I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Accused

Along the way, Stevani kept staring out the car window. He saw the view of city X that he would leave in a moment. Once he still sobbed, he wiped his own tears with the back of his hand.

"Is there any place you want to go before you go?" ask Alex.

"No. If I go down again, maybe I'll change my mind" Stevani replied.

"Miss.you may face new problems when you get to D. Mr. Zio's family is the richest family in the city, chances are if you keep your real identity, you will encounter a lot of problems. I'm not forcing or advising you to lie, but it seems that for one year of your contract, there is no harm in you using a new identity that has been prepared by Mr. Zio. Next to you is a file, you can read it if you are interested."

"What is the Cruise family so hard to deal with?"

"The Cruise family is actually a very good family, but because of their honor that is so famous in the city of D. They couldn't possibly let anyone carelessly enter their homes. Mr. Zio just wants to protect you from his family, so Mr. Zio suggests you falsify your identity, miss."

"I want to be myself as I am without any falsehood, but because the marriage will be based on a lie, maybe I will consider it." Stevani replied, taking the file beside her.

"And I think for Mr. Zio this wedding is for real Miss Vani. Mr. Zio wouldn't marry a woman to lie to his family so easily. Mr. Zio is very interested in you, on the basis of the responsibilities he makes and to cover his pride, he asks you to marry a contract. He could have hired a better woman than you, but what he did chose you. And the mistake you make when you're drunk, it's not just a mistake. Mr. Zio really wants you, to do it. I'm still betting with myself that my judgment is correct, I won't let my name turn into Alexa." Alex thought with a smile.

Stevani continued to read the file, the woman was repeatedly seen widening her eyes.

"It's so overkill." Stevani grumbled.

"That's the standard of Miss Cruise's family." Stevani replied.

"It seems that if I use my real identity, then I will live in hell." Stevani said.

Alex laughed when he heard it.

"May I ask Lex?"

"Please miss."

"Why did Zionel reject the matchmaking that his mother always arranged?"

"Heeeem. But you should know, if Mr. Zio actually has a younger sister that he cares about very much. But. Miss Haena Cruise disappeared somewhere."

"What's? Disappeared?"

Stevani was shocked to hear new facts about Zionel Cruise.

"Then you didn't look for him?" ask Stevani.

Alex smiled at his smile. "Could it be that Cruise's family who has a lot of money would just shut up if his family disappeared? Of course, they had been searching for the existence of the little lady for years. But every effort the Cruise family put in was fruitless."

"Then what does this have to do with Zionel Cruise's matchmaking?"

"Sir Zio decided to live single until he could find his sister. He even got out of Cruise's mansion and lived in an apartment to forget the good memories with his sister."

"So like that, Zionel seemed to love his sister very much."

"Very well.he would probably be willing to exchange his life if it were to be done to find Miss Haena."

"So I was really a shield to stop his mother from making an arranged marriage" Stevani murmured sadly.

"What did Miss Vani say?" ask Alex.

"Ah. nope... Where do we want to go now?"

"Possibly Mr. Zio is currently saying goodbye to his company, we picked him up there."

"All right..."

"Did Miss Vani have breakfast?"

Stevani nodded her head.

"Maybe we'll have lunch near the airport" Alex added.

"I'd rather not eat too much before going on a long trip. I don't want a drunken trip." replied Stevani.

"Do you like to get drunk?"

"Let's know. I've never traveled far. Oh yeah, I'm really embarrassed to ask you this. What about Zionel? I mean the wound..it..."

Alex laughed again. "Just calm down, he's even stronger if he's got a knife on him." she said.

"It's a shame, I even did that."

"Don't tell this to Mr. Zio, miss, I still want to work with him but he deserves it" Alex said, laughing.

Stevani finally laughs, the more comfortable he is with Alex. The man really likes to joke. His sadness was finally able to change because of the entertainment of the man.

Alex is on the road to the company. Stevani was surprised when he saw the company building that stood so magnificent.

Alex grinned. "You're not not getting along, you're probably too busy working, miss."

"Thank you for comforting me, Lex."

Alex pulled the car over beautifully in the company parking lot. He looked at his watch.

"It looks like we still have a few hours before we get to the airport. We'd better wait for her inside miss." Alex said.

Stevani shook her head. "I'd better stay here. I don't trust myself to break into a big company."

"You'll soon be Cruise's young mistress. You have to get used to going in and out of a place like this."

"Please give me some time to do that. I'll just stay here."

"You sure? This place is so hot, even if I keep this car on, chances are you'll still be grilled."

"It's okay Lex, if I'm bored I'm going to walk down the street" Stevani replied, pointing to a corporate park.

Alex took a breath. "Well, if anything happens, call me immediately."

"Sure, thank you Lex."

Alex smiled and got out of the car. The man left Stevani in the company. Stevani stubbornly waited for them in his car.

*****

Stevani had been waiting for them for almost two hours, but both were still not out of the company. He began to sit in the car. Alex said, today's heat is very stinging. He got out of his car immediately.

"It's time I called Mark's doctor" Stevani murmured.

The woman took her phone while walking towards the company park. She was so grateful to hear of Zaline's development from Dr. Mark. But he still could not say goodbye to his sister because he still could not meet him directly.

"Thank you doc, please take care of my sister and give me my message that I'm waiting for her to regain consciousness" Stevani said.

"Of course Miss Stevani, hope your journey is safe until the destination. If Miss Zaline's progress is getting better, then the move will be done soon." replied Dr. Mark.

"Okay doc, thanks again."

Stevani hangs up the phone and sits in the garden, reading no prohibition not to step on plants there. What he did turned out to have been noticed by the park guards. A man approached her and scolded her, leaving Stevani shocked.

"I'm sorry sir.." said Stevani.

"Looks like you're not a company employee, do you want to steal here?" the man snaps violently.

"Ah. of course not. I'm waiting for someone."

"Thief where there's confessing, let's go..."

Stevani was shocked as his hand was pulled violently by the man.

"Take me off. I'm not a thief." cried Stevani.

However, he was pulled and taken to a security post. The man violently pushed Stevani there to the point of falling. The woman grimaced as her arm hit the end of the table.

"This is a flower thief in the garden sir, all this time we lost a flower it turns out this woman is the culprit" the man told security.

"I'm not a thief, I'm really waiting for people" Stevani replied.

The security helped Stevani stand up. "Sit down, lady, then who are you waiting for here?"

"Mr Zio and Alex" Stevani replied.

Both of them looked at Stevani, instead they laughed out loud.

"How do you know the name of the owner of this company? How can a woman like you wait for them, do you want to rob them?"

Stevani was stupefied, he was accused of being a thief, now he is accused of being a robber.

"Is my appearance really inappropriate to meet them?" stevani thought while looking at her own appearance.
