MILLION LOVE

SECRETARY BAD LOOKS (4)

Good News for Roxanne

.

.

.

After her fight with Luna Gross at last night's party, which resulted in the breakup of their engagement, Alex wakes up all night in her apartment room. I don't know how many beers he spent that night.

All the calls coming in from Jake are not covered at all. Even the short messages that Jake sent him all night were only allowed to enter the memory of his phone without the intention of replying. Some of them read and some do not.

📩JAKE CIPHER

Alex! Where are you? I've been waiting at our appointment point!

📩JAKE CIPHER

Hey, Dude! Were you accidentally drunk somewhere? Tell me your location, I'll pick it up!

📩JAKE CIPHER

Alex!!! Someone saw you leave the party. You left me alone? Hows...

📩JAKE CIPHER

Please don't worry me, Buddy! You're all right, right?

📩JAKE CIPHER

Did you go back to your apartment? FUCKIN' SHIT! Hope you didn't crash on the road!

Until morning, Alex could not close his eyes. His face was as pale as paper, making the dark circles around his eyes become very clear.

Alex stared blankly at the ceiling of his room, his memory floating back to the moments when he asked Luna Gross to be his lover, and about six months later he knelt down again before the woman to propose.

Yes, an Alex Levine kneels in front of Luna Gross at a fancy restaurant in California. Alex laughed miris. Laughing at his stupidity in loving a woman. Then a phone ring interfered with his daydream.

Alex snatched his phone from the middle of his very wide bed. He looked at the screen where the contact of the mother's name flickered there. Alex glanced at the digital clock in the corner of his phone screen.

Oh, it's this early. Alex muttered as soon as he saw the number nine over ten minutes plastered there.

Alex cleared his throat several times to clear his voice first before finally receiving a phone call made by his mother Roxanne Levine—.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Good morning, Ma.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Morning, Lex. How are you doing, son?

Did you wake up from earlier?

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Hmm, yeah. That's how I woke up, Mom, and I'm good news as always. What about mom?

Alex lied about her situation so that the mother wouldn't worry. Unfortunately, Roxanne's ears are too sensitive not to pick up on the 'not okay' signal from Alex's voice. But the woman chose silence to see the extent of the 'not okay' situation experienced by her son through lies made Alex.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

I'm also mediocre, son. Do you have a job today?

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

No. gabe. No, Madam. Today I'm off so I'm just gonna clean up my apartment.

Aha, Alex's answer just now was enough to convince Roxanne that her son is indeed not in good shape.

In fact, on weekends like this, Alex's work usually piles up, but just now, his son said if he was off. So Roxy was second-guessing whether Alex was forced to be off for something or would rather be off to avoid something.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Oh, so...

Roxy's brain worked quickly and suddenly an idea was present in the middle-aged woman's head.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

When are you going home, son?

Alex frowned for a moment before answering his mother's question.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Why, Mom? Is there a problem?

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Mm, I just I just feel like I'm retiring, Lex, and I might sell the company to some interested Group that wants to acquire Levine Enterprises if you don't plan to be my successor leading our company.

DEG! Alex gasped at the confession. He could not believe, his mother who was still so agile at work suddenly decided to retire. Andwhat? Selling the company to another party? Their company? Alex couldn't believe it.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

But finally only one word was able to be ejected from his mouth.

Nice, Lex! You're a complete loser! Not only was she dumped by a heartless woman, now you can't help your own mother either? You're amazing, Lex! Alex cursed himself in his heart.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

But of course I won't just do it. I'll wait for your approval because you own half of Levine Enterprises' stock.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Yes, I know that, Mom.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Alright, Son. Ann was waiting for me. Your mother has to go back to work even on weekends like this. Take care, okay!

Roxanne throws her best pass at the right moment. Now he can only hope that his only precious son can soon be entangled in the bait.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Wait, Mom! Mm...

Alex tepekur's. He worried for a moment. He felt he would be very sorry if his mother had to lose their company, given how his father and mother built their family business to the present size.

Alex's memory also returns to all the sacrifices of his parents to keep Levine Enterprises standing until now. Alex was ashamed of himself. He was ashamed as a child. When his mother struggled alone to build a company, he was even slumped in his apartment room just because of a jallang woman.

Alex closed his eyes, trying to suggest to himself that there was no time for slumping, let alone just because of a shameless woman like Luna Gross. He must rise up and prove to his former fiance that Alex Levine is not an ordinary man. He is the only heir of Levine Enterprises.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

What's up, Lex? What do you want to say?

Roxanne was immediately confused when Alex did not immediately continue his words.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Maybe I'll go home, Mom. I want to try out the position you're offering. But can I get a trial session first?

Here goes! choke Roxanne in the heart with a thump.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Are you sure?

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

Yes, Mum. I'm so sure!

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Okay, Lex. We'll talk in more detail if you're in Sydney, my son.

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

I'll tell you when I'm coming home.

📱ROXANNE LEVINE

Very well.. I'm waiting for you, son! Take care!

📱ALEX LEVINE'S

You too, Mom. Watch yourself!

"YESH!!! WELL DONE!!!" pekik Roxanne girly. He almost jumped up and down if he did not remember that he was wearing heels and did not want to sprain because of his own ridiculous behavior.

"Are you okay, Mama? I'm here to tell you that I've got the private detective you need. Just wait for the next order from you, Roxy," Ann reports with her usual poker face.

Instead of answering the question of his flagship secretary, Roxy who was still excited because of Alex's approval to try to learn to become the leader of Levine Enterprises, instead immediately hugged Ann to make the girl gawk so shocked.

Ann really did not think she would even get a close hug from the boss in the morning like this. He breaks into the President Director's office to inform him that he has found a competent private detective, until Ann finds Roxy on the phone with her son, and decides to wait.

"Pending the assignment for the detective is Ann, just delay! Because there's more to it than that now" Roxanne lets go of her arms but still holds Ann's arms and takes the girl around in circles like Merry Go Round in a playground.

"And if I may know, what's more important than that detective's job, Roxy?" Ann asked as she fixed her sagging, sloping glasses after Roxanne stopped taking her around in circles.

"The important news is... Alex is coming home, Ann. Can you imagine that? My son is coming home to learn to take my place as the leader of Levine Enterprises. I feel like I've got my Christmas present this year" Roxanne cheered.

Ann's two big eyes rounded wider, she was shocked by what she heard. Wait up! If Alex Levine is to replace Roxy in the lead of the company, then in the future, he will no longer work under Roxanne Levine, but Alex Levine. Is that so? Ambrosia drew this story as she pleased.

And all of a sudden the idea sounded really bad for the flagship secretary, Ambrosia Heart. Very.very... LT'S BAD!
