Chapter 4 - Meet again

Melvin doesn't have breakfast with his family. Instead, he went straight to the office because he didn't want to argue with Joey who complained about her discomfort but didn't want to take his advice.

Joey returned to the room and sat on the edge of the bed. she took her pink smartphone and tried to call Dante. The beautiful girl lay staring at the ceiling of the room which was a white ceiling while waiting for her lover to respond to her call.

"Hello, honey," said Dante over the phone.

"Hello. can we meet this morning?" asked Joey.

"If before nine I can see you."

"There's something I want to talk to you about... about our wedding. I'll be waiting for you at our regular cafe at eight."

"Why don't you just tell me on the phone? Don't make me curious."

Joey sighed. Thinking that what she was going to talk about was about a marriage that seemed sacred and important, she decided to still invite her lover to have private chat.

"I can't say on the phone. We'll just meet anyway. now... I will prepare.

"In that case, okay."

"See you later, love you..."

"Love you too."

Joey breathed a sigh of relief. She was silent imagining how she was so happy when she won the international ice skating championship with one of her partners in Japan. it made her want to achieve that victory one more time before she focused on living life as a wife.

"Hopefully Dante will allow me to pursue that desire without having to cancel the wedding because I don't want to disappoint him," Joey muttered hopefully. She had already thought about what she would say to Dante later.

Joey immediately got out of bed and headed for the walk-in closet to the bathroom to take a shower because she hadn't showered before.

after taking a shower and wearing Gea's clothes and polishing her face with light make-up, Alexa rushed to get her bag and put on her high heels then walked to the dining room in the apartment. The girl looks a bit sexier and more beautiful.

"I'm surprised..what did you do to get this luxury apartment?" asked Alexa while sitting on a milk cream-colored dining table chair. She immediately took a sandwich that Gea had prepared and ate it.

instead of answering, Gea asked back, "do you want to know my work?"

"Yes, of course ... who knows I can work like you so I can get money more easily, because being a secretary is very dizzy, especially my boss is very fussy," Alexa replied while eating but still looked a bit lazy because she was still dizzy.

"I work as a DJ in a special club for officials. People won't know who I am because I always wear a mask," said Gea, finally admitting her profession.

"The DJ at the officials' club?" Alexa rolled her eyes.

"Yes, the location is also a secret because there are some people who are looking for beautiful girls to have affairs with. Erm ... a lot of young men also go there but they are from the upper classes." Gea explained.

"Are you one of those girls?" asked Alexa.

"Of course not, I'm only specialized as a DJ the salary is very big because the quality of the music I design is also pretty cool. Maybe, tonight I will work. Do you want to come?" she asked.

Alexa immediately shook her head remembering that she liked to drink but couldn't stop herself from getting drunk. "No-no. I'd better stay as a secretary. It would be a shame if I became a DJ, then I drink and get drunk. I also don't like noisy places like that."

"Yeah, that's better. Because when you're drunk, it looks like you'll become the target of the pimple-nosed men. That's very dangerous because when you're drunk you're really bad, no matter who touches you!" Gea looks scary.

Alexa nodded, then immediately finished her sandwich in a hurry after she glanced at her white watch showing the time at 07.00 am. "I have to go back to the rented house to get the files, after that I have to go to a restaurant because my boss is waiting there for a meeting with a client at eight."

"Meeting so early?"

"Yes. It was supposed to be nine o'clock but the client pushed it forward."

"I wish I had a car. I'll take you," Gea muttered then continued eating.

Alexa finished the glass of milk provided by Gea, then stood up. "Hopefully you can quickly get a lot of money and buy a car. And about last night's debt, I will pay it off."

"Yes. Don't think too much about it. The most important thing is to think about your mother's health first." Get stood up. She immediately escorted Alexa to the front door. They hugged each other briefly as a sign of farewell.

when it was eight o'clock, Melvin was sitting on a black sofa with a glass table in front of him. He was in a restaurant with an outdoor concept were in front of him was a swimming pool. he was with a girl with a typical Indonesian face with olive skin and slightly wavy hair.

"They took so long," Melvin muttered, starting to get uneasy. He glanced at the girl beside him. "Tara, didn't you confirm that the meeting schedule would be moved forward?" he asked.

"I've confirmed, sir. Maybe they're on their way," replied Tara who turned out to be Melvin's secretary.

After a few minutes of waiting, finally, Melvin was approached by a woman around 30 years old, dressed formally and followed by a girl who was dressed somewhat sexy but still looked normal while carrying their respective bags.

"Good morning, sir. Sorry for being late," said the woman.

"It's okay, Mrs. Siska," said Melvin with a faint smile. His gaze shifted to the girl who was with Siska. 'Isn't she Alexa, the girl I held last night?' he thought.

Siska immediately sat on the sofa opposite Melvin along with Alexa. She immediately asked Alexa to bring out the files that would be discussed with Marvin. Similarly, Tara also took out the files she had prepared.

The meeting went quite casually and smoothly, but Melvin's eyes often focused on Alexa who looked sleepy and pale. Alexa still doesn't recognize the man that brought her to Gea's apartment.

"So, you are willing to join our company?" Sisca confirmed after almost an hour talking about her company's operating system.

"Yes. I will inject a large number of funds into your company," said Melvin.

"I hope this cooperation can go well." Siska greeted Melvin as a sign of the deal.

Alexa is very dizzy and wants to go to the bathroom because she feels sick to her stomach again after drinking the coffee latte that Melvin ordered. "Mrs. Siska. Excuse me to go to the bathroom for a while," she said as he stood up.

"Yes please," said Siska with a flat look.

Alexa rushed to the bathroom with slightly staggered steps until when she passed the edge of the pool, her steps were getting more and more unbalanced, coupled with her high heels which were quite high. "Oh my God, my head is so dizzy."

Alexa's vision grew blurry until she finally fell into the pool.

Byurrr...

Melvin, who was continuing to chat with Siska, turned towards the pool and saw a person who had fallen and had difficulty swimming. He squinted his eyes and realized that it was Alexa.

"Gosh, Alexa!" Siska looked panicked and immediately stood up.

Because no one was willing to help Alexa, Melvin immediately took off his suit and ran towards the pool to immediately help Alexa who looked uneasy like she couldn't swim.
