"Are you sure Austin won't ask too many questions?" asked Samantha with a suspicious glint in her eye. She herself was surprised by Calysta's calmness and carefree smile. At a time like this, the woman was just relaxing and enjoying the rest of her day before heading home? Seriously!
If Samantha made even a small mistake, her heart would feel insecure and she would be on edge. She couldn't even enjoy eating because she realized what was going to happen to her. Although she can still control it, losing Don William's trust is like losing a gold mine.
Even so, Samantha is now much better at securing her position. If something bad happens, she knows which party to hold responsible. Don't blame her for being cunning because she doesn't want what she has gained to evaporate easily. No. The past had taught her to be more resourceful.
The question just now made Calysta laugh. She went back to savoring the tea that Sams' employee had served her. "I know how my husband is
Austin woke up today a little tired. His hands also felt numb. His eyes also felt hot. As soon as he realized, he was sleeping on his hands and a desk. Lots of reports and a laptop that was still on. "Oh my, I overslept."He also noticed the surroundings, nothing had changed including the closed door. Not even the dinner she had asked to be delivered to her room. It was still fresh in his memory how Maria looked at him in surprise."Are you... alright, sir?" she asked after dinner was served."I guess I'm just tired." Austin tried to stay focused. "You can go. Make sure Calysta doesn't mess up at the door. I don't want to be disturbed.""B-good, sir.""Did you take care of my mom, Maria?" asked Austin as he ate his dinner. He had been eating at irregular hours for the past few days. In fact, she often delayed her food intake just to take care of the unfinished report."I have, sir.""That's good.""Then you'll have to excuse me
Kate didn't know what to make of her face. She was obviously happy for the woman in front of her now. There was also a sense of sadness because there were many things that Kate had missed with Jane. Not to mention her longing for the woman who was like her own child."I'm really surprised, darling," Kate said as she grasped Jane's hand tightly. "You're not busy with your schedule, are you?""Not yet." Jane laughed. "From tomorrow I'm back to the reality where I spend most of my time outside."Kate was lost in Jane's laughter. "But you seem to like what you're doing now. Mommy's right, isn't she?""Of course." Jane's face lit up with excitement. "I've never been in a world like this. It's foreign but I'm starting to enjoy it. And I believe that when we give our best when we do something, good things will follow.""You're right."A woman staggered over to those who were chatting intimately. The corners of her eyes watered with a mixture of joy
"Did you take care of your problem, Calysta?" asked Samantha. In her hand was a freshly checked report on the latest submission to Keith Corp."With Austin?" asked Calysta with a smile as sweet as honey. "Not quite yet. Just asking why his stuff is at Yookie's.""What's your reason?" Samantha was quite curious about what Calysta could say with the facts Austin had gotten on the ground. No matter what, she had to know what kind of moves this woman was making. The problem was that it was about to be delivered to Sams' warehouse - supposedly - but Goojoo's people found it.There was no way that wasn't a problem for Austin. Especially since the item was related to Goojoo's survival."Um..." Calysta rubbed the tip of her chin casually. Her eyes twinkled merrily. "I haven't said anything yet. Last night we spent so much time together that... You'll understand where I'm going with this, right?"Samantha could only shake her head in wonder at this woman's
"I heard you weren't at work yesterday?" asked Richard on the other end. This morning, Austin deliberately came early to his office. Not because he had something to take care of but he didn't want to be at the same table with Calysta. He might lose his appetite.He still couldn't lower his temper because of what she did. Don't let his anger be detrimental to him. It seemed like he had to listen carefully to everything Richard said about how dangerous Calysta's move was. It could be that Austin's anger at the woman would backfire on him later.It didn't. Austin chose to leave it alone until he felt that everything was ready to turn things around. And on this trip, his partner and best friend had called. He frowned in disbelief at the name on his screen."It's still early. Are you worried about me?" asked Austin in a scornful voice. "I know, you can't live without me. You need me to pay for your wedding, right?""Asshole!"But afterward, they laughed
"How's your work going, Emir?" asked Austin once he had finished signing off on some reports that the finance division had submitted to him. Emir, who had been waiting for the boss to hear and read the reports, could only sit with his back slightly straightened on the living room sofa in the boss's office.Austin invited Emir to sit in front of him because he still had to work on other parts, especially in the marketing division. Jacob said that the shooting process and the first briefing regarding the making of the advertisement had begun. If it goes well, the time needed can be shortened considering the target release on mass media both print and online, Goojoo has its own wishes.Roughly speaking, not to fall behind the trend."Thank you, sir," said Emir reluctantly. He handed over a file of reports on what he had done during his time at GreenWing. Including a task that made him a little surprised but couldn't be denied because the boss himself had asked for
After Richard left, Austin couldn't work. Instead, he was busy thinking of something; what would the man do? Richard didn't mention exactly how the plan would be carried out. Instead, the risks were told first."Does this mean... that what I've been trying to cover up will be revealed?" he asked softly. "What do you really want, Calysta? Isn't what you've got enough when it comes to material things?" She let out a long sigh. His concentration was clearly no longer there to simply read the report.Compared to what he was doing while checking, it was better for Austin to pause. Flashbacks of his life played slowly in his mind. The beginning of his introduction to Calysta. The sweetness of their love story. His disappointment and anger that his father preferred a foreign woman to be his wife; Jane Oliver, instead of approving his relationship with his lover. What makes Austin not care how much money to shut up the news seekers. To keep them out of his private life.
"You came," Calysta said in a half-squeal. She left her discussion with one of the reporters-Geno-about how Jane's Goojoo product was being advertised. This discussion was also with Jacob and the man really liked the idea of the boss's wife."Just dropping by." Austin smiled slightly. There was no way he could dismiss Calysta's hand that was clinging to him. For some reason, his heart began to fill with questions, since when did Calysta pretend to love him just so she could achieve her goal? Because really, her charade was working like a charm."You must be very busy." Calysta slightly pulled the arm she was giggling with closer to the person she wanted to introduce to her husband-Geno."I need to see my wife, right?" Austin grinned slightly."It just so happens that the person I want to introduce you to is here." Calysta smiled widely. "This is Geno. The journalist whose name has been on the rise lately."Austin looked closely at the thin man with
Austin opened the door to the room reserved for Jane and the rest of the SEO staff. There were some items that he felt had been left there intentionally. Goojoo staff had deliberately placed a sofa and some other facilities during this advertising project."Please," Austin said, inviting Jane to enter. To which without hesitation the woman walked gracefully without ever looking down in front of him. The Jane he knew was much different from the Jane in front of him now.Wearing a black dress with a sabrina collar that displayed Jane's shoulder blades perfectly. Not to mention that her slender neck was exposed without being covered by anything, not even a necklace was worn as an accessory. Just wearing small pearl earrings matching the frames of her glasses today. And that was the only accessory that stood out from what she was wearing.Oh... one more thing, the bracelet she gave me yesterday. It wasn't for no reason that she gave the bracelet. It belonged to her
