In the morning, Alexa squirmed when she felt a cold temperature hit her body. She turned sideways to hug the bolster because she thought that she was sleeping in her rented house. Finally, the one she embraced was Gea.
"Ugh, Alexa!"
Gea felt breathless because Alexa's hand wrapped around her neck. She immediately removed the hand roughly and then turned her back to her friend. "Don't bother me, I'm still sleepy!" She exclaimed.
Alexa slowly opened her eyes, staring at the ceiling of the room which was a white ceiling. She glanced around and realized that she was not in her rented house.
"Oh my God... I'm so dizzy," Alexa mumbled as she sat up. He glanced sideways to find that it was Gea who was asleep.
Alexa got out of bed and walked to the bathroom staggeringly. She immediately washed his face, until suddenly nausea began to hit.
Gea, who began to sleep peacefully without Alexa, was even disturbed by the sound of someone vomiting in the bathroom. She sat up quickly and glanced at the bathroom door. "Who threw up? Could it be Alexa?"
caklekkk
Alexa came out of the bathroom with unsteady steps and her face looked pale. She walked over to Gea who was sitting on the bed with her hair tangled.
"You threw up?" Gee confirmed.
Alexa nodded. "I'm dizzy. But I have to get back to the rented house to get ready for work."
"Just leave here. Wear my clothes," said Gea and then got up from the bed. She walked to the cupboard and opened it took a white dress overall and a maroon blazer then gave it to Alexa. "Just use this."
"But some files are on the rent." Alexa is still very lethargic. Instead, she leaned back and massaged her head. "The red wine you gave isn't good. But I'm addicted. I didn't think it would have this bad effect."
"When you get used to it you won't get drunk."
"I'm not thinking of becoming an alcoholic." Alexa glanced back at Gea who was about to sleep again. "Last night how did you take me home? I don't remember at all."
"There is a handsome man who is kind enough to take us, he even carries you to the room," explained Gea then chuckled. "And you forbade him to come home because you thought he was a prince... Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be so embarrassing!"
"Really?" Alexa looked in disbelief.
"Why would I lie? He is very handsome, kind but also arrogant. Too bad I didn't ask him where he lived."
Alexa breathed a sigh of relief. At least she didn't know who the man was, because if she did, she would be embarrassed when she accidentally met him. She turned to look at her bag on the table and then picked it up to get her smartphone.
"Oh my God, it turns out that my father called dozens of times!" Alexa is surprised.
"Is that true?" Gea also looked at Alexa's cellphone. "Last night I didn't hear the call at all because I fell asleep right away. Could something have happened to your mother?"
"Who knows. I'll try to contact," said Alexa then tried to contact her father.
Until several times, she finally managed to connect with her father. "Hello, Dad... Is everything all right?"
"Yes, love. Everything is fine. Last night Daddy called you many times because your mother had dropped. but now it's stable again," explained a man who is Alexa's father.
"In that case, thank God." Alexa breathed a sigh of relief, but there was a deep pain in her heart because she couldn't see her mother at all. She didn't feel the tears just dripping but she immediately wiped them.
"Why?" asked Gea curiously.
Alexa shook her head and returned her focus to the phone. "I have transferred ten million to daddy's account. Hopefully, it will be enough for my mother's medical expenses this month."
"Yeah, love. take good care of yourself there. I'm a sorry father who always asks you for money... I haven't been able to make you happy."
"It's okay, Dad. I'm really happy to be able to give money to mom and dad. I hope mom gets better soon," said Alexa sadly. Her head throbbed when she talked about money because the debt was already large enough that she didn't have any leftovers from her paycheck to just buy new clothes or eat good food.
"Okay then. Dad has to work now. Your mother is accompanied by your brother."
"Yes, dad."
Alexa hung up the phone and put the phone on her lap. She sighed, glancing at Gea who had been staring at her for a long time.
"What's wrong with your mother?" she asked.
"Last night she had a drop but now she's getting better," Alexa answered then stood up. "I'm taking a shower here. After that, I'm going to the office."
"Okay. I'll make breakfast for you," said Gea.
Alexa rushed to the bathroom. She used Gea's toiletries. sometimes, she wonders at her friend who seems relaxed but has a lot of money while she who works hard still earns little. Actually, what is Gea's job?

melvin already looked neat wearing a black tuxedo suit without wearing a tie, wearing black loafers, combing his hair in a pompadé style, and spraying musk-scented perfume.
"Melvin," a newcomer called.
Melvin turned to look at the person. "Joey"
"You've been tidy this morning," Joey muttered, now sitting on the edge of the bed. She looked like she had just woken up because she was still wearing his red pajamas with a small star motif.
"I have a meeting with a client," said Melvin glancing at Joey. "What were the conversations with the Dante family last night?" he asked.
"We set a wedding date," replied Joey.
"When?"
"Two more weeks." Joey got up and walked to the bedroom window. She looked at the outside view which was a not too wide expanse of flower garden belonging to his mother. "I'm not ready."
"Then why not refuse?" Melvin asked.
"I can't. Daddy has already decided before I go home. and Dante's family agreed. I don't want to disappoint them," Joey explained nervously. She turned to look at Melvin who immediately looked worried for her.
"What makes you doubt?" Melvin asked with his gaze so cold.
"Because I ... I don't think I'm ready to be a wife yet. I still like the hobby and want to take part in the ice skating Olympics once again this year," replied Joey with a bend in her face.
"Then just cancel it. I'll try to talk to dad and Dante," said Melvin then walked out of the room.
"Melvin, don't!" cried Joey following Melvin who almost arrived at the door.
"Why? You don't need to get married if you're not ready!" Melvin looked displeased.
"I'm only going to talk about this without Dante because it's us who are in this marriage. Don't tell Daddy or he will be disappointed in me," Joey cried sadly.
"Joey, I have cared for you since childhood. so, if there's something that makes you decide that doesn't make you happy, I can't stay silent!" Melvin was annoyed.
"Yes I know, you care about me. But I'll just talk to Dante about this," said Joey trying to calm Melvin down.
Melvin sighed. then leaned his back against the metallic wall of his room. "You love him?"
"Of course I love him. I'm not ready just because it's about a career." Joey confirmed.
"Then, get married..." Melvin exclaimed then opened the door and immediately left the room with his cold gaze
