Bad feeling

[ I’ll see them for you, Jess. This afternoon if you can go, you call me first ]

Lexi reads a message from Chelsea on Jessica’s phone. He wanted to know who they wanted to meet. Lexi understood Jessica’s intentions last night when she asked permission to go out with Chelsea. He didn’t want to ruin his good relationship between himself and Jessica these days, Lexi intended to distract his wife from it.

Before Jessica finished bathing, Lexi immediately contacted Ronald.

“Hello,” Ronald said from across the phone.

“Ronald,” Lexi stopped his words. He came out of the room because he did not want Jessica to suddenly come and hear their conversation.

“Yes, Sir!”

“Today, you follow Jessica’s friend, Chelsea. I want to know who she will meet, you need to find out everything. Including what they are talking about! Got it?” There was an emphasis in Lexi’s tone of voice.

“Yes, sir, I understand!”

“Good, then you just have to report to me if something suspicious happens,” Lexi suggested. All about Jessica he wanted to know everything. So it was time to know more. He didn’t know why his wife would lie to him.

The phone call ended.

Lexi went back to his room while he was looking for a way for Jessica to forget about her meeting with people today. People Jessica wanted to meet. Lexi got a bad feeling because his wife was trying to lie to him.

“Is there an important schedule today?” Lexi asked as the phone rang.

“There was a meeting with representatives from the Kim Foundation and Kim Corporation this morning, Sir. They want to meet you in person without representation!” Arsene said on the other side of the phone.

“What about the afternoon and evening schedule?” Lexi asked.

“There is a schedule from the Planning Division regarding the construction of city parks. However, if you cannot attend, I can attend and deal with it.” Regarding the city park development project, Arsene understood better because all processes work together from the beginning to this second. It was more about jumping in and making decisions.

“Well then, after the schedule in the morning at noon I go home and will take my wife for a walk. You know, Jessica seems to be very sleepy because I always lock her up at home!”

“Yes, sir, leave it all to me!”

“All right.”

The phone call ended, coinciding with Jessica who had just finished taking a shower.

“You can change your clothes, right? Should I help you wear it?” Lexi teased.

” I can do it by myself,” Jessica replied, walking to the wardrobe. She changed her clothes and was about to go to the dining room to have breakfast with Mr. Samuel and Mrs. Anna.

“Please take care of Jessica. I’m going to take her for a walk this afternoon. I hope he didn’t go anywhere this morning,” Lexi said. His premonition said that he must prevent Jessica’s meeting with the mysterious man.

“Of course, Jessica can’t go out on her own if she’s not with you!” His mother said.

“Where are you taking Jessica?” Mr. Hadi asked. He didn’t usually involve conversation.

“That’s a secret, Dad! Stay at home and take care of Jessica, okay?!” Lexi said warmly. “I’m grateful for everything,” he said. Moreover, Lexi made the decision of Jessica’s head and started working right now.

“Mom, Dad, I’m going to my room now.” Jessica left the dining room. She remembered Chelsea’s messages. She was impatient to hear news from Chelsea.

The room door was open. Jessica went in and locked it. She quickly picked up the phone and called Chelsea.

“How is Chelsea, are you ready to meet that guy?” Jessica asked immediately.

“No, I’ll see them in the afternoon,” Chelsea said. “So, does Mr. Lexi allow you to go out today?” Chelsea asked. The first time she brought Jessica to meet the two people. It could be, that person would be given a clue about her parents.

“No, Mr. Lexi left this morning. In the afternoon, he would take me for a walk. That means I can’t see that guy. You know, since my back was hurt ago. He became very protective.” There was happiness, but there was also a negative with Lexi’s attitude at the moment.

“Okay, let me see them for you.” Chelsea believed that she could do something for her best friend.

“You know what you should do, right?”

“Yes I know!”

“Thank you, I believe you.”

The phone call ended. From morning to noon, Jessica spent time in her room. She chose to obey what her husband said by not leaving this house. Lexi, already a figure she could trust in any case. Yes, Jessica was already in love, and Lexi could make Jessica trust completely.

“Who am I going to see this morning?” Lexi asked. He knew that the Kim Foundation and Kim Corporation were big corporations in Singapore. Not only in Southeast Asia, but also in the top 10 richest companies in Asia. Freedy Kim, as the owner of the company, is a man who is currently over sixty years old and is still actively leading his company.

“I don’t know sir, but it’s most likely between David Kim or Daniel Kim. One of those who proposed a meeting with you, sir!”Arsene explained by looking at the map in his right hand.

“What was their purpose in seeing me? Did they change their mind about giving the Ricardo Group the city park project?” Lexi began to worry, because the construction of the city park is a mega project that has been targeted by the company since last year.

“I don’t know sir, but according to the news I know, they are not at all interested in city development because they are focusing on building several resorts in Lombok and Bali island!” Arsene answered obviously.

“Good then! When exactly am I supposed to meet them?” Lexi asked. He still couldn’t guess what purpose the Kim Family wanted to meet him personally. Sure enough, it wasn’t about work. But what?

“An hour later, at the Queen’s resto. They have already booked a private room for a meeting with you this time!” Arsene told obviously.

Silent..

“Secretary Arsene, do you really not know the reason they want to see me?”

“Sorry, sir, I really don’t know the main reason they want to meet personally with you.”

“Well, I went there by myself,” Lexi said.

“Yes, Sir!”

Lexi arrived ten minutes earlier than them. However, the employees from the Kim Foundation and the Kim Corporation had already arrived first. It was clear that they considered this personal meeting important.

“Good morning, Mister,” Lexi greeted a man who was waiting for him.

“Good morning, nice to meet you, Mister Lexi Ricardo. Let me introduce myself. I am Daniel Kim,” the man who is the first grandson of the Kim family reached out his hand.

“Nice to meet you, Mister Daniel.” Lexi shook the man’s hand and occasionally looked into his two eyeballs.

“Before this, I say thank you because you have taken the time to meet me in the middle of your busy work schedule,” he said. “I’ve called the receptionist three times and they always refuse to have a private meeting with you,” he added.

“I’m sorry,” Lexi said quietly.

“Let me tell you shortly, Mister, because I’m not smart in small talk like a Javanese, so I’ll say my intention and purpose to meet you.” Daniel Kim paused his words. He was taking time to stare at his serious expression.

Lexi was only shut up. He heard every word of the great man before him. Daniel Kim would inherit the entire Kim family fortune, including the top ten most influential businessmen in the past five years.

“Do you know this man? From what I searched before, I got the info that this person is your wife, is that true?” Daniel gave Lexi two photos.

Lexi’s right hand received the two photographs. He observed it closely. Photo of a little girl, about six years old. Hier face resembled that of his wife. However, Lexi wasn’t sure it was Jessica. Not only that, he was afraid. He was afraid to admit that the girl’s face is similar to his wife.

‘So, where does Daniel Kim have the photo?’ He himself as the husband of Jessica did not have a photo of his wife when she was a child. The only photo he had during a vacation to Bali some time ago.

“It’s similar to my wife as a child, but I’m not sure if this is a picture of her as a child,” Lexi said honestly.

“In that case, may I see your wife, I want to confirm it.” Both Daniel and Lexi stared intently. A shield began to appear between them.

Lexi was riveted.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“I don’t like strangers meeting my wife, she means a lot to me and I wouldn’t allow her to meet anyone.” A bad feeling that flashed through Lexi’s mind drove him to give an answer that the interlocutor did not want to hear. It seemed Lexi was rejected.

“Do you know who the girl in the photo is?” the first grandson of the Kim family asked emphatically.

“Sorry, I’m not interested. I do not know and do not want to know!” Lexi nodded his head. He looked at him sharply. He gave a deadly gaze to Daniel Kim.

“Are you trying to fight me, don’t you know how powerful the Kim family is?” Daniel was trying to make an impact.

“Does that have anything to do with this matter?” Lexi challenged. The shadow of Jessica’s face, her smile suddenly filled the mind.

“Don’t you understand? that is a matter, the Kim Foundation and the Kim Corporation could cripple the Ricardo Group’s business!” Daniel threatened because Lexi didn’t respond well to his intentions. Lexi impressed him with bad attitude.

“I tell you, the six-year-old girl is Elsa Dania Kim, my younger sister and the only granddaughter of the Kim family. So, I hope you don’t show your anger in front of me.”

“I, Lexi Ricardo is the legal husband of Jessica. Our marriage is legal according to the law and religion. Since I am a husband, I have the right to prohibit my wife from meeting people whom she does not need to meet. And I’m sorry, I don’t know your sister. I have to leave first, Mister Daniel,” Lexi got out of his seat. He decided to leave and not stay there long.

“Alright, if you make it difficult for me, see for yourself what consequences you will have!”

Lexi stopped the move. He focused on the threat that the Kim family had just said. The man was unmoved, before he finally getting out of the private room of Queen Resto.
