Mr. Kim
“Introduce me to Mr. Kim’s Secretary, young man you can call me Joe,” the middle-aged man who already had gray hair in part of his hair said. The man smiled at Lexi with great friendliness. His aura was very positive, reminding Lexi of his uncle.
“Mr. Joe, I’m Lexi.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Lexi Ricardo, I already know your name, young man. Everyone in this house even knew your name before seeing and meeting you.” The man’s calm disposition made Lexi a little nervous and scared.
“Let me introduce you to Lexi.” Lexi politely lowered his head and reached out to shake hands.
” just call me Joe, ” he said very casually. And the corners of her lips just kept widening giving his a friendly smile. He shook Lexi’s hand tightly.
“No Sir. Emm-does Mr. Kim want to see me?,” Lexi asked trying to take a seat and position himself as comfortably as possible.
“Sure, wait a little longer.” Joe turned his eyes towards the door and it turned out that Mr. Kim was already standing there, the man stepped towards him.
“Mr. Kim is walking here. Good Luck, I’m sure you can definitely knock his heart young man. Keep calm and convey in a friendly manner. Don’t get emotional and don’t use your ego. Give up to win. Got it!” Joe advised Lexi, not because he sided with Lexi. He just wanted there to be no dispute between Mr. Kim and his grandson.
Lexi followed the gaze of the middle-aged man who had just given him a message. And in front of him he saw Mr. Kim walking towards them with sharp eyes.
This was Lexi’s first time coming face to face with the man up close. Although already middle-aged, and no longer young. The aura was very strong. His wrinkled forehead indicated that the man was a thinker.
“I’m leaving now!” Joe said leaving Mr. Kim and Lexi. No, he didn’t need to know what they wanted to talk about.
Mr. Kim took a seat in front of Lexi. The look in the man’s eyes alone made the interlocutor tremble. Lexi refocused his mind. He said hello to the grandfather of his wife.
“Grandpa Kim, Good Morning.” Lexi straightened her head, to steal a glance.
The man was still silent and only looked into one eye.
“Grandpa, I met Jessica earlier,” Lexi said again, driving away all the fear and nervousness that resided in him.
Mr. Kim, this time looked at Lexi for two seconds and looked away again. He chose to examine what was going on in his heart. There was still debate within himself.
“Why are you silent, grandpa?” Lexi, who felt stuck, did not know what to say while the man in front of him didn’t seem interested in talking to him.
“grandpa? I’m not your grandfather!” Freddy Kim turned his head for a moment, and didn’t like the call that Lexi had said three times in a row.
“Neither I’m not your grandfather, nor am I your boss!” he looked at Lexi longer and returned to look away.
“just call me Mr. Kim!” he was strictly speaking.
“My name is Lexi. You must already know from someone, so I don’t have to introduce myself because Mr. Joe said that everyone in this house already knew my name before even meeting me. ” Lexi said kindly. The corners of his lips widened to form a smile.
“What did you come here for? You came here empty-handed. Are you here just to apologize? If you came here to apologize, then I have forgiven you.” Freddy Kim was still condescending to the young man in front of him. He thought he was nothing and knew nothing.
“Mr. Kim, that’s one of the reasons I came here. However, that was not my main goal.” Lexi gained his confidence. For the sake of Jessica, for the sake of being with her again, he had to face this old man! “I want to give this to you.” Lexi took a file from his bag and handed it to Mr. Kim.
Mr. Kim took a quick glance.
“This is the evidence I have gathered in a month. There is a recording of my father’s voice when he was alive.” Lexi put the file on the table.
Mr. Kim, who was still very sure that this was not the main purpose of Lexi meeting him, preferred to remain silent. It’s also true what Joe said, Lexi was innocent. He had hated Lexi before he even knew him, and had no intention of knowing him. However, this young man now had already called him not by his name, but called him grandfather several times!
“Mr. Kim, I apologize profusely for what happened to Jessica’s parents twelve years ago, I really don’t know if my dad was involved.” Lexi looked down regretfully. All this time he believed in his father and did not expect that the man he always respected and was proud of, his father was involved in a crime. Lexi was hurt, too, but he tried to forgive what his father had done.
“I’ve already done an investigation at the Fashion company you’re referring to. So, for this matter I will not trust anyone, including you. Dann, for this file! I’ll take it. Thank you. I hope you leave my house soon!” Mr. Kim was not fine. He was afraid, afraid that if Lexi continued to speak politely to him, he remembered very well how he hated Ricardo’s family, without exception, including Lexi who did not know about the accident.
“No grandpa!” Lexi interrupted, often hearing Jessica call the man by the name of Grandfather, Lexi suddenly followed her and seemed to be used to the call.
“Mr. Kim, not Grandpa!” The man straightened up. He never thought of being called a grandfather by one of Ricardo’s family members.
“Mr. Kim, I don’t want to go out now. I also asked for permission to bring Jessica back to Jakarta. She’s my wife and I can’t live without seeing her!” Lexi said with full seriousness. He looked at Mr. Kim with pity. wasn’t that the advice Joe gave, not by looking straightly?
“How dare you!” The man chuckled with a condescending expression of the interlocutor. It was not so easy to forgive a man whom he hated for years, even a dozen years.
“Then, what should I do, I have to take it for granted when you give me fake divorce papers! I just want to live with Jessica, the woman that the creator has destined for me. I’m sure this has all happened because it was all destined. So, I beg, grandpa to let me take Jessica to Jakarta!!” he begged.
Long enough silence. All the hate in Kim’s heart was gone. Speaking of fate, he couldn’t be blamed either. If that was indeed the path that had been determined by God, then man indeed had no other choice but to accept it!
Lexi waited, trying to be patient. Mr. Kim’s often wrinkled forehead made him guess what the man was thinking.
“I promise Jessica I won’t hurt her. I will take care of her, I will make her happy. I want to make up for all the mistakes I’ve made in the past. I really hope Grandpa will give me a chance to get back to living together with Jessica!” he said firmly, expressing his heart.
“A real man, not only promises. But prove it by deeds. Elsa, her name is Elsa not Jessica!” Mr. Kim said in response.
“She’s my wife, grandpa, and now I’m going to call her Elsa. The name you gave to her! She’s my wife,” Lexi repeated. He was deliberately making it clear that the woman, the grandfather’s only granddaughter, was his wife.
“I can’t answer that now! Tonight bring Elsa here! We’re talking three! I want to hear a direct answer from him! He’s precious to me! And I’m not just going to leave it to just anyone. What else is a man who does not know the real name of the woman he married!” he just wanted to get Daniel and David back into this room. Mr. Kim sat down. He took the file that Lexi had given him. He just left the young man alone.
Lexi swallowed hard. At least he still had a chance. Yeah, tonight and with Jessica. If necessary tonight he would beg himself at Freddy Kim’s feet. So that the man would allow him to bring Jessica back to Jakarta.
