"Lexy..." Steve's voice was clear, begging the girl to open the door to her room. Lexi was really sulking after Steve's real statement had no other purpose.
If he knew Lexi would be offended and sulked, Steve would never make a statement about the status of Lexi who was married to Harry. I swear by anything, he doesn't care if Lexi's a widow or not. It's just that he does not deny that he is happy if his favorite woman is still sealed. Men are still men. Lousiness is close friends with men.
"Lexi, I'm really sorry" he said for the umpteenth time. Behind him were a few spectators who seemed to be enjoying the situation very much. Their existence does not help at all.
"Look at you and him hugging before we finally got into the house. What did you tell him so he chose to lock himself up. Looks like it's a sign you and Lexi aren't in a match."
Steve exhaled a rough breath before he turned his body to stare at the face of the person who had just thrown out a sentence that made his mood even worse. Who else if not Pax Willson.
"It seems like you don't want me to be a match for him."
Pax is aiming for the shoulder. "The soul mate only God knows."
"If you can make such a wise word, you shouldn't make such a statement. Why is policy always late."
"You're upset with yourself, why did you take it out on me."
"You're fighting me, old man."
Pax snorted in Steve's disrespectful manner which never seemed to soften to him. There was no sweetness of the man despite his position, Steve was at the Willson residence and the one who was persuaded was his daughter. Is there no intention in Steve's heart to attract the sympathy of his future in-laws to win their hearts. It doesn't seem like it, Pax knows it.
"He called me an old man" Pax complained to his two sons who also joined there.
"He's not wrong." Austin chimed in lazily. In his eyes, Steve and his father were both stubborn. They both have high egos. "You're an old man, Dad." Austin confirmed.
Pax flashed a cynical look at Austin, who cornered him, even as he looked at Darren, as if asking for a defense.
"The age of 50 years and above has indeed entered the category of old, Dad." Darren commented.
"Young people today are not smart to please old people," Pax soon left them. He needs his wife to calm him down.
"Why can Lexi sulk?" This time, Zene asked.
Instead of answering Zinia's question, Steve looked at Harry. Suddenly he felt angry at the man.
"I'm asking you!" Zenia patted his arm and Harry immediately pulled the girl's hand away from Steve.
Steve and Austin compact clucked lazily at the prince's possessiveness. Only Darren did not react. According to him, nothing is wrong. Harry just showed his feelings.
"If you and Harry are getting married, take care of your resignation. That way Leon can find your replacement, unless Harry allows you to keep working with me."
"No! Odelle won't work with you. You can find a replacement."
Steve nodded, "His employment contract should have ended in 2 years. If the Zenia you call Odelle resigns, it means he has to pay a penalty. I'm sure you wouldn't mind paying the fine, Harry. I'll have Leon send the details."
Zinia hit her arm again, and Harry pulled her again.
"Should you count like this, Steve?" Zenia asked ketus.
"Business is still business" this is just a form of Steve's annoyance at Harry who he considers trigger a fight between himself and Lexi.
"Basst duitan's eyes," Austin chimed.
Steve shrugged both of his shoulders, unconcerned by the cheesy statement.
Again and again Darren was just silent, not reacting, because he thought what Steve said was true. Business is business. There are terms and conditions in the world of work. There are principles and commitments. Steve did not sack Zinia, did not mind if Zenia still works despite being married. So, it should have been the one who cancelled the contract paying the penalty.
"You're really annoying!"
"You forgot that annoying is my middle name."
"Since you've been with Harry."
"Hey, this is also part of the renca..." The words Zenia hang in the air. "Ehmm, I'm pregnant. Don't make me mad."
Reflex, Steve lowered his gaze to Zinia's stomach.
"Where do your eyes see, Dude?!" Harry pulled Zenia behind his back.
Harry thought his encounter with Zinia was a very sweet destiny. In fact, it was Steve who deliberately sent Zenia to the Palace. Zinia did not refuse because she had indeed admired Harry's handsome figure for a long time. Steve's prediction did not miss at all that Harry would fall in love with Zenia.
Harry is a gentle man who is very sweet because all this time lived according to the rules of the Palace. Harry needed a figure that could arouse his curiosity and Zinia was the right person.
"Congratulations." Steve patted Harry on the shoulder. "You're great, mighty." Steve gave me one thumb. "Has your divorce papers and Lexi been taken care of?"
"I've cancelled the wedding. The letters will be here soon."
"Anything with the penalty letter you're gonna pay."
"Do as you please!" Harry answered him lazily.
"It's not as I like, Dude. It's in agreement."
"Yes. Yep. I'm waiting for him." Harry shook his hand. Against Steve there will be no win.
The door opened, making all eyes look. Lexi's out with her face bent.
"What are you guys talking about? Business? You care more about your business than you do about persuading me?" the question was clearly on Steve. The man died in style instantly.
"Of course I'll persuade you. By the way Harry said that he took care of your divorce papers. It means we'll get married after that."
Hearing the word married, Lexi's face met instantly. He folded his lips inward, holding his smile.
Steve who saw it immediately seized the opportunity. He approached and grabbed Lexi's shoulder, guiding her out of the doorway.
"What if we talked about where we're going on our honeymoon?"
"We have to get married first before thinking about honeymoon" said Lexi shyly meow while bowing her head.
Aiihh,, Steve was made anxious himself. If there were no Darren and Austin, he would have pulled Lexi back into the room.
Holy hooch! The devil seduced me. Demon ifrit, go you!
Just because his testosterone is problematic, the devil also gets slander from him.
"Oh, of course. What kind of reception do you want?" Steve kept Lexi walking, away from his brothers. They have to leave this house. He just wants to be alone with Lexi. Do a lot of things. After reading to sleep, cooking and being hugged are also quarreling, there are still many fantasies that they have to realize. Steve can't wait to do all that.
"It looks like I don't want any reception, Steven. I just want to be with you. Age together. Enjoy the miracle God gave you. Remembering every moment we do and retelling it while we're in bed getting ready for bed."
"And I will find myself loving you even more because of the many wonderful moments you give me. But, dear Lexi, the rules in bed aren't just that. Not just sharing stories and sleeping. There's a sweet thing that's gonna perfect all that."
"Shut your mouth, Steven."
"Love wildly!"
"Shut your mouth, Steven Percy."
"We're going to sweat."
"The good news is, I'm looking forward to it Steven Percy. Oh my God, marry me immediately, my brutal man!!"
