A little care
These three days, Lexi always looked after Jessica in the hospital. He acompanied her to sleep, feed her food, helped her take medicine, and obeyed all Jessica’s wishes. The only thing Lexi didn’t do was petrify Jessica into taking a shower and changing her clothes. The activity was carried out by the nurses and assisted by their maids. This time Lexi just finished calling Arsene and went back to wait for Jessica.
The door to the treatment room was opened. The maid walked out and approached his master. “Sir, Miss Jessica is done, you can come in now! I’ll be home soon!” she smiled and felt happy with Lexi’s attitude that has been so considerate with Jessica lately.
“Mom, are you coming this afternoon?” Lexi asked.
“I don’t know, Sir. Is there anything I can help you with?” the maid answered, she was still standing in front of Lexi, waiting for orders from this man.
“If I can I want the maid or mom thus afternoon come to the hospital to bring rice cake and satay, those are Jessica’s favorite, it might be she was bored with the hospital menu,” Lexi ordered.
“Okay, Sir!” the maid smiled back. Lexi’s attitude was now much different from that time, the time he brought Jessica to the villa for the first time. “Anything else?” she offered.
“Please prepare a room in first floor, maybe the doctor will let Jessica go home this afternoon, hopefully!” he asked.
“Okay, Sir, I will prepare a room downstairs, how about the room Miss Jessica used to occupy the room close to the back garden?” she recommended the room, because Jessica had stayed there, especially the room near the back garden are the largest rooms on the first floor.
“Good!”
“Well, I am going home now!”
Lexi nodded his head then went into Jessica’s room. He sat on the couch next to Jessica.
“You want to eat now?” Lexi looked at Jessica’s eyes.
“No I just ate the bread that the maid brought, and I also just took medicine! So full!” Jessica patted her stomach .
“Then you should sleep now!” Lexi said, rubbing his wife’s cheek.
“Who said I didn’t sleep last night,” she protested.
“Jessica, you did sleep last night, but I know you woke up at one in the morning and didn’t sleep anymore! I know you’re looking at me asleep on the couch. Isn’t that so?” Lexi teased her with a smile cracking on his lips.
“No, you made up that story by yourself!”Jessica nodded her head.
“Just confess!” Lexi grabbed the book that was in Jessica’s hand.
“No I didn’t!”Jessica blushed. She believed that last night Lexi only pretended to be asleep because hhe knew what she was doing last night.
Lexi did not answer. He looked at Jessica deeply. Began to feel something blooming in his heart. Maybe he’s in love with Jessica. It was true what Arsene said, he did not skimp anymore, because in fact, now he began to like and love the girl. With honesty and attitude as it was, Jessica was able to make him return to believe in dropping his heart on a woman.
“Don’t look at me like that,” Jessica said still blushing.
Lexi did not blink and began to read a storybook to her wife.
Jessica yawned not because the voice or the content of the story that Lexi read was boring. However, it because the drug she had just taken.
Like a lullaby, Lexi’s voice was able to put Jessica to sleep. Then Lexi closed the book he had just read. After that he went back to look after Jessica who was asleep.
Lexi’s phone rang, there was a phone call from Kania, a cousin and wife of his secretary.
“Hello,” Lexi said as she walked away. He chose to stand near the glass so as not to disturb Jessica who was fast asleep.
“Can we meet? I have something to ask you!” Kania asked.
“Let’s just say right now, I’m busy and can’t meet just anyone!” Lexi said strictly, he’s not ready to meet Kania, avoiding a meeting with his cousin who would definitely blame him because he had been pretending to lie to Jessica.
“No, we have to meet!” she insisted.
“I said I can’t!” Lexi rejected. “Tell Arsene said it! I will work tomorrow!”
“Well tomorrow I’ll see you at office,” she just ended the phone call.

In the afternoon, doctor Edo entered Jessica’s treatment room to check the condition of his patient.
“How is Jessica?” Lexi asked as he approached the white-robed man.
“The patient’s condition has well good, the results of X-rays and CT scans are also good, no serious injuries. Only the stitches on the back have not dried up,” the doctor replied, looking at the patient’s health record.
“So can Jessica come home today?”ask Lexi again. Three days and three nights in the hospital was uncomfortable. If today Jessica’s condition has good she would immediately take her home and tell Dr. Sham to take care of her.
“Sure,” the doctor replied.
“Okay, thank you!”
“You’re welcome!” The white-robed man came out of Jessica’s treatment room.
Lexi turned around, looking at Jessica who was breathing a sigh of relief, they was glad that Jessica to be allowed home.
“We’re going home, Jess! How’s your back, how’s the stitches?” Lexi needed to know how Jessica felt. She didn’t want to be in pain when she got home. My mother would be furious. Until just this second, Mrs. Anna ignored him because she saw Jessica was injured.
“It’s okay, as long as I don’t sleep on my back, everything is safe!”Jessica said.
“Let’s go home today!”
Jessica nodded her head.
Thirty minutes later, after Arsene finished administering Jessica’s treatment. He approached Lexi and Jessica, all three walking towards the hospital parking area.
Lexi protectively guarded Jessica, always carrying even the fingers of her wife’s hand in her hand.
Arsene sat behind the wheel, while Lexi and Jessica were in the back seat.
“Sir, we’re leaving now, please buckle up!” Arsene said.
Lexi fastened the seat belt for the wife slowly then for himself. “Leave now,” he said. He was occasionally looking at Arsene hoping that the man did not say much and did not intend to reveal his pretending to Jessica until any time.
The car started moving away from the hospital parking area. Arsene drove his car at medium speed. “Sir, I have something to say!” Arsene started the conversation.
“What’s the matter, if we discuss work issues in the office!” Before seeing Jessica heal, his guilt would not diminish. He just wanted to focus on Jessica. There was no need to discuss work issues when you were not in the office, during working hours.
“It’s not about work, it’s about the Kim Foundation and Kim Cooperation who suddenly want to see you in person, and they are willing to give in for the city park construction project! Even before I contacted them personally! Isn’t that so strange?” At first glance he saw the reflection of the boss’s face in the rearview mirror. According to him, this was not a matter of work, there must be something important why the owner of a large company at the Asian level wanted to meet the heir of Ricardo Group personally.
Lexi licked her lips. This is exactly what Arsene said is very strange! “Maybe they’ll work together?” Lexi asked. It was like an impossible thing because two years ago, Kim Coorporatian and Kim Foundation clearly rejected the offer to cooperate.
“No sir, they just want to see you in person!” he answered obviously.
“Didn’t they say their purpose?” Lexi looked at Jessica, who had her ears set on hearing the conversation between himself and Arsene.
“No, they’re just urging that you schedule a meeting immediately! Are you ready to meet them?”
“Sure, I want to meet them, I wonder what their purpose is to meet me!” The old man who owns Kim Corporation and Kim Foundation couldn’t change his mind and wanted to cooperate.
“Well, I’ll schedule a meeting with them next week!”Arsene said. “Miss you all right?” He asked, watching Jessica, who had been silent for a while.
“He, I’m fine, Secretary Arsene.”
The main gate of the Ricardo family residence opened, the car went inside and stops in the parking area. “Don’t go home yet! Let’s talk for a minute!” Lexi worried about Arsene’s threat yesterday.
“Yes Sir!”
Lexi got out of the car, then held Jessica in her arms, brought her into the house. Arsene watched from a distance. He could feel there was a change in Lexi like his boss was really in love with Jessica.
Less than fifteen minutes. Lexi went out onto the porch, finding Arsene still waiting for her.
“It’s about Jessica!” Lexi started the conversation.
“Yes sir, what’s wrong with her?”
“Please don’t say anything with Kania, just calm down about our conversation yesterday!” Lexi said.
“No, Sir! I didn’t say anything!”
“You are right! I’m starting to fall for Jessica! From this moment on I will try to make her happy and make her comfortable when she is near me,” he said. Lexi admitted his feelings.
Arsene smiled silently. It’s also funny to see Lexi who has been so strongly rejecting and denying his feelings. Now he admited it. “Really? This is not a fake? You’re not lying to me, Are you?” Arsene asked.
“No, I’m honest!”
“You are wrong, Sir!”he exclaimed, shaking his head with a smile.
“What’s wrong?”
“Tell everything to miss Jessica not me!”
Arsene smiled again.
“Ah, yes you are right!”
“Yes Sir! Is that all? I’m leaving now!”
“Yes!” Lexi nodded her head! Then, he went into the house. He wanted to go see Jessica.
