THE COLDEST SNOW'S

ANNIVERSARY

Michael and Millie enter a cafe that is right in front of the Thomas Company. Michael deliberately chose the place so that Neo could easily pick him up because he would have a meeting outside the company after lunch.

They were sitting next to each other and right by the door because it was in the cafe looking so crowded. A waiter gave Millie a menu book and was enthusiastic about seeing and choosing, while Michael scanned the surroundings in the cafe.

His eyes were rounded when he saw Alexa sitting on the edge and alone. Their eyes accidentally rubbed. Looking at Alexa, making his heart beat again, unlike Millie now, he did not feel anything.

A flash of thought about how Alexa entered James' residence, made Michael turn his face. He does not want to deal with women who lower his self-esteem, especially his body in other men. For Michael, Millie looks better because she was married before, although eventually divorced.

Alexa sees it that way, doesn't really care. He did not want to be hurt again because of love. He believes happiness will come on its own later.

He finished his lunch and paid for it at the table, after calling a servant. He stood up and walked out. He must pass the table occupied by Michael and Millie.

Michael was hoping Alexa would call him. Isn't Millie just so fascinated by her appearance now? Alexa should be like that too. James is nothing compared to his current self.

However, a different reaction was shown by Alexa. He just kept quiet and walked past Michael just like that, not even turning his head or stealing a glance. Michael's heart ached to see it.

He expects Alexa to look at him and see how he changes. But even he continued to look at Alexa until the woman disappeared behind a glass door that connects with the outside area.

"Mic, I've ordered food and drinks for both of us. Mic .... Mic ... Mic!" said Millie who finally got longer calling Michael rather loudly because the man next to him did not listen to what he said.

"Ah yes. I'm sorry" Michael really can't help but care. His heart and mind are not in the cafe at the moment. If only he was not with Millie, maybe he would immediately move and pursue Alexa. However, he also did not know what he would say to the woman when they faced each other later.

Alexa returned to Williams' home. The plan to go to the company was canceled. He asked Axton for help to bring the files he needed to sign.

"Darling, Aunty Amel wants to see you. He misses you" said Mom Mia who was arranging dinner at the dinner table.

"I'll see Aunty tomorrow, Mom. I also need to get back to London. There's something I need to get done" Alexa said.

"Later on, Snow. You got an invitation from Evans Company. They're celebrating their CEO's birthday."

"Do I have to go, Dad? Wouldn't it be better if I didn't go there."

"Show them that you're okay. Remember that! You're a Williams and you shouldn't be intimidated by anything" Dad Azka said.

"I'm not going to be like that, Dad. It's just that the Alpenze needs me right now" Alexa said.

"James and Claudia can handle it. If necessary, Dad will send Zero there."

"Didn't they invite Dad and Axton's sister?" ask Alexa.

"Hmm, but Dad has promised to take Mommy on vacation, while Brave (dad Azka's call to Axton) is going to Auckland."

"So I mean, Dad, I'm going to go alone to the show?"

"Of course not. Dad will ask Zero to accompany you" said Dad Azka with a faint smile.

"Well," Alexa saved the invitation, without opening it. After Axton returned from the company, they had dinner together. Of course Alexa was again teased by Axton because his sister was going to meet her ex-lover

*****

Having been with Darren for 6 years, he has celebrated the man's birthday 6 times. Even Alexa always gives her amazing gifts. But this time, he did not know what to give the gift.

Williams's residence feels lonely. Dad Azka and Mom Mia had left for a vacation a few days ago and Axton had left for America yesterday afternoon. Alexa sat alone on the sofa in her room. He waited for Zero to come to pick him up.

tokk .. tokkk ...

"Non, Mr. Zero has arrived" said the maid.

"I'll be right down, wait a minute."

Alexa looked at her look in the mirror once again, then picked up a bag that was in matching color to the dress she was wearing.

Alexa came out of the bedroom and down the stairs. Zero stared at him unblinkingly, due to Alexa's always graceful appearance.

"Don't look at me like that, brother. Look you're also very handsome," Alexa fixed the Zero's tie slightly, making the man smile.

"Who wouldn't be fascinated to see you, hmm ....?"

"And who wouldn't be fascinated to see you?" reply Alexa.

"Of course there is. He even threatened me not to like him. Fortunately, my faith is strong, even though I always have to be around him" Zero said with a laugh and that made Alexa laugh as well.

They walked out together, "Calm down, brother. I'm sure there will be a good woman waiting for her white equestrian prince to come."

"Hmmm ... is already good at teasing yes," Zero smiled. Almost he will scramble Alexa's hair, but undone because it will certainly mess with the appearance of Alexa is already very beautiful.

"Sister, I haven't prepared a present for him yet" Alexa said as they were in the car.

"The company has prepared it."

"Oh yeah? What's?"

"The letter of ownership of the apartment you bought with him together," Zero replied.

Alexa smile. He didn't think about it. This will be a fun event for Alexa. He wanted to see Darren's face when he received it.

"Who thought of this gift?" ask Alexa.

"Of course someone who always knows your movements."

"God ... Dad," Alexa doesn't have anyone else to guess.

They arrived in front of a hotel where the event was held. By holding Zero's arm, the two of them looked incompatible, making the people who saw them become envious.

"Happy birthday" said Alexa as she stood in front of Darren and Sisca, whose stomach had begun to bulge.

"I ..."
