Chap 61

The morning at work Lexi was busied in with a pile of files on her desk. He saw Arsene sitting next to him with a lot of things he wanted to tell and say. However, he only paused for a moment to focus on his work first.
“Hah!” Lexi grumbled, forced to leave a pile of files on his desk. “Arsene!” call him.
“Yes,” Arsene said, who was already waiting for Lexi to say something.
“You and I,” Lexi asked. He walked closer to his secretary. “You go first!” he added.
“Well sir, it’s about Chelsea yesterday. The man she met was Daniel Kim. They both met right after you left Queen’s Resto.” Arsene said according to the information he gave.
“So, is that it?” Lexi lowered his head, a bad feeling filled his mind more and more.
“Then what are you talking about with Daniel Kim, Sir?” Arsene asked from what was implied on the boss’s face, he was sure there must have been something going on with their meeting yesterday.
“Daniel Kim was looking for Jessica. He wanted to meet him, but I did not allow it!” Lexi lowered his head. He looked at the two hands clasped together.
“What is the relationship between the owner of the Kim Foundation and the Kim Corporation looking for Miss Jessica?” Arsene investigated. Lexi’s face was getting darker. The man sank deeper and deeper, hiding his face.
“She said Jessica was the last grandchild of the Kim Family, the only granddaughter of the Kim family who disappeared twelve years ago,” Lexi said. Well we didn’t know, maybe it’s just him who thought this was bad news.
Silence.
Arsene was stunned to hear the information that had just been thrown by Lexi. Jessica is not from a poor family. She is a descendant of the Kim family. “Why don’t you want Miss Jessica to meet them, Sir? Wouldn’t that make Jessica happy?” Arsene asked, he did not know what made the man prevent his wife from meeting her real family.
“You know I have a sexual disorder, right? Which noble family will accept me as their son-in-law! After all, I’m sure the Kim family would not accept to know what I did to Jessica first! I once robbed her of her honor, I once forced her to marry me!” Lexi was full of regrets. He realized that all this time he was too arrogant. He meant for Jessica.
What happened today made him realize that he couldn’t do that.
Arsene was sure he was right, what Lexi said was true. Kim’s family would definitely not be that easy to give their blessing to Jessica and his boss’s relationship especially after knowing that Lexi treated Jessica so badly.
“Until when are you going to hide that fact from Miss Jessica, Sir? I don’t think Daniel Kim will stay silent. They will definitely do something, find a way to meet Miss Jessica!” Arsene could know what was in the mind of his boss.
“I don’t know, I just feel like my time with Jessica isn’t much anymore! Daniel Kim, he threatened me!” Lexi’s voice was barely audible.
“Sir, isn’t it alright that you speak well, or else you will lose everything, Sir. Daniel Kim is notorious for his ruthlessness with the law. By not trusting the man to meet Miss Jessica it means, you are already on his list of enemies.” All of his eyeballs were staring at Lexi who was getting more resigned and helpless.
“I, I still want to live with Jessica! I wanna be with her forever!”
“Yes, you have to help them!” Arsene persuaded.
“They will never be like me!”
Lexi walked from her place, moving towards the toilet. Perhaps he is at a turning point in his life. Lexi didn’t want Arsene to see it.

Jessica just sat in her room. She was thinking for a good excuse to get out of the house to meet Chelsea. Then, she took her phone and started calling her husband.
“Hello,” Lexi said on the phone.
“Honey, Mrs. Grace got sick, I’ll go see her,” Jessica said flatly.
“Wait until I get home let’s go visit her together!” Lexi said. He became suspicious and could not let Jessica out of the house.
“I want to go there now!” Jessica forced. She had to meet Chelsea so she could ask Chelsea about the two men who were looking for her.
“Alright, then let Ronald take you, wait!” Lexi persuade.
“Yes, my dear, I will wait!” Jessica said. Although accompanied by Ronald, it was not a problem because the most important thing was that she could meet Chelsea.
In less than thirty minutes, Ronald arrived at the apartment.
“Miss, Are you ready?” Ronald asked, he found Jessica opening the door for him.
“I’ve been waiting too long!” Jessica said.
“Well then let’s get down now,” Ronald asked.
They both walked to the elevator. It brought them to the basement.
“Miss, Mrs. Anna is in the car and wants to come visit Mrs. grace,” Ronald said when they arrived at the parking area.
“Really?”
“Yes, Miss.”
Ronald walked over first, then opened the door for Jessica.
“Please get in, Miss.”
Jessica sat in the back seat where Mrs. Anna was also sitting there.
“What is Mrs. Grace sick about?” Mrs. Anna asked. She was hearing that Mrs. Grace who used to take care of Jessica was sick, she wanted to visit immediately.
“Mrs. Grace is just exhausted, Mom,” Jessica replied.
Her lies will soon be exposed.
“Oh, yes. I’m going to take you to the orphanage, I haven’t seen her in a long time.” Mrs. Anna looked Jessica, she could feel her nervousness. However, choosing indifferent. “Jess, after this, we should go to our home huh?” she added. “It feels like no home without you!” Mrs. Anna, who from the beginning loved Jessica very much, said.
She had no daughter, and the presence of a daughter-in-law in her house was always made her glad.
“Yes, Mom. I’ll be home soon!” Jessica said.
It didn’t feel like the car they were riding had arrived in front of the Kasih Bunda orphanage building. Ronald went down first, opening the door for Mrs Anna and Jessica. After the two women came into the orphanage, he didn’t forget to call Lexi.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Jessica and Mrs. Anna finally meet Mrs. Grace. Fortunately, Mrs. Grace was involved in the act, so Mrs. Anna did not suspect anything.
[I’m waiting in the back garden of the orphanage. Come here soon, and I’ll take you to meet the man I met yesterday ]
Jessica read a message from Chelsea. Before she left, she looked for the right reason.
“Mom, I’ll go back first, I want to see the other orphanage administrators,” Jessica pretended.
“Yes.”
After receiving approval from her mother, Jessica moved from her seat. She immediately went to Chelsea, because she couldn’t wait to hear the story from his best friend.
