Chapter 130 - A man with a mission (1) (1/2)

The tall figure wore a black T-shirt and faded jeans strode straight with a confident and a serious expression on his face. Having Summer running after him, swaying left and right as its short legs not be able to catch up with his daddy's long legs.

Stefan saw his mother's car just disappeared from the front gate. She was taking Wirata to the local market. He saw his bodyguards enjoying themselves and looked relaxed as they were on their holidays.

Stefan stopped in front of them and then sat down on a chair next to the wooden bench where the two were sitting and enjoying their coffee.

”Good morning, boss.” The two greeted the boss.

”What can we do for you, boss?”

Ben asked immediately since the boss shouted that he had a question.

”What question, boss?”

James also asked. The two open their ears up, so ready to listen. The boss looked unsure for a minute.

”The question is ...”

The boss paused and then sighed heavily.

”I don't know. The problem is she's so smart. I don't know how and where to start. ” The boss mumbled.

James and Ben looked at the boss and then looked at each other. They know this time the boss seriously had a big problem. And it was related to the word LOVE with the big L. Anything involved a heart was always a big problem. For Stefan Mackenzie, this was a new and fresh problem that had never happened before.

James stood up and walked to the table behind the bench, picked up a cup to pour out the coffee for the boss. It might help to refresh his brain a little since it was still early and his head might be a bit foggy to think straight and clearly.

”I think whiskey might be better. So my brain can sail smoothly. ”

The boss made a request.

”Um ... I think it's too early for that, boss.” Ben said.

”I agree. Miss Wirata may not like to see you drink in the morning or drink too much.”

James supported his friend to make the boss think. Stefan usually drank when he felt wanted to, but not often.

”Alright. Give me black coffee then.”

Stefan said. James handed the cup to the boss and came back to sit again.

Stefan drank half of the cup. His mind was busy. He was thinking about last night. He had only a few hours of sleep because they had a long conversation. The atmosphere with her last night was different from the previous nights. It was the first time they had opened up their minds and had a proper talk.

He said so much to her. But what he could gather was, she did not accept him yet. She was still counting down the days to leave after nine months. But she seemed to offer him a small opportunity to win her heart.

This woman was no stupid and did not hesitate to state her thoughts and beliefs. Stefan understood if he were in her shoes. No woman would love a man who hurt her feelings since the first day they met. They started their relationship with the wrong impression. But he could not do anything about the past. It was done.

He was not sure how she did it. The way she did not give him any clear answers about everything he asked but still, she made him felt okay with it. She was very cute last night. He liked the way she kissed his chin and his chest and snuggled against his body. He could feel, it was from her true feelings.

He was missing her right now. He wanted to go with them but his mother did not allow. He was not sure if it was the right decision to bring her to see his mother. She was spending her time with his mother more than with him at the moment.

His mother liked her very much as he predicted. Stefan could not help but smile when thinking about the two women he loved.

”Please be careful, boss. Drinking and smiling at the same time as that, you may choke.”

Ben was teasing when seeing that the boss pondering and smiling and drinking at the same time. A minute ago he was wearing a serious expression on his face and now he was smiling and it was like his mind was not here but flying after the car that just gone.

”I love her very much.”

He murmured. His mind was miles away, as far as the car went.

The voice had a hint of a happy-sad feeling, sounded confusing. Ben and James looked at each other back and forth. Communicating with their eyes as usual.

They agreed in silent that, just shut up and listened, for now, don't interfere. The boss was just in the introduction chapter of his story yet.

”The problem is she's counting dowing the days and waiting for the contract to finish and leave me.”

The boss said the same thing as last night. It must be buried deep inside his memory and he could not get rid of it.

”I know what she is thinking. But she seems to want to give me a chance. She told me to think about what I really want. For temporary of for good.  The word 'Forever' is very long. I easily get bored. She asked me to think carefully before going on to say it to her. Because I might be sorry and regret later if I don't think. ”

He copied all the words she spoke last night to his followers. After he finished his long speech, he sighed deeply, again.

Stefan turned to look at his subordinates, saw them stayed silent, listened to him. They glanced at each other the way they usually communicated. Obviously, their last lives, they must have been fighting fish! As they could talk through their eyes.

”Why are you two so quiet? ” The boss asked and started to frown.

Ben and James made eye contact for the ninth round.

”We are listening carefully so that we can think carefully and speak carefully as Miss Wirata suggested, boss.”

James replied. The boss loosened up his knotted eyebrows when hearing his lady's name.

”To solve this problem is not difficult, boss. James is very good in this area. A lot of friends came to him for this specific issue.”

Ben said.

”Really?” Stefan asked with a surprise in his voice.
