Chap 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 close to her male best friend. Second, you do not calm down when Miss Jessica has not been found. You keep searching and will do anything to get Miss Jessica found. Three, you spend a considerable amount of money to buy a cafe ADC. Fourth, you keep looking for opportunities to continue to meet Miss Jessica! And the most obvious thing is that when you give up, I’ve never seen you give up and want to obey! But with Miss Jessica you don’t force it! That’s really amazing Sir!” Arsene explained obviously, he managed to corner Lexi with all the evidence he presented.
“Stop your bullshit! I did all that just to sleep with me!” Lexi firmly refused all of the secretary’s accusations against him.
“Actually, I told Kania to see Miss Jessica,” Arsene said. “Maybe they’ll meet now!” he added. To be honest, Arsene could not remain silent, leaving Lexi alone with his contract wife. Jessica has no one to exchange opinions or advise her.
“For what?” Lexi asked.
“I don’t know, Kania, herself, took the initiative to meet with Miss Jessica.” It can be said that Kania would be a mentor, so that Lexi did not want to be alone.
“Hah? I know, my distant cousin must have had bad intentions for me!” Lexi could only guess. Ever since then Kania, who was his distant cousin, had never sided with him in anything.
“Kania, actually being on Mr. Lexi’s side, she also cares about you but Kania never showed it in front of you.”
“I’m not that sure!” Lexi argued. Since then Kania has been a cousin sister who has never been on his side.

“I’m Kania, Arsene’s wife and Mr. Lexi’s distant cousin,” a beautiful young lady woman with an elegant appearance who is currently sitting in front of Jessica, was greeting her.
The ADC cafe looked quiet.
“I’m Jessica, but I’m sorry, I have no idea what your coming here means!” Jessica answered. This was the first time she met Arsene’s wife. The woman in front of her looked beautiful and fashionable. She really was a reflection of a woman who is the wife of a perfectionist and hardworking man like Secretary Arsene.
“No need to hesitate, here I just want to help you!” She looked at Jessica. From the look in her interlocutor’s eyes, Kania could feel the sadness Jessica felt. Silence, clearly sculpted in it.
“Oh,” Jessica stopped her.
“Come with me, I will take you home to my house and will take you home to the Ricardo family home!” Kania suggested.
“No, I don’t want to go there!” Jessica rejected quickly.
“Why! Don’t you like Lexi? I see you put your heart into him,” she guessed. She was already finding out more about Jessica, of course from Beryl and Chelsea.
“No I don’t like it!”Jessica looked down. Kania, she was stripping Jessica of her feelings for Lexi.
“Then, why did you come back from Bali first? You did it because you were jealous of Cassandra, right?”
“No! I just don’t like Mr. Lexi sleeping with other women, that morning I saw Cassandra come out of Mr. Lexi’s room!” she said. Jessica didn’t say that to anyone.
“Fix, you’re jealous that means you’re in love with Lexi! Now follow me and I’ll make sure to make Lexi reciprocate your feelings Jess!” Kania said. She took Jessica out of the cafe and got into his car.
In the car, Jessica was more silent. Kania was a stranger, but Jessica believed her. “Where are we going?”Jessica asked when the car stopped at a traffic light.
“I need to take you to the salon, after that I will take you to the residence of the Ricardo family,” Kania explained.
Jessica was silent, did not give a refusal. It meant that she agreed.
“Do not refuse! I’ll help you! Calm down!” Arsene’s wife told. “I’m sure Lexi will be nice and will fall for you!” she added.
Jessica glanced at her, she secretly assessed the seriousness of Kania’s speech. No lies there.
“So, what should I do?”
“You should know, here it is not you who need Lexi, but Lexi who needs you!” Kania talked. The traffic light turned green, she returned to run his car.
* * *
Jessica came down first. Kania walked behind her and approached a man who had been waiting for her ever since.
“Jessica, this is my brother, his name is Arvel, and will live here from today!” Kania told.
“Arvel this is Jessica, do you know what you should do?” Kania rolled her eyes at her brother. She had previously instructed Arvel on his duties here.
“Okay, I know what I have to do! Leave it all to me!” Arvel made sure. He invited Kania to go inside to meet Mrs. Anna and Mr. Samuel first.
Kania spoke briefly with Mrs. Anna, entrusting Jessica and Arvel to the middle-aged woman. “Honey, if you need help, call me!” she said. “I have to go home now,” she added. She was sure her plan this time would succeed in making Lexi confess her feelings for Jessica. Hopefully.
“Yes, be careful! Thank you again for caring and helping!” Mrs. Anna said
Kania nodded, she didn’t tell her why she had gone so far. She didn’t want Arsene to be blamed for Lexi’s actions. Then, she shook Mrs. Anna’s hand and immediately left the Ricardo family residence.
“Arvel, I’m sorry to make you have to go home to Jakarta sooner!” Mrs. Anna as she sat in the dining room chair. She chose to sit next to Jessica because she really missed her daughter-in-law.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“It’s all right, aunty,” he said, looking at Jessica, he realized that she was more silent. Arvel was thinking of reasons why Lexi wanted to marry the girl sitting in front of him. Except for having a pretty face, Jessica was very different from Lexi’s late wife.
(Sounds of Lexi’s footsteps)
“Jessica, are you home?” Lexi asked in amazement.
“Yes, my brother-in-law is home!” Arvel was excited.
“Why are you here?” Lexi asked, he never thought to meet Arvel at his house
“No, I have no particular reason. But I’m here just to make sure who the woman is your wife!” Arvel answered.
“What Do You Mean?!” Lexi asked.
“Do you remember when mom was trying to get Jessica married if it’s not you?” Lexi seemed to remember the incident some time ago. “The good man she meant is me, Arvel!” he said obviously.
“Then, why is he here?”
“Think about it!” Mrs. Anna did not explain, but made Lexi wonder more and more what the purpose of Arvel’s arrival really was.
