I'm Not a Cheap Woman

There's Vinegar Acid

What Zionel really wanted Alex to do, the man ended up stopping right at the restaurant in front of the airport. Alex parked the car beautifully and got out. The man immediately opened Zionel's car door.

Zionel looked at Stevani. "We eat." he said flatly.

"I stay here." Stevani replied.

"Go out alone or I'll drag you?" threaten Zionel's.

"Just do it if you dare." challenge Stevani.

Zionel sighed, he got out of the car and turned to Stevani's side door. The man opened the car door violently making Stevani gasp.

"I told Alex that I can't be full, I'm afraid of motion sickness" Stevani said quickly.

"lex? What did you call Alex?" zionel.

"A. A... Alex." replied Stevani stammered.

"Since when have you been so close that you had to call her name?"

"Sir Zio I just..."

"You shut up Lex.." snapped Zionel.

Alex's words stopped.

"Actually why the hell are you? Why are you like the woman who's coming on the moon? A moment of anger, a moment of annoyance." sneered Stevani.

"You've signed the contract, you're mine. So you have no right to be close to another man even if it's Alex. I don't want you to call her name again, call her Mr. Alex... Remember SIR." Zionel's pinta.

Alex laughed and left them for the restaurant.

"When do I agree to be yours or to be your woman?"

Zionel laughs. "My God, Miss Stevani Yunsu, you can't be stupid, right? Didn't you read the contract. It's been clear that for a year you couldn't be close to another man because you're the woman of Zionel Cruise, my woman which means mine."

Stevani. "Will the contract have such a thing?"

"Ckckck."

"Others in it?" ask Stevani.

"I've already sent the contract to my lawyer in D city. You'll know when you get there."

"What's wrong with you saying it?" stevani.

"I'm hungry" Zionel replied as he left Stevani and closed his car door violently.

"Based on a jerk...!!!" stevani shouted in the car.

Of course the sound of screaming could not be heard by Zionel from the outside.

*****

Zionel walked into the restaurant, of course his eyes were very sharp on Alex.

"Are you jealous of me?" alex Goda.

"How dare you tell Stevani to call your name Lex."

"I'm glad he called my name, it felt closer." teased Alex on purpose.

"Don't expect him to call just your name."

"Oh my God, Mr. Zio, ever since I found out you were interested in Ms. Stevani, I quickly retreated. You're not my rival."

"Who's interested in that woman Lex. Didn't you read the contents of the contract you made with your own hands?"

Alex laughs. "Well I give in, I won't let Miss Stevani call my name."

"That's right."

Alex shook his head, he could smell the sour scent of vinegar (jealously) around Zionel's body, but his boss still hadn't noticed it. But seeing Zionel's attitude, Alex can be calmer. Because he was convinced, Zionel would protect Stevani as hard as he could from his own family.

The waiter began to give them food, after the two ordered lunch, the waiter left them to prepare the food.

"Wait for me to almost forget something, didn't I tell you to take the medicine box, why did you just take an ice cube compress?"

"Oh my God, you're still talking about it. Miss Stevani's arm was just bruised by a blunt object, Mr. Zio, she didn't need any medicine but a compress."

"Alright forget that, but I still can't believe he just fell down on his own. You said that woman wasn't good when she called you. He sounds scared, right?"

"Find out about that Lex, you're gonna have to do what you have to do if they really hurt Stevani."

"Sir Zio. Miss Stevani's impression of saying that in front of them was excellent. They'll respect the lady more, even appreciate her as your wife."

"Didn't that have to be done by them and anyone who works in the Cruise company."

"You've forgotten Miss Stevani's true background. If the lady's attitude is like this, then the previous background will be replaced by Mr. Zio. I think it's best that you forget this little incident for the good of Miss Stevani."

Zionel sighed. "Okay, this time I let it go. But no other times Lex, I'm not gonna let anyone touch and hurt my people."

"Of course Mr. Zio, just this time."

"Did that woman really not want to eat lunch?" ask Zionel.

"It seems like it's the first time he's traveled far, he doesn't want to get drunk on the trip and embarrass himself Mr. Zio."

"Isn't there an anti-sickness drug, why isn't he just taking it?"

Alex just shrugged his shoulders because he didn't know.

"How is Zaline Yunsu?" ask Zionel again.

"I've contacted Dr. Mark, it looks like the little lady's health is improving. We don't take long to move it."

"It's good if it's like that. I don't want Stevani to be sad when she gets to D."

"You're really worried about Miss Stevani sir."

"Of course, he should stay cheerful in front of the Cruise family. I don't want to see her face as if she's being forced into marriage."

"Isn't that what you're doing?" tease Alex.

"Remember Lex... A sense of responsibility. You forgot what happened to us."

"OK okay. sense of responsibility." Alex replied with a smile.

The restaurant staff also served their orders.

"How long will our plane be landing?"

Alex looked at his watch. "Possible another half an hour sir."

"If you eat so quickly, I know you eat so much like a pig." - Zionel.

Alex swears to make Zionel finally laugh. The two began their lunch quietly.

*****

Stevani continued to think about the contents of the marriage contract. He was so stupid for not reading it first. But what he did was because he didn't want to change his mind anymore. He just wanted Zaline to do the best treatment.

"Zaline. Come back to me, baby, I want to tell you this crazy guy." Stevani thought.

Stevani stares at his phone, he opens a photo gallery. The woman smiled every time she saw Zaline there. Every behavior of the beautiful girl was always immortalized Stevani silently, even she also often took photos when Zaline fell asleep with her mouth gaping.

"Are you sleeping like this now, Zaline, if that's what you're doing, the doctor and the nurse will laugh to see it."

Stevani smiled again at the thought of it, he let out a long sigh and closed his cell phone gallery.

"The more I see your picture, the more I miss you. And even more foolish, though I smile but my tears will soon spill. I have to be strong, I can definitely get through all this. I don't know what's going to happen in City D, but obviously whatever it is, I have to stick around for Zaline's recovery." Stevani murmured.

Stevani continues to be swept away in his daydream until he doesn't know if Alex and Zionel are back. He gasped when the car door opened.

"You're daydreaming miss." sneered Zionel.

"I don't. ah forget it." Stevani replied.

"Miss Stevani, do you want to buy anything before you get into the airport?" ask Alex.

"It doesn't seem like it, thank you." Stevani replied gently.

"Annoxious." Zionel grumbled.

Stevani looked at him but there was no further word from the man, while Alex could only hold back his laughter. Alex knew that Stevani's difference in tone was what upset Zionel.
