"I want to go home," said Gloria softly, making me chuckle with her sentence.
"Where to?"
"My husband's house!"
"Are you kidding me? Your husband and I made a deal in black and white, you can't go home. Besides, you've only been here for less than half an hour, why go home?"
The woman snorted softly, I went from the sofa to the mini bar which was not far from my seat before.
I poured wine into the glass. "Would you like a drink?" I'm bargaining with Gloria.
Gloria threw away her face with a soft snort, not answering my offer.
I smiled faintly at him, I knew he was angry, maybe even had a fight with Richard before arriving here. Mabe.
I gently shake the glass with the wine I had poured, inhale the aroma of the drink deeply, then sip it slowly while watching Gloria who looked upset.
How not, I asked Jared immediately to take care of a letter related to Richard's wishes about the real estate project that the man was after. Not until two days everything is ready to be taken care of. In exchange, Richard drove his wife to my apartment address without me asking. Funny right?
"I don't know what to say about your husband, even if he complies with my offer and agrees to our deal on this barter, but in my eyes he looks disgusting" I said.
Gloria got up from her seat, she was looking at me. "From the beginning, you shouldn't have had to make him this kind of offer. Makes me like a barter!" said firmly.
I looked at Gloria softly. "This is where I was wrong, but I didn't expect Richard to agree to even hand his wife over to me just for the sake of a project!"
I walked to the room in the apartment. The room that had been a silent witness as Gloria and I spent the night doing nothing at all.
"I'm tired, I want to sleep. If you want to sleep too, use the other room!" I said in passing.
"Oh yes, think of your husband's actions! Do you think a man like him deserves your love?" ask me before actually leaving in front of the woman.
Gloria looked silent, I let her go tonight because I didn't want any coercion between us. Let her think about how disgusting Richard she admits to being her husband is.

By morning, I woke up and immediately prepared to put on my clothes. Although I am the superior but I cannot exemplify the undisciplined attitude of all my subordinate staff in the office - by arriving late. I have to arrive on time.
I'm surprised I didn't play when I found a woman in my apartment kitchen this morning. Feeling, I didn't contact the janitor or hire a maid to cook.
Who is the woman in front of the stove?
I just remembered that Gloria was staying at my apartment. He was too pretty for the size of a janitor, because the job was not worth it for him. She is better suited to be an adult magazine model or hot movie star. Ah shit, it's still morning why my mind has been traveling!
I was stunned for a while, when I heard the voice of the woman singing quietly, it seems that she was enjoying the role of being a chef in my apartment while singing cheerfully.
To be honest, I'm happy to see her like this, she looks happy, not like yesterday when she arrived at my apartment - her face is always bent, but now my heart is warmed to see and hear this kind of thing, she said, it was as if Gloria was being herself.
"Morning.." chirped me and it managed to resuscitate Gloria from her cooking activities, then it also made her stop singing.
The woman looked at me briefly. "Morning.." she replied slowly.
"You cook?" I approached her, watching what she was doing from a closer distance.
"Y-yes, I thought you were going to work so...."
"Thank you," cut me off quickly while stroking the tip of his head. I don't know why I do that, reflexes either.
"Em, you're not mad because I took the groceries out of your fridge?" gloria asked with a reddened face, very adorable.
"It's okay.You can assume this is your home. Do whatever you like here, hmmm?"
I was sitting at the dinner table, it turns out there was coffee that I'm sure Gloria had provided.
"Thanks, Owen.." said Gloria at last.
I smiled a little, glad to hear him say my name again.
"Is this my coffee?"
"Yes, drink up. I don't know what your coffee taste is but-"
"Enak" I answered honestly after sipping his coffee.
"Is your cooking ready? Can I taste it?"
Gloria turned back and looked at me from her position still behind the stove.
"A ready. Hold on," said Gloria. He was also busy moving food from the pan into the container. Take it with him and present it in front of me.
"Indonesian fried rice?" I said I couldn't believe the breakfast he had served.
Gloria nodded, picked up the plate and spooned the fried rice and gave it to me.
"You ever eat this?"
"Sure" I answered honestly. When in Indonesia this food I met a lot and became one of my favorite foods.
"Alright, please taste it." said Gloria began to open the apron she had been wearing since.
I ate while occasionally glancing at her at a glance, her innocent face without her make-up did not detract from the natural beauty she had. Oh my... why do I always praise him in my heart lately?
I shouldn't have done such a thing, even though I cherish Gloria as a woman, but she's nothing more than an object for my sheer pleasure so that I can forget the past.
"What's delicious?"
I'm nodding. "Actually I'm not used to this kind of rice breakfast, but it's delicious. Can you bring me some lunch?"
Gloria smiled slightly. "But it'll be cold by noon."
"No problem" I answered honestly.
"Are you not ashamed to bring supplies from home?" gloria's Kekesh. I'm glad he started acting like this in front of me.
"No, I'll show it to Jared later."
Gloria chuckles at my answer.
"Well, I'll bring it to Jared too" he said, rising from his seat.
_
"You see Jared, he brought me provisions." I actually showed Jared that thing at the office.
Jared looked faintly shook his head, I don't know what the man was thinking, I don't care.
"Here, he also wrapped it up for you." I handed over the package for. Jared's.
"Send my thanks to Miss Gloria."
"Yes." I answered briefly.
"Em, Mister.."
"Otherwise?"
"Are you serious about this? Aren't you afraid of getting caught up in this game?"
"You mean?"
Jared breathed heavily. "I'm just afraid you're really in love with Miss Gloria, while she's Mr. Jensen's wife" she said.
"If that's the case, then don't stop me from taking her from her husband."
I can see Jared scratching his own nape, maybe my answer makes him riled up.
"Are you going to get caught up in this kind of scandal, sir?"
I shrugged my shoulders. "You just pray, I hope I'll just make Gloria just like the other women downstream in my life!" jumawa.
"Why am I not sure, sir!" grouse Jared.
I only chuckled in response to the grunts of my assistant.
