ITALY, LexBlack Headquarters Building
"Pierro our new weapon stuff has it come, have you checked it out in as much detail as possible? I don't want you to be so negligent?" said Alexander when they were in a special room in LexBlack's basecamp building.
"Already sir, I've checked everything. And everything is complete, safe. No one followed or anything strange at the time of delivery. Complete and original goods. Civilians are not aware of illegal weapons entering through the port" Pierro replied.
"good. Make sure everything is always neat and safe, we must always maintain a relationship with the police here to stay smooth with our business. I've seen your report from Samuel everything's good. But stay alert, do not fall asleep. There are still enemies of mine who want to destroy this business, everyone remains vigilant", Alexander said seriously and coldly.
"Every Master!", answered Pierro and Samuel in unison.
"Samuel, when will the Japanese come?",
"Half an hour, sir, Kaze, her secretary told me in the message. They're on their way", though",
Alexander did not answer just say yes with a nod, then poured wine into his wine glass. While waiting for the arrival of the Japanese, Alex's mind melanglangbuana far think back about the words of the father.
'Before Papah dies, I want to see you marry Alex. You're 27, you're ripe for marriage. Papah wants to have a daughter-in-law first..'
The words that his father had spoken last time ringed back in Alex's ear like a cassette that was being tuned many times, making Alex's brain think hard on this word. It's not that Alex is dizzy because he does not want to realize his father's request, it's just 'with whom should he have a marriage?'. The wounds that still exist are not completely dry, for now Alex is still hesitant to connect with other women. Until the shadow of his new secretary is seen in the shadow of his brain, Sersi.
'Did I ask her to marry me only by agreement, a contract marriage would not seem to hurt her rather than having to pretend. Is that a good idea, huh?' alexander's inner monologue asked himself.
'What will papah be happy with, but what if papah finds out later? I'm not sure if that woman wants me to contract marriage? Arrgh, this made my head hurt', inner Alexander voiced again while channeling the effect of the grim expression of durja to the face of Alexander who was drinking his wine.
When Alexander was busy with his own thoughts, came the Japanese entourage. Kaze, an accomplice of Jirosama, greeted Samuel first before going to Alexander.
"Konbanwa Samyueru-san, messenger o okutta bakari no kazedesu. Anata to dai kunshu o eye sete kureta watashi to Jiro-san o yurushitekudasai", Kaze told Samuel with a Japanese accent.
"Hi, daijobudesu, haitte kudasai. Arekusanda-shi wa sudeni naka o matteimasu", replied Samuel with a Japanese accent as well.
"It turns out that you are good at speaking yes, Alexander's belief is always superior in everything!", Jirosama said when he heard the answer from Samuel.
"Thank you Mr. Jirosama, I'm just keeping up. Please sir, Mr. Alexander is already waiting for you inside!", invite Samuel politely lowered his head for a while and walked towards the room where Alexander was followed by the entourage of Jirosama Hirata.
After they managed to get into the LexBlack underground headquarters building, there was a luxurious door painted in deep black with a black panther emblem there. Namely Alexander's room that he used to use to establish business with colleagues and other mafia leaders.
"Mr Alex, this is Mr. Jirosama Hirata who wants to meet you. He's from Japan" Samuel told his sitting boss.
"Yes, please sit down Jirosama. Drink first so that your body is warm, the distance from Japan to Italy is very far. Your body must have been cold for a long time on the plane" Alex told Jirosama when he managed to sit there. And kaze with Samuel, in the other chair but still one room.
"Ah, you could be Alex. But your offer is fine too!", replied Jirosama then poured wine into his glass.
"What can I do to help Jirosama? Until you can come to Italy just to see me?", asked Alex later.
"I came here to buy the latest ammunition and weapons you have, I need a lot of weapons because I'm going to have a war with another clan",
"the war? Whether your clan is hostile, usually in one clan joined several organizations that take shelter. Let me guess, one of the organizations under your clan is someone traitor?", asked Alexander trying to guess the reason why Jirosama who he had known for a long time. Jirosama was a friend during his college days in Germany.
"Yes you're right Alex, one of the clans under my auspices is on the side of the enemy. He betrayed me, threatened my family members, and tried to follow them. That's why I'm here to ask for your help" Jirosama explained and said he currently needed additional troops and reinforcements.
"Hmm, do you want me to intervene too? What are you going to do in the war, do you have a genius strategy to defeat the opposing camp?", asked Alexander with a cold and cruel look.
"It's up to you Alex, I won't force you. Given that you are always behind the scenes, I only need a few extra troops and a lot of ammunition and weapons that I will use later in the war against the black axe clan. I want to make calculations on them!!", replied Jirosama firmly.
"Hmm it looks like this time I'm going to intervene, I haven't exercised in a long time. Your battle is the perfect time to hone my skills."
"Yes Alex, I'm very happy that you're willing to take part in the war between my clans. It's time for you to come to the surface and prove that the 'Black Panther' chairman is so ruthless, cruel, merciless. So that you will be respected by many people. Your dorm will get stronger" Jirosama said.
"Yes but for now it's not time, I will go to war but still wear my old costume. Then, what about our business agreement that you sent in an e-mail last time?", asked Alexander without being stale with the loud one.
"Yes after this I want to establish business cooperation with you, after my war is over. I am willing to distribute your goods in my country in the future, and I want to ask for a good long barrel weapon for all my men" Jirosama explained.
"Okay, may doing business with you be profitable. I don't like two-faced people, lest you let me down, Jirosama. You will know for yourself the consequences that you can have if you deviate from my rules in the future!", Alexander said as he drank his wine slowly.
"Yes, I know. I want weapons delivered tomorrow Alex, because in 5 days I'm going to war. I need a lot of weapons, and more troops as soon as possible. And the matter of the assault strategy, I will tell you later after the time comes. Because I'm still spying on their movements" too",
"Yes okay, Pierro will take care of it tomorrow for you. And an army of people, maybe I'll give you 400 men. Because they are divided in their own work", each",
"Thank you Alex, that's a lot. Your help is precious to me, my friend, then I will return to Hokkaido. Thank you for taking your time",
"No problemo Jirosama. friends must help each other!", he said with a slanted smile.

Hustle and bustle of people who are waiting in line for food in the office cafeteria makes the atmosphere noisy. Sersi who also ate at the office cafeteria during the break, had to wait in line also to get a turn to order food.
The day is quite hot, and the jugs plus here most of the room is AC. Making him feel very thirsty and want to drink fresh drinks, so Sersi also intends to order spicy spaghetti and iced orange cold seems suitable for his lunch menu this time.
Before long she brought her food on the tray, and took it to an empty dining table. Sersi also began to eat his food greedily, it is undeniable that he felt very hungry. Because this morning he had a bad luck and missed his breakfast, making him feel very hungry now.
While eating his food, his phone rang. She thought it was a phone call turned out to be just a LINE message from her brother Adryan.
[Yes brother. I'm sorry I was so busy early on moving here because I was looking for work and other things. Brother take it easy, I'm fine here. I have not forgotten my brother!]
[Oh yes, are you working now? Thank goodness you're okay.]
[Yes, I work. I work in an AR Group office, and I'm the secretary of the CEO of AR Group. The CEO is also the owner of the AR Group company as well.]
[It's good that you're so lucky. I've already done it, yes, I heard footsteps in the direction of my sister's room. Looks like mommy, next time big brother will send you a message again]
Sersi did not reply to any more messages from her brother Adryan. Because she was a little less in the mood when she heard the word 'mother'. So he continued his activity to eat back his food and save his phone.
Sersi was busy with the documents he was working on now on his desk, this was seen by Alexander from a distance. Alexander saw it and how beautiful Sersi was if he was noticed in this detail. Face like a Korean Asian woman, skin as white as milk, and a sexy body was not denied Alex was starting to be interested in the presence of Sersi.
But Alex is still afraid to open his heart, because he still does not know in the future he will be able to do not be in a relationship again. But when he remembered his father's words, Alexander's faith began to falter. Until it is cleared will invite Sersi to marry but only as a contract marriage that there must be a treaty above black and white.
'Do I have to do the play?", Alex monologues.
"Ekhem.. Sersi, are you so busy with your work?", asked the CEO of his desk.
Suddenly the question posed by Alex made Sersi somewhat silent, because the boss tumben asked him. Usually only as necessary, it is only about work. There is a wind what he thinks .
"Eh. um yes sir. The documents I am working on concern cooperation with some relations and financial statements. Also a chart showing the stock price for the next 3 years", he answered honestly because that is exactly what he is working on now.
"Okay, get on with your work" said Alex at last.
He paused his intention to ask everything about Sersi, this was too soon. With the intention of Alexander will ask about the marriage contract, to Sersi he paused.
'I'm crazy maybe. Where may I be with him, ah already', inner Alexander upset himself.
"Yes sir", replied Sersi.
'weirdo, what's wrong with my boss? Like a person who is in chaos, Sersi's inner voice guesses.
***
Six months have passed, Sersi worked here as a personal assistant secretary to the CEO of AR Group. Sersi is quite satisfied with working here, he gets a salary that he thinks is big. Instantly he was happy if it had entered the end of the month, because at that time he was salary and was happy to wait for a notification message of money into his bank account.
The salary Sersi received for six months working as a secretary in the AR Group was enough for him to survive in this country of London itself, also there is still left for him to use the streets and save. During these six months, Sersi has been able to buy new leptops, and new hp. Yes not without reason, because he is also a writer on one of the platforms allows him to have better facilities to make his work better.
"Seri, have you finished the document yesterday?", Samuel approached Sersi who was seriously looking into his computer.
"Oh yes sir, this is. I have finished and I have read the whole thing, I think the price of the land is too expensive. Far from the market price, and the profit share is less commensurate" said Sersi told the document he worked on yesterday.
"Alright, indeed you are always detailed in running something.",
"Thank you Mr. Samuel, I just want to increase the turnover of the company" he replied smiling kindly.
Samuel nodded and left, and Sersi returned to his room. Same room as Alex. Over the course of six months, Alex feels something strange inside him. He always wanted to keep seeing Sersi his secretary every day, buy her food, and felt angry if Sersi interacted with other men if he found out Sersi was chatting with other employees.
From day to day, it feels like he is getting more comfortable with the presence of a Sersi in his life. Although he is not sure this is a taste of like or just accustomed to the existence of Sersi.
Alex has been thinking about his idea for six months, he keeps putting off procrastination. But he is restless too, because day by day his father's condition is getting weaker and Alex is afraid that his father will...
'I don't get any other way? I can't look for another woman and frivolously marry only the woman. Maybe Sersi will understand, marriage contract may not be bad', his inner voice reassures himself.
And when Alex was busy with his thoughts, suddenly the door opened and it turned out Sersi had returned to his room. So with a strong determination to realize his father's last wish, he will do this. Alex there's no other way, maybe Sersi's the woman he's suited to introduce to his father. Given these two months he knew enough of Sersi's behavior and personality. The woman is a good woman, just a little tomboy thought if outside the office.
Maybe later Alex, will trace about the origin of Sersi and anyone Sersi's biological family after the marriage contract was implemented. For her father's sake, she wanted her father to be happy. He did not want to disappoint again as he had done to his mother even though his mother did not know, but still he broke his promise.
"Seri, come here for a second! There's something I want to talk to you about!", Alex said as he watched Sersi enter the room.
Sersi who had just closed the door turned his head, and nodded. Then he approached Alexander, and stood in front of Alex right in front of his desk. Alexander saw it, then told him to sit down.
"Sit down, I want to have a serious talk with you. It's not a matter of work, sit down!", Alex told Sersi.
Sersi smiled, bowed respectfully, then sat down on the chair in front of Alexander's desk. Now they are facing, and honestly make Sersi dag dig heart not because he was nervous and groggy.
'wah crazy crazy.. Mr. Alex is so handsome up close, ' Sersi screamed a scream at the good looks of his boss who is like a Greek God.
"Hmm, I'd like to offer you cooperation. I will give you whatever you ask if you accept this cooperation. Maybe this is the thing that makes you a little surprised, but I really need your help for now.", Alex paused his words, making Sersi who heard him curious to ask questions.
"If you may know, what kind of cooperation are you, sir?!", asked plainly Sersi.
"The collaboration is pretty easy. And it's easy for you to do, let's just say we use each other. You got my money, and I got your help. I want you to make a show of being my lover in front of my papah, act as if we were lovers. Then I'll marry you, but not in the sense of being married. I just want us to get married contractually, make a black-and-white agreement. I won't do anything to you, I just want to get husband and wife status and I won't forbid you I'll give you freedom within reasonable limits. After 1 year, the marriage is over", Alex said straightforwardly to Sersi with a serious look, and his flat face.
Sersi who heard it could only remain silent, dumbfounded by the words of his boss who said that. Until the brain he can not digest words - said Alex so surprised he got a call for this unreasonable cooperation.
"Well...!?" His eyes were shocked.
'Is this guy crazy?' inner voice.
