This morning Roxena woke up before sunrise. Her fever had already dropped and Roxena felt her body filled with energy. However, it does not necessarily eliminate the pain of his latest wound.
Roxena looked at herself in the mirror reflection. Looking at his body that was filled with wounds and scars. Roxena touched her latest wound that was still wrapped in bandages.
"Lately my enemies have gotten bolder" Roxena murmured. The attack last night was carried out by Erin and has gained clarity. The perpetrators of the attack were a disgruntled group as their client fled to the Light and Shadow organization. Roxena ordered to immediately annihilate the group. In an instant the group had already stayed in name with the leader who was in Roxena's grip on the Light and Shadow headquarters.
Today Roxena plans to take the leadership's own life. His hands were already itching to return stained with blood. Roxena's devil smile.

Roxena was a little surprised because Gerald was still in the dining room, enjoying his breakfast quietly and seemed undisturbed by his presence. Usually, at this hour Gerald is no longer in the apartment. And there was no stare of cynicism, sharpness, and also hate.
"Do you still have a fever?"gerald asked, staring at Roxena flat.
"Yes?" Roxena felt her hearing was problematic.
What's wrong with this guy?
"Are you deaf? It looks like your brain is getting more troubled after a fever," Gerald said, appearing already his scathing words. However, there was no hate from his gaze.
Gerald was a man who was very unhappy to have to repeat the question. Gerald is cold and hard to socialize with new people. It is also known for its spicy mouth. Honestly expressing displeasure. The man is a person who has difficulty controlling facial mimicry. His heart and expression always kept in line.
"If you're curious, just check it out for yourself" Roxena replied, extending her right hand to Gerald.
Gerald stared alternately at Roxena's outstretched face and hands. Gerald then stood up and approached Roxena. Stretched out his hand touching Roxena's forehead.
Receiving the treatment, Roxena was shocked. It froze. His brain responds slowly.
Why suddenly change? What tricks are you playing, Gerald?
"It's not fever." Gerald pulled his hand.
"Why ask that? Don't you care if I die or not?"ask Roxena coldly. Gerald sat back down.
"I will bear the sin of letting a patient die without any help. I'm doing my job as a doctor" replied Gerald, again enjoying his breakfast.
Roxena held her forehead. "really?" Not believing it just like that. Usually, he is always threatened to perform the duties of a doctor to him.
"There is no specific reason. You're my boss anyway." Gerald replied calmly.
"Isn't it because I'm your wife?"ask Roxena.
Gerald looked back at Roxena. "Maybe" he answered without giving any certainty.
Roxena smiled. "Erin didn't pick me up today. Take me to the company first" said Roxena.
"Me"
"Yes?" Roxena raised her eyebrows when she heard Gerald was about to say something but did not.
"All right." Gerald smiled. Roxena's getting weird. Nevertheless, his heart was pleased.

"When did you use this car?"roxena asks when she finds out Gerald used the white car she gave him first.
"About a week ago," replied Gerald. Get in the car first. Thomas as the driver is already in there. And Jack waited for Roxena to come in.
Roxena reviewed a satisfied smile. And get in.
"How do these two people work?"ask Roxena. The car has gone.
For Jack and Thomas, the atmosphere was very pressing. They are being impromptu by the supreme leader, hoping Gerald doesn't hold any grudges against them.
"There are no complaints" replied Gerald, looking straight ahead.
"I'm doing fine. No complaints."
Thomas and Jack quietly breathed a sigh of relief as Gerald's answer did not change.
Roxena breathed. "All right then."
Roxena then opened the tablet. The rest of the journey was drowning in work. Gerald occasionally glanced.
As expected?
"You two." Thomas and Jack were tense for a moment. They have just arrived in front of a skyscraper that with a modern, main building Lawrence Group.
"Yes, Miss." Answer rigid.
"If anything happens to my husband, your life is at stake!!"roxena. Affirming that the two bodyguards must guard Gerald with their lives.
"M-understand, Miss." Both of them still sucked in answering because they were trembling.
"And you're Gerald." Gerald looked at Roxena. His eyes were calm.
"Forget it." Roxena then got out of the car. Without looking back directly into the lobby of the building.
What's he gonna say?

"Good morning, Miss." Erin greeted Roxena in her room.
Roxena nodded briefly. Sit in his big chair.
"Miss, how's your wound?"erin asked, worried.
"It's getting dry" Roxena replied. Turned on laptop.
Erin breathed a sigh of relief. "Miss, I've made arrangements for you. From this second on, you should be closely escorted by the chosen bodyguard. Can not be far from the bodyguard if it is outdoors," said Erin, dusty and also have made a decision.
"That's not necessary, Erin," Roxena refused.
"No rejection, Miss. After all I think you're the only President who rarely carries bodyguards. Miss, your identity is not arbitrary. Must show domineering authority!"oceh Erin, convince Roxena.
Roxena nodded slowly. "Erin, you said as if you didn't know anything. And I don't need a bodyguard to be a display. Dominate? I've had enough myself!"
"But, Miss! You've been hurt a lot lately!"refute Erin. Although Erin's martial will was capable, it still could not protect Roxena.
"It's hurt. It means I'm negligent. Besides, I'm sitting in front of you without one less. There's nothing to worry about."
Roxena then stood up, approaching Erin whose eyes were reddened. "Shutt! Its alright. Don't fret. I just need you next to me, Erin."
Roxena gently rubbed the top of Erin's head. A shady smile he showed Erin.
Erin moved. Instantly he cried. "Huwah! Miss, hiks .. hiks. Forgive me for not being competent to look after Miss. Hiks, I'm still too weak. I am under the protection of Miss. Hicks, Miss…."
Erin hugged Roxena. "Then what if training is with me?"bargain Roxena.
Erin opened her eyes straight away. And instantly took off the hug and took a few steps back.
"No need, Miss. I've found my own way of training." Erin gulps. Nervous and scared. He often heard that many members no longer want to be trained by Roxena. From what Erin had heard, her training was inhumane. With the motto "Beyond the Limit or Passing the Limit".
Erin shudders. Undare. However, Roxena did not release him. "Is it more effective than my training?"
"N-Miss." Erin cornered.
"Hehe. I've decided. We'll be training together starting this Sunday. Erin, you don't run, ya!"
"N-Miss!" Erin gulps. He shuddered. While Roxena returned to her seat with a wide-flowing smile.
