2024-10-29 19:42:56He was indeed tired. Today's journey was a round trip, where he did not allow a moment to take a pause just to close his eyes to reduce fatigue. He was racing against time as well as his goal. Don't let all the plans that have been arranged in his head, fall apart.
"Mom?" asked Austin in surprise. As he stepped into the house, his mother was still awake. Sitting quietly accompanied by Maria and a cup of tea and some snacks. "You're not asleep yet?"
Kate looked up and smiled slightly. "Couldn't sleep." She patted the couch at her side. "Sit down. Let Maria make you some tea."
Austin took a hesitant step. In the past few months, his communication and the way he treated his mother had been poor. He realized that. He did it all because he wanted to make Calysta comfortable while living with him here. Calysta's status was no longer that of an illicit lover, but that of his chosen wife. Which the mother should have appreciated, right?
But now?

"How was the briefing yesterday?" asked Austin without slowing down his wide stride towards the room where he worked. At ten o'clock this morning, there were many things to discuss with Richard. And before the time came, he had to finalize a few things first."It went well, sir." Jacob said excitedly. "All the things discussed with the production and marketing teams have gone off without a hitch.""What about the model? No objections?"Jacob shook his head immediately. Although his boss did not see it firsthand, it did not matter to the man who was excited this morning. Though the odner of reports he had to work on was not small which took up his time and energy. But talking about what happened yesterday, he had plenty of energy. "Mrs. Jane is fine with the concept we want." Jacob continued to follow Austin's big steps which did not slow down at all. It was as if he was on a time crunch with so many things to catch up on. Jacob tried not to fall behind."

"Prepare yourself, we're going to Milan tonight."It was a good thing Richard had swallowed his coffee. Otherwise, he might have spewed the contents of his mouth right into Austin's face. But he really wanted to be able to do that, anyway. Once in a while shouldn't be a problem considering how much work he had to do for Goojoo and this stupid guy."You're crazy!" snapped Richard in disgust. "I have a date with Ursula tomorrow. I released her today because she wanted to be with Mrs. Jane. You know, he never wants to miss out on the fun with your ex-wife.""Can you not bring that woman's name up here?"Richard grumbled in annoyance. "You don't want me to say her name, but you need her help. Think with a sane head, Austin."The man sitting in front of Richard chose to read the report submitted just now. Most of them contained the bills of lading and evidence of the exchange that took place at the port. In the absence of this evidence, they could do no

Richard stepped lightly out of Austin's office. Occasionally responding to the friendly greetings directed at him. Frequent pacing around Austin's office, made Richard a little familiar with some of the faces there.While waiting for the elevator to take him down, he used the time to call his spoiled girlfriend. Somehow hearing Sula's voice kept his energy at one hundred percent."Hi, honey," Richard greeted as soon as his phone got a response. Boisterous voices and laughter sounded as accompaniment. "Looks like you're having fun?"Sula laughed, "Sort of. Don't you want to catch up? They're fine and I just found out that Fabian has such a beautiful place. What a boss!"Richard chuckled at Ursula's complaint. "I'd love to be with you but I can't just leave work. You don't mind, do you?""Have I ever complained?" asked Sula in a slightly annoyed voice. "I hope all your work can go smoothly and that you can complete it as well as possible.""Si

"Bye, Sula," Giselle squealed the loudest. Not because she was the most excited that Ursula was being picked up by her boyfriend on her way to Milan. But because her best friend was going to spend the night without them. Jane had promised a delicious dinner that they could enjoy on the beach. Plus Fabian had bought a lot of fish and other seafood ingredients."You're such a bitch, Giselle!" Ursula glared in disapproval. "Just watch out for you later.""Oops!" Giselle laughed. "Hurry up and leave. Missing the plane will be a hassle."Richard just laughed as they all teased his girlfriend who sat with her face bent. His hands were folded on his chest in exasperation. Also, his eyes glanced at his friends several times. As if she had no intention of replying to their taunts about food."Olive's baked potatoes are the best in the world, Sula." Harvey chimed in with a taunt for Ursula."Come on, honey. We'd better get away from them." Ursula quickly clo

Calysta returned home with hurried steps. She even carried her high shoes so as not to make it difficult for her to walk to Austin's office. She had to talk to her husband. What was this all about?Even so, Calysta was also struck with considerable fear. QC Goojoo coming with two policemen was not a trivial matter. They confiscated the goods he was about to vanish from Yookie's warehouse. Tsk! Why did no one pay attention to her concerns in the first place? It was dismissed as a trivial matter because there was no way Goojoo's people would do a search. And now?"Madam, are you home?" asked Poppie with a smiling face. Madame hadn't returned home last night, much to the annoyance of the other maids. Ever since she was asked to serve Calysta personally, she felt that she was above the other servants, that she could say anything that would give her the upper hand."Is my husband home?" she asked as she handed over the shoes she was carrying immediately. "Get me some

[Emir QC Team: Sir, we have checked all the items. As you expected, everything in the box is Goojoo mili. We have also sent them to the main warehouse in HolyWing to double-check whether there is any other damage or not, while HolyWing is already running to fulfill the complaint quota. Within a week, we can enter the finishing time. We are speeding up as much as possible for delivery].Austin read the message at almost five in the morning. His head was a little dizzy from lack of sleep. They arrived in Milan at eleven at night and immediately checked in to rest. But Austin couldn't stay still even though he had fallen asleep for a while. Maybe he was so tired he didn't realize time was spinning fast. Maybe it was also because there was so much to take care of, so time felt tight.He immediately typed a short reply message to his subordinate. at least the goods taken from Yookie, he could use to fulfill Milan's demands. It's not that he can't make new production goods,

The talks with Jonathan were uneventful except for his request, which was quite difficult for Austin to fulfill. But at least the man didn't cancel their project. It was considered that this mistake was purely due to an error in delivery. Austin was willing to give a special price because of this negligence. minus saying openly what really happened.It can lose credibility if the client knows what happened. Such things should be minimized."Oiya," Jonathan had been casual all along. This time they were sitting in between banquet meals. "When you messed up a few weeks ago, there was a party that offered cooperation. I saw that the samples sent were good and to our liking. As for the price, I think we can adjust it to the total order quota."Austin listened rather seriously. "Did you check the samples?"Jonathan nodded without hesitation. "Would you like to see it?""If it's allowed, I'd be happy to see it." Austin smiled faintly, but the tail of his

[Geno: I'm sorry Miss Jane, starting tomorrow I've been asked by Lady Calysta to keep an eye on you. So I'll probably be standing by near Madam's house. Please forgive me if I've been rude."]The message came in just as Jane put the baked spaghetti in the oven. This afternoon was their last day together enjoying a free day. Afterward, both Harvey and Giselle went back to their busy lives. Just as she was starting her new project at Goojoo. He hopes to finish his work there soon. Not because other schedules were waiting, but he really didn't want to deal with Goojoo for long."Why are you staring at your phone with a frown on your forehead?" asked Fabian who noticed the change in his girlfriend's expression. It was fine if Jane didn't want to admit it yet. The opportunity for him to get closer to Jane as more than just a friend or boss, he already considered as a green signal that burned brightly.Eventually Jane would recognize that he was the right man to be be

Jane tightened the coat she was wearing a little. The road she was walking on was a little slippery, even though she was wearing boots and watching her step, she still had to be very careful. The air around her dropped a few degrees from what she expected."Are you okay?" asked Fabian as he fixed the scarf Jane was wearing."That question is for you, Fabian." Jane chuckled. Fabian's face was already very red from the cold that hit them."You're really out of your depth when it comes to the place you'd most like to visit." Fabian spluttered. Rubbing his hands even though he was wearing gloves."But this place is exotic, right?"Fabian could not disagree with Jane's words just now. Especially seeing the twinkle that wouldn't leave since they arrived at the airport closest to this place. no. not close, but within reach of the place where they spent their days and time together after becoming husband and wife.The trip to Tibet was tiring but Ja

Jane couldn't help but laugh. "Forgive Fabian then.""No!" Rosalyn shook her head. "After you are married, you must stay at our house. There's a lot we want to hear about your relationship. Oh, my God! Fabian was really testing my patience. Why else would Zephyr have such a troublesome brother like Fabian!"The woman wasn't really angry. Just grumbling about her brother's behavior which she thought was a bit out of line. More than anything, Rosalyn was happy and touched. There was nothing she could do but wish them both happiness. Although the relationship between her husband and Fabian was not blood, couldn't a brotherhood be formed because of the setting? After all, Zephyr's affection for Fabian was not a trivial matter.Rosalyn realized that."We will definitely visit often, Ros. I promise. I'll make Fabian obey me in visiting you."Rosalyn smiled brightly. "Ah..." she felt like pulling Jane into her arms but it was impossible. She might get ang

"Quiet look on your face, Olive," Ursula said casually, but at least this redheaded woman's arrival came with the mineral bottle Jane needed."Hey, you're talking out of your ass," Harvey retorted with a disapproving glint in his eye. It's so representative of Jane's expression that he has to keep his smile and the outfit he's wearing this afternoon. He wants to talk a lot but the tension that's engulfing him doesn't go away easily."Did you forget how tense you were before the ceremony to legalize marriage?" Harvey spoke again with a look that had not been released from Ursula. The insinuated one, meanwhile, just shrugged her shoulders without feeling guilty. His hand skillfully unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Jane.As she said, "Drink first, relieve the tension. It's even more tense in front of the priest. You're about to take your vows for life with Fabian. You know, that's the moment when you have to convince your heart whether you can live togethe

Austin stared for a long time at the cell phone that displayed news about his ex-wife. Many things had apparently been accomplished by the woman who once lived with him in the big house that was now much quieter. Not wanting any regrets, Austin chose to put the phone back in the drawer.Their last meeting, although it left quite a deep impression on Austin, still wouldn't change anything. everything that had happened, could not be regretted more deeply. It was useless. He also didn't want to dwell on what was present in his life. He had to keep going, right? There was no way he could stay in the same spot while lamenting why he could be so stupid as to give a judgment?"You deserve real happiness, not a false one that ends horribly when you're with me, Jane." Austin let out a long sigh. His eyes were firmly closed with his hands clenched. He shook his head softly as his mind suddenly replayed the memory of his ex-wife's presence in the house."At least God is st

"How was your honeymoon?" asked Giselle without any awkwardness. She was being helped to wear a peach-colored dress that wrapped her body gracefully. On the back, there was a large, well-embroidered ribbon decorated with beautiful maple leaves."Do I have to tell you in detail?" Ursula gave Harvey an ignorant glance. "You must be curious, right, Harvey?"The girl who was wearing brocade gloves just chuckled. Her eyes looked at Ursula through the reflection of the large mirror in front of her. "Aren't you the one who requested special teaching from me because you have no experience?"Ursula spluttered but then, looked up as if she was already an expert in the matter they were talking about. "But I can honestly say, I didn't use any of your advice."Harvey stuck out his tongue. "How could I!""Ask Richard directly how I acted in front of him.""I don't think it was Richard who pounced on Sula. It was the other way around." Giselle had finished

"Looks like he's busy with his cell phone." Brina giggled in the doorway of Giselle's room. Jane stood not far from her. In her hand was a tray of chicken soup and porridge that she had made for Giselle.Hoping that the girl's appetite would return and her health would gradually improve. But it seemed, from the slight crack in Giselle's door that was not closed tightly, it could already be seen that Giselle was fine.Minus her pretty face scowling with eyes focused on the cell phone."But if you wait outside, Giselle won't eat this soup." Jane smiled slightly and knocked lightly on Giselle's bedroom door. Suddenly, the girl was slightly startled and hid her cell phone.Just like a teenage girl who was caught doing something. But so be it. As long as nothing made Giselle sad or disappointed, Jane was happy."I hope you like my cooking."Giselle smiled widely. "When would I turn it down." She prepared to sit on the back of the bed. The blanket

"I just want to go home," Giselle said in a low tone but her eyes were full of pleading. Which made Jane sigh repeatedly. I don't know how many times she shook her head with excuses, but none of Jane's words were heard by Giselle."Until your IV bag runs out, Giselle. The doctor is very tolerant of that." Harvey spoke this time. There was an unspoken but clearly audible final tone that made Giselle look away."You're so stubborn!" Harvey scowled. He was getting a bit annoyed with Giselle's childish behavior this time. It was much more troublesome with Giselle's unreasonable behavior than Ursula's indulgence that sometimes made him uneasy.Brina, who had been accompanying Giselle, could only remain silent. It also seemed like she had given up on giving many words to the beautiful girl who was lying weak."Can you leave us alone?" asked Jane which made them all look at her in surprise. Which Jane greeted with a warm smile. "I want to talk to Giselle. You do

As the grand show approached, there was nothing much Jane could do. The four pillars of SEO were specially asked to participate in the event to commemorate SEO's eighth anniversary. For most people who are familiar with SEO's signature clothing pieces, this event is highly anticipated. Because there will be many surprises given by Fabian there.Including special discounts for the purchase of certain items.Who wouldn't be tempted? Plus being able to attend the event, which for this year opened up a much wider reach."The concept is really good," says Giselle as she enjoys Jane's fruit jelly. The trip to Long Island and then to Milan and back to the city center where she lives was quite draining. She felt like her body could collapse at any moment. And it also felt like she had a queasy stomach.The effects of a long trip were quite miserable for Giselle."You'd better get some rest, Giselle."

The wedding party, which was predicted to be the most luxurious party of the year, was very well organized. Not many problems occurred because Ursula hired the services of a leading WO and was known for her very high-flying hours at major celebrity events. This includes officials and influential people living in the country.The red-haired girl's smile was beautiful as she accompanied all the events that took place a few hours after the sacred vows between them were lovingly exchanged."I don't know who's lucky to get who," Harvey says, wiping the corners of his eyes. Beside him sat Giselle and Jane. He was in the middle of his two friends. Not only her, but her two friends also seemed to be moved by the bond that was now in Ursula's life."They're both lucky, Harvey," Giselle said with a big smile.
