"Honey. Maybe she's feeling better, that's why she came here," said Bastian while holding Siska's shoulder but his gaze was fixed on Gea who looked uncomfortable. Of course, he was worried that his mistress would be angry or leave him because he was with his wife while promising a divorce.
"Ugh, maybe she's just pretending to be sick!" Siska said annoyed then pointed at Alexa's face. "Let's see, if you don't go to the office tomorrow, I make sure your salary deduction will be even bigger!"
Alexa just looked down and didn't dare to answer because she wasn't very good at arguing.
"Alexa is not feeling well. She just felt better and I took her out for a walk so she wouldn't be too tired because she has a very chatty boss like you!" This time Gea joined in. She didn't expect that her boyfriend's wife was so fussy. "You are a rich person but the problem of salary of employees who have little debt is still always discussed even outside of work. You are very unprofessional!"
"Hey, you don't know anything, don't talk. Your friend has a lot of debt to my company. if it's not much, there's no way I'll keep working on her because I don't want to lose." Siska glared at Gea who interfered with Alexa.
Gea immediately waved Siska's hand from in front of her. "I have the right to speak because I don't like the way you treat her!"
"If you don't accept it, do you think I would care? Are you able to pay the debts? No, right....then you just shut up!" Siska pushed Gea back a few steps.
Gea did not accept and was about to push Siska but was immediately prevented by Alexa while Siska was held by Bastian.
"That's it, Gea. Don't worry about it anymore. This is my business!" Alexa exclaimed holding Gea's hand.
"But she has acted arbitrarily outside of working hours. Moreover, today you are officially on leave, right?"
"Alexa ..." Siska was about to speak but Bastian immediately objected and pulled her.
"Never mind, don't make a small problem big. Don't bring up employee debt in public like this. because it reflects your very unprofessional attitude as a boss! We better go or I'll leave you alone!"
Gea smiled sarcastically at Siska. "You are a bad boss. Even your husband doesn't like your attitude!"
"Watch your words, dammit!" Siksa does not accept.
"Gea. Let's get out of here" Alexa pulled Gea.
Bastian glanced around and saw several people paying attention to the debate between Siska and Gea. He finally forced his wife to stay away from the girl who was his mistress.
Alexa pulled Gea away from Siska. She took her friend to another place that was far from her boss. "You two argue just talking about my debt problem, it's almost scratched, what if you find out that you're her husband's affair. It could be the female version of the third world war!"
"I'm not afraid of her. She looks old and no prettier than me. no wonder her husband likes me," said Gea following Alexa.
"Forget it. Your relationship is insane!" exclaimed Alexa groggily pulling Gea towards the seller of various make-up equipment. "You said you wanted to treat me. Now I will choose and you pay!"
Gea releases Alexa's grip on her hand which looks a little red. "Hem. You pulled me too hard. Now ask for a treat."
"Because that is your promise. I am very lazy to see Mrs. Siska when she is angry. so, I better pull you to avoid it," explained Alexa then chose various makeup tools.
"She is very fussy. Now I understand why his husband is dating me, even willing to divorce him," said Gea.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"If after he divorces her then will marry you, you will look like a whore," Alexa reminded. She took a set of inexpensive make-up kits and brought it to the counter.
"I do not care. most importantly, I'm happy with him," said Gea, who was already blinded by love.
'I don't know why I'm not sure,' Alexa thought while looking at the cashier who was totaling the price of her make-up equipment.
"Everything is one million five hundred thousand rupiahs," said the cashier after placing the make-up equipment into a pink paper bag and giving it to Alexa.
"What... One million five hundred thousand?" Alexa was stunned as she accepted the paper bag.
"It's cheap..I'll pay for it," said Gea then took a credit card from her bag and gave it to the cashier who immediately processed the payment using the machine.
"That's very expensive for me because usually I only buy makeup kits for two hundred thousand," said Alexa, looking regretful that she had bought too expensive. "After this, we don't need to buy clothes."
"Why?" she asked. She took her credit card back because she had finished paying.
"This is expensive."
"It's okay. I still have plenty of money." Gaea smiled reassuringly. She turned to invite Alexa to see an ice skating show not far from the make-up shop.
-----
Melvin had just arrived at the mall. He walked at a rather fast pace because he didn't want to miss seeing a show that would be performed by Joey. seeing Joey dancing on the rink wearing ice skating shoes and wearing a white dress is his favorite thing.
until a few minutes of walking down the mall, Melvin finally arrived at the location of the ice skating rink which was quite wide in the shape of an oval with a guardrail where many visitors were watching several athletes performing.
"Always perfect," Melvin mumbled when he saw Joey dancing with her partner who was an Asian-looking man. His step-sister wore a white knee-length dress, curled her hair with bangs that covered her forehead, while her partner wore black basic pants and a white shirt. they danced beautifully gliding across the rink and wearing skates.
When it was cool to watch Joey, Melvin's eyes fell on Alexa and Gea who were also watching not far from him. "Is she cured?"
Alexa and Gea looked amazed to see the action of Joey who was dancing while sliding. Melvin's stepsister around many times beautifully using one leg.
"She's beautiful and very smart. I want to try," muttered Gea as she clapped her hands in front of her chest.
"I know who she is," said Alexa remembering when she saw Joey's photo attached as a photo of the person who called Melvin.
"Really? Did you get acquainted with her?" asked Gea still looking at Joey who was about 10 meters away from her.
"No. I just accidentally answered a call from her on Melvin's phone which was left in the suit I was wearing," explained Alexa.
"Is she his girlfriend?" asked Gea again.
"No. I even thought she was his girlfriend. I haven't had a chance to say who I really am but she already guessed that I was his girlfriend, and she's very chatty. Looks like she's getting married too," Alexa explained casually.
"Gosh, she thought you were his girlfriend?" Gea tapped Alexa's shoulder. "You've got Melvin's attention, now that pretty girl also thinks you're his girlfriend. I hope you two will be dating for real!"
"That's impossible. I'm just a grain of dust to him." Alexa is pessimistic.
"Just like me...I'm like a grain of dust to Bastian but Bastian doesn't look at me from status or material. I hope Melvin is like that with you!" Gea is getting more enthusiastic. Again hallucinating Alexa will have the luck of the girls in romantic movies she's ever seen.
"So, you were the one who was mistaken for my girlfriend?"
Suddenly someone asked from behind her. Instantly Alexa turned and stared blankly at someone it was Melvin. 'For God's sake. Why do I always meet him at the wrong time,' she thought.
Gea smiled seeing Melvin who looked at Alexa so intensely. 'Aw, looks like they...'
"Sorry. At that time I couldn't answer calls from her because she kept calling," said Alexa turning her face away to look at Joey who smiled at her. ah, Joey must have smiled because there was Melvin too and thought Alexa was Melvin's girlfriend.
