"Thank you, you've kept your promise to have dinner with me".
Tonight Alexa looks very beautiful with an elegant dress wrapping her proportional body.
Gery invites Alexa to dinner at a luxury restaurant that has been pre-reserved by Mama Weni.
"Mama has all planned this. Thank him, not me" Gery's answer slightly put Alexa down.
But certainly did not make his intention to continue this matchmaking receded. All he did was not just out of his obsession to get a man as handsome as Gery, but also for the sake of his family business.
"Of course, I will definitely thank Aunt Weni. It seems he really wants us to get married" Alexa said with a smile growing.
Gery raised his eyebrows when he heard Alexa's speech which he thought was very silly.
"Unfortunately I still don't want to get married. Never mind Alexa, don't talk about marriage. I just came here because I wanted to honor my mom who had been bothered to prepare all this" said Gery who returned to focus on his food.
Alexa pouted a little afterwards, but she racked her brain to keep some interesting chatter between them.
"Ehm, earlier when I came to your office with Aunt Weni, we were confronted by your secretary mas. He's blocking our desire to see you" Alexa starts complaining about Love's actions.
"That's, Love?" ask Gery flat.
"Yes, who else. I understand him anyway, because said aunt Weni he is still new ya work in your office, mas?" ask Alexa.
"Yes, it hasn't been a week" Gery replied.
"So he scolded us, mas. But of course I am not provoked by emotions, I understand that your cooperation must be firm" Alexa said.
"Oh yeah? A girl of love can scold my mama?" ask Gery not to believe it.
"Him? Gentlemanly? Haha. You are really, mas. He even cursed us this morning. And with no idea of his embarrassment he drove us away who obviously came with being escorted by a bodyguard. Fortunately you quickly came, otherwise the bodyguard aunt Weni could have taught her a lesson" complained Alexa full of lies.
"Is it really like that?" gery asked softly, actually he did not believe the words Alexa. It's just, indeed the Love that used to be a fearless tomboy girl.
If he already felt threatened, he would have been defiant. But behind his attitude that is so, actually Love is very good and painstaking.
The proof is that he can lead Gery to recover from his addiction.
"Is it possible that love still remains as it once was? Or is this just Alexa's lie?" gery began to argue.
"Let me check on the cctv later" said Gery still in his heart.
"I'm not lying, man. Seriously, this morning we got kicked out with your pretentious secretary. Don't know him yet that I'm your future wife" Alexa still mendumel to express all her uneg-uneg.
"I think it's too soon for you to interpret our closeness as a bride-to-be. Don't conclude that if I'm willing to be your future husband by having me have dinner with me this time" Gery said firmly, he still wants to fight for his feelings for the Love he betrayed.
And it turns out that fate brought the two of them back together. Gery believes if this is not a coincidence, there must be God's intervention in the love storyline this time
"Can you accept this match, ma'am? If you still don't have feelings for me, at least work for both of our parents" suggested Alexa who still desperately wants to be Subagya's mistress.
"I can't promise you. But don't blame me if you end up getting hurt" Gery said casually, as if without burden. He doesn't even care about Alexa's feelings.
"I'll be prepared for the worst. But I also never dashed hope to expect your willingness to accept this matchmaking" replied Alexa, this girl was very eager to fight for Gery as her husband. For yourself and your family.
And furthermore, Gery is already very tasteful to talk to Alexa. This girl is very ambitious and looks very obsessed to get Gery.
"How about we have some wine before we go home, sir?" Alexa really wants to make good memories with Gery.
"It's not a weekend, and I don't want to mess up my schedule tomorrow if I get drunk tonight. And better yet, now that I'm driving you home" Gery firmly refused.
"Huft, Come on. It's ten o'clock at night. Cook you want to sleep?" Alexa whine.
"If you still want to drink, just do it. But be prepared to go home alone" said Gery, who had raised his hand to ask bill on waitress.
"Heh, okay. Let's just go home" Alexa finally relented, let her try again another day.
Although with a gloomy face, Alexa has been delivered safely to her home.
Without a word to say goodbye, Gery immediately left after making sure Alexa had gotten out of his car. Even the man did not help Alexa to open the door..
Gery's treatment further infuriated Alexa, but of course she must continue to be patient in order to smooth her plan to marry Gery.
"How's Alexa? Your dinner's success tonight?" ask papa Alexa as soon as she sees the princess just come home
"He's very cold, pa. But it seems like my heart is already in love with her, so I will try" Alexa said confidently.
"Move quickly, papa companies really need a lot of funds. Because you and your mama are very fond of fun, papa must take a lot of company funds, especially for your birthday event yesterday" complained Danuarta, papa Alexa.
"For a small event just like that papa is still my equal calculation? I'm a papa's son, isn't it?" alexa whine is very spoiled.
"The problem is, papa's company finances are bad, Alexa. You and your mother can be a little simple" said papa Alexa who was desperate with the behavior of his wife and child.
"Mama too, why come home this late? Love a bad example of girls" said papa Alexa a little furious.
"Why? Papa doesn't like it? If you object, please just lift your feet from this house" reply mama Alexa no less fierce.
Indeed, all the property owned by the Alexa family is the legacy of his mother's family. While papa Alexa used to be an employee in the company of his mother's family who happened to be loved by his mother and was blessed by Alexa's grandfather.
Be papa Alexa bear as a rich man after marrying mama Alexa who is just a puppet, just like Alexa.
"Mama always does, never appreciates papa as the head of the household" said papa Alexa growled, getting older, instead of getting happier but instead getting exposed to inner pressure because of the behavior of his wife and children.
"You've been living a good life should be grateful, and try to maintain and even enlarge my papa company. Not to bankrupt the company. If so, our only hope is Alexa. And since then, I've been in a society with socialite mothers. I am also trying to get close to Bu Weni to launch a plan to marry Alexa to Gery. What are you, pa? What can you do? Basic useless" Mama Alexa spilled all her emotions.
"Let's just go, Alexa" said Mama, pulling Alexa's hand to the second floor.
Actually Alexa always felt sorry when her papa was helpless like that. But he was upset as well if his papa could not fulfill his wish.
And the only way to fix all this is to try hard to be Gery's wife.

In the morning, at Gery's office.
"Love, was it true yesterday that you chased my mother away with harsh words?" Gery stopped Love's finished steps with her task and was ready to leave her room.
"dissipating? Me sir?" tanya Love confirms.
"Sure you, who else?" gery replied indifferently.
"Where dare I drive out my guests? I just reprimanded the brand for a while because I was going to report to you, but they forced you to leave the room before I reported to you. And I could have sworn that I never kicked them out let alone in harsh words" Love recounted yesterday's events in annoyance.
New also known, but the behavior of rich people in this office has made him furious.
"Are you sure?" gery asked once more, though he believed, he just wanted to make Love even more upset. It's funny to see the reddish face of Love restraining anger.
"It's up to you if you don't believe. Can you ask the bodyguard of his mother Gery" said Cinta who is still upset.
Gery smiled small, so small that the Love that had looked at him since could not see it. Then he stood up and walked slowly towards Love who stood up while pouting.
Seeing Gery who walked closer, making Love also walked backwards until hit the handle of the sofa.
With a sincere look, Gery stared fixedly at the eyes of Love to make his own heart beat fast. But not with Love, the woman actually felt uncomfortable because she remembered the incident with Jimmy.
Not many words, Gery just blew the tip of Love's head and scrambled it slowly. Then he held her shoulders and said, "Yes, I believe you. Although everything that comes out of your lips is a lie, then I believe in your lies".
After saying that, Gery turned right and behaved normally. As if nothing happened and back struggling with his laptop that is still on.
While Love is still confused. No one has ever said or dared to do anything like that in his entire life except for one man, Jeje.
The past flashed in his mind, until a clashing sound was heard again.
"You're intent on working or not? Quickly go back to where you are and do your job" snapped Gery although actually not the heart. But he still wants to make Love remember by itself.
"What is the difference between the present and the past? Until he doesn't remember the real me" Gery murmured, too.
"Ehm, yes sir. Sorry" said Love as it passed from the presence of Gery in a hurry.
"Could it?" ask Love in her heart when she is already sitting pretty in her chair.
Until the notification sound on his phone requires him to break his daydream.
Don't forget your obligation to pay the fine, my love.
It's been a week and no word from you.
I missed you, haha
"Basic flirty boss. Still he sucks. Dear God, I hope I can pay that fine soon" muttered Love.
"Ehm, did I borrow Gery sir? But I'm still too new to work here. Can I borrow that much money from the company? Well, dizzy" complained Love that makes his mood so down.
But of course he must remain enthusiastic so that his debt to Jimmy can be paid off immediately.
