Chapter 3 Not as Expected

Alexa glanced at the luxury car that pulled up beside her. She still wondered why a gigolo like Michael wasn't afraid to hook up with another woman. Wasn't he afraid of his aunts finding out and getting angry? Although Alexa was afraid of this, she finally asked Michael to take her to the company where she worked.

"Mr. gigolo, although I'm afraid that someone who keeps you knows about this. But I have no other choice as there is no public transportation here. Can you drive me to work," Alexa said shyly.

"Why does this stupid girl still think of me as a gigolo kept by rich aunties. I'd better get to work on her, hehe," Michael muttered to himself.

"So what do I get in return for driving you to work?" Michael asked.

Alexa said that she would be his servant if he would drive her to work. Michael refused to be a servant because there were already many servants in his house, so he did not accept any more servants. Alexa didn't know what to give Michael in return.

"If you have too many servants, I'd like to be your cook," Alexa said.

"I have a world-class chef at my house, can you really cook?" asked Michael.

Alexa gave up because she didn't know what else to say. Michael didn't agree with anything she asked. The girl was silent for a moment staring at the window throughout the trip. Her cell phone kept ringing, it was her boss telling her to get to the company quickly.

"Alexa do you not wanna work here anymore, your salary will be cut immediately if you don't come on time," said Alexa's boss.

"Sir, don't fire me, I'll be there in a minute," said Alexa.

Alexa's boss continued to grumble because Alexa didn't come quickly. It was almost nine o'clock but Alexa hadn't arrived. Michael was very upset that his bedmate from last night was being cursed at like that by his boss. For some reason, having just met her last night and slept together, Michael felt a strange vibration in his heart. He planned to prank the boss where Alexa worked.

"Miss Alexa, where do you work?" Michael asked.

"I work as a designer at the Lolita Fashions company," Alexa said.

The name of the company was familiar to Michael because it belonged to Michael's parents' Sanjaya family and Alexa worked there. Mrs. Sanjaya had the audacity to scold the person Michael had fallen in love with like that, so it seemed she had to act now.

"Miss, you have arrived at your company," Michael said.

"You know where my company is, are you a customer of our clothes?" Alexa asked in surprise.

Michael just nodded indicating that he often wore the brand's clothes. If he knew that Alexa also designed clothes in this company, Michael would probably buy every month if there was a new product released, especially if he knew it was a special design made by Alexa.

"Come in. I'll take you, don't refuse," Michael invited.

"Alright but are you sure you won't get into trouble?" asked Alexa.

Michael shook his head and followed Alexa into her company. Sure enough, Mrs. Sanjaya was waiting for Alexa in her office and was ready to cuss her out. The woman didn't realize Michael was nearby. She continued to berate Alexa who had just arrived.

"You know what time it is, does this company belong to your ancestors, huh?!" snapped Mrs. Sanjaya.

"Forgive me ma'am but I've got a little problem," Alexa replied.

"What obstacles, already poor need work given a job but instead unwilling to work, quickly design a good shirt I've got a special job for you!" scolded Mrs. Sanjaya.

Plak! Michael was so annoyed that he slapped Mrs. Sanjaya hard, as a lady from a noble family, it was inappropriate for her to do that. Insulting an employee in the presence of other employees. It was immoral as a noblewoman.

"You're a useless woman, so this is how you little nobles treat employees?" asked Michael.

"Mr. Michael, since when have you been here, it's not like what you see, sir, my employee is often late and her work is incompetent," said Mrs. Sanjaya.

Michael couldn't believe that his work was incompetent, why did he have to be called and cursed at along the way, not to mention being humiliated in the workplace like this. Michael was very upset. He grabbed Alexa's arm and took her away, before leaving Michael warned Mrs. Sanjaya.

"Remember from today Alexa is no longer your employee, she is my person, leave her alone," Michael said.

"But Mr. Michael can't do that," Mrs. Sanjaya replied.

Michael ignored her and took Alexa away from there. Alexa begged Michael to let her go because it was inappropriate to behave like this. They had just gotten to know each other and it shouldn't be like this.

"Let's go, we've just met, you've helped me, I'd like to thank you, but I've lost my job," Alexa said.

"Don't worry you'll still be able to work, then didn't you say you would give me a reward, it's time I asked for it," Michael replied.

Alexa frowned, it was true that she had promised a reward because the handsome man in front of her was willing to let her go and never see her again from this moment onwards. Let's just say they never knew each other before.

"Then what do you want to ask for in return?" asked Alexa.

"I'm still thinking about this, what if you stay by my side?" asked Michael.

"I'm sorry I can't, I'd better find a new job to make some money," Alexa replied and left Michael.

Michael let Alexa go first this time, he wanted to know what Alexa would do after this. He was sure she would go looking for him for help because she couldn't find a job. Alexa met up with her best friend Nori and told her what had just happened. Nori temporarily offered her a job at a flower shop. The important thing was that Alexa still earned money for her own living expenses.

"Thank you, Nori, if there was no you, I don't know what to do," Alexa said.

"We're best friends, it's only right to do this." Nori hugged Alexa.

Alexa spent day after day working as a waitress in a flower shop. She was very happy because there was no pressure like her previous job. She also still drew dress designs for a few customers that matched her otherworldly drawings on the side.

Prang! Michael slammed his glass down because he was upset that the woman he expected to come begging for help because he couldn't find a job didn't show up. He vented his anger on the servants and workers in his house.

"Master, these few days it looks gloomy and always angry, what's the matter, since that lady left he has changed," whispered one servant.

"That's right, if only that lady would come back and persuade the young master not to be angry anymore, I would be very happy," replied the servant who was with him.

Doni listened to the conversation of the two servants, it seemed to be true, Miss Alexa could calm his master's heart. But where can he find Alexa, the girl who had a one-night stand with her employer. Doni took the initiative to find Alexa and bring her to his boss.

"Miss Alexa, I finally found you," said Doni, surprising Alexa.

"Who are you?" asked Alexa.

Doni introduced himself, it was not difficult for him to find someone because he was used to it as a trained person in the dark world. He asked Alexa for time to meet someone. Because maybe his presence will make her heart calm.

"I'm Doni, Mr. Michael's assistant, can I talk to you?" Doni asked in a polite manner.

"I happen to have finished work, what do you need?" Alexa replied.
