Chapter 73 - Need Your attention (2/2)
She sighed and shook her head, didn't want to argue with him. She had learned, sometimes better to keep quiet. The silence was the best way to win in some situations.
Wirata put some porridge soup with king prawns that she had removed all the shells and ready to eat in a small bowl. Its aroma was roaming the kitchen nicely. She put the bowl on the table. The tall body came to sit right away. She still stared at him. Stefan gave her a big smile.
”Honestly! I don't need painkillers. I get hit often. My body is very immuned, and recovers quickly.”
He repeated as she looked like she was suspicious and didn't believe him.
”Eat first. ”
She ordered. So Stefan opened his mouth and waited. Wirata looked at him and shook her head again.
”Eat by yourself since you said you are fine now.”
”I am holding Summer. My hands are dirty. Feed me, since you are standing there doing nothing anyway.” The boss requested.
Wirata sighed again before dropping down to sit on the chair near him. She stirred the soup until it was cool down enough, not too hot to eat then she started to feed him slowly. Stefan opened his mouth, let her feed him in a relaxed posture and smiled with a good mood throughout eating.
When finished, she gave him some juice. She went to the cabinet, brought two painkillers.
”Oh, no. No need. I said I don't take painkillers.”
he made a serious voice. Wirata ignored his statement, two tablets on her palm in front of him and waited for him to take them.
”Take it. Two pills. Now.”
The smooth voice ordered with the dark stare. Stefan made a grumpy face. His mother had never forced him like this in his life! Never! And who this woman thought she was!
”I'll take one pill because I am not much in pain.”
Stefan negotiated with a broody expression. Saw her shaking her head to refuse. Wirata then realized that he did not like taking medicine! What a baby he was!
”Stefan. Take it now. Don't be a baby and then you can go back to rest in the bedroom. Give Summer to me.”
She gave him the order. Looked at him as if he was a wayward boy.
Stefan was not pleased to be ordered by the employee. He was her boss!
”Alright! Put in my mouth then. My hands are dirty, holding Summer, don't you see?”
He used the same reason like before and with an unwilling voice then opened his mouth. Wirata hurried to put the drug in his mouth with water as well.
She shook her head absently, didn't think that just being kicked ass by Bernardo would make him act like a cripple and needed her to feed him everything like this.
But when looked at his bruised cheekbones. She sighed, feeling sorry for him a little then. She had learned bit by bit about this Mafia God, the more threatening, the more unruly he would be.
”Now you should go to rest and be good.”
Wirata said. Her voice softened.
”Take me to the room, please.” He requested. His voice softened, too.
Wirata thought to herself that besides acting like a cripple and now he happened not to remember the way back to his own room as well! But for now, Wirata decided whatever he wanted, she would do it for him, just for peace sakes.
He stood up, put his arm on around her shoulders, and walked to the office. Ben and James looked up to the boss.
”Let me know immediately when you have news. Understand?”
Stefan said to his followers about the matter they knew, both bowed to acknowledge. Now James was on the phone. Wirata wasn't sure what that was about but she guessed it was the matter of Bernardo's pub got burned.
”Summer, be a good boy, okay? Mommy will take daddy to rest. You two, there is some food in the kitchen, help yourselves and leave some king prawns for me.”
The boss finished his order then walked back to his bedroom. Ben and James looked at each other.
”Day time?” Ben whispered and then they both made a giggle.
