That afternoon, Edward, Valerie, Jenna and Julian were having a meeting to discuss the cooperation they had agreed on at a restaurant.
The four-point meeting was held to discuss cooperation between the two sides.
Edward was sitting next to Valerie, and Jenna was next to Julian.
After the discussion of the work problem is completed. Then they continued with the lunch.
Jenna at that time as much as possible to be professional and calm. Although the lewd video between Valerie and Julian that he witnessed last night now filled his mind.
Although the video was a long time ago and may have happened before Vale became pregnant. That still bothered Jenna.
Especially at this time, he was the first to meng ACC cooperation. Now inevitably, he and Julian will often interact with Vale.
Jenna felt sorry for agreeing to the cooperation proposal.
Although Jenna was trying to be normal. She had been watching Vale and her husband.
Jenna watched every move and gesture Julian's body. When Julian glanced at Vale, who happened to be sitting right before him.
Vale who at that time did not realize that Jenna was actually watching him, Vale was just plain ordinary.
By peeping through the eyes of his tail. Jenna could see Julian occasionally watching Valerie with unusual eyes.
"It looks like your desert is delicious Vale" said Edward, glancing at Vale's desert which was still half the rest.
"May I try it?" said Edward.
"But" Vale hadn't spoken yet, Edward had tasted Valerie's desert. Even Edward used the same spoon that Vale had used.
"Enak." said Edward.
"If you want, I'll order. I was wearing my spoon" Valerie said.
"Indeed why I used your old spoon. I don't have Vale disease. Take it easy." said Edward, who now spends the rest of Vale's desert.
"I'll order a new one for you" Edward said after he finished Vale's desert.
"No need sir, I'm full." replied Vale briefly.
"Then I'll order a cake for you to take home. You can give it to Elenor." said Edward, who suddenly made Julian cough.
Seeing her husband coughing, Jenna then gave a glass of water to Julian.
"What's wrong with you Julian?" ask Jenna flat.
"It's nothing dear, thank you." Julian then drank the water Jenna gave him. While drinking the water, Julian turned his gaze toward Edward. In my heart, Julian asked. Why did Edward find out about his daughter Elenor.
Edward, who was watching Julian, thought. Edward felt Julian's face remind him of Elenor's. There are similarities between Julian's face and Elenor's.
And inwardly, Edward guessed whether Julian was Elenor's biological father. But Edward chose to ignore his prejudices.
After the meeting and lunch was over. Both Jenna, Julian, Edward and Vale finally said goodbye to each other.
Vale is in a car with Edward heading to the office. While driving, Edward invites Vale to chat.
"Your attitude changed the last time we met in my room. Do you feel offended by what I said the other day, which is peddling you to get married." asked Edward who felt Vale was cold towards him afterwards.
"No sir, I'm not offended. I know you were just kidding me at the time." - Sergeant Vale.
"What if I'm not kidding. What if I was serious, you wanted to be my wife." Edward asked really.
Vale turned to look at Edward. Edward who was driving at that time occasionally glanced at Valerie.
"I'm honestly not thinking about getting married again. I enjoy my solitude. I want to enjoy time with my daughter. I'm happy now with my life now."
"Yet, you also need a companion. In order to protect you Vale." said Edward, Vale then chuckled at the boss's words.
"Since childhood I have been able to protect myself Sir. I'm not thinking about a companion for now" Valerie explained.
"If you don't mind, may I find out who the ex-husband is?" Hearing the question, Vale then turned to look at Edward.
"I don't think you need to know that."
"Why, I just want to know who Elenor's biological father is. I'm just curious, your daughter as beautiful as that must be her father is also handsome." Edward said with a smile. Vale smiled too.
"Sorry, but I can't tell you that."
"Well, I won't force you to tell a story."
"But to be honest, all this time I've been really curious about who Elenor's biological father is. You said he was a wealthy businessman. I'm also curious about your life. The previous one." said Edward, who wanted to know little by little about Vale's life.
"Many things you don't know about me. If you know much about me. I'm sure you'll never offer me to marry you. Even if it's just a joke."
"What's wrong with your life. I see you, you're a good woman. You're a persistent, warrior, and courageous woman. You're not only smart, but you're also amazing. Even you're a good mother. You're perfect in my eyes." praise Edward.
"But I'm not that perfect. You judge too good for me. I'm far from being well judged by Mr."
"Don't call me Father, when we're alone. You can call me Father if we're in one office."
"Yes, the guy named David, are you dating him?"
"He's my best friend."
"She seems to like you."
"I don't want to give anyone hope. I said, I am comfortable with my solitude. I want to focus on my daughter. I want her to be proud of her Mommy. Because we've been separated for a long time, and I've been leaving him for the last 5 years. Now I want to devote all my attention to my only daughter."
"Sometimes I'll take you to my house. I want to take you to see my mother." said Edward.
"For what?" ask Vale marketing.
"To introduce you to my mother. If I had a new friend. Don't you take my offer for a joke the other day. I'm serious, but maybe I'm saying it's less formal. Because you still want to enjoy your solitude. I appreciate that. But we can be good friends from now on. I hope, we are not my superiors and subordinates. But I also want to be your friend."
Hearing that, Valerie could not answer what. He just lowered his head.
