not that easy

“Why did Arsene come here?” Mrs. Anna asked, appropriate dinner for all family members to gather in the family room. Despite only watching a comedy in television show, Mrs. Anna, Mr. Samuel, Lexi, and Jessica felt warmth created between them.

“About work, Mom!” Lexi replied. Supposedly, he could smile off and feel happy when he saw his wife see a comedy show. However, not this time. Information from Arsene seized his whole mind. Could his parents be involved? Or did his parents do it on purpose because they thought they were strong business rivals? Or the event was just a coincidence and there was no connection at all?

Ah! No way that last one. Daniel Kim would definitely not forbid Jessica to marry him. Wait? was it possible that Daniel Kim did not agree because of the sexual harassment she had suffered? There were many thoughts in Lexi’s mind. A TV show that showed comedy couldn’t make him laugh. He was busy arguing with his own mind.

“Hooaam,” Jessica yawned as she closed her mouth.

“Want to sleep now?” Lexi offered, he glanced at the clock on the wall. It was almost nine o’clock in the evening.

“Oh,” Jessica shook her head.

“Then, you have to accompany your wife to sleep!” Mrs. Anna said. She was very happy to see the couple, her only son and also the best daughter-in-law.

Lexi nodded and they walked into the room. When they got to the room, they both crawled onto the bed, then laid down with a split position. Jessica was in a supine position, while Lexi was on side towards his wife.

“My husband!” Jessica called him, already the third time. Both of Lexi’s eyes looked at her, but his thought of going nowhere?Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Yes,” Lexi replied stammering.

“What are you thinking? Why do you look like that?” Jessica asked. Lexi rarely got out of focus like this.

“No, there’s a little work problem in the office. You better sleep, Jess! Here I hug you.” Lexi put her hand around Jessica’s waist. Now the tiny body of his wife was in his power.

“Honey,” Jessica called.

“Yes, Dear.” Lexi put his face in his wife’s neck, hoping to get more comfort so that it could release for a moment the burden that was in his mind.

“Don’t you want to promise to me?” Jessica shifted her body so that there was no distance between the two of them. She was laying on the same void with the same blanket anyway.

“What promise?” Lexi exhaled and kissed Jessica’s ear softly which managed to make his wife squirm with amusement.

“Promise, you’ll always hug me like this no matter what happens up ahead? How?” Jessica looked up, staring deeply into her husband’s eyes.

“Yes, I promise. What about you, Jessica? Are you also willing to promise never to leave me if anything happens?” he asked. “Jess,” he called because Jessica didn’t answer. He laughed when he found his wife asleep. Yes, how could he had just finished asking the question, and his wife had just fallen asleep in a matter of seconds.

“You must be so sleepy, Jess!” Lexi said softly, while tidying up the blanket so that Jessica’s sleep was getting better. Lexi slowly moved out of her sleep. This was an opportunity for him to ask questions with his dad when Jessica was not by his side.

Lexi slowly got out of bed, then he stepped on tiptoe because he didn’t want Jessica to be awake. Then, he opened and closed the door again, very carefully.

“Huh,” Lexi breathed a sigh of relief, after the mission came out of the room without waking his wife.

“You’re here again?” Mrs. Anna asked in amazement. During this time, Lexi would never leave the room again after entering the room with his wife. Until the morning before the meal together. Fifteen minutes later, he was out of the room.

“Mom, I can’t sleep yet!” Lexi was back in his seat. “Mom is not sleepy yet?” Lexi asked, glanced at the dad who focused on hearing the funny actor who was showing his skills to entertain viewers.

“Yes, I will go to the room first. I want to wear a face mask and skincare that I ordered from Korea who just arrived this afternoon. I really want to try it!” Mrs. Anna said, stood up from her seat and walked into the room.

In the living room, now there was only Lexi and Mr. Samuel. Exactly what Lexi had in mind. He and his father were alone in a room. He couldn’t wait to see what Arsene had to say this afternoon.

When the TV screen showed an advertisement, Lexi felt it was the right time to ask his father about it. “Dad,” he called.

“Yes.” Mr. Samuel looked at the source of the sound. Lexi focused on him. “What is it?”

“It’s about work!” What Lexi threw did not fit with his heart and mind. He hesitated, rather scared! Yes, after he asked that then everything would not be the same as now. Before his dad knew the big secret.

“What’s the matter, what’s bothering you! I gave it all to you, Lexi. I believe in your decisions and strategies. I also believe Ricardo Group will be more advanced in your hands with Arsene who always works hard and new innovations that you will create.” Mr. Samuel patted his son on the shoulder. Lexi was now a devoted son and could continue the family business.

“Thank you, Dad.” Lexi chuckled, laughing at himself. What you said last night was true. It was not easy to find the truth by directly questioning the person concerned. That person was our closest family.

The second hour went on, but until the hour had changed, he did not ask anything about what continued to be a debate in his heart.

“It’s almost eleven o’clock, come into your room! Jessica will look for you if you are not by her side,” Mr. Samuel said. He yawned many times, still no movement from Lexi.

“Yes, I’m going to my room now. I’m going to bed too,” Lexi said. Both of them left the family room moving towards their own rooms.

Lexi left for work earlier than usual. He did not accompany his wife to breakfast with no reason for an urgent meeting because he did not go to work yesterday. Inside his house, he couldn’t think of anything. And just by chatting with his secretary, he might be able to get an idea of what action he should take next.

“Sir, have you left?” Arsene was surprised to see Lexi arrive earlier than him.

“Sit down, I deliberately left early because I couldn’t sleep!” Lexi said. In the morning, he was ready to talk to the secretary.

“Did Miss Jessica ask you to stay up late?” It’s the same with Lexi when it came to bed, they only thought about sex. Maybe all men were like that.

Lexi shook her head strongly with both black beads, staring intently at Arsene. He was hinting that the man immediately sat down in the chair in front of him.

Arsene sat down, occasionally looking at Lexi. Arsene could guess, if the boss was still thinking about the accident of a married couple in the Kim Family.

“I can’t ask my father directly. I was afraid to listen to the answer, I was also afraid that they would feel accused because of my question! Arsene, starting today I’d like to ask you and Ronald to take a moment to find out more about Darren Kim and his wife. What is the business, who is the opponent of the business , and why do they come to Indonesia not just in Singapore, taking care of their family business!” Lexi said with a downcast face.

The most important thing was Jessica’s happiness. Until now, nothing had changed, everything he did for Jessica.

“Well sir, I’ll start everything today as well. After lunch I’ll start looking for that information. First from social media, and then I will meet one by one with colleagues, and people who may be involved or know about the accident!” Arsene could understand what was happening with Lexi at the moment.
