Capítulo 25: Forgiving (Part 1)

KNOCK KNOCK!

"Madam, it is morning, and I have prepared breakfast for you. Please open the door. You have missed dinner the previous night."

Alexa sneered when she heard Rika's monotone voice from outside her room. Her body was too weak even to grumble. At this time, her stomach even started to hurt because she had been holding back her hunger since yesterday.

Actually, Dominic has a small refrigerator in his room. However, the refrigerator's contents were only fruit, wine, and several cans of vitamin drinks that Alexa never knew Dominic enjoyed consuming. Alexa has eaten all the fruit and vitamin drinks in the refrigerator. However, she kept feeling hungry and vomited all her food since yesterday.

Inside, Alexa started to get a little scared. She was afraid that she was seriously ill, and her vomiting was not a trivial matter. No normal person feels hungry all the time and ends up vomiting all the time. Alexa clutched her stomach in worry as negative thoughts started coming to her one by one.

"Madam... I apologize for my previous behavior. I promise I won't do it again. You can even punish me if that will make you feel better. But you have to eat this time. You will fall ill if you miss this meal."

Alexa mocked sarcastically when Rika's tone started to sound pitiful out there. She was already sick even if she ate that breakfast now. Alexa is too weak to go to the bathroom again. She didn't want to throw up everything again. Now, Alexa no longer wants to eat even though her stomach has been making loud noises ever since.

"Madam... did you hear me?"

Rika's tone turned increasingly worried when Alexa didn't reply to a single word she said. The girl was just about to take the duplicate key before Alexa's hoarse voice was heard from behind the sturdy door.

"Go!"

Rika breathed a sigh of relief when she managed to make sure Alexa was still okay. Rika decided to remain silent again and begged from behind the door. She didn't want to make Alexa even angrier by entering her room without permission. Rika can only beg nicely now, as Dominic ordered her to do last night.

"Madam... It doesn't matter if you can't forgive me, or maybe Mr. Dominic too. But you have to maintain your health, and eating and drinking is the first pillar of your health."

Rika gave up when Alexa no longer responded to her words. Rika returned to put away the tray of food she brought before taking out her cell phone to dial Dominic's number.

[What is it?]

On the second ringtone, the call was picked up, and Rika was greeted by Dominic's hoarse voice, who seemed to have just woken up from sleep.

"... Boss, our Madam still doesn't want to eat until now. Since yesterday, she has refused to leave the room, while we also have to check on her health, which got worse yesterday. She didn't even allow the doctor to come in when I invited her to come to the house. I'm afraid... her body won't be able to last long with her current stubbornness, Boss," Rika explained.

[I'll be there soon,] Dominic replied briefly before the call was disconnected unilaterally. Rika took a deep breath. It's like they're back to square one if this is how it happens.

Rika regretted being so panicked yesterday that she forgot the code of ethics for her duties. It's unusual for her to make such a serious mistake. No wonder Dominic was really angry with her yesterday.

However, Rika never thought that Alexa could be that clever at hiding things. This was the first case someone could trick her this badly. Rika knows that Alexa has always been smart and careful. However, she never expected that this ability would remain impressive even if Alexa had lost all her memories.

Rika seems to have to be more careful with Alexa this time. Rika even suspected that Alexa had started to slowly recover her memory.

Rika took a deep breath. She hopes that this problem can be resolved quickly or everything will change for the worse.

"Is she still there?"

Rika nodded as she swiftly helped Dominic to take off his outer coat. Dominic was still wearing the same clothes he wore yesterday, with a crumpled face as he had just failed to have a sleep. Rika guessed that her boss must be sleeping in his office again after trying to do whatever he could without showering or changing clothes, considering that it was impossible for someone as detailed as Dominic to want to wear the same clothes for two days in a row.

"Madam won't open the door for anyone until now. I made sure she was still conscious earlier, even though her voice sounded quite weak. I'm afraid if I let her, then the-"

"I know. I've calculated it, Rika," Dominic interrupted briefly. Rika stared at Dominic's face for a long time before realizing that her boss was a little different from the person who just lost control yesterday.

This time, Dominic looked much calmer than before. His eyes returned to the sharpness that Dominic usually had. Dominic seemed ready to face Alexa and ready to correct the mistake that occurred yesterday because of Rika's actions.

"Have you cleaned everything up?" Dominic asked when Rika was lost in her thoughts. Rika, who quickly regained consciousness, immediately nodded. "I've searched all sides of Boss's room. There's nothing left. Madam only has that paper as the only clue to her past," reported Rika. Dominic nodded once again before turning to Rika.

"Let me take care of it myself this time. You can prepare nutritious porridge for her. Not eating anything all day will cause stomach problems for her," ordered Dominic.

"Yes, Boss," Rika replied obediently before going towards the kitchen. Dominic took a deep breath. He only stepped towards the room after he had steadied his heart.

"Alexa... It's me, Dominic," he said for starter.
