Chapter 37RevengeBeryl turned on his phone camera. He captured the sunrise view this morning, directing it to the sun. Then he slowly shifted his cellphone camera, highlighting the figure of a woman who was walking closer, Jessica.His friend was walking slowly, her face down listlessly. One hand covered her mouth hiding her facial expression.Beryl ended the video recording on his phone. “Sit here, please,” he asked Jessica to sit next to him.Jessica sat down, close to Beryl.“Did you sleep well last night? I can't sleep because I keep thinking about you," Beryl said.Jessica was speechless, she shook her head slowly.Beryl continued to look at Jessica. Lexi Ricardo? Who is that man? His name was still very unfamiliar to his ears, but the man managed to become his rival in just one of their meetings. Who is he? Why did Jessica obey and was afraid of him?“I've asked, and Chelsea still don't want to answer!" Beryl was disappointed. “Now , you have to explain what really happened?”
Chapter 38 Runaway!In Soekarno Hatta airport waiting room.After two hours of air travel, Jessica and Beryl arrived in Jakarta. They were sitting waiting for a taxi.Jessica had been quiet ever since. She didn't say any word. It was because she didn't want to make Beryl sad, but she was aware. I liked Lexi. Yes, there was no way she was sad, angry, and disappointed to see Cassandra out of Lexi's room. If so, she had no feelings for her husband.“Who is Lexi Atmaja?" Beryl asked. At least, he should know the reason why the man could bond with Jessica. 'That man must be in a relationship with you, Jessica! You wouldn't cry because of a stranger, right?' he thought.Silent.Disappointment, anger, and sadness combined in her heart.“Tell me, Jess! Who is Lexi Atmaja? Why is he always around you? Why did you go to Bali with him? Why are you crying about him? Tell me why?” Beryl urged. He was angry, but could only wait for Jessica to tell him everything.The incident last night and Jess

However, the wife of his boss was not found.From the CCTV footage, Jessica was seen leaving the airport with two other people , one female and one male.“We have to split up! I'll call the taxi company and you go where Jessica's likely to go!” Arsene said. Ronald, always the most competent co-worker by far, knew what to do.“I'm going to the orphanage and will check on her two friends' houses!" Ronald answered. He rushed towards the parking area, immediately drove his car to the orphanage first.Waiting for information from Ronald, Arsene called the taxi company and also called Mr. Arman. Chelsea was seen on CCTV going out with Jessica.However, until half past noon. Lexi's plane landed. Arsene also did not get any information about Jessica's whereabouts.“Where is Jessica?”Lexi asked the question when he saw Arsene, who was sitting
Chapter 40 My wife, I miss you“Don't find Jessica! You're all stupid, incompetent!" Lexi yelled at the man across the phone.“Where is Jessica?" Arsene asked. He was looking for Jessica as much as he could. However, he still didn't know her existence.“I don't know!”Lexi's voice sounded resentful. ''There were three possibilities, Beryl takes Jessica away, Jessica runs away of her own free will, and the last is that something terrible happened while the woman waited for Lexi's arrival,' he thought.Lexi looked at the Flight Information Display System, checking Beryl's departure schedule. About twenty minutes ago, the only plane to Singapore boarded.Without wasting any more time, Lexi immediately left the airport. There was nothing he could do but wait for Beryl to arrive in Singapore. The wife was not carrying a phone. The wife's old gadget was still in his hands."Jessica!” Lexi said.

Chapter 41I'll never let you goLexi arrives at the ICU. He immediately went to see the nurse on duty tonight.“Where was the hit-and-run victim?" Lexi asked. He was really worried if what Arsene informed him was true."The victim is still in the treatment of doctors, there is a wound on her head,” the nurse said.“Can I see it?" Lexi asked.“Sure, let me take you.” The nurse got up from her seat and escorted Lexi to the far end of the room.The man watched from afar. He gave attention to the doctor who was suturing the wound on the patient's forehead. Although he was hesitant, Lexi walked over."Excuse me, doctor?”"Yes," the doctor replied, turning around. “You are her family?”At that moment Lexi could see the patient's face, she was not Jessica. "Sorry, I am not her family!" Lexi replied.Lexi came out of the ICU and it turned out that Arsene was there.“How is it, Sir? Is Miss Jessica there?" Arsene asked, he was worried.“No, the victim of the accident was not Jessica.” Lexi l
Chapter 42 To lose is to winThis afternoon Jessica just finished washing the dishes. Like any new waitress, the first week of work she had to do was the toughest job in the kitchen.“Not yet?" Febi, who is the head chef, asked. She tagged Jessica for her slow way of working. The second reason was because Jessica is prettier and younger than her.“It is done, Ma'am!" Jessica ended her doing by drying her wet hands.“Is this job too hard for you, Jessica?" the head chef asked, watching Jessica's face with a sweat-soaked forehead."No, Ma'am," she replied, looking down deeper."Don't call me Ma'am! Just call me Ms. Febi,” she exclaimed. She got mad whenever Jessica called her Ma'am. She thought she was not so old that Jessica called her like that.“Yes, Febi! Anything else I can do?"Jessica asked."Clean the bathroom! Ten minutes later you have to go back to the pantry, there's a briefing before the VVIP guests arrive!” Febi added extra work for Jessica.“Can I take a break?” Jessica

She asked for one week to go home, " Lexi said.“You didn't force her to go home?” Mrs. Anna stopped chewing. It was not like Lexi. He never gave up, but this time he did.Lexi shook his head slowly.“It's not like Mama's boy, but ... good, I like it. As a husband, you have to give in to your wife, especially Jessica who is younger than you." His mother smiled happily. There was a change for the better from within Lexi.Lexi nodded and then got up from his seat, ending dinner first. He immediately went to his room on the second floor.“Look, Jessica seems to have made Lexi change!" Mrs. Anna revealed with a fluffy smile on her lips.“That means Lexi has met the right person, Papa used to be like Lexi, but ..." Mr. Samuel stopped laughing at himself in
Chapter 44 Kania’s plan"I'm going to get Jessica tonight," Lexi said. It was enough to restrain himself. I couldn't have spent the night without Jessica.“Is Miss Jessica still refusing to go home?" Arsene asked.“Yes, I saw that he was hiding something, he was angry and thought over and over again to go home!” Lexi complained. “And I do not know why!” Lexi was starting to worry, she obviously was starting to care about Jessica's feelings.Arsene was silent, to be honest he was also amused by Lexi. Not only Jessica, but Lexi herself is still not open with her heart. “I think you're starting to have feelings for Miss Jessica, Sir!" Arsene said."Hahaha, are you kidding me?" Lexi laughed. “I can't possibly fall in love with her, if I want Jessica to come home, it's because I want her to do her duty as a wife! Not because I love her!" Lexi said, laughing at the secretary's opinion.“I'm not kidding Sir, do I need to explain everything? First, you don't like it when Miss Jessica is clo

I mean... we've never done a hike before and I'm also pregnant” Jessica protested."Take it easy, honey. We're not going to climb it. We're just enjoying the waterfall like I said at the time."

If it's like this, when will I be able to do my duty as a wife?” she whispered.Jessica blinked her eyes a few times. She was still feeling tired because of last night.

It could be said that she was falling in love with Lexi all over again.He wasn't a naturally romantic man. Sometimes his cold demeanor surfaced.

Isn't it still too early to leave the bed, dear?" Lexi, who had just woken up, yawned. His voice was hoarse from sleep.
