"Please, for a few days while your wound hasn't dried, avoid heavy activities. I suggest that for the next two days, you also don't take a bath but use a wet cloth to clean your body if you want," a doctor changed the bandage on the right side of Nelvan's abdomen."Is the wound too deep? I don't feel pain, just discomfort when I move," Nelvan said.The doctor, who had finished changing the bandage, packed up his tools, "Only a few centimeters deep, so it's normal to feel discomfort, but it seems you are a sports enthusiast, so it's likely that the wound on the side of your abdomen will heal faster. I have changed the bandage, and if you need anything, please call me again. Well then, I'll take my leave," the doctor bid farewell to Nelvan.Nelvan nodded his head, the doctor left, escorted by Hans, while inside, Lynda stood silently. When Nelvan turned to her, Lynda realized she had to leave too."I didn't tell you to leave," exclaimed Nelvan, and spontaneously Lynda stopped before turn
Lynda noticed about three people coming to Nelvan's house with Hans. The three of them were new maids who would work in the house to assist Lynda so she wouldn't have to work alone anymore."Are they starting today?" Lynda whispered to Hans."Of course," Hans turned to Lynda, "Didn't Nelvan tell you about it?" Hans asked back.Right, Lynda almost forgot that she had to focus on serving Nelvan without doing other household chores, but there was still something on Lynda's mind, so she went to find Nelvan in his office."Mr. Xander,"Nelvan turned, "Have they arrived? If they have, you can sit quietly," Nelvan said before returning to work on a Mac on the table."What should I do then?" Lynda asked.Nelvan's hand movement pressing the buttons on the keyboard stopped, he slightly lifted his head to look at Lynda, "I think I've already told you about the new job you have to do," Nelvan replied."Are you asking me to pretend to be your partner in front of Mrs. Maggie?" Lynda asked again to
Lynda left Nelvan's house after asking for permission to go home. Tomorrow is her birthday, and as usual, Lynda will have a small celebration with Mia and Allexin."Allexin, has Mia arrived?" Lynda exclaimed as she entered the not-so-large house where she lived with her brother.Allexin ran up to Lynda, "You're here? Did you meet Mia on your way here?" Allexin asked in return.Lynda shook her head, "Wait a moment, let me send a message to Mia, maybe she's already on her way," Allexin nodded as he saw Lynda already holding her phone."I've prepared the ingredients to make the cake. Instead of buying one, I prefer your homemade cakes, so while waiting for Mia, how about we make the cake first?" Allexin suggested."Okay," Lynda placed her shoulder bag on the chair, went to the kitchen, put on an apron, and then took the flour and other ingredients to make the cake. The siblings were busy making the cake together, until a few minutes later, they heard a shout from outside the door."I'm h
Night had arrived, Lynda's homemade cake was beautifully decorated, while Allexin and Mia had also adorned Lynda's house simply. The three of them took a photo together with Lynda holding her birthday cake.Allexin and Mia cheerfully sang a birthday song, each wearing a party hat. Lynda closed her eyes and made a wish for her twentieth birthday before blowing out the candles on the cake."I have a special gift for you," Mia took a box from a paper bag hidden in Allexin's room."I didn't see you coming with this earlier," Lynda replied as she received the gift from her friend. Mia hinted at Allexin, "I hid it in your brother's room," Mia said.Not to be outdone, Allexin also gave a gift to Lynda, "This is your birthday present from your mischievous little brother. I hope at your new age, you'll receive the best gift from God." Allexin said."Thank you, I'm very curious about the gifts you both gave me. Can I open them?" Lynda asked.Mia and Allexin nodded. Lynda opened Mia's gift first
Like a strange dream, Lynda had just left her house this morning when suddenly Nelvan picked her up without asking for Hans' help. The plane they were on was about to land.Lynda turned to Nelvan, who was busy opening his tablet screen. When Nelvan said he would take her with him to Seattle, he went straight to the airport without giving Lynda time to prepare anything. So, all she had with her was the gift Hans and Mia had given her the night before."Mr. Xander, I—""Don't worry, all your needs have been taken care of if that's what you're afraid of because you didn't have time to prepare," Nelvan said without looking at Lynda. Still looking at the tablet screen, he continued, "Remember not to call me Mr. Xander for a while. Just get rid of the formal language you often use with me."Lynda didn't say anything except for a slow nod. Nelvan didn't even see her nod because he was focused on his tablet screen. Lynda looked to the right and left, hoping to find Hans on the same plane, but
Several hours had passed, and now Lynda felt bored waiting for the two people who were in a closed room to come out. Currently, Lynda was in Seattle, where she had no idea about the place at all.The service at the company was quite good. They seemed to know that Lynda was hungry, so they brought her some snacks and drinks while waiting for Nelvan and Hans to finish their meeting.Lynda played with the phone given by Allexin. When she looked at the phone, Lynda felt very happy, although at times she felt uncomfortable because Allexin saved money just to give her such an expensive gift."Do you know that woman?" someone spoke while looking at Lynda from a distance."She came with Mr. Xander, maybe she's his sister," another person answered as there were two people now paying attention to Lynda."Mr. Xander doesn't have a sister, and I'm sure the woman sitting there is not his sister. She looks much younger than Mr. Xander. Is she his girlfriend?""I don't know. Hasn't Mr. Xander never
Hans returned after finishing his phone call, he saw Lynda and Nelvan taking turns in an odd manner. Hans sat in his seat, still looking at Lynda and Nelvan alternately."What's wrong with you? What happened while I left you for a few minutes?" Hans asked, puzzled.Lynda shook her head but also nodded. Hans furrowed his brow even more puzzled, but he chose not to discuss it when he noticed a bit of cream still on the corner of Nelvan's lips. Hans bit his lip to hold back a smile."Someone called me, so you two continue with dinner, don't mind me," Hans said as he left again to leave the two of them there.Hans wasn't entirely sure what had happened, but it was best not to disturb the two, maybe Nelvan could open his heart to Lynda.When Hans had left, Nelvan looked at Lynda, "Do you mind?" Nelvan asked."It's—no, not at all, it just surprised me. If you want, I can share it with you," Lynda replied."Great," Nelvan said, then he called a waiter to prepare another meal. Lynda took a ti
Several times Lynda knocked on Nelvan's door, but there was no response or sign that the door would be opened soon. Lynda turned to Hans, who was carrying Nelvan's medicine bag."His behavior has been strange since earlier, I'm worried something might have happened to Mr. Xander," Lynda said.Hans took over Lynda's position knocking on Nelvan's door, but still no response. Hans also tried to call Nelvan's number, but it was ignored, causing both of them outside Nelvan's door to panic."Nelvan! Don't make yourself force your way through the door!" Hans exclaimed, starting to feel that something was wrong. They had been in front of the door for about half an hour, and Nelvan wouldn't make anyone wait that long unless something had happened."Are you sure that when I left, Nelvan became very quiet?" Hans asked. Lynda nodded in agreement, unsure of what was happening with Nelvan.Hans sighed heavily, knocking on the door several times until finally the door opened. Nelvan, with his wet hai
