"Jared, have you investigated who's the woman close to Richard?"
Jared was silent for a while, then whispered in my ear.
"What?" I can't believe what Jared said.
"I'm still investigating it further, sir."
"Sia lan! It was only fitting that he did not consider his wife at all!" I smiled cunningly, for some reason now what was in my mind just wanted to get Gloria completely. At least I already knew that Richard was actually cheating on his wife.
It's been three days that Gloria and I have been living together in my apartment. I didn't want to force him, I freed him to think and I still gave him time to get used to our togetherness.
So far I have not been bored with this game. Yeah, yeah, the game hasn't even started yet. There's no skinship between me and Gloria, that's the truth. But, the time deal Richard gave me kept going as the real estate project went. If the project is finished and my relationship with Gloria is not progressing, obviously I am the one who loses the most.
On the other hand, Gloria always whined to go home to Richard, making me sometimes surprised by him. Didn't her husband treat her like this? Why would he want to be with Richard? Does he love that guy so much?
"Owen, Richard was wrong, but I was his wife anyway. It's not good that I stay here with you. My place is my husband's house. If Richard won't pick me up here, at least you'll let me go home, okay?" Gloria came back to beg me when I just arrived at the apartment.
I looked at him lazily. "Glo, I give you freedom doesn't mean I let you go home." I said quietly, I don't know why I'm afraid to hurt her heart.
I didn't think Gloria was resting on my feet, making me stunned by this attitude.
"I don't have anyone in this country, I only have Richard. Please, I want to go home!" please, while crying.
I'm so full of seeing him, he doesn't know what Richard's doing out there. I wanted to tell her but I didn't want to see her hurt.
I helped Gloria stand up, held her shoulders together, stared into her clear black net and tried to convince her.
"You're wrong! You still have me here. Relax, Glo! I'm not gonna hurt you. I promise...." I don't know why that sentence just slid from my mouth. His intention was to convince him, but I got stuck with a pretty heavy promise and I said it myself to him.
Gloria smothered her face full of tears, with a swift response I grabbed her body, bringing her into my arms. He sobbed there.
"I know you're hit with Richard's attitude, right?" I said stroking her fine hair mane. He nodded in my chest. I'm glad he didn't turn down my arms, I just wanted him to be comfortable with this, just like I was calm when he was in my arms. Can this go on for a while?
A few seconds from my mind, at that moment Gloria seemed to be aware of the situation.
"Sorry..." Gloria's inching, away from my body.
And me? I don't know why I was disappointed by his rejection. Whys?
"What do you want to eat, Owen? I'll cook for you, you'll be tired all day long working" he said, wiping his cheeks still soaked by his own tears.
I'm shaking. "I'm not letting you here to make you my cook or maid."
"What's wrong, at least I'm useful to you. So, it's not in vain that I'm here."
I laughed softly. "You should know better what you're doing here, Glo!" sindirku.
Gloria pitted, looking at me with a glazed net. "I know, you want something else."
"Yes, you're smart. You should know what I want." I opened the knot of the tie I was still wearing since then, then walked towards my room in an indifferent manner.
"Then why don't you force me to do it?"
Gloria's words stopped me.
"I don't like coercion. I want you to be ready for me, then I'll do it!" I answered, shaking my shoulder.
Gloria looked silent, and I went into the bathroom and cleaned up. However, before doing that I turned around and looked at her.
"I want to take a shower, you get ready.I want to take you out to dinner tonight," I said, shuffling her hair at a glance.
Gloria looked at me, I don't know what the meaning of her gaze was, but what I caught from her eyes was a beam of happiness. Is he happy with my invitation?
___
Gloria looks elegant with a simple evening dress and not too open. Her hair was ponytailed, leaving a little strand in front of her. I liked.
Not to forget he also wore a coat that seemed to perfect his appearance.
"Where do we eat?" gloria asked while we were still in the elevator.
I smiled thinly while shaking.
"I thought you had a formal dinner. Is my appearance excessive?"
I shook my head again while smiling and looking at him.
"What does your smile mean, Owen?"
"You're beautiful, I love it." I replied to the point.
Blush.. without command, Gloria's cheeks were already flushed to hear my statement. Although I intend to tease her, but my words are not just jokes or jokes, I am serious that she is beautiful and I like her appearance tonight. No, not just tonight, the nights before too, especially when she was just wearing an underwear.
I ventured to grab her fingers, I did not want to walk empty-handed. At the very least, if he does not want to hold my arm then let me hold his hand.
I felt Gloria's hand shake as I touched, she looked at me as if asking 'what is this?' but I only returned his gaze with the same smile.
Gloria did not refuse my grasp, I was pleased with her little acceptance.
"Don't bring a driver?" gloria asked as we arrived at the basement.
"No, we both. Just you and me." I smiled faintly seeing Gloria bewildered with my words. He, it makes me anxious.
I opened the door for him, then switched to the driver's side. Driving at medium speed.
"What do you want to eat?"
"Anything" he replied, looking out the car window.
"All right," I said.
Moments later, we had arrived at a classic restaurant that I quite often visited for meetings. The food here is pretty good and the atmosphere is comfortable.
We sat upstairs, our table connecting with a large glass window, where the cityscape was clearly visible with the flickering of thousands of lights.
I freed Gloria to choose the food menu according to her taste.
"You look happy" I told the woman.
Gloria nodded. "I've never had dinner out like this!" enthusiastic response.
I cringe. "really? Didn't Richard ever take you out to dinner?"
"Never."
"Everything?"
"Well, though. Hmm, once, when I took me out to dinner at your Mansion and ended up with a weird deal between you guys." Gloria laughed so well.
I smiled at her side. "Then, I'm the first one to take you out to dinner at a restaurant like this?"
I didn't think Gloria would just nod. Ah, what kind of marriage did she have with Richard during these eight months? Why does it feel like I can't accept Richard treating her like this?
"I feel like Richard has cheated on me" Gloria said in a soft tone.
