"I don't like being opposed and your friends are against me. After all, the impact is on you," said Siska casually, without caring about Alexa who was almost crying.
Alexa stopped centuries later wiping her tears that she didn't realize had fallen. .the girl tried to be patient and smiled calmly. "Well if that's the terms I have to accept. It's fine. You are indeed the one in power, and I am just an employee...I hope time passes quickly so I can get a salary that will always be deducted to pay off that debt, and I will leave this company soon," she said scathingly.
"Yeah... It's up to you what you want to say..what is certain, pay off your debt first if you want to leave this company quickly," said Siska sarcastically, leaning her back on the shoulder of her oversized chair. "But it seems that's impossible. It will take months for the debt to be paid off from your pay cut."
"Yes ... you always win in everything, but you have lost at something but you don't realize it," said Alexa then got up from the chair and immediately left the room without waiting for a response from Siska. .she was tired of being polite because, in the end, her boss would just continue to humiliate her.
'You do win in terms of wealth, but you can't win your husband's heart to choose my friend,' Alexa thought, remembering Bastian's affair with Gea. 'I will never tell you about this, let time answer and your heart will be very hurt. You damn boss!'
Siska silently stared at Alexa who walked out of her room with fast steps as if showing her annoyance. she remembered that her secretary had said that she had lost at something.
"Why did she say that? What does she mean when she says I'm gone?" she wondered, too, trying to change what had been missing in her until her secretary said she had lost.

After Alexa left for work, Gea went back to sleep and had not had breakfast...This is when she woke up to the sound of her smartphone vibrating on the table beside her. she grabbed the phone and it turned out that she got a message via WhatsApp from Alexa.
___ Gea ...I don't know what to do... Help me. Let me live in the apartment until I can pay off my debt to Mrs. Siska, then resign from the company. She just made a crazy decision. She will take 80 percent of my salary to repay the debt. It makes me unable to rent anymore. .and it's better if I send the rest of my salary to my parents, they must always wait for my salary___
Gea sighed, put her phone right next to her body, then looked up at the ceiling. "She just got excited about getting a new boyfriend. now she's getting a new problem from the talkative women," she said annoyed remembering Siska's face.
Gea's gaze shifted towards the bedroom door which slowly opened. The non-virgin girl squinted her eyes, looked at the figure who came, and immediately sat on the edge of the bed right beside her.
"Bastian. Hang you here when the clock ..." Gea turned to glance at the clock on the wall which showed the time was 10:20 am. "it's working hours"
Bastian sighed as he took off his gray suit leaving a white shirt." I understand it's impossible to come here at night because you have friends. So, I took the time to come at this time while it wasn't too busy," he said.
"What if someone suspects something?" she asked.
"No one will suspect, especially since my wife is busy. she won't look for me this time," replied Bastian then lay down beside Gea. He hugged the girl from the side, put his arm to support her head, then kissed her forehead and cheeks.
"Your wife is torturing my friend," Gea muttered.
"What did she do?" asked Bastian stroking Gea's hair.
"Yes ... You know that my friend has a debt to your wife's company. She is no longer comfortable but has to keep working to repay the debt and she just sent me a message," said Gea with a tinge of sadness on her face.
"What message?" Bastian asked.
"Her salary will be cut by 80 percent. That means she won't have any more money to rent. . . Maybe the remaining 20 percent of her salary will only be divided for food and sent to her parents in Yogyakarta," explained Gea in a spoiled tone, hoping that her lover would help her best friend.
"Then I will often give her money as a bribe so as not to tell but our relationship to my wife and ..." Bastian thought for a moment with a blank stare as if imagining something. "It doesn't matter to me if she stays here..I'll pay someone to clean another room to use as her and... maybe I'll just come here during the day so she doesn't know how we make out."
"Is it true that you don't mind if she stays here?" asked Gea with sparkling eyes looking at Bastian.
Bastian smiled and nodded. "As long as it makes you comfortable and happy. I'll do it."
Gea smiled happily and immediately sat up, even then climbed onto Bastian's stomach. she looked at him with exasperation then kissed him, pinching his cheek. "Ugh..you're so good!"
Bastian chuckled in a low voice then grabbed Gea, rolled over making her switch positions on top, and kissed his mistress aggressively. they laugh in love and then on to intimacy and... they might just be... um, you know.

Melvin has arrived at Siska's company which of course is also where Alexa works. he got out of the car, then took off the sunglasses he was wearing and put them in the pocket of his white shirt combined with a black suit without buttons and no tie. the man looks cool with a style that is not so neat but still looks classy so several employees stare at him as if not blinking.
Melvin walked blankly down the corridor followed by a girl who might be his secretary who came in another car. He was immediately greeted by one of the company's staff who immediately escorted him to a special elevator for dignitaries and clients. The man and secretary were escorted by staff who were very reluctant to him, to the number 10 floor where Siska's room was located.
Arriving at floor number 10, Melvin continued to walk with his staff and secretary, until a smile grew on his lips when he saw the secretarial room in front of the boss room. "She's very focused on work."
Melvin paused in front of Alexa's room which was a transparent glass wall. "Hmmm."
Alexa, who was focused on typing something on her laptop, was a bit surprised. She lifted her head until her eyes found a smiling Melvin in the doorway. The girl smiled shyly and didn't know what to say. Ah, she's not used to her handsome boyfriend yet.
"Wait a minute, after I have a meeting ... I will be with you," said Melvin with a warm smile and then went to Siska's room.
Alexa just nodded, looking at Melvin who was now getting out of sight. 'Handsome. intoxicating smile ... it seems I've fallen in love or am I falling in love too easily? What if it's just a fake like Lisa said?'
