The farther you go, the more I chase
The night.
“Arsene said Jessica has been found!?”Mrs. Anna asked when Lexi took the time to have dinner together with his parents.
“Yups, but Jessica doesn’t want to go home this week. 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 the past.

During the day in the office space, Lexi couldn’t get Jessica out of his mind.
Several times, the man tried to focus on the agenda of his meetings with the Singapore company. However, he missed Jessica so bad.
The harder he tried to get Jessica out of his mind, the more real the image of his wife in the memory.
“Switch all my schedules today for tomorrow!” Lexi ordered. There were still two meetings with clients that he must attend after lunch.
“Yes sir” replied Arsene. “Wait, Where are you going?”
Arsene was astonished.
“I have another plan,” he answered briefly. He didn’t mean to break his heart to anyone, including Arsene.
“okay.” Although Arsene was doubtful, he still obeyed his boss.
“Oh yes, invite the staff to eat together after work tomorrow!” Lexi ordered again.
“Aren’t you hungry?” Lexi kept pestering Arsene with unimportant questions.
“Jessica, what are you doing?” Lexi thought.
“Who, Jessica? Does Mr. Lexi miss Miss. Jessica?” Arsene asked.
“No, I was just wondering what she was doing!” Lexi turned his eyes to the laptop screen pretending to be busy checking his email.
“Jessica is at work. Do I need to come to the cafe to make sure?”Arsene bid.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“Don’t you have to finish checking the report,” he denied. He didn’t want Arsene to be aware of himself missing Jessica.
“Yes, sir”” Arsene replied obediently, he focused on opening the next few folders.
Tired of thinking about Jessica all the time, Lexi got up from his seat. He grabbed the car keys on Arsene’s desk.
“Master, where is Lexi going?” Arsene asked as he saw his watch was still eleven o’clock, lunchtime was still an hour away.
“I need to get some fresh air!”
Only one place was Lexi’s destination at the moment, ADC cafe, where Jessica works.
“If Mr. Lexi is hungry, it’s better to have lunch first,” Arsene suggested. Maybe it was because the boss had been acting strangely ever since.
Hearing the word eat, Lexi had an idea to meet Jessica.
“What? You said you wanted to eat at the cafe where Jessica works! All right, let’s get over there!” he asked him. He didn’t want to admit that he wanted to see Jessica to ease his longing. One more week, even one day felt like a year.
Arsene smiled mockingly. Lexi sometimes incarnates as a teenager who was in love, making him feel amused and funny to see the behavior of his boss. It is called love. He didn’t know how long Lexi would continue to do that.
Arsene closed the laptop screen, because Lexi was waiting for him. They both went down to the parking lot. Lexi looked very enthusiastic.
The car started walking towards the cafe where Jessica worked, to ADC cafe, which now officially belongs to Lexi.
“Even faster!” Lexi rubbed his chin rough really pissed her off.
“Yes sir,” Arsene replied. This time it was clear that Lexi was looking forward to meeting his wife.
After twenty minutes, they arrived at the cafe. Arsene stopped his car in the parking area. He went down first and opened the door for Lexi.
The two men, walking side by side, entered and sat in one of the guest seats. The employees who recognized Lexi told Jessica to greet them to offer lunch while bringing the menu book to the men.
Jessica initially refused. However, Mr. Darno’s eyes that watched her from a distance made her obey.
“Please order,” Jessica offered, giving the menu book.
Arsene immediately took it, while Lexi just kept quiet.
“Do you still want to be here, Miss Jessica? It is better that you go home soon, or I’ll have to drive for thirty minutes just for lunch!” Arsene complained. He looked at Jessica and Lexi in turn.
Jessica chose silence.
“Why didn’t Mr. Lexi keep his promise?” Jessica was upset. Yesterday, Lexi had already promised not to see her for a week, but today her husband has already appeared before her again.
“You better not be too confident Jessica!” Lexi said, stealing glances at the girl.
“What do you mean?”
Jessica was surprised. She didn’t know what Lexi thought.
“I came here not wanting to see you! But I obey Arsene who wants to have lunch in this cafe! Isn’t that Secretary Arsene?!” Lexi was looking for support.
“Yes, I forced Mr. Lexi to have lunch here!” Arsene could only say yes to Lexi’s words, but in his heart he mad because Lexi didn’t want to admit his longing for Jessica.
“Alright, Mr. Lexi and Secretary Arsene what are you going to eat? ” Jessica asked kindly and politely.
“Anything!” Arsene replied.
“I don’t want to eat, I just need proof that you are not related to Beryl anymore!” his accusation.
“I’m out of touch with Beryl, my phone is gone and I don’t have any phone for communication. Stop accusing me and making my life difficult, Sir.” Jessica’s face looked pitiful.
“I’m not sure you’re being honest!” Lexi urged.
“Sir, I’m not lying! I don’t have a phone, the only thing I have right now is myself!” Jessica said firmly.
“Prove that you’re not lying Jessica!” Lexi kept cornering his woman. It was so nice to be so close to Jessica.
Jessica looked down, thinking for a moment. She was hoping to get an excuse that it made loose from Lexi’s accusations.
“Here I will help you prove it!”
Lexi grabbed Jessica’s hand, then led her out of the cafe to his car.
he was leaving Arsene, ignoring a few pairs of watching eyes. .
Lexi opened the back door of the car. He gently pushed Jessica in, then sat down.
Lexi moved to Jessica’s side, and didn’t forget to close the door.
“Then, what should I be …”Jessica couldn’t continue her word
Lexi forcibly kissed Jessica. Lexi did more. He couldn’t just shut up and watch Jessica. He could no longer stand not to kiss the sweet lips of his wife, who became his opium.
” Eemm, ” Jessica screamed .
Lexi stopped his kiss, giving pause for breath. Then, he kissed her back with something even more erotic.
Having had enough, Lexi unraveled her kiss.
“You just proved that you’re not lying Jessica!” Lexi said
“What does this mean Sir?”
‘Jessica, you’re so weak! How are you going to get away from Lexi if you always enjoy kissing her!’ Jessica was arguing with herself.

The next day, there was a special in the employee canteen. Lexi took the time to treat all the staff with food ordered from outside the company, must be bored with the menu in the cafeteria which was only perfunctory.
Arsene had arranged everything, so that the cafe where Jessica working provided lunch according to orders from Lexi.
At lunchtime, the staff and employees began to fill the cafeteria area. Some choose to have lunch outside.
“That’s Miss Jessica Sir!”Arsene told. Lexi had known about it ever since. For now Arsene still understood about Lexi’s prestige attitude.
The man got up from his seat and approached Jessica who was busy preparing drinks for the employees.
“Why is Mr. Lexi here, Mr. Lexi is still seeing me, can’t keep her promise!”Jessica protested, watching Lexi standing in front of her.
“Didn’t I hear wrong?” Lexi folded his arms around his chest feeling victorious.
“Master Lexi, follow me here right?” Jessica asked. Secretary Ken was used as an excuse yesterday, now who else.
“Too confident, Jess!”Lexi said.
“What! I’m here for delivering orders to this company!”Jessica answered confidently. “Master Lexi came here for following me right?!” Jessica blamed. Sure, if this time there was no reason that could save Lexi. He inevitably had to admit it.
“I own this company!”
Lexi answered proudly.
“What?” Jessica thoughtlessly. She is married to Lexi, but did not know much about her husband.
“Follow me!” Lexi’s order led Jessica, from the cafeteria they walked to the elevator. There were some employees who had not been waiting in front of the elevator. Seeing the owner of the company they retreated and let Lexi use the elevator first. However, their eyes, which could not stand still, stared questioningly at the woman who came with Lexi. She was wearing a black uniform complete with a dark apron, her hair was disheveled and her appearance was a complete mess. However, she still looked beautiful.
They started whispering, creating rumors. ‘Who is that woman?’
Elevator doors opened.
Only the two of them got into the elevator.
” Where are we going?” Jessica asked softly, starting to feel uncomfortable.
“I wanted to prove that I didn’t follow you, but you couldn’t believe me,” Lexi replied.
The elevator stopped on the top floor where Lexi’s office is located.
They walked side by side and Jessica’s hand was still in Lexi’s.
The man opened the door of his office. He let Jessica in with him.
“This is my office. So I’m not stalking you! Got it?” Lexi told.
“Yes, sir, I understand!”Jessica had to accept defeat.
Lexi felt victorious, he smiled slyly. It was a good idea to get rid of Jessica.
“Watch out, there are cockroaches!”Lexi shouted, knowing that Jessica had a phobia of insects.
“Aakkk,” she shouted, grabbing Lexi’s arm.
“Look, Jessica! You didn’t just come to my place of work! But you dare to hug me!” Lexi said with a seductive grin.
“No,” Jessica said, taking a step back.
Lexi walked forward cornering Jessica, forcing her to keep walking backwards.
Lexi was already passionate, Jessica’s touch made him powerless to want to pounce on her immediately.
Jessica stopped when her legs were blocked by the wall and could no longer move.
“Stop!”
Lexi put his hands next to the woman’s face, they looked at each other.
