Never in his life had Vano met a girl who dared to talk to him, plus argue with him like this girl. Even his sharp glances were ignored by Lexa who looked so tired by his side. Vano secretly watched Lexa's face, which looked even more beautiful from the side. She had indeed started wearing make-up ever since Mr. Berto gave her a set of make-up tools. Of course he knew because it was an order from him. Yes, even though Vano can see, the girl's face is still messy. Looks like she's the only one who has no talent in terms of makeup.
"Why don't you ask Nola or Zoya to help learn to do makeup? At least you can learn from the internet?" asked Vano casually.
"Where do I have time for that. I work from morning to night. As soon as I get home, I take a shower, eat, and have to sleep again so that tomorrow morning I don't wake up late and go back to work," she said more like a satire.
"Ha ha ha. I'm sure you've read the employment agreement that Berto offered you before taking this job. Why are you complaining?" asked Vano no less curtly.
"Hmm, I know. I'm not protesting my hours. I realized that holding a high position would also result in a high workload as well. I'm just having a little trouble and need time to adjust to that," Lexa said casually.
"So are you getting used to the job yet?" asked Vano again.
"I'm trying!" said Lexa quickly.
"I'm sure you'll do it quickly, especially since Valdo is so kind to you," said Vano casually.
"Hmm, yes he is good to me. Much better than your attitude to me, "said Lexa again.
"Why do I look evil in your eyes? Let's see where we are now? I'm driving you home! If I was that mean, I would have left you at the bus stop earlier!" Vano said angrily.
"Yes, yes, I thank you for that. I mean, improve your attitude a little. Simple things like smiling or saying sorry, please, and thank you are very easy things to do, but have a tremendous effect on others and yourself," said Lexa casually.
"Hmh, too hard for me to do!" Vano said realizing it.
"Stubborn!" Lexa said very softly.
"Don't talk carelessly. I hear it!" Vano said casually.
"Ah, really?" Lexa was confused because she spoke super softly, even more like just mumbling.
This time, Lexa was silent. She still remembered how she entered Vano's room right when the man was sleeping. To be honest, the man looks very handsome and innocent when sleeping. Lexa almost fell for his charm if she didn't remember what he said the last time about herself and Valdo. When he spoke, everything that came out of his mouth was like a whip that could hurt anyone.
"Hey, hey, wake up!" Vano's words began to sound clear.
"Jeez, did I oversleep?" asked Lexa confusedly rubbing her own face.
"Tsk, you just hitched a ride and slept in my car! We've arrived at your apartment. Hurry up and get out! I want to go home too!" said Vano curtly.
"How did you know my apartment?" asked Lexa confused.
"You already told me the address!" Vano said quickly.
"Is that true?" asked Lexa as if not fully aware.
"Don't think too long! I also want to go home and want to rest!" said Vano shooing her away.
After saying thank you, Lexa got down and the car sped away leaving her behind. According to Lexa, this man really sucks. Meanwhile in the car, Vano peeked in the rearview mirror and saw Lexa frowning in annoyance. Vano secretly smiled at the girl who slowly entered her apartment. He recalled the conversation he had with the unique girl.
"Where should I take you?" asked Vano curtly.
"Marvelo's apartment is in the Beaoufort area," Lexa said soberly.
"I will take you quickly," said Vano at that time.
"There's no need to be too hasty either. There were no parents waiting for me there," of course Vano knew this, but seeing the look on Lexa's face made him want to find out more.
"Your parents died in an accident?" asked Vano.
"Do you know? Ah, yes of course you know. You're my boss. Hmmm, yeah right. They died in an accident. Actually I even forgot what it's like to have parents. I don't know what it's like to be loved by mom and dad. It's just that every time I see a scene like that, it always makes me wonder what would it feel like? Would everything be different if they were still by my side?" Lexa's words somehow sounded so emotional.
"You miss them?" asked Vano stupidly.
"I don't know. How can I miss someone whose face I've even forgotten? It's just that, there's an emptiness in my heart that I don't even know what it is. I don't know how to fill it or cover it." Lexa even kept her face down.
"Have you ever questioned your own destiny? Pity yourself for living life like this? Ask God why He was so cruel to you?" Vano just want to know.
"Of course I have, but that was a long time ago. Sometimes I wish I had never been born. Then I see there are lots of people out there who are much more sad and suffering than me. I think again, I even had a good and loving grandmother. I also have a fairly thin brain that can help me finish my schooling. Not much but there are always good people who help whenever I need. What other favors should I deny?" Lexa is truly heartened.
"Do you have any aspirations? I mean besides being able to become a nurse," Vano wanted to hear the answer.
"Hm, helping other people like I told you," said Lexa as if reminding him again.
"I know that, but I mean now that the dream of being nurse might just be a dream!"
"To be honest, I'm also confused because for now this job really takes up my energy and time. Come to think of it, now maybe my dream would be a lot simpler. I want to have a family. I will take good care of my husband and children. I'll be quite a help with that right??" Lexa asked, also unsure.
"Have a family? Can this be called a dream? Isn't that more like a life goal?" asked Vano doubtfully.
"Ha ha ha. I also do not know. It's just what I want to achieve the most. Not anytime soon of course. Maybe in three or four years?" Lexa herself is not sure.
"In that case, that will be the goal that you can achieve the easiest," laughed Vano scornfully.
