The Roxena Prison of Love
Chapter 34 Roxena Prison of Love

Roxena came out of her room wearing long keeper pants and a matching, black shirt with her hair draped freely.

Gerald who was already at the dining table frowned. All black like that, Roxena want to work or attend a funeral? But, forget it. It's the style, the style that Gerald can't understand.

Lily serves warm chocolate to Roxena. Lately, Roxena rarely consume alcohol.

Gerald's coffee is half over. The man had breakfast first without waiting for Roxena.

No conversation was made. Only the sound of cutlery intersecting each other.

"Your weekend is empty?"roxena asked after finishing her breakfast and hot chocolate.

"Hm."

"Then clear your schedule for the weekend."

"For what? I think it's hard." Although Gerald has no timetable, he must be on hand in case of an emergency.

"Should I step in?" Roxena raised one eyebrow. Gerald who had replied without looking at Roxena, immediately looked at her with a look of annoyance. The woman in front of him plays the job.

"Hm."

That's approval.

Roxena smiled knot. "Your physics must be strengthened. You should start learning martial arts. At least you should be able to protect yourself."

Gerald felt he had been warned about this. Lily and Sophia, they all mentioned this.

"You have so many enemies why drag me?!"ketus Gerald's.

"You already know the answer" Roxena said casually.

"CK!"

As if it had become a necessity if someone had enemies, then family, closest people, and also loved ones would be a target. The goal is clearly to make the enemy submissive and follow commands in control. Gerald didn't like that. But instead, it was dragged inside.

So sucks. He just wants to live quietly. Work and have a harmonious home. At least before he met Roxena.

Want to see from anywhere, the cause of his life is messy is Roxena. The haughty woman was indeed good at playing with her emotions.

"If I were in the hands of the enemy, what would you do?" Suddenly the question just popped.

Roxena gasped at hearing that. He never thought of getting there. However, the answer was already in his hands. "I'll take their lives!"

Gerald shuddered for a moment. That word is serious. Accompanied by a cold aura that spread. Gerald felt a little claustrophobic. His wife this.

"You'll be up!" In the end, Gerald gave up. Follows how Roxena will be set up.

"I'm late." Gerald. And headed straight for the door without saying goodbye.

"Hm .. is better." Roxena was satisfied with that. At least that sentence has made Gerald say goodbye. Although, it is expected that there will be greetings and sayings until later.

"The following points are some of the cooperation contracts that you must sign. And here are some proposals that have passed the selection. The final decision is in your hands."

Erin gave two blunt files to Roxena. "Which will be signed, have you made sure there are no mistakes?"

"Already, Miss. If you have any doubts, I'll double-check."

"No need." Erin quietly sighed in relief.

"Let me just." Relief that turned to fear.

"Miss, let me!"

"Check the meeting file today. Make sure the data is complete!!"roxena gave me another assignment.

"Good, Miss." With a slightly shaky move, Erin left Roxena's room.

Roxena took a quick glance. Focus on re-checking the contract file.

"Is today going to be overtime, Erin?"roxena asked at lunchtime.

"Your last schedule was dinner with the Chairman of the Elgar Group" Erin replied.

"Eat dinner huh? I want to have dinner at home" Roxena murmured.

"Gee!"

"What's up, Miss?"confused Erin saw the flinched Roxena.

"Erin, you replace me in attendance. Use any crap!"

"But, Miss. Where are you going?"ask Erin to make sure.

"To the house."

A home? The apartment?

"ah! I understand, Miss!"

Erin understood immediately. Roxena smiled satisfied with that.

Hmm. .. You have filled Miss's heart, Sir.

The dining room looks gloomy. The aura came from Roxena who was sitting tightly grasping the knife and forks.

"He hasn't come home yet?" The smile was flashed on Lily and Sophia who had swallowed the saliva in fear.

"That's a good chance you've got a long operation or urgent thing, miss. W-please wait a minute, Miss!" Lily answered.

Usually at this hour Gerald is back unless there is an urgent matter in the hospital. But always go home even though the day has changed.

"Call the bodyguard!"roxena. He put his cutlery back.

I left my last schedule for dinner with him. But, the man was out of nowhere! Goddamnit!

"Master there's an impromptu operation, miss! Just moments ago there was an accident and the victim had to get surgery" Lily explained after contacting Thomas.

"That's …."

"It looks like the surgical department's short on doctors, huh? Or because Gerald is great so he's always reliable? Or because Gerald deliberately wanted to go home long?!" Roxena smiled again. Roxena's smile will do something.

Huff!

"Request Gerald's schedule tomorrow and so on on on those two bodyguards! If they're really just relying on Gerald, I don't have to spend money on people who stand by!"tell Roxena later.

"Good, Miss."

"I'm full. Warm this food when he gets home." Roxena's up.

"But, you haven't eaten-"

Lily's speech was interrupted by Roxena by raising her hand. Not wanting to be disputed.

"There seems to be a heavy thing that Miss is thinking about" Sophia said.

"Hm. There's a lot of responsibility on Miss's shoulders. I hope that man won't trouble Miss."

"You mean Sir?"

"Who else?"

"Haha." Sophia laughed softly. "Let her be said to be Miss's passion."

"You guys haven't rested yet?"asked Gerald who was surprised to find Lily and Sophia in the middle room, as if waiting for him.

"Miss told us to wait for you, Sir. Dinner will be warm in a minute. Please take a step first," said Lily.

"He's home?" Gerald again flinched.

"Yes, Sir."

Gerald nodded small. Not much to ask. Immediately to his room to clean the body then to the dining table. The time is 22:00.

"Did he not eat?"gerald asked as he looked at the many foods on the table.

"So Miss was waiting for you. However, you do not go home" Sophia replied.

"Waiting me?" Gerald again flinched.

Makes me feel guilty, Gerald murmured inwardly.

"Master need not worry. Even though Miss doesn't eat dinner, Miss's stomach won't be empty" Sophia said later.

"Oh."

The wound has not healed completely. Eating a less nutritious diet will slow its healing. Aih, that woman is really driving me crazy!!

Gerald ate with a buana-withering mind thinking of Roxena.

Sir has started to change. I hope this is a good start. Lily smiled broadly.

These guys are pulling. Who will be interested first? Sophia had another view.

At the Lawrence family home. Mr. Lawrence was staring at his little family painting. Family painting in his study. This room was supposed to be Roxena's office as the head of the family. However, since Roxena did not live in this residence, her study was still used by Mr. Lawrence even though she no longer interfered in the affairs of the company.

Many times he breathed rough, as if there was a heavy burden on his chest.

Tok

Tok

The door of the workspace is knocked.

"Lake in!" The strong voice that sounded weak was replying.

"Sir time for oba." It was Lawrence's butler, carrying a tray of medicine and drinking water.

"My body's really weak, huh?" Mr. Lawrence smiled bitterly. Immediately swallow those big pills. There are 4 pieces.

"I was expecting it. However, it did not occur to be this severe."

Mr. Lawrence sat on the sofa. The butler showed a sad face.

"I'm really a poor, pathetic old man. Although I have Xena who is the pride of the family, in fact I am a kara. After becoming the head of the family, he no longer came to this residence. Then, my son who was born by mistake was no longer there either. Aren't I a very pathetic person?"

"Is this my karma? A mistake that impacts a lifetime? I just hope a little, a little attention from Xena, I'd love to see a twinkle as she looks at me first. I just want to, hold her tight like I used to. But, reality ruthlessly slapped me. Even though I gave it my all, his hatred for me didn't fade."

The once tough old man now looked down helplessly. A sick body and a depressed mind. That guy, really pathetic.

"Tell me, is it that on top of this karma, I still have a chance?"ask Mr. Lawrence later. He raised his gaze. Glimmer hope. He hoped the butler would answer "yes".

The butler sighed softly. "Nothing is impossible, sir. Don't surrender. Perhaps this is your greatest opportunity after a vacuum from corporate affairs" the butler said.

"really? How's it?" Mr. Lawrence has lost his way to get Roxena's heart again.

"Hard rock perforated by water droplets. You should approach Miss with another approach, sir. With small things that might have a big impact," replied the butler.

The father and son rarely met. If you meet, it's just a formality. At least not for Mr. Lawrence.

"You mean?"

"Little things a father does. Miss lost her childhood, sir. What I mean is outside the position of Miss now because actually the position belongs to Miss. Miss loves Madam very much. And Madame-"

"Enough!!"

"Don't talk about it anymore!" Mr. Lawrence rubbed his face rough.

"Little things? Isn't it too late for that? Xena is 30 years old, she is already very mature," doubted Mr. Lawrence. It turned out that he was listening to the butler's advice.

"The adult does not necessarily lose the side of his children, sir," replied the butler with a smile.

"Is that so, huh?"

"alright. I will fight again to get Xena's heart!"

That is, a father's struggle to get sorry and the princess's heart begins. Fighting, Mr. Lawrence!
