Chapter 69 - The Poorly boss (1) (1/2)

The car stopped at the front of the private parking lot under the Grand MC hotel. James hurried to get off the car and open the door for the boss and his lady. Seeing that the boss was walking unsteadily, so James hurried to help but the boss sent him the daggered glare that made James put the brake on his feet and understood immediately.

James turned to Wirata, she was carrying Summer in her arms.

”I can take Summer, Miss.”

James said. Wirata saw that Stefan wasn't quite steady so she passed the puppy to James and stepped to help by putting her arm around his waist.

”Are you really that bad?” Wirata asked with concern in her voice.

”Yeah, like hell. My legs are sore, I'm in pain all over now.” The injured boss answered, put his arm around her shoulder and leaned to her for support. Wirata helped him to walk to the elevator.

Ben parked the car then walked beside James. He whispered to his partner when the boss still turned his back to them.

”Man, I think the boss intends to sweep both the Oscar and the Golden Globe.”

Ben made a comment when looking at the boss' leaning his tall body to Miss Wirata, held her shoulder tight and made a whining noise when he walked.

”I didn't know that our boss has got such talent. He could be a movie star, we should suggest him to try, he might be interested. ”James whispered back.

”Yeah. You can try, but make such to stand far away from his feet when you do so.”

Two people tilted their heads closely, and only their mouth carrying on talking in a whispering gesture.

”Please walk carefully.”

The soft voice warned when the injured person made a stride because he forgot that he was pretending to be hurt. She wrapped her arm around his waist and walk into the elevator.

Ben and James stood behind the boss and Wirata. They quietly exchanged their gaze, feeling fun to see the new role of the boss who was leaning his tall body close to his lady, touched his head on hers.

When they reached the penthouse, Wirata supported the bruised body inside. His face became swollen. Wirata took him to sit at the sofa. James took Summer to the floating garden while Ben went to bring the first aid equipment. He put in on the low table in front of the sofa.

”Please bring some warm water too, Ben.”

Wirata told Ben who hurried to get it for her.

”I'll help clean the wound on your face first. ”

Wirata told him in a soft voice. Saw him leaning against the sofa, looking at the ceiling as if he were thinking of something.

”Close your eyes. I'll wipe your face.”

Stefan turned and looked at the slim body who was sitting next to him. Her face was soft and not as cold as usual. He was wondering if he had to get injured first to get her to show her kindness and her gentle side to him.

Stefan closed his eyes. He was used to getting injured like this. Luckily, this time there were no broken bones just bruises and swollen wounds here and there. He could feel the warm cloth touching his face and soft hand wiping gently. Stefan opened his eyes to look at her.

”Never disobey me again. Do you understand?” The low dark voice said. Wirata paused to think which order she disobeyed him. Then she raised her shoulder and sighed.

”I don't want to see stupid people get hurt.”

She answered straight. Stefan frowned, displeased with her choice of words. Wirata saw he made his eyebrows knotted so she used her fingers to massage between his thick eyebrows. Causing him to realize and loosened up a little.

”Thick eyebrows don't have to be a thick skull, I guess.”

She said bluntly. Stefan really hated her outspoken habit with him. He made a broody face.

”It's a man's business! You don't understand!” He gave her a daggered gaze.

”Yes, you are right. I don't really understand why you have to fight as if it is a normal thing in life like this. Why do you like getting hurt? Or unless you are a sadist. ”

While speaking, she washed the cloth and then wiped down to his neck. She told him to take off his shirt. Stefan sat up and tried to lift his arms but he felt stiff and sore a little.

”Do it for me. I can't.”

He said. Wirata saw him struggling so she helped by slowly pulled his shirt up over his head.

The pretty face and body leaned closer to him. Stefan sniffed the nice sweet fragrance into his lung quietly. Heard the followers laughed before they pretended to cough.

”You two go to the office. Call our spies to investigate this matter for me immediately. ”

The dashing voice instructed his subordinates with a serious face when he thought of someone who had dared to play with a man like him. Daring to use his name to impersonate like this!

”Whoever did this, they knew that you and Bernardo are antagonistic. So they created the incident for you and Bernardo to jump each other. And this will get them some benefit which we have to find out what.” Ben said with no more joke. His handsome face looked serious.

”Find out who they are. And I will show these bastards what's gonna happen to people who dare to mess with me!”

The harsh voice said under his breath. Wirata felt her goosebumps rose up all over her body. She was afraid that he would die before his time came if he continued to look for a battle like this.

”Don't show off and say too much if you can't even take off your own shirt like this. ”

She warned him in her sarcastic tone. Making Ben and James lift their mouth into amusement. But then they saw the boss sent a dark glare at them. they hurriedly turned and walked to the office immediately.

”during I'm poorly, you will have to help me with everything.”

The big boss ordered. Wirata did not say out but just continued to clean him. Stefan lifted his hand to touch her cheek, just felt like touching her. Her knees were touching his, it somehow made him feel warm and not so...alone. It was a strange feeling, Stefan never thought that he was a lonely person as he had always surrounded by people all his life. But he didn't know why it felt different. However, this warm feeling was like lightning, quickly flashed and quickly disappeared. He stroked her cheeks and played with her hair.

”Hey. Don't! Please stay still. ”

The personal nurse gave an order and a warning gaze. The soft hand gently cleaned the wound. Stefan looked at the beautiful face which was not far from his face. She was very concentrating on trying to clean him as gently as possible. That made Stefan loosened up and his lips had a small smile.

”I thought you never care for anybody.”

He said. Wirata glanced at him.

”Me or you?”

Because that sentence would be more suitable for him. Wirata believed Stefan Mackenzie was a cold person who didn't care about other people's feelings.

”You!”

Stefan interacted immediately. Why did she think he didn't care about anybody? He was a good son, a good brother and a very good boss! He cared for many people, family, and followers.

”Really? So I guess you can do the rest by yourself then because I DON'T CARE.”

She stopped, put the cloth in the bowl and going to get up. He quickly grabbed her hand.
