Stuck With An Old Man (Revision Stage)
CHAPTER 51: Meeting Old Friends

From the moment he arrived at the office, Gala's face was unceasingly smiling. Last night's events clung so tightly to his mind that subconsciously, the facial expression he gave off was unlike that of Gala Zayn Rodderick in general who was indifferent, flat and fierce.

Since then, Shanks apparently has noticed the strange behavior of his superiors. But he refused to ask. Shanks guessed, the cause of the melting of the ice block in front of him. Shanks frowned and rubbed his chin. The man seemed to be racking his brain, thinking hard.

“Shanks!”

“Iya, Sir?”

Gala sat on her throne and twirled her body around the seat. “It was not in vain that I studied with you,” he said, semringah.

Shanks frowned. “Meanor?”

“Now you're being honest with me, Shanks,” is staring hard at Shanks' bead. “Have you ever had sex with a woman?!”

His personal assistant jumped. “Be—never, Mr.”

“Hmm, pretty great. For an old man like you who's inexperienced. You have given me very useful tips.”

“What, Sir succeeded?” lirih Shanks, hesitantly asked.

“Yes! Mission rape wife, success!”

Shanks suddenly pranced. “Yes!” clenching fingers.

“Why are you happy? I'm the one on the mission, how come you're the one who's excited?!”

“Sorry, Sir. I'm too happy because Master is no longer a virgin,” Shanks honestly.

Gala looked at him with murderous eyes. “What do you mean?”

“Nothing means, Sir. I'm glad you finally found your happiness. May Mr. Gala and Miss Yara soon be given a descent.”

Gala pulled the corner of her lips and guaranteed Shanks a word in her heart. “Where did you learn from, Shanks? Besides watching, I'm sure you must have studied at expert.”

“I learned self-taught, Sir. And last time I had a crush, but not to date. Just approach. But it turns out that she works at a nightclub as an entertainer. He also told me a lot about making love.”

Gala narrowed her eyes looking at Shanks. It seems that the man was suspicious of Shanks because his assistant had just told Gala that he had a bustle of comfort women.

“What's with the gaze, Sir? Su—swear, sir, I did not give my honor to that woman. When I found out about his work, I immediately blocked his contact. I didn't get to wik wik with him. I could have sworn Sir,” obviously Shanks panicked not overcast.

Like a teenage boy being interrogated by his mother, that was the behavior of the two adult men.

“I'm just staring at you, Shanks. Why have you spoken at length to me?”

“Lord's gaze, makes me think that Master suspects me. That's why I'm trying to explain in detail."

“No need. I don't care about your beautiful story. You want to fuck a butterfly night cake, or even a dipper granny, I don’t care! That’s your business, not mine!”

“I understand, Sir.”

“Good.”

That afternoon, Chiren was about to head somewhere. She slowed her car down when she saw her husband's car parked in a children's playground. Chiren pulled the car over immediately.

“I didn't see wrong. It was Leon's car. But what is he doing in this place?” chiren Gumam.

The woman also walked into the park. He rolled his eyes in all directions but Leon's figure was not met. Chiren returned to the car with curiosity that disturbed his focus. “Ah please, I'll ask her later.”

He went back on his journey. A few minutes later he arrived at a Japanese restaurant. A beautiful woman seemed to be waving her hands when she saw the figure of Chiren who was walking into the restaurant.

“Chiren,” he said slowly.

Chiren and Janetha are hugging each other because they just met five years ago.

“Janetha, you are getting beautiful,” said Chiren, praising the woman of her stature.

“You too, Chiren. You're still like you used to be. Beautiful and graceful.”

“Ah you could have. How is your business in Paris?” ask Chiren.

“Lumayan smoothly.”

“Thank God. I'm so worried because you just left without telling me. I only received an email from you that was so short. You're okay ‘kan?”

Janetha nodded as she threw a smile at Chiren. “I'm sorry. At that time I was having a pretty complicated problem. And suddenly went abroad to continue my life there.”

“Why didn't you tell me? We ‘kan already sahabatan from SMA. Do you still doubt me?”

“Why? Come story dong.”

“Nothing,” shook his head. “Ohya how is your household?”

Chiren was silent. His voice turned moody. “Alright,” said, flat.

“Thank God. Once again forgive me for not being able to attend your wedding with your husband. Five years ago was very hard for me. But you take it easy. I'm better now.”

“No problem, Janetha. Nothing has changed for me.”

“Where is your son?”

Chiren smiled slightly. “I don't have any children yet. I have been pregnant three times and miscarried. The doctor advised me to rest for three years, and this year I am pregnant for the fourth time.”

Janetha is shocked. He was not happy with his friend. “Ma—forgive me for being presumptuous, Chiren.”

“Do not always apologize. You're not wrong, hehe,” chuckles.

“Hopefully you and your baby will always be given health,” Janetha said feeling compassion.

“Amin.”

Poor Chiren too. He was more tormented than I was. Inner Janetha.

“How about you? Are you married?”

Janetha shook her head. “But I already have a child.”

“Hah, how? I don't understand,” asked Chiren in shock.

“Iya. I'm not married but I already have a child.”

“Well, how can Janetha? Who is the man who impregnates you but is not responsible?!” Chiren looked annoyed.

“Forget over. I don't want to remember that bitter incident. I'm happy enough with my son now,” smiles.

“Then how old is your child?”

“Five years.”

“What because of that, you left for overseas five years ago?”

Janetha nodded. “I've actually been three weeks pregnant, as the national exam temporarily goes on. But I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would scold me, so I hid my pregnancy from you and my parents. I was thinking about aborting my womb and wanting to end my life. But I try hard and strong.”

“Jeez Janetha! Why don't you tell me! your story is heartbreaking.”

“I was so stupid back then for thinking bluntly. Other people really want a child, but I want to kill my own. But I deeply regret what I did at that time. Good thing someone came to strengthen me.”

Chiren is saddened by Janetha's story. He did not know if his friend had suffered from severe depression five years ago. Janetha is a beautiful and intelligent girl. His parents were quite famous painters, but his family background was not as elite as the Chiren family.

Janetha is often less likely to be friends with Chiren. But Chiren took it very well. They have been friends since they were first grade High School. Janetha has aspirations as a designer. For this reason he decided to stay in Paris, so that he could realize his goals, even though he was pregnant with a baby from an irresponsible man.

“I want to see your son. Where is he?”

“Tadi with me. But ..”

“But?”

Janetha stared fixedly at Chiren. “I left it in the playground.”

“Oh so. What's your son's name?”

“Leonard Zark Rode--,” pauses his speech. “Leonard Zark Davis, but familiarly called Leo.”

“You added your family surname behind his name huh? Hmm, your son's name is very good. Almost similar to my husband's name. Leon Zack Rodderick.”

Deg!

Janetha surprised. He returned to normalize the look of his face.

Chiren I'm really sorry. Fate is so cruel that it brought me to that man!
