The Late CEO

The Part 22

Two days later Alex, who had returned to health as before, came out of her room, walking to the room where Jaselyn was.

Alex slowly opened the door to the room and found Jaselyn sitting leaning on the bed.

Jaselyn who heard the door open looked at the door, and could not escape the eyes of Jaselyn and Alex to meet and look at each other.

"Ehem, how are you?" Alex asked trying to melt their awkwardness.

"It's better." Jaselyn said slowly.

Alex walked up to Jaselyn, his outstretched hand touching Jaselyn's forehead.

"Your heat has gone down." Said Alex.

Jaselyn was very surprised by Alex's treatment of her, she could not believe what Alex was doing earlier. Because Alex treated him so cruelly.

"A.what are you doing... Mister." Jaselyn said as she brushed Alex's hand off her forehead and tried to get away from Alex.

Alex, who gets rejected, stares at Jaselyn, but she does nothing to him. He tried to hold back his emotions at the moment, because he knew Jaselyn must still feel fear and hate for him after all he had done to the young woman.

Alex walked up to the window, and stood there. Staring at the spacious courtyard of the mansion from that window.

"I'm sorry for making you like this." Alex said, putting one hand in his pants pocket.

Jaselyn looked at Alex with surprise. Alex has always been rude to her, and she has also snatched the thing Jaselyn has been guarding the most all along, rudely.

But today Jaselyn heard Alex apologizing, and she thought it was just a joke Alex told her.

"You... Is Mr. Dominic Alexander. I hear you are a person who is very much feared by many people because of your greatness. And I am too.... Have felt your cruelty. But, what.... You said earlier sir?" Jaselyn said boldly.

"My behavior to you before, it's because I don't know if you..."

"You must have thought that I was my Papa's favorite son." Jaselyn's words cut through Alex's words.

Alex could only nod, he was truly sorry that he had made the young woman in front of him into an outlet of his anger towards the Stuart family, who were not actually the real father of Jaselyn.

Alex walked up to the bed and sat down next to Jaselyn.

"Do you know who they really are, and how you look at them?" Ask Alex.

Alex wants to know if the woman in front of him has found out or not, if she is only Stuart's adopted child who was taken from the orphanage before Stuart's wife became pregnant first. Exactly a few years after the Stuarts destroyed Alex's family.

"They are my family, in their eyes of course I am....."

Jaselyn fell silent, suddenly remembering what the Stuart family had done to her after Monica's birth.

"You don't know, do you? You don't have to think about it, just rest." Said Alex.

Alex stood up and walked out of the room, what Alex thought was right. If Jaselyn doesn't know who she really is in the Stuart family.

...----------------...

Meanwhile in the hotel room, Luci and Max are still asleep from exhaustion after a heated fight until the early hours of the morning.

Yes, after a few days ago they met, Luci and Max are still communicating with each other, even they also often do it like husband and wife, in the hotel.

"Young.."

"Are you awake, baby?" Max asked who had woken up due to Luci's body movements.

"Yes, I have to go home soon. I don't want the housewives to suspect me that I'm coming home in the afternoon."

"Please wait a minute, baby." Max said as he hugged Luci's body.

"Max, I'm tired, I want to go home and rest."

"Hmm well, I'll help you take a shower."

"No need, I can do it myself. You just have to transfer the money to me, I want to buy the necklace I saw yesterday at my gold shop."

"Yes I know, baby."

Luci then stood up slowly and walked towards the bathroom, while Max picked up his phone which was on the nightstand.

Max's eyes opened wide when he saw the latest news on his phone screen. He tried to read the news and ascertain the photos that were on the news he was reading.

"S*alan! Who took the photo and spread the word?" Max exclaimed in annoyance.

Not long after Luci came out of the bathroom in full clothes, Luci who saw Max looked grim, walked over.

"What's Max?" Luci asked while sitting next to Max.

"There was someone who made the news, and they also posted a photo on the news."

"Oh, just a news story."

"Heh, just a news story you said? Take a good look at Luci."

Max gives his phone to Luci, and Luci's eyes open after seeing a picture of him and Max entering the hotel on the news he read.

"Ba..how can it be? Doesn't anyone know about us?"

"I don't know either, but it looks like it was made by a rival of your husband's company. Because I haven't had any enemies."

"Robert Rival? As far as I know for now he has no rivals."

"really? Try to remember again."

"Not really ad....Wait, lest this is the son of Dominic's family. A few days ago we met her at William's daughter's engagement party, she must have hated us so much."

"The son of Dominic's family? You mean Dominic Alexander the owner of the D corporation. A group that's been famous lately?"

"True, there it is."

"Huh, I've guessed he will definitely avenge you. Maybe what happened to your husband's company was also because of him."

"That's impossible. He was just a kid yesterday afternoon who didn't know anything."

"But the proof, he was able to make his company in the 2nd position in just a short time."

Luci is silent, he himself does not know what to do to Alex if this is what he did. Because if he told Robert, Robert would be very angry with him, would even beat him to death.
