The Charm of the Penoda
Meet Lasio
Meet Lasio
Leksi did not answer but just left, after storing the spoon and fork on a plate that was still full. He only ate three spoons at breakfast that morning.
He immediately boarded his old car and drove on the streets at full speed. Some people will not believe that the old car with dull paint, can run as fast as a sports car today. He left without thinking about how his parents were feeling, who was fighting because of him.
Lusi and Lextra argue Leksi's character is not in accordance with their expectations, the two parents blame each other, because each has a hand in making a rough war.
Lexsi doesn't want to be blamed for everyone else. The feeling of being ridiculed as a child makes him learn not to treat others the same way. Therefore he is better to avoid problems, where he will be frowned upon about decisions or personality.
Arriving at the office he was doing the usual thing, all the employees who saw him including Leo, gasped at the change of Lexsi, their boss. He was a man who yesterday was still a long-haired, bearded and had a thick mustache. However, now he is like a handsome equestrian prince in the fairy tale of the king's daughter, which is charming.
“Is there anything strange? They're like they've seen me for the first time!” lexsi said as he passed through an open room and the employees simultaneously stopped their activities.
“Are you unconscious, Sir? Your appearance changed!”
“Custom only! Set up my meeting with Lasio, it'll be noon. Find out where she's going to have lunch today?” Lexsi shifted the topic of her conversation.
Lexsi's request suddenly surprised Leo, because this is an unusual task. During this time their company was never involved, with the affairs of Lasio and also his foundation.
However, because Leo is still a convicted employee who can not do anything, inevitably he obeyed his leadership, and immediately contacted someone who could roughly help get the information.
After a few hours, Leo gets the information Leksi wants. As soon as he told her where Lasio was having lunch, Leksi just went to the place where he was going.
Leksi drove his car at a high speed as usual. Even a fairly long journey can be passed quickly. Lexsi finally managed to arrive first in a classic restaurant, with a very thick oriental style.
He chose to sit by the door so that he could clearly see anyone who came to the place.
From the food menu and also a place that seems special, showing that only certain people who come to enjoy the food.
During the wait, Lexsi ordered a bitter cup of coffee, and enjoyed it with a slight fidget, while looking at the door and his phone in turn.
“Well! That's it!” she said as soon as Lasio showed up with an assistant and a woman who looked older than him.
Leksi got up from his seat and walked over to Lasio politely and calmly.
“Halo! Are You Really Mr Lasio?” lexsi asked after being right in front of Lasio without preventing the trip of the small group.
Lasio looked at Leksi from head to toe.
“Include, my name is Leksi Huamish!” lexsi said as she extended her hand. Lasio received warmly, he had heard the name Humaish, as the name of one of the city's esteemed and distinguished families.
“Yes. Right, I'm Lasio.”
“It's nice to meet you!” lexsi.
“Sure, I also. All this time I only knew your family's last name. Oh yes, introduce also, this is my personal assistant and secretary!” lasio said pointing to the two men and women behind him.
They shook hands and agreed to have lunch together at a table.
Lexsi began a serious conversation, after they finished enjoying lunch.
“I want to ask you one very personal thing,” he said.
“What problems, Mr Lex?”
“A woman named Lela.”
Hearing Lexsi's words, Lasio turned to his right and left, asking his two female assistants and secretaries to stay away. The two men also left the private room lexsi rented.
“What do you know about Lela?” lasio asked curiously, because he made transactions with complete secrecy, even sending a different driver, while visiting the nightclub and taking Lela home.
However, Lexsi can now figure it out until she does, so be alert if Lexsi finds out more about her transaction. In any case, his good name should remain on guard.
Lasio was investigating Lela further on, as she was able to be at the club that night. He could not ask her directly, because it was bound by agreement. One of the points mentioned that, they are made to take care of their personal affairs. Of course that limited her movements, but, it didn't matter as long as Lela was willing to be Lilian for her mother's sake.
“Actually, Lela is my lover!” lexsi said firmly, making Lasio speechless while sighing deeply.
“What is the proof that he is your lover, Mr Lex? How can he be in a nightclub and be sold while he has a lover like you?” lasio's remarks show his hard opinion that, he wondered why Lexsi suddenly came and confessed to Lela's lover.
In his heart, Lasio has begun to be interested in the girl he considered so patient and good in caring for his mother. As Lasio knows, Lela no longer has a mother, therefore she can play a very good role as Lilian, and considers Lina as a friend.
“It was because of someone's fault and when I looked for him, he already you brought. All this time I was away from both my parents, until I didn't know he had a problem!”
“You do long distance relationship?”
“Can be said like that.”
“What do you want, Mr Lex? Frankly I need it most.”
“Do you pay or use it just because you already bought it?”
“I paid him a very decent salary. I appreciate it! I don't know what I should do if he's not around.”
“Good then!”
“What's the problem, if I may know?”
Lexsi briefly recounted how Lela got caught in the whirlpool of people trafficking her uncle had done. He did not cover it up in the slightest, saying that his relationship was already very close to Lela. He even wants to marry her as soon as possible.
Hearing the story from Lexsi, Lasio was stunned, suddenly there was a pain in the corner of his heart. He is unwilling to let go of Lela, the simple girl who secretly stole his attention.
“Sorry, Mr. Lexs. It seems I can't continue this conversation, because I still have to work, next time maybe we can talk again about Lela. Take it easy, I will make sure that he is happy together with my family.”
Lasio's remarks made Lexi think harder about his meaning which sounded very ambiguous. However, until Lasio stayed away, he could not get the man away.
