Going To Singapore?
It’s been this whole month. Lexi never slept well, he always thought about Jessica and always felt guilty for what his father had done.
If in the past he dared to go to Singapore to regain his courage to fight for Jessica, it was different now . Yeah, he’s obviously guilty. It was clear that his father was involved in the death of both of Jessica’s parents. It was natural that the woman did not want to see him again.
Lexi tried to be patient. He still continued to go to work as best he could. There was Arsene and his mother who always supported him.
In front of them and in front of their employees, Lexi never showed sadness. He didn’t want to make the people who loved him sad because he had to feel what he was feeling right now.
His feelings for Jessica were not easily forgotten. One month was not a short time for him to hold back longing, for someone like Lexi who loves Jessica very much. A month was so long and so hard.
He didn’t know how to deal with Jessica. What was clear was that he had not dared to show his face in front of the woman, the woman he loves so much, the woman who was still legally his wife. However, he had not been able to meet her for a month.
On several occasions, Lexi wanted to go to Singapore and meet Jessica. But after thinking about it, he didn’t dare.
Remember the last time Jessica left his house without seeing his face. Lexi’s heart felt sad when he remembered about it.
“Sir, this is your schedule for next week, today you are free from your work schedule and can go home right now,” Arsene said, putting a piece of paper that had just been given by the planning team.
Lexi just nodded slowly. His gaze blankly looked out the glass. He looked at the empty sky.
“You heard me, right?” Arsene walked over and stood right in front of Lexi waving his right hand.
“Yes, I hear you,” he answered without hesitation. Lexi looked very thin. He also left his mustache and sideburns elongated.
“Sir, I hope you don’t daydream often. You could be in a trance” Arsene joked. Ever since Lexi’s father died. Jessica’s return was short-lived. Then, it went again. Lexi seemed to lose his spirit. The man was now more often seen as aloof and moody. Sometimes he also daydreamed for a long time, when he was alone or when he was not busy with work.
“No I can’t possibly be possessed. I think I’m numb. I can’t help but Miss Jessica. How about this?” Finally, Lexi could not bear the longing alone. And only Arsene could understand what was in his heart.
“In my opinion, you should go to Singapore to meet Mr. Freddy Kim in person, that way you can be reunited with Miss Jessica. I’m sure Miss Jessica still has feelings for you. She ever told me that you were his first love. I am very sure that women do not easily forget her first love. It’s only been a month, it’s never too late for you to fight for it,” Arsene said, trying to offer a solution for Lexi who really missed Jessica. It could be said, the love charmer was his side job. “Regarding the company as things have started to stabilize, Ronald and I will try our best to replace you for a while, as long as you are in Singapore,” he added.
Silence.
Lexi pondered, weighing the advice of his secretary.
“Should I go to Singapore again? I really want to go there, it’s okay if I have to meet Freddy Kim, Daniel Kim, or David Kim. What I’m afraid of is that Jessica doesn’t want to see me anymore.” Lexi expressed a complaint in his heart.
“Wait you’ll never know before you try it, for a month now you and Miss Jessica have not been in touch with each other. I’m sure what Miss Jessica is feeling right now is the same as what she is feeling by you, Mr. Lexi. Does Mr. Lexi misses her too?” Arsene asked.
“Of course I miss Jessica.”
“I’m pretty sure Miss Jessica misses Mr. Lexi as well.” Arsene uttered it steadily.
“Thank you. I want to talk to my mom. I want to go to Singapore or not. You know right now mommy is the only place I exchange opinions,” Lexi replied calmly. This time his spirit was like never before.
“Yes sir I agree, with your opinion,” Arsene replied with a smile and gave Lexi two thumbs up.
“Well I’m going home now, you also have to go home soon,” he said as he took his bag.
Lexie stood up from her seat. He walked and got into the elevator which immediately drove him to the ground floor. Then, he moved towards the parking area and got into his car.
Lexi sat behind the wheel, with his right hand she turned the key to start the car. Then, he started driving and speeding his car at medium speed towards his house.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
He was always thinking of Jessica. Throughout the day and when he was not busy with anything, for a month he always thought of Jessica. And only focused on the woman.
30 minutes had passed and he was home. Lexi stopped his car in the garage. Next he got out of the car and immediately went into the house.
Lexi walked through the living room to the dining room and looked for his mother in the kitchen. There was a maid who said that Mrs. Anna was still in her room.
Without waiting long, Lexi walked quickly to Mrs. Anna’s room. What he just talked about with Arsene, he wanted to talk about with his mother. He wanted to hear his mother’s opinion if he wanted to go back to Singapore to improve relations with his wife.
“Can I get in?” Lexi asked.
“Yes,” Mrs. Anna, who immediately turned her head when she heard her son’s voice, answered.
“Look Mom, I want to ask your opinion if I want to go to Singapore to pick up Jessica, will you let me go to Singapore?” Lexi asked with her head lowered not because he was afraid, but he was pessimistic about Jessica still wanting to meet him or not.
“I think I’ll go with you, Lexi, if you’re sure you want to go to Singapore to meet up with Jessica. I’ll pray for you anyway. You yourself know what you think is best.” His mother was very confident in the decision made by her son.
“I want to go to Singapore next week. Can you pray for me, I hope I can meet Jessica?”
“Of course, I will always wish good things for you, Lexi. I know you love Jessica. You have to fight for your love. You are innocent, the guilty one was your late dad. So you don’t have to be afraid. You just have to explain to Mr. Freddy Kim, Jessica and his two grandsons that it’s all your dad’s fault, not yours. You got it!” Hearing Lexi start to fight for Jessica, she was happy.
“Yes, mom, I understand.”
“Then what about the company Arsene will take it, right as long as you’re in Singapore?” the middle-aged woman.
“Take it easy, mom. There is Ronald, he is always willing to help Arsene, anyway starting next month, Arvel is willing to help me in the Ricardo group. I’m sure with the Arvel, Ricardo Group will get better.”
Mrs. Anna nodded, convinced that Lexi had always made her believe that all would be well and return to normal.
