Chapter 54 - Dont judge a book by its cover (2) (1/2)

Wirata put the plate of aromatic Jasmine rice with the omelet on top in front of the boss. She poured orange juice in a glass and put it next to the plate. Stefan started to eat with no more talking.

”So, hm, about my stepfather's debt. As you know he has also owed Bernardo. When you say you are going to zero it. Does it mean you will include Bernardo's?”

Wirata took the opportunity to ask him to make it clear so that she could plan the next step.

Stefan stopped eating and glanced up.

”Why? If I don't include, what will you do?” He wanted to know what she had planned in her head. He wouldn't let her know that he had already talked to the bastard Bernardo about it.

”Well, if you don't. I will ask for my twelve months salary in advance to pay him off. Because John only has less than a month to find the money. You said you would give me 5 times more, so I've calculated already and it will be enough to pay Bernardo off.”

Wirata said with a smooth tone. Adult to adult talk.

Stefan listened. She was very quick at calculating the benefit she would get and gaining. Stefan had never failed to detect this tendency in any woman. She wasn't different from the others. Money always had the power to change people's attitudes and could buy people's pride if the price was right.

Feeling edgy and disappointed to know that she's no different from the rest, Stefan put the spoon down and drank the juice. The tall figure stood up.

”I don't want to talk about money anymore. Let's go, Summer. ”

The dark voice said to Wirata and called Summer. The puppy looked at him and then turned to look at Wirata. He walked to her and licked her calf. Wirata picked him up and put him on her shoulder. The boss looked at them and turned his back, stormed out of the kitchen.

Wirata sighed. Well, it's only the first day. There were 364 days to go yet so she wouldn't let herself feel down too much with his swinging mood.

”He's crazy. Sometimes he behaves like a baby, just like you, little guy.”

She murmured to the puppy.

”Arf!” Summer made a noise and put his nose to her neck. This behavior reminded Wirata of the person who just stormed out of the kitchen. He liked to do this as well. Obviously, he must copy her Summer!

Wirata looked at the time. It was 4.20 p.m. Since she was in the kitchen, she might as well cook something for dinner. She didn't know what Ben and James wanted to have. There was still a lot of stuff she bought which needed to be cooked.

”Do you need help, Miss?” Ben's voice came and the tall good-looking bodyguard walked in, James followed. Wirata smiled at them.

”You must have read my mind. I was thinking about what you two want to have for dinner tonight.”

Wirata put Summer down and the puppy didn't hesitate to run out of the room. Wirata guessed he was running to his crazy daddy!
