"Ah, I can finally feel calm. Being away from my annoying sister really makes me miss him. But his behavior also makes me furious. That's just what he is," said Alyosha in a monologue. She was busy with reports her subordinates gave him about her hotel business income.
Yes, apart from illegal businesses such as selling illegal narcotics and weapons. Alyosha also has a legal business, she chose to build luxury hotels and resorts. There she can earn a very large income, as well as increase his relationships. There is no doubt that she is connected with 180 important people who make it easy for her to enter her wares into every major country in the world. Alyosha's name was not widely disseminated to the public. But well-known people would know her name, the figure of a very successful woman. And of course strong and powerful.
Her parents must be very proud, their little girl who used to always carry an old stuffed lion who had a dream of becoming a woman who was looked up to and respected by many men, is now a woman who has thousands of subordinates and relationships who respect her like a queen.

The ringing of her office phone signaled an incoming call. It's very awkward, because usually calls from other companies or business partners will come through the phone of his personal secretary. But there's nothing wrong with picking up the phone right?
"Hello," Alyosha replied curtly. Make sure who's on the other end of the call there. She deliberately did not say much, so that the person would not be able to guess who answered the phone call.
"Why didn't you read the message from mother?"
Alyosha took a deep breath. apparently it was her mother, how could she call the office phone like this.
Alyosha bit her lip slowly, she just remembered that she didn't check her cellphone since this morning. She is too busy with all kinds of work. And now it's 3 o'Clock in the afternoon. Of course her mother was worried because her message had not been read for so long.
"Sorry Mom, I was busy and didn't open the message until now," Alyosha replied softly and politely. She didn't want to offend or hurt her mother with her words.
Yes, even though she is a mafia who doesn't hesitate to kill people. But she is still her mother child, a child who must be filial to her parents. She understands very well how her mother loves and raises her with great affection. It was her mother who always greeted her with a gentle smile with a glass of Alyosha's favorite hot chocolate. No matter even though she is tired from taking care of the household and also helping her husband who works, she remains gentle even though her children often make mistakes and act naughty.
"Busy? You can take care of your business but not your romance? I mean... find a partner as soon as possible. If you're only concerned with money, you'll forget that you need a life with a husband and children. I don't want you to continue to be single like this," said Alyosha's mother. Alyosha could hear the tone of annoyance but worry at the same time through the way her mother spoke.
Alyosha smiled, on the face of a typical Italian woman, a feeling of amusement and confusion appeared on the woman's face. Was intrigued by the attitude of his mother who was worried about Alyosha's mate, and was confused about how to get her mother to stop urging her to get married quickly.
"But Mom, I still want to focus on my workespecially in the next few weeks I will be sending a lot of stuff to Norway, the Netherlands, and Paris. I have too much to take care of first. For partner matters, I leave it at the time that will bring me together with the person who will become my partner later. if it's not the time, even if you look for it you won't find it."
"You're so smart, kid." There was an increasingly irritated reply, but still low and gentle. "Since when can you take time as an excuse for not looking for a partner for your future husband doesn't come too, you should think about looking for him. You can get millions of dollars in money, let alone just looking for a husband?"
Apparently this mother does not have the word cursing in her life dictionary. Can be proven by her tone that is so gentle even though deep in her heart there is a great anger. She was tired of repeatedly telling her daughter to find a life partner. Alyosha would have exploded if she had been in her mother's position. Very different from Alyosha who almost every day cursing her subordinates who are incompetent at work.
Is looking for a husband like looking for a dollar? Selling a piece of bread can also make us earn money, but looking for a life partner is not that easy. Alyosha couldn't believe that her mother could use it as a parable in finding a partner. Sometimes she also thinks that her mother and Elisio are very similar, they are too simple in responding to a problem. As long as it's done quickly, they'll make it as simple as possible.
But in fact until this second, Elisio also does not have a wife. Then why was he the only one urged by his mother? is it because she is a woman?
Alyosha often goes to Asia, especially to Vietnam and Thailand. She has also visited Indonesia. All she knows is that there is a tradition or an ideology that makes them think that girls shouldn't be single for a long time. because it will cause shame in society if their daughters are still unmarried when they reach a mature age. There are even parents who have married off their daughters when they were very young.
But this is different. She and they are not the same. Everyone has their own priorities. Haven't the people there started to imitate the principle of 'life starts from the age of 30'. For Alyosha, the age of 32 is a start. She is not at all interested in a romantic relationship. Because she didn't understand it at all.
For her, romance is more confusing than managing hundreds of packages of her illegal weapons expedition. It is more complicated than facing the surveillance of the state apparatus for the illegal weapons she sends. More troublesome than managing her hotel business which has spread across 20 megapolitan countries in the world.
"B-but that's how it is, isn't it?" Alyosha stammered. "Hurrying to look for it does not even get the right one. In fact, it will only make yourself dizzy. and maybe if I choose the wrong one, I myself will be disappointed."
Her mother was silent, Alyosha also did not dare to continue her words. She was worried that her mother was disappointed with her words.
"Alyosha, I hope you find a life partner soon. Mother is old, and I don't know when I will leave this world. I don't want it if I don't get to see you get married and holding your baby."
