โI ... unnecessary taste, Uncle. Besides, I already have a job and I like it,โ Alina said.
Alina finally refused an offer from Darius. He doesn't want to get close to Logan, who he knows is the CEO of Ruiz Company. It would be better if he kept his distance, so he didn't have to interact at all.
Alina currently works for a publishing company. He is in the advertising division, which has the task to find sponsors or parties who want to advertise.
"Thank you, sir," Alina said as she got off an online taxi that took her to the office.
In the past, he lived not far from the office, so he only needed to walk. But because of following Mom Flo, Alina had to spend more money to get to the office. For Alina, it was okay, because Mom Flo's happiness was the main thing for her. Since childhood, he only had Mom Flo and he knew how Mom Flo struggled raising him.
At first, Mr. Darius offered a driver to pick Alina up, but she gently refused. He didn't want to trouble anyone, let alone Lord Darius getting married to Mom Flo. He does not want to be considered to take the opportunity or take advantage of the situation.
"Good morning!" alina's greeting to her co-workers.
"Again, Al! You're a little late than usual today" said Violet, one of Alina's co-workers.
"I live a little far away now," Alina replied without wanting to explain further. He sat down at his desk and turned on his computer.
That day, Alina was so focused on working and not thinking about anything else, that she did not realize that the day had begun to turn night and her co-workers had gone home.
Alina stretched her hands together to relax her body. He picked up his bag and cleaned up some of his belongings. Alina is always neat, she doesn't let the stuff on her desk splatter.
"I'm going home now. The journey will be a little far, of course it will be longer to get home," muttered Alina who realized that she now lives in the Ruiz Family Mansion.
Previously, Alina had asked Mom Flo if she wanted to stay in their old house. However, Mom Flo firmly refused and forbade him on the grounds that the house was willing to sell.
After tidying things up, Alina also said goodbye to a coworker who was still overtime because there was material that would be discussed tomorrow. Arriving at the lobby, Alina also said goodbye to building security.
By using an online taxi again, he returned to the Ruiz Family Residence. Mom Flo and Mr. Darius are getting married in about two months. To Alina's surprise, Mom Flo decides to move to the Ruiz Family Mansion even though her status has not changed.
**
It has been almost a month Logan saw the whereabouts of the woman named Flo, who will be his father's second wife, in the Ruiz Family Mansion. More and more days, Logan is getting annoyed just to see it because Flo seems to arrange a waitress in the House of Ruiz and act like a House Mistress. It was also what made Logan spend more time in the Company, even he often stayed there because he was lazy to go home.
But today, he wants to return to the House of Ruiz. he needs to talk about the company's problems with Dad Darius, let alone this related to his Father's friends who are also shareholders in the Ruiz Company. In addition, Logan has also held evidence of the involvement of Dad's younger brother Darius with embezzlement of funds in the Ruiz Company.
Logan stepped foot into the Ruiz House. Again he found the house looking quiet, making him sigh. A waiter approached him and gave Logan a glass of water, which he drank straight to the toilet.
"Where's Daddy?" ask Logan.
"alone?"
"No, Mister. Mr. Darius went along with Mrs Flo."
Logan again sighed and clenched his hands tightly. The waiter who was carrying the tray immediately turned his body back because he did not want the glass that Logan had placed on the tray, taken and thrown again. The waiter still remembered the events of that time.
Without saying much, Logan climbed straight to the top where his bedroom was. Just as she was about to enter, the door next to her bedroom seemed open and revealed the figure of Alina in her sleeping pajamas.
Logan directly pulled Alina's wrist violently and threw her against the wall just like that.
"Are you two shameless?!" ask Logan with a face filled with anger.
"Sir ..."
"I told you I'm not your sister! don't ever call me brother of your disgusting lips. I will never be your family!" rant Logan roughly.
Alina directly lowered her head, not wanting to look towards Logan whom Alina was sure was still staring intently at her.
"I reiterate to you, no woman can replace my Mommy. You better talk to your Mommy so that she immediately cancels her wedding, or I'll make her really suffer" said Logan, โand so did you. Remember that! Don't mess with me.โ
Alina was still silent as she lowered her head, so Logan grabbed Alina's chin and gripped her firmly. It made Alina grimace because of the pain she felt.
"Sa-sick ...," said Alina grimacing. The grip of Logan's fingers on his chin was really tight.
"Remember, talk to your Mommy right away. I will not hesitate to be rude if you continue to be here and hope to be part of the Ruiz Family. It's not just a threat because I've never messed around" Logan said with a lot of emphasis on each of his words.
Brakk!!
Logan passed by from there and went into his bedroom. He slammed the door tightly, causing Alina to flinch in shock and hold onto her chest. His heart was beating fast and a feeling of uneasiness instantly ambushed in his body.
"I had to talk to Mommy and ask her to rethink this marriage. I don't want Mommy to suffer and be hurt" Alina murmured.
Alina is afraid that Logan will actually hurt Mom Flo, someone whom Alina loves very much. Mom Flo is all she has right now.
