the cue from Angelo earlier.
***
"Where are we going, sir?" asked Olivia, when they arrived at the parking lot of the branch building, and Olivia got into Johan's car.
Johan, who had also gotten into his car, looked at Olivia closely.
"Do you know Angelo is engaged?" Johan does not answer Olivia's question, but rather asks Olivia a new question.
