I'm Not a Cheap Woman

The Right Decision

"Damn it.." said Zionel when he met Alex outside the room.

Alex immediately moved away because he believed it was the cause of his boss's annoyance.

"Near Alex Rudiart, you must take responsibility for your actions before I am punished by my brother."

"Sir Zio. This is not what you think. I just had to tell Miss Zaline. It's like an impediment of responsibility because of lethargy."

"Bring your head off... So I can cut your paychecks because I'm afraid of being upset."

"Mom.bu..not like that. Oh come on Mr. Zio, Miss Zaline just wants to punish you by separating Miss Stevani a few ha..."

Alex was wide-eyed and stopped saying his own words, he returned a shock to Zionel.

"Damn it. I guess that's what he thinks. Alex... You should feel my madness later." Zionel said, gritting his teeth.

"Sir Zio..." Alex started to get nervous but in his heart wanted to laugh at his boss who was starting to get scared.

"What only? Come here Lex..."

Alex just getting away, he no longer wants to feel the hard kick from Zionel.

"Lex.." - Zionel.

"What are you guys doing?" nicholas asked out of the room.

Zionel stared intently at Alex, pointing his finger as if he were saying "Just WAIT FOR YOU" to Alex.

"Have they slept?" ask Zionel.

Nicholas nodded his head. "Zaline doesn't want to let go of Vani. So both fell asleep in bed, while mommy ended up falling asleep on the couch. The nurse still hasn't come to move Vani?"

Zionel shook his head. "I'll talk to the nurse to let Vani stay in this room tonight. But daddy and mommy have to rest at home, the hospital is not a good place for you let alone no decent bed in the room."

"Do you think daddy can bring your mommy home Zio. He'll keep sticking to Zaline. They had just met, letting go of the yearning for 5 more years was not that fast."

"Daddy's right, but I'm just worried about your health."

"We're very healthy, let us stay here Zio."

"Alright if that's your wish. What about the shareholders meeting tomorrow? Daddy's seen Zaline, hasn't he?"

"Why did Alex go that far? Lex... Come here.. We're talking about the company." Nicholas said.

Alex looked at Zionel, with the man forced to approach them. As Alex approached, Nicholas began to speak.

"After seeing the state of Zaline, it seems that my daughter is very strong to attend the shareholder meeting tomorrow. We can't make a stock transfer letter overnight Zio. So Zaline's request to go to the company is right, we have to come and destroy Gilbran's greed. And of course tomorrow the police will also have to be deployed to arrest him."

"But dad... Zaline just woke up one day from her coma. This is a miracle because he looks good. But I'm still worried about the situation."

"When you get home, Dr. Herman has checked on Ms. Zaline sir. Although still in healing, but the doctor allowed Miss Zaline to leave the hospital for a while, then after that she had to come back here immediately" said Alex.

"Zaline is just a little girl, she had a trauma in a kidnapping case five years ago. He must have been terrified when he met that son of a bitch Gilbran. Is there any guarantee that he'll be okay tomorrow? I don't want to lose Zaline a second time" Zionel said.

"Miss Zaline is more mature than her age, and she looks very strong just like Miss Stevani. If you forbid him to leave tomorrow, I'm sure he'll run away from here to save Cruise's company. That's what I saw when I spoke to him."

"And it makes you lose your mind until you say it all, damn it..."

"Daddy agrees with Alex, Zaline isn't just a little girl who doesn't know what Zio is. Your sister is very smart, she's grown up at a young age. The loss of Haena at the time and meeting Stevani was a blessing and a path from God to the Cruise family. Put that worry aside. Tomorrow we take Zaline to the company is not without preparation. Talk to Herman, and call Julius. We bring some expert doctors who will accompany Zaline, if anything happens to her there are expert doctors who will be ready to handle it. Convince your heart to act Zio, quickly solve the madness problem in the Cruise family. Stop the blindness of Nile and her husband's heart because of the treasure, they must be immediately aware of his actions." Nicholas said with a sad face when mentioning his sister's name.

"Dad, their punishment will be severe for their actions. I don't care about Gilbran but aunt Nile..."

"Are you shaky because of Zio's family relationship? I broke this relationship after knowing everything, even though Nile was influenced by her husband, she was still guilty. Or maybe from the beginning, Nile was the one who affected her husband. Whatever it is, daddy is ready with this decision. Zaline Haena Cruise must be given justice."

"Zaline Haena Cruise?"

Nicholas smiles. "Isn't that a pretty name when put together?"

"Oh my God thank you dad. That name would make Stevani happy. Zaline Haena Cruise is really beautiful. Well, this time I'll agree with your opinion. Zaline will be at the shareholders meeting tomorrow. Daddy go back inside, I still have business with Alex."

"Sorry Mr. Zio, I have to go home soon. It's been over my working hours." Alex replied beginning to get scared again.

"When can you set working hours with me?" ask Zionel. "Are you tired of being an assistant?" threaten her.

"Ah.. not like that sir."

"Stop Zio, Alex has worked hard to help this family. You've always been so hard on her."

"It's all because of her own dad."

"Do you think Zaline wouldn't know if Alex didn't say it? Wouldn't it be sooner that your sister finds out about your relationship with Vani."

"But at least then dad, I'm still worried about Vani's condition. While Zaline is getting ready to separate us."

"Well... You mean Zaline's gonna give you that kind of punishment?" ask Nicholas.

Zionel nodded his head.

Nicholas this time let go of his laughter. "It seems he knows very well his brother's weakness now. Smart kid, daddy's proud of him."

Zionel looked up, his father actually agreed with the torture he would experience later. Alex kept holding back his laughter. Zionel's frustration peaked, the man kicking Alex's leg right in the shin of his leg. As soon as Alex stroked his sore leg, it was better than his salary or bonus being cut by the man.

"Ah...have it been. In the sorrow of this meeting, there are you who greatly comfort my heart. I hope there will be no more sadness for our family." Nicholas said and approached Zionel.

"My son, be prepared to part temporarily with your wife." sneered Nicholas as he patted Zionel on the shoulder.

"Oh my God.. What did I owe in my previous life, why did no one support me?" zionel.

Nicholas chuckled again as he left them in the room. Alex moves away from Zionel after Nicholas leaves them.

"You..."

"Sir Zio, I'll go home, I'll be here in the morning." Alex cut.

Zionel again cursed to see Alex's behavior. "Go home, you don't have to come here tomorrow. Just go straight to the company and prepare all the files that we will bring to the meeting later including the stock file of Zaline ownership. Keep doing everything normally, Lex, let's surprise the jerk."

"Alright sir." replied Alex, bowing his body.

Alex leaves Zionel before the man returns to his wrath.
