Poorly Forgotten Secretary
Hangovers
After hanging up the phone from his mother, Alex suddenly felt so sleepy. What the hell's going on? thought confused.
Last night, not even a little drowsiness that could perch in his eye fertilizers. But now, after giving a short and impulsive decision that He promised the Mother, suddenly his eyelids are like being hung by ten tons of weights each that make it difficult to stare at the screen of his phone clearly.
Whether talking to his mother and giving her perfunctory suggestions to himself to immediately move on from his materialistic ex-fiancee, is really able to help ease the pain in his heart and also calm his mind, so that he is so sleepy now?
I don't know... Alex himself does not really understand the science of psychology that way. But clearly, he still had to maintain his consciousness for a while to contact his Manager.
"Hold, Lex! Hold it in a minute!" he told himself. "Hold until you're done asking permission off for today" he added.
But so powerful he glared at the row of letters qwerty on his phone screen, for the sake of typing a message to the manager of his modeling agency, for example, Alex chose to call his manager immediately and asked him to postpone the entire job today for reasons of poor health.
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
Hi, Dale
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Alex? Are you that?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
Yes, Dale. It's me, Alex Levine. One of your favorite models.
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Oh, my God, Lex what happened to your voice? You sound..terrible, horrible!
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
And I'm sure my looks are even more terrifying. I dare not look in the mirror today
📱DALE NEWTON'S
God, what's wrong with you, Lex?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
Me, I'm not feeling well, Dale. So I called to ask if you could give me a day off?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
A holiday? Today then?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
Of course today, Bro! I hurt today! What do you mean I have to keep working with my condition like this?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Haha. Sorry, Lex. But I have to keep checking your schedule first, and if there is a schedule that cannot be delayed, you have to live it no matter how you are
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
You psychopath, Dale!
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Yeah-yeah, whatever. But this is how I work, and you're under contract as much as I know
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
All right, check it out! I'm not strong enough to talk
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Waita minute! Mm... Oh, thankfully there is nothing urgent from your schedule today and even until tomorrow. So I can give you two days off, Lex. Are you satisfied?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
Very satisfied, Dale. Thanks a lot
Alex smiled with relief and without a second thought he immediately grabbed his pillow, Alex fell asleep immediately after his last sentence.
His battery was completely drained and the man fell asleep without warning, even without saying goodbye to his Manager who was still talking from across the phone.
📱DALE NEWTON'S
All right, now I'm going to rework your two-day schedule with the sponsors. Rest as much as today and tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow I'll pick you up early in the morning, okay?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
.._____....
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Hello, Lex? Are you still there?
📱ALEX LEVINE'S
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Basic, Alex! She's already asleep
While grumbling, Dale Newton—sang Manager finally hung up his phone.
Meanwhile... Jake Chiper was on his way to Alex's apartment when a phone came in on his phone attached to a holder on the dashboard. Jake glanced briefly at his phone beside the steering wheel of the car, while continuing to try to focus on the highway before him.
Jake hurriedly pressed the receiver button when the name of Dale Newton—manager who is also Alex's manager, appeared on the screen.
📱JAKE CHIPER
Speak, Dale! I was driving
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Where you going?
📱JAKE CHIPER
To Alex's house, why?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Oh, thank goodness you're going to Alex's. I was just gonna send you there
📱JAKE CHIPER
Waitaminute! Why why anyway? You know anything about Alex?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
He just called me asking for a day off. He said he was sick, and from his voice I heard it seemed to be true. I mean, it doesn't seem like she's making up about her pain for the sake of asking for a day off
📱JAKE CHIPER
What do you mean by making it up? Where ever Alex lied to someone, especially just for the sake of skipping work
📱DALE NEWTON'S
I know. I know, sorry.
📱JAKE CHIPER
You owe Alex an apology, man, not me. What happened to Alex's voice?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Okay-okay, I'll apologize to Alex later. Well, his voice is very bad. Horrifically. Fuses and setandus of the sahara desert
📱JAKE CHIPER
What then? You gave him a day off, didn't you?
📱DALE NEWTON'S
Sure oes. You think I have no sense of humanity? I gave him—no, I mean give you two two days off. Because in the next two days the schedule is just a combo schedule for you two, so if Alex has to take a day off, then so do you. Enjoy it, Jake, and please take care of Alex for me, okay.
📱JAKE CHIPER
Sure, Dale. No need to ask me I will
Jake immediately increased the speed of his car as soon as he hung up the phone from the manager. What the hell happened to you, man? Jake wondered while being overwhelmed with worry for his best friend.
Twenty-four hours later...
Alex felt his body stiff, his head throbbing as if someone was hitting him with a sledgehammer right at the same point over and over again. His memory was drowned, and vaguely.
Alex tried to raise his body to lean on the side of the bed. He squeezed his own temple, trying to ease the painful throbbing he felt.
The face of his former fiancee—Luna, flashed a moment in his head, followed by the scream of the woman, then his mother's voice also gaped with words that are quite long. Slowly but surely, Alex was finally able to recall what had happened to him before.
Itchy tickling Alex's throat. He coughed a few times as his throat dried up. Without looking, he extended his hand to the nightstand to reach for the glass of water that he always put there. Instead of being able to reach the glass in question, Alex instead accidentally nudged the glass until it fell to the floor and broke.
The noise made Alex's head throb even more. Both hands held his head at the same time. Feeling unable to do anything, Alex resigned to his condition at that time. Alex's body that was in a leaning position finally collapsed sideways into the middle of the bed.
Suddenly, Alex's bedroom door opened wide from the outside. Jake butts in, jumps up on Alex's bed and yells at him, "Alex wake up, don't die, man! Don't leave me!" jake shouted while shaking Alex's weak body like it was lying down.
"Shut up, Jake! Shut the fuck up or I'll kick you out of here" Alex threatened in a hoarse voice.
Jake backs off, both hands raised reflexively—position of surrender, "You're not dying are you, Lex?" asked the handsome man innocently.
"I'm just a hangover, stupid," Alex replied upset at the remnants of his strength that still exists.
