Zenaya's remorse

Chapter 49: Alex's Attitude.

Lately Zenaya has always felt strange and uncomfortable with Alex's attitude. They both work on different floors. However, there are things that make Zenaya have to cross paths with the man almost every time. Not to mention Alex's attitude that felt lost attention, as it is today.

"Let me bring it. You can't be too tired, Zen" Alex said as he picked up Zenaya's bag, and two dossier maps from the woman's hand without waiting for her approval.

Zenaya never turned down Alex's offer. The woman was already too tired to face Alex's stubbornness.

The hours of Zenaya's return to work did not escape Alex's observation. Especially when knowing Zenaya always leave and go home alone. Understandably, Reagen had to go out of town for a few days with his sister-in-law, Noah.

The man will try to drive Zenaya home, even if the practice hours are not yet finished.

"The distance from the hospital here is not too far away, I can come back in time."

That's the answer Alex always gives if Zenaya refuses on the grounds, the man will not get enough time to drive him home.

So uncomfortable and afraid of Zenaya with Alex's behavior, he once hid in Grace's room and waited for his friend until his working hours were finished.

"Thank you, Lex," said Zenaya stiffly, as they reached the front of the woman's room.

"Together, Zen. If you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me. I'll always be ready for you." Alex throws a friendly smile.

Zenaya forced herself to smile. "As long as I can still be alone, I won't trouble anyone else," she said subtly.

Alex flinched for a moment. "Don't consider me someone else, Zen. Remember, we're friends."

Zenaya could only be silent. It felt like he went in there immediately, but the bag was still in Alex's hands.

Looking at the direction of Zenaya's gaze, Alex regained his senses for a moment. "Ahh, this is your stuff." The man gave Zenaya's bag and file.

"Thank you again, Lex. I go in first" Zenaya said goodbye and rushed in..

Alex was silent in front of Zenaya's room for a little while. The man's face turned cold when Zenaya entered and closed the door of the room just like that, even though he was still there.

"Suck!" yell Alex before leaving the place.

Zenaya put the bag and the file on the table.

Shortly after, a knocking sound was heard.

Zenaya who was still standing in front of his desk was shocked when the door of the room suddenly opened. He thought Alex was brazenly getting in there.

"Why?" grace asked confusedly when she found Zenaya exhaling a sigh of relief while stroking her chest. The woman was seen carrying a plastic bag of food.

"I thought, Alex was," replied Zenaya.

"So I did cross paths with that man. I think he just visited the VVIP class or the President suite." Grace had Zenaya sit with her on the sofa. The woman opened the plastic.

A bowl of corn was presented in front of them. Yesterday Zenaya did ask to be made corn porridge by his beloved friend.

"Thank you" said Zenaya sumringah. His fear that had stopped seemed to just crash, when he saw the grits.

"Be careful, it's still hot" Grace warned the woman.

Zenaya nodded her head. Since entering the 16th pregnancy, the woman's breakfast habit has returned completely.

"Yes. I have rejected him many times, but he is like a parasite that always follows me everywhere" Zenaya lamented.

"You know, he even forced himself to bring my bag and two files, under the pretext that I wasn't too tired." Zenaya blew her corn pulp first before putting it in her mouth.

"Have you told this to Reagents?" ask Grace again.

Zenaya kontan. "Our relationship is fine. After all he's busy with work, and I can still handle it myself."

"Done what you mean? By hiding in my room for hours until my working hours are over." Grace looked at Zenaya with a mocking look.

Zenaya snorted cynically.

Seeing the look on her best friend's face, Grace gave a small laugh. "I hope Alex doesn't have bad intentions, Zen. It would be foolish for that man to try to take your heart, when obviously you carry this distended stomach everywhere." The woman gently stroked the distended stomach of her best friend.

Grace was very caring and affectionate towards the baby Zenaya. The woman had even bought several pairs of cute unisex baby clothes. Understandably, for one year the household of Grace and Vian has not been blessed with a child. They delayed it because Grace had to take a specialist education first.

"I was expecting the same thing. He's a good guy." Zenaya exhaled. Suddenly the feeling of longing for the husband tickled the niche of the woman's heart.

...***...

"Zen!" call Alex when Zenaya steps up to his newly ordered taxi.

The man rushed to Zenaya. "You want to go home?" ask the man.

"Yes, Lex. I'll go home first, okay? See you soon." Zenaya opened the taxi door and prepared to go in there.

Alex, however, takes over the door and apologizes to the taxi driver before closing the door.

"Lex!" pekik Zenaya's.

"It would be better if you came home with me. We're neighbors anyway, right?" said the man later.

"I can go home alone, Lex. Please," said Zenaya a little upset. The woman tried to control her emotions that began to overflow.

Alex put on a sad face. "You must be afraid of my attitude like this huh?" the man said suddenly.

"I know, maybe my attitude over the past few days is really annoying. However, all you have to know is, Zen, I have absolutely no evil intentions other than just wanting to be good friends with you."

"You're my first friend here. Your kindness at that time is still remembered." Alex bowed.

Zenaya. Alex's words touched his feelings. According to the information she got from Grace, the man was indeed not very familiar with anyone else. He was a good doctor, but not very good at getting along.

"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to keep my distance in order to appreciate the trust my husband, Lex, gave me. And vice versa."

Alex looks upset. Zenaya always mentions her husband when she is with him. "I promise this will be my last, so .. please, Zen,"

Not wanting to feel depressed about this situation, Zenaya finally decided to grant Alex's request. After all he felt it was futile to argue with that stubborn man.

"All right."

Hearing Zenaya's reply, Alex raised his head. "Then we go now,"
