I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Stevani Makes Zionel Happy

Stevani entered Zionel's apartment, surprised to see that the apartment was clean and tidy.

"Zio really did contact a waiter, then what should I do now?" stevani muttered.

He threw his body onto the sofa, the woman kept thinking while turning on the television. But his habit of working hard every day makes him not want to sit still like that. He also if a lot of silence will make him miss Zaline even more.

"Zio said to be back before dinner, well I'll cook something for tonight. I hope he wants to eat my cooking again." muttered Stevani again.

He moved from his seat to the dressing room. He wears his clothes as in his own home. When he finished, he headed to the kitchen. Open the refrigerator and smile when the contents are full of groceries.

"The man knows I like to cook. Noteworthy if he had his servant fill this refrigerator with groceries. But what am I supposed to do now? I don't know what kind of food that guy likes. Ah... I've cooked whatever I can. I hope he likes it too and as far as I can see, Zio has never chosen to eat" Stevani said.

After he muttered and spoke to himself, he began to take the ingredients out of the fridge. Just the usual home cooking Stevani thought of. He had to cook slowly because the dinner time was still long.

The woman came out of the kitchen to pick up her headset that she was carrying before starting cooking. He connected the headset to his phone, played music and started putting the headset in his ear. He also returned to the kitchen.

He started humming, dancing a little while continuing to cut his groceries. Stevani was not aware that the apartment had cctv cameras installed in every corner, except in the dressing room and bathroom.

Zionel arrived at the company, leaving the entire staff shocked by his arrival without an escort. Even Alex doesn't know that Zionel is coming to the company.

Zionel asked the entire staff to be normal because he came like that, he immediately went into the private elevator to Alex's office.

Alex was a really good employee, the man was still busy with some documents in front of him, he was not aware of the arrival of his boss. Zionel could only smile and knock on Alex's door.

"Get in.." Alex said without looking up.

Zionel goes into Alex's office. He moved his legs and approached Alex. Of course Alex immediately looked up when he smelled the fragrance of the perfume that Zionel used to use. The man nearly toppled over when he got up from his seat abruptly.

"Sir Zio.." said Alex to his surprise.

Zionel laughs. "Am I like a ghost?"

"How did you get here?"

"I borrowed the wings of a bird and flew here." - Zionel.

"Aren't you supposed to still be at the President's house. That's what I mean Mr. Zio" Alex said.

Zionel threw his body onto the sofa, raised his right leg and then crossed it over his left leg casually.

"A meeting full of surprises Lex. Cecil made me almost die standing up because I kept testing Stevani with the identity I introduced. English, clothing design is driving me crazy."

"Then...?"

"Then whatnot? Stevani made a surprise, he was fluent in English and could design."

"Huh? Really true?"

Zionel nodded his head. "God really helped me. But marriage, I had to argue with my parents. Mommy and daddy still don't approve of me marrying Stevani next week. Looks like daddy's gonna find out about Stevani, Lex."

"You don't have to worry Mr. Zio, Miss Stevani's old identity in town X has been erased and replaced with her new identity. If the President's man is not careful, then everything is safe. But if this fails, then..."

"I will marry her even without their consent" Zionel said.

"Are you sure you're going against your parents because of Miss Stevani?"

"It seems you really like Miss Stevani."

"I just don't want my son to be born without a father. Didn't I say it. Only one year can I know where my son is" Zionel replied.

"What if Miss Stevani isn't pregnant?" ask Alex.

"Are you questioning my skills in bed?"

"Dare not to dare Mr. Zio." replied Alex.

"I don't want to let go now, but I don't know when I'll find out if she's not pregnant. It was only a few days after we did it. And I've always wanted to kiss her, too, what a crazy feeling I'm feeling right now" Zionel thought.

"Sir Zio.." call Alex because Zionel was swept away in his daydream.

"We'll look at Lex for the next year, don't ask now" Zionel replied.

"But you just need to make sure Miss Stevani is pregnant next month Mr. Zio, you don't have to wait until a year."

"Follow as per contract, you're so chatty."

Alex chuckles, Zionel is so stubborn as to confess his current feelings. The man in front of him is not yet aware of his own feelings if he wants Stevani more than a responsibility he does.

"What's the report from X?" ask Zionel.

"Everything is going well, Mrs Heni is really a competent woman" Alex replied.

"Thank God... My choice will never be wrong."

"Where is Miss Stevani now?" ask Alex.

"I almost forgot, he was taken to the apartment. I'll be back before dinner. I'm afraid she's scared to be alone in the apartment." Zionel replied.

"You're worried about him, Zio."

"Of course, that woman is my responsibility. Where's tablet? I want to see what he's doing inside the apartment."

Alex moved from his seat to the table to retrieve a tablet and hand it to Zionel. Zionel connected the tablet to an online cctv at his home. Looking for Stevani's whereabouts, his eyes widened when he saw what the woman was doing in the kitchen.

Focusing on one screen, Zionel smiled and held back his laughter as he watched Stevani continue dancing while struggling with his cooking. Alex's curiosity soon rose, the man approached Zionel but Zionel closed the tablet.

"What are you doing?" ask Zionel.

"You're not looking at him undressing, are you?" tease Alex.

Zionel hits Alex on the head with his tablet.

"Your mind is too dirty Lex. He's doing something funny, and I'm not gonna let you see him" Zionel said possessively. "Go back to work, I'm not done seeing it" he added.

Alex sighed, and he immediately returned to his desk. Zionel is looking back at the tablet screen. Time and again Zionel chuckles amusedly to see it makes Alex more curious, but whatever the power, even to death Alex will not know. But Alex can see the difference between his rigid superiors first with now. The presence of Stevani was able to change Zionel even though Zionel had not realized it himself.
