I'm Not a Cheap Woman

Perplexities

Alex returns to the hospital with the food Zionel wants. When he reached the front of the room, he looked at Roxy.

"What is Mr Zio doing now?" ask Alex to Roxy.

Roxy shrugged her shoulders.

"Ck.O Lord my fate." lamented Alex made Roxy giggle amusedly.

"Tap it, didn't bang Zio order the food" Roxy said.

"My bonus, my salary is always a bet." replied Alex with a long sigh.

"That's your pain."

"Damn it.." as Alex said.

Roxy chuckled again. "Where are you going, right? My brother said I could go home if Alex was back."

"Can't you stay here with me, I'll die of boredom if I'm alone." Alex asked.

Roxy shook her head. "I have an appointment with a friend tonight. Goodbye, Alex." he sneered.

Alex snorts. "What kind of guard comes home like that. I'll tell Mr. Zio if the guards should have stayed 24 hours."

"Oh come on, Alex, don't ruin my youth."

"Ciiiih, as if I were old."

"Indeed.." sneered Roxy.

Alex again cursed to make Roxy let go of her laughter.

"Don't forget Roxy, who paid for your credit card was me even if it was money from Mr. Zio. So if I'm late to pay, you can't use it." threatened Alex.

Roxy. "Oh come on, Alex, don't be as ruthless as Zio's bang."

"You can go home after saying I'm young and handsome. Let's do it fast..."

"Yeahhhhhh..."

"One..."

"I don't want to lie."

"Two..."

"Geez, I'm sorry for my lies God."

"Ti..."

"Sir Alex is young and handsome.

Alex lets go of his laugh and kicks Roxy's ass to leave the hospital. He was very close to his cousin Zionel. The habits of the two are indeed arguing and fighting each other. But it was their pleasant habit.

Alex breathes in after Roxy is gone. He hesitated to knock on the door. But still he had to do because if he was late it would make Zionel threaten his bonus and salary.

Tok tok...

"Sir Zio... I've bought the food. So..."

"Come in...!!!" answer Zionel from within.

Alex enters the room and finds Zionel standing at the bathroom door. Alex stared at the empty bed, he finally understood what his superior was doing.

"This is Zio's food" Alex said.

"You're really noisy, your hospital considers the night market. Just put the food on the table." Zionel said.

"That's... Roxy's coming home."

"Let it go, he can't sleep here. You can go home, Lex."

"Ah...no Zio sir" Alex replied, shaking his head.

"You need to take a break to take care of Lex's company. I can take care of Stevani. You don't have to come here tomorrow."

"But sir, I'm still worried about you. Reportedly from the police, the suspect has been identified but has not been caught and is still in pursuit."

"Tomorrow Roxy's on and you've sent some guards here. The company needs you because I don't exist. I can rest easy if you handle it. And the investigation I'm asking for should also be completed by Lex" Zionel replied. "Darling... Is it not finished yet?" he knocked on the bathroom door.

The bathroom door opened, immediately Zionel lifted Stevani's body towards the sofa making Alex hurt himself with the wound of his superior. He shook his head with Zionel's attitude towards the woman.

"Too protective can also be but think about your situation too sir" said Alex.

"Your boss sucks Alex" Stevani said.

Zionel dropped Stevani onto the couch. "Look. I'm fine. You're overreacting with this little wound."

"Sir Alex, can you ask the doctor to tie her to the bed? I think the wound is worse than mine, so..."

"You..."

"Don't be mad, beautiful lady, your angry face makes me want to..."

Stevani silenced Zionel's mouth with his hand. But the man actually kissed Stevani's palm making the woman immediately pull her hand back.

Alex held back his laughter looking at his superior who kept teasing his lover. He did not expect Zionel's attitude to change drastically in front of the woman after knowing his own feelings.

"It looks like I should go home before I become a mosquito repellent. Mr. Zio, Miss Stevani, this food is safe for you. Have a good time enjoying your dinner. I'm saying goodbye now." Alex said.

Zionel smiled then nodded his head. "Call me right away if you have any news on Lex. I'll hang on for another day here."

"Good sir Zio."

"Be careful Alex and thank you." Stevani said.

"There's no need to worry about miss." Alex replied again as she left them.

Zionel looked at Stevani after Alex came out.

"Why?" ask Stevani.

"Can't you reduce your attention to other men."

Stevani chuckles. "You're getting jealous, sir."

"This is your punishment" Zionel replied, kissing Stevani's lips.

The arrival of Yudhishthira made Nicholas and Falera surprised. The man was visiting after previously coming home full of anger.

"Please lord Judis, what brought you here?" ask Nicholas.

"I'm sorry before my attitude was not good Mr. Cruise. I heard your son was stabbed. How's he doing now?" jude began the conversation.

"At a very fast time the gossip spread, but it is true that our son was stabbed. But thank God, he's fine now, we're going to the hospital soon to see him." replied Nicholas.

"Thank God... What about the perpetrator? I mean.. Have you been caught?"

"The police have found the identity of the perpetrator, now in pursuit" Falera replied. "Did you come here because you were worried about our son? Shouldn't you go straight to the hospital."

Nicholas stopped his wife by holding her hand and shook his head. The two continued to look at Yudishthira who was very awkward and looked frightened.

"Lord Yudhishthira..."

Nicholas is not finished talking. They were all wide-eyed when Judithira came to rest in front of them.

"What are you doing sir?" nicholas asked him to try to wake up Yudhishthira.

"Master and mistress Cruise, please forgive our daughter, please let go of our daughter. He was wrong, he didn't mean to hurt your son. I beg you to release our daughter." said Yudistira.

Nicholas and Falera looked at each other, both of whom did not understand what Judith had said.

"What's wrong with Varisa sir? He's okay, right?" ask Falera.

Yudistira nodded his head. "He has not grown up, since childhood whatever he asked us to do, so when he wanted Zio, he did not want to be rejected. But we didn't expect that because of her overindulgence, our daughter would do something as low as this. Mrs Cruise, please forgive our daughter. He's innocent, he was just instigated by your nephew to do all this. Please let go of our daughter."

"Mr Yudhishthira, can you explain all this slowly. For God's sake, we don't yet understand what you mean. And please wake up, don't be like this." Nicholas asked.

Yudhishthira refused to wake up. He began to tell everything and Cecil's name was carried along in the man's story. Nicholas and Falera could not believe what they were hearing at this moment.

"That's how it happened, our daughter is so obsessed with your son. Please forgive Varisa, she's our only daughter, if she goes to jail, what about our lives?"

Falera covered her mouth with her hands, she shook her head still distrusting all of this. Nicholas immediately calmed his wife.

"He almost killed our son, how could we forgive him, Lord Judis. If Stevani were to get stabbed, he would kill our granddaughter. How do we forget all this? Cecil loves Zio so much, how could he possibly be involved in this matter, isn't this just your daughter's reason for looking for a scapegoat?" nicholas said a little louder his voice. "Let the legal process that investigates this matter, my wife and I can't just let go of this matter. We'll call Cecil for an explanation." he added.

"For God's sake, Mr. Cruise, don't prolong this matter. We beg to release Varisa, his future will be ruined if he goes to jail. Please Mr. Cruise." pinta Yudistira.

"If you love your daughter, you should not educate her in a responsible way for what she does. Your attitude like this will make your daughter even more spoiled master Judis. Maybe we can forgive him, but this report has been to the police, of course it will still go through the legal process. And our son won't just let go." Falera said. "I like Varisa so much, I didn't think she'd do something like this" he added.

Yudishthira lowered her head, and her phone rang. The man ignored his phone.

"Get up Mr. Judis and pick up your cell phone, maybe it's important" Nicholas said.

Yudhishthira was forced to take his cell phone in his pocket, the call was from his wife. The man picked up his phone, his eyes wide open, he suddenly held his chest in tightness. And Judith fell to the floor, making Nicholas and Falera very surprised.
