RIDICULOUS REMORSE

Roxanne turned to Felix's desk. Then, she remembered what Jeffrey had said about Felix's busy life and grimaced. She looked down at Felix who was sleeping on Roxanne's thigh. "Are you busy?" Roxanne asked as she gently combed Felix's hair.

"Lately, i am." Felix replied by shrugging his shoulders and being very ignorant. "Calm down, I won't miss my lunch hour, I always do my work without forgetting to eat lunch. As you suggest." Felix continues then smiles at Roxanne.

"Well, okay, thanks for taking my advice well. But that's not the problem. We meet each other too often, Felix. And I don't want me to interfere with your busy work hours." Roxanne says it while gently stroking Felix's arm and smiling sweetly.

Felix is ​​stunned as Roxanne says that. He immediately woke up and sat facing Roxanne beside him.

"Why did you say that? Of course not at all annoying, Roxanne. I always do my work fast so I have time for you too. You can ask my secretary if you don't believe me." replied Felix quickly.

"All right. All right. Oh, by the way, where's your teasing secretary?" Roxanne asked with a chuckle. It reminds her of Felix's secretary like that bitch.

"Of course I fired. You've met James, haven't you. He's my new secretary. Since you'll be here with me more often, of course I have to take action." Felix said arrogantly. It was as if he was praising himself for being responsive and attentive to Roxanne.

"Very well, Mr. Arrogant. Thank you for your actions, I really appreciate it." chuckled Roxanne. Felix also laughed with his new nickname. Mr Arrogant.

Felix seemed to remember the purpose he had brought Roxanne here. He rose from his place. Roxanne who saw that Felix was standing just stared at him silently. Felix extends his hand to Roxanne.

"Come on," said Felix. Roxanne just takes Felix's helping hand and answers, "where are you going?"

"Lunch, honey." replied Felix. "Oh, just put your bag on that sofa. We won't be eating out today,"

Roxanne frowned and did what Felix said.

"Where are we going to have lunch, Felix?" Roxanne asked. Now, they were in the elevator that would take them down. Felix was silent and turned to Roxanne with a mysterious smile. He is still faithfully holding Roxanne's hand.

"Just for lunch, you're being this mysterious, geez." Roxanne said quietly. However, Felix could hear it. He just laughed without saying a word.

The elevator has stopped and opened. Felix walked towards a cafeteria that was there still holding his hand to Roxanne. "Jeez, you could have just said that we will eat here. How hard is it, huh?" Roxanne grumbled.

"Come on, honey. You're complaining too much from there. You could pass out exhausted if you kept nagging me." said Felix. Roxanne only rolled her eyes to hear Felix suggesting her to shut up or she would run out of steam. Didn't that guy know what it was, hish.

Can you imagine how strange a man like Felix is. Just for lunch in his company cafeteria he doesn't want to tell Roxanne. Luckily Roxanne can still be patient with Felix's weirdness.

"I want to try the food here with you." said the man. Felix took Roxanne by the hand towards the place to get food. The employees in the cafeteria who saw the CEO who was in the cafeteria hurriedly stood in line and greeted Felix.

"Ah, good afternoon, Mr. Felix. Are you going to have lunch here?" asked the head chef who looked young.

Felix nodded his head enthusiastically. Roxanne only smiled when the head chef greeted Roxanne. In fact she is embarrassed now. Felix has not yet let go of her hand which makes all Felix employees continue to stare at them. There are those who feel jealous, amazed, or kind of. Roxanne doesn't want to keep analyzing their gazes.

"Just give us 2 servings of today's special." asked Felix. The head chef agreed and immediately returned to the kitchen followed by the other chefs.

Felix invites Roxanne to sit at a table near a large window. Felix pulls a chair for Roxanne after releasing the armature.

"I thought you ate here a lot." Roxanne said.

"No. Usually I eat out, that's all if I'm with my friends or you come. But, this time I want to try the menu in my own company." Felix flashes a grin at Roxanne.

Before long, the head chef returned with 2 portions of food and a chef behind him brought two glasses of mineral water and two glasses of orange juice. It seems like a very special treat for Felix and herself.

"Enjoy the dished, Mr and Mrs. Herbert," said the chef politely as he handed the drink on the table.

"Thank you," Roxanne said with a smile. Felix turns to Roxanne then turns to the young head chef. The head chef smiled back Roxanne and walked away to get back into the kitchen.

"You're very happy just like him." said Felix dryly. Roxanne raised her head to face Felix who was wiping his spoon and fork.

"Of course I'm happy." Roxanne replied enthusiastically.

"Why?" asked Felix. Roxanne seemed to stop stirring her food. "Of course because I want to eat, Felix. What else?" Roxanne is confused. What kind of question.

Felix shrugged his shoulders.

Roxanne hasn't started eating yet. "What's wrong? You're so weird." Roxanne said then. Felix, who was about to drink his mineral water, stopped and turned to look at Roxanne. He was silent for a moment then sighed.

"I don't like you smiling at him." sincere Felix then. Roxanne didn't answer. However, a second later Roxanne chuckled. Felix who saw it only frowned, wondering why Roxane laughed like that.

"Roxanne, I'm serious, this isn't funny." grumbled Felix.

"Gosh, felix. You're so unreasonable. Why don't you like it? Oh, you're so jealous. I'm just smiling for the sake of politeness. You're really overreacting. I'll make it clear, it's not a sin, Felix." Felix was silent and stirred the food quickly, about to eat it.

"Hish, you know what, I wouldn't have invited you here." Felix is ​​still grumbling about the problem.

"Come on, felix. Just eat." ordered roxanne who was still laughing. Who knows what to laugh about Felix's jealous attitude. Of course Felix thought this wasn't funny. The smile of politeness he said? Oh, come on. Roxanne is too smiley.

After they finished eating, they went back to Felix's office. Roxanne sits on the couch while Felix fetches the white wine from the corner cupboard. He pours the white wine for Roxanne and himself. "Thank you." says Roxanne.

Felix sits next to Roxanne and puts her side to the side. He lifted one leg onto the sofa and looked at Roxanne who was drinking her white wine.

"You must really intend to keep me here all day." Roxanne says after placing her white wine on the table. Felix chuckled at this.

"Geez, it's not been all day, Roxy. It's only been half a day." said Felix confirming the hours.

Roxanne grieved. "You still keep me here," Roxanne doesn't seem to want to lose.

"Well, you've never felt it, though." Roxanne tilted her head at Felix's words which sounded ambiguous. "Feel what?" she asked. Felix drank his white wine to the point and put the glass on the table.

"It's tormented by missing loved ones too much and frustrated to want to see them immediately." said Felix, looking at Roxanne. Makes Roxanne speechless.

Roxanne averted her gaze in embarrassment as Felix said those cute lines. Roxanne couldn't answer it and there was silence between them for a few minutes before Roxanne finally spoke.

"Erm, you are not going to continue your work?" Roxanne asked. She turned to Felix, who was resting his head on his own hands. As it turned out, Felix was still staring at Roxanne from there.

Felix sighed. "Geez, you're really good at disturbing people's fun, huh." said Felix. "Well, at least I've got the basic energy to work," Felix grinned.

Roxanne doesn't understand Felix's meaning and only shrugs her shoulders. However, then Felix kissed her lips so suddenly and so fast that Roxanne didn't have time to digest what was going on.

"And also the main energy," said Felix again, smiling in front of her. He glanced at Roxanne's lips and rubbed them with his thumb.

Felix returned to his desk and immediately read the documents his secretary had submitted. Roxanne can only stare at Felix who is working. Every now and then she would lie down on the sofa or read a book in the cupboard near the door. Before long, because there was nothing she could do anymore, she fell asleep on the long sofa.

Felix has just finished his job. In fact, he did not realize it was getting dark. He turns to the sofa where Roxanne is sleeping. Felix smiled and cleared his desk and walked over to the sofa. Roxanne is seen sleeping comfortably and soundly. Even though only on a sofa. However, Felix had to wake her up immediately because he had to take Roxanne home.

"Honey," Felix slowly wakes Roxanne up. He patted Roxanne's cheek gently and slowly so that Roxanne is not surprised.

Before long, his attempt was successful as Roxanne groaned and blinked. "What time is it?" Roxanne asked who was rubbing her eyes and trying to sit up. Felix smiled with amusement. At this rate, Roxanne looks like an innocent child. Felix stands up and takes Roxanne's hand bag on the table.

"It's almost late at night, let's go home." Felix extends one hand to Roxanne. While he uses the other hand to carry Roxanne's bag. Roxanne accepted that helping hand even though she was still half sleepy.

"Do you want me to carry you?" asked Felix before taking him. Roxanne shook her head. "No need."

After a few minutes, Felix's car finally arrived in front of the mansion and entered the courtyard of the mansion.

"Well, since you have me locked up, I'll give you a punishment." Roxanne said before getting out of Felix's car. Felix who heard it just chuckled and was surprised by Roxanne's words. Sounds like she's flirting, gosh.

"You have to have dinner again with my family." says Roxanne. Seriously? Roxanne is so cute. What a cute punishment.

"Hmmm... let's just say, this is the beginning of our relationship, maybe? You know.... right now, it's only you who are close to my heart besides my family." Roxanne looked down uncertainly as she said it. Then, she turned to Felix, waiting for Felix's reaction.

Felix is ​​still stunned by the sweet confession from Roxanne's lips. Geez, he hopes Roxanne says it earnestly because from now on, Felix won't be playing around with anyone who tries to get close to Roxanne. Even his brother.

Roxanne is serious about it. Perhaps, at first she had doubts. However, today Felix has gradually awakened her about Felix's sweet struggle. So, it's actually Roxanne's gratitude to Felix that she offers dinner for the start of their relationship.

Roxanne is still waiting for Felix's answer. But, it seemed unnecessary because a few seconds later, without answering, Felix got out of his car and opened the door for Roxanne.

"It was a cute punishment I've ever heard, babe." Felix's words made Roxanne laugh with amusement. Felix extends his hand to Roxanne and Roxanne accepts it. They walked side by side into the mansion.

"Good evening, mom, dad." said Felix as soon as he and Roxanne entered and Adrien and Agathe were in the dining room. They immediately turned to Felix and Roxanne who were in the doorway.

This time it was Roxanne who invited Felix to come inside without letting go of her hand. It made Jeanette who was chewing her orange fruit stop when she saw Roxanne and Felix's hand holding. Even Victorina, who had just put the food on the dining table, was stunned to see Roxanne and Felix's hand holding. Her jaw almost fell if her mother didn't call her back to help her. Felix, who was aware of the direction of Jeanette's gaze, only shrugged and pointed at Roxanne who was enthusiastically pulling out a chair for Felix.

Jeanette and Victorina shook their heads. She returned to eating the fruit after she and Felix smiled mysteriously at each other. Nobody noticed.

"Did you two just date?" Roxanne's father asked.

"Daaadd, that doesn't seem like the right question." Roxanne grumbled to her father who was again asking to the point.

"Felix kept me in his office." Roxanne said then.

Felix, who heard it, tilted his head and laughed. Apparently, someone's trying to snitch here, Felix thought with amusement.

"It's not like that, dad. Dad must know how it feels to hold back feelings of missing someone and -" Felix's words were interrupted when Roxanne hit Felix's arm trying to stop Felix's own version of 'honest'. Roxanne always gets annoyed when Felix tells his own version of it. Felix just complained in pain with a laugh.

"Ella, you, I'm afraid you might leave a bluish bruise on his arm later." her mother said amused.

"It's impossible, mom, nonsense." argued Roxanne.

"How can you be so sure?" Roxanne turns to Felix who just asked by folding his shirt sleeves and lifting her onto the table.

"Hmmm... because of you..." Roxanne hesitantly examines Felix's body and she is even more doubtful about whether to answer. "You seem to be exercising a lot," Felix, who heard Roxanne's answer, felt compelled to tease her.

"So, that's what you've been aiming for? Hit my arm all the time so you can tell I'm strong and muscular, is that right?" Roxanne chokes on her drink and Felix laughs it off instead. Felix immediately rubbed Roxanne's back slowly.

Roxanne felt Felix's hand rub her back, as soon as she could she turned to Felix, and gave her a look of horror. Felix shrugs his shoulders and removes his hand from Roxanne's back.

"Geez, can't you just for an hour don't fight, you actually like each other but you're always like this." said Victorina, then sitting between her mother and Jeanette.

"WHERE THAT THOUGHT CAME FROM!" Roxanne tries to deny it. She even raised her voice when she said it.

"Sis, you're too much. Your vocal cords can break. If you scream like that, you look like you're denying it, you know." now it was Jeanette who spoke. Felix just laughed so did Agathe, Adrien, and Victorina.

Roxanne is getting on her own nerves. Ah, oh my, things are always like this. Roxanne regrets taking Felix to dinner here.

"Dad feels more secure and trusts Felix for our plan." said Adrien then. Agathe only smiled mysteriously then looked at Roxanne who didn't understand her father's words.

"We're planning a vacation, Ella. Jeanette asked for it. In fact, she's already bought plane tickets." her mother tried to explain.

"Then?"

"There are only 4 airplane tickets, sis." replied Jeanette. Roxanne knit her brows together. "For me, Sis Victorina, mom, and dad," continued Jeanette. Roxanne is stunned to hear that.

"Therefore, like what father said earlier, i feel safe and can trust Felix to leave you with him, because we will be away for a few days." said her father, again.

Roxanne is again dumbfounded by her father's explanation. She regretted her decision even more when she invited Felix to dinner together. If she didn't take him out to dinner, she wouldn't fight with Felix. If she didn't ask him to dinner, her father wouldn't leave her to Felix. If she didn't ask him to dinner, Felix wouldn't know how embarrassed Roxanne is right now. Jesus Christ!
