Before Jericho touched her again, Olivia regained her senses, immediately stopping Jericho's movements.
"Please, Sir! ... Do you know what you're going to do?" olivia said, shaking her head.
"Yes, of course!" jericho Sahut.
"Oh, gosh!" olivia said, frustrated.
"Olivia! You can't hide it from me. I can feel that you actually like me, even though it may not be that big, and want me to be your lover....
... But I'll make sure that from now on, you'll just see me. And there will be no time, to consider other men. So that eventually, you will really fall in love with me" said Jericho, who looked convinced.
Olivia slips.
"Geez, Sir! ... How can you think like that?" olivia asked, in disbelief, what she had just heard.
"I'm sure that you must be upset, because of the contents of my messages at that time, right? Since you thought I sent it to you, it was only because of Hansen....
... But imagine, what if I just said right away that I like you?" jericho.
It is true, said Jericho, because Olivia was very disturbed when reading messages from Jericho at that time, because Olivia did not understand where to go.
But ... Is it possible, if all this time, Olivia had unknowingly liked Jericho?
Olivia's head seems to be erupting at this time, because there are so many things that she must think about at once.
"Olivia! ... You can't dodge. I know that you must like—"
Listening to only a part of it, Olivia knew what Jericho was trying to say, until Olivia interrupted Jericho, saying,
"Please, Sir...! Do you realize what you're talking about right now?"
"Of course!" jericho Sahut.
"Then did you forget Angelo? And what could he possibly do? Don't you feel worried? Please stop—"
This time, it was Olivia who couldn't finish her sentence, because Jericho interrupted her first, saying,
"Olivia! ... Who do you think I am? Do you think that I could be easily intimidated by Angelo?"
"The sir! ... To be honest, I can't afford to think about romance right now. Especially with the risk, which allows people who will be injured because of it....
... Therefore, I do not want to involve anyone, in between my problems with Angelo. I was very aware that I had to overcome Angelo, alone," Olivia said.
"I'm sorry, Sir ... But I think our conversation was more than enough. I have to go home now ... Excuse me!" continued Olivia.
Olivia then stood up from her seat, intending to return to her apartment immediately.
But Jericho then seemed to hurriedly hold Olivia, while asking Olivia a series of questions, saying,
"What do you plan to do, to overcome Angelo's desire? Are you going to sacrifice yourself? Will you come back to him, even if you don't want him anymore?"
"I don't know yet what to do now. But I guess you don't have to think about it. Especially to feel burdened, because of it....
... I am quite sorry, for having told you, about all these things ... I'm sorry, Sir!" olivia, then turned around, and walked towards the door.
Quickly, before Olivia could open the door, Jericho had hugged her from behind, and held back Olivia's movements.
"You've got to be kidding! ... Do you think that I would allow you to sacrifice yourself to satisfy Angelo's desire?" jericho.
"Please, Sir ... Just leave me alone! I don't want anyone to get hurt, because of me," said Olivia, trying to get Jericho's embrace off her.
"Olivia! You don't have to worry about that. Because I'm not afraid, to confront Angelo. I was afraid, if I had to lose you" Jericho said.
"Huuufft...!" Olivia grunts violently.
"I will immediately submit my resignation letter, tomorrow. So I guess you shouldn't expect much from me" Olivia said.
"Don't you dare! ... You hear me? You're gonna stop working? Are you planning to get away from me? Where are you going?
... Olivia! Can't you consider, how do I feel? So what about Jonah? What if he wants to see you?"
It was as if he could read all of Olivia's thoughts, so Jericho didn't seem to be giving up.
Jericho even brought Jonah along as the reason, in order for Olivia not to take action, which Jericho might have considered reckless.
At once, Olivia felt that she was really stupid, because she who had let go, to tell one part of her plan, to go away, by stopping working at Jericho and Johan's company.
Johan ... Suddenly, Olivia's chest ached as she recalled Johan, as if she had made a mistake with Johan right now.
Oh, gosh!
Has Olivia fallen for Johan? So that Olivia could feel like she had betrayed him?
Olivia still has to focus her mind, to solve her problems with Angelo, even though Olivia has to do everything she can.
"The sir! ... I have to go home. It's getting late now. It would be inappropriate if I still stayed here" Olivia said.
Jericho did not immediately respond to Olivia's words, and instead felt tightened his embrace, while leaning his face, on one side of Olivia's shoulder.
"Sir...?" olivia said again.
"Caterina! ... But you have to promise me that I can still see you in the office. You can't just stop working....
...If you try to disappear, then I will challenge Angelo first. If necessary, I'll even tell Hansen....
... So that you can see for yourself, if none of us are afraid to get hurt," Jericho said, as if he were saying the last threat, which he could think of.
"Huuufft...!" Olivia grunts violently.
"Okay, Sir! ... But I have to go home. So, can you let me go now?" olivia.
"Do you not want to stay here? I'm worried, just in case Angelo has found your place" Jericho said.
"The sir! ... You must be kidding! ... Although Angelo found my place, but I think he will never hurt me" Olivia said.
"In my opinion, it would be better if I went home alone. So if Angelo was spying on me, he wouldn't be paying attention to you" Olivia continued.
"I'll still drive you. I don't want you to take a cab, when it's night like this."
As if it would not accept, if Olivia was going to try to resist it, Jericho grabbed Olivia by the waist, and carried her walking with her out of the room.
"The sir! ... I will not run away. You can let me walk on my own" Olivia said.
"Do you prefer if I carry you?" jericho asked, putting on a serious look.
"Tsk!" Olivia clucked in annoyance, but she did not want to say anything more, and only followed Jericho's steps.
***
In front of Olivia's apartment building, as if she didn't want to just walk away, Jericho still held Olivia down while saying,
"Please call me right away, if you feel like something's wrong."
"Yes, Sir ... You can go home now. Be careful on the road. Thanks for everything!" olivia said, then prepared to go inside her apartment building.
"Bye, Olivia! ... See you soon!" jericho.
Olivia nodded her head. "Bye, Sir!"
After Jericho walked away, Olivia looked to and fro, in whichever direction her vision could reach.
Olivia really hoped that no one would spy on her movements, which could put Jericho in a dangerous situation.
As soon as she felt sure that there was nothing out there, Olivia walked in, and into her apartment.
Looking at the ceiling of her room, lying on her back on her bed, Olivia could barely stop thinking.
Why did Angelo have to go back to the country, and force Olivia to come back to him?
Is it possible, if Olivia can make Angelo understand, that Olivia does not want to be her lover again?
But ... Is that what Olivia really wants?
Or maybe, Olivia did not want to re-establish her relationship with Angelo, just because it was affected by Johan?
Johan ... What does Olivia really want from her? Does Olivia love him?
Or just because Johan, who can be a comfortable resting place for Olivia, until Olivia starts to feel dependent on him?
Later, Jericho also expressed interest in Olivia, and even tried to make Olivia feel confident, that Olivia also liked her.
To the extent that, Jericho has dared to kiss Olivia without her permission, and does not apologize to Olivia.
Olivia covered her mouth with a pillow, then screamed as she pleased. "Aarrrgh!"
"Hansen, Johan, Jericho, then Angelo ... Why did all this have to happen to me, at the same time?" Olivia grumbled to herself.
"Will there be anything worse than this again? I just want to work quietly. Then get a lover, who can love me...,
... lead a happy life together with me forever. Then why did it turn out like this?"
Olivia satisfied her frustration, constantly grumbling inside her room.
