Alex quickly rushed back, deciding to take a short break, considering how he's been going in and out while carrying drinks for the guests.Alex didn't expect the waitstaff's job to be so exhausting, especially as an unpaid helper like himself."I can't believe Bayu is taking advantage of me and making me a waiter," Alex muttered as he placed the tray on the table and sat down in one of the chairs at the back.He observed several waiters who were busy serving food and drinks to the guests, causing Alex to sigh heavily and exhale roughly.He had no idea how many guests Bayu invited, but it seemed like there was no end to the number of people coming.While Alex was resting, suddenly another waiter approached him with both hands on his hips."Well, while the others are busy serving food and drinks, you're just relaxing here," the waiter protested upon seeing Alex sitting leisurely.Seemingly, the man didn't know that Alex was not a waiter but rather a guest asked to help with the drinks.
Lisa and some guests who heard Alex's explanation looked surprised. Some of them started to look at Bayu with different eyes, feeling unhappy with his behavior towards Alex.However, Bayu tried to remain calm and forced a fake smile. He attempted to defend himself by saying, "I'm sorry, maybe there was a little misunderstanding. I didn't mean to force Alex; it's just that the situation got a bit chaotic. Let me handle this."But it seemed Bayu's explanation wasn't very convincing. Some guests continued to stare at him, and some moved closer to Alex to show their support."Are you okay?" one of the concerned guests asked Alex."I'm fine; I just feel guilty for causing a scene," Alex replied with a forced smile.Seeing the support Alex received from some guests, he felt relieved and smiled. He believed that embarrassing Bayu was the right decision, especially since Bayu dared to exploit him like this."You should have refused. I did notice you carrying drinks earlier, and I thought you
Hearing the evil intentions Bayu would commit, Alex couldn't just stay silent. Even though he's not very close to Lisa, who is Bayu's girlfriend, he still knows Bayu's actions are not good.Actually, Alex never expected Bayu to act this way, but he's sure that Bayu has malicious intentions towards Lisa, the person he was referring to."But, is the person Bayu meant really Lisa?" Alex muttered to himself in confusion.Alex nodded, convinced that the person Bayu referred to is indeed Lisa, considering she is the only woman close to Bayu now, and Bayu intends to make Lisa drink an invisible drug for reasons Alex doesn't understand.Alex went out to find Lisa's whereabouts. He ran frantically, heart pounding, until he finally found her and breathlessly told her what he heard from Bayu.Lisa frowned when she saw Bayu suddenly approach her, gasping for breath. She couldn't understand what was happening with him."Lisa, you have to be careful. I overheard Bayu talking to a waiter about makin
Alex fell silent for a moment, trying to think about what he truly wanted from his request. Various options crossed his mind, from wealth and power to personal happiness.However, he realized that those desires were too difficult to achieve, especially becoming wealthy, which would require a significant amount of time. Power was something he had never considered before, making it even more unrealistic."What do I really want right now?" Alex mumbled, feeling a bit confused.No, not confused, but rather something realistic for a single wish tonight.He took a deep breath, trying to be more focused and realistic in his thinking. He wanted to ensure that his request would have a significant and meaningful impact in a short amount of time.He remembered Lisa, a woman who might be in danger due to someone's actions. This seemed like a perfect opportunity for Alex – not just a good opportunity, but a real stroke of luck."I want to enter this building. Make it so I can enter the building an
That morning, the sun's rays started to penetrate the gaps in Alex's bedroom curtains, gently illuminating the room. Alex felt extremely tired after a sleepless night. Annoyed, Alex reached for the mobile phone buzzing on the bedside table and checked who was calling."Good morning, Mr. Alex! I know you might have just woken up, but there's a problem with the water pipes in your apartment. Can you come down to the lobby immediately?" A voice on the other end of the phone made Alex furrow his brow."Morning? Is it already morning?" mumbled Alex, glancing at the clock on the nightstand.Alex's eyes widened when they saw it was already 7:00 AM. They hadn't realized the time had passed so quickly after staying up all night."Mr. Alex, are you still there?" The voice on the phone brought Alex back from their reverie."Yes, I'm here. Sorry, I just woke up, so I wasn't really focused on what you were saying.""No problem. I apologize for the inconvenience. We'll try to fix the issue as soon
Alex walked and tried to ignore his mixed feelings after meeting Lisa. He decided to find the nearest food stall to have breakfast.At the food stall, Alex ordered fried rice and hot tea. While waiting for his order to be ready, he reflected on the encounter with Lisa. His heart was still pounding, and he felt somewhat confused by Lisa's behavior."Did she dress like that just to tease me?" Alex muttered to himself.Alex continued to think about what had just happened. He never expected to see Lisa dressed so provocatively."Does Lisa often dress like that?"As Alex was lost in thought, he suddenly heard something unpleasant. Somehow, even though the distance was quite far, Alex could hear the conversation of a few men outside the stall, still gossiping about someone."Do you know? I saw a woman dressed so seductively. If I meet her, I really want to touch those breasts.""Are you serious? You actually saw her?" one of the three men asked, still gossiping about someone."Of course. My
Lisa was shocked to see Alex's bruised face, and it left her speechless. His face wasn't bruised like this before, so she couldn't understand what had happened suddenly."Lisa, are you okay?" Alex asked, noticing her silence and concern.Alex knew that Lisa must have been shocked to see his bruised face because he had been trying to hide it from her earlier. But now, she was standing right in front of him, aware of the situation."Alex, what happened to you?" she asked worriedly, trying to approach him.The surprise was still evident on Lisa's face. She couldn't help but be shocked to see Alex in such a battered state, especially since he looked fine the last time they met.Alex shook his head slightly, trying to reassure Lisa. "Just a minor accident. It's okay," he said, attempting to smile despite the pain."What happened?" Alex finally asked.It seemed that Alex wasn't too pleased with Lisa's presence. He had even bought breakfast for her, but now he was wondering why she had come
Alex felt conflicted after seeing the rewards offered by the holographic board. While he desperately needed the money to help his mother, the mission seemed challenging and risky. It couldn't be easy, considering the substantial reward at stake, possibly equivalent to several months' worth of his salary."Is this for real?" Alex whispered, his heart pounding.Without hesitation, Alex followed the instructions displayed on the holographic board to start the mission. It seemed impossible not to proceed, given how much he needed the money.After following the instructions, suddenly, Alex felt a strange force hurling his body, and he found himself in a place that clearly wasn't his apartment."Where am I? How did I end up here?" Alex looked confused, realizing he was no longer in his apartment.Alex tried to survey the surroundings, but there was no sign of anyone nearby, leaving him utterly puzzled."Where am I? Why is there only a vast expanse of sand like this?"While Alex was in bewil
