THE HEIR'S BEDMATE
Chapters. 26. Bali Second Day.
After the fried rice breakfast drama, Edward did not take Laura anywhere. They only spent the remaining time relaxing in the villa. Laura began to feel bored, from yesterday just to stay silent in this luxurious villa.
Not without reason Edward did not take Laura for a walk out of the villa during the day. She was afraid that someone would recognize her by seeing her with Laura, and telling her family. The adult man did not want Laura to be in trouble, if until the mother found out.
“Boring once anyway. What is this like the life of a rich man?” Laura is monologuing, she looks around. This villa is really luxurious. The price is definitely expensive.
He saw Edward squirming in the pool, the desire to join the plunge evaporated from his heart. Unfortunately, he did not wear a swimsuit. The girl had never been out of the island, so she did not know what clothes to bring.
“Why?” Edward asked who was looking at him from the pool.
“You want to go swimming? Come.” Take it while extending one hand.
“I don't carry a swimsuit, Ed.” Laura replied with a nod.
“Do we need to buy it first?”
Laura nodded at the man's words. “No need, Ed.”
“Then, just wear that outfit.” Edward pointed at Laura who was wearing a white T-shirt and a black hot pant.
Laura thought. Edward's proposal wasn't bad. Anyway, the shirt is not too thin. When else can swim in the luxury villa, which has a view to the high seas. The girl nodded and threw herself into the pool.

“We're home at what time, Ed?” Laura asked who was busy drying her hair.
They had just finished swimming and rinsing themselves. Now they are in the room. With the position of Edward who sat leaning on the head of the bed while playing his smart phone. And Laura who was in front of the dresser.
“Devano asks you, Ed”
A message went into Edward's phone, which made him focus on his phone and not hear a question from Laura.
“You didn't say I was out of town?” Edward sent a reply.
Laura turned to the adult man who was busy with his phone. “Didn't he hear me?” Grumpy the girl.
He then turned off his hair dryer. Then get closer to the bed and sit on the other side.
“Ed.” Laura rubbed Edward's arm.
“Hah”. The adult man was surprised. Almost got his phone out of his hand.
“What's up, Ara?” He put his phone on the bed, in an inverted position so that the phone screen faces down.
“What time do we go home?” Laura repeated the question.
“Flight hours 9 nights”.
‘What's 9pm? It's still 4pm. I can die of boredom here’
“Make dinner, so you don't feel bored.” Edward seemed to know what the sweet girl was feeling.
“Cooking dinner, now?” Laura asked in disbelief.
“Yes, you can cook anything. When you need to spend the stock of groceries in the refrigerator.” Answer the man with a smile.
The girl puffed both of her cheeks. He was very upset with this 35-year-old man. He did not think, why be in Bali if only lazing alone.
‘Really I want to poison you, Ed.’
*****
Monica's father was a Rector at the Hugo family's university, where Laura studied. Monica's mother owns a cake shop.
On weekends like this Monica's parents are usually not at home, they will go visit Monica's grandmother's house outside the city.
“Honey, what's wrong with your phone?” Monica asks Johan, after she sees the man turning his phone back.
“Darling, why is the boss really no news huh?” The man turned to ask his girlfriend.
“Hah” Monica wastes her breath rough.
“Not yesterday did you say, it's good that the boss has no news? Why are you asking back now?” Sewot the girl.
“Yes too, baby. But it's the longest record the boss hasn't contacted me, as long as I'm his assistant.” Johan's gaze glared far away.
Monica approached Johan, she placed her chin on the man's shoulder.
“Darling, I was wondering how did you start to be Edward's assistant boss?” Monica poked Johan's cheek.
Johan took his breath in, and threw it away violently. He has worked with Edward for 7 years. He became a witness, how bitter the sweetness of Edward's life for 7 years.
“I was just an OB back then, baby. Though I am a graduate, but the vacancy at that time was only in the OB.” section Johan chuckles, seeing his lover gaping in disbelief.
“Close your mouth, baby. There will be flies that enter”. Monica shut her mouth.
“Continue darling”. Declared.
“Almost a year I worked as an OB, I was trusted to clean the President's office. I'm happy to do so, hoping that one day President Hugo offers me a higher position.”
Johan paused his story, he gulped down a little orange juice available in front of him.
“One day he asked me to speak. He asked me a lot of things. The longer the conversation we impressed like a ‘interview’. And sure enough, a few days later I was asked to be his personal assistant.” Johan smiled at the end of the story.
“Since when did you stay with him?” Ask the girl again.
“New 4 years ago, babe. She felt sorry for me who had to leave early in the morning to wake her up. Because the distance from my boarding house to the penthouse is a little far. About 45 minutes.” Johan pressed his shoulders.
“Are you not afraid to stay alone with him?” Monica was like a reporter interviewing her source.
“Why be afraid? Do you think we men are not normal?” Johan turned his head towards his lover, accidentally touching their nose.
Monica turned her face away. I don't know why he was nervous.
“Honey, has the boss ever had a lover or wife?” Ask Monica again. He tried to get rid of his nervousness.
“If about it, forgive me dear. I can't tell you. I've been told by the boss about his personal life, but I was sworn not to tell anyone else, without permission from the boss.”
Monica nodded her head. He understood, there were some people who did not want the secret to be spread, but they still told the secret to someone they trusted.
