Once again, Jane scans the well-arranged stage. Some staff members are seen checking and ensuring various things around.
"Are you nervous, Olive?"
It feels like that question is completely unnecessary. Jane turns to where Brina is nearby. She smiles with a slow exhale, as if experiencing the same thing as Jane. "Not just you, Olive. Me too."
Jane smiles faintly. "I thought you wouldn't feel that way."
Brina sighs irritably. "The only person Fabian will look for if there's a tiny mistake is me, Olive. You know, Fabian turns into a monster if that happens."
Jane laughs. She can already imagine if Brina's words come true. "So, I really have to focus here."
"You have to." Brina says with a final tone. "Don't let all your rehearsals go to waste. We're all counting on you, Olive."
Actually, for Jane, this trust is very heavy. The most fundamental and essential reason is because she's new to this world. Sh

The sound of music begins to play, and the welcoming speeches have been going on for a while. The backstage commotion adds to the list of anxieties hitting Jane. She repeatedly tries to calm herself while waiting for her turn. Brina has actually forbidden her from leaving the room, but Jane is still Jane.She wants to check with her own eyes how the stage is being visited by the guests. Jane can clearly see some staff in special uniforms escorting them to their designated places. Some faces are vaguely familiar to Jane's memory. Although she rarely attended business events with Austin in the past, Kate sometimes invited her to more private meetings.And it is in such places that Jane got to know some faces that are now sitting around the stage."Don't worry, everything will be fine," Jane says, squeezing each other's hands."Olive," calls Brina, making Jane turn. "Your turn is in five minutes."This is the moment. As soon as Jane steps out from bac

The world Jane steps into now seems to stop. There's only her, staring at the man in front of her. He sits calmly, with a faint smile, occasionally engaging sweetly with the woman beside him. When Austin is with her, he never acts gentle. What she sees feels like her heart being roughly squeezed."I'm here to save you, Olive."That's Fabian's voice. It sounds clear, making Jane immediately realize she shouldn't stay silent here. Jane blinks twice, convincing herself that Fabian is indeed there. She gives a faint smile while reaching out her hand. No, Jane is sure Fabian doesn't want that hand to be greeted but signals her to continue walking.So that's what Jane does. Even though she feels like her feet aren't touching the ground anymore, she tries hard to minimize any mistakes that could happen due to her silence earlier. Brina's voice giving instructions, Nico directing how she should pose appropriately with its own aesthetic value, and the voices of the noisy

Fabian glanced at his watch. The press conference he had to attend is just five minutes away. This conference is crucial for the success of SEO's season turnover. Surely, high-ranking SEO officials are eagerly awaiting what he will talk about during the conference. They might even be watching to see how the event, which started an hour ago, has successfully unfolded."Sir," gasps Irena."Did you meet a ghost?" Fabian smirks while pulling out his cigarette. "Five minutes late, Irena."Irena groans in frustration. "I can't move freely, that annoying SEO boss! This dress is really hindering me."Fabian wants to laugh, but only a thin grin appears. Imagining Irena running around in a slightly tight dress around her legs seems quite challenging. But in Fabian's eyes, tonight, Irena looks different. Much more graceful than her everyday tight pants and stiff blouse."But occasionally, it doesn't matter, Irena. You look different."Irena smirks. "I

Calysta's hands clenched non-stop. Her heart began to feel hot, and she really wanted to vent all the frustration that was hitting her. Her attendance at this fashion show, besides solidifying her relationship with Austin—oh, anyone would want to be connected to a man like Austin whom she has already conquered. Apart from the fact that the Don William family has a significant influence in the business in this country, what woman wouldn't be fascinated by Austin's charm?Even when she got out of the car, Calysta could already see many eyes looking at her future husband. No problem. Calysta isn't a real issue, actually. After all, she's confident that Austin won't be able to stay far from her. She came to this place not without purpose.Every time SEO holds a showcase for the latest designs, it is always surrounded by many business people and prominent figures in the country. Calysta wants to take the opportunity to get to know them better. So that she can be more

The whole event is over, and the woman didn't expect to endure until the last session; the lively closing ceremony. Fireworks lit up as a sign that the hard work of most SEO staff had paid off. And almost none of them finished the event until it was truly over.Still, the main boss is still there, occasionally greeting the workers warmly. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, Fabian is met with puzzled looks. Also, the staff quickly leaves him. As if Fabian's friendly greetings were the weirdest thing in the world."Why are they acting like this?" Fabian mutters in surprise. He loosens his shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbows. Fabian doesn't pay too much attention to his appearance at this final session. He just wants to ensure that his guests are well taken care of."I think you should head back to the hotel, Olive," Fabian approaches Jane, who is sitting at the edge of the banquet area. Most guests have already left, leaving the workers to tidy up everyt

Austin pours himself more wine, his companion for the night. Glancing at the large bed in the middle of the room, Calysta is already fast asleep, wrapped in a blanket. He recalls what happened before she truly went into the realm of dreams, engaging in an activity that Austin always enjoys every time he's with Calysta.Whispering each other's names and reaching the peak of pleasure together. Moreover, tonight's atmosphere is very conducive for Austin to fulfill his desires, although... something bothers him. He tries to push it away, but still, the uneasiness returns. It forces him to step aside for a moment, pondering what is really happening.In his other hand, a tablet plays the replay of the press conference that SEO Fashion held. It hasn't been twenty-four hours since he attended the event. From the opening session to the Q&A, Austin doesn't miss a single part. Occasionally, he sips wine from his glass. He waits for something that will undoubtedly surface duri

"There's something we want to buy, Olive. Maybe after this, we'll head to downtown. Aren't you curious about how this city is?" Ursula asks with sparkling eyes. "I, for one, can't wait to roam around the Yamada building. Lots of tourist spots and shopping centers.""Your straightforward mind reveals something, Sula," Harvey teases with a chuckle. "But I agree with you. We do need the city vibes to relax. When else can we enjoy the beauty of the city dubbed the romantic city in the West? We're duty-free for the next two days."Ursula laughs. "The torment is coming, and it feels suffocating if we can't make the most of our free time."Jane, who has been enjoying their conversation, furrows her brow. "Will that apply to me too?"They all nod together."Especially you," Harvey quickly adds. "I'm sure Irena is busy arranging your schedule. I remember when I first joined SEO and completed my first task. I couldn't imagine how tired and on the verge of te

Jane couldn't hide her surprise at the many things she had to do. Irena, sitting in front of her, chose to enjoy the slices of cake Jane served. She could see Jane's eyes wandering, examining every part of the sheet that had just been handed over."You... aren't kidding, right, Irena?" Jane asks with an incredulous look."There's no way I'd lie to you about the schedule." Irena chuckles. "I've also given your schedule to Brina. You're lucky; Brina is asked to handle you this season."Jane is stunned."That's why the noisy trio doesn't bother me, Olive." Irena cheers. "Apart from Brina being a blessing for them, you know.""Oh my." Jane can only sigh in frustration. She didn't care about who her partner would be during the SEO schedule. Brina and Nico had warned her; she had to prepare herself as much as possible after the show. Her vacation was only two days and had to be used wisely.Fortunately, the noisy trio also got the same holiday sch

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." Jane approached as she set down the cup of tea she had j

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
