The Charm of the Widow
Hoping Much

The day changed, Thalia began to undergo activities as a leader in the Thompson Group company. He who is always accompanied by the husband who is also his personal assistant, looks confident. Thalia learns from her husband and she is serious about learning so she can prove to the people in the company that she is capable of being a leader.

Alexander, who now serves as the second person in the company, can only wait for orders. He did not want to protest with Thalia's new policies. In addition to his guilt for his ex-wife, now Alexander's mind and attention are also divided on family problems.

The mother, who could only sit quietly in a wheelchair, was often indignant and berated Alexander for the shift in power of the son in the family company. Lady Grace also often scolded the princess for reasons that were not clear to make Jean frustrated, increasingly depressed. Now, Alexander's younger brother must be treated in a mental hospital for almost harming the fetus that is still residing in the womb

"What's up, Mr Ben?" alexander asked after picking up his phone. He had just walked out of the meeting room because Thalia suddenly wanted a change of managers who were allegedly involved in a corruption scandal with Alexander's former assistant, Lucas.

"Sorry, Young Master. Just now, there was another waiter who resigned because he could not hear the abuse of Mrs Grace," explained Mr. Ben from across the street.

Alexander sighed violently then massaged the base of his nose. His head really felt very dizzy. Descending office, has made his head dizzy and now the problems in his life are more complex. Not to mention the wife, Sarah, who also acted.

Luckily, Mr. Ben is willing to take care of the mother who is the lover of his mother's personal driver. Alexander's burden is slightly reduced, because there is not a single servant in the mansion who can face Lady Grace who is getting emotional since illness. While Sarah, not at all concerned with all the distress of the husband that eventually Alexander himself.

"All right, Mr. Ben. Later I will call the foundation to send a new servant to the mansion" said Alexander who then hung up his phone call.

The stern-headed man immediately continued his steps to head into his room. However, Alexander's steps came to a halt when Thalia's secretary called out his name. "Sorry, Young Master Thompson. Madame Thalia calls you to her room."

Alexander nodded then turned around, walking towards the president's room which used to be his office. Ameera followed her steps with a gaze full of admiration. Yes, the secretary had always admired Alexander in silence. He did not dare to speak up because Young Master Thompson had a wife.

Thalia's ex-husband immediately opened the door of the president's room and opened it without asking for prior approval from the person inside. He immediately stepped inside without looking inside. Just as he was about to greet Thalia, Alexander's gaze was instantly fixed on the chest-stifling sight.

On the throne he used to occupy, Alexander saw Thalia sitting on Moohan's lap and they seemed to be busy kissing. The man who had a sharp gaze immediately turned around, about to come out while cursing inwardly. "Wr*it! It's also my fault why I didn't knock on the door first!"

"Mr Alexander Thompson, have you come?" Thalia's voice stopped Alexander's steps as the man reached the doorstep.

Alexander turned his back. "Sorry, Mrs Thalia. I forgot to knock on the door" he regretted, looking down, misbehaving.

Moohan immediately got up from the president's seat of greatness, while fixing the retsluiting of his pants right in front of Alexander. I don't know what the TMC boss did with his wife when Thalia's ex-husband hadn't arrived. Thalia's husband then stepped onto the sofa to give the wife a chance to talk to Alexander.

"Please sit down, Young Master Thompson." Thalia pointed at the chair in front of her workbench gracefully.

Alexander didn't sit down right away, he was still sculpting. Thalia's call to her so formal, made her heart ache. The woman who used to adore him so much, now he can no longer touch.

'I'd rather you call me Ale, Thalia, ' she whispered inwardly, stealing the sight of the beautiful woman before her eyes. Yes, he missed Ale's call, the affectionate call of the woman sitting gracefully before him.

Seeing Alexander's attitude, Moohan cleared his throat. "Did my presence here bother you, Mr Thompson?" tanyanya then stood up, ready to leave the wife's room.

Alexander shook his head then nodded, unclear. He then sat down before Thalia. "What's the matter, Mrs Thalia called me?" alexander asked, looking at the ex-wife with an inexplicable look.

Confused, clumsy, and also awkward. It all melded within Alexander. She would rather meet Thalia in a public place, or in a meeting room with other employees. Rather than face-to-face like this that would only make her like a court.

"This has to do with the replacement plan of some of the managers we discussed in the meeting room, Mr. Thompson Young. That's about Lucas, your former personal assistant." Thalia looked at Alexander firmly.

Alexander took a long breath. Remember the discussion of the meeting that brought up surprising findings. It turned out, the personal assistant he had been so trusting of all this time, had stabbed him in the back.

Lucas committed massive corruption in almost every project he entrusted to his former brother-in-law and former assistant. Lucas did not work alone, but he was assisted by several managers who were associated with the projects they were working on. The value of the losses that Alexander experienced personally and also the company, was quite fantastic.

All of that can be revealed thanks to the hard work of Moohan's confidants who some time ago were included as employees at the Thompson Group company, by Uncle Hilbert. Alexander really felt a sense of helplessness. He even had to bear the shame because as the leader must be considered careless.

"Lantas, what should I do, ma'am?" asked Alexander who was currently completely unable to think.

Alexander's mind was deadlocked because of the many problems that came whack. To eat, sometimes he forgets. Luckily, he did not forget how to breathe.

"We're going to sue Lucas, Mr. Thompson. He has to return everything he has taken from the company, which is mostly yours" Thalia said.

"Sorry, Madam. Based on these findings, what Lucas took a lot of was what should be my personal right, right? I think let it go, madam. I've been lazy to relate to him" Alexander replied, uninspired.

He remembered the younger brother who had been hurt in such a way by his former assistant. In light of all, Alexander became so fed up and lazy to meet face to face with Lucas. He even vowed, no longer willing to mention the name of his former assistant.

"But the numbers are huge, Mr. Thompson. With the money, you can even buy some shares of this company and thus, the shares you own will be much larger than we have. You can regain control of the Thompson Group, Mr. Alexander Thompson." Thalia stared in disbelief at Alexander who had suddenly turned into a pessimist.

The man in front, he used to be known as an optimistic and passionate person. Alexander is a hardworking and unyielding figure. The Thompson Group was increasingly fluttering after it was in his hands.

Hearing the long explanation from the ex-wife who seemed to still care about him, Alexander looked at Thalia deeply. "Why don't you hate me and make me fall into poverty, Thalia? Why do you still care about me?" he no longer acted formally.

"Because I'm not a vengeful person, Ale! And I don't want to embarrass my daughter someday!"

'So, you're not doing all this because you still care about me, Thalia?' alexander whispered in a heart that had hoped for a lot.
