Chapter 9: Chapter 9

"Pedro is correct about everything I hear?" Leo asked Leo, making sure he, after the other day alana complained about the state of his deceased mother's main bakery, Leo immediately confirmed to pedro.

"Yes that's right?"

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

"I reported it to you, and you agreed to it?"

"When?" asked Leo in a slightly high tone, the chapter of himself not remembering pedro reporting on the chef's assignment.

"I told you to be the chef and set up shop is the old people we can trust, didn't you say you didn't approve?"

"But you're ___"

"And you said it was better to trust the old man alone, and so I put it all in the hands of that one chef, because he was the only true, trustworthy old man, after all. "Cut off an pedro when Leo wants to interrupt his explanation.

"And do we give him a fair wage?" Leo asked

"Of course, we pay more than most cooks, at first he refuses, but after a few months he finally agrees," pedro explained, looking at Leo.

"Why are you asking about the cook all of a sudden?" Then pedro returned

"No, I'm just making sure that my people all receive their rights correctly," Leo replied as he wheeled his wheelchair up to the cluttered desk of paper pedro had brought from the office.

"Why are you always bringing this pile of paper to me?" Said Leo who had placed himself in front of the table and began picking up papers that would keep him confined to his office all day.

"It's because you rarely go to the sheikh's office "pedro said when Leo caught his eye.

"I just don't feel well, don't you concern my absence with his coming"

"Like you know what I'm gonna say." Pedro blurted his mocking tone that was so infuriating in Leo's ear, Leo well knows that now pedro must be poking fun at him because of alana's presence in his life.

"I can already read pedro your shitty face" Leo replied, making him finally laugh out of it that filled into Leo's study

.

"If your business is done you'd better go back to the office, you don't want the other employees to think you're eating a blind cow when they realize you're rarely in the office." Leo said.

"Then what would they think of you that you haven't even been seen back at the office, maybe they'll start thinking you're broke." Pedro's wobbling over to the sofa and picking up his briefcase, while Leo does not want to respond to anything pedro says because Leo hasn't been able to go to the office lately, he feels his bodily condition has lately fallen a little, Leo often feels his aching leg, Can't make it walk again. Leo then looked back at pedro, who was about to pull the door back and stop him.

"Pedro."

"Yes, boss, never mind" pedro answered in his embarrassed tone.

"Don't forget to ask our driver to pick alana up in an hour." Leo's remark made pedro's ugly smile come out again, just as pedro opened his mouth to mock his friend but immediately made him swallow his taunts again when Leo threatened him.

"Stop your goddamn smile before I completely burn all these paperwork." Threatened Leo, who had succeeded in having pedro stare at him with a disapprover look, it is because if Leo had actually burned all those reports that would be made to suffer, he would have had to recompose the report from beginning to end only to ask for one signature from the company owner and that was the one thing that pedro hated about his job, even though Leo paid very dearly and still couldn't do anything about it.

"Being a boss is the most fun thing" pedro murmured, pulling the handle off the door and making it out of Leo's office in a bad way and for some reason when threatening it became a personal amusement for Leo, watching pedro sulk as he does today. Pedro then chose to go right back to the office but stopped at the sight of Bruce who had just got out of the car and walked into the house, making pedro stop in his tracks.

"Here you are? "Asked Bruce with the warm smile he always showed to anyone.

"Yes, Sir. I delivered some documents to Mr. Leo." pedro said, bowing his head to Bruce who was Leo's foster uncle, Bruce was Leo's half-brother, who might be the only living relative Leo left besides rose. He had everything in a material way, but on pedro's family matters were a bit concerned, because Leo had a story that was not as great as his material and alana's presence made his life somewhat easier to breathe, because his friend finally had someone to pay attention to.

Somehow, although pedro was unfamiliar with alana, but pedro believed alana could be someone Leo could count on, somehow pedro could always read a person's character by just looking at him and his feelings were always right, as at this moment when pedro looked at Bruce made him feel a little uncomfortable, pedro was able to shoot Bruce's arrival this time.

At the beginning of pedro's meeting with Bruce while beginning his career as Leo's vassalage, pedro always felt that Bruce was not as good as he seemed to be, who was always kind and respectful of his subordinates, but of course it was only in his mind that pedro would not want to be labeled as an expert on Bruce.

"Is Leo in his study?" Pedro's reverie stopped when Bruce again asked him

"Yes, Mr. Leo is in his study," pedro replied

"Then I will see him," Bruce said, smiling again at pedro, after which he continued his steps toward Leo's study, pedro only nodded and bowed his head in response to Bruce's answer, after which he noticed Bruce's back displacing and disappeared behind Leo's door of the study

"I hope I don't get any extra work. "Pedro muttered as he predicted what problem Bruce would talk to Leo and then breathed his long before going back into his step.
