Rosa put down her baby on the bed and quickly change into proper clothes. Then, she searches her phone to call her half-sister.
"Olivia! Explain to me why you had rent Big Boss house to me!?" Rosa asked after her sister answer the phone.
However, it is not her sister who answers the phone, but the operator's voice comes out from it. She dials again and again but fails to reach her sister again. Damn that sister! She planned this!? Rosa looks at her daughter. Her daughter had been quietly lay down on the bed with a grimace and red on her face then a loud fart comes from her bottom.
Rosa gives a big sigh, "Baby, I'm stress now and you reward me with your smelly treasure?"
The baby giggled looking at her mother's funny stressed face. She thought her mother praising her for pooping well. After bathing her baby, she left the room and look at Louis who was sleeping deeply on the couch without a shirt on! Rosa shakes her head, how can this guy continue to sleep! Her phone beep, she receives a text from her sister.
'Dear sister, I am not in ABC country now. We are spending our honeymoon in AAA country for a few days. So, I hope you will not disturb us. Is Louis had come back? I forgot to tell you your boss is your housemate. You had signed a rent contract for that house! Used it well and good luck working at the café! I will always support you! XOXO'
Rosa almost vomits blood after reading the text. What forgot??? She had planned this from the start! Arghhh! Is this how a big sister treats her little sister!? I should not believe her from the start! She wants to take revenge on me for sharing the same blood with a different mother!
Rosa looks again at the man then she looks at her daughter who was also looking at the man. Her new toy. She wants to play with it, she gives Rosa pleading eyes but Rosa shakes her head.
"No. You cannot play with him." Rosa knows her baby likes to play with new people a lot, so she planned to bribe her daughter with food before her baby throws a tantrum.
"I let you eat a lot today, ok?" Rosa walk to the kitchen and let Damia sit on the baby chair. She cut some bananas into the kid bowl and give them to her baby. As soon the bowl touches the table, the baby lifts her hand and grab a lot of banana and greedily bring it to her mouth. She is still a six months old baby now, so her balance on lifting things is still poor and it makes the table and her bibs messy with the squeeze banana.
"Eat slowly, Mia." Rosa laughs at her baby greedy face. Then she boils some water to boil a soup of carrots and potatoes. She also makes scrambled eggs with baked beans. She let the carrots and the potato warm a little bit then she try to feed her baby with a spoon. But her baby wants to hold it by herself.
"Aaaaa!" Her baby let out some frustrated voice.
"Mia, you should learn to eat more like a lady like! Who wants to play with you if you mess up your food like this?" Rosa point at the table and the floor where the banana was over the place.
"I will play with this lady even she had a drool over her face." A deep voice comes from her back, she looks behind and saw a man with wet hair and a messy beard. He already wore a simple blue t-shirt and long comfort pants.
Without any shame, Louis takes a bowl from Rosa's hand and sits beside the baby. Then he picks a carrot and lets the baby hold it. Her baby looks at Louis with shining eyes. Her new toy is her hero!
"What are you doing?" Rosa asked.
"I am serving my lady. She had already marked me with her drool before." Louis said casually.
This big boss is weird! "Then please serve yourself to eat. I had made breakfast for you an apology."
"Apology?"
"My sister must have planned all of this, I'm sorry for living here for a while without your consent."
"Hmm..." Louis leans on the chair and looks at Rosa.
"You know that a single mother will be your housemate?"
"Nope. I even don't know that my house had been rented but I just received an email of a document about the rent and the rules."
Rosa frowns. She doesn't understand her sister's purpose. "You do not worry about it. I will find a new rental house and move out. But, right now, can you let me stay here before I found a new house?"
Louis wipes her baby's mouth naturally with a nearby napkin and gives potato to her baby. "I think the document is quite interesting and you had already signed the contract for a year. I don't find any problem with it."
"What? Are you serious? Are you letting a single mother living in your house? Besides that, I'm your worker. I don't think this is appropriate."
Louis looks at her face with lazy eyes. "So, you are willing to pay a penalty for terminate the contract?"
Rosa wrinkled her eyebrows and she feels angry. "That contract is not even your doing! The contract is void!"
Louis searches his phone in his pocket and gives it to Rosa. "I had just signed the contract. It is now a valid contract."
"WHAT!?" Rosa saw his sign, full name, and even a thumbprint on the contract.
Rosa has a headache. She buries herself in the contract and the rules that her sister had to make her signed. She regrets not making a copy! She had been cheated! She had read the contract, again and again, to find a mistake in it so that she can terminate the contract without pay any penalty, but there was nothing that she can do. Her sister had made the contract carefully like it was a project contract that cost millions of dollars!
They were seating in the living room, her baby giggled and babble a lot on Louis's laps. Louis didn't even talk and play with the baby only letting the baby play with his beard. Rosa remembers the written rules. She slides the document and looks at the rules. She hit her head and curse, why am I so stupid!? The rules are too suspicious!
I had a bad feeling when I read it for the first time, but I am blinded by this perfect house!!! Argh!! Rosa has you turn stupid after being a single mother!? She read again the rules. --- TEN RULES One. The tenant will make breakfast every day for the landlord. Two. The landlord will make dinner every day for the tenant. Three.

The café that she had to manage right now is like a lost child that needs guidance and care from a mother. She didn’t feel any pressure from it but the challenge to satisfy the customer and make a profit from it bring her joy. In the office room, the table is a mess with stacks of files and documents. Rosa works on the floor with her laptops, busy listing everything that needs to be done before she could promote the café officially on the internet. While her baby also was sitting not far from her on the baby mat. Throughout Rosa working, her baby will be babbling and be playing with her toys earnestly like having a serious job. She knows her mother is working and understand that she can’t disturb her mother. Knock. Knock. A door open before Rosa could answer. "Madam, It's already 8 o'clock." Sophia reminds her new manager. Rosa looks at her watch and looks at her baby. The café closed at 7
The next morning, as usual, Damia will always wake up first. Waking her up as she wanted to have her mother's milk. After her baby is full and satisfied, lazily she changed her baby diapers. When she is hungry, she goes to the kitchen with her baby in her arms. However, before she goes to the kitchen, she stops in the living room and she was quite surprised to see how messy the place is. She blinks her eyes dumbfoundedly as she looks there are four snack packaging which is empty and was placed on the floor and the sofa. Then maybe one of the snacks had fallen and there was a mess with chips spreading on the floor. When she glanced at the corner of the sofa, there were a few clothes and a towel. On the coffee table, there are about ten empty carbonated tins. Even the television is not switched off. She looks around to see if her big boss is nearby, but she didn’t see him. Then she walks to the kit
Rosa then saw a beautiful lady with blonde hair was sitting at the corner of the cafe. It's still early and there is only one stranger here, which means the stranger is the florist. Rosa gives her baby to Sophia and happily, Sophia takes the baby and brings her to the office which had become Rosa and the baby's private office room. When Rosa comes near to the lady, the lady smile and they both greet each other. “Call me Rosa.” Rosa acts friendly with the florist. “My name is Jessica but you can call me Jess.” The lady is very beautiful and her voice is sweet. “Jess.” Rosa smile. “I have been told by Zack that your florist shop is not far from here. I am sorry for not be able to visit your place and had you come here instead.” “Don’t worry about that. The shop is handled by me and my brother. My brother can handle everything over there and our shops are not busy early in the morning.” “I
These five days living with the big boss as a housemate, make her believe that she had two children to be taken care of. As usual, her baby will wake her up every early in the morning to have some milk and she will prepare breakfast. Today is Tuesday, the café is closed every Tuesday. After done having breakfast, she will clean the house, this is the most annoying part because her housemate had shown and proof a lot that he is a lazy bum! He seems to like to throw his clothes on every corner of the house and left unfinished packed snacks everywhere he goes. He messes anywhere he can whether it is a living room, the dining room even the toilet. He is totally like a three years old kid! And every time she confronts him about his habit, he will guiltily apologize to her and he tries hard to remember to not make a mess again. He had improved his habit a little bit but still needs to be scolded by Rosa. &
"Feeling better?" Louis asks with a low voice. After Rosa stop crying, he didn't let go of his hug. He felt her sudden stiff body and saw her red neck and ears which cause by her crying turns even redder now. Rosa nod. Louis looses his arms and Rosa quickly stands up and runs towards her bedroom with her baby. Louis can't help laughing after he saw Rosa's red embarrassed face. Today is Tuesday, their café is closed every Tuesday, so it is Rosa's first time stay in the house for the whole day with her housemate or should we call him big boss? It's almost noon, her stomach is growling but she doesn't want to get out of the room. She looks at her chubby little baby on the bed sleeping with a red nose and puffy eyes. She feels sorry for making her baby cry to sleep. Her baby never cries like that before. While feeling sorry, she musters up herself to get out to cook. She needs to eat for her baby! It
In the house, Rosa was cooking and can't stop feeling irritated with Louis. Since Damia suddenly blurt out 'Da Da' Louis can't stop repeating the word, hoping the baby can call it again. She also feels upset that the first word that her baby said is 'Da Da'. Even when her son's first word is 'Da Da'. How could you baby!? I have been carrying you for nine months! Suffering and enduring the pain until you are born! I also gave you milk from my body! Man can't even do that! They only have... beard!"Da. Da... Da. Da." Louis and Damia were sitting on the mat in the living room. He had been seriously repeating the words in front of Damia. Anyhow, Damia only smiles looking at Louis and shake her new rattle sound soft toys that Louis had bought before. Damia thought Louis was singing, following the rhythm with her rattle sound. After she had satisfied play with all her new toys, she throws them away and rol
The next day, Rosa wakeup with exhaustion. She had fallen asleep while her mind is still chaotic. She searches for her baby with her hand without open her eyes and turns stiff, widely awake after she feels a warm strong arms beside her. He saw a tall man without upper clothes and her baby was playing with his bea... Nope! There's no beard! Quickly Rosa picks her baby and kicks the man out of her bed."Ouch!" He falls down."Bi... Big boss???" Rosa peeks from the bed to look at the man again. She scans his broad shoulder, athletic muscle arms, and a clean face!? She could see clearly a sharp nose with a sexy thin lip that makes her blink hard that usually was covered with a big beard. This is very different from her previous big boss! It's been a long time she saw a handsome man with a good body. She can't help to admire his perfect face and body! That lips... The sexy l
