Sofia immediately turns away while holding her cry, with one hand holding her head due to some pressure in her mind. She has the reason to not let this issue become a spectacle for the public. But now, their quarrel has drawn a few people’s attention even after Boris has deliberately taken them to a quiet place.
Not wanting to complicate the matter, she is finally forced to give in a little and open up some room for Alex to negotiate with things.
“Okay, I’ll let you see her! But she will always live with me in my house,” she offers.
“That’s not fair!” Alex argues.
He then starts thinking for a moment impatiently, before offering his own option. “Let her live with me for 15 days in a month, and she will live with you the next 15 days.”
Sofia immediately turns around, and shows her contorted fa
“Heh?! Really?”It takes him a few seconds to realize he is getting unfair treatment because of his look and appearance. It was due to his own self-confidence, which had been built during his years as a boss with good stature. He didn't expect that he would get such a treatment when entering a car shop.Actually, all of them are not cheap items. Everything he currently wears is the best product that can maintain their quality after many years. It's just that they are not in their best condition anymore.Not to mention Alex's recent activity since yesterday, which some people have mistaken him as a beggar. Knowing the situation, he simply takes a long sigh with a tired face.“Look! I may not look like them, and I don’t have any intention to buy those two-doors cars. But I’m also a customer,” Alex explains.And again
The only thing that keeps that new employee there is that his senior told him to, and he doesn’t want to abandon the task since he is still so new with the work. And Alex, he is still glancing around to look for the car he wants to buy, like he really wants something.The new guy takes a brief look at the other sales persons. There he finds three employees having a gossip together while taking a glance toward him.Indeed, they are currently making a joke about the new guy and Alex, with that lady named Lea becoming the source material for their gossip.“Just as I thought, that man is not going to buy anything,” she says.“Let that junior of yours take a lesson from there!”“He better learn how to judge people sooner. Or else, he is going to waste his time with paupers who only pretend to be rich.”They giggle in amusement at the current condition of that new guy they call Junior. Without them realizing, Alex is really looking for a car with the best safety system, which Junior believe
Junior the new guy approaches Lea, and teases her childishly from behind.“Another failure, huh?”“Nope! I believe he is going to come back soon. Can’t you even judge people based on their look?”“Everyone can fake their appearance nowadays,” says Junior.“Stupid! Look at that! He came here with a…” Lea is silent for a moment as she feels familiar with the car that Dylan rides in. “Oh, isn’t that the Mercedes S600 Guard you were talking about before?”“Yes, it does look like one.”“See! Unlike the pauper you served, that handsome is a luxury car hunter. I have strong confidence in my ability in judging people!”She then leaves the new guy by raising her chin high. So little does she know, that ca
But to do that, she has to swallow her pride, and all the bad insults she had launched at Alex yesterday. If it’s all for money, she is willing to cast her pride aside.“Oh, you're much fresher than yesterday,” she says as a greeting.“That’s the benefit of having a whole night good rest,” replies Alex composedly, without taking his attention from the car he is going to purchase.Lea immediately starts the introduction, describing all the good aspects and features that one car has.“Mercedes S600 Guard, huh? You really have an eye for the best car for businessmen,” she starts before walking toward the left door and opens it.Alex takes a walk to look at the interior of the car. But he doesn’t get too near, simply glancing at it briefly from 1 meter away.“This one
The manager doesn’t deal with Lea too long for this moment. He simply makes sure to her that he isn’t finished yet, while he still has something else to do. He finds the need to fix things with Alex first. It won’t be good if what Lea has done leaves a bad impression on him. “Junior! Can you leave us for a second!” “Yes, Sir!” Bennet waits for a moment for that new employee leaving him and Alex alone before expressing an apology to Alex. But Alex is the first one who begins the talk. “Really, you shouldn’t be too hard on him.” Those words shake Bennet’s attention. He then just smiles awkwardly, and then expresses his apology on behalf of his staff. “I’m sorry for the inconvenience you had yesterday. It was my fault for not being here. If only she knew you were “The Pupil” of Rodolfo Vega, she wouldn’t treat you that way.” “It was indeed your fault,” replies Alex after giving a chuckle. “But it’s not about you not being here yesterday.” There, Bennet gets the feeling he is goin
Not accepting this treatment, Alex intends to approach the middle-aged man. However, just after taking three steps to cross the road, he also notices other neighbors, two women in their 30s, walking while leading their dog.“Oh, look at that! He has come home,” says one of the two women.“It seems he is indeed a jobless man,” says the other. “Yesterday I noticed he also came home at this hour, and never left the house after that until the night.”“Did you keep observing his house?”“Of course! We can't just ignore a stranger like that in this neighborhood. What if he really is a terrorist like Melvin said.”Alex realizes the two women are whispering. And from the way they talk while glancing at him with their usual unfriendly glances, it makes him feel like he is the one being gossiped about
It’s clear it was that old man himself who told Alex to join Rodolfo Vega’s family. And Alex did it, and stayed with them for more than 10 years after Rodolfo’s death. And now that old man asks him the reason he left the island, which is quite odd for him to find. But he opts to turn quiet. He tries to ponder, not immediately argues with the old man. Unlike how he behaves with other people, he always tries to humble himself in front of Morgan Davis. “So, you’ve learned about the divorce too?” he asks. “Yeah,” replies Morgan Davis shortly. “It wasn’t me who left her. Someone had conspired against me, and purposely created the situation to trigger this divorce. I don't think it's that difficult to uncover who the mastermind is. It's just that it would be a waste of time,” explains Alex. “Is that so?” replies Morgan flat. “Look, old man! I’ve done what you asked me to do. I’ve helped that family, and even married Rodolfo’s daughter, just as you told me.” Morgan averts his face tow
He examines the car plate number at the back, intending to mark that car. But soon he notices the plate number of that car is changing, like they deliberately try to hide their identity in public. And Alex knows marking that plate number is useless. A taxi appears slowly driving toward him. He raises his hand, and calls for it. He has gone too far from his house with the workout, so he opts to use the taxi to get home. And just like the other days, him coming back home with a taxi draws the same neighborhood attention. “He has a car, yet he uses a taxi?” “Told you, he must be only a driver. And looking at his tracking suit, he could just be a bodyguard for someone rich. I believe he is preparing for work now.” Meanwhile, Alex finds the old lady Laura from the next door picking something in front of his house. He stops for a moment and looks around. The same shit happens with so many dog poops scattered around. And unlike yesterday when the poop only scattered on the side of the r
