Chapter 4 Carrying Out Tasks

Alexa really had to think hard, about how she could carry out the task from Ef.

"How is this? That young CEO, rarely comes out of his room. Even lunch is in his room." Alexa seemed to be thinking in her room.

"What exactly is the problem with Mr. Ef and Mr. Arley? It seems very serious, and what does Mr. Ef want that he asked me to copy the files on Mr. Arley's laptop?"

Alexa landed her butt on the bed and laid down on it. Her eyes began to close.

"Why do I have to be in between those two Om's?" grumbled Alexa.

Slowly Alexa began to relax her body and mind. It didn't take long before she fell asleep.

Since Alexa started working, Steve and Daisy have never had breakfast together with their daughter. Alexa always brings her lunch and eats it in the car.

"Where does she work?" Steve asked his wife.

"She said she works for a big interior design company," Daisy replied.

Steve couldn't believe what he had just heard from his wife.

"Lexa! Sit here," Steve pleaded when he saw his daughter there.

"Sorry Dad, I can't have breakfast together. I had breakfast in the car as usual," Alexa replied, then put the bread with chocolate jam in the container.

"You know how to work, you should have gotten up earlier, Lexa. So we can still have breakfast together at home!" Daisy said half annoyed.

Meanwhile, Alexa. She was just scratching her head, which wasn't that itchy. Honestly, she couldn't get up early on her own. Even though she had set an alarm with a 5-minute time lag and kept repeating it, she would still wake up at the same time when it was light.

"I'll try again to wake up early," Alexa replied casually.

"Why are you working for an interior design company? Why don't you work at a fashion company, or better yet at our family company?" Steve asked.

"Sit down and finish your milk," Daisy pleaded, and Alexa complied.

"Dad, I got an offer with a pretty good salary at that company, I think it's too good to pass up," Alexa said, she had to lie.

Steve just shook his head. "Well, whatever. You're an adult and can make your own choices. Don't forget, be responsible for every decision you make," Steve said.

Alexa bit her inner lip, and nodded at Steve's words.

"What's the name of the company you work for?" Daisy asked.

Alexa squealed as she bit her own lip, as Daisy's question took her by surprise. How could she not, until now none of her parents knew where exactly Alexa worked.

Something that Alexa hadn't been able to honestly explain to her parents was that she worked for a company that had made a loss to the company headed by Steve.

"Mom, Dad next time we talk. I don't want to be late coming to the office, I'm still new and have to show my work spirit," Alexa said and shook hands with her parents.

Arriving at the office, Alexa came straight to the pantry and immediately made coffee for Arley. This morning she had started preparing breakfast for her boss. But unfortunately she was too slow to arrive, so she didn't buy anything for Arley.

After making the coffee she immediately headed to Arley's room.

"Hopefully Mr. Arley will accept this breakfast," Alexa muttered.

Once in front of Arley's room, Alexa immediately opened the door and entered. Right on cue, the man was already there ahead of her.

"Excuse me." Alexa walked over to Arley's desk and set it down.

"Just coffee?" asked Arley.

"Sorry, I really didn't get around to buying breakfast for you this morning, sir, but don't worry. I still have my breakfast, I just haven't eaten it yet. I think this is perfect for Mr. Arley's breakfast this morning, coffee and chocolate jam sandwich," Alexa replied with a smiling face as she took out her breakfast from her bag.

"Excuse me, sir." A man who looked younger than Arley just walked into the room.

"Yes, Alvin," Arley replied.

"I'm just reminding you, there was a meeting with the client yesterday in 30 minutes, regarding the design changes they requested," Alvin said.

"Yes."

"Then you'll have to excuse me." After that, Alvin left the room.

Alexa looked back at Arley with a confused look. As Arley's assistant in the office, she had no idea of her boss's meeting schedule.

"Is it polite to look at me like that?"

Arley's question made Alexa a little awkward.

"Excuse me sir, is my job just like this? Why don't I know your meeting schedule, so I can prepare your work files?" Alexa said.

"That's not your job!"

Alexa stared at Arley. Her job wasn't to take care of work issues, so what was her real job?

"I'm Mr.'s personal assistant in the office, but why does it feel like a baby sitter?" grumbled Alexa.

"You think I'm a baby? Don't disturb the start of my day, you'd better go back to your office," Arley pleaded.

Although, it felt like Alexa was very annoyed with Arley for kicking her out, but she still obeyed Arley's orders. She would avenge everything that man had ever done to her family's company.

Yes, by giving Ef all the information she knew, Alexa did not naively think that Ef wanted to destroy Arley. Although, she didn't really understand the issues between the two men.

Alexa was just trying to enjoy her role as a spy. She also wanted to know why the man had the heart to cheat JN Corp.

***

At the moment when Arley had left his room for the meeting room, the man took his wide strides past Alexa's room.

Where without Arley knowing, Alexa was peeking to make sure that Arley had left her room. She finally had the opportunity she had been waiting for.

"I have to carry out an assignment from Mr. Ef," she muttered.

Alexa left her room and walked towards Arley's room, before entering she looked at the situation around her and made sure that it was safe.

Once it was deemed safe Alexa immediately entered the CEO's room. Many times the woman took a deep breath and let it out roughly. With her hand clutching the flashdrive, she led the way to Arley's desk.

"There's the laptop," Alexa muttered.

Slowly Alexa began to open the square object, a smile continuing to rise from her nude-colored lips due to lipstick polish.

Alexa turned on the laptop, vigilantly, she kept her eyes on the door.

"Hurry Alexa...hurry," she muttered.

She began connecting the pendrive she had brought to Arley's laptop.

Where is the important data that Mr. Arley keeps?" Alexa was still surfing for the important files she needed to copy.

Alexa hurriedly closed the laptop, knowing that someone had entered the room. As quickly as possible she unplugged the pendrive that was connected there.

"Alexa! What are you doing here?" The half shouted voice, seemed to make Alexa's heart want to jump.

"I'm ...."
