Selfish Jerk

"Say Noah.. Aren't you afraid that you might get Natalie pregnant to what happened last night?" Jin can't help but ask.

Noah who's trying to get some sleep, open his eyes instantly. Panic is written all over his face.

"When I look at her when she meets us in the lobby. Looks like you've been harsh on her. With those marks and bruises for sure you give her no mercy at all." Jin adds. When he saw Natalie a while ago. Shock is an understatement. She looks so worn-out and like her body is gone on a very hard training or excessive exercise.

"She can't get pregnant!!" Noah said in panic.

"Well I hope so.. You know very well that, that woman is head over heels in love with you."

"She knows from the start that I'm already married. I also clear to her that I can't return back what she feel to me.!!"

"Woman who's deeply in love can be cunning fox most of the time. You spend a lot of time together before we go back here. You have this mutual understanding."

"Our mutual understanding is just more about our bodies needs. She first offers me herself and promise to not interfere with my personal life including my marriage life, in exchange to keep her under my wings."

"Aren't you being unfair with her? I mean it's not that I'm on her side or anything. She's still a woman."

"She's the one who made this set up for us. I don't feel anything that will make it difficult for me or take advantage of me so I agree."

"Then tell me.. Did you use condom last night?"

"I.. I don't know. I told you!! I can't remember why we end up in bed, when I promised myself that I won't sleep again to anyone but only with my wife!!!." Noah tug his hair up in irritation. "I'm sure she's in pill. I always told her to take always."

"Well.. Good luck then." Jin said and continued to drive away to their destination.

Yui wake up the following day with full of energy. Three days of complete rest and sleep gave her a great feeling. He went outside to look for Josh. She can't see him anywhere. She looked at the time. It's already 10 in the morning!!! She saw a note on the fridge.

"I didn't wake you up so you can rest more. Don't worry I can handle this for now. Breakfast on the table. Eat well. See you later - Josh."

Yui slapped her forehead. She felt guilty because of this. She look at the food on the table. All of it is her favorite. She decided to take a shower first then think about how she can make it up to him.

After eating her breakfast. Yui decided to cook lunch. Foraging the fridge, she took out all the ingredients she can use when she suddenly stopped on her mid-way. She doesn't know what's Josh favorite food. She immediately get her laptop and made a video call to her brother.

"Baby Mae!!!!.. How are you?"

"I'm good Nick. Are you at the office? Are you with big brother?"

"Yup. He's in his office why?"

"I just want to ask something."

"What is it? Maybe I can help you."

"Did you.. Do you know Josh's favorite food?" She asked shyly. "I woke up late this morning and he's already gone to work. He did all the work here ever since we arrived."

"That's why you decided to do something in return? You want to cook something for him but you don't know what kind of food he likes?" Nick said, like he can read her mind.

Yui nod at him.

"I see.. I'll call you back later. OK?"

"OK.. Thanks Nick." Then the call ended.

After some minutes pass. Nick called her back, this time she saw Hannah and her big brother Jake. They tell her all the foods that Josh really like. She eagerly listened to all they say. She even wrote it all on her organizer. From the food he likes, to the food he hates, even to the food he's allergic with. At the end of it she learned one important thing about him.

They both like Mango ice-cream cake!!

After telling her what she wanted to know they bid their goodbyes to her.

"Wait.. I don't know how to get there. Tell me the way to go in the office big brother."

"I'll ask someone to pick you up."

"No.. Don't!!!.. I mean, this is supposed to be a surprise right?"

"Don't worry. I won't tell him you're coming. Besides, it's hard to commute if you're not familiar with the place."

"OK then.. Thank you big brother."

"No problem. Just don't overworked yourself. Both of you. I sent you there together to distract each other because both of you are workaholic monster."

"I know.. Bye bye.. Mwahh" She ended the call. She don't have much time left before lunch. She look at the list of the dishes that Josh like. She chose the one she thinks easy to cook. But after almost 20 minutes of trying she can't perfect it.

Well she's not perfect. When it comes to academics and work related in her course that's the one she's proud of. But when it comes to cooking she really sucks!. That's why she always makes sure that she has enough supplies of instant food in her apartment. After a few more minutes she give up.

Without wasting anymore time, she called for hotel service and request to cook some dishes for her. She also asked them to make their favorite mango ice-cream cake. After calling the hotel service she starts cleaning the mess she made in the kitchen and get ready to go.

As what her brother said, someone picked her up on the lobby of the hotel. Carrying the food she ask to cook, She made her way to the company where Josh is.

At the reception she asked for Josh office.

"Excuse me. I'm here for Mr. Josh Hatori. May I know in which floor his office is.?"

"Your name Ma'am please?"

"Yui-- I mean Mae. Mae Sato."

"Oh my God!! You're Yuiren Mae? Why Mrs. Hatori Good afternoon. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. Please wait for a second I'll ask someone to bring you upstairs."

"Wait.. Wha--"

"But before she can continue a voice from behind greeted her.

" Ms. Mae? I'm Rhonna. Secretary of the President. Mr. Saotori already called me. Don't worry I didn't tell to Mr. Hatori that you're here. Please come this way I'll bring you up to him. "

" Thank you." Is all she can say. She can't help but feel insecure toward the woman in front of her. She's very gorgeous. Tall and slender. A beauty queen type of woman.

"I'm Mr. Hatori's secretary whenever he's here. I will also help you familiarize all around here." She said while they're on their on the elevator.

The elevator stops on the top floor. They walk outside as she guided her toward their destination.

"Kindly stay here for a moment. DJ is still in the meeting it'll be than any minute soon."

"DJ?"

"Oh.. Sorry about that. I used to call him that name when no one else around." She smiled at her sweetly.

"You know each other? I mean aside from work are you two are close friends?"

"Yeah.. You can say that."

"How long did you know each other?"

"Hmmm.. Let's see." Rhonna stops for a moment. She's tapping her chin with her index finger, like she's thinking about what she's going to say. Then she smiled at her. "We know each other since we were kids." she said proudly.

"Oh.. I see." A childhood friend. She thought.

"I'll leave you now here. If you need something, please feel free to call me. DJ will be here any moment now."

"I will. Thank you." Then she left her alone.
