Moving silently

The atmosphere in the office looked busy even though a lot of work had been done. It was very busy for the three people who were there.

There were Lexi, Arsene, and Ronald who were each still busy with their devices, looking for sources of information about what really happened twelve years ago.

Everyone did their job, as directed by Lexi. They would not be reckless and would always be careful. No matter how little information. That would be very useful and a clue as to what was really going on.

“Mr. Lexi, I don’t know if this is important or not! But few news portals discuss the case. There is a tabloid Jakarta Kabar, which has contained more news than other news portals that discussed it briefly. It seems that this afternoon I will find out about Jakarta news that is now no longer operating,” Arsene told. Something if investigated from the bottom would find a way that would be a red thread in this part.

“Good, start there, Arsene. You can get out now, I believe you can get a clue from there! Don’t forget if there is a problem you can contact me at any time,” Lexi said, his eyes were fiery. Not that his parents were involved in the accident. In his heart, he still believed that his parents were innocent.

“Good Sir!” Ronald said, grabbing the car keys, then immediately rushed from his office space.

“Hey,” Lexi called. It’s the same with Arsene he was waiting for orders from his boss.

“Yes Sir.” The man who had been sitting on the single sofa approached the boss.

“You, I think you need to see the police who first told you about the BMW. Well Ronald that is where are you going to start, right?” Lexi asked.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“Yes, sir, I understand. Do I need to hide my identity?” Ronald asked.

“Emm -, yes the fewer who know our movements the better!” Lexi said.

“Well, I’ll start the investigation from there Sir!” Ronald said before exiting his boss’s office.

In a room that bears silent witness to all the decisions Lexi made. The man sat pensive himself. Twelve years ago, that meant he was studying in London. Lexi did not know what happened at Ricardo Group because at that time everything was fully handled by his father.

Lexi tried to remember his memory twelve years ago. Then, he remembered, twelve years ago it meant uncle Sandy Ricardo, still a part of Ricardo Group. Should he ask Uncle Sandy?

For about a minute Lexi thought, his hand moved to take his phone to call his uncle’s number.

Not long after, the call went through. He heard his uncle said hello from across the phone. “Hello?”

“Hello,” Lexi said.

“I’m sorry, who is this?” the voice on the other side ask, a voice that Lexi knew very well.

“I’m Lexi,” he replied .

“You naughty boy! You never called me before. You’ve impregnated your wife but haven’t introduced her to me yet!” uncle Sandy’s voice sounded more like a scream.

“I’m sorry, but I’m going to have to go back there,” Lexi said.

“So when do you want to come here? Bring on the women you’ve been keeping a secret from!” his uncle said, not to lower his voice at all.

“Maybe soon, but I can’t go there in the near future, after all, uncle will come here on Saturday at my wife’s pregnancy announcement, right?” Lexi really wanted the Ricardo family elder to come and they could meet.

“I’m sorry I couldn’t come, you know! Now your uncle is very old. Let Arvel come over there!” he said. The middle-aged man was already often ill and it was impossible to come to Lexi’s house which is far from his house. Every day he spent at home with the plants he loves.

“But Uncle, there is something I want to ask you!” Lexi said, he believed more or less uncle Sandy knew about the accident.

“What do you want to ask?” The voice on the other side stammered. “Wait, you have to come here then I will answer it! In your whole life you will never come here, Lexi!” the uncle, who wanted to see the appearance of his nephew after a dozen years of not seeing him, said.

“Should I really go there Uncle?”

Then there was no response from the man on the other side of the phone.

“Hello.”

“Hello.”

Lexi screamed, still no response.

The phone call just went off.

(sounds of the door opened)

The door opened, his dad stood on the door with a questioning look that looked at Lexi.

“Who made you scream like that Lexi?” Mr. Samuel who suddenly came to the office directly to his son’s workspace.

“No,” Lexi answered, putting his phone in his pants.

“I saw Arsene and Ronald take turns leaving your room, is there an urgent job?” his dad looked at him. As a company leader, he could read a person’s facial expressions. Especially the serious look because he got an unusual order from his boss.

“No dad, I just ask that they go to the construction of the city park. I know this project means a lot to me.”

“Well, I understood. Good thing, you seem to be working well and are more excited because you will soon have a child!” Mr Samuel said. The corners of his lips widened to form a smile.

“Thank you, dad!”

“I am gonna go home now. I want to help your mom prepare the Thanksgiving party!” Mr. Samuel was not even sitting in his son’s office. He had already said goodbye because he did not want to interrupt his son’s work time so that he could come home on time.

“Dad, be careful! Tell Jessica I’ll be home soon!”

“Okay!”

Lexi took a deep breath. Hiding something from his father did not mean doing evil or lying to him. But Lexi was scared. Because he did not usually cover something from his parents.

Sunny day, it made Cassandra spend her time at the spa. There were several Hollywood employment contracts. However, the girl did not intend to continue her career there. Not without reason, now she was more interested in her new desires. ‘Have Lexi and be part of Ricardo’s family.’

She got out of the car, went into the house. She would see some new products from her make-up company.

The launch of a new product was something he was waiting for. In addition, make-up products from the company have got a name. It was also the first time she met Lexi. It was unlikely that the guy would be absent at such an important event.

Then, she stepped into a room on the second floor. She focused on her new makeup products.

She was excited, she sat down at the chair and was about to try that. she was not finished yet tried one of her latest lipstick colors.

Suddenly the door opened. Her mother came in with an angry face.

“What are you doing Cassandra? Look!” Mrs. Helen threw a pink invitation card right in her daughter’s face.

“What Is This, Mom? Why are you so rude?” Cassandra said, taking the invitation paper that fell to the floor.

“You can read it by yourself! You must read it!” Mrs. Helen looked very angry at the information she had just read.

Cassandra read what was written on the paper. An invitation to attend a thanksgiving event for the pregnancy of Ricardo’s daughter-in-law.

“You said Lexi wants a divorce, look at his wife, now she is pregnant, and I am sure that there will be no divorce between them. You’ll never get the chance to be Ricardo’s son-in-law.”

“Ohh, when will it be held?” Cassandra clenched her lips. She felt betrayed by Mrs. Anna.

“Two days again! It seems that I am stupid for trusting you so much that she can’t do anything about it. My whole life has been ruined!” Mrs. Helen was furious.

“Calm down Mom, I’ll do something!” Cassandra threw her gaze in the other direction. A plan was drawn up in her head.
