THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 98. Apologizing.

“Jo.”

Edward just walked into the assistant's room without knocking on the door.

Johan who was laying on his head he was on the table, jumped and straightened his seat.

“There can I help you with, boss?”

It was not usual for the young man to ask at length. Usually enough to reply with the word, yes.

Edward approached the assistant. He examined the face of the man who had accompanied him for 8 years.

It felt a bit excessive indeed, just because Laura who he had only known for 3 months, to the extent that Edward inhabited the assistant who had been loyal for 8 years with him.

The adult man sat across from the assistant. He has not spoken further. Edward continued to look at Johan's face.

“What's up, boss?” Johan asked again.

“I'm sorry. My attitude is too wearing. But you know yourself, don't you, if I'm jealous?”

“I know, boss. That's why I didn't return the hug miss. Trust me boss, I have no taste in miss.”

Edward got up, then approached the assistant. Johan also got up. They then hugged each other.

“I'm sorry, Jo. I shouldn't have acted that way.” Edward patted the back of his assistant.

“I understand, boss. I'd be mad too if Monica hugged another man. But I will try to understand the situation first. Who's the guy Monica hugged. I'll just beat him up.” Johan insinuated his superiors subtly.

Edward broke his embrace, the man squinting his eyes at Johan. He knew he had been insulted by his assistant.

“You are insinuating, indeed number one, Jo.”

Johan chuckled lightly at the superior's words.

Edward sat down again, and so did Johan.

“Bos... a visit to the neighboring country next week how? Am I leaving again?”

Edward thought for a moment. There are scheduled visits to his hotel in a neighboring country. Why didn't he just leave? Take his wife on a honeymoon.

“Let me just. Book two tickets.” Edward's orders.

Johan covered his lips. He is now free to replace his boss.

“What boss will stay in our hotel?” The assistant asked again.

“Yes. Have them prepare a honeymoon room.”

“Sure, boss.”

They went back to discussing work. Edward could not inhabit his assistant for more than a day. They are like lovers who cannot be separated.

Since David's departure, only Johan has been faithful beside him. The young man even gave up his freedom to keep Edward company.

Johan's loyalty always reminded Edward of David. But he did not want to compare the two.

The late David, in addition to being an assistant is also his sister-in-law. Meanwhile, Johan, Edward already considers the young man like his own sister.

Perhaps Johan saw more of Edward's fragile side. Although he was with David, he also lost his father, but Edward was not as fragile as he lost David.

Johan has always been a place where Edward complains of the nightmares that continue to haunt him. Johan also witnessed how the grown man survived for the sake of his family.

“When are you getting married?” Edward remembered his promise to Johan. That will allow the assistant to marry after he marries Laura. Now is the time to make that promise.

“Can I get married, boss?” With doubt Johan asked. They do not want to have false hope.

“You haven't done any preparation?”

Johan's head shook quickly. Although the boss once said he could follow when Edward was married, but he did not dare to make preparations.

“Do preparations from now. After I come from outside, I'll propose to Monica for you.”

Edward knew the assistant had no family. So he'll be in charge of being a family for Johan.

Johan's eyes sparkled. Instantly he got up and hugged the boss.

“Thank you, boss. After this, I'll have Monica look for referrals for our wedding.” Suddenly Johan's eyes became sore. He could not hold back his sense of smell.

“Already, don't cry. You've been 30 years. Shame with age.” Edward patted his assistant on the shoulder.

Monica who had been a stalker at the door, felt moved. The wait for the girl is finally over.

“Thank you, sir Ed.”

“Eat a lot very, Bu?” Melani teases her best friend, seeing her eating more than usual.

“Hungry, Mel.” Laura replied, she remained focused on eating her favorite chicken noodles.

“I suspect, lest-don't—,” Melani accidentally paused her speech, her eyes squeaking towards Laura's stomach.

“I think will soon have a nephew?” Melani said. Although she is not an experienced girl, but she understands the affairs of women and men.

“Mel, I want to tell you.” Laura put down the cutlery she used to eat her chicken noodles. Then gulp down the remaining mineral water in the bottle.

After his thirst disappeared, the newlywed woman began to tell stories.

He told me about his brother Leo. How he had met the adult man who was attracted to his sister, and also the results of the investigation from Johan.

A few minutes into the story, Laura asked for her opinion and advice.

“Just find them, La. Anyway, Leo deserves to know about his parents.” Proposal from a friend.

“But Leo doesn't know, Mel. If he wasn't my real brother. Father and mother have adopted him and made their child.”

“Yes, but we can't be selfish, La. Leo has a right to know about himself. After that it's up to him. Want to stay in the orphanage or follow her parents?”

Laura thought about the words of her best friend.

“What if Leo chooses his parents? I don't want to lose him, Mel.”

Melani. I don't know why his best friend is so short-minded.

“La.. Leo is already big, he can definitely make his choice. And I'm sure, Leo would have preferred you guys, rather than people he just knew.”

Melani clasped Laura's shoulder from the side.

“Trust me. Everything must be fine.”

Laura nodded. Ready not to be ready, he indeed had to tell the origin of the younger brother, to the young man.

That's what Melani said. Leo has a right to know about himself. Laura probably loved her sister very much. For 16 years they have been together.

A lot of joy and sorrow. Crying together at the departure of both parents.

And aspire together to care for and make the home even bigger.

“If indeed Leo chooses his biological parents. You should be sincere too, La. However, Leo has a right to himself. Let him freely make his choice.”

Laura nodded back.

“Although you have no blood ties, but you have been bound by great affection. Leo will never forget you, if only he had chosen his parents. At least, let him feel the affection of the person who has made him exist in this world.”

‘Dad, mother..Is it possible it's time to know about her? Honestly, I can't. But I have to tell him.’

Laura turned around to hold her best friend.

“Thank you, Mel. I'm gonna talk to Ed about this. He can definitely help me.”

Melani returned Laura's embrace and rubbed the back of her sabahat.

“Sama-sama, La. That's what friends are for. Share, tell each other. Although we cannot help financially, at least we can help provide solutions. Now it's up to you, willing to accept the solution I give or not.”

“Iya, Mel. Once again thank you for the advice you gave.”

They then broke down a hug, and left the canteen. Come home together because Melani today did not bring a vehicle.

“Wah.. new car here.?” Melani's eyes sparkled to see a new saloon car waiting for them in the parking lot.

Not with Laura. The girl's eyes were perfectly rounded. The driver could not have come in his father's car.

“Pak, why bring this car?” Laura said, approaching the driver, pointing at the luxury car.

“Sorry, mistress. I still want to work with you. I don't want to be fired by mr.”

The words the driver said made Laura understand. He also had to use the car. The driver did not lose his job.

‘Basic old man cunning.’
