2024-10-29 19:42:56"What are you thinking, Babe?" Austin asks Calysta, who looks downcast today. It's been two days since they returned from NewCastle. Throughout the journey, Calysta hasn't talked much as usual. Even Austin's suggestion to tour the city and do things she usually enjoys hasn't had much impact.
She shows a faint smile, the rest of the time she remains silent, not responding much to Austin's words. While he can't stay with Calysta at the hotel for too long, the matters in NewCastle are quite important and can't be left unattended. Austin even needed Richard's presence to accompany him.
Calysta turns and tries to smile faintly. She reaches out, touching Austin's cheek gently, then shakes her head as an answer. "I'm okay, Babe. I'm just tired."
Though skeptical, Austin chooses to believe. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"You better go to the office, right? It's time for you to leave." Calysta stands and approaches Austin. She leans affectionately on his s

Richard didn't know how to react when the latest issue, featuring Jane on the cover, was in his hands. She stands there confidently, appearing to have just finished an interview session after the SEO event."An extraordinary breakthrough," he says, lifting his cup and sipping his ordered coffee. As usual, when there's something that requires concentration, his way of working is to sit in a corner of the cafe. He ordered it specifically to work there. He has a somewhat peculiar view of what focus is."You truly let go of the fears that bound you, Mrs.," Richard smiles broadly. "It's not wrong if Mr. Charles cherishes you with all his heart." He glances at the folder Jane gave him. Nothing has changed in the contents. Everything is going as it should. Even Austin, the majority shareholder, knows what Richard is doing.The transfer of ownership rights that Charles gave to Jane, following the existing procedures. Everything is under the control of Kate Don William a

"How's the wedding preparation going?" Samantha initiates their conversation, of course, after some small talk. She warmly welcomes Calysta's arrival with a hug and a few compliments about the woman who will be part of the Don William family.Actually, Samantha isn't too interested in her nephew's love story, but this time she needs Calysta. Someone easy for her to manipulate. "So far, no obstacles. Rossa is helping me remarkably."Samantha smiles cheerfully. "Thank goodness." She then calls the waiter to host Calysta, who has just arrived. "I've ordered dishes that I'm sure you can't resist. The chef here is skilled in taste matters.""I'm sure you has the best taste.""When will you make the official announcement? I can't wait to hear the news in the media." Samantha looks intently at her conversation partner."Austin said this week. He's dealing with something; his work in Newcastle reached an agreement.""Wow. I heard the project Austin

Ursula strolled casually into the building she was heading to today. Allowing her pink hair to flutter in the wind. Her brown glasses perched sweetly on her sharp nose. The tote bag hanging from her hand matched her shoes. Since delving into the world where almost everyone's eyes were on her, Ursula could no longer haphazardly choose her clothes. There had to be a meeting point in the game of colors."Are you okay meeting that guy alone?" Karen asked, slightly questioning Ursula's actions. "If Fabian finds out, you'll definitely be in trouble.""Really?" Ursula asked with a playful face. "Don't worry. As long as you keep your mouth shut, I won't be in any trouble. Who knows, maybe you dare to say our return is accelerated. Besides, what else do I have to do when the job there is already done?" She shrugged. Her steps lightly floated in the lobby, not caring too much if she was already in the spotlight."Yeah, yeah. I'll keep my mouth shut," Karen said in a defea

"I think I've got everything." Jane checks her shopping basket once again, making sure nothing's left behind while carefully reading Giselle's message about the kitchen area. She doesn't want to forget anything because, honestly, Jane hates going back to search for things she needs during the cooking process.She promises honey-glazed roast chicken with mashed potatoes as a carb substitute. The snack she's bringing is chilled chocolate-filled fruit. As soon as Jane announces the menu in the group, the noisy trio is already making a fuss. Jane can't wait to get to Giselle's apartment and start cooking. They even emptied their stomachs so they can eat double portions of Jane's food.Jane can only laugh at their antics, and truth be told, that's what she really missed about the three of them. That's why Jane woke up earlier and moved her visit schedule two hours ahead. She also needed time to shop, right?Her phone rings loudly, making Jane furrow her brow a bit. Brina's name appears on

"Where did it come from, yours?" Giselle retorts, holding the box tightly. Getting tighter because Ursula doesn't easily give up. "Besides, since when do you like chocolate? You're just a potato girl, Sula.""No!" Ursula continues to chase Giselle, not wanting all the contents of the box to end up in Giselle's stomach. Her friend and chocolate are a pair that is not easily separated. "I like Olive's homemade chocolate.""I still have three more boxes, Sula." Jane intervenes, bringing a box similar to Giselle's because she's sure Giselle just wants to tease Sula. As proof, Giselle makes a silly face shortly after Ursula stops her chasing action."You're really stingy, Giselle." Ursula tosses her red hair, wiping her slightly wet forehead. "Which part is mine?" The girl's eyes gaze at each box that Jane brought."Yours is the pink one, Sula. Giselle's is white, and Harvey's is red. I made an equal amount. So don't act like kids fighting over candy."

Kate D: Are you busy, Jane? Mommy wants to meet. Can you?The message came in a day ago, but Jane couldn't give a definite answer to when they could meet. Despite that, a part of Jane's heart misses the gentle-hearted middle-aged woman. There are many things she can exchange because Jane considers Kate like her own mother. Their last meeting made Jane feel a pang of pain hearing what Kate shared with her.Even though Kate didn't shed a single tear, her sadness couldn't disappear from her usually serene and warm gaze. Unfortunately, there was nothing Jane could do to alleviate Kate's sorrow even a bit. Jane wasn't sure if the distress had diminished or if it had intentionally disappeared without resolution.Nevertheless, Jane had no right to inquire further. All she could do was offer encouragement and ask the woman to be even more patient."Are you daydreaming, Olive?" Nico asks while handing her a water bottle, which immediately makes Jane cringe a bit.

Nothing is more delightful in Jane's mind than seeing and witnessing for herself how the person she respects and admires looks happily devouring her dish. Even countless praises have slipped from her lips adorned with maroon lipstick. The appearance of the middle-aged woman hasn't changed much since the last time they met. However, Jane can't hide one thing; Kate seems restless, thinking about something.But Jane doesn't want to get too involved. She's just an outsider and will always be that way. There's no more connection between the two of them. Jane gladly accepts Kate's visit as a form of hope; don't sever their relationship. Even though Jane no longer carries the name Don William."You're truly skilled in the kitchen, Darling." Kate smiles widely, wiping the corners of her lips with the available napkin. "I enjoy every bite you serve.""I feel happy and grateful that Mommy still likes my cooking."Kate pouts annoyed. "You know, I often miss your hom

"Can't you get rid of that wrinkle on your face, Olive?" Fabian asks, still with his comical laughter. His hands skillfully handle the steering wheel. Occasionally, he observes the not-too-crowded road ahead. Perhaps it's because it's not yet a crucial hour, so he can still drive freely."How can I be calm when the madness begins?"Fabian bursts into laughter for the umpteenth time. "You're truly entertaining, Olive. Your sister's attitude makes the atmosphere lively.""You do have weird taste." Jane folds her arms, takes a deep breath, but can't do anything but follow what Fabian asks.The arrival of this man is not without reason. A cup of coffee that Jane made and a hint to end his visit promptly ended up trapping Jane inside Fabian's car. Complete with a suitcase containing his equipment for attending the SEO boutique inauguration on Long Island."I didn't expect you to be familiar with Mommy," Jane says after trying to normalize her emotions.

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
