Chapter 49: Money Talk

"Arf!" Wirata heard Summer made a sound. She watched through the kitchen glass windows to see the tall figure carrying him to put on the dog toilet and then he turned his back to the puppy. Wirata carried two cups of coffee and walked to him.

"Don't stare at him. You'll make him embarrassed and he won't do it."

He said to her when he saw Wirata watching the puppy turning round and round to find his good position for nature's call. Wirata blinked, this man was forgetting that Summer was her dog!

"He's my baby." She reminded him. Handed him a cup of black coffee.

"Mine, too." He said bluntly. then lifted the cup to look and sniff it first. As he had a very bad experience with her terrible coffee not long ago. Wirata turned her face away and drank her coffee. He looked at her then sipped it and then he drank more when he knew it was only a normal cup of coffee!

"Ruff!"

The puppy made a noise Stefan hurried to hand Wirata his cup.

"Hold it for me." He said then went to Summer and looked. The puppy just had a pee, not a Number 2, Stefan nodded.

"Good boy. Now it's time to do some exercise with your daddy."

He said then walked to the toy basket near the wooden racks where the orchids and flowers baskets were hanging beautifully. He showed Summer a small tennis ball. Then he threw it softly to the far corner.

"Go get it." He ordered the little puppy. Summer seemed to like this game, his short and small legs ran off straight to chase the ball immediately. He got it in his mouth and ran back to Stefan.

"Good boy!" Stefan praised the little guy, took the ball out of his mouth and patted his small head. Then gave him a treat. Summer wiggled his tail rapidly in a happy gesture. He finished it very fast.

"Want more? Then you will have to earn it. The second round. Go!"

The smooth and relaxed voice ordered and the puppy ran as if he knew his cue. They repeated the activity between them. Wirata was amazed to see that within a span of a few days, her Summer had swapped side completely without hesitation. Looked at all the treats and toys he got from Stefan, full in the baskets!

"Would you like anything with your coffee?"

She asked since he didn't pay attention to her at all.

"Like what?"

Stefan turned to look at the woman in her pajamas with her underwear in her pocket. Her hair looked a mess but somehow, he thought she was sexy looking like this in the morning.

"Hm, like a piece of croissant, cake or cookies. "

Wirata answered. She usually liked a piece of croissant dipping in her morning coffee. She saw a jar of chocolate chip cookie in the cabinet. For cake or croissant, she thought she could find it from the hotel bakery shop or the restaurant because this was a seven-star hotel, they had got everything to please their wealthy customers.

"I am not a girl, don't like sweets."

He answered sarcastically and gave her a glance then turned his attention to the puppy again. Wirata shrugged.

Since he was no longer interested in her. Wirata finished her coffee and went back inside. She hurriedly took a shower, wore a bright yellow T-shirt with black cotton pants. She still had not unpacked her suitcases because she wasn't sure where to put her clothes and stuff.

When finished, she went outside the bedroom, didn't see anybody in the large living room so she went to the kitchen, made a cup of tea for herself. She was very hungry, her energy was drained because of last night's activity run by the lustful man. Wirata opened the cookies jar and put some on a small plate. She walked to the terrace garden again.

Wirata stopped at a white chair near the door, sat down, sipping tea, eating cookies and staring at the corner of the beautifully designed artificial waterfall.

The tall figure was watering the plant pots. For the orchid baskets hung on the wooden panel, he used a water cylinder that had a spray head attached to water the Queen of Flowers with gentle and care. Wirata stared with a surprised expression on her face, couldn't believe her eyes that he could do something out of his character like that.

"Arf!" Summer made a sound. He sat on his butt near Stefan and seemed to want the boss's attention. When Stefan looked at him, the puppy used his pink tongue to lick his mouth and lick the floor as if he was trying to say something.

"No. No more treat for now. If you want it, you have to run around the swimming pool first."

Stefan talked to him as if the puppy would understand every word he said.

"Ei! Ei!" Summer made a moaning sound, sitting and tilting his head to send Stefan puppy eyes.

"No, don't do that! Batting your eyes like a girl is not acceptable, understood? Be manly. Don't be eccentric. Do you understand? "

He made a serious voice to the puppy and shaking his head at the dog.

"Arf!"

Summer made a noise as if he understood. Then he just lied down on the spot and shut his mouth.

"Very good." The satisfied voice said to the puppy. He decided to give him a bone. The puppy wiggled his tail rapidly in a very happy gesture. Then his full attention was toward the bone only, not interested in anybody anymore.

"What time do you have your breakfast?"

Wirata asked, she still didn't know anything about his daily routines.

Stefan turned to look at the woman who was sitting on the chair near the door. He picked his coffee cup up, still hadn't finished it yet. The tall figure walked to her. He saw cookies in the plate, Stefan lifted his cup to drink, hiding his smirk behind the cup. So she liked sweet, he was always right about women.

"Nine o'clock in the morning, only light breakfast. You can talk to James and Ben about my schedule and stuff you need to know. They come up at about 7 a.m. on weekdays, but 9 a.m. on weekends." The boss explained.

"What about our agreement?"

Wirata asked to the main point. They needed to sort everything out and made it clear from the start. Stefan sipped his coffee and thinking for a moment. He looked at her while his calculated brain working.

"I will put an end to your stepfather's debt, it's zero. He'll owe me nothing."

"You will not seize his pub, right?" She asked to make sure in the details.

"Yeah. " Stefan glanced at her. She wasn't daft.

"What else?" Wirata asked another question, the same reason just wanted to make it clear. Seeing him sent her an annoyed gaze. He paused and looked into his cup, but he was thinking. After a moment, he turned his face to her.

"I will also give you five times more than your last salary. The salary you received from the office. Want something else?" He asked and smirked in a sarcastic gesture.

Wirata lifted her teacup to her mouth, didn't let him see that she was stunned with the words 'FIVE TIMES MORE THAN HER LAST SALARY'.

"My salary from the office, hm, will I get my last three months salary as well? It's the rule before you fired me." She managed to continue with a normal voice.

Stefan shook his head. She definitely had a calculating head. Very cunning!


Chapter 50: Swinging Mood

Wirata was calculating how much the five times salary he talked about would be. It was a lot of money for her. For twelve months as they had the agreement, that should be enough to pay Bernardo to get the house back for her mother and Uncle John. But Bernardo didn't give Uncle John 12 months. He only gave him 1 month to pay off. And Wirata didn't know if Bernardo would be kind enough to extend the time length for Uncle John.

Her options would be: To talk to Bernardo, asking him to give her some more time. And to tell him that she would definitely be able to pay him off in 12 months. Or to talk to Stefan, asking for 12 months salary in advanced to pay Bernardo off. Which one would be an easier way for her, Wirata had no clues.

"As you might know already that Uncle John, my stepfather took the house to guarantee his debt with Bernardo and Bernardo gave one month to pay the debt off. "

Wirata said. She thought it was best to be straight and open since the start for their business so that he couldn't say she was hiding any truth from him later.

He turned to look at her with his sharp blue eyes. He face was sulky.

"Are you thinking of going to bed with Bernardo?! Yeah... your stepfather would have had that idea, that's why he let you have dinner with the bastard!"

The harsh voice bawled, shoving his hand in his hair. Stefan was feeling frustrated immediately when picturing her going to bed with his number one enemy!

He threw the coffee cup in his hand to the far corner. It hit the floor and smashed, broke into pieces! Wirata jumped, stood up and gasped. Summer also jumped, too. He barked but not for long then he went back to his delicious treat.

"Your stepfather will probably sell you to everybody he owed money to, huh?!!"

The angry voice snapped at her. Wirata was opening her mouth, going to say something. But he raised his hand up to halt her.

"You shut up! I will talk to your stepfather and the bastard. Now stop talking about money. For fuck's sake! I have enough!"

After finishing his words, the tall body stepped to lift Summer up and walked back inside with a stern face. Wirata sighed, sat down and finished her tea. She didn't understand why his mood was so swinging, up and down within a span of 3 seconds like this. However, from now on, she had to be very patient and must not let him get into her head, because she didn't want to have a swinging mood like him.

Wirata sighed again then stood up and walked to the shade, opened it and picked the cleaning equipment. She used the brush to sweep the broken cup to the trash and turned on the tap to spray water to clean the dirty floor which was smeared with coffee.

"Good morning, Miss."

Ben greeted from the opened door. Wirata turned to smile at him.

"Good morning, Ben." Wirata greeted back.

Ben looked and saw that Miss pretty Wirata was cleaning the floor, using the water to wash the coffee stain.

"Boss told me to come to clean the floor. You shouldn't do it yourself. "

"It's alright. Is he often behaving like this?" She asked out of curiosity. Ben gave her a sheepish smile.

"Um, well, not often, Miss."

Ben responded with a short statement, not wanting to make the boss lose his good image. Because their job right now was to help the boss increase his popularity scores with Miss pretty Wirata. But the big boss himself did not give good cooperation.

"The boss is taking a shower. He asks you to go to prepare the clothes for him, Miss. "

Ben told Wirata. He was surprised a little when first heard the order. Because normally, the boss could dress by himself! The bodyguards knew Stefan Mackenzie didn't like anybody to mess in his bedroom.

Wirata nodded and gave Ben a friendly smile then walked back into the master bedroom. The tall figure came out of the bathroom, there was only a towel wrapped around his waist. He used a small towel to wipe his damp hair. His face was emotionless at this moment.

"What do you want to wear?"

Wirata asked. She walked to the tall and big wardrobes along the wall. Slid open the doors and stared at the clothes hanging in there. The rails were controlled by a remote. Very nice and well-organized. Everything was in its place, there were lots of drawers. She pulled them out to look at.

There was a drawer for socks, neckties, underwear, handkerchiefs, watches, including jewelry, classified separately and all looked expensive. The other cabinet was full of shoes, made in every style, and with premium materials. They all were clean, polished, and ready to be used.

"A shirt and jeans." The voice answered. He didn't show any mood at the moment, only glanced at her once, walked to the sofa and sat down. He looked emotionless, but Wirata was not sure he was really feeling emotionless underneath his I-don't-wanna-talk-to-you posture.

Wirata nodded. He said that today he's working at home and would go later. She started to memorize the information in her mind.

"Any specific color for the shirt? And what type of shoes?"

"Blue. Any black leather shoes" He gave the answer and then continued to be quiet.

Wirata picked one out, with dark jeans. There were dozens of black leather shoes in front of her. Wirata decided to pick the nearest pair. Then grabbed a pair of socks and a handkerchief. She tried not to blush when grabbing his boxers out of the drawer. She walked to him and handed everything to him. He took them and stood up, removed his towel and stood naked right in front of her! Wirata gasped with a shock and embarrassed. She hurriedly turned her back and walked away.

Now Wirata had time to observe more of his spacious bedroom. There was a section of the living area with the biggest size TV on the market, connected with all entertaining box sets. There were sliding glass doors opening to a wide terrace to see the front view of the beautiful Las Vegas buildings. A big oak desk was by the window. He seemed to have a desk placed in every room. But the main room would probably be in the office according to its name.

"I am going out now. You stay at home, write a draft of the contract we talked about. When I come back, we'll talk."

He spoke with a normal tone but Wirata had the feeling that he was peevish with her. Wirata was not surprised that he had changed his mind to go out now instead of in the afternoon as he said before. This had just confirmed her belief that he could change his mind like the wind changed its direction. You could never be certain which way it's going to blow.

Wirata nodded again to acknowledge.

"Black leather jacket."

He ordered when finished dressing. Wirata took it out of the wardrobe and gave it to him. They walked out of the bedroom. James and Ben were in the living room. Summer was playing with a ball on the floor. Stefan patted his small head gently.

"Stay home. Be a good boy, okay? "

Wirata rolled her eyes. She stood here but he didn't speak to her. Not that she was jealous of her baby or anything. But the way he was acting up to now, he was moody quietly, she thought maybe he was touchy but she was just here one night so she didn't know nor familiar with Stefan's gestures and behaviors yet.

"Ei! Ei!"

Summer moaned and looked up to him with his puppy eyes. Stefan then picked him up and touched his nose to Summer's nose. He raised him in the air and stared eye to eye.

"Don't cry like a girl. Don't show your weakness. I don't want to see it."

He spoke to the puppy with a serious tone.

Yep! He could talk to Summer endlessly.

"Come to mammy, Summer. It's your milk time, isn't it? " Wirata said. The puppy turned to look at her then back to stared at Stefan as if he was waiting for Stefan to allow him to come to her. This was a little bit too much! Her puppy was really spoiled! Stefan turned to her.

"James had already fed him milk. You can go to do your thing." He spoke to her.

"In the afternoon, I will take Summer for a walk."

Wirata told him. She planned to write a draft contact, after that she would go to the nearby park.

"Don't go anywhere until I come back."

He ordered, put Summer in her arms and walked out. Ben and James gave her a polite smile before hurried to follow their boss.

Stefan told James to call John White, he wanted to talk to this man about Wirata and the deal. A few minutes later, James reported the boss that John White wasn't at home or at his pub but he was at the Grand Costa casino at the moment.

"Calling our people to prepare. We are going to Grand Costa!"

The harsh voice ordered his followers. James immediately called his team.

Not long after that, the parade of black cars was driving in line, the destination was Stephan's number one enemy, Bernardo Costa!
