Dangerous Billionaire

A Trick

Arsene arrived at the airport.

He and Ronald and his other colleague searched for Jessica in all places and spaces at the airport. However, the wife of his boss was not found.

From the CCTV footage, Jessica was seen leaving the airport with two other people , one female and one male.

“We have to split up! I’ll call the taxi company and you go where Jessica’s likely to go!” Arsene said. Ronald, always the most competent co-worker by far, knew what to do.

“I’m going to the orphanage and will check on her two friends’ houses!” Ronald answered. He rushed towards the parking area, immediately drove his car to the orphanage first.

Waiting for information from Ronald, Arsene called the taxi company and also called Mr. Arman. Chelsea was seen on CCTV going out with Jessica.

However, until half past noon. Lexi’s plane landed. Arsene also did not get any information about Jessica’s whereabouts.

“Where is Jessica?”

Lexi asked the question when he saw Arsene, who was sitting and waiting for him in the lounge. He couldn’t wait to meet Jessica and to apologize.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Sorry sir, I lost track of her!”

“Fool.”

Arsene swallowed. On Sunday, he had to go to work by an unexpected accident, but he still received ridicule from his boss! If Lexi wasn’t his boss, Arsene would have covered his mouth with a sock.

“Bring Jessica in front of me! I don’t want you to lose her track! Be sure, do not hurt her! Just watch out if I see you hurt even the tip of her nail even once, you know the consequences” Lexi got into the car, he would also looking for Jessica.

“What information did you get?” Cassandra asked, hearing that Lexi and Jessica had returned to Jakarta in advance, she was increasingly suspicious of their real relationship.

Moreover, Cassandra found the connecting room, which connected Jessica and Lexi’s rooms.

“Not much, Miss, we only know that a few months ago Mr. Lexi had taken the girl to one of his family’s villa in Bogor! And after that, within one or two months, the woman lived in the residence of the Ricardo family,” the informant explained.

“Is that all? What about Jessica’s identity and their relationship status?!” Cassandra believed that there was something suspicious between Jessica and Lexi. The last she felt Lexi was just taking advantage of her. She hoped it was wrong.

“Jessica grew up in an orphanage, before getting to know Mr. Lexi, she worked in a cafe,” the man conveyed the information as he got it.

“Should I give her revenge?” he added.

“No, don’t do anything until I tell you to!”Cassandra replied. She ended the phone call.

Later, she called Lexi to find out where he was.

“Hello,” Lexi said. His voice was loud, not showing attention.

“Where?”

“I’m at home!” Lexi answered with a shrug.

“I’m going there now!” Cassandra proposed. She needed to be explained by Lexi’s strange attitude.

“For what? No need! I’m busy!” Lexi refused. He was not ready to meet anyone, as long as Jessica had not been found. Until now, he didn’t know the whereabouts of Jessica.

“Oh, okay” Cassandra replied disappointed. No one had ever rejected her, only Lexi.

Lexi ended the phone call, just like that. It made Cassandra even more mad, because Lexi treated her rudely.

Afternoon, in the waiting room of Soekarno Hatta Airport.

“My father has given permission to take you to Singapore,” Beryl said. He asked that his father also be willing to pay for Jessica’s college.

Silence.

College is one of Jessica’s dreams. Until now, it is still a dream that she would later achieve after completing his marriage contract with Lexi.

“You’re going to Singapore with me, right?” Beryl asked again. Jessica has always been obedient. She never said she wanted to go to Singapore.

Jessica had never said that she accepted Beryl’s offer. ‘Isn’t this a good time to run away? Maybe after today there will be no more chance for me to run away.’

“I will stay here!” Jessica held her head up and was sure of what she had just said.

“Don’t you want to come with me to Singapore?” Beryl’s expression changed to disappointment.

“I can’t, my marriage to Mr. Lexi is indeed just a contract marriage. But I owe him a lot!” Jessica answered. She was not sure why she chose to remain on Lexi’s side.

There was a pause of minutes.

“Then I wonder why you were crying, can you tell me?” Beryl deserved to know why Jessica cried this morning when she met him. “Did the man yell at you, did he scold you, or were you angry that he slept with another woman?” Beryl asked, curious about Jessica’s feelings. It was more important than their marital status.

” Emm-, ” Jessica muttered doubting herself, she didn’t know the reason why she was crying. “I do not know!” she said.

“Huh?”

“Yes I don’t know! I don’t know why I cried this morning!” At times like this, she still remembered Lexi. She was mad at him, but wanted him to apologize and explain what happened between him and Cassandra last night.

“So, Lexi is not angry with you?”

“No!”

“Lexi didn’t yell at you?”

“No!”

“So, you’re angry that the man slept with another woman?” Beryl urged.

Jessica nodded slowly.

“Well, I won’t force you to go to Singapore with me! I’ll call Lexi and ask him to come here!” Beryl tried to make Jessica comfortable. He realized that Jessica liked Lexi. He was choosing to let her go, leaving a space for Jessica to make a choice.

Beryl looked at Jessica. There was a sadness in feeling rejected, from his lover for these years. Yes, the girl chose another man who clearly took advantage of her.

Beryl took the phone in his bag. He just held off for a moment before calling Lexi.

“If you change your mind, I will always be there for you Jessica. I’ll pick you up and take you. But, if this is indeed your choice I can’t forbid you! You know, I’ll always be there for you! I’ll wait until your marriage contract with Lexi is over.” Beryl rubbed Jessica’s shoulder, then intended to call Lexi right now.

Lexi has walked back and forth hundreds of times in his room. He didn’t have breakfast, he also missed lunch.

Until this time, four o’clock in the afternoon. Jessica had not been found. Arsene and Ronald, never gave good news

from this morning until now. There was no word on Jessica’s whereabouts.

When Lexi wanted to call Arsene, his phone rang. There was a call from an unknown number.

“Hello?” Lexi said.

“Hello, is this really Lexi’s number? It’s me Beryl!” the voice on the other side.

“Where Is Jessica?” Lexi was impatient.

“Jessica was with me, she asked you to pick her up at the airport!” Beryl answered.

“I’m going to get her right now!” Lexi responded quickly. This was the news he had been waiting for, the news of Jessica’s whereabouts.

“Wait, don’t end the call! I have something to say!” Beryl interrupted.

“What?”

“I’m flying to Singapore soon, I can’t do much for Jessica. Sorry for this morning because I hit you, I just wanted to make sure you didn’t make Jessica cry! After the marriage contract between you and Jessica is completed, I will take Jessica from you,” Beryl said. He wasn’t sure, but he also couldn’t give up on his feelings for Jessica.

“Where is Jessica now?”

“Next to me!” Beryl answered.

“Come, pick me,” Jessica said.

“Jessica asked you to pick her up immediately!” Beryl told him.

“Okay,” Lexi answered before he ended the call. He was still angry and upset with Beryl. At least, the phone call from the boy managed to make him relieved, because finally he could find out where Jessica was.

After the phone call ended, Lexi walked quickly towards the garage. He took the car and immediately drove it to the airport.

In less than thirty minutes, Lexi arrived at the airport. In a day he twice checked the airport lounge in search of Jessica. But it was the same as this morning, Jessica wasn’t there either.

“Damn! How dare you trick me!” Lexi thought Beryl was lying to him. “I’ll give you a punch!”
