I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Zionel's Success

The next day...

As Alex had expected, Zionel Cruise was able to handle the company well. After his meeting with the reluctant citizens to free his land, the citizens quickly without hesitation agreed to a new submission from Zionel. They finally agreed to release their land at the right price.

Zionel loosened his tie after the meeting. He leaned his body on the meeting room chair after the residents left him.

"Congratulations Zio" said Alex.

"Congratulations Zio." said Heni.

Because only the two of them are left in the meeting room at this time.

"This is your hard work too" replied Zionel.

"We just prepared the proposal and the file, the rest of you are very extraordinary" said Alex.

Zionel smiled at her smile. "I'd humiliate Cruise's family if it didn't work out for Lex. Hen, you can get out."

Heni nodded his head then left the meeting room.

"What's your next plan, sir?" ask Alex.

"Stay back." replied Zionel, grinning. "Is that the answer you want to hear Lex?"

Of course Alex shook his head.

"So what are you asking? There's still a lot to do before we get back to D. But after this success, surely the company's business colleagues want a celebration. Set everything up tomorrow night Lex."

"What's Golden's nightclub again?"

Zionel moved from his seat. "Return it up wherever Lex is. We're going to the construction site now. I want to see field work directly."

"You sure? I mean the weather today..."

Alex stopped his speech after getting a sharp glare from Zionel's eyes.

"You sound weird after coming to town X. You keep asking me what I want to do." replied Zionel.

"Sorry sir Zio. I'll do the job first with Heni. I'll come to you when it's done."

"That should be the answer I've heard since" Zionel said as he left Alex.

Alex sighed after Zionel came out, in fact he asked a lot because he wanted another answer from the man. He wants to get back to D and set up a blind date with his boss to avoid being contacted by Falera Cruise.

But it seems that Zionel still wants to stay for a long time in city X like never before. The man even wanted to see field work straight away. Alex took his foot out of the meeting room to do his job. The sooner the better to get them back to town D.

"Sister..sleep, you haven't slept since you got home from work" Zaline said after seeing Stevani still awake next to her.

"Why did you wake up, baby? Brother is fine." replied Stevani.

"Where is Yoyoh's mom?"

"Just tell my brother to go home."

"Sister, can't I just go home so as not to trouble anyone?"

"Kaline... Do you want me to keep worrying? Stop whining about asking to go home, you have to have surgery as soon as possible to make a full recovery."

"Actually I'm afraid." said Zaline sadly.

"Hey.it's funny. Since when does my sister Zaline have fear? I thought she was a very brave little girl." - Stevani.

Stevani pulls the blanket higher so Zaline can sleep again. "I'll always be with you baby, no need to be afraid. The doctor said it's just a small operation, your recovery rate is 90%. So what should this pretty girl be afraid of?"

"Where are you going to pay for this operation? I know you still think about it, right?"

"I told you, don't think about it. Trust me, I'll get the money. All you need to do is try to heal and go back with brother, you understand?"

Zaline looked at Stevani in the face, knowing her brother was lying about it. She knew her brother was having so many thoughts at the moment that it was hard to sleep and his face looked sad and sweet.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Get some more sleep, brother will sleep next to you." Stevani said.

"Go home to sleep more comfortably. I'm fine here alone." Pinta Zaline.

"You kicked my sister out, and I miss you so much because I haven't seen you all day."

"It's not like that, there's no decent bed for you. Big brother can get sick if he keeps sleeping while sitting next to me."

"That's a big deal you miss. Go to sleep, I'm fine like this. I'm not leaving you except for work. It's still 4 in the morning, you have to rest a lot so I'm calmer."

Zaline sighed then nodded her head. He closed his eyes again at his brother's request. Stevani kissed Zaline. He could only hold back his tears that almost dripped down his cheeks. He immediately got out of his seat and went into the bathroom.

Stevani sobbed there, not just the operating costs he was thinking about. He was unable to even provide the best treatment room for Zaline due to limited finances. If he can not find the cost for surgery as soon as possible, then the money he saved so far will only be used up for the cost of his sister's treatment room.

"O Lord, give me your guidance. How do I get Zaline's operation money. I don't have anything to sell. Should I..."

Stevani stopped his thoughts as he sobbed. He could not have made money that way, if Zaline knew later of course she would never forgive him. But getting 200 million fast is not easy for Stevani.

Stevani continued to cover her mouth with both hands so that the sound of her stuffing was not heard out. Zaline mustn't know what she's feeling right now. Stevani washes her face, takes a deep breath and then comes out of the bathroom after she feels calm.

Stevani again approached her sleeping sister, looked at the beautiful girl and forced her smile.

"I'm sure you can, you'll get back to Zaline. God sent you to me because I can take care of you. God knows I can live my life with you like this. I will try my hardest to find the money. I'm sure I can.." thought Stevani convinced herself.

Stevani clasped Zaline's little hand, and she lay her head on the bed and fell asleep.

*****

Stevani was surprised when a voice came to him. He opened his eyes, he felt he had just fallen asleep. When his consciousness was fully restored. He was shocked to see Zaline in his bed.

"Miss is awake" said a nurse.

"Where's my sister?" stevani asked in panic.

"Half an hour ago, Miss Zaline was transferred to the first-class room. Since you're still asleep, we don't dare to wake you."

"First grade, but how did he get transferred there?" stevani asked in confusion.

"There was a man who asked for it, miss Zaline, she was also able to do the surgery immediately because all the costs were already borne by the man."

Stevani. "Wait sus. I have no brothers here at all. A man, who do you mean?"

"I was the one who did it."

A man walked into the room smiling at Stevani. Stevani looked up at him.

"Yes..."
