"I just wanted telling you that you are handsome and perfect and I love men like you," her voice comes out in slow motion, by the very nature of it, her honesty in what she is saying comes out clearly."But I told you this isn't the time for relationship. I just needed you to be my secretary, then you will act as my girlfriend just to make my wife jealous anytime she comes to my office for the court proceedings?""I don't want to be in that type of a romantic relationship with you, let's say an intimate platonic relationship is what I need from you.""Hmm," Derek sighs.

You don't need to stress yourself.""Wow, that's exactly what I'll do upon getting back to the company." He wasn't interested in returning soon but now the urge to go back has set in now. "I can't disappoint Jaria and her parents." He says to himself. He had told them that he would be staying for two days."But I can't go back now?""Yes, till we return. I also want to spend some time with my family. It's been long I saw them and I don't know the next time I'll see them again."Derek agrees to stay one more day with her family and would be leaving after tomorrow.

She had heard what he just said. She takes her hand and drapes it round his shoulders, then pulls her head to rest on his arms. She looks pleadingly into his eyes, she thinks Emily also needs help and wants to communicate about this with him."Emily is also grown up and is still working under my parents without having anything to do to earn her own money. I know that's what she is paid to do but fifty dollars a month is nothing to me."Derek gasps. "She's been paid fifty dollars?" He is surprised to hear this."Yeah," Jaria shrugs her shoulders, maintaining a serious face which should let Derek know that she is saying the truth. "My parents don't have enough money to pay her, that's why.""Oh that's bad naturally, I'm not blaming them either. They are trying their best." He heaves heavily. "But what do you think I can do for both of them?" He asks her. Albert is enthusiastic that she is going to mention something which will be really beneficial to him."For Albert, you could give him

They are grown and should be financially independent but I know that you have really tried for them."Clara nods in acceptance. Dennis is thoughtful. Jaria prays that her parents accepts this but there is no excuse for them not to accept.
