"I can't, today I'm very busy in the Office" Xander sergeant rejected the desire of his mother. He doesn't want to take Stella to a party.
"What's so busy? Your Papa's people who told Mama to come here, you don't look for excuses. Anyway, tonight, you should take Stella to the show." Strictly Mistress Rita glanced at her son sharply.
Xander played his mouth, his face looked very upset and Stella understood that.
"Ma, I don't have to come along. Later let Stella keep the house," said Stella did not want her husband to feel burdened with the wishes of her mother-in-law.
"No, you have to go, it's Mama's decision." Said Mrs Rita in an indisputable tone of voice.
Although half-dead, Xander no longer denied his mother's wishes. He does not know why his mother likes Stella so much, but her mother should also hate Stella because she has messed up all her wedding. But strangely, her mother was supportive when she married Stella.
"If you mind, I won't go, '" Stella said as her mother-in-law left.
"Ck, you're a sneaky man. You want to make my mom misunderstand me, don't you?" sergeant Xander approaches Stella, who begins to fear.
"It's not like that, I just don't want to burden you" Stella looked at Xander fearfully.
"Not many reasons. Tonight you have to come, at 7pm I go home and I don't like to be late." Xander stared at Stella sharply before leaving for the Office.

Xander arrived at his office, he was late enough to come to the Office because he woke up late. Not to mention Joana who pulled him back to the bed to split the sweat together. Xander gave a small smile considering the sweet shadow, ah it feels like he wants to go back to see his lover.
"Good morning, sir" Luke said, greeting Xander as soon as he reached his room.
"Yes, how's everything?" ask Xander with his authoritative voice.
"Everything is ready. Mr. Mahendra himself has determined the location" Luke reported.
"Alright, we'll just go straight there" Xander said, tidying up a bit of his appearance before meeting his new client.
He had never met this person before, but his father had advised him. His father said that Mr. Mahendra is the owner of a large company that has branches in various countries. Xander has also learned everything and made sure that this cooperation will definitely be very profitable.
"Good morning Mr. Xander, introduce me to Sam. Mr. Mahendra is already waiting for you in a special room. Let me drop you off" a young man greeted Xander as soon as he arrived at the designated restaurant.
Xander gave a short nod, he was then directed to a special room that had been ordered before. Actually outside is not a problem, but sometimes the atmosphere of a crowded restaurant slightly disturbs their concentration.
Arriving there, Xander's gaze piled on the two people who were waiting. A middle-aged man and a young man. Xander frowned when he saw the figure of the young man, as if he had known him, but where.
"Good day, Mr Mahendra is right?" xander held out his hand.
"Yes, Mr. Xander. It's nice to meet you" Mahendra said, welcoming Xander's hand steadily and firmly.
"Oh, introduce. He's my son, Daniel" Mahendra said, patting Daniel on the shoulder with pride.
Daniel reviews his best smile to Xander who looks so surprised. Now that Xander knows who this guy in front of him is, he's the same guy that Stella was with in the picture yesterday. The look on Xander's face immediately turned upset, he looked at Daniel sharply and examined the appearance of Daniel who was no less cool than him.
"Master?" said Daniel frowned looking at Xander who was just silent.
"Xander Oliver, owner of OLX High Corporation" said Xander welcomed Daniel's hand steadily and firmly. The tone of his voice sounded very arrogant making Daniel raise his eyebrows.
Throughout the discussion of business that morning Xander seemed to lack focus, he instead looked at Daniel who conveyed the company's important points with straightforward language. Honestly as a man, Xander felt quite rivaled by Daniel, but he did not want to admit it.
"How's Mister?" daniel said after finishing his percentage.
"Pretty good, but it seems like I have to study this business more deeply. We have to be careful with new people, right?" sahut Xander raised his chin haughtily.
Daniel frowned more and more, only this time there was someone who said this to him. Though actually the Xander company is still far below his company, only Daniel is currently choosing to lead one of his subsidiaries, not the main company.
Moreover, according to Daniel is quite strange, did they just meet, why Xander seems not to like it. Really weird.
"Alright, if you do object, it doesn't matter if this cooperation is void. We haven't made any deal yet" Daniel said in a casual tone.
Xander narrowed his eyes, not liking the way Daniel seemed to belittle him.
"We'll see" said Xander, smiling a little cynically but not so visibly.
"Alright, I think this meeting is enough. I'll excuse you, if you still want to be here please. Pa, it looks like Daniel has to go, today I have a lunch appointment with my friend," said Daniel folded his laptop and glanced at his Papa.
"Whose friend? What?" Mr. Mahendra smiled guessing who the friend his son meant.
"Later too Papa will know, I'm sorry Mr. Xander" said Daniel bowed as his greeting, he then walked out of the room with a step that could not be separated from Xander's eyes.
Xander's face was so cold, he said goodbye after Daniel left. For some reason, he thought that Daniel would meet his wife, and Xander would not let that happen.
"Luke, we're going back to the apartment!"
Happy Reading's.
