HE IS ME
...... ......
Being strong is not just a dependable physical. More mental and heart. Claudia is well aware of how she would be if she was back in town C. Maybe it will be the same as at the beginning of her coming as Jenita or even worse. But of course all that will not make his intentions recede.
"Two weeks later Andrian will return to this city. My dad is going on a business trip abroad. He would not want to go home in his place. That means you'll be alone in C. I haven't been able to accompany you, there are some important meetings that I have to attend and that I can't delay anymore because I've delayed that time." Alex dissected his words for the sake of staring at the clear bead in front of him.
"I just want you to always be on the lookout for everything, which. No matter who and for what reason. The most important thing is to prioritize your safety before acting. There are my people who will take care of you. But of course you understand that they also need rest and can't take care of you for 24 hours." Continue while gently grasping Claudia's fingers sitting in the apartment.
The plan is tomorrow afternoon Claudia will leave for the city of C with Rendi who will be the driver. It wasn't just Alex who wouldn't let Claudia drive herself, but Mama Lidya too. The busyness that Alex really could not avoid.Mendakan That as the initial reason why he made a scenario with Andrian at that time, without involving Jenita first. Until when all is ready, both Alex and Andrian can both explore their roles and help each other. But everything changed with the keukuhnya Jenita to immediately leave for the city of C.
"I know, you don't worry. I'll take care of myself as best I can." Claudia smiling. It is undeniable that he also misses his friends, namely baking pans, flour and eggs as well as his guards. It feels impatient to want to re-process the dough and decorate it with very beautiful.
"I still have a meeting this afternoon. But tonight I'll come again. I'll accompany you here."
Claudia nodded, she would not be able to resist or fight the man who was holding her tightly. A little understanding of Alex's character makes Claudia no longer a lot of comments as long as all is still at reasonable limits. For him, the cold and angry man is not as scary as before. Already seen many smiles on his lips even though only a glance.

"Do you know what your job is?" Andrian who did the morning briefing at the shophouse where Claudia production asked about the work and also the complaints that came in. Same as the concept at the beginning. Jenita emphasized to give a positive response to comments, and suggestions of consumers. Also accept criticism as a learning stage for them in order to develop ideas as desired by consumers.
"Leny and Anti, any questions?" He then looked at the two women who had only two days to join work there.
"You understand chef." Answer both
Andrian nodded, the handsome chef then asked everyone to go back to work, while he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall many times.

Exactly at 11 noon saw a white car enter the courtyard of the shophouse. A beautiful woman with her sunglasses got out of the car.
Smile embedded in her tiny lips while stepping her feet into the shophouse. Marni who saw someone enter immediately approached.
"Good day, sorry miss there is something we can help you with?, but sorry in advance because here only accept orders in the form of orders, then there is only a catalog. As for the more complete sponge and cake are in the main store." Martha explained.
It is true, shophouses that have been widened still have the same function as a production house. All the dough made in the shophouse is an order that will be sent immediately once ready. As for the displays they never provide them. Because everything will be redirected back to the main store.
"Oh, please. But I'm sorry if the place doesn't deign because it's a production place."
The two walked with Marni who again chatted trying to explain about the products they made, especially sponge. All went well until Andrian came out of the broiler with sweat soaking his forehead. A little surprised but finally a smile expands on the lips of the handsome chef.
"Jen, are you back?" His smile made Marni stare inexplicably.
Jenita smiled for a moment and then opened her sunglasses. At once Marni also screeched while closing her mouth. In disbelief the woman saw the woman standing next to her was Jenita. Long hair that decomposes without super thick glasses that used to always be worn makes Jenita look different. Marni was still staring in disbelief even though a drop of tears flowed, the woman still looked shocked. How not, for approximately two months he cursed himself for what befell Jenita until the girl disappeared to cultivate a huge guilt.
Although Andrian had asked him to remain calm and no longer think much but because Jenita had not been able to see, then the sense remains in Marni's mind.
Jenita approached and hugged Marni tightly. The security wife he trusted to guard his shophouse was powerless to hold back tears. Andrian chose to enter the newly created pantry room as a place for employees to rest. There are already special employee chillers and stoves.
He took orange juice and three glasses to take her to the room where Jenita and Marni are now. They chatted for a while before Marni was back in the bus with some orders that were ready to be packed. Until now there are both of them.
"How was your trip?"
"Lumayan tiring, but fortunately Rendi can be invited to tell a story so I still have friends to chat."
"Alex has everything ready. The most important thing now is that you need to be more careful and vigilant. We never know who's behind them."
"I know, later after lunch I plan to go straight to the main store. I haven't checked it in a long time, I hope everything's okay."
"Have you contacted Dira?" Andrian asked as he drank his juice that stayed half to the toilet.
"No, I deliberately didn't tell anyone about my arrival. I want to see how they look." Jenita smiled knot.
"Then I can't lose that moment." Andrian chuckling.
Alex's setup is very simple but all hit right on their respective targets. From the expression alone can be seen which one is really happy or just. It was a pretty simple start, and Jenita just understood that.
"Your betrothed is occupied in all fields. His brain is incapable of defeating him. You're lucky to get it."
Jenita just smiled in response to Andrian's words that were true. But the term fiancee is only because of the agreement between the two of them. As for love, neither Alex nor Claudia have ever discussed it seriously.
