I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Alex's Story

Alex talks to Zaline about the condition of the company if tomorrow's shareholder meeting is won by Gilbran after Zionel leaves them.

"I don't want grandpa's company to fall into the hands of a guy like that, Alex. I have to save daddy and bang Zio." said Zaline.

"Miss Zaline, why are your thoughts more mature than your age?"

"The experience of living with brother Vani teaches everything. I really grew up with him. Vani is an incredible personal reflection of me."

"It's lucky you met him. When I met her, I could see her strong principles of life. She really is an amazing woman."

"Don't expect to like Vani. Bang Zio won't let go." Zaline said with a laugh.

Alex laughed too. "Where could I possibly compete with your brother. But did your brother tell you how he treated Miss Vani the first time he met her?"

Zaline shook her head. "So what's it like?"

"Chuckles indifferently, but he keeps bothering the woman. It was the first time I saw your brother do that to a woman, before if he was approached by a woman he would reject her firmly. Since then I've been betting with myself if he likes it."

"Betting with yourself, how is the story? You're a weird Alex sir." Zaline taunted.

"Seriously, I'm betting that if your brother doesn't like Miss Stevani then I'll change my name to Alexa."

Instantly Zaline let go of her laughter hearing Alex's words. He imagined what if Alex really became Alexa.

"God is ridiculous" said Zaline.

"I'll bet because I'm sure of the answer. So I won't lose."

"You haven't changed Mr. Alex at all, you've always been confident in your actions."

"Of course." replied Alex proudly.

"Tell me how bang Zio and my family found out I disappeared?" ask Zaline.

"It's so fucked..."

Alex started telling Zaline everything. How Zionel and his parents died searching for his whereabouts. But when Alex says Zionel out of Cruise's mansion makes the little girl very surprised. Instantly Zaline could not hold back her tears when she heard the suffering that her brother had suffered when he lost her. Even the nightmare that Zionel had was really tormenting the man.

"I'm guilty of everything" Zaline said sobbing.

"Oh my God, don't cry. I could be fired by your brother for making you cry." Alex asked.

"Then what is the condition of the brother after meeting Vani?"

"I never heard him have a nightmare again, and I saw him so happy that he kept trying to find you. Their path of love is also not easy, many misunderstandings occur. Miss Zaline, there's one incident that almost made your brother lose his life."

"Huh...what does Alex mean?"

"After the president's mom set up some blind dates for Zio sir. Madam President wants Miss Varisa to be Zio's wife. But Mr. Zio is already in love with Ms. Stevani and the matchmaking is of course rejected. The action turned out to make the woman not accept, after knowing Mr. Zio with Miss Stevani, he actually collaborated with Miss Cecil to kill Miss Stevani. But the knife stabbed Zio in the stomach."

"Sister Cecil? I mean, sir, my cousin Alex is the daughter of aunt Nile?"

Alex nodded his head.

"Oh my God, the fruit fell not far from the tree. They are all bad people who always justify all kinds of ways to get things. Thank God that you've been protecting Vani's brother and Zio's bang" Zaline said.

"You're right, they're out of bounds. But God loves your family. Mr. Zio and Ms. Stevani can get through this one by one. If the knife really stabbed Miss Stevani, then they managed to kill two people at once."

Alex nodded. "Miss Stevani was pregnant with Zio's son."

"Huh? I don't really know about pregnancy. But didn't they just get married, how.... actually what happened to them when I was unconscious, Alex?"

Alex swallows his saliva, he accidentally reveals the matter to Zaline. Looking at the surprised face of the little girl, it meant that Zionel had not told her everything.

"Sorry Miss Zaline, I can't say it. You can ask Zio and Miss Stevani directly."

"Why do you keep avoiding my question. Did their meeting have anything to do with me? Did I make a mistake with Vani? Tell Alex sir, what really happened? I'm really curious."

"Sorry Miss Zaline."

"I'm the biggest shareholder in Cruise's company, so I won't let Alex's sir get fired by Zio bang. Tell me what happened to them?"

Alex let out a long sigh, he nodded and started telling Zaline everything. The little girl again could not hold back her tears when she heard the plight of Stevani who was trying to find money for her heart surgery.

Zaline gnashed her teeth in anger when she found out Stevani had been desecrated by Zionel.

"Abang Zio. I will punish him." said Zaline growled.

"Don't turn on Mr. Zio, but you should have taken the wisdom of this incident. Mr. Zio did not lose responsibility at all, after the incident that night, he continued to try to bind Miss Stevani. Although the reason still doesn't make sense, but actually I know that Mr. Zio is already in love with Ms. Stevani."

"Bang Zio is very stubborn. Sister Vani must have suffered a lot when she knew that the sanctity she had been guarding had been desecrated by a man she did not know. Even if they love each other now, but I will still give the punishment to bang Zio. He can't control himself until he does something like that."

Alex chuckled, he was really surprised by Zaline's thought. At a young age, his speech and actions seemed to be very mature.

"What's so funny?" zaline asked Alex to stop her laughter.

"Miss Zaline, you're really older than your age. It looks like Mr. Zio can't be saved anymore" Alex replied.

"Let's know the taste, one's own dares to hurt Brother Vani."

"Sir Zio did that because he liked Miss Stevani."

"It's excessive. He should be punished."

"Well, I agree with your opinion. But what punishment would you give Mr Zio?"

Zaline smiled at his smile. "Punishment will make him crazy. Can Alex not guess what I want to do?"

Alex blinked his eyes many times and looked at Zaline. "Don't tell me you want to separate Miss Stevani from Mr. Zio."

"You're really smart, I'll separate them a few days. That's the harshest punishment for bang Zio."

Alex let go of his laughter and Zaline laughed.

"Oh my God, what a brilliant idea sweet lady. I can't wait to see the look on his face." Alex said in his laughter.

"It looks like you have a pent-up grudge Mr. Alex" Zaline said.

Alex laughed again at Zaline's words. Not a grudge for Alex, but more on entertainment for him when he saw Zionel's face upset. Although he will be the main target of the man's anger, but at least he can see Zionel like a beard fire in a few days. Alex was really looking forward to Zaline's punishment for her brother.
