Almera's Gigolo

24.Where's Alex

the clock had shown me at 7:00 pm, when I woke up to the bed beside me, it was cold what time Alex came out of my room, I thought.

immediately I took the phone on the nightstand next to the bed to see who knew there was a message from him."empty"There was only a message from Anggela and Mike that I had not opened from yesterday afternoon.

Tumben Alex didn't send a message, my inner.

Is he busy filming now.

I dialed the hotel manager's phone number to see what the schedule was for the crew filming the commercial.

After I found out, I was planning to visit the shoot.

Just as I was about to get out of bed, my phone rang, I immediately shifted the green button to receive the call enthusiastically because I thought Alex was calling.

"hello Lex"

"Almer it's me, Mike"

"Mike.

"yes,"

"oh sorry...Mike!"

"yes, no problem.."

"there's a problem with whether you're calling me this early" I'd like to quickly end the call.

"i'm going to Bali this morning"

what, make him come here, I don't want to meet him, especially here there is Alex, how is this, my mind is a bit panicked.

"Brand, you're still there"

"yes, Mike" I replied trying to sound ordinary.

"let's meet this afternoon for lunch together.

"well.I don't know,"

"all right, if you're busy by noon, we'll see you tonight, okay"

"eh.., Mike I have to go see you soon "my word hastened to turn off the call with Mike.

I walked back and forth in the room confused as to how to politely decline Mike's invitation.

I'm calling my secretary here to find out what my schedule is today,

"hello willa, what's my schedule for today"

"not much mom, just go to the filming location to keep an eye on".

"well then"

oh shitt, why doesn't nature seem to be on my side.

I tried to call Alex but his phone was still out of range, where he was.

Was he so busy that he didn't return my message.

I'd better see the filming location, I thought.

Then get ready to leave immediately.

until the location I was greeted directly by the director.

"good morning, Ma'am Almera"he said kindly.

"morning, how was the shoot "just talk to her.

"it's still going well, maybe if there are no obstacles this weekend will be finished, you want to see the shooting directly.

"yes" I replied as I walked towards the chair next to the director.

"this is the script, ma'am" a crew member gave the filming script for today.

I read a glimpse of the script given by the crew earlier, there is a scene swimming together on the beach later.

my chest rushes to read it, what kind of scenes Alex and the female artist will be presenting later.

"Where are they why it hasn't started, I asked the director.

"we waited for the right timing, now they're getting ready in the room, the director pointed at me."you want to see them ma'am before you start"

"yes, I'll meet them now"

"please go over here, he walked into a building that felt near the beach.

in the break room and dressing room looks only a few people there.

"please ma'am" the director told me to sit in the chair there.

"don't let me just briefly meet them, please call now" I replied.

"well, ma'am" then the director told the artist's assistant to have the female artist meet me.

"this is the female artist,"

"oh yes, it is fun to work with you Miss Clara" I replied as I reached out to shake the hand of the beautiful woman with the rather petite stature, according to the posture of the Indonesian.

"yes, it's good to work for a big company like yours, Ms. Almera" she replied, taking a handshake from me with a sweet smile.

so this opposite play Alex thought I, then where Alex why not now visible, I thought while trying to circulate the eyes of the room which was only a few meters in size.

"so where's the male Artist for this ad" I asked.

"oh, today Alex's schedule is empty, so she didn't come to the set" Clara answered my question.

I looked at him at a glance, so intimate was their relationship that even he knew, it should be Alex's assistant's job, I thought upset.

I just don't know where he is now, my inner self.

"ekhm, so he's off now, I ask Clara in a sharp tone.

"yes, Alex told me this morning that today there was something to do so the scene asked only a little for the director to rewind it for tomorrow".

"well.., for sure I want him to be professional, must be able to separate personal affairs with work".

"i, or Alex couldn't have asked permission if it wasn't a very important matter, ma'am"

"it looks like you guys are very close" I asked in a slightly taut tone to the woman.

"we're in the same agency and Alex is my very prominent junior, ma'am"

"okay, no problem" I said by stepping away from there.

I stepped out of the building bitterly and disappointed.

Damn where my inner Alex, from this morning did not reply to my message, while trying to call his phone again, but still out of reach.

Disappointed I chose to go back to the hotel, but I just wanted to ask the driver to pick me up, I saw Mike standing in front of the car waving at me.

oh, why the hell do I have to meet him now when I really want to avoid him.

"Almera.."call him to wave at me.

I had to walk towards him.

"hi," my clothes when I was next to him.

"how are you done"

"yes, I just have to go back to the hotel to check on a few things"

"let me take it" he said, opening the car door for me.

"i've asked the driver to pick me up" he still tried to refuse his intention to drive me.

"come on, you must not reject this sincere intention of mine"let me enter.

"alright Mike, I finally gave up on getting into his car so as not to be noticed by the people there.

"before I go back to the hotel to accompany me to lunch first how?"he asked while driving his car towards the highway.

"yes, it doesn't matter if I haven't eaten yet" I replied in defeat.

Mike brought me to the famous seafood restaurant in Bali.

"do you mind if we eat here?"tanyanya while parking her car in the restaurant parking area.

"no, I can eat anything important delicious" I replied, walking out of Mike's car.

"this is one of the most delicious restaurants in the city of Bali you should try it when visiting here"

"well.seems like you know Bali too" I said as I sat in the restaurant seat near the large window facing the beach.

"yes, I never said I spent more time in Indonesia than in my home country, England"

"oh yes.how long have you lived in Indonesia.

"From the age of 15 years, I joined my uncle living in Indonesia since my parents died, because of a disaster".
