2024-10-29 19:42:56Austin 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

Austin knew it was Calysta's ploy. To get him to sit in a corner of a fancy restaurant eating dinner. No meeting with Samantha or Keith. Only a fool would let his secret out in front of the person he cheated on. Austin knew that.But he followed Calysta's game this evening. There was no way he could brush off his wife's rudeness because they were in public. Don't let Austin's plan to find out what Calysta wants turn against him."You're not telling the truth, Calysta," Austin said as he sipped his share of wine. The atmosphere in the restaurant was quite calm, probably because the choice of a place that was private enough for them not to be disturbed by other diners."Auntie canceled it," Calysta said casually. "I can't do anything if she canceled it, right? I'll be at Goojoo all day to watch the advertisement process anyway.""You don't have to bother." Austin took his share of the plate. "I happen to be hungry. Do you want to eat this dinner first, or d

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. "I'm so happy today to witness the beginning of Sula's happiness.""You're right." Jane chimed in. "I pray they are always blessed with happiness.""Ca
