Gentleman Dignity
Chapters 1.7

Deer Eye (Christian Geoff)

.

.

Chris was right, something happened to Vania. Chris didn't ask either. Chris does not want to be considered too curious about the personal affairs of his employees.

Yesterday he only drove Vania to live in his apartment unit, which he did not occupy. The process is too long if they are looking for a new apartment. Vania also said she would pay the rent. Chris just agreed that he and his secretary did not argue.

Chris glanced at Vania with his tail. He was very quiet today. Even when they sit on the plane.

"So today you booked at which hotel?" chris asked him to break the silence. Vania oddly did not answer.

Chris turned to face the girl and looked at her, no longer just with the corner of his eye. Chris studied the flat expression of Vania.

"Mrs ...." Call Chris slightly patting his shoulder slowly.

Vania was shocked and stuttered. Sure enough, he was daydreaming earlier.

"I-i-yes... Sir... why?" stuttering Vania.

"Hotels. You have booked a hotel to stay" explained Chris again.

"Hotel?"

"Mrs ...." Chris called him slow. It knew from Nia's expression that she had prepared nothing before they flew.

"Sorry sir.later after getting off Nia directly booking her hotel."

Vania feels stupid, she can be very careless. Vania grimaced away from Chris' incredulous gaze.

Chris was about to open his mouth to rebuke Vania. As long as he's been with her, Vania has never done anything like this. Chris sighed before calming himself down. And choose to sleep.

.

When they landed Nia was busy here and there looking for a taxi. If Nia has booked a hotel room, she usually asks to be picked up at the airport. But since he had forgotten, he finally had to fuss like this. His hands were busy pushing his big suitcase and Chris, running around in his heels.

Chris sighed again before finally grasping the girl's hand. Vania was confused, because suddenly her Boss was stopping her. Chris shook his head before pulling Vania to sit down.

"Your legs must have been blisters from earlier running here and there," said Chris almost kneeling if Vania did not prevent it.

"I'm fine, sir. It's my fault sir."

"okay ...." Chris stood in front of Vania who clearly looked confused and scared.

"Wait here" said Chris at last. Vania was already going to debate him again before Chris gave her a silent look. Although Chris is a good boss, but who will not be reluctant to their boss. Vania finally complies, she opens her shoes as Chris leaves. Sure enough, his leg was scuffed and it was very painful.

Chris came over not long after, glancing at Vania's scuffed legs.

"The evidence is there, you can walk, right?"

"Can Sir." Vania answered too quickly while standing up. Grimacing when feeling pain in his leg.

Chris looks at Vania and is a little worried, but ends up pushing his suitcase and Vania's also towards the taxi. Vania followed without much talking while limping along.

One that Vania is grateful for, times have changed and everything has become more sophisticated and easy. Vania can quickly book two rooms in a four-star hotel close to their meeting place with clients. So when he got into the cab, he already knew where they should go. Vania finally saw Chris smile again.

.

.

Vania threw her tired body on the soft hotel mattress. He groaned feeling the pain in his scuffed leg, the area above that heel. Vania actually wanted to fall asleep, but she had to prepare her work. So he took a shower and unpacked his suitcase. He did not bring any other shoes, sighing at last wearing his comfortable clothes. The shorts that were sunk in his oversize t-shirt. Just as the door of his room was knocked.

Vania opens the door for her boss. Who else would've knocked on the door if it wasn't Chris.

Chris was speechless, looking at Vania rather astonished. He is indeed ordinary if the service outside the city or meeting outside the city with Vania. And once they get to the hotel Chris always goes to Vania's room to discuss their work. But it's the first time Chris has seen Vania in pajamas. Usually he doesn't change clothes until they're done.

"Sir Chris?" call Vania who has shifted so Chris can enter her room.

"Hm ...Nia... You can prepare my own draft yes," said Chris trying to look right into Vania's face only.

"Why is it, sir?" asked Vania with a confused face. Chris never told her to prepare her draft meeting alone.

"Hm .... " Chris smiled. Confused how to explain this awkward situation he felt. She often sees Vania in a short skirt that is the same length as the shirt she wears. I don't know why this time it feels different.

"Yes ...." Chris answered briefly. Replied the short nod of Vania.

"I stay yes," said Chris stiffly, turning around to leave. Still amazed by his secretary. Vania looked at Chris with a strange look. He bit his lower lip. His heart skipped a beat, and sweat dripped down his back.

.

.

Chris finally chose to go into his room again and rest. What did he do just now? He should just go in and work with Vania. Maybe the girl is really tired and wants to change clothes immediately with comfortable clothes. It means nothing.

Chris gulped his saliva again, a shadow of Vania appearing before his eyes. Her innocent face without make up and her hair in the midget was a bit messy. Her tiered neck and collarbone peeking at the collar of her loose t-shirt.

"Crazy" Chris muttered as he ruffled his hair. And choose to go to the bathroom to take a shower. Plan to sleep until the meeting time arrives.

Sugar (Jericho Adam)

.

Yericho secured his body in his work chair. It feels very tired, today's consultation schedule is quite solid. Yericho looked at his cell phone. A lot of messages came in, but only one name stole his attenuation.

Alexa sent him a message. Ask him if he can use the money Yericho gave or not. Yericho frowned in wonder. Why should the girl ask.

Yericho finally tried to contact the girl. But Alexa didn't pick up her phone. Then finally choose to reply to Alexa messages.

Just use the money.

.

.

Alexa was shocked when her new phone vibrated. He saw Daddy Yericho on the screen. But he could not lift it because he was in class. Not long after he received a short message.

Alexa smiled slightly as she read it. He was determined not to expect anything from Yericho but still reading the short message made Alexa a little disappointed.

Her dad gave her everything Alexa needed yesterday. From the smallest to the largest. Alexa even lives in a pretty fancy apartment. When he said that a dorm was enough, Yericho raised an eyebrow. And somehow Alexa knows. That's not something he should argue about.

But Yericho hasn't touched her at all. That made Alexa think maybe her thoughts about sugar dating were wrong. It's not always about physical relationships. Alexa doesn't have any leads. And don't know who to ask. He sighed and began to focus on learning again.

.

.

Alexa was struggling to carry her many groceries. Take the elevator to the apartment unit. Open the door with difficulty. And when the door opens. Alexa smiled at the men's work shoes perched neatly on the shoe rack.

Alexa keeps her groceries next to a shoe rack, before changing her slippers and entering her apartment.

Alexa slightly stared at Yericho staring at the large glass window. Alexa might just look at her Daddy from behind. But somehow Yericho is that interesting.

Alexa ran a little before slamming into Yericho's back which soared a little in shock.

'Daddy's coming?"

"Hmm .. I didn't know you'd look this happy" Yericho half joked.

"Sleeping here by yourself is a bit scary. Maybe because Alexa's been sleeping in one room only for a long time." Alexa didn't mean to complain or sulk she was just trying to be honest.

"You're just not used to it. Later also fear of missing," replied Yericho while stroking Alexa's arm that was coiled around his waist.

"Daddy set up?" ask Alexa carefully.

"No. I accompany you until late. I just got home."

"Oh ..." reply Alexa was a bit disappointed. But not long after that smile again.

"Daddy want to take a shower?" alexa asked a little timidly on Yericho's back.

Yericho chuckled at hearing that. I don't know why Alexa sounds so sweet.

"Come," replied Yericho calmly. But welcome Alexa's fast heartbeat. Didn't expect Yericho to answer like that.
