Chapter 102 - Caring for you (3) (1/2)

Wirata opened her eyes, let out a sigh of relief. He did not introduce her to the new lady which she wasn't surprised. She was nobody and definitely was not that important to him. And if in any case, he decided to introduce her, what would he tell the beautiful woman who Wirata was? His temporary high-escort for one year?

Wirata leaned against the back of the sofa. Thinking about the past that she used to wear a suit and acted like a professional office worker. That time she was so proud of herself to work in the field that she loved. She liked to use her given brain and two hands to earn the living proudly with dignity.

Now that pride was gone. For a moment she felt sad. But immediately hurled off those negative thoughts. She felt her head hurt more and her bones ached so she decided to try to rest by leaning her back against the couch, grabbed a cushion to hug and then closed her eyes.

When they reached the elevator. Stefan stopped and turned to Melissa.

”I forgot something in my office. Please follow Ben and James, I will meet you in the conference room.”

He said to her. Ben pressed the elevator to open and invited Melissa to get inside. So she did not have a choice but to step in.

In Ben's mind, he knew the boss did not forget anything because all the folders from the table were in Ben's arms right now!

Stefan opened the office door and walked in. He saw the slender figure sitting on the couch closing her eyes. He walked straight towards her and bent down to kiss on her forehead. Wirata opened her eyes from drowsiness because of the analgesic effect. She blinked, was surprised to see him came back.

”Why don't you lie down. Make yourself comfortable. Wait for me here. I will try my best not to stay away for long.”

He said with a gentle voice. He helped her to lay on the soft couch, put the cushion under her head. Wirata smiled wearingly at him and nodded. He bent down and kissed on her cheek then walked out of the room again.

After the meeting, Stefan got a telephone call from his father. He had an order for Stefan to have Melissa at the Las Vegas branch office! Stefan had no idea why.

His father said that because his branch had worked hard and did a brilliant job for many years. Melissa wanted to learn from him so that she could apply the method to her company in the future to make it better and more successful.

Michael Mackenzie put down the phone after finishing talking to his eldest son. He had a plan in his head by sending Melissa to Stefan for them to get to know each other. Michael had thought that his eldest son was ready for another step of his successful life.

It was time for a grown man to settle down and build a family. He believed that Melissa was suitable for Stefan. They used to be friends and Michael also knew that Stefan used to like this young woman. Therefore, if everything went well according to his plan. The Mackenzie would hold a big event called a wedding ceremony very soon.

”My father said to welcome you to stay at our hotel.”

Stefan told Melissa when they were walking back to his office.

Melissa nodded to acknowledge. She knew that Stefan was living in the penthouse on the top of that hotel.

”Do you drive here? Where are you staying?”

Stefan asked. He did not know how she got here. In fact, he did not pay any attention at all since when she had arrived from Boston and where she was staying at the moment.

”No. I took a taxi here as I don't know the roads in Las Vegas yet. I am staying in a hotel not far from your hotel. My suitcases are there. You'll pass my hotel on the way back. So can you give me a lift?”

Melissa asked.

”Sure. ”

he said. They reached the front of his office. He slowly pushed the door open. Seeing the slim figure lying and sleeping on the couch. She must have heard the door opened so she startled and opened her eyes slowly, using the back of her hand to rub her eyes like a small child. She hurried to sit up when she saw them came into the room.

Stefan couldn't help but smile a little. She tried to tidy up her hair. Her face was a bit red and she blinked rapidly to wake herself up fully.

”Ben, take Melissa to her hotel.”

Stefan said to his bodyguard. Then he turned to Melissa.

Melisa, Ben will take you there and he will wait for you to check out. Please take all your suitcases to our hotel. My people will get a room ready for you.”
