Chapter 5

Alex then holds his chest and feels his heart beating fast as if ready to explode. A smile was painted on Alex's face. He was very happy because his angel was sleeping on his shoulder.

Alex had never imagined he would be this close to Precious. Back when they were in high school and Alex was just a secret admirer lucky to be friends with his school's most beautiful girl. Alex always hides inside his house while peeping out the window every time he goes to school. Then when Precious came out of her house Alex would come out and pretend he too was just leaving. Alex did that so he could go together with Precious.

"Alex, bring my bag." Said Precious, throwing her bag casually to Alex like a princess

Alex also catches Precious's bag and hugs it tightly as if it is a valuable item that he must protect. Alex always walks behind Precious while hugging her bag like an errand boy. Even so Alex will continue to smile along the way. Because Alex's happiness is the simple thing of doing something for Precious.

And because of his simple happiness Precious uses it and treats Alex like her servant. In fact, everyone at school call him Precious's Pet. Alex will do whatever Precious asks. Like when the recess bell is heard, Alex will immediately run to Precious just to ask what menu she wants to eat and which chair Precious wants to sit in the cafeteria later.

"Today it looks like a hot dog with extra tomato sauce and cola with 0% of calories. Please make sure the table near the window is empty because me and my friend want to sit there. " Said Precious

" Ok." Alex said with a big smile

Alex will run to get to the canteen quickly. He would order the food Precious wanted and put it on the table that Precious mentioned. And if anyone has sat at the table Alex will persuade the person to move. But not everyone wants to move happily. Like when his senior brothers who were wearing basketball uniforms were sitting enjoying their lunch at the table that Precious mentioned. Even though Alex was a little scared because they were tall and big, Alex would still dare to ask them to move from the table.

"Sorry, can you guys ..." said Alex in a low voice

"What?!" said one of them in a loud and scary voice that made Alex swallow hard with fear.

"Sorry, but can you move?" asked Alex, who was immediately greeted by the sharp eyes of his three seniors

One of his seniors even stood up with an annoyed look and pulled Alex's collar. Alex was sweating cold and trembling in fear.

"How dare you disturb our lunch and order us to move out? Are you challenging us? " said the senior in an annoyed tone

"No, that's not it. I just ... "said Alex stammering because he was scared

" What?! Do you want to fight? " the senior said, raising his fist

Alex immediately closed his eyes for fear of being hit. Luckily Precious came and stopped the fist that almost landed on Alex's cheek. Precious who came with her angel smile melted the emotions of the seniors. Even everyone stared in awe at her because only with her presence Precious brought a blinding light.

"Cool and kind, senior brother, can you move from this table? Me and my friend want to sit here, but we will feel uncomfortable if you also sit here because we want to talk about personal women. So would you like to move happily? " said Precious with a look that no one could resist and made anyone who looked at her drowned in her charm

"Alright, you can sit here. Please, we are done too. " The senior said then took off Alex's collar

They even pulled chairs for Precious. The three seniors have fallen in Precious's charm until they scramble to get Precious's attention. They smiled like fools and became one of Precious's slaves.

"Thank you, you guys are so kind and cool." Said Precious, staring at the three seniors with her angelic gaze and making the seniors go crazy because of her charm.

Precious also enjoys lunch with her friend and Alex will eat alone at the next table. Alex will enjoy his meal while watching Precious. Even though he couldn't sit next to Precious and only watched her from afar Alex was still feeling happy.

If you remember the past, of course Precious whose head rests on his shoulder like a miracle or a dream that comes true. That night became one of the most beautiful nights in Alex's life.

Morning came back again and the morning sun filled the room. Precious who was fast asleep slowly opened her eyes because the sunlight greeted her and woke her up. Precious woke up with a blanket all over her body. Precious looked around the room but she did not see Alex but her mother who had woken up and was staring at the window.

Precious stood up and straightened her blanket. She then approached her mother and sat on her mother's bed. Precious hugged her mother tightly because she was very grateful to be able to hug her mother again in the morning. Like an opportunity that was almost lost but she got it back.

"When did you wake up, Mom? Why didn't you wake me up? " Precious said softly

"You look so tired and I can't bear to wake you up. You must have been very sad last night, sorry I am really sorry to bother you this much. " Said her mother made Precious release her hug and looked into her eyes

"Mom, I told you not to talk like that. You are not a burden to me at all, it's my duty to care for and look after you. " Said Precious

"All right, I'm sorry." Said her mother while rubbing Precious's head

Precious was getting ready to go to work. When ready to wear an office uniform, Precious first feeds her mother breakfast. After the plate was empty and her mother was finished eating, Precious left for work. And when she was discharged, Alex was waiting for her to go to work together. Precious was a little surprised because she thought Alex was gone, but apparently he left briefly to get ready then go back to get her.

"Come in, let's go together." Alex said as he opened the car door for Precious

"I think I should go alone. I don't want a scandal to appear because we went to the office together. " Said Precious

"It's okay, just say we met in the middle of the road. Besides, I'm already here. " Said Alex

Alex also persuaded Precious to get into his car. Until finally Precious accept his offer. They arrived at the office and as Precious thought. Some people who saw them coming together began to whisper to each other and there were also some who gave a look not wearing it on her. But Alex didn't realize that because he only focused on Precious without looking around.

" Come in." Alex said with a big smile

"You should go in first, I will follow." Precious said, glancing at the people who were staring at her as if to give a signal for Alex to look around
