48 Months Agreement With CEO
Chef or Partner

"Who are you?" A woman held back Laurent's footsteps about to leave the apartment.

"I ...."

I don't know why Laurent got nervous. For some reason she became a weak woman when dealing with Erick. Laurent seemed to allow himself to receive punishment from Erick, for forcing the man to marry him.

"You're a lover, Brother Erick?" ask the beautiful girl.

Laurent flabbergasted. He twirled the ring in his hand. In his mind overwhelmed with questions, was this beautiful girl Erick's sister? Then who's the woman who goes to the office and feeds Erick now?

"I'm Erick's brother. My name is Jessica, you can call me Jessy" Jessica said.

Laurent smiled gently at Jessica.

"I'm Laurent" he introduced himself.

"Sir Laurent is so beautiful. Come on in, don't be shy. After all, you already know the entry code of this house, so you must have been very familiar with Brother Erick," said Jessy kindly.

"Eh .. that's it."

Laurent realizes that Jessica does not know that she is married to Erick. Laurent's heart felt a little pulsating. So insignificant was he in Erick's eyes, that he didn't tell his family.

"Sister you're very gentle. Sorry if I just got to know you. I have been in Paris for five days. But mommy's on chemoteraphy. So, sorry if I just got to know you," said Jesica gently.

"Strays?" Laurent doesn't even know about Erick's mother. The man did not say a word to her. He did not tell me about his mother's condition. How could she face Erick's mother like this.

"Yes. Mom has breast cancer. He's been in operation in the small town where we live. But, his deteriorating condition, made the brother decide to bring him here." Jessica told me why they went to Paris.

Laurent recalled Erick's words when he said his mother was very sick. And Laurent only realized that he had never asked the man anything about his mother's condition and illness.

"I'm sorry. I'm the less sensitive one. I should have seen you in the hospital, ", Laurent said guiltily.

"It's okay, sister Laurent is beautiful. Seeing your beautiful and gentle self like this, mommy must be happy. Let's go inside. I also meet with Svetlana." Jesica pulls Laurent's hand in.

Laurent followed Jessica into the dining room. There he saw how the expert Svetlana stirred up the contents of the refrigerator to cook something.

Erick helped the woman wash the vegetables. Laurent's heart felt a little sad to see it. If there was anyone else here, they would have thought that Svetlana was Erick's partner.

"Sister Erickkk! Look who's coming."

"Who's Jessy?" erick asked without turning his body.

"Ih, Brother! I have a beautiful girlfriend in umpetin. Should have been introduced to Jessy. Mommy must be happy to hear it too" Jessy grumbled.

Erick stopped his movement. She knew who her sister Jessica meant.

"Now you know him," said Erick still without turning his body.

Svetlana who was grilling the steak, looked at Erick. She was flabbergasted by the reply of the man beside her who was not upset. So the woman who repeatedly runs into him in the office is Erick's lover?

Svetlana turned around and smiled at Laurent. "Hallo I'm Svetlana, Erick's old friend," she said with a sweetest smile.

Laurent smiled, "I'm Laurent."

"Comm ... The steak is only three. Do we need to buy it again, Erick?" ask Svetlana.

"It's okay. Laurent only eats salad at night" Erick replied.

The handsome man turned his body by stirring all the sliced pieces of vegetables in a large bowl. He divided it into four parts on the plate.

This was the first salad Erick made for him. Laurent almost shed a tear. He doesn't know if he should be happy or sad. Because after all, the salad was not made specifically for him.

"Surprised, did you know that my brother cooks well?" Jessica nudged Laurent's shoulder.

"Eh___ yes," replied Laurent stammeringly.

"He's so good. He is a dream man. When did I find one like Erick's brother, for me." Jessica's babbling made Laurent smile.

"What about mommy, she didn't have dinner?" laurent asked, looking at Jessica.

"Mrs Victoria is asleep. He can only eat soft foods. We just picked her up from the hospital." Svetlana's words made Laurent's chest hurt.

"Ooo ...." Laurent answered flat. He ate the salad that Erick poured on him.

"Well, the steak is ripe," Svetlana picked up the steak and sat down next to Erick.

"You're better at cooking Lana" said Jessica.

"Yes dong. I'm an adult. I have to learn to cook to please my husband. Mommy said, the husband will not feel at home with a woman who can not cook." Svetlana proudly praised herself. Svetlana is Jesica's friend and they are the same age.

Laurent smiled wryly at Svetlana's words. Boiling the eggs alone he can't. Especially the steak. It's too hot for Laurent. Suddenly he remembered Mario's words. The man who loves you will accept you for who you are.

"Not really. It all depends on how a couple can appreciate each other. If he likes a wife who can cook, just marry a chef" Laurent said.

"Hahhahah .. You're right too." Jessica laughed at Laurent's words.

"But at least a wife should be able to cook for her husband" Svetlana argued again.

"Maybe. But it all depends on the man. He wants a wife who acts as a chef or as a partner." This time Laurent was more decisive.

"It has. Don't worry about that sort of thing. It's eat." Erick mediates a debate between Laurent and Svetlana.

"Ah, Sister so sweetttt," cried Jessica amazed.

Laurent stared at the plate Erick was pointing at him. He did not expect that the man was busy chopping up the steak, becoming a small feed and giving it to Laurent. The woman thinks Erick doesn't care.

"Thank you. But, it's too much for me" Laurent said.

"Eat. If you're done, give me the rest."

Laurent looked at Erick in disbelief. The beautiful woman was happy with Erick's attention. He ate a few slices of steak and gave a large portion to Erick.

Svetlana who saw him could only pursed her lips. He looked at his steak who lived a quarter. If only he hadn't eaten that steak, he would have given Erick his share.

"Well, if you're done eating. Put the plate down, let me do the laundry," Jessica said.

When Laurent passed the empty plate to Jessica, Svetlana suddenly asked.

"Are you a widow, Laurent?"
