Love That Pain
Cooperation offer

Zaki tries to stay calm, his goal coming to the place is not to make a fuss, but rather conveying Veon's message to offer cooperation with his company. Zaki took a breath and threw it away slowly, he then stepped his foot into Alex's room.

Alex wrapped his arms around Chelsea's waist, he then kissed the woman's temple, “there's a wind what Mr Zaki came to my office.”

“Can we talk while sitting?”

Alex pretends to pat her on the forehead, “astaga! I'm sorry, I was too focused on my wife, so I forgot to let you sit down.” The man then lowered his hand from his wife's waist, “mari please sit.”

Alex and Zaki stepped onto the couch, they landed their bodies on the couch, but not Chelsea, he still didn't budge from his place.

“Honey, you so go home or wait for me until I finish my work?”

Zaki looked at Chelsea who were still standing in place, but he immediately decided his gaze as Chelsea stepped into his place and Alex sat down. Chelsea sat next to Alex.

“What brings Mr Zaki to come to my small office?” Alex embraces Chelsea's shoulders.

Zaki tries to stay calm, he will not be affected by anything Alex did to Chelsea, “I came here on the orders of Mr. Veon.”

Alex scrunched his forehead, “why did my sister-in-law send you here?” tanyanya.

Zaki retrieves files from inside his briefcase, “Tuan Veon offers cooperation with your company.” The man then gave the files to Alex.

Alex received the files, he opened them and read carefully, “are you serious?” Alex doesn't believe Veon has him working together to handle the panting tender.

“You please read the files first, after that you can contact me or directly go to Mr. Veon's office for your decision.” Zaki then moved from his seat, “sorry, I can not linger, then I excuse me.” Zaki reached out his hand, and Alex immediately welcomed Zaki's helping hand, “hopefully we can cooperate well.”

Zaki let go of that hand department first. The man then glanced at Chelsea, he brushed off his smile, and Chelsea returned that smile. After that Zaki came out of Alex's room.

“Lex, what is it? cooperation, what does it mean?”

“Your sister offers a very profitable cooperation for my company.” Alex reads again carefully the files given by Zaki, he still does not believe, luck is now on his side.

“Why sister offer this cooperation with you?” Chelsea looked so curious, as far as she knew, her brother hated Alex so much. Especially considering Alex's treatment of her brother in the past, “doesn't my sister hate you so much?” tanyanya.

“I don't care about all that, I won't waste this great opportunity.” Alex then clasped Chelsea's hand, “you support me right, if I accept this cooperation offer?”

Chelsea nodded her head, “I will always support you,” he said with a smile on his face.

It's the first time Alex has seen Chelsea's sincere smile, “thank you,” he said as he hugged Chelsea very tightly. Alex even forgets the mission he and Betrand had planned.

Chelsea then let go of the hug, “then I go home first, I do not want to interfere with your work.”

“You want me to drive home?” eventually Alex offered to drive Chelsea home, but Chelsea rejected him.

“Not that you said there was an important meeting?”

Alex cursed himself who had uttered such excuses, and it instead made him fail to be with Chelsea, he also couldn't possibly lick his own spit, “I forgot, ' he said, then I'll order a cab? Or I told Betrand to take you home.”

Chelsea shook her head, “I better take a taxi, because I all want to stop by the house of Vika.”

“Then you go home carefully.”

Chelsea nodded her head, she then stepped her foot out of the room.Alex was actually not willing to let Chelsea go from the room, but he was also unlikely to forbid Chelsea to leave the place.

“Darling, actually I still miss you a lot, but I have to stick around a little longer.”

When Chelsea came out of Alex's room, he ran into Betrand. There is something Betrand wants to talk to Chelsea about, and Chelsea are forced to follow Betrand's will.

Betrand took Chelsea to a restaurant, it was a restaurant they used to frequent along with Alex and Vika.

“Chel, do you remember this restaurant?” Betrand spread his gaze across the restaurant.

“Why did you bring me here? are you sorry you left Vika? It turns out that you are the same as Alex, but still mending Alex, he still wants to take responsibility for his actions, unlike you, dumping Vika just like that!”

Betrand sighed, “you only know it's from Vika, but you don't know why I did that.”

“For a guy like you still have a reason to defend yourself!”

“I admit, my decision to leave Vika was wrong, but I had no other choice. If I hadn't left Vika back then, maybe now Vika wouldn't have been able to smile like she is today.”

“You don't know if the smile that Vika showed was just fake? He tries to stay strong, facing the destruction of his life alone.”

“That's better, than she had to endure embarrassment for the rest of her life.”

Chelsea rounded her eyes, “what do you mean?”

“Papa I already know everything, about who the two parents Vika. It turns out that Papa is her dating friend Mama Vika. Papa has branded Mama Vika as a cheap woman. If until Papa indulges in the vika family's ugliness, then Vika's life will be further ruined from this. Therefore I received the matchmaking, although I was very hard to release Vika.”

Betrand stopped his words as the waiter came to put down their order's food and drink. After that the waiter resigned.

“If you really love Vika, you must protect her, not dump her and die with a wound in her heart.”

“I know, and I deeply regret it. Therefore I need your help.”

“What help do you mean?” tanyanya's confused.

“I have contacted Vika several times, but she did not want to pick up the phone from me at all, nor did she reply to the chat I sent. I want you to help me to meet with Vika.”

Chelsea laughed, “are you crazy? Do you want to hurt Vika again?” tanyanya.

“It's not like that, I just want to apologize to Vika for what I've done so far. You just want to give Alex a second chance, I'm sure Vika will also give me a second chance.”

“Don't compare you to Alex! You are married, while Alex wants to change and want to be better.”

Betrand laughed, “but are you sincerely giving Alex a second chance? Have you appreciated everything Alex has done for you? Would you accept Alex sincerely as your husband?” the man then folded his arms around his chest, “then now what difference do you make with me? I want to get Vika again, and I admit my mistake, but you want to accept Alex but you don't appreciate her at all as your husband.”

Chelsea felt her voice choked in her throat, she could not at all refute what Betrand said, she could not deny it, because everything the man said was all true. Even until now she has not been able to accept Alex as her husband completely.

“Why are you silent? What I said is all true?” guess it.

“You don't have to interfere with my household affairs with Alex, it's my personal business!” emphatically.

Betrand smiled cynically, “Alex is my best friend, so I won't let him get hurt. And you have to remember this one thing. All of them have limits on patience, and Alex is included. Maybe until now Alex can still be patient, but if Alex's patience has reached its limit, then you will start to regret everything. I know what Alex has done to you isn't easy for you to forgive, but you promised to give him a second chance, and it makes Alex again have high hopes to be with you again, but it turns out you are just playing with him.”

Chelsea moved on from her seat, “I don't want to hear your nonsense anymore, better I leave this place before my emotions get overflowing.” The woman left Betrand, she did not even touch the food and drink she had ordered.

“Lex, I've done my part, now it's your turn to do your part. If you get crushed in front of Chelsea, then forever he will trample your self-esteem. Forever Chelsea will never appreciate you as her husband.”
