"Is there anything interesting, that you guys did here yesterday, other than going to a circus show?" ask Jericho.
"Nothing ... We just went shopping. Then last night, we made a barbeque back here" Olivia replied.
"This place is boring ... So, you should cancel your intention, to vacation here," continued Olivia, in a hurry.
Jericho smiled widely, and seemed to be almost laughing, while moving the hammock, in order to keep swinging slowly.
As if he had not listened to Olivia, who refused him to spend any longer in the place, Jericho then continued saying,
"Making a campfire, burning marshmellow, looks like it'll be even more exciting, if we set up a tent."
Olivia shook her head slowly.
"Are you very tired? You can lean back" Jericho said, then slowly pull Olivia's head to rest on her shoulder.
"You don't have to do it, sir," said Olivia, avoiding Jericho's hand.
"Geez! ... What would happen if you leaned back?" jericho.
"You knew? That night, after you left with Angelo, Hansen and I had a chat before I came home" Jericho said.
"In his opinion, the possibility for him to be able to become your lover, it's too small. Because he said, you never called him first, so he knew that you didn't think about him too much....
...Hansen said, when you have the opportunity to talk, you always want to rush to end your conversation. You actually look more excited, if you only talk about business....
... But he also has no regrets. According to him, you are worth the wait. Because you're not like most women, whom he usually meets" Jericho continued.
"I'm sorry, Sir ... But I think you guys are the strangest men I've ever met" Olivia said.
"You think we're weird? What's so weird about us?" jericho asked, linking his eyebrows together, like a confused person.
"Yes, Sir ... Because I can't understand the way people like you, Hansen or Angelo think....
... With what you all have, women will queue up, for a chance, to be able to date you" replied Olivia.
"Hm ... Women like that are not attractive. Goods are easy to get, usually they're less valuable" Jericho said.
Spontaneously, Olivia slapped Jericho's arm, then said in a sullen tone,
"You equate people with goods?"
"Haha!" Although stroking his arm, Jericho can still laugh.
"But it's true, isn't it?" jericho said, pinching Olivia's nose, and Olivia immediately brushed Jericho's hand off her face.
"You must have known, how Angelo and Hansen's ability in business. How they think, so that their business can succeed....
... There is no way you can assume that they are both stupid or strange people. But why, for the sake of getting you, none of them would just give up?" jericho.
"You're a good business opportunity, and it's a pity to be missed by them" Jericho continued, smiling broadly, as if mocking Olivia.
"Don't tease me!" olivia said, ketus, while slapping Jericho's arm, again.
"Pff.ht...! Okay, okay! I'm just kidding!" jericho said, stroking his arm.
"If you were a business, then I really wouldn't be confident, if I had to compete with Angelo and Hansen. To this day, I still lack confidence....
... Which makes me still able to have a little courage, because I now know, if you do not seem to judge someone, only from the outside," continued Jericho.
"Don't be silly, sir! ... Whether you are Hansen or Angelo, it's a waste of time" Olivia said.
"Ugh? ... Is there anyone else you're interested in? Don't tell me you still love Louis" Jericho said.
"Not Louis ... I just think of her as my friend" said Olivia.
"Hm ... It means there is someone else" Jericho said, nodding his head.
"I hope the man you're interested in rejects you. So, inevitably, you should see us again," continued Jericho hurriedly, then smiled widely.
"Geez! ... What's wrong with you, sir?" olivia, ketus.
"Pffit...!" Jericho simply responded to Olivia's annoyance, laughing.
"Would you like a snack or a drink? Let me get it," said Jericho, then climbed down from the top of the hammock.
"Pringles and Cola!"
After Olivia answered Jericho's question, the man walked into the house.
Not long after, he returned with a can of potato chips, and two cans of fizzy drink.
"It!" jericho said, thrusting a can of potato chips into Olivia, and then brought the table closer, to put a can of soft drinks.
When Olivia opened the lid of the potato chips and started eating them, Jericho, who was sitting next to Olivia, said,
"Can I have some?"
Without Olivia answering, Jericho's hand took a little potato chips, and ate them.
But fortunately nothing happened, and Jericho was still casually chewing on the potato chips in his mouth.
"You're resistant to spicy?" ask Olivia, confused.
"Of course! ... I love spicy food" Jericho replied, without a burden.
Olivia did not have time to think about anything else, Jericho said,
"I was thinking stupid Louis. Nice opportunity in plain sight, but he just missed it."
Just as Jericho finished speaking, Johan was suddenly seen through the back door of the house, and approached Olivia and Jericho.
From the look on his face, it seemed that there was something Johan was worrying about, as he walked closer to the hammock, where Jericho and Olivia were.
"Olivia! ... Jerichos! I'm going to xxx town, right now," Johan said.
"Ugh? ... Why the sudden, sir?" ask Olivia.
"What's up, Dad?" ask Jericho.
Apparently, it wasn't just Olivia who was surprised by the itinerary, which was suddenly from Johan.
So Jericho also throws the question, simultaneously with Olivia.
Olivia and Jericho, as well as simultaneously, went down from the hammock, and stood facing Johan.
"Something's going on there. The work that was going on there, was stopped completely for the time being. My assistant just called me, but she also can't be sure what's really going on....
... Tomorrow morning there will be a coordination meeting at the city's branch office, and I will be asked to attend it" Johan replied.
"Jonah's still asleep, so I don't have time to say goodbye. Just tell him, if I'm sorry, for having to leave him out of the blue" Johan continued.
"Good, Sir!" sahut Olivia's.
"Yes" Jericho said.
"I've packed as necessary. So, I'm leaving soon, to catch up with time," Johan said, then turned around and walked towards the back door of the house.
In a hurry, Olivia and Jericho soon followed Johan.
Olivia walks next to Johan, to the outside in the front yard, first.
While Jericho, went to pick up Johan's suitcase from inside the room, only then was seen following along to it.
"Be careful on the road, sir!" said Olivia.
Olivia was really anxious, because Johan was traveling all of a sudden like that. Moreover, the trip to the city that became Johan's destination, was quite far from where they were now.
"Can you tell me if you arrive later? I'm going to turn my phone back on" Olivia continued, in a hurry.
"Of course! ... I'll let you know if I get there" Johan said.
As if he did not care about Jericho there, Johan smiled, then hugged Olivia, then kissed the lighthouse.
"I'm sorry I messed up your vacation" Johan continued, in a whispering voice. "If all the work is done, and you're still here, I'll come here again."
"It's okay, Sir! ... Please be careful, and take care of yourself ... I hope everything will be fine," said Olivia, who also hugged Johan tightly.
"Now! ... I have to go, now!" said Johan.
Johan then took off his embrace from Olivia, and turned his head towards Jericho.
"Jericho! ... Please take care of Olivia and Jonah! Get them to have fun! And don't just piss Olivia off!" johan told Jericho.
"Yes, daddy!" jericho said, making a gesture with his hand, like he was paying respect to Johan.
At once, Olivia almost laughed, when she heard a message from Johan, and saw Jericho's reaction to it.
"Bye, Sir! ... See you soon" said Olivia.
"Bye, daddy! ... See yes!" Jericho.
"Bye, Olivia! ... Jericho!" johan said, smiling.
Johan then gets into his car, where his private driver also seems ready, to take Johan away.
Olivia was still standing in the front yard of the house, looking at Johan's car that passed away, until it was no longer visible at the end of the road.
"Let's go in!" said Jericho, who was also still there, without Olivia noticing, because he thought that Jericho had entered the house first.
While walking slowly, next to Jericho, Olivia's curiosity, made him think hard.
Because according to Olivia, there was something she knew, about the work in the city that Johan was now aiming for.
But he could not remember what made him feel that way.
