Choosing Love !?!?

His outpouring...

Aaaaahhhjj how is this, I really don't want to go to work today. What if I'd seen them friendly. Even though it was fun yesterday with Ratna and Stefi, it doesn't seem to be that helpful right now. Alex grumbled in his heart.

I hope they're there this morning, so I don't have to see them later this afternoon. Alex rolls around in her bed to relieve feelings of panic and annoyance.

Today her boss Madeline is returning to work after returning from overseas business duties. It's not Madeline's real problem, but Chris is the big boss. Alex doesn't want to meet him, his heart still hurts and he doesn't know how to behave.

With a shunt move that afternoon Alex went to work, hoping that he would not meet Madeline or Chris. Unfortunately the hope was in vain because Madeline was also working the afternoon hours. What's more annoying is that his face looks as happy as someone who is in love. As a result, many staff teased him, especially the seniors who did know his relationship with Chris before.

Madeline told all the afternoon work staff to gather at her office because there was an announcement to be made. Again Alex hoped that he was busy serving guests not to have to come, but unfortunately the morning staff working hours were not finished, so those who served guests during the afternoon staff listened to the announcement.

"Thank you for gathering here. Let me tell you, there is happy news for all of us. Because Chris is so satisfied with our work next week we will hold a celebration for our success as a team. The restaurant will close next Monday and we will have fun on the beach, of course there will be fun food and games, " said Madeline greeted by happy cheers all staff, who will be happy, except for Alex who just clapped and put on a fake smile.

"Well that's all I say, hopefully this can motivate you all to achieve more and more results. You can go back to work."

That day all the staff only replied to 2 things, staff party and the possibility of returning Madeline and Chris Madeline became lovers. None of the two topics Alex liked, the severity of him today is a team with Naila who does not stop tweeting about these two things.

"Jane told me dong, how their courtship style used to be, must be romantic yes, they eat and chat here almost every day already make baper" asked Naila to Jane. Their section table had just been left by the guests so now they could chat while cleaning their section tables. Alex wanted to avoid the chatter, but they were a team, so inevitably he had to be there cleaning the table as well.

"How is it, they don't show it too much at work, but you can see that Madeline is more aggressive and she always looks more friendly than Mr. Chris when in public. But my colleague said, he said Madeline Bu had told him that Mr. Chris was very romantic if you were alone, especially if it was a bed, "clear Jane.

Naila shrieked stifled at Jane's reply as if her head was imagining something.

"Make sure Madeline is more aggressive in public, let everyone know that the man of all women's dreams belongs to her, " said Naila amused still imagining the non-existent. "Lex you today why the hell is it like there is no desire for work."

"Hasrat for the work there anyway, but again males aja same thing, "saw it flat while continuing to rub the table.

"Lex this table seems to be thin you rub with that spirit, "said Jane who saw Alex wiping the table with excitement.

How else, he was annoyed once, wherever he went was always the topic of old couples who reunited. "Lex you can accompany me to S Beach now, I have to check first before ordering it for next Monday's event." said Madeline.

Alex just dumbly stared blankly, still holding the lap he was wearing rubbing the table.

Oh God what more trials have you put down on this servant of yours. Not so much as this ordeal in rapel a day. Maybe he will meet Chris there and continue to be a mosquito repellent. This is his name destiny - he fights.

"Lex, change clothes first, I wait in the security post. Don't be long, "Madeline's orders then passed leaving Alex who was still lamenting his fate.

Lazy but fast (how do you mean) Alex changed his uniform. It has become a parade in Paradiso if the staff should not go out of the area wearing uniforms.

It only takes fifteen minutes to get to the beach in question, but the atmosphere on the way feels clunky. After the beach business was over Madeline did not immediately bring Alex back to the restaurant, but they stopped by a Cafe.

"Not too busy at the restaurant, stop by, said Madeline.

"Yes Ma'am, "said Alex briefly.

The barista serving their order conversed with Madeline as she ordered drinks at the counter.

"Surely there are still people who remember me, but it has been over a year. I used to come here with Chris." Madeline explained without Alex asking.

Alex didn't know how to respond to his superior's remarks, so he simply smiled knotfully.

"How did you get so much out of it, don't you like it I brought you here?"

"It's not so Mom, I'm just a little awkward, don't know how to talk."

"You're based on this, but I like it anyway, so I invite you, rather than Naila, I can be interrogated all out." Madeline's mom laughed. "I'm asking you because I want to confide in you a little."

"Curhat Ma?. But I did not give advice or input ma'am, mending another, "sawut Alex nervous, somehow he felt reluctant to build a relationship more than the boss with subordinates.

"You're quite horrified, don't know why it's like talking to you more regularly than other children, they're too rame in my opinion, " said Madeline Bu coupled with a friendly laugh.

"Lex, what do you think it means if your ex doesn't change the apartment key which you still hold the duplicate key?" ask Madeline Ma'am.

Somehow Alex's stomach feels churned as if there are big waves unpretentious sahutan alternately. It is not called who is told, but Alex immediately remembered Chris. His heart again felt sore, but fortunately this time his eyes could be compromised, or maybe because the stock of tears had run out because the last week he continued to cry.

" Well, ma'am, because I have never dated, maybe the former mother still opens her heart to Mom, " replied Alex just like that.

"I think so, too, because yesterday every business was done we went to visit the places we used to visit often, and he still remembers my favorite place."Madeline smiled happily while Alex tried hard to smile. Now it's clear that the ex Chris meant.

Along the way back to the restaurant Madeline Bu tells about their pleasant business trip as if they were celebrating their anniversary by visiting every place they used to visit while dating. Alex mostly answered with a nod of agreement or a small laugh as if he was happy for them.

************

A week ago in the United States.

At four o'clock in the morning the private jet on board Chris and Madeline landed at the airpot was greeted by a man the same age as Chris who wore a neat suit.

"You should just send your driver to pick us up John, " Chris told the man.

"It's okay sir, we can discuss a little work during your trip to the hotel, "said John .

"Can't we just take a break, isn't the meeting the day after tomorrow" Madeline suggested. He was a little upset that they were supposed to leave tomorrow morning, but at midnight yesterday Chris called him and told him to get ready. Even though today he has an appointment with his subscription salon for treatment from hair to toe, so that Chris is fascinated to see it.

"The sooner we discuss it the better and we can think of some options as a backup plan." Chris confirmed John's words.

Madeline doesn't know what's going on, it's Chris who insists on leaving the day after, the day the meeting takes place, and suddenly she advances the schedule as she pleases. Moreover, he looked riled up and thought of something. It's impossible this time's business to make it that way. No matter what the business, he always knew how to handle it, and before this he had faced many bigger and harder problems. Madeline really wants to know what's going on, who knows this could be a way to get Chris back on her.

"So the Bois de Teck lumber company, trying to incite the locals to boycott our restaurant?" ask Chris to John.

"Truly, they use the problem of global warming which is currently the center of attention in this country."

"But the land is not a protected green land, it's private property, how dare they make trouble with me" said Chris furious.

Actually he was thinking more about the problems he made on Alex than the problems of work, many times he saw his phone hoping there was a message from Alex.

" Have you investigated everything I told you? " ask Chris to John.

" All I've put on the table of your hotel room, sir, " replied John along with their arrival in a 5-star hotel whose building is luxurious like an ancient kingdom, but with modern facilities.

" Give me the keys to my room, you drive Madeline to her room, "chris told John." Take a break and meet me in the room in an hour, "he told Madeline.

Madeline smiled happily at Chris's words that sounded like a date. Once in the room he immediately soaked with warm water that was tested by the aroma of therapy. He chose clothes that made his curves clearly visible. After she finished dressing up she immediately headed for Chris' room which was two floors above her room. VIP rooms that are actually more appropriate are called super luxury apartments. He had already put on a teasing smile when he heard the sound of the door opening and how surprised he was when he saw the figure behind the door.

It turns out he's still trying to get close to Mr. Chris. Persistent also him, even though it has been over a year since their relationship ended. He should have realized his efforts were in vain. If it wasn't for the way you work pretty much, of course you wouldn't have a chance to be around him in the least. John said in his heart.

Madeline who looked upset but also embarrassed to enter and immediately met Chris who was sitting in the workspace.

Chris immediately tells Madeline to sit down and calls John to join them.

"This is the list of people you should meet, they are the loudest to voice protests at the restaurant I'm going to build. Your job is to find out their true purpose, why they're siding with my enemy, "say Chris while handing over a paper containing the intended list.

Although not like, inevitably Madeline must do the task given. This is not the first time she has been assigned this task, thanks to her hobby of playing plays in the theater during college, she can easily get close and get information with even strangers.

After the two left the room Chris threw himself on the bed. He looked back at his phone.

The message from Alex is still missing. Maybe he should call first?. But what to say. He had never been in this position before. He can get any woman he wants even though he just met that woman last night. What if Alex is so angry and hates himself and doesn't want to see him again. His fear made him more angry.

************

Tomorrow is the day of his meeting with the owner of the wood company Bois de Teck. Madeline and John had already completed their task on time. Madeline even managed to become friends with some of the people on the investigation list. His ability to take people's hearts should not be doubted.

John leaves Chris' room first because there is some preparation he has to make for tomorrow.

"Chris how about we go for a walk and have dinner outside, it's been a long time since I've had a vacation, after all the preparations are done and tomorrow the enemy will definitely surrender, " chris said in a soft tone.

"Alright, since you've done a good job, let's get out." Chris granted Madeline's request. It's nothing, as long as the two subordinates are waiting for Chris to do his job, just shut himself up in the hotel room and his mind is filled only by Alex and Alex. So maybe if he had a little activity he could remove Alex's shadow from his head.

Initially they walked in the city park, which was a tourist spot. There are various street performers. Garden benches are mostly occupied by couples who are cool chatting while enjoying the fountain that is winding dancing to the strains of love songs. The night with dim lights adds to the romance of the place. Then they went to dinner on a boat sailing over the lake. Again a place filled by couples who are dating. Last they went to a bar that has a live music show and can be guessed if there was also filled by a couple who were in love drunk. Not how, but everything has been arranged by Madeline, she wants to remember their courtship times by visiting the places they used to visit while dating. He hopes Chris will remember the good times and go back to dating him.

"Chris you remember this song, let's dance with me, "pinta Madeline when the song she ordered is sung.

"You're alone." Chris refused.

"Oh, how do I dance to myself, look at the other couple."

"We are not a couple. Let's just go home." Chris left without waiting for an answer from Madeline.

Once at the hotel Madeline invites Chris to have a drink together, but Chris refuses.

********

The next morning Chris and John head to building M, which is an office and meeting place with company owner Bois de Teck who while Madeline remains at the hotel because her assignment has been completed.

"It's nice to meet you Chris, " said the middle-aged man reaching out to shake hands.

"I'm not here for Edward's pleasantries" said Chris, who did not welcome Edward's hand, and chose to sit on the couch.

" Do you know why I invited you here?. I'd like to offer you a cooperation. I know you're having a hard time building your restaurant, so... "

" Take it easy, do you really think I'm just quiet when you're harassing my business. Let's see what's on this disc, " said Chris. John, who had been standing near the door, handed over the disc that his master meant.

Edward picked it up and handed it to his personal assistant who then put it into the laptop on the table. There was a conversation that revealed the actions of Edward who paid the residents to refuse the construction of the restaurant. And there is also evidence of Chris' agreement with the chairman of the Activists to care for the environment, that Chris will let and care for the mangroves that surround the restaurant area.

"That's not how much, if you're still doing something I'm going to show the whole population here your plans for cooperation with the state apparatus that can destroy the environment, "sure Chris relaxed but scary.

Edward's face turned frantic and tense. He knew his actions were wrong. He shouldn't have challenged Chris even if he wasn't a resident of the country. He who originally thought he would win just because his opponent was a stranger now instead lost heavily even before fighting.

"I've really underestimated you Sir. I hope you can forgive me. I'll do whatever you tell me to do in response to the absurdity of my actions" Edward's style of speech changed completely. This time he played it safe for fear that his company would go bankrupt if Chris decided to teach him a lesson. This company he pioneered from the beginning until as advanced as now, he did not want to go back to the difficult times first. "It seems like greed has closed my eyes so I want more and more. Please forgive me again, sir."

Chris looked at the interlocutor and said, "I have nothing to do with you after this. But if you do me one more time, I'll make you suffer until your next life." Chris stood up and left the room.

That night as Chris daydreams in his hotel room a knock is heard.

" What's the need Maddy? " ask Chris. If it's not on the job, that's how Chris calls Madeline.

The person asked came in and said, "John just gave me a plane ticket home for tomorrow, why don't you come home?" ask Madeline. She sat on the sofa crossing times so her smooth thighs were clearly visible especially with her short dress.

"There's still something I have to do" said Chris briefly as he picked up a bottle of wine and two glasses of wine and sat down next to Madeline.

"Then may I stay with you here until your business is done, who knows you need my help, "pinta Madeline while reaching for the glass of wine that Chris handed over.

"Your job here is done, and again I let you take a short leave until the end of the week, so use it as well as you can. " Chris refused Madeline's request.

Madeline stood up with a sulking look, put her glass on the table and bowed her body in front of Chris. Her cleavage is clearly visible because her loose-fitting dress follows a style of gravity as she bends her upper body.

"Are you trying to seduce me?. That's not gonna work."

"Why nothing because there's another woman now. You never turned me down, even after we broke up, not once did you turn me down. Even though you're dating another woman, you never turned me down."

"Because this time is different, so stop."Chris confirmed.

Madeline throws herself sitting with her knees on the sofa fixed facing Chris who is checking her phone this time.

" You kept checking your phone and then got that gloomy face. Does he not care about you?"Madeline quickly grabs Chris's phone and sits on Chris' lap trying to get closer to him kissing Chris.

Chris moved quickly to hold Madeline's face with his hand as big as Madeline's.

" I said stop."

With a sullen look Madeline inched down from Chris' lap. What the hell was Alex doing until you were crazy about it?. Ask Madeline inwardly. Since the first time they saw the two of them coming out of the exhibition and walking to a restaurant, the feeling was already bad, but he remains less sure and assumes Chris only wants Alex to have fun and nothing more. But now he made sure he immediately turned out his fear at the beginning was right.

"Well, I won't bother you anymore, but one night of farewell won't change anything, she won't know. I'll keep it a secret, " said Madeline still not giving up, her index finger gently down Chris' forehead down to her nose, lips, neck, chest and..... Chris caught his hand.

" Go to your room now, I don't have to grant you anything you call last night. I'm your boss so you have to obey, if you don't want to get into trouble, "threatened Chris. After all, he is a man. She herself was not sure if she would still be able to resist if Madeline seduced him again. Can not be denied if she looks sexy with her pendang gown is loose and small laced. Moreover, the current one rope sagging down from his shoulder added to it looking more seductive. He really tried hard to control his consciousness.

"You really have changed. What he gave you until you became such a pugnacious. Did he really serve you that well?." This time Madeline whispered in Chris' ear and purposely made her lips and ears touch Chris she knew very well if Chris' ears were very sensitive.

Chris turned his head to look at Madeline with a sharp but glaring look that made her look very dashing and weak at the same time. Madeline smiled faintly looking at the expression on the face of the man in front of her. He succeeded that's how he thought.
