Capítulo 13: Thief
The car traveled at a low speed because of the bad weather in the hilly area. Abel and Alex were expected to arrive in the city at night. Abel, who left his laptop at the office, made him have to return to the office again, even though she had a bad feeling because she asked his boss to take him.
"A laptop with documents for Dubai?" asked Alex in his cold voice.
Abel nodded and bit his lip because she was afraid that the laptop was lost or someone might even steal important files because almost all important company documents were on Abel's laptop.
Alex tried to calm Abel with his words and jokes that he made that made Abel laugh until she forgot that the one beside him was his boss, a laugh that Alex had never heard before.
"Can I put some music on?" Abel asked, his eyes sparkling, combined with the dim street lights, making the car atmosphere even more romantic.
Taylor Swift's song, August, was already airing into their ears, without realizing that Alex was also singing a little music, making Abel smile because she felt that song was his choice known to Alex.
"Are you a Taylor Swift lover too?"
"Yes. I liked Taylor Swift since high school because the songs and lyrics can sometimes express my heart, "said Alex enthusiastically.
Abel laughed at Alex's words; their conversation continued, and they felt an increasingly intimate atmosphere in the middle of the cold city of Bandung. They glanced at each other, joking and talking about their respective lives.
There is one exciting thing when Alex talks about his mother; the expression on his face immediately changes as if there is an unforgivable disappointment.
"My mother, I have a not very good relationship with her. Maybe for some people getting rich is a goal, and I always think happiness continues to flow, but not for me, "said Alex, full of emotions.
"Hmmm,"
"Now that I'm out of the office, I already consider you as my friend for now. So, if you please, if you want to ask, I'm here as a friend, not as a boss," said Alex because he saw Abel's attitude, who wanted to ask more questions but refused to do so.
"May I know what's wrong with your mother?"
"There was a peak in the incident that made my relationship with my mother even more distant. When my father died a few years later, almost half of the assets were sold for personal use and what was even more annoying was that my mother remarried to a younger man," Alex said in a sad voice.
Abel could feel Alex's voice shaking as if he was holding back anger and sadness; Alex's lips formed a straight line full of hatred towards his mother. Abel can conclude that since high school, Alex's life has been complicated with his family, and he makes Abel ask himself.
"Is this what makes Alex offend me?"

Mercedes Benz 200 was parked right in front of the lobby of the PT Chevron Khan company; after greeting all the security guards who stood guard in front of Alex, Abel rushed to his room on the 20th floor.
"You're here; I'll just take my laptop," Abel said when he saw Alex following him from behind.
Alex did not answer Abel's words; he continued walking towards the VVIP elevator he usually uses and then grabbed Abel's hand to walk quickly because he remembered it was late at night.
The dark atmosphere on each floor made Abel's hairs stand on end; a sinister atmosphere seemed to surround them. Unknowingly, Abel pressed his body against the man beside him, feeling comfortable when their skin touched.
The sound of the elevator clinking already sounded, indicating they had arrived at the 20th floor; Abel immediately took out his cell phone and turned on the flashlight as a source of lighting from the darkness.
"Are you sure you left the laptop in the room?" Alex whispered.
"Yes, sir," Abel answered slowly.
Two pairs of feet stepped sneakily as if they were about to jump on something; when they arrived at the front door of Abel's room, he immediately opened the lock code. When he succeeded and turned on the lamp, it was seen on the laptop work table, which was still in the same position, but a slight curiosity made Abel and Alex roll their eyes.
"What happened in this room?" Alex's voice rose when he saw several open drawers in Abel's room.
Abel was confused because when he left his room, it wasn't like this; she remembered very well that she had neatly cleaned his desk.
Alex stepped into his room, and sure enough…..
"WHAT? What happened to this room?" Alex rolled his eyes when he saw that his room was full of papers and his computer was on.
Abel immediately looked for the phone number of the security guard who was on duty that night, but when the phone rang...…..
Alex and Abel looked together towards the outside of the room. That is usually used for meetings; they both stared when they heard the sound of a chair falling like someone beside the two of them.
Alex walked to check the commotion in the meeting room quickly, his strong hands were already clenched into fists, ready to stab whoever was there, but his steps were stopped because Abel pulled to prevent him from leaving.
"Sir, I don't think we should be too hasty to look there. We'll observe from the inside to see if there are movements from outside the room," whispered Abel, right in Alex's right ear.
Abel gave instructions to his boss for the first time because she didn't want anything wrong to happen to them.
When the tension was going on, Abel's and Alex's hands suddenly intertwined as if strengthening each other while continuing to stare outside.
Not long after, a man with a mask and clothes that were not very clear due to poor lighting was seen; a tall man with a sturdy body was looking to the right and left to make sure no one saw him.
"What should we do now?" Alex asked Abel.
The ringing of security guard's phone that was still ringing, soon got an answer, the voice of the cellphone that Abel turned down so as not to be caught and asked for immediate help.
"What the fuck are you doing right now?!" annoyed Alex.
