The Enchantment of the Secretary

Chapter 21 (Receiving a Contract Marriage Offer)

Will everything be able to go according to his will?

I don't know, he was just hoping to fulfill his father's last wish. And not hurting the other party, honestly his heart now began to waver between still hoping for Ellea or starting to love her secretary. Honestly, he also began to have an unusual taste for Sersi.

Alex had reached his mansion when it was late at night, he got out of his car lethargicly walking into the house without caring about anything else. Samuel he just stayed, Alex needs something that can calm his mind.

When passing through the television room, there is Sofia who has been sitting there with various snacks that she put on the table to accompany her to watch the Korean drama which is half an hour away.

Sofia when she saw her brother coming, then shouldered her but did not move even a little from his place. Just calling her brother from the tv room.

"Sister Alex..!" Call Sofia to her sister while eating the cassava chips she was holding.

Alex just turned his head and did not care about his sister's call, Alex was too lazy to talk to his chatty sister. He just needed the calmness of the moment, he was going to go to the room alone. He is not in the mood now. Not drinking, eating or anything else.

"Isssh, he's the reason. Alex's brother is weird, rich, heartbroken. Boyfriend also does not have, use galauan event." Gerrutu Sofia to her sister.

Though Sofia's intention is to call her sister, Sofia wants to ask where Sersi lives. She wants to come visit and learn many things, because Sofia feels that they are very suitable and can make friends very familiar considering her age and Sersi's age is not far adrift. Only 1 year different.

Alex stepped wide into his room, when he got to his room he then closed the door and locked it from the inside. Alex headed straight for her bathroom, at this moment she felt tired and sticky. Alex intends to just soak in warm water tonight, so that his mind and body relax a little.

Alex undid his entire shirt and turned on the cold tap water and hot tap water simultaneously, until the bathtobe was full and Alex went into the bathtobe after the water was full and had been mixed with soap and aromatherapy.

A sense of warmth began to run throughout his body, Alex felt comfortable with this calmness and silence. His mind began to relax, not as restless as before. To make Alex closed so comfortable so this atmosphere. But the time was interrupted by a ringing phone that sounded from his phone.

Alex frowns, thinking about who called him at this hour. But Alex also budged from his comfortable position, and took the phone that was in his pants pocket.

Alex sees the caller id and the foreign number listed. But Alex still lifted it to meet his curiosity.

"Hallo, good night sir!" a female voice was heard from across the street.

"Hmm, who?" replied Alex cuek flat lazyly responding.

"Sa. I'm Sersi Tuan. Sorry to interrupt your break. Um sa. I want mi..".

"Sersion? Do you know where my number is?" Alex's forehead shriveled to see the number on his phone screen. His secretary called first, what's up? And know where he's from?

"Ehmm. a. anu Tuan. Ma. I'm sorry my master called you. I asked for your number from Samuel. I want to talk again about the offer of the master at that time." said Sersi a little shrewdly from across there.

"Well, we'll meet at Starlight at 9. I'm waiting for you there" Alex replied at last, a bit surprised indeed arrived - Sersi will talk about his invitation at that time which means about the contract marriage offer.

"Yes, sir, thank you". The phone click was disconnected.

Alex also ended the show soaking, and rushed to go shower under the shower cleaning his body with soap aroma cinnamon cool throughout his body. Alex hopes that the secretary makes the atmosphere better tonight, his brain is mumet thinking about his father's request and the father's health condition that can not be predicted to heal again.

"Well, we'll meet at Starlight at 9. I'm waiting for you there" replied Mr. Alex from across the street.

"Yes sir, thank you!". Click on the phone connection was disconnected, the call was disconnected by Alex first.

After the phone call was cut off, Sersi sat down on the floor of his apartment crying bitterly at the thought of his brother who now lies severely at the IGD hospital in Sicily. Sersi was surprised when he heard this news from Cindy, his brother took a very large fee to undergo her brother's surgery.

As soon as Sersi's world was destroyed, only yesterday did he make a phone call with his brother Adryan. Sersi did not expect, that now his brother is experiencing a bad condition. Sersi wants to help her brother, but the cost to be spent is not small. He was confused by this problem, the amount of his savings balance was not enough if used all. Until Sersi was forced to accept his boss's offer last time, to perform a contract marriage in order to be able to finance his brother until completion.

Sersi spilled her grief by crying out in her own room, while lamenting her brother's condition. He does not want to lose his only family in this world, actually Sersi was sad to hear the news that his parents died at home because they did not have time to save themselves from the fire. Still, even though he was treated badly by his parents. But Sersi still expects them to change as they used to.

But Sersi was grateful that his brother could be saved by his neighbors from the tragedy of the fire. Now the sweet and bitter memories of the house are extinct, broken to pieces burned by fire. His world was devastated, Sersi felt that there was no longer a place to go to for him in Sicily. The only family is Adryan. Sersi did not want to until his brother was late to get help.

An hour passed, Sersi's cries began to subside stopped as he pleased because his tears began to run out and dry due to crying for too long. Her eyes were swollen and red from her blushing cries. Sersi recalled that he asked his master to meet, and when he saw the time already showed at half-nine p.m.

As Sersi got up and walked towards the bathroom, he would take a cold shower tonight hoping it would help calm his mind and disguise his swollen eyes.

_______

Starlight Bar..

The frenetic music sounded very deafening, and the smell of cigarettes smelled where. That was what Sersi felt the first time he entered this bar.

His ears were slightly ringing, hearing the loud thumping of music all over the room. And glitter flickering colorful lights that dazzle the eyes. Sersi was uncomfortable, being here. He had only this time entered the entertainment of an evening like this.

Sersi continued to walk past people who jogged ria following the tone of the music. Sersi looked for the place that her master said in the chat earlier before she walked into this bar, she walked towards the private room that was at the end. Right in the back hallway.

Sersi opened the black door hesitantly, his hand floating in the air. But Sersi solidified his heart.

'For Adryan's sake, he promised not to touch me anyway?' inner Sersi encouraged herself that she was doing this not to humble herself but for the sake of her brother's recovery she had to do this.

Finally his hand touched the door knob and opened it slowly, the man was sitting on a long sofa smoking a cigarette in his hand.

The man turned to him, making Sersi feel fear and doubt began to lash out at him. She felt inferior but she again reminded herself, that her brother was now in need of a fee.

"Why are you standing at the door, come on in!" alex told him.

Sersi was a little jolted, he finally obeyed the words of his boss into the room and closed the door. It looks all black in here, the lights are dim and a long sofa that is circular as well as several bottles of drinks that are lined up on the table.

Sersi thinks that the man is drunk, will he really understand Sersi's words later. Sersi continued to walk closer to the man who was none other than his boss, Sersi sitting right next to Alex with a distance away.

"You said you'd talk about something, talk!" alexander then spent a glass of wine in one gulp.

Sersi began to feel his body cold hot, unable to do all this. Uncomfortable with a place known for promiscuity, and feeling inferior for eating his own talk. But, she was forced for the sake of her brother Sersi to do this. The only fastest way to get money for the treatment of her critical brother.

"Why are you quiet?" alex's voice again, now his voice began to change somewhat like the influence of alcohol began to enter his body.

"Ehm.. My master changed his mind about the contract marriage offer that master offered that time. Can I still e..?" Said Sersi stammered - confused brick to say what. He can accept it or not.

"Hmm, you really accepted the cooperation I offered you back then. What made you change?" Alexander asked the reason why the woman had changed her mind.

Because he remembered the last time, the woman was angry and rejected the offer. This is completely unexpected Alex, but this makes Alex's mind a little relieved if the woman accepts the agreement then one of the burdens of his mind is finished.

"My master needs a fee for my sister in Sicily, she was seriously injured all over her body in the fire of our house. If I accept the contract marriage offer, may I ask for money in advance for my brother's fee. My brother must be operated on as soon as possible sir." said Sersi sadly, expecting that this man could fulfill his request and still have a conscience.

'the fire? His family was hit?' alex asked in silence.

"Hmm okay, how much do you need for your sister's surgery?" alex asked as he sipped back on the wine that smelled the wine.

"About 200millions with the cost of hospitalization Mr, for the next month Mr" said Sersi then lowered his head.

"OK I'll transfer now to your account, tomorrow I'll introduce you directly to my father. And we're getting married in a week." Alex said.

"But you need to remember, you have to be able to play like nothing happened. And show that we're real lovers, don't look a little doubt".

"Okay, sir, I'm trying to do that". Sersi finally answered.

"Where's your account number I'm sending you now" said Alex, half-drunk, but still able to balance himself.

"It's Master!"! Sersi handed over his phone and displayed a series of numbers for his bank account.

"Thank you sir before" said Sersi willingly because accepted to work here and allow asking for large amounts of money to treat his brother.

A glimmer of hope began to appear.

"Hmmm, I've transferred to your account, tomorrow don't forget. Wear polite clothes" Alex told his secretary.

Along with the mbanking account that appeared on Sersi's phone, informed him that there was money coming into his account and Sersi checked it.

It turns out that 300 million were already sent by Alex.

"This master mostly I only need 200 million aja" replied Sersi felt bad with this annoying man.

"It's okay, I intentionally exaggerate if there is a sudden need you have savings" Alex told Sersi.

"Oh yes tomorrow Samuel will give us our covenant letter for a contract marriage

next year okay. Prepare yourself" said Alex and then lit the cigarette again.

"I. Yes Sir!" Sersi finally answered.

Sersi is now resigned to his condition now, it's okay for him to sacrifice for his brother at this time. Only Adryan is the only family now, Sersi is not to the heart if not to strive for all this. Sersi was ready to accept all the risks and consequences of this action. He just needs to run this all like running water, according to the path and current that God has given him.
