HE IS ME
.... .....
True said Alex, the angry, arrogant and notoriously cold man said if it would not be easy to predict the character of others as long as we are friendly to them.
When you smile, they will smile. Similarly, when you're sad, but actually you won't know how they're behind you.
Not that Alex forbids her to be friendly. But a closed attitude and just showing people who are certainly genuine is better. And Claudia understood in the end, how an Alex very irritable smile and more looks stiff and cruel. But he was basically gentle and attentive, as he felt now.
"Why daydream? I told you, don't like daydreaming about things that don't matter. Use your brain and your time to think about more useful things, hem."
Alex approaches, this afternoon as Claudia plans to return to her own apartment. She will completely re-live her life as Jenita Claudia Andini and will return with her new spirit.
Claudia displayed her sweet smile, staring at Alex who was sipping her coffee. The man simply raised both of his eyebrows in questioning marks. Claudia shrugged her two shoulders. He hoped Alex would get more curious about what he was thinking. But in reality, the man instead switched to playing his phone without caring about Claudia's gaze on him. Shitty right?
Alex just kept quiet and seemed unaffected by what Claudia required. Alex was very curious. Take Claudia for a moment.
"I'm even confused, who to talk to and who to tell. You know, all this time I was close to whoever it was without exception and also never keep their original distance either."
Alex was still speechless, he knew very well of Claudia's noble nature all along. No matter what the difficulty, the girl was still being nice. Very different from Alex's attitude that can never be guessed by others. Alex's chuckles sometimes turn into luck. Behind that attitude is not infrequently Alex is more sensitive to what others need so that the little things he does are quite helpful.
"You knew? I can't even tell which one can really be the friend I can trust as you say. To me all good and they're all my friends." Claudia's sigh that was never the slightest bit willing to keep suspicion. He was just trying to be kind and friendly to everyone and just hoping that others would be just like him. That way there will never be a dispute or even a fight.
"I never forbid you to do it as long as it's good for you. But at least you can keep yourself from the reproach of people who don't think of us as we think of them. The success of others sometimes attracts more attention, but if we want success we can achieve it. But because envy is more dominant sometimes causes people to think short. And even worse, many of them are the people closest to us." Alex emphasized the word a little.
Alex can conclude that the nature of Claudia is not much different from Lydia, the mother. The middle-aged woman was even reluctant to tell her past just for the sake of keeping all the events just for herself. He never knew if it was the scene that befell his daughter.

Andrian smiled to welcome Dira. He who indeed expands the mission given Alex to him must fight hard. At first, Andrian did not want to get involved too far. But in reality she was also targeted because of her closeness to Jenita.
Even without him noticing, some people who often follow him have changed with Alex's people. The man never knew it. But Alex's actions make him believe that the cold and hard man cares a lot. Not only himself, even Marni did not escape from Alex's care.
It was known to Andrian when a few days ago he was picked up Aldi. It was there that he saw the face of the face that was always stalking him even blatantly around him. A little surprised but he finally understood.
"Why not tell me? until I don't judge them wrong." Protest at that time
But with his leisure Alex said that he deliberately and saw his anxiety is entertainment for him. Unimaginable it made Andrian upset and threw a pillow towards Alex which could quickly be fended off by the man until the sound of laughter came out just like that.

"Long time? I'm sorry I had to check the bookkeeping because it's time." Dira took a seat in front of Andrian.
"What's wrong, I just wanted to give you the last sponge recipe Jenita wrote at the time. Just a copy is because the real one is in her office." Andrian handed a piece of paper with a sponge recipe that was last week had made Dira dizzy. The number of sponge orders but no employee knows for sure the size of the manufacture. Because Jenita had only once practiced it in the store.
"Finally, thank you very much. To be honest, I was confused at that time, so I asked Marni to help me here. I'm sure the people who work there are even more skilled than the workers here. But Jenita's decision remains absolute and I can't ask them to change jobs at will."
Andrian nodded, nothing different from Dira's attitude. He still looks ordinary.
"Eh there's chef Andrian." Ayu came with her smile. The woman even took a seat between the two. Andrian just nodded his head. Not much Alex said. But Andrian could guess a little bit the man's intent and direction asking him to help. Just just fishing.
"Just send me the sponge recipe that Jen made auntie. Coincidentally Dira needs it for the benefit of the store."
"Indeed, all Dira should be set. That kid can do it. Just look now, it's been almost 2 not he didn't even come here. Fortunately there Dira until the store can run normally, try if not. It's been confirmed that the shop is closed."
"What the hell ma."
"What mom said was the truth, everyone knows that too. He's just lucky to have an inheritance but never managed it. Fools don't seem to deserve it. Just like her useless mother." The cynic.
Andrian just smiled, he who did not know the details of his problem could not conclude anything.
"Ma, don't talk carelessly. Mama's best to help inside, looks like her guests are crowded. I still have something to talk to chef Andrian." Ayu only snorted but unruffled she stood up and went back inside the store leaving the two.
"I'm sorry, my mom likes it that way." Dira said not feeling good.
"No problem, how do we talk about the report?" Andrian switched the conversation. As per Alex's direction that he only needs to enter little by little.
