The tall figure wore a black T-shirt and faded jeans strode straight with a confident and a serious expression on his face. Having Summer running after him, swaying left and right as its short legs not be able to catch up with his daddy's long legs.

Stefan saw his mother's car just disappeared from the front gate. She was taking Wirata to the local market. He saw his bodyguards enjoying themselves and looked relaxed as they were on their holidays.

Stefan stopped in front of them and then sat down on a chair next to the wooden bench where the two were sitting and enjoying their coffee.

"Good morning, boss." The two greeted the boss.

"What can we do for you, boss?"

Ben asked immediately since the boss shouted that he had a question.

"What question, boss?"

James also asked. The two open their ears up, so ready to listen. The boss looked unsure for a minute.

"The question is ..."

The boss paused and then sighed heavily.

"I don't know. The problem is she's so smart. I don't know how and where to start. " The boss mumbled.

James and Ben looked at the boss and then looked at each other. They know this time the boss seriously had a big problem. And it was related to the word LOVE with the big L. Anything involved a heart was always a big problem. For Stefan Mackenzie, this was a new and fresh problem that had never happened before.

James stood up and walked to the table behind the bench, picked up a cup to pour out the coffee for the boss. It might help to refresh his brain a little since it was still early and his head might be a bit foggy to think straight and clearly.

"I think whiskey might be better. So my brain can sail smoothly. "

The boss made a request.

"Um ... I think it's too early for that, boss." Ben said.

"I agree. Miss Wirata may not like to see you drink in the morning or drink too much."

James supported his friend to make the boss think. Stefan usually drank when he felt wanted to, but not often.

"Alright. Give me black coffee then."

Stefan said. James handed the cup to the boss and came back to sit again.

Stefan drank half of the cup. His mind was busy. He was thinking about last night. He had only a few hours of sleep because they had a long conversation. The atmosphere with her last night was different from the previous nights. It was the first time they had opened up their minds and had a proper talk.

He said so much to her. But what he could gather was, she did not accept him yet. She was still counting down the days to leave after nine months. But she seemed to offer him a small opportunity to win her heart.

This woman was no stupid and did not hesitate to state her thoughts and beliefs. Stefan understood if he were in her shoes. No woman would love a man who hurt her feelings since the first day they met. They started their relationship with the wrong impression. But he could not do anything about the past. It was done.

He was not sure how she did it. The way she did not give him any clear answers about everything he asked but still, she made him felt okay with it. She was very cute last night. He liked the way she kissed his chin and his chest and snuggled against his body. He could feel, it was from her true feelings.

He was missing her right now. He wanted to go with them but his mother did not allow. He was not sure if it was the right decision to bring her to see his mother. She was spending her time with his mother more than with him at the moment.

His mother liked her very much as he predicted. Stefan could not help but smile when thinking about the two women he loved.

"Please be careful, boss. Drinking and smiling at the same time as that, you may choke."

Ben was teasing when seeing that the boss pondering and smiling and drinking at the same time. A minute ago he was wearing a serious expression on his face and now he was smiling and it was like his mind was not here but flying after the car that just gone.

"I love her very much."

He murmured. His mind was miles away, as far as the car went.

The voice had a hint of a happy-sad feeling, sounded confusing. Ben and James looked at each other back and forth. Communicating with their eyes as usual.

They agreed in silent that, just shut up and listened, for now, don't interfere. The boss was just in the introduction chapter of his story yet.

"The problem is she's counting dowing the days and waiting for the contract to finish and leave me."

The boss said the same thing as last night. It must be buried deep inside his memory and he could not get rid of it.

"I know what she is thinking. But she seems to want to give me a chance. She told me to think about what I really want. For temporary of for good. The word 'Forever' is very long. I easily get bored. She asked me to think carefully before going on to say it to her. Because I might be sorry and regret later if I don't think. "

He copied all the words she spoke last night to his followers. After he finished his long speech, he sighed deeply, again.

Stefan turned to look at his subordinates, saw them stayed silent, listened to him. They glanced at each other the way they usually communicated. Obviously, their last lives, they must have been fighting fish! As they could talk through their eyes.

"Why are you two so quiet? " The boss asked and started to frown.

Ben and James made eye contact for the ninth round.

"We are listening carefully so that we can think carefully and speak carefully as Miss Wirata suggested, boss."

James replied. The boss loosened up his knotted eyebrows when hearing his lady's name.

"To solve this problem is not difficult, boss. James is very good in this area. A lot of friends came to him for this specific issue."

Ben said.

"Really?" Stefan asked with a surprise in his voice.

James sent a dagger eyes to Ben, saying... Fucking bustard!

Ben ignored his friend's glare.

"Oh, yes, boss. As I said he has been watching lots of romantic movies and also loves reading romance novels. So, he is definitely an expert in this special topic. And his favorite and secret fantasy is Romancing a Sexy Doctor. Right, James?"

Ben added and turned to asked his friend. James was holding a secret but Ben secretly knew. He was feeling fun to see James' face gone red wanting to strangle him. But he could not do that because the boss was looking at him with amazement in his eyes, mixed with hope just like last night.

So James smiled modestly to the boss, did not want to disappoint him.

"Hm, for your case, I would put it in the romance drama category, boss."

James said, went along with Ben. He would forget the feeling of wanting to choke him to death just for now.

Ben hurriedly nodded in agreement. Stefan was silent and put his ears up to listen.

"From what you said. It seems that she's gone soft toward you a lot already. So please don't give up your hope yet."

James began to analyze after thinking and scratching his chin for a minute.

The first advice was impressive. Stefan nodded pleasingly to his bodyguard.

"I know she doesn't love me, but I understand her. For now, if only she doesn't hate me like before, I will settle for that and will work my way up."

The boss said with a hint of sadness in his voice that James and Ben were not familiar with and did not like it.

"I think she likes you, but still doesn't accept you because she believes you have a better version inside there somewhere. And she wants you to be that person, the better one. That's why she is giving you an opportunity to change in a way that she can accept it. Right, Ben? "

James turned to ask his friend after his long statement of guessing.

Ben nodded right away.

"Yes, that's right. I agree with James, boss."

Ben said eagerly and gave James a thump up.

James eyed his friend. The bustard made him beat his brain out and when it came to his turn, the jackass gave only a few shitty words!

"A better version of me in here?"

The boss made a high voice and pointed on his chest.

"Yes, boss."

Jame replied.

"I thought this is my best version already but anyway... "

The boss muttered and he grabbed the Summer to hold in his arms.

"What do you think, Summer? What should I do to win your mommy's heart? Maybe I should have a baby with her, so she will stay with me forever."

The boss talked to the puppy. Ben and James quickly nodded in agreement.

"Yes, boss! That sounds a very interesting idea. She has softened down a lot when she saw the kindness of you toward Summer. You must have children with her. Like the saying, a child is like a gold chain to link and tie the mother and the father together."

James quickly said. He was not sure where that saying was from but never mind. It was a good idea, however.

Stefan paused to think for a minute and quickly took his phone out. He secretly took pictures of her birth control pills when she was asleep.

"she has been taking this."

Stefan showed the picture to his bodyguards.

"This brand is effective too, boss. This one is very good at stopping the sperms to say hello to the eggs. So if she takes this, you won't have a chance."

James analyzed when looking at the name of the birth control pills. Stefan and Ben had to turn to look at James with astonished eyes for his knowledge.

"Wow! How did you know that?"

Ben immediately asked his friend with a surprised tone.

"Have you ever heard of Google, Ben?"

James turned to asked Ben with a sarcastic voice.

"Also, Josiphia was studying to be a pharmacist, Do you remember my sis, Ben? So I asked her. "

James added. Ben nodded. He remembered that cute Josiphia.

Stefan sat and looking at James and Ben back and forth. His eyebrows knotted. He liked the idea of having kids with her. Stefan never thought he would feel so excited like this when thinking about having his own children.

The boss and the two henchmen sat with their heads in thinking mode. Suddenly, the boss sprang on his feet and his face lit up with a big smile.

"I know now!"

The harsh voice shouted out among the silence. James and Ben looked at the boss's sparkling eyes then they knew that the boss really had found a way to sort his problem out!
