Yup! I Love You, Sir!
The Part 73
The sudden arrival of Jericho at Hansen's restaurant, according to Olivia, was most likely because it was Hansen, who informed him of Olivia and Angelo's whereabouts, to Jericho.
Angelo almost turned around, to see what had caught Olivia's attention, but Olivia immediately distracted Angelo, saying,
"I wonder, how long are you planning to stay in this city?"
"Hm ... Do you want me to leave immediately?" Angelo asked, while putting the fork he was holding onto the plate.
"I just want to know. Because I can't believe you're going to hold on, to stay in the hotel for a long time" replied Olivia.
While chatting with Angelo, occasionally, Olivia stole a glance in the direction where Jericho was standing.
At that time, Jericho seemed to have turned around, and walked away, even though he had nowhere to go, because he did not lead to the exit of the restaurant.
"I rented a Suite Room, so I could feel like I was in college ... But maybe it would be better, if I look for an apartment, which is near your apartment later," said Angelo.
"Are you kidding me?" olivia said, could not hide her shock. "What about your job?"
"I don't have to work behind a desk, because I don't take care of my family's airline directly, because there's still my daddy handling it....
...I'm just concentrating on taking care of Sullivan's investment group. That way, I can check the job report from my laptop. Only at certain times, so I might be asked to attend a meeting....
... It is not only held in one city, or in one company. I can stay in this city. Later, when my existence is needed, then I need to travel," replied Angelo.
"Hm ... Since you brought it up, I came to think, how about I buy an apartment close to your office?
... I can buy two apartments next to each other, so that you can also live there, close to me," continued Angelo, as if without burden.
"You don't have to do it. I'm comfortable in my current apartment" Olivia said.
"Honey! ... Wouldn't it be better if you had a place to live close to your office?" ask Angelo.
"Yes, of course it would be better. But I don't want you to buy it. If I feel that I really need it, then I'll buy it myself" Olivia replied.
"Nrt! ... After all the years that have passed, you have not changed at all ... Actually your materialistic nature is good....
... But can't you, if you ever accept my gift, without feeling burdened? Every now and then, I want you to be able to lean on me." Angelo looked disappointed, as she said that to Olivia.
"I'm sorry, if it just disappointed you ... But I can't get rid of that habit of mine, just like that" Olivia said.
"Huuufft...!" Angelo gave a rude snort, then returned a smile. "It's okay, honey!"
***
Until Olivia and Angelo had finished their dinner, and were getting ready to leave the restaurant, Jericho was still nowhere to be seen.
Thus, Olivia could breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that things were still under control, and nothing would happen next.
Because in the meantime, Olivia still can not convince Angelo, and of course the situation will not be beneficial for anyone, if Jericho or Hansen, try to tease Angelo.
But, again, Olivia's guess tonight, seems to miss.
Before Olivia and Angelo left the table, suddenly, one of the waiters came to their table, and said that Angelo and Olivia, invited Hansen to go to his room.
"I was tired, and wanted to go home soon," said Olivia, reasoned, because she felt that something was wrong, from Hansen's invitation.
"Hm ... Then, you wait here for a moment, let me meet him myself—" Angelo's words were immediately interrupted by Olivia, saying, saying, ''Let me see,
"No! ... Don't you do it!"
At once, Angelo's facial expression showed his surprise, over Olivia's sudden behavior to hold him back.
"What's wrong? Why don't you, if I go see Hansen?" angelo asked, seeming to suspect something.
"Do you really have to leave me here alone, just to meet him?" said Olivia, who was trying to get rid of Angelo's suspicions.
"Pff.ht...! You don't want me to leave you alone, even for a few minutes?" angelo said, laughing.
Olivia hurriedly nodded her head.
"Caterina! ... Then you better come with me. I won't be long, because I just want to appreciate the invitation" Angelo said.
Olivia slips.
And Olivia no longer knows, whether with her accompanying Angelo, to go to meet Hansen, is something good or vice versa.
But Olivia also can not refuse Angelo's invitation, because most likely, it will only make Angelo even more suspicious.
Inevitably, Olivia goes with Angelo, heading to Hansen's study, which is inside the restaurant.
Plus, Jericho might be there with Hansen right now.
Not wrong anymore. When the door to Hansen's office, opened by the waiter who delivered Olivia and Angelo, was inside, Hansen and Jericho were standing there.
"Jericho?" From the tone of his voice, Angelo was not like greeting Jericho, but sounded as if he felt astonished, with Jericho there with Hansen.
"Hello, Angelo!" jericho said, with a stiff face.
But unlike Jericho, Hansen looked fixedly at Angelo with a big smile, which Olivia could not understand, what Hansen's smile meant.
"Hello, Angelo!" hello Hansen.
"Hello, Hansen! ... Jericho!" sahut Angelo, who also omitted his formality in speaking.
"I consider my invitation here, meaning it is not for official business. But only for personal matters, right?" continued Angelo.
"Iya—" Hansen seemed to still want to say something, but Angelo immediately grabbed Olivia's waist, then interrupted Hansen, saying, saying,
"I'm sorry ... But I don't think now is the right time. My lover is tired, and I want to take him home soon to rest."
This time, both Hansen and Jericho, both seemed unable to hide their surprise, until the faces of the two men looked stiff, with their eyes widened.
But the look on Hansen's face immediately returned to its original state, and developed a wide smile, while still staring at Angelo and Olivia.
"You've got to be kidding! ... I think Olivia doesn't think of you as her lover anymore" Hansen said, sounding relaxed. "Call right, Olivia?"
Olivia did not have time to answer Hansen's question, and could only be silent, because Angelo had spoken first.
"Hansen! ... Don't tell me you're interested in my woman" Angelo said.
"Of course! ... Who wouldn't be interested in him? You yourself are still obsessed with him, even if he rejects you ... Hmphh! ... How pathetic!" sahut Hansen's.
From the way he spoke to his words, Hansen seemed to be very dismissive of Angelo, until Olivia felt like she was going to fall unconscious right then and there.
Because according to Olivia, of course Hansen's behavior, will certainly trigger Angelo's anger.
"I'm pathetic, you say? ... Pfft...! I think it's you who's like that. Because you even need a friend as a support, just to deal with me."
With a style that is no less trivial, Angelo spoke to Hansen, and as if Angelo was referring to Jericho who was there.
"You've got all wrong! ... I don't support anyone, because I like Olivia too. And I don't like the way you force it" Jericho said.
It seems that it was not only Olivia who was surprised, with the blatant recognition from Jericho, because Hansen and Angelo, simultaneously looked towards Jericho.
In that instant, the room became silent for some time, as everyone who was there, was completely silent.
"Pff.ht...! Ahaha!" Suddenly, Angelo laughed.
"You've got to be kidding! ... I think I can tolerate Hansen, because he's single, and his business looks good. But, you?
... A widower has one child, and dreams of becoming Olivia's lover? ... Haha! ... Jerichos! Shame on you!" angelo.
Angelo seemed to really underestimate Jericho, so he could not stop laughing.
As if no one thought, Angelo would say that, so Olivia, Hansen and Jericho, both just fell silent.
"Oh, gosh! ... Olivia! ... Honey! ... Don't tell me that Jericho approached you, and then sought your attention, by making his son a shield, so that you would consider it" Angelo said.
"Don't you try to take my son!" Jericho.
"Angelo! Stop it! You've been too late!" said Olivia.
At that time, Jericho and Olivia spoke simultaneously, with an equally elevated tone of voice, to stop Angelo's humiliation.
"I got you!" angelo seemed excited, as if he had received recognition from Jericho and Olivia, although they did not say so frankly.
"Jericho! ... You took advantage of Olivia's pity, so that she would pay attention to your whereabouts? ... You're really embarrassing, and have no self-respect!" angelo said, furious.
It was clear in Angelo's face that he was completely disturbed and very upset with Jericho.
"Angelo...! Please, stop it...!" olivia said, squeezing, while holding Angelo's hand tightly.
"I already told you, honey! ... If there is a man who tries to approach you, by using the goodness of your heart, then I will not forgive him....
... So, wait and see! ... Because Jericho Andersen, driving Andersen's Construction, is closing in on the brink of collapse" said Angelo, who still appeared furious.
