"Felix, please take Mommy to the café, please. Mommy's driver is visiting his wife who was giving birth early this morning." Asked Felix's mother, who was ready in the living room of the mansion.
Felix, who was still struggling with his cellphone, looked at his mother while thinking of something that made him smile mysteriously. Putting his cellphone into his expensive jacket pocket, he immediately stood up and stepped out of the mansion first.
"All right, Mom. How about we leave now?"
Even Felix doesn't know himself, suddenly he became excited this morning. In fact, the work problem that he had taken care of on his cellphone was forgotten. His smile still didn't recede from his handsome face.
"Hm, it's still too early. But, all right." Joanna said. "Okay, Mommy! "Exclaimed Felix who had passed to his car with enthusiasm.
Felix left after the housekeeper had his car ready. In fact, Joanna could clearly see the smile that was on her son's handsome face. Joanna was amazed at Felix's behavior this morning. He just shook his head and immediately left the mansion following Felix in front.

"Sis, I will go jogging in the usual place, do you want to come?" Roxanne asked her sister.
"Ah, no. I'm not sure I'll be jogging later, instead..." answered Victorina, Roxanne's sister, who was interrupted by Roxanne's answer, trying to finish what Victorina should have said.
"Busy with the camera and you're like maniac, geez." interrupted Roxanne, shaking her head.
They both laughed.
"Ah, looks like I'm not going to the café today." Roxanne said again as she prepared herself for jogging.
"Why? Not sounds like you." said her sister staring at Roxanne in surprise. "Usually you always spend time there." she continued.
Roxanne doesn't know what to answer. She also doesn't know why she doesn't want to come to her café. Maybe, she was trying to avoid something, someone to be more precise. Roxanne knows clearly if Mrs. Valeraine will go to her cafe this morning, Roxanne assumes that the stalking man will definitely come along with her. She didn't want to see the teaser again.
"Hm, it's fine. Just want to relax at home." Roxanne answered casually and walked away.

"Thank you, Son." Joanna thanked Felix for delivering her to the café.
Felix got out of the car and amazed his mother. "Do you want to accompany mommy?" Asked his mother.
"Ah, not really, Mom. I just want to check something." Felix answered with a smile.
"What do you mean by checking something is checking Ella, Son?" Asked his mother, raising her eyebrows.
Felix just shrugged his shoulders and they both stepped into the cafe. When his mother was sitting in a chair near the window, Felix walked to one of the employees near the cashier.
"Is Miss Roxy, ah, no. Mrs. Roxanne is there?" Asked Felix by correcting his call to Roxanne.
"Apparently not, sir. Usually Mrs. Anne always comes early, but she told me earlier that she wouldn't come for today." Clearly the employee.
Felix just nodded his head.
"Sorry, could you give me her number, please? I have something to do with her, that's business." Felix said with a smile.
Initially, the employee seemed to be mulling over something, but she finally gave Roxanne's cellphone number when Felix reassured the employee that a middle-aged woman sitting in a chair was her mother who was a regular customer at this cafe.
"Thank you." said Felix smiling after he got Roxanne's cellphone number.
After getting his number, Felix approached his mother and excused himself with the excuse of going to his office. Felix immediately walked out while calling Roxanne's cellphone number.

Roxanne immediately left her house and jogged around the mansion. After doing it for 1 round, she sat for a while. Suddenly, her cellphone rang. She furrowed her eyebrows when a foreign number called her.
"Hello?" Roxanne greeted first.
Someone who called her instead fell silent when Roxanne greeted first.
"Please, whoever this is, talk." Roxanne continued.
Roxanne was about to end the call when there was no answer from the caller.
"Wait, Roxy..." the caller answered suddenly.
Ro-Roxy?
"Morning, Roxy." the voice continued across.
Roxanne was very surprised when the caller called her 'Roxy'. Nobody called her that other than the 'that' guy. Before she could return to the real world, the caller gave her another greeting and it seemed very sweet. Roxanne won't deny that.
"Um, well, you must be Mr.Felix, right. Morning too, Mr. Felix." Roxanne answered sarcastically but she made it as gentle as possible and again, for reasons of formality.
"That's me. Hahaha. Well, what are you doing now, Roxy?" Asked Felix.
"Nothing." Roxanne answered briefly, densely, and clearly. She didn't understand why Felix could find out her cellphone number.
"Are you free?" Asked Felix again.
"I guess." Roxanne answered curtly. At least Roxanne had the intention to answer all of this man's questions, thinking that with that the man would soon finish all of his sentences that this tempter must have planned.
Besides that, Roxanne doesn't lie. Today she does have a free time all day for not visiting the cafe. Ah, she was regret the decision to not go to the café today. This is all because of that man.
"Good. Can we have breakfast together?" Felix asked enthusiastically.
"Okay, just tell me where the place is and I'll meet you directly there." Roxanne answered.
Felix's smile has widened since he first heard Roxanne answered his call sarcastically, but instead sounded sweet in Felix's ear. He smiled imagining Roxanne's face when shoe found out that it was him. Not wanting to make small talk, finally Felix invited Roxanne to have breakfast together. Felix thought he would get another denial from Roxanne, but Roxanne instead said she would immediately meet him after Felix told the location of his restaurant. Felix couldn;t express his happy feeling from this.
Arriving at the location, Felix immediately sent his address and waited for Roxanne to arrive. Right after 15 minutes of waiting, Roxanne arrived in a black jogging suit and was wrapped in a gray jacket.
Felix immediately stood up with a smile when he saw Roxanne's arrival at the restaurant's door and gave her a signal to come towards him. When Roxanne was in front of him, no one greeted and they just looked at each other. Felix showed his smile, while Roxanne cleared her throat and immediately pulled the chair in front of Felix to sit down.
"What do you want to eat, Roxy?" Felix asked when a waiter gave a menu book to Felix and Roxanne.
"Same as yours." Roxanne answered after looking at the food list in the menu book.
After Felix told the waiter about the order, Felix took his cellphone and looked for a name in his contact. He said he would like to go to the bathroom for a while.
"Dennis?" Felix asked as soon as the telephone was connected to the person he was calling, Dennis.
"What's wrong, Jullian?" answered Dennis.
"I need your help right now." Felix said without further ado.
After Felix said what help he needed, Felix immediately hung up the call and returned to his seat earlier.
"Sorry." said Felix with a smile as he arrived at his seat.
Somehow Roxanne felt a little strange, even though she had often eaten together with other men. Nope. Just a lunch with some of her father's employers. Is this because Felix is still so unfamiliar to her?
Roxanne was already hungry, so she immediately returned to the mansion to get her car without changing her jogging clothes. Roxanne doesn't even tell her sister or anyone else at home if she will go out for a while. Finally, a waiter who brought food came.
Nobody started the conversation, and it made the atmosphere awkward. Only the sound of the clink of a spoon and fork between the two seemed to answer each other.
"So, Mr. Felix. I'm a little curious. How did you get my cellphone number?" Roxanne asked, breaking the awkwardness she felt.
"Ah, I came to your café this morning because I was dropping off mommy, and I wanted to meet you, but you weren't there, and your employee said that you couldn't come this morning, and it seems I already know the reason." explained Felix while smiling sweetly at Roxanne.
Roxanne just fell silent with her brows furrowed. Felix looked at her intently. Gosh, she became uncomfortable with his gaze. Seriously, she only wears his jogging clothes with sweaty faces while Felix uses his office-style suit and looks handsome. Besides that, Felix looked at Roxanne as if she was the most beautiful woman here. Or maybe this is just her feeling.
"Well, all right, then is there anything you want to talk to me about?" Roxanne asked, who immediately realized because she had only been silent since earlier.
"Hmmm, there's actually nothing I want to talk about. I just want to see you." Felix answered with his trademark smile again.
"You are really strange, Mr. Felix." Pretending to look at the watch in his hand, Roxanne again said, "Apparently, I have business after this, so let's finish this breakfast, and I'll be home soon." Roxanne explained, suddenly feeling strange and awkward with Felix's answer.
Felix is so unfamiliar to her. Yes, maybe that's why she feels awkward. That thought made her able to hide her surprised expression. A little.
Roxanne is really funny. That made Felix want to tease her continuously. In fact, her surprised face actually looked sweet to Felix. When Felix gave her a sweet sentence just like that, she, the Aurore, instead told Felix to finish his breakfast immediately. Isn't that obvious, if she looks awkward. Felix smiled thinking about it.
"All right. But may I take you home?" Asked Felix.
"It doesn't seem necessary, Mr. Felix. As you saw earlier, I came alone in my car, so sorry." Roxanne explained flatly.
Felix just nodded in understanding and smiled mysteriously.
They finished their breakfast, and Felix immediately paid their bill saying if he treated them to breakfast as the cafe owner and son of her regular customers. They both came out of the restaurant and walked side by side to the parking lot.
Felix led Roxanne to Roxanne's car. However, when Roxanne was about to say goodbye, she was surprised to see that her car tire had turned out flat. In fact, not only one tire, but all the car tires. Felix who saw it only held his smile, but tried not to show it in front of Roxanne.
"Looks like, this time you can't refuse my offer again, Roxy." said Felix, putting his hands in his pockets and smiling mischievously.
"Come on, I'll take you home." Felix continued along with his steps towards his car, followed by Roxanne also.
