One missed Call

"Hello?

"What the hell are you doing!" Jonathan kept the cellphone away from his ear, was that scream is necessary?

"I think I've stuck to the things on your schedule, there is no problem with them."

"You sure you did it right, then where is Jessica right now?"

"No need to remembering your schedule, of course, she's having lunch right now. It's everyone's hungry hour, and if you don't mind I'm also having lunch right now. We all need to eat, if there's nothing important you want to say then let's end this call."

"Shit, did you go crazy because I just left for a few days?" Hans raged on the other end of the line. Jonathan didn't know that he was touching Hans's patience limit.

"Sorry I don't understand your complaint."

"Tell me where is Jessica now?"

"I told you she's lunch now."

"I know that, and according to her schedule she should have lunch at the office this time but you even let her go out with that guy, Thomas."

"If you already know, then why are you calling me to at this time?"

"Didn't you listen to me, when I told you to keep Jessica away from those damn men ?!"

Jonatan sighed, trying to come up with an excuse, "it's her life, she has the right to decide with who she wants to eat with, after all, I'm only her secretary. We're both just her assistants, why need to arrange things further like that?"

Hans was silent for a while after hearing Jonathan's resistance.

"Let's see if you will say this again in the future." Finally, Hans hung up the phone.

Long calls were pointless and a waste of time. Jonathan knows this will happen when Jessica excuses herself to go out to lunch with Thomas.

Complaining things like that to Jonathan doesn't change anything. Hans should have contacted Jessica directly and filed his complaint.

The woman had to keep her promise that she would take care of Hans when the man returned or Jonathan would really end.

***

Thomas uses the opportunities he has. Taking Jessica to a quality lunch with a beautiful view of the suburbs to overcoming her stress lately.

Jessica lunch in a peaceful atmosphere Jessica was so happy, Thomas didn't ask much. Thomas enjoyed every expression of satisfaction that appeared on Jessica's face as she chewed her food.

"You always know how to throw all my emotions and stress on the ocean floor."

A compliment from Jessica seemed to be able to fill Thomas's entire stomach right away.

"The scenery and air are pretty good here." From her place now, Jessica can see the tall urban buildings that appear to be sticking out here and there.

"Then I'll invite you over here another time."

Jessica smiled and nodded lightly, of course, this could happen because Hans was not there. Jessica doubted a little that they could return to that place another time.

"I thought your cell phone is ringing."

"My cell phone?" Jessica didn't notice. After enjoying the lunch, Jessica even forgot that she was waiting for the cell phone to ring.

It even had a special ring tone set for someone's call. So Jessica will immediately know who called her. Because there is only one person in contact who would sound like that.

Jessica didn't want to get our hopes up too much. So to make sure, she reached for her bag and looked at her phone. The was him. It's a call from Hans. A call that she had been waiting for since yesterday.

The ring tone was end and becoming one missed call.
