Chapter 203 - 203. Louis

After that Brian looked up and looked at Elena.

"You also have to give me a boost of encouragement." Brian said as he looked Elena's eyes intensely.

"What nonsense are you saying." Elena denies with a flushed face. Shame at the thought that she had to give Brian a kiss on the man's cheeks.

The two of them had been having sex before and cheek kisses just sounded so mundane and simple. But things are clearly different. They used to have sex because of the demands of a contract agreement, whereas now there are no more demands like that. So, it would be a shame if Elena took the initiative to kiss Brian on both cheeks.

"Come on, or you wanna get a boost on your first day of work." Brian teased seeing Elena's face, which was slightly flushed.

"Never mind, I have to get off now before it's too late." Elena tried to avoid by turning around and was about to open the car door again. Brian again grabs Elena's arm and this time pulls her back around and quickly kisses her on the lips.

Not satisfied with just a kiss, Brian chewed Elena's lips briefly before releasing her. He looked at Elena's face and saw the woman who was still staring in shock by Brian's impromptu action.

"I've been wanting to wipe off the lipstick on your lips. It's really tempting and I don't want another man to see it." Said Brian explaining his impromptu action. Which made Elena's face a little annoyed. But the woman could not cover the blush that was increasingly visible on her cheeks.

"You've got a boost from me. Now you can go to work, elena." Brian said with a big smile on his handsome face.

A little annoyed Elena slapped Brian's arm lightly.

"Don't ever do that again, you startled me." Said Elena.

"So, can I kiss you if it doesn't startle you?" Tease Brian.

"That's not what I mean. Ah never mind. I have to get off now, before it's too late." said Elena who finally got out of the car. She also didn't forget to bring the big bag she had prepared beforehand.

"Call me when you're done work, I'll pick you up." Brian shouted loud enough because Elena had walked to the side of the Cafe, to where the employee door was. After Elena's shadow disappeared from his sight, Brian restarted his car and drove to Fernandez's company.

When Elena entered the cafe she saw that there was already shelina, Evelyn and Kevin there.

"Elena, you've come." Say hello to Evelyn. Elena nods.

"You just leave it with the above. There are already aunty Nia and Denis there."

"Yes, I left Dean to aunty Nia first." Elena said and went upstairs to Shelina's room. The atmosphere is already there, Nia and Denis. The baby who is the same age as Dean is playing on his stomach.

"Aunty, I'll leave Dean first." Said Elena who lowered Dean from her arms. She laid Dean down beside Denis.

"Yes." Whispered Nia with a friendly smile. After that Elena went back downstairs. She had to change her clothes before working on baking cookies and cake in the kitchen.

After Elena changed her clothes into her uniform she went into the kitchen and shared tasks with Kevin. And Elena excitedly got to work.

...

As per the agreement, Elena only worked five hours at the Wonderful cafe. It could be said that the woman worked really to get rid of her boredom. Plus she was still too reluctant to leave dean in the eyes of others.

So at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Elena is done with work. She changed her clothes and carried Dean and sat down at one of the tables in the corner. It is lunch hour now, there are some people who come to wonderful cafe to relax after their lunch. So that the table is filled with customers.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" Asked a man to Elena.

Elena looked up and saw a handsome man in an office suit standing beside her. The man still looks young with a handsome face, clear eyes and a gentle smile.

Elena's forehead frowned in confusion because she didn't know the man.

"All seats are full, so can I sit here?" Said the man explaining the reason.

Hearing those words, Elena turned her head and looked around. The current Wonderful Cafe is filled with customers and some of the chairs and tables are already occupied by people.

So, it was only natural that this young man in front of her asked permission to sit in front of Elena because at this table only Elena was the one sitting.

Understanding the situation and circumstances, Elena with a polite smile invited the man to sit opposite her.

"Thank you," said the man politely and sat across from Elena. The young man looked the same age as diego. The man called Merina and ordered a glass of cappuccino and some light cookies.

After that he sat back and stared at the large window beside him while waiting for his order to come. Silence broke out between them. Elena tried to ignore the man's presence, but Elena was a little awkward because Dean was busy chattering his baby language. Afraid to disturb the man.

The man turned and smiled to see Dean who kept talking in his baby language.

"Is he your son?" Asked the man. Elena looked up and nodded.

"He's an active and smart baby." Praise the man who made Elena smile looking at Dean.

"What is his name?"

"Dean." Elena replied.

"Dean, besides being smart he is also very handsome."

"Thank you." Elena replied.

Their conversation stopped because Merina came to deliver the man's order.

The man drank his cappuccino and looked at Elena in slight surprise.

"You didn't order anything?" Asked the man who did not see food or drink in front of Elena.

"Not." Elena replied briefly which made the man's forehead frown in confusion.

"Actually, I'm one of the part time employees at this cafe. And my working hours have just finished. So, I sit back here first before going home."

"I see. No wonder you look familiar with the employees here." The man replied deeply by nodding his head.

"Oh, my name is Louis." Said the man with stretched out his hand.

Elena held Dean in her lap with her left hand and her right hand returned Louis's helping hand.

"Elena," Elena said simply.

"Please," Bargain Louis handed the cookies he ordered towards Elena. The man also took one cookie and ate it.

Out of courtesy, Elena took one cookie from the plate and ate it.

"Hmm, these cookies taste different from before. It tastes better and the sweetness is just right." Louis commented as he devoured the cookies in his hand.

"Is it true?" Elena asked, a little enthusiastic and relieved. Because she was the one who made the cookies this morning. Previously, Elena was worried that customers would not like her cookies because she hasn't cooked them for a long time. But hearing Louis's praise, Elena was relieved.

"Yes. I think the chef was in a really good mood when making it." Said Louis the song which made Elena smile shyly. This made Louis stare at Elena in confusion

"What's the matter? Is the chef really in a good mood or has the chef changed to something else?" Asked Louis curiously.

"No, the previous chef was still working. Only a new chef helped him and she made the cookies." Said Elena. She didn't say the new chef was her. Because it would be very embarrassing if she said that after the man praised her cookies.

"Really? Then I have to thank her because the sweetness of these cookies is so much to my taste." Louis said that by eating one more cookie.

Elena smiled at Louis's words.

"Is it certain that wonderful cafe loyal customers can distinguish the taste of the cookies?" The question that can be guessed what the answer is.

Louis nodded.

"Yes, if I don't have a meeting outside, I'll stop by for coffee and cookies here."

"Is your office nearby?" Elena asked curiously.

"Yes, my office is nearby. So I stop by more often after lunch." Louis replied again. The two of them continued chatting lightly. Until it was felt that half an hour had passed. Lois looked at his watch, he had to leave immediately because his break time was up and he had to go back to work.

"Elena, I have to get back to work. Nice to chat with you." Said Louis, who began to stand up and put down the money to pay for his order.

"Yes, nice to chat with you." Said Elena with a friendly smile. And so Louis walked away.

Elena is still sitting there, she still wants to enjoy the atmosphere of sitting relaxed in the cafe and will call Brian at four in the afternoon to pick her up.
