Nixeelin.

Manning Bars.

It doesn't feel like the night is getting late. Sicantik Nixeelin who had left her home without telling anyone has now arrived at bar— where she always spent time if she felt sad.

Sitting in one of the front seats of the bartender's table, Nixeelin was seen enjoying a cup of warm tea served by the bartender man. While sipping a little by little his warm tea, he was also stunned.

" What's up, Miss?" ask the bartender man who always displays a happy face.

" What?" Nixeelin regained her senses, she lifted her gaze and looked at the handsome face of a man of her age before her.

" You're always here, and for the first time just ordering hot tea" said the bartender, looking curious.

" No. I just want some warm tea. I'm not healthy enough to drink alcohol anyway." lied Nixeelin by still carving her thin smile.

" Alright, I won't ask again." chirped the bartender.

" Ah, for several years subscribing to this place I would love to ask you one thing when I first saw you." exclaimed Nixeelin.

The bartender frowned, then smiled. "What's that?"

" Why do you look like me?" ask Nixeelin.

Silence ambushed for a moment after Nixeelin finished her speech. He looked at the handsome face of the man while waiting for an answer. The bartender seemed to think for a moment.

" I don't know" said the bartender lightly.

" What's why? Do you think I'm your twin brother? Ah, don't think weird, I'm the only kid in my family." he added half-jokingly.

" Aish, when did I think that? I never knew your name anyway." Nixeelin said with a small laugh, beginning to get carried away with the light conversation with the bartender.

" Call me Xavier." exclaimed the dashing man who for the first time introduced his name to the customers at his bar.

" Your name is so cool." praised Nixeelin later.

" really? Daddy and Mommy gave me that name. Xavierre, heir to the Manning Bar." said Xavier proudly.

" Well, is there an interesting story between the two of you?"

Suddenly there was a masculine voice from the handsome man who interrupted Nixeelin and Xavier's small talk to make the two turn to the source of the voice.

" Ah, Mr. Davis. Welcome to Manning Bar." greeted Xavier kindly.

" Yes." retorted Davis with a faint smile.

" Red wine alone" he added ordered his favorite drink.

Xavier immediately served red wine to his customers, then left the two, giving Davis and Nixeelin time to talk.

" Have you been here long?" ask Davis gently.

" Yum."

Davis smiled at Nixeelin's reply. His gaze then turned to the warm cup of tea on the table.

" Hey, how are you? You healthy in there?"

Dhegs.

Nixeelin was stunned when Davis suddenly lowered her head slightly, then spoke softly as if accompanying the baby in her stomach talking.

" What are you doing?" tanya Nixeelin pulled away from her inertia.

" Ah, sorry. I think I should say hello to him too." Davis casually said.

" It's okay, no need to apologize. I'm just not used to this." explains Nixeelin.

" What about his father? When is she gonna marry you?" davis asked, sipping a little red wine.

Hearing the question of the man beside her, Nixeelin immediately smiled wryly. The woman had not spoken, she chose to sip her tea which was still warm.

" He asked me to find a father for his baby." Nixeelin paused back to her conversation with Miguel the other day at the cafe.

" I didn't want to at first, but I've decided to give birth to my baby. And of course my baby needs a father too, so maybe I'll get married" she smiled again, covering up the pain of Miguel's statement at the time.

" really? Then who are you getting married to?" Davis asked casually even though he was very curious.

" I don't know."

Nixeelin's short answer kept Davis quiet. The man thought for a moment while enjoying a glass of alcohol in front of him as well as Nixeelin.

" Nixeelin.." call Davis suddenly.

" I'll be a father to your baby, marry me."

" Heh?" Nixeelin was wide-eyed, she was very surprised by Davis's statement just now. How not, all this time he had never thought of a relationship let alone tied to a handsome and wealthy man.

" You said he asked you to find a father for the baby, so I'll be your baby's father. Let's get married" Davis added, making clear his intention to propose to Nixeelin blatantly.

" Why all of a sudden?" asked Nixeelin who was still surprised.

" Ah, that's because the other day I went to the hospital and it turns out that all the doctors and nurses knew that you were my boyfriend. Plus the chief doctor told my father." Davis explained, trying to relax, even though in his heart he tried to resist the nervousness of first proposing to a woman.

" I think I should go home. It's midnight."

Instead of answering Davis, Nixeelin grabbed her bag and said goodbye.

" Alright, call me later and let me know your decision." Davis asked before Nixeelin actually passed.

Nixeelin did not respond, the woman immediately rushed to leave the bar without saying much.

" Aish, did he reject me?" muttered Davis feeling embarrassed.

Oliveira Mansion.

In the main room of the magnificent house of Nixeelin Oliveira, it appears that the room was sitting in front of the dressing table, observing itself in the reflection of a mirror. He had just finished his appearance before leaving for work, and was waiting for the Viet to see him.

Shortly waiting to come, Viet went into his superior's room and greeted warmly.

" You called me?" said it.

Nixeelin seemed to think for a moment and then moved from her seat and returned to sit on one of the sofas in her room.

" Hu'um sit down." Nixeelin asked Viet to sit next to her.

Viet was astonished, for it was unusual for Nixeelin to call him to speak alone in her room.

" What's up?" asked Viet seriously after sitting next to his boss.

" You know, you've always been loyal to me. You don't even think about dating or having a partner. You are so busy working for me every day. So I was thinking what if you started to open your heart to someone" Nixeelin said, puzzling her assistant.

" Of course, I'll open my heart and get married. But not now, I still need to finish my work." obviously Viet is starting to feel strange about his discussion with Nixeelin.

" Instead of waiting, why don't you do it now?" nixeelin looks serious.

" Heh?"

" I mean what's the difference now and then, you're going to stay married" Nixeelin added

" What is it, what do you really want to say?" asked Viet to look at the beautiful face of his boss who incidentally is his cousin as well.

" Hu'um. I want you to marry Lauren."

" What?" Viet was stunned to hear the words of the woman before him. He stared in disbelief, as if rejecting what he had just heard.

" Do you realize what you're saying?" he was a little disappointed in Nixeelin.

" I'm sorry, but you seem to have forgotten. I'm here to help you on a job, nothing more. Asking me to marry is no longer part of my duty." Viet explained with a single breath.

Nixeelin was silent at once, and for some reason suddenly her eyes were glazed over.

" Viet, please. marry Lauren." pinta Nixeelin pleaded with her increasingly sad face. His voice seemed to tremble, he could not hide his tears.

" Xeelin, wake up. What's wrong with you? Lauren's pregnant with another baby boy, why am I responsible?"

Viet again refused firmly Nixeelin's request.

" Hear me, where there are men who want to marry a woman who has been damaged, what's more likely to impregnate her is someone else" Viet added, trying to contain the anger created in her heart.
