Roxanne just finished breakfast with her family, minus Victor, of course. Very busy brother, she thought. That's only natural. Because, her father had given all his trust in Victor. Her father knew that Victor had leadership qualities and a sense of responsibility that was reliable.
Roxanne fiddles with her cellphone. then, she opened the chat application and opened her group chat with her friends.
Roxanne: Is everyone ready?
Penny: DONE!
Theresa: I AM!
Keesha: Just the last touch and I'm ready!
Roxanne: Okay, I'll go to Penny's house first and pick you up, wait for me.
Keesha: I'll wait, anne.
Theresa: sure.
Without looking at the cellphone again, Roxanne went straight to her car garage and drove the BMW X7 that her father used to travel with. It's impossible for Roxanne to bring her Austin martin car when three of her friends don't want to drive their own car. Plus, she needed enough luggage space for their grocery shopping later. Roxanne is willing to bet, her friends will surely enter some boutiques and come out with some paper bags in their hands.
Roxanne immediately drove her car towards the houses of Penny, Theresa, and Keesha one by one. Today, they plan to go to a mall - upon Penny's invitation.
When they arrived at the mall, all Roxanne's allegations were true. Roxanne was tired after hours of their entering one boutique to another. It was noon. Roxanne herself was feeling hungry.
"Hey, let's eat first," Roxanne said later.
"Ah, good idea, my stomach is empty too," Theresa chimed in.
Finally, they found a Japanese restaurant. They chose to enter a private room and immediately sat down and ordered food.
"Oh yes. Anne, I am curious about one thing with you," Keesha said.
"Hm?" Roxanne doesn't understand.
"The last time we met at the club, you looked familiar with that guy, who knows what his name was because he didn't mention his name." this time Theresa spoke. Penny just cleared her throat. She did not know what to say when Roxanne herself had never told her anything. Penny might ask Roxanne. However, she knows if Roxanne doesn't want to tell.
Roxanne sighed. In the end, Roxanne did have to tell her friends. "All right, hm, I don't know where to tell," she said.
"It seems to be an interesting story," said Keesha, smiling mischievously.
Roxanne told her friends from the beginning of her meeting with Felix at her café to their last meeting. She did not miss anything. She could not cover it anymore. She really needs someone to ask for her opinion. Meanwhile her friends look beaming and laughing as Roxanne tells the 'kiss' part.
"Done. We haven't met again. Usually, he will contact me." Roxanne said later.
Before her friends asked again, the door to their room opened and it appeared that the waiter was carrying a tray containing their food.
"I'm hungry. Let's just eat, okay?" Roxanne tries to change the subject when Theresa's mouth is open to ask Roxanne more questions.
"All right. You owe us a story. Actually, I'm still curious. But, I'm holding on." Said Keesha later.

After eating, they try to sit relaxed until their food is properly processed in digestion.
"All right, what are your questions?" Roxanne asked later.
Keesha, Theresa, and Penny leaned forward, their bodies seemed to think.
"Ah, are you planning to accept the proposal later?" Theresa asked.
"Do you love him?" Asked Keesha.
Roxanne doesn't believe this. her friends even asked about things she hadn't even thought of. She looked at Penny waiting for Penny's question. However, penny just grinned and raised her hands in the air.
Roxanne looks silent for a moment. She was thinking about the answer.
Do i love him?
Ah, I do not know. All I know is that I'm comfortable with him. There is something that keeps him curious and wants to love him.
But, Roxanne still doesn't know.
"Hmm, I don't know." Roxanne said then. Her friends looked disappointed. "But, I'm waiting for Felix's efforts, hehe, if he is serious about me, well, what can I do, I'm already comfortable with him," she said later.
The change in reaction of Roxanne's friends who became enthusiastic about laughing made Roxanne grimace in her heart.
"Alright, let's just go home. I'm already tired." Roxanne said. They went out of the room to pay the bill.

Jeffrey got out of his red sports car with a wry smile. He had arrived at a mall and came with his friend here. His friend asked him to accompany him to buy a gift for his girlfriend. So, Jeffrey just obeyed. After all, he was bored too if he had to constantly be at home.
Jeffrey excused himself for a moment to the toilet. Completed, he looked to his right there was a group of women with various paper bags in their hands. He smiled, because after he saw more clearly, he recognized one of the women.
Jeffrey approached the woman he knew. "Roxanne!" exclaimed Jeffrey.
Roxanne who is not far from the source of the voice turned around, looking for who called her.
"Jeff? Hi!" Roxanne greets the man after finding the owner of the voice who turns out to be Jeffrey.
"What are you doing here?" Roxanne asked. Maybe, she thought Jeffrey was shopping alone.
"Oh, I took my friend who wanted to buy a present for his girlfriend," he answered clearly.
"I thought you were shopping here." Roxanne chuckled. Exactly guess.
"Your friends?" Jeffrey glanced at Roxanne's friends who looked at Jeffrey from top to bottom.
Jeffrey smiled and extended his hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Jeffrey." he said. Roxanne's friends welcomed Jeffrey's hand one by one and said their names too.
"He looks like... Felix?" whispered Penny that Jeffrey could still hear.
"Wow, so you met my brother, huh?" Jeffrey asked kindly.
"You see, he came to the club with his friends at the time. Incidentally we were there too, and Felix recognized Roxanne so we knew a little -" Penny couldn't continue her words when Roxanne tried to cut off her babble by nudging Penny's arm with her elbow.
Jeffrey just laughed. "You must like shopping." Jeffrey glanced at their large shopping bag paper.
"Of course!" Theresa and Keesha answered at the same time, too happy. Roxanne just shook her head and shrugged her shoulders as Jeffrey looked at her.
Felix just had lunch with his friends. He returned to the office alone after his friends said goodbye to him. In the room, he sat in a work chair and leaned his head. Felix took a deep breath and stared at the ceiling of the study.
Gosh, I miss her, Felix thought.
Felix is eager to meet Roxanne. But, he still has work to do. Hurriedly, Felix took his cellphone and dialed Roxanne's number. The call was connected quickly.
"Hello," Roxanne answered.
"God! Glad to hear your voice, Roxy." murmured Felix.
Felix was just about to ask for Roxanne's whereabouts, but he undo it, because suddenly he heard the voice of a man she knew.
"This is for you, I'll treat." said the man who was with Roxanne.
Jeffrey? What is he doing with Roxanne? But, it seems like it's not just the two of them. Ah, still. What did they do together? Felix's brain went crazy again.
Felix immediately closed his call without saying another word. Felix is getting burned with jealous fire. Not finished last night he thought about the words of his brother, now he even found his brother was with Roxanne, his woman.
Felix decided to immediately go to the club now. Without contacting his friends. His mind has gone crazy. He could not think anymore if things had changed like this.
*
Jeffrey quickly became close with Roxanne's friends. In fact, he had treated them with ice cream. Meanwhile Roxanne was nervous. She thought of Felix who just called him. Why did Felix end his call like that? If so, why did he contact her? Roxanne turns into annoying herself thinking about it.
"What is wrong?" Jeffrey saw Roxanne frown and let the ice cream melt. "Don't like the ice cream?" Jeffrey asks again when Roxanne doesn't answer her question.
Roxanne who woke up shook her head quickly. "Ah, no. It's nothing," Roxanne protested. Jeffrey just smiled.
Shortly after, Jeffrey said goodbye to see his friend again. Roxanne and her friends also want to go home. Roxanne takes her friends home to their homes. Throughout the ride, Roxanne was silent even though occasionally responding to the words and jokes of her friends. After delivering all her friends, she headed for the mansion. Today, it really drains his energy. She was tired and also annoyed with Felix who suddenly hung up without speaking anymore.
*
Felix finished his glass of drink for some number of times. He could not count it. At first, he planned to tell his complaints to his friends. But, this sudden change of plans was due to his increasingly bad mood.
Felix's friends just arrived at the club. They saw Felix who was already drunk and just shook his head. They knew something was bothering Felix right now. Felix never got drunk like this.
"Jeez, Jullian, you're bothering us now." said Dennis, grimacing at Felix's chaotic appearance.
Edric was trying to gently expel women to give them time without women. Edric expertise. If he can make women come to him, then he can also make the women leave by obeying him like he just did.
"I wonder what made him this way." said Dennis later. He grimaced when he saw Felix who kept muttering obscure words.
Suddenly, Arthur laughed in a low voice. "I don't know what that is, but it certainly is related to Roxanne," he said.
"Ah, that woman." Justin muttered, nodding his head.
"Here, only you don't know about Felix and Roxanne." said Dennis. Justin just drinks his drink and shrugs his shoulders. Indeed, Justin has rarely joined them lately. He has a little business.
"Never mind, let's just bring him home to his house, it's useless here, I can't have fun either, and Jullian still owes us stories." edric joined after successfully expelling the women.
His friends agreed and brought Felix home to his home. Arthur drove Felix's car and called Arthur's private driver to drive Arthur's car he had brought earlier and asked him to take him to Felix's house. His friends drive their own cars.
Arriving at Felix's house, Arthur took Felix to his room and just slammed Felix. Arthur grimaced at him and only muttered "Sorry, Dude," before he left Felix's room.
"I did. Let's go home. Leave him alone," Arthur said as he met his friends below. They finally left Felix's house. Leaving Felix who is unconscious due to his severe intoxication.
