When the time shows 11:30 am, Alexa is still busy taking care of the minutes of the meeting or the meeting that she hasn't done since yesterday. she looked very serious looking at the laptop, occasionally drinking the hot chocolate provided by OB.
Brett... Brett...
Her smartphone, which was next to her black laptop with a silver keyboard, rang to the tune of Christina Perri's song "Human". She immediately grabbed the phone and saw an incoming call from Gea, then answered it.
"Hello, Gae..."
"I have good news for you," said Gea from the phone, sounding very excited and Alexa seemed to have also heard a male voice near her best friend.
"What news is that?" Alexa asked, leaning her back against the shoulder of the black chair.
"My boyfriend has agreed that you live in this apartment and will pay someone to prepare a room for you. You don't have to bother looking for new rent and food, I'll take care of it. You can send 20 percent of your salary to your parents."
Alexa sighed then leaned forward slightly leaning her elbows on the white table, then her hands massaged her forehead which was a bit dizzy. "I'm sorry, Gea... I'm bothering you again."
"Hey, I'm just glad you're staying here. I'm not lonely anymore and….Of course, I can monitor the progress of your relationship with Melvin."
Instantly Alexa smiled with a happy hue on her face after hearing Melvin's name being mentioned. "He's in this office now."
"Really??"
"Yeah... and now he's coming over to me..I'll turn off the phone first," said Alexa, looking at Melvin who had just left Siska's room with Siska and his secretary.
"Then you have to tell me what happened... ah, if you need to take a picture, record it..."
Alexa hastily hung up the phone before Gea finished speaking, and at that moment Melvin approached her.
"Honey," Melvin called, smiling at Alexa.
Tara and Siska stopped in front of Alexa's room which was a room with glass walls, they couldn't deny that they had just heard Melvin call Alexa "Honey".
Alexa glanced at the door until Melvin also turned towards the door and saw Siska and Tara who looked surprised. Em, Melvin immediately approached Siska.
"Mrs. Siska. Because it's break time, I want to take my girlfriend out for lunch," said Melvin with a flat look then glanced at Tara. "You go back to the office first. I'll be back around two o'clock."
"Okay, sir," Tara said with a nod of her head then quickly walked down the corridor to the public elevator.
"So... you guys are dating?" Siska asked with a frown as if surprised and could not believe what she had just heard. 'How could that be? didn't they just know each other yesterday?'
"Yes ... We are dating," said Melvin then walked over to Alexa. He embraced her from the side and looked back at Siska. "You don't mind if I take her out for lunch, right?"
"Eh... yes. Please." Siska was awkward, glanced at Alexa strangely.
"Come on, honey. Let's eat at my favorite cafe. It will be your favorite place too," said Melvin smiling warmly at Alexa.
Alexa who was a little nervous and awkward at the same time happy to see Siska who was surprised, immediately let go of Melvin's arms. ." I have to finish my work first," she said.
"Okay, I'll wait here," said Melvin then sat on the edge of the table, glancing at Siska who rushed away with a look of dislike. He turned to glance at Alexa who was turning off the laptop, then took her smartphone.
"Have you saved my contact number?" he asked.
"Eh ... of course," Alexa replied feeling awkward when Melvin checked her smartphone which happened to be unlocked. she immediately grabbed the phone but was immediately snatched back by her boyfriend.
"I wanted to see what name you saved my number under," said Melvin.
"Don't... there are a lot of things men shouldn't know here!" Alexa shouted to grab the phone but Melvin stood up and took the phone out of the room.
Melvin turned to look at Alexa and said, "you hurry up with your work, I'll be waiting in front of the elevator."
"Huh!" Alexa exhaled roughly, glancing at Melvin who was now walking leisurely towards the corridor. she immediately finished her work in a hurry because she wanted to immediately approach Melvin who was now rummaging through the contents of her smartphone. Ah, I hope there are no messages that will make her possessive lover angry.

Elsewhere, Joey is having a pre-wedding photoshoot with Dante on the edge of a lake where the scenery around is very beautiful and natural. she was standing on a wooden bridge in a long blue long dress, while Dante wore black jeans combined with a white t-shirt and a leather jacket that matched the color of his pants, holding Joey's hand as if pulling her forward, looking at the camera in the hand photographers ready to shoot them.
check....check...
Dante and Joey changed poses several times until the photographer finished taking their picture.
"For a session on the lake this seems to be enough," said the photographer, who is a 25-year-old Asian-looking man with a height of about 170 cm wearing blue jeans combined with a yellow t-shirt and a black jacket.
"Then, when can the photoshoot at the beach be taken?" asked Dante, looking at the photos taken earlier.
"Preferably tomorrow. Because if it is now, there is no preparation," replied the photographer.
"In that case, okay." Dante nodded his head.
"Then excuse me," said the photographer.
Dante nodded his head and turned to Joey who was sitting on the edge of the bridge with her ankles in the water.
"Honey, let's go home," Dante called.
"Ah, I still like here," said Joey, swinging her feet in the water. she looked up at the blue sky and closed her eyes, feeling the cool breeze blowing, making her long brownish-black hair flutter. "It's very quiet in here."
Dante sighed, then sat down beside Joey. "You like this place. How about our honeymoon themed with nature?" he asked.
"That's fine. But where are we going?" asked Joey squinting at Dante.
"Wherever you want, I will always be by your side," Dante replied then lay down using Joey's thighs as a pillow for his head.
"You're always bragging," Joey mumbled with a smile brushing Dante's hair.
"I'm sincerely saying it...And just so you know, I'm very happy because you're finally willing to marry me after a long delay because you always wanted to focus on being an athlete," said Dante, holding out his hand to caress Joey's cheek. "You're so beautiful today."
"Am I usually not pretty?" .asked Joey.
"Usually you're just beautiful, but today is extraordinarily beautiful," Dante replied then kissed Joey's hand, making her feel very loved and not hesitate or regret to get married soon.
