Poorly Forgotten Secretary

Poorly Forgotten Secretary
Good News for Roxanne


After his fight with Luna Gross at last night's party, which resulted in the breakup of the engagement relationship between him and Luna, Alex whose emotions were still mixed up awake all night in his apartment room.


Alex could not remember how he got to where he lived, and I don't know how many cans of beer he spent to erase all the anger and disappointment he felt.


Dozens of incoming phone calls from Jake were not touched at all. Even the short messages that Jake sent him overnight were only left to fill his cell phone's memory without any desire to respond in the slightest. Although some of them are still read, some are not.


📩JAKE CIPHER


Alex, where are you? I've been waiting at our appointment point


📩JAKE CIPHER


Hey, Dude. Were you accidentally drunk somewhere? Tell me your location, I'll pick it up


📩JAKE CIPHER


Alex!!! Someone saw you leave the party. You left me alone? Hows...


📩JAKE CIPHER


Please don't worry me, Buddy. You're all right, right?


📩JAKE CIPHER


Did you go back to your apartment? Please! Hope you didn't have an accident on the road


Until almost noon, Alex could not close his eyes. His face was as pale as paper, making the dark circles around his eyes become very clear.


Alex stared blankly at the ceiling of his room, his memory floating back to the moments when he asked Luna Gross to be his lover, about six months later, he knelt down before the woman to propose to her.


Yes, an Alex Levine kneels in front of Luna Gross at a fancy restaurant in California. Alex laughed miris. Laughing at her stupidity in choosing a woman to love.


A phone ringing again interrupted his daydream. Alex snatched his phone from the middle of his very wide bed. He looked at the screen where the contact of the mother's name flickered there. Alex glanced at the digital clock in the corner of his phone screen.


Oh, it's been this session apparently. Alex muttered as soon as he saw the number nine over ten minutes plastered there.


Alex cleared a few times to recover his voice first. He realized, all night staying up late while spending cans of beer must make his voice chaotic. Not wanting to make the mother worried, Alex just received a phone call made by Roxanne Levine after being confident enough that her voice sounded okay.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Good morning, Ma.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Morning, Son. How are you, Lexi?


Did you wake up from earlier?


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Hmm, yeah. That's how I woke up, Mom, and I'm good news as always. What about mom?


Alex lied about his situation, again so that the mother would not worry. Unfortunately, Roxanne's ears are too sensitive not to pick up on the 'not okay' signal from Alex's voice. But the woman chose silence to see the extent of the 'not okay' situation experienced by the son only wayangnya through lies made Alex.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


I'm also mediocre, son. Do you have a job today?


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


No. gabe. No, Madam. Today I'm off so I'm just gonna clean up my apartment.


Aha, Alex's answer just now was enough to convince Roxanne that her son is indeed not in good shape.


In fact, on weekends like this, Alex's work usually piles up, but just now, his son said that he was off. So Roxanne guessed whether Alex was forced to be put off for something or preferred to relax in order to avoid something.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Oh, so...


Roxanne's casual answer gave her brain time to work quickly and suddenly an idea was present in the middle-aged woman's head.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


When are you going home, son?


Alex frowned for a moment before answering his mother's question.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Why, Mom? Is there a problem?


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Mm, I just feel like I'm retiring, Lex, and I might sell the company to some of the interested groups that want to acquire Levine Enterprises, if you don't plan on being my successor leading our company.


DEG! Alex gasped at the confession. He could not believe, his mother who was still so agile at work suddenly decided to retire. Andwhat? Selling the company to another party? Their company? Alex couldn't believe it.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


But in fact only one word was able to be ejected from his mouth.


Nice, Lex. You're a complete loser. Not only was she dumped by a heartless woman, now you can't help your own mother either? You're amazing, Lex. Alex cursed himself in his heart.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


But of course I won't just sell it. I'll wait for your approval because you own half of Levine Enterprises' stock.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Yes, I know that, Mom.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Alright, Son. Ambrosia was waiting for me. Your mother has to go back to work even on weekends like this. Take care, okay!


Roxanne throws her best pass at the right moment. Now he can only hope that his only precious son can soon be entangled in the bait.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Wait, Mom! Mm...


Alex tepekur's. He worried for a moment. He felt he would be very sorry if they had to lose the company, given how the history of the development of Levine Enterprise pioneered by his two grandfathers who joined forces for the future of their grandchildren, he said, then the struggle of his father and mother to build the family business to be as big as it is today.


Alex's memory also goes back to the sacrifices of the many people involved in keeping Levine Enterprises standing to this day. Alex was ashamed of himself. He was ashamed as a child. When his mother struggled alone to build the company, he was slumped in his apartment room only because of a woman ******.


Alex closed his eyes, trying to suggest to himself that there was no time for slumping, let alone just because of a shameless woman like Luna Gross. He must rise up and prove to his former fiance that Alex Levine is not an ordinary man. He is the only heir of Levine Enterprises.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


What's up, Lex? What do you want to say?


Roxanne was instantly confused as Alex suddenly snorted—tak continued his words.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Maybe I'll go home, Mom. I want to try out the position you're offering. But can I get a trial session first?


Here goes! choke Roxanne in the heart with heart palpitations.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Are you sure?


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


Yes, Mum. I'm so sure!


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Okay, Lex. We'll talk in more detail if you're in Sydney, my son.


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


I'll tell you when I'm coming home.


📱ROXANNE LEVINE


Very well.. I'm waiting for you, son! Take care!


📱ALEX LEVINE'S


You too, Mom. Watch yourself!


"YESH!!! WELL DONE!!!" pekik Roxanne girly. He almost jumped up and down if he did not remember that he was wearing heels and did not want to sprain because of his own ridiculous behavior.


"Are you okay, Mama? I'm here to tell you that I've got the private detective you need. Just wait for your next order, Roxy," reports Ambrosia with his usual poker face.


Instead of answering the question of his flagship secretary, Roxanne who was still excited because of Alex's approval to try to learn to become the leader of Levine Enterprises, instead immediately hugged Ambrosia to make the girl gawk so shocked.


Ambrosia really did not think he would even get a close hug from the boss in the morning like this. Though he deliberately entered the President Director's room to inform him that he had found a competent private detective, until Ambrosia found Roxanne was on the phone with her son, and decided to wait.


"Pending that assignment for the detective, Ana, just delay! Because there was more to it than that now," Roxanne let go of her embrace but still held both arms of Amnrosia and took the girl around in circles like the Merry Go Round in a playground.


"And if I may know, what's more important than that detective's job, Roxy?" Ambrosia asked as she corrected the sagging and sloping location of her glasses after Roxanne stopped taking her around in circles.


"The important news is... Alex is coming home, Ana. Can you imagine that? My son is coming home to learn to take my place as the leader of Levine Enterprises. I feel like I've got my Christmas present this year" Roxanne cheered.


Ambrosia's two big eyes rounded increasingly wide, she was shocked by what she heard. Wait up! If Alex Levine is to replace Roxy in the lead of the company, then in the future, he will no longer work under Roxanne Levine, but Alex Levine. Is that so? Ambrosia that is quick to respond directly can reason the future path that will be faced.


And all of a sudden the idea sounded really bad for the secretary's flagshipAmbrosia Heart. Very.very... LT'S BAD!
