Sephia's Deceptions

Sephia and Alex

Lidya looks nervous to hear Sarah's question that is so thin. Fortunately Sarah did not ask further, making her breathe a little relieved at this time.

"You have to prepare for tomorrow" Sarah said as she tidied Lidya's bed and sat on the edge. "I hope you wake up early, we go to the salon first to take care of your body and hair" he added.

"Okay, ready!" answer Lidya.

"Ndre, you exchanged with me, you slept with Roni tonight, and I'm here with Lidya" Sarah said, not caring about the changing facial features of the two men standing nearby, Andre and Roni.

Lidya smiled and nodded in agreement. "Good idea!" his praise.

Sontak Andre and Roni immediately went out and sat on the terrace of the cottage while looking at the beautiful night view in that place. Flickering lights in each cottage add a romantic impression, while in some places, there is a bonfire surrounded by several young couples who are singing love songs.

Back inside the cottage, Sarah patted Lidya's shoulder gently and then showed her something in her left hand. "What's this?" whispered. "You've done it with Andre?"

Lidya was surprised to see the object in Sarah's left hand. "Please throw this away and keep it a secret from them. I'm ashamed that so many people know" he pleaded.

Sarah smiled faintly. "You don't trust me? If you want from now I've been wondering about this," he replied. Lidya asks for the thing Sarah held and wraps it in plastic and throws it in the trash.

"Andre forgot to throw it away," muttered Lidya in a regretful tone.

"You love her?" ask Sarah to investigate.

"Who?"

"Andre, Roni's time?" answer Sarah.

"I'm not sure" said Lidya.

"Not sure but you've done it the same to him."

Lidya smiled sadly. "I've been acting stupid. In the end, I regret it."

Sarah took a long breath. "Not to support your actions, but I think you deserve to be happy too, Lidya."

"But I am still guilty. How is it different from Alex?"

"Is it all because of revenge on Alex? You're doing it without love?" ask Sarah more deeply.

"Honestly, when I did it I just imagined being with Alex, not Andre," Lidya replied again full of regret.

"Pity Andre, I'm sure his heart is currently blooming because it has got you, even though when doing so he uses safety," said Sarah.

"That's what I regret. I feel like I've given her hope and opportunity."

"What are your plans after this? I'm sure Andre will be more possessive of you."

Lidya pressed her shoulders. "I still haven't thought about it. I hope Andre can understand me."

"How does he understand that you're not talking frankly to him? Honestly Lidya. Just tell Andre everything so he doesn't expect you" Sarah said. "It's not because he's my cousin, but I'm more so that you don't get caught up in the complicated relationship between Andre and Alex, which ultimately has a big impact on your career" Sarah explained.

"You're right. I'll think about it later, after meeting Alex, tomorrow."

Sarah smiled wickedly. "You seem to miss Alex so much" guessed it.

"Very! You know how I am, Sarah. I'm a very stupid woman and wife, who still want to accept a man like Alex" Lidya replied.

"You're not stupid, you only love someone with the sincerity of your heart. Alex should be grateful to have you as his wife. If I were Alex, every day I'd pamper and have fun."

Lidya laughed a little. "But you're not Alex."

"That's. And the only stupid human being right now is Alex" Sarah said. "Once you go, we'll just go to sleep. I've contacted the salon who will take care of you, he said we should come around six in the morning."

"Buset, early in the morning," said Lidya who then immediately laid her body beside Sarah.

"You have an appointment to see Alex at nine, it takes a lot of time to make you look perfect" replied Sarah who then got out of bed and closed the door of the tree house after evicting Andre and Roni.

"As long as you stay calm and act cool, your fear will not happen. Believe this. That hairstyle and makeup will fool Alex."

"Hopefully so."

"Already, sleep. Don't get the bad luck."

***

Ten minutes before the promised time, Alex was already sitting sweetly in the lobby of the XX hotel, waiting for the arrival of Sephia with a pounding heart. He had contacted Sarah to confirm everything, and he had already booked a VIP room at XX Resto, which belonged to the hotel in the rooftop. His plan this morning was to tie Sephia up to be with him every day, for work reasons.

Kim who stood nearby lowered his head and approached Alex, when he saw the presence of Sarah who stepped closer to Alex, alone. "Miss Sarah's here, sir."

"It wasn't Sarah I was waiting for, but Sephia," Alex said.

"We wait, it looks like there's something he wants to say." Kim tries to ease Alex's emotions.

"You're right." Alex leaned back and stared intently at Sarah who stepped confidently in front of the two powerful men.

"Where's Miss Sephia?" ask Kim, representing Alex.

"Sorry, Miss Sephia is waiting for you at the rooftop, more precisely at XX Resto" Sarah replied as she threw her sweetest smile, especially at Kim, because so far he is still upset with Alex regarding the man's actions to his cousin. Kim looked at him immediately. Just this time he saw a woman as beautiful and friendly as Sarah, especially the girl looks so energetic and smart.

"Didn't you say I was waiting for him here?" reproach Alex.

"Already, Miss Sephia specifically apologized for this, because she was waiting for another important guest there, so just meet you guys," Sarah explained quite calmly. He had expected Alex to object, because the man always wanted everyone to obey him, but this time would not apply to Sephia.

"If it is not acceptable to see Miss Sephia, the agreement can be canceled, and we are ready to bear all the compensation" Sarah said.

Alex scowled in annoyance. "Who said to refuse? I was just wondering why he didn't come to this place when he knew I was waiting for him" Alex said. "Kim, we're going to the rooftop now! Cancel the VIP room."

"Ready, Sir."

Sarah smiled and won. He then sent a message to Lidya to get ready at her place, while she followed up, through the other elevator door. He has also contacted Andre to be ready for his position. However, Lidya still has to be escorted, just in case the disguise is revealed by Alex.

Upon arriving at the rooftop, Alex immediately spread his gaze all over the place and found Lidya sitting quietly while reading the magazine in her hand. The woman looked so elegant and adorable in Alex's eyes. He smiled and immediately approached her.

"How are you?" greet Alex as she extends her hand.

"Okay, we'll just get to the point, sir. Sorry, I have another meeting with someone after this" Lidya replied without welcoming Alex's hand.

Alex swore in his heart. Then he smiled stiffly. "Who was the meeting with? Can you just cancel it, Miss Sephia? Because today you have to accompany me to one of the shooting locations, out of town."

Lidya seemed to be thinking. He did not answer Alex directly, but looked at his phone, pretending to set a schedule, when in fact he was sending a message to Sarah.

"Hows it? One more hour we have to leave, and that's a must, miss. As per the agreement we signed at that time." Alex urged a little and reminded Lidya.

"Wait a minute" said Lidya a little expensive selling. "How long are we going to that location?" tanyanya.

"Maybe two or three days," Alex replied as she blanched her lips.

"I only have two days, more than that, sorry, I have to go home alone" Sephia said as she stared into Alex's dark eyes, which were staring at her. There was a strange beating in Lidya's heart, but he dismissed it for fear of being carried away by his feelings for Alex. He has to stay firm and cool in front of Alex to win his heart.

"Okay, deal! Two days." Alex smiled with satisfaction. It was enough for him two days that he could use to get close to Sephia.

"Well, then I cancel the next meeting."

Alex nodded then looked at Kim who was still standing nearby, while Sarah sat not far from her place. "Go, accompany the girl" Alex said, winking one of his eyes.

"Which girl, sir?" ask Kim lugu.

"Your eyes are pointing there!" reprimanding Alex while pointing Sarah's whereabouts with his eyes. "You should still be this old, insensitive!" his gerrick. Kim grimaced as he scratched his non-itchy head.
