Between LOVE or MONEY

Barkeeper

Like the other day, Lexi came home very late tonight. It's almost midnight. Lia leaned against the doorstop resisting the drowsiness, and her hands folded on her chest. As Lexi approached the smell of alcohol lurched, making Lia nauseous. The girl's gaze was full of anger.

"Hallo pretty!" Tempting Lexi as usual, she grabbed Lia's chin and gawked in. Lia twisted her body looking at Lexi's fielded back.

"Lexi, aren't you tired!" Gusar Lia was upset.

"What!" Lexi shrugged her shoulders hearing her cousin's discordant tone.

"Come on Lexi, get a job and have fun!" Lia's voice turned soft as if pleading.

"Sorry baby. The house is too narrow and stinky. Mama is too frail and tired. Papa won't come home. Then how do I want to be happy?" 

Lia shook her head

"You should enjoy my youth Lia! Enough to make money and have fun! You're not a robot!" Lexi's words are ketus but there's a point.

"You work at the minimarket, you go looking all the way here and there" Lexi started babbling with the breath of alcohol.

"You think going to college will fix our fate!" Lexi's gaze turned soft. Lia took a seat next to Lexi, on their butute couch.

"Lex, at least have fun with the good road." Lia patted Lexi on the thigh, her musty jeans as if throwing off street dust.

"Eh, I got a lot of money today! Would you like to buy some cosmetics?" Lexi looked at her cousin's face. "You need a makeup pulse" Lexi's eyes seem to persuade "at least buy a pretty famous face wash!" Lia breathed a heavy sigh.

"Where do you get money?" Lexi simply replied with a face full of mystery.

"Then buy the medicine for auntie, and take her control to the hospital!" Lia got up from the sofa, she grabbed the book and left Lexi. The man shrugged his shoulders.

"Well, dear Lia!" He said according to then spread his back. His hands were touching the table, hoping for some of his remaining drinking water last night. But what is this?

Lexi caught a name tag, and frowned when her writing was clearly legible.

"Lia!" Lexi followed Lia's steps into her room.

"What?" Pouty Lia. "Your voice can make neighbors angry" Lia whispered.

"What's this?" Lexi raised Lia's name tag, the girl immediately grabbed quickly.

"Almost, I forgot!" Lia kept her name tag. Lexi pushed Lia's shoulder slowly.

"What does that mean?" Lexi's eyes are looking for answers.he steps uncaringly

"Why?- haven't you always forced me into that pub!" Lexi was confused to have to nod or shake her head, the problem was not for this time

"What does that name tag mean?" Lexi wants a clear answer.

"You should be happy dong! Why is your face so!"

"Explain it!" Cut Lexi impatiently

"I work there!"

"WHAT!!" Lia sighed again

"I told you to lower your voice!"

"What do you mean you work there!" Lexi pushed back Lia's shoulder.

"You're why!" Lia became annoyed.

"You're anti-the pub, how could you work there!" Lia shrugged her shoulders

"I need Lexi's money! And they need extra servants!" 

"You-" Lexi's out of words.

"It's night, I have to memorize and sleep. You too!" Lexi massaged her uneasy neck. He tried to think by betting on the effects of alcohol

Lia closed the door to her room. Lexi returned to the sofa with a confused face.

"The man who gave me the money will definitely protest to see Lia in the pub!" Lexi didn't think "it would be bad if she asked for her money back!" Lexi bit the tip of her thumb nail and began to lie down with a burdened look.

"Even I've spent half the money!" Lexi changed positions but her mind remained the same.

"Let's think of something Lexi!!"

Mr. Edwardo leads in the front position

Max grabs her chair and joins in, Mariah widens a smile at the bright face of her niece.

"Hay Maxi, something happened to you!" Temptation Mariah 

"What!" Max raises eyebrows

"What's that smile you're hiding, are you in love?" Mariah's temptation made max shake his head, he smiled slightly.

"Ehm!" Edward beats to Mariah and Max, both of them immediately sit quietly and start enjoying a meal.

"Mariah, what about your business?" Edward asked with a heavy voice. Mariah simply replied with a small smile.

"Not so good sister-in-law. I think the world economy is bad!" Mariah raised her hand in disbelief with the bad development of the effort she was going through.

"Tell me if you need help or what you need!" Edward brushed his lips at the corner of his thumb, his gaze doting on the body of his brother-in-law who was wearing a tanktop crop top and shorts with a rough incision in the thigh.

"Thank you brother, I will definitely say if I need help. But this time I need your help!" Mary looked at max expectantly. His voice shrugged his shoulders inexplicably.

"What!" Max doesn't understand the meaning of Mariah's gaze.

"Can we talk shortly after breakfast!" Max nodded. Mariah waited for Max to finish his meal. Edward never once turned away from Mariah's face, his heart continued to whisper and persuade but Edward could only endure all the turmoil in his chest.

Three of the family servants glanced at Edward's face, and were irritated. But they kept it.

Max finally finished too, he and Mariah went to another room leaving Edward, Edward's sharp eyes kept following Mariah's back movements, he gulped continuously, greatly enjoying his morning stage.

His eyes turned to the three young servants who had been watching him.

"You, get to my study!" Edward pointed to one of them. His smile expanded leaving the other two still scowling. Edward stepped out of the dining table. He's getting ready to work, yeah work!

In the Edwardo family room

Mariah put her lips close to max's ear, on tiptoes.

"Maxi, this weekend you should accompany your aunt to Merci's pub!" Max takes the head off.

"Why? Aunty can go with Daniel right!"

"Shhhh!!" Sergah mariah with an annoyed face "reduce your voice!"

"You know my brother's coming home this weekend! She'll probably let me go on a date with Daniel!"max shrugged his shoulders.

"You have to break up with that guy!"

"Just kid!" Mariah Protest.

"You have to help me!" 

"How?" As expected, Max is indeed the best pound in the world. This man has a warm heart and loves to help anyone.

"Tell your mother you need me for your course!" Max put on a cynical smile.

"You don't want to!" Mariah Protest. Max widens smile

"All right!" He had to a little. Mariah steps cheerfully to leave Max preparing for college in his noble suit. Gucci man's!

Max shook his head slowly. Her aunt was the same, how old was she! They are like peers.

"Wait, Merci pub?" Max remembered something, he knitted an eyebrow.

"Ah, he won't come!" Max muttered with a disappointed face.

"At least I will accompany aunt and enjoy a long night there!"
