Chapter 26: Dance Recital
What is happening? She just decided to end this now. Go home and continue her dull provincial life. But she can't get herself to leave this man. This man who cares for her more than she cares for herself. This man who makes her happy by just being there. This man who will make her life complicated but still she finds courage as long as she can see this man everyday. This is crazy.
Alexander is waiting for her answer.
"I don't like your lifestyle. I can't even force myself to use your money because I see how hard you work for it. I don't like attention. I don't like special treatment. I don't like all of them." Alexanders hopeful eyes is slowly changing into sa sorrowful one.
"I don't like all of them except from you. You make me feel happy and important. You take care of me. You are important to me. I..." Lexi stops when Alexanders hugs her. "That is enough for me. I can leave with that. I will not force you to love me. I will settle for "like" right now. I..." Alexander is interuppted when Lexi pushes him. "Can you let me finish first!?"
He shuts up and looks at her. She straighten up. "I love you too."
Alexander doesn't understand it first. She loves him? She really does? She will stay? She loves him! She will stay! He scoops her face and kisses her hard. All the relief and worries enveloped in that kiss.
They spent the night gloriously into the arms of each other.
Everyone is puzzled and Kay receives a lot of messages asking what happened. Alexander is greeting everyone good morning and even used the employees' elevator. Meeting went smoothly and all throughout the meeting, President was smiling like a madman. They are more scared than usual. What if something will go wrong that thing or person? It will be double hell for them.
Then they saw the reason. As bright as her baby pink dress and open toes sandals, Lexi is as gorgeous as
an actress and her physique is as perfect as a model. She happily ask the receptionist for Mario and was ushered to the President's elevator again. Kay is behind her holding a red paper bag with lunch that Lexi prepared.
People are extra nice and polite to Lexi. They know that they have to since she is the reason their lives are a little bit easier now.
They are now on their third week together and Lexi is enjoying her life with Alexander. She is finally experiencing being taken cared of. She is planning how to tell her family of her engagement. It will be a huge news in their province since she will marry a well off man. It will not be a big deal for her future husband since she knows he has enough, but still she knows that the "help" will not stop in just one giving.
She just needs to continue to work to make sure that she can still financially sustain her family.
Just like other days, her husband to be is still busy. She doesn't want to bother and know the nature of his work because she is sure as hell, she will not understand. She just wonders why a secretary will hold a board meeting. Doesn't make sense but just like Lawrence Fend said, they really trust him to run the business. Anyway, she enjoys bringing lunch and even does an extra mile of packing lunch for the receptionist and secretaries. Before she and Kay goes home, she makes sure that she sits down and have some chat with them.
The final dance off will be tomorrow and she is practicing at home. Kay is always her big fan and often times tells her how good of a dancer she is.
The next morning, as usual Alexander left early and she is sure that he will be busy the whole day. Their dance recital will be held in a theater near the gym. She is excited. As she looks at the audience, fathers, mothers, husbands, wives and children are there to support their love ones. Oh well...She has Kay. She waves at Kay. She is grateful that she is always there for her.
They will recreate the BlackPink's two songs and routine. They are four on stage so you can really see Lexi since she is in the middle. As she dances, she can hear cheering specially from a voice that is way too familiar for her. "I love you Lexi!"
She saw Alexander jumping up and down beside Kay who is standing at the side. Kay is trying to hide her face due to embarassment.
