Chapter 37

So, despite her earlier anxiety, Alondra chose to cook for Leandre to make him feel better. Even though she was exhausted, she continued to cook in the hopes that Leandre's rage would fade. Even though he had been terrified before, he was now filled with joy. She suspects Leandre is jealous because this man mentioned that she has no idea who he is. But then she recalls Garret, whom she and Daisy had dinner with. Is that the man Leandre is referring to, but why does he know? Is he staring at them for a long time without realizing it? Previously, he appeared to be a husband betrayed by his wife.

So, after placing it on the table, she removed her apron and entered the room. She pushed the door because it wasn't locked, but when she saw him sleeping soundly, she let it go. It would have been nice if the two of them had a relationship and met and got to know each other nicely, but all of this would have ended without love. Many wealthy women will go to great lengths to obtain this man.

So she must avoid becoming overly attached to this man so that when the time comes for them to part ways, it will not be too painful. Nobody will be left to suffer and hope. The only thing she can think about is that she is here now to pay the money she stole from him and that she will stay until she has paid completely, after which they will part ways. Leandre moved, and Alondra appeared in front of him. She then went outside to rest on the couch. She was just lying on the couch thinking about something for a few minutes. She thinks a lot and can't believe her life has been turned upside down.
Until she didn't realize she had dozed off. When Leandre awoke, he jumped to his feet because he didn't see Alondra next to him.





So he hurried down the stairs to look for her and found her lying on the couch and sleeping. He felt sorry for her, maybe she was afraid of him because of his sudden outburst. He was just jealous and he couldn't think straight so he realized one thing they didn't have a relationship if she didn't owe him he wouldn't stay by her side. If everything goes well, he will court her and the two of them will be formally in a relationship. So he touched her face. And he saw her slowly get up when she felt someone holding her face.
"Are you okay?" Alondra asked.
Leandre was smiling even though he was the wrong one, she still asked him if he was okay. Leandre knew that she was not okay, he was extremely jealous and afraid that when the day comes she will leave him and find another man.
"Yes. I'm fine." Leandre answered and hugged Alondra tightly.
"Great. It took you a while to wake up. The food I cooked is getting cold." Alondra said, leading her to the kitchen.
"You prepared it just right because I was hungry a while ago," answered Leandre. And she took a plate.
"Just gave me the plate. Because I will get the food for you." Alondra said and took the plate from him.
"Thank you."
Leandre smiled upon seeing Alondra taking good care of him. Jade didn't like her. When they were first married, he could feel that she loved him but he never once cared for her when it came to food, even cooking, she knew nothing because they used to have a cook. It's wrong to compare the two people but the way he sees Alondra taking care of him now is something he won't experience with Jade.
"That. Eat well. Are you coming to your office tomorrow?" Alondra asked as she accepted the plate with only food.
"Yes. What do you want to do? Will you come with me to the office? Because if you stay here, you'll probably be bored because you'll be alone." answered Leandre.
"You can too. But what am I going to do in your office?" Alondra asked and started eating again.
"You can do a lot there. Be my secretary. Make coffee or you can enroll in an online class. There are spare computers there that can be used in my office." answered Leandre.
"Okay. I prefer to do what you say and what I don't want is to study online. What do I know about that? As far as I know, they will ask for a like identification card and other documents." Alondra said with a frown.
Leandre laughed.
Everything works out.
"Don't you want to study?" he asked.
"Of course. I would."
"Good. What course do you want to take?"
"I want to be a nurse," answered Alondra.
"Great. Just register online first," said Leandre and he started eating.
A few minutes later they finished eating and they were in the living room They are sitting side by side on the couch. Leandre never felt alone because he knew he was with someone.
"How do you feel? Are you okay staying here so far? The house is big and it's just the two of us." said Leandre.
"Not really. I have peace of mind. Unlike at the club. I'm too stressed." answered Alondra.
"Why did you go there? Mind me asking."
"I was fired from my previous job at the coffee shop then there's one person who helped me, I thought he was genuine in helping me, but he send me to the club to work," answered Alondra.
That made Leandre angry. Why are there people like that? Do the wrong thing instead of helping someone who is in need but pushed to evil.
"Who? I can put him in jail."
"I don't know the name. But he's gay."
"Okay. If you see him again and your paths cross, you can do what I say and call me right. We'll teach that person a lesson."
Alondra nodded. And suddenly the surroundings became quiet.
"Alondra?"
"Why?"
"I have a question," answered Leandre.
"What is your question?"
"There's some incident where I was at the bar and someone's hand suddenly grabbed mime because of the number of customers coming in and the second I was outside the club and inside my car, someone grabbed my hand again and it was the same feeling. . And in a coffee shop again someone held me again and the same hold as before and your hold is the same," answered Leandre.
And suddenly Alondra burst out laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"
"You were the one whom I hold during those times. I was going to fall so I held and the embarrassing thing is that when in the coffee shop, Emerald saw how I touched you. If you hadn't told me, I didn't remember that we met Emerald and I used to." answered Alondra.
"Our world is small," said Leandre.
"Yes. I thought that there were reasons why I went to the club and worked there, so we met and you save my father's life because I steal your money." Alondra answered laughing.
Leandre just shook his head.
"I forgot to buy dessert earlier in the city. Maybe you want something to eat while we hang out in the living room?"
"Nothing. I don't like to eat. My stomach gets used to eating only a little before." answered Alondra.
"Are you sure? Maybe you want to unwind now? We can go to the city." said Leandre.
"It's getting late, Leandre. We can't travel anymore and the weather is bad now and it might rain and we're still on our way. Maybe tomorrow." answered Alondra.

It was a bad move when he said he would take her to the office because they accused Alondra of being the other woman to a married man but separated, but that didn't change the fact that even Jade and he are already separated as long as in papers they are still married. As a result, he does not want this to happen. So he'll find a way to avoid being with her tomorrow. They decided to sleep in their room upstairs. They both went inside at the same time. Leandre took his credit card from his wallet and handed it to Alondra, who was exchanging pillows and bedding.


"What is this?"
"Credit card. Maybe you can buy something for yourself," answered Leandre.
"I can't accept it," Alondra said and handed it back to him but he didn't accept it.
"Take it first."
"Okay, thanks."
"Aren't you going to shower?" asked Leandre because he saw that he was lying on the bed.
"Not anymore. I don't like taking a bath at night. You know my body isn't used to the cold."
"Okay."

Then Leandre went into the restroom. He came out a few minutes later and went straight to his closet to find something to wear. When he noticed Alondra was wrapped in a blanket, he took it and checked to see if she had finished dressing in new clothes. Perhaps she'll just go to bed without getting dressed. So, after getting dressed, he lay down next to her, only to be startled by the boy's pain. He was unable to move his back.


"Alondra?" he said in a low voice.
"Is there a problem?" she answered and suddenly got up.
"I need a massage because my whole body suddenly hurts," answered Leandre.
"Sure."
So Alondra approached him and started massaging his back.
"You really shouldn't take a bath at night. Because all the air will go to your body." Alondra said to him.

"All right, next time. Not really."

"Perhaps you're worried that I won't sleep next to you if you haven't showered? I won't mind what you smell like as long as nobody gets sick. As poor as we are, we're not like that sometimes we sleep with dirt on our feet because our food is poor due to money, so the air can easily enter our body," Alondra continued massaging her body.


Because this woman knew so much, Leandre just shook his head. He hadn't been bored since she entered his life. Until Leandre didn't notice he'd fallen asleep. When Leandre awoke the next day, the sun had risen and his office clothes had been ironed. So he went to the bathroom and took a shower. He returned half an hour later and went straight to the kitchen. He noticed that the food was ready and that Alondra was waiting for him. And it's also finished showering and getting ready for their departure later.


"Sit down. So you can eat. All I thought were you not coming to the office today?"


"I have to go in as well because my employees might go on strike and I'll be fired from my own company," Leandre replied with a smile, accepting Alondra's plate of food.
"Perhaps I won't come with you later to your company, Leandre. I'll just go to the city and buy some to use in the online class. I'll buy some notebooks. And while I was cleaning earlier, I accidentally entered the library room and saw you have new computers. Can I use them? Just teach me how to operate if you have free time." Alondra said.



"Sure," answered Leandre with a sigh of relief.
"Can I have Emmie's phone number? I'll call her and I'll go with her to the mall later."
"Sure. And please put your number on my phone."
"Okay."

They both ate quietly after asking for a phone number. They were finished eating in half an hour. They were already outside the gate and on their way to the car. The sky is clear, and it's lovely to gaze at the setting sun. Just as Leandre's life had been resurrected and made happy again. The car was already moving down the road, and he noticed Alondra smiling as they passed the trees.


Leandre wasn't sure why Alondra's red lips seemed to tempt him to kiss her, so he pulled over to the side of the road and suddenly kissed her torridly, and Leandre was happy because she was responding, and they ended up making love inside by car early in the morning after an hour. It's a good thing his car was tinted because they couldn't be seen inside, both naked. He noticed Alondra sweating with her eyes closed. As a result, he wiped it.

"I'm sorry; I just wanted to kiss you but didn't think you'd respond, so I couldn't," Leandre explained.

"It's fine, but it's embarrassing to be here in the car early in the morning doing some nasty things," Alondra grumbled.

While dressing Alondra, Leandre shook his head. They arrived in the city half an hour later.
