I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Zionel and Stevani

Alex was indeed a subordinate that Zionel could rely on. He and Andreaz were able to handle the company well after Zionel handed it over to them. Alex has even laid off some of the Gilbran-related staff at Zionel's request.

Some shareholders who had sold their shares to Gilbran had to bite their fingers because they were finally issued disrespectfully by Alex. Everything connected with Gilbran and his followers has been purged without remaining. Now it's just waiting for the arrival of Zionel for new planning in the company after he took over shares owned by Nile Cruise.

"Thank you Alex, you are indeed Zio's best assistant. Without you, I might not be able to handle any of this" Andreaz said.

"Sir Andre is too much, you also help solve this problem. But it looks like Mr. Zio is not coming back at the moment. For a while I'll handle everything. Mr. Andre can come back with your work sir."

"It looks like Cruise's extended family will be gathering at the hospital right now, however Haena has just been found, of course we want to know more about him who has disappeared for more than 5 years. So, I'm leaving the company too Alex sir. I'm leaving this company to you."

Alex nodded his head. "I'll do my best to help the Cruise family."

"Then, I'll leave now. Thank you Alex."

"You don't have to worry, sir, this has become my job. You be careful on the road."

Andreaz smiled as he nodded his head, he patted Alex on the shoulder and left the company. Alex took a deep breath and threw his body into his chair.

"Hopefully Mr. Zio can get through all these problems. What he will face is not others but his own family. But given his hard and arrogant attitude, it seems like this time there will be no apology for Gilbran or Nile Cruise. Miss Zaline's return will end all her suffering. He was really lucky to get a wife like Stevani as well as find his sister who had long disappeared. It seems like God is fair, good people like Mr. Zio always get the best in his life. Huh... Then when is my turn?" alex thought with a smile of his own.

The voice of the office phone surprised him, he cursed while picking up the phone.

"Hello..."

"You picked up the phone sounds really pissed off Lex."

Alex laughed at Zionel's words.

"I can't go back to the company because something happened to my wife Lex. How is it at the company right now?"

"You take it easy Mr. Zio, everything has been handled well. As your request, all the annoying flies have been expelled clean. What happened to Miss Stevani?"

"I haven't been to the hospital. So I don't know what's going on yet. But it seemed that he was too worried about Zaline that his thoughts affected her content. If you leave that fly behind, then I'll punish you Lex."

"Oh my God, sir... Shouldn't you be saying thank you to me right now. Why is it that comes out is a threat?"

Zionel let go of his laughter. "I'm just kidding, thanks Lex for your hard work with the company."

Instantly Alex shuddered. "It's better you threaten me than to thank Zio. For whatever I really get goosebumps hearing it."

"Damn it. At a time like this, you're still mocking me."

Alex laughed again. "Sir Zio, you are a boss who is like a friend to me. Your problem, of course, will be my problem. Regarding the company, it has also become my duty as an assistant. So you don't need to worry anymore, at this time I have handled the company well with Mr. Andre. It's only you who will decide the issue of shares owned by Nile Cruise."

"If you do consider me a friend, stop calling me sir, stop talking to me as you do when we talk to Lex alone. You have always refused my wish."

"And I will still reject Mr. Zio, I am until now more comfortable behaving like this to you."

"You're a bitch to Lex. About the shares owned by Nile Cruise, I will talk to the President and the Cruise family. Although they'll end up in jail, but they still have Cecil. Although I hate to admit it, but Cecil is still a Cruise family that must be maintained. When the job's done, you meet me at Lex's hospital. I've been through this conversation, 'cause I've been to the hospital."

"Good sir Zio."

"Again, thank you for your hard work Lex" Zionel said, hanging up the phone.

Alex shuddered again as he looked at his office phone, but the man finally smiled. Zionel's arrogant attitude slowly disappears after the man finds his love. Alex immediately finishes his remaining work before leaving for the hospital to see Zionel again.

Zionel got out of his car quickly. Without speaking to his father and uncle, the man ran straight into the hospital. Nicholas and Ramirez just looked at him while shaking their heads.

"Your son really fell in love with Nicho. Look at the worry." Ramirez said.

Nicholas grinning. "Sister Ram was right, his harsh attitude could melt in front of Stevani. My son loved her very much, especially after finding out his wife was pregnant, he turned into a different man."

"Of course, I really love Falera. Come on, brother, you love Ami very much too."

The two laughed together.

"Then where are we headed?" ask Ramirez.

"Of course, seeing Zaline, I don't want to watch Zio worry about his wife" Nicholas replied with an amused chuckle.

Ramirez chuckled again. "You're right, maybe my wife and children will also be here soon."

"All right, come on, brother..."

The two immediately set their feet toward Zaline's treatment room.

*****

Zionel barged into Stevani's room without caring for Roxy, who was guarding his wife in front of the room.

"Darling... You're okay, right?" zionel asked Stevani to be surprised by his arrival.

"My God my husband, did you run here?" ask Stevani.

Zionel regulated his hunting breath while holding Stevani's stomach. "What's going on?"

Instead of answering, Stevani laughed at her husband's concerns.

"Zionel Cruise, you're really overreacting. I'm just a regular cramp, and it's getting better now. What are you thinking, baby?"

"You sure it's okay?"

Stevani nodded her head. Zionel hugged his wife.

"You're driving me crazy Vani. I really lost control of you. I'm scared, I'm worried. I love you so much." Zionel said.

Stevani returned her husband's embrace. "I love you too Zio, I'm happy to have a husband like you. You made me the happiest woman in the world."

Zionel closed his eyes while feeling that warm embrace. "I can't live without you now, stay with me, by my side forever. Passing through the sorrows in this life Vani, continued to hold my hand tightly without letting go for a second as we walked along. Will you do it with me?"

Stevani nodded her head. "Like my promise before God when I marry you, I will never let you go until the end of my life."

"Oh my God, stop making out in the hospital. You're like you haven't seen each other in years." boasted Roxy as she walked into the room.

Zionel and Stevani let go of their embrace, both laughing at Roxy's taunts.

"I will continue to do so even if I haven't met your sister-in-law in a second" Zionel said.

"God, that's disgusting." Roxy replied.

"But you're gonna do the same Roxy. You miss Haena a lot, don't you?" ask Zionel.

"Ha... Haea... Haena...? Of course I miss him a lot. Why did bang Zio suddenly say that?"

"Find Haena now, she's in this hospital's heart-disease-specific treatment room. Let go of your longing for him." replied Zionel.

Roxy. "What...?"

But Roxy immediately turned her body, she ran out of the room after examining Zionel's words to her.
