Chap 4

CHAPTER 4

That morning, Lexi arrived at work without being picked up by his secretary. He came earlier than his secretary. His unexpressed sexual desire made him restless all night. He actually decided to sleep in his office.

The fourteenth floor of the Ricardo Group building is his office where he works and makes big decisions that have an impact on the company and the employees he leads.

He drank a cup of espresso coffee. However, the anger in his heart did not lessen.

His office door opened. Arsene with a cheerful expression entered Lexi's office.

"Good morning sir! It looks like you were so excited this morning! Woow, what happened to your eyes?" Arsene asked, he was surprised because he saw Lexi's blue eyes.

"Bring Jessica here right now! Then take her to my apartment right now!" Lexi ordered.

"Sir did you forget? Today there is a schedule with an architect from Singapore who ..." Arsene stopped speech.

"Don't argue with me. Bring Jessica to me right now!" Lexi shouted.

"Yes sir!" said Arsene. He immediately contacted Ronald and asked him to take Jessica to one of the Ricardo family's villas.

Arsene scratched the back of his head which was non-itchy. He had to be smart so that his boss wouldn't get caught in a legal case for playing catch up with the girl named Jessica.

***

"Jessica!" Mrs. Grace called.

"Yes ma'am!" the eighteen-year-old girl said. He walked closer to the source of the sound. The middle-aged woman sat down and looked at her with a serious look.

"I have to tell you!" Mrs. Grace said, still directing her eyes to the look on the beautiful girl's face. "You still have to get out of here!" she added later.

Jessica's head dropped. Not without reason she still has been living in this orphanage, since she was 6 years old, many people wanted to adopt Jessica, but she didn't want to be adopted. All because she was very sure that her parents would find and pick her up.

"The landlord where the orphanage was founded is not mine, and the owner is asking for this land back! I can't replace it with money. I hope you can live independently from now on!" Mrs. Grace explained. She steeled her heart to say this to Jessica. It wasn't that easy. She knew very well Jessica's sadness when her parents left her in the orphanage twelve years ago, when the girl was six years old.

"How much money does it take to stay here ma'am?" Jessica asked in a trembling voice. She knows the amount is too much and maybe beyond her reach.

"In the past, when the orphanage was established, the price was still reasonable. But now I have to pay 1 billion. I don't have that much money." Mrs. Grace looked down wearily. Not only her, but also Jessica felt sad if the orphanage had to move or leave the children in another orphanage.

"When ma'am? When should we move from here?" Jessica asked.

"As soon as possible!" Mrs. Grace replied

"Okay, I'll try to get a loan from Beryl!" Jessica said. She got up from her seat. "I borrowed money from Chelsea too!" she added.

Mrs. Grace was still sad. She was not sure what Jessica would try. One billion is not a small amount, it is a lot.

Jessica tied her hair randomly. She put on his blazer and quickly walked out of her room. "Mr. Grace, wait, I'll be home soon. I hope I get help soon!" Jessica said goodbye to leaving the orphanage.

Jessica, who was in panic, walked quickly. Her two thumbs moved swiftly across her phone, she was looking for Beryl's number and wanted to call him.

She wasn't aware that someone had been stalking her.

According to Lexi's orders, Ronald arrested Jessica without anyone knowing it. Then, he put the girl in the car.

Ronald let Jessica sit in the back seat. Ronald sat behind the wheel and immediately called Arsene.

"Hello!" arsene said on the phone.

"The girl is already with me, where am I taking her?" Ronald asked.

"To the Villa!" Arsene told.

"Okay!" Ronald replied.

The phone call ended and Ronald started his car and headed to one of the Ricardo Family's villas at Bogor.

***

"Sir, your request has been done. Jessica is with Ronald and they are on their way to villa in Bogor!" Arsene reported. "Now, you still have to ..." the secretary stopped.

"Why to the villa?" Lexi protested.

"If you take it to the apartment there will be a lot of people watching, or should I take it to the main house?" Arsene asked. He flashed a mischievous smile.

"Don't! It could be dangerous if my mother finds out!" Lexi said who was starting to lose his genius.

"So are you really healed?" Arsene inquired as he walked towards the elevator.

"I think she's special. Jessica is different, I heal only when I touch her. When I'm with Cassandra, my body doesn't react at all!" Lexi answered honestly.

"Does that mean you're going to do it to that girl?" Arsene just didn't want any trouble in the future, because he had to fix Lexi's mess. No, he couldn't let that boss become a criminal just because of this problem.

"Of course!" Lexi answered without thinking. He smiled and only himself could interpret it.

"But sir! She's not your wife! She's also not a prostitute girl who is willing to sleep with you without paying! Don't you pity her? She's an orphan girl who lives in an orphanage! Aren't you so mean when you take away the most honorable thing from her?" Arsene protested. In the past he didn't mind if Lexi slept with many women. Lexi changed dating women as often as he changed socks.

"Give her whatever she wants! I need her! You know I feel like I'm going crazy!" Lexi said. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the collar.

Then these two men got into the elevator.

"Don't equate Jessica with the prostitute girl sir! She's a really unfortunate girl if you treat her like that!" Arsene argued. This time he felt he had to defend Jessica.

"Don't be loud! I just want to sleep with her!" Lexi said with a soft voice because the elevator door opened suddenly and there were several employees in front of them.

The employees bowed respectfully. Meanwhile Lexi and Arsene kept walking past them.

"Okay, it's up to you but I won't be held responsible if something happens!" Arsene threatened him.

"Shut up! I think you're the only one who knows how much I've been in pain! And now you're trying to stop me?" Lexi stared intently into Arsene's eyes.

Arsene shook his head slowly. A bad premonition flashed through his mind.

"Take me to the villa right now!" His order couldn't be postponed.
