Chapter 5

"Oh, what are you waiting for? Get on that horse so we can get away."

Gabrielle glared at Chase.

"When I was a kid, I fell on a carabao so I was afraid to ride on such things. I had a phobia and another, how can I ride eh I have a beautiful bouquet?" she complained.

Chase raised an eyebrow at her, then took the bouquet of white roses she was holding in her hand.

"Then, throw away this bouquet." He commented.

"What to throw?! That is mine!"

It smiled sarcastically at her.

"Guile, come here!"

Guile approached them.

"What is that, Sir?"

"Here, throw it away... I mean! Put it in the vase and take it to Gabo's room. So, it doesn't seem embarrassing to the giver..." he glanced at Sky.

The latter smiled and just waved.

"Okay, sir."

Guile picked up the bouquet and walked away. Chase turned to Gabrielle again.

"Oh what, do you still have a complaint?"

Gabrielle stared sharply at the man.

"I don't know how to ride a horse."

"I will support you."

"What if I fall?"

"I will pick you up. What, do you want me to lift you up and file there? Come on, waste of time! Move!"

Gabrielle faced the horse and she smiled. Because of its beauty and elegance. Only now did she see a real stallion. She stroked the horse's forehead, it was gentle. Her smile widened.

"Don't drop me ah?" she said.

She took a deep breath and looked at the saddle. She was stunned when Chase went in front of her. It cupped its clasped hands.

"You step here in my hands so you don't have a hard time riding my horse Lightning."

"Okay, Sir. You said so."

She no longer hesitated to step on its hands and thanks to it because she was riding fast. She took a deep breath as she looked down. She stroked the horse's back. She could not believe she was now riding in a massive stallion. She used to only dream of it. She took a deep breathe, she wants to feel this moment.. Riding a beautiful stallion horse. But she suddenly lost her moment when Chase suddenly got on the horse and stood behind her.

Geez! Her nape was tickled again by his hot breath. He grabbed the reins and almost hugged her because of that. Her lips parted. The horse walked slowly and without her own grasp, she grabbed the young man's right arm...

"I-I might fall!" she exclaimed.

"Gabo, you will not fall. I am here, trust me. Lean on me if you are scared."

Gabrielle fell silent and swallowed. The man just hugged her and then leaned on his body? It feels good to hit sometimes...

"I-I think I'm fine. I think I'm getting a little used to it and I'm losing my fear. It's just a little..." she excused herself.

She feels awkwardness.

"Is that so? It's your first time riding a horse?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, what did you and Sky talk about earlier?"

She frowned. Why did it even investigate that matter.

"Nothing much but he was flirting with me, a little?” she smiled.

She really laughs at Sky. It's because it's cute to flirt so maybe it's a lot of female victims but she's not... She's also a bolera so Sky's strategies won't work.

"And you really like that one flirting with you?!"

She does not understand but this one seems angry?

"Any woman, it would be nice if Sky flirted like that. One more thing, that was my trip... That guy who flirts with me and attracts. My kind of taste!" her laughed language.

Chase was shocked by what he heard, eh, this one is also fragile!

"Huh, you're still hopeful. That one won't take you seriously so don't give up. Don't add to the women he victimized."

Gabrielle shook slightly. It was earlier against Sky.

"I'm not going to be victimize by him. I'm just riding on his joke but that didn't mean I was a game. I’m not a fool! By the way, when is my day-off?"

Chase frowned and looked at Gabrielle's white nape. Seems like good to kiss? Just against it, it's a dish... Chase shook his head, what else was he thinking? Then he turned his attention back to the road.

"Why did you suddenly ask me about the day-off?"

"Eh because Sky told me... He said, he wants to make up to me for what he have done at he said, it was a date. You know, he shot me in the neck with a tranquilizer?"

"Tsk! Don't date that one, he can't be trusted. Because of that, you have no day-off!"

Gabrielle slapped the man's right arm.

"What's wrong with you! Sky is your friend, and then you telling me that?" she said.

"Oh, you take care of that. That's why I'm telling you because Sky is my friend, I know him better. That's nice of you, he won't let you go. What if he uses a tranquilizer on your date? You are a dead child, Gabo! Don't blame me because I'm stopping you..."

Because of what Chase said, Gabrielle's mind changed quickly. This time, she will believe it more because he has known Sky for a long time.

"I think it would be better if I followed your advice." she finally said.

She heard the man's weak laugh.

"What, are you scared?"

Because it brought his mouth a little closer to her neck, she was more tickled and lost.

"Do not put your mouth close to my neck when you speak."

"Why?"

"I'm tickled!"

"Is that so? Wow!"

It breathed against her. And she was shivered because of his hot breathe tingling in her nape.

"Eeeh!" she scream.

The man laughed and she angrily slapped his arm. After that, she just leaned on its wide body. She looked at it foolishly because he was suddenly stunned. And in fairness, the pleasure of leaning on its wide body... This is probably her best job?!

"What do you think you’re doing?" Chase said suddenly.

"You said, can I lean?" she asked with a smile.

Chase stared at her but his frugal smile did not escape her. Seems like, he is restraining himself from laughing? She just ignored it and just turned her attention to the views they were going through... And almost all the people they were passing were greeting Chase. They kept quiet until they reached the wide mango farm. People looked at them and they smiled... All the mangoes are harvesting. Chase got off the horse first and it helped her down. It tied the horse to the branch of the mango tree.

"Come on, follow me Gabo."

She silently followed Chase. When she arrived at the mango harvesters, the man introduced her to everyone...

"What am I going to do here?" she asked Chase.

From his pants pocket he took his phone.

"Hold on this because I'm going to work."

He handed over the phone and she immediately took it from the man. He then went to a crate full of mango fruit. They are imported and about the size of a human head, the upper part is a little red with yellow and the overall color is very green. Chase approached her and handed her the big mango fruit...

"Oh there, eat mango so you can do something."

She raised an eyebrow and immediately took the large mango fruit. That's heavy.

"Fine. Thank you!" her smiled language.

The man turned around and she went to the pallet next to her. She borrowed a knife she could use. She immediately peeled the mango and ate it. That is manibalang(Manibalang means when the mango fruit is not that ripe. The sweet and sour taste of the fruit combines at this stage). She dips in salt...

"It's a good life. If it's always like this, I won't leave here." Gabrielle smiled.

She looked at Chase. It is precisely this that carefully picks the fruits wrapped in the newspaper. That is why the skin is smooth. The mango trees they source are not very tall. The fruits are only within reach. In fact, each tree is equipped with bamboo supports for the branches so as not to break the weight and quantity of fruits. While she was eating, she did nothing but watch her handsome boss... With each movement, his arm muscles were stretched. She stopped biting properly as Chase wiped the sweat off his face with his shirt. As a result, its abs are exposed in the abdomen. She think, she was suddenly starved here.

"Yummy." she said softly.

She bit into the slice of mango she was holding and could not take her eyes off Chase. Then she suddenly shook her head and laughed to herself.

"You should clear your mind. He is your boss, don’t think any nonsense." she preached to herself.

She bit hard on the piece of mango slice...

"But, he really look good..." she whispered.

She took a deep breath to clear her brain. She looked at the phone she was holding and searched for Guile's name. She called it. Just a few rings and he answered her call.

"Sir?!"

"This is Gabrielle, Guile."

"Sister, is there a problem?"

"Nothing. Can you bring Chase's clean clothes and a towel?"

She heard Guile's weak laugh.

"Are you really babysitting that damulag ah?"

"Well, just follow me. It’s my job and he’s paying me a big amount of money." she just said.

"All right, I'll go there later when Mom cooks your lunch."

"Okay, thank you very much. Bye!"

"Bye!"

She smiled and looked at Chase again. She had nothing to do but look at his beautiful body and his handsome face. She will be satisfied. She did not know, but she was not attracted to Sky even though he had flirted with her before.
