I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Zionel Cruise's

Pt building. Raya Cruise Construction in the city of D plastered magnificent. A handsome man walked towards the meeting room with the assistant and some of the staff of the board of directors who followed in his footsteps. Every employee there swiftly and neatly greeted the arrival of the man. Zionel Cruise owns the construction company.

The man was very young and very handsome, but because of his busyness. He could not find a life partner. Even some women who have been arranged by their mothers to do a blind date are always rejected.

"The late Mr. Zio..."

"The late Mr. Zio..."

"The late Mr. Zio..."

That was their greeting to the man, but only the nod they got. They immediately headed for the meeting room to discuss the project in the troubled city X.

After sitting in the meeting room, one of the staff began reporting on the project's problems. Alex Rudiart's assistant handed over his files to Zionel Cruise. Zionel saw the file.

"Land liberation? Didn't we already pay the land with high compensation" Zionel said.

"The problem is there are some residents who ask for twice the price agreed upon before" replied Alex.

Zionel slammed the file. "Aren't there any of you who can solve this problem?"

"The problem is not that there is only one citizen who asks for it. There are at least fifteen residents sir." said one of the staff.

Zionel looked at Alex and got a nod.

"How much money is left for the land acquisition?" ask Zionel.

"About a trillion pack." replied the staff.

"Alex...Is there a very important work schedule this week?" ask Zionel.

"There's no corporate problem sir unless the President's mother asks you..."

"Cancel that." cut Zionel. "We're going to town X for a week, arrange for our departure tomorrow morning Lex." he said.

"All right sir." Alex replied.

"It's done, I'll go down there" Zionel said as he left and left without waiting for anyone's approval.

The decisions Zionel Cruise makes are always irrefutable. He walked out of the meeting room, followed by Alex Rudiart to his office. The man entered his study room and stared at the window glass with nanar.

"Is there no information on Haena Cruise yet?" zionel asked without looking at his assistant.

Haena Cruise is his sister who is missing, has various ways he has done to find the whereabouts of his sister but still can not find it.

"Everything is still nil sir." replied Alex.

Zionel sighed and then turned his body. "O Lord..Where is he? Mommy often cries when she misses him. Daddy's been trying to cheer her up but it never works."

"Mother President will be calm if you also want to accept women..."

"Stop talking about my problem, Lex. I'm not getting married until my sister is found." Zionel.

"Sir Zio.this is for your good as well. It's time someone took care of you. You would rather live in an apartment than a Cruise family mansion. The President's mother always complained of loneliness, sir. He has lost his daughter, after that you just leave the house" said Alex.

"I'm crazy to be in that big house, I always remember Haena's laughter, her behavior in that house. That's why I left Lex's house." Zionel replied.

"I can't blame you sir. But I also could not bear to hear complaints from the President's mother."

"Who told you to go to my house to see him."

"Mommy seems to be keeping an eye on my movements. I'm not a kid anymore, Lex." Zionel said.

"Mother President just wants you to get married, sir."

"Daddy isn't as noisy as mommy."

"That's because the President handed everything over to the President."

"Forget that.I still don't want to."

"But sir, this week ma'am President arranged your meeting with the daughter of the owner of the company PT. Yudistira Fashion's. How should I cancel it?" ask Alex.

"Do Lex if you're still my assistant." Zionel threatened.

Alex let out a long sigh, again he had to deal with Falera Cruise. The woman would yell and curse at him if he did not manage to bring his son on a blind date.

"So, sir, how about you meet him after you get back from X?" ask Alex.

"No. I don't want to see him or any other woman, period." replied Zionel.

"Sir Zio... You're making me in trouble."

"Ck. It's not your job, Lex."

"Women who are arranged by the President's mother are very beautiful. You're still normal, right?" tease Alex.

Zionel. "Do you want to prove if I'm normal or not? Come here. Let me kiss you."

Alex immediately flicked his body. "You're out of your mind" he answered, causing Zionel to let go of his laughter.

"Retail our trip tomorrow, I want the morningest plane. Without Lex's refusal anymore." Zionel ordered.

"Well, want me to talk anything no longer works" replied Alex.

Zionel pulled the corner of his lips in mockery. "Come out.I want to be alone now." she said.

"And it's always thrown away after it's not needed" Alex lamented.

Zionel let go of his laughter. Alex looked even more upset, the man finally took his leave of the room. Zionel's laughter and smile instantly disappeared after his assistant walked out of his study. He went back to the window and stared at the view from the top of his building with a pus.

"I've even hired the best detective in town, but still didn't manage to find you Haena. The police have been trying to find you, too, but they have been fruitless. Why did you disappear at school? And even more astonishingly, not a single eyewitness saw you. Actually, where did you go, why would you leave this mommy, daddy and your brother. Are you okay out there?" zionel thought sad.

Zionel took his wallet in his pants pocket. He opened the wallet and again grieved when he saw the beautiful photo of his sister who was smiling there. At that time his sister was only 7 years old. And if Haena's alive, she's 12 now.

"Don't smile like that if you finally leave us. You're so mean, honey. You should have said if you needed anything, we would have done it. Not even like this. Don't you miss mommy? Mommy always cries when she misses you. Haena... I'm sure you're still healthy until now. So go home long enough you've left us." muttered Zionel as he looked at the picture of his sister.

"What do you really need, baby? All this time we've been doing whatever you want." Zionel said, closing his wallet and throwing it to the table.

He went to his desk, and sat there. Zionel Cruise returns to professional fashion while working. He began to see the file reports that had been piled up on his desk. One by one he opened and signed it. As a CEO, he has to keep working professionally in the midst of his personal thoughts and problems.
