Francisca's POV
At 4 a.m., I woke up, and the sky was still dark. This is nothing new for me to wake up when the sun hasn't appeared. However, today is different than usual because today is my first day working as a secretary. I had prepared the best work clothes I had last night, and I did this so I wouldn't have to worry in the morning.
Because I didn't want my clothes to get dirty, I chose to have breakfast first in a bathrobe. After that, I wore the clothes I had prepared. A white blouse with balloon sleeves and a plunging neckline. I combined it with a span skirt below the knee in a light cream color and then let my hair down.
Before leaving, I once again looked at myself in front of the mirror to ensure there were no flaws in my appearance today.
"Perfect!" I muttered, looking at the reflection of my appearance.
It was still 15 minutes past 5. I left my residence and walked along the sidewalk to get to the MRT station, which was located about 1 km away. It's pretty far for someone who isn't used to it, but for me, it's very close because I've done it often. Today, I will go by train because it is the cheapest compared to other modes of transportation.
I walked along the sidewalk accompanied by the still-dark sky. Because the weather was cold, I wore a calf-length jacket to ward off the cold New York temperatures. The weather in New York also often doesn't match the weather predictions. Fortunately, my body doesn't get sick quickly because if I got sick easily, it would be very troublesome, especially since my boss doesn't seem like someone who wants to be kind to others. At least, that's what I caught when he and I communicated.
The station was quiet when I got there, and I saw several people sleeping near the stairs or chairs waiting for the train. However, even though it was quiet, I didn't need to worry because the train would come soon.
I sat on one of the chairs there and played with my cell phone to get rid of my boredom. Short videos about gardening and cute animals keep my fingers from pressing the like button. When I heard the rumbling sound of the train, I immediately stood up and approached the platform.
Now I'm in the train car and sitting near the window. I ordered a warm coffee with milk to drink and enjoy throughout the trip. Arriving at the destination station, I rushed to the company. It's already five past 47 minutes. I don't have much time to walk there, but I'm sure I won't be late.
Just like the station is quiet, this giant company is also still modest. There are only a few workers whose job is to clean the company, not all of them.
"Am I an office girl? It's not even office time yet," I muttered as I stepped closer to the elevator.
"But I have to accept it! Whatever Mr. Alex and Ms. Jessica say, I have to do it, or something bad will happen. That couple matches, even if you look at it in the blink of an eye. They are both heartless!" I mumbled again, discussing my new boss with myself.
"Hah, it's better to have a cruel boss than to be unemployed."
The elevator dinged, and slowly, the doors opened automatically. I stepped out and went to my work desk in front of Mr. Alex. I didn't sit down immediately because I just put down the bag I brought to hold my things.
I stepped away from my desk and walked towards the room at the end of the floor. A space that stores cleaning tools. Next, I sweep this entire bed area and continue with mopping. This is very tiring. I haven't even done my main job and feel like going home. However, no! Once again, I need to remind myself about the debt that is not small.
I got excited again and scrubbed the floor with full force. I ensured the floor would be immaculate and look new so my boss would be happy and then intend to give me a raise.
After cleaning the spacious 5th floor, I washed my hands and started mixing food for my boss's breakfast. This breakfast was straightforward because I made toast and coffee, even though I didn't know if he would like it.
After breakfast was ready, I took him into my boss's room, and soon, my boss and his girlfriend came holding hands and talking.
"You're doing quite a good job," he said.
"It would be great if you would clean all the floors in this building, but there's no need. What did you give me for breakfast today?" he continued asking.
"I made toast and coffee, sir."
"That's all? You didn't make it for my lover?" he asked.
"I thought it was just you, sir. Then, I'll go out and make breakfast for Ms. Jessica." I was about to leave before the voice of my boss's girlfriend interrupted me.
"Don't make carbohydrate food. Make me salad and tomato juice!"
I just nodded, then walked out to make the order. Salad and tomato juice were easy, but unfortunately, I had problems with the blender. The blender won't work even though I've done it as usual. This happened for a long time until one of the office assistants came to help me. I'm not sure this incident won't get me into trouble later.
Finally, after quite a long time, I brought the salad and juice to Mr. Alex, and I could see the annoyed look on Mrs. Jessica's face.
"You make breakfast in the kitchen or London, flower girl! So long!"
"Sorry, Ms., I didn't mean to make you wait too long, but the blender in the kitchen wasn't working earlier," I said in the hope that Mrs. Jessica would be kind enough to forgive me.
"If you're smart, you can go to the kitchen on another floor to make juice instead of waiting until the blender starts working again."
"Never mind, Honey. Forgive her. Did you know she was just a flower seller before? She doesn't understand the fast-paced way this company works." In my heart, I shouted thank you to Mr. Alex. He has saved me.
"Fransisca, tell me my schedule for today!" he ordered.
"I have to return to my desk to get the phone and look at your schedule, sir. Is that possible?"
"Go."
I walked, but it seemed like I was running because it didn't take long for me to return to Mr. Alex and prepare to explain his schedule. However, I had to stay near the door because I didn't want to disturb their kissing activities. I could only gulp, seeing how their lips were fighting, but I immediately averted my gaze and looked in another direction.
"What are you doing there?" The curt voice entered my ears.
"I-I just want to read Mr. Alex's schedule for today, Ms," I said, half stuttering. I don't know since when I felt that this woman had succeeded in suppressing my soul.
"Don't you know any manners? Don't you see that this is your boss's room and a door is there? Can't you knock?!"
"Sorry, Ms. I only said that because I realized I had made a mistake.
"You have to get punished, which is giving me a massage!"
Alexander's POV Carrying my feelings of annoyance because of the accusations my mother gave Jessica, I left her alone in the restaurant. I feel like there's nothing significant for me and my mom to discuss because it will end the same as now. I didn't go back to the office because I didn't have anything else to talk about. I preferred to go after Jessica to her place where she was doing a photo shoot. I drove at an average speed while enjoying the New York City that had raised me. Arriving at Jessica's place, I walked to wait for her, who was posing in underwear. I saw her very skilled at posing, and it always looked sexy in my eyes. My lover, indeed, has a gorgeous body with perfect curves. "What do you think?" she asked after finishing the photo shoot, but I'm sure this isn't over yet. "You're so sexy in this outfit," I said, giving her the compliment I was sure she was used to.Jessica hugged me, and she put her arm around my neck, pulling me down. After feeling close to her f
Alexander's POVWhen the wall clock showed 9.46, Jessica left my office because there was nothing else she could do while I was busy with a meeting until noon. Currently, I am sitting at my desk to rest for a while before the next meeting is held. However, I can't sleep when a pile of files comes in, and I need to check them.A knock on the door reached my ears, and I looked at the watch around my wrist."Enter!" I exclaimed, and soon, the door to my room opened, revealing Fransisca with a phone in her arms."I just want to remind you that you have a meeting outside in 5 minutes, sir," whe said in a soft and gentle voice that entered my eardrums."Okay, we better go now," I asked."Help me," I asked, which, of course, Fransisca didn't dare refuse.The woman in a white blouse with lace at the colla
Alexander POV Today is Sunday. Where I don't work. And have free time to be with the person I love, namely Veronica. The woman who managed to make me fall in love with her beauty and even her beautiful voice. Even though her voice is spoiled, I really like it. My girl wants to buy a resort. As a good man, I obeyed her words and started looking for a resort with her. "Alex, are you ready?" Veronica asked me. I, who was still upstairs, immediately shouted loudly at her. "Just a moment, Honey." There was no answer from Veronica. It seemed like she was waiting for her patiently. Then after that, I went downstairs wearing casual clothes. It can be seen that Veronica is wearing clothes that are quite nice on her body. Veronica wore short turquoise green clothes that fit her body tightly and also wore shorts. However, I never had a problem with the clothes she wore, the important thing was that they were comfortable and didn't embarrass me. "Are you ready Honey?" I asked her. You c
Veronica's POV "Why are you defending her instead of me, your mother!" Alexander's mother snapped. I just kept quiet. Watch this debate. "You must have poisoned my child! That he dares to argue like this!" girder her. I remained silent, not expecting what she said. Then I looked at Alexander's mother with an annoyed look. Sometimes she would say something like that to me. "I-I never did anything to Alexander, ma'am." "Stop! Don't call me mom! I'm not your mom!" He jerked again. I fell silent. "You can't be like that with Veronica, you have to respect me for loving her," said Alexander. I smiled, feeling lulled by his words. I took Alexander's arm and clung to it. Showing a normal face. "Hey, you're getting away from my son!" Alexander's mother said. I just obeyed her, too lazy to argue with her, especially since Alexander was here. He will definitely defend me. "Mom! It can't be like that!" Alexander said in a curt tone. "Are you scolding me?" she asked which made Alexand
Francisca's POVI'm embarrassed. Really, her lover Mr. Alexander is very cruel. She embarrassed me in front of everyone.My eyes have been teary since earlier. Bowing my head no longer has any meaning. Even though it didn't happen like that.Earlier, I intended to come here to meet clients from companies who wanted to collaborate. However, when Mr. Alexander had arrived, suddenly their secretary called and said, "Sorry sir, we can't come there because there is a problem here."Mr. Alexander just said, "It's okay, ma'am, we can do it another time."After saying that, they immediately ended the call. I looked at Mr. Alexander and immediately asked, "Sir. Isn't this going to be the
Alexander's POV "Okay," said Fransisca. That woman can really be conquered by money. Then I smiled with satisfaction hearing that. Smiling a little as if belittling her. However, it seemed that the woman didn't understand anything about me. "Can you come closer to me?" I asked her. I thought she would reject it. However, apparently not. Instead, Fransisca nodded and immediately came closer to me. She stood next to me and immediately said, "What's wrong, sir?". "Nothing," I said simply. I pulled her arm to sit on my lap. I caressed Fransisca's face. It turns out that up close like this, her face is very beautiful. Fransisca really didn't refuse. She just kept quiet when she received such treatment. I smiled faintly. "Can I find my schedule?" I asked and she immediately nodded. She took a small tablet that I had given her at that time. Fransisca started looking for my meeting schedule very carefully. I just looked at her face which looked very beautiful but, unfortunately, it w
Veronica's POV Now in the room, I am still faithfully sitting on the edge of the bed. I've been feeling restless and strange ever since. I looked out the window several times, but there was no sign of him coming. Tried calling him. However, repeatedly there was no answer. I became worried, he should have come home or told me but, this time it felt different. "Where is Alexander? Why isn't he answering my calls," I said worriedly. Try to stay calm and call him again. But, again and again, there was no answer. Worry is increasingly haunting my mind. I started walking restlessly around the room, thinking about the worst that could happen. My cell phone still doesn't get an answer from Alexander. There is a great sense of uncertainty. "Gosh, where is he?" Finally, I decided to contact several friends and business colleagues who might know the whereabouts of Alexander. However, the results were still nil. Nobody knows where he is. The uncertainty is getting worse, and anxiety is c
Fransisca's POVI've been home since last night. This body is so tiring. When I came home, my thoughts were on my mother. Then I went into the house. However, it looks quiet and still, even the lights in my house feel dark.I'm worried about seeing it. By running, I opened the door aimlessly. However, the locked door made me panic even more.Glancing here and there, however, there was no one in the house. Then my eyes accidentally caught the silhouette of white paper perched on my window glass.My house is not as big as the others, however, if people come. Surely they won't want to leave my house.Approach the paper. I take it slowly. There was a key to my house and also a writing.For Fransisc
