As Jane could guess, the inauguration event went smoothly. There were no hitches with any of the showcased collections. The fan meet-up and the event with journalists concluded as planned. And now, they welcome the arrival of the banquet night.
"I actually miss my bed," Ursula complains. She already has a can of potato chips that Brina brought a moment before the woman disappeared with Nico. They have to meet someone in the lobby, supposedly related to one of the famous magazines in the Northern Region.
The sound of Ursula starting to crunch her chips is heard. Not many guests have arrived yet. The four of them are on the third floor, where they can see the entire activity on the ground floor. Besides waiting for the event, their presence is also used by some SEO juniors to get to know Fabian's colleagues. Building business relations has its benefits, even if it's just small talk.
"Not just you, Sula." Harvey leans comfortably. "I'm sure tonight's dinner will be

"At twelve o'clock, sitting with the bourgeoisie," says Giselle with a smile, waving slightly towards the opposite crowd. The statement is immediately responded to by Harvey and Jane, focusing on what Giselle said."Oh my gosh, I'm really disgusted looking at her."Giselle chuckles. "We have to get used to her now. If she's with Kate Don William, it means she could easily become a loyal SEO customer. You know what that means? She won't hesitate to be in the middle of us."Harvey grumbles again. At the same time, a waiter approaches the three of them."Miss Olive," he calls half-whispering. "You're requested at Mrs. Kate's table over there.""Thank you," says Jane. The waiter is left alone. "I think it's time to meet Calysta.""You're right." Giselle smiles broadly. "That woman is waving at me.""Where's Ursula?" Harvey asks while scanning the area. "I need to be with her so I won't say rude words."Jane giggles. "You don't need

"I didn't expect everyone to gather here," Fabian says as he approaches the table where the four main pillars of SEO are also present. No, his words are not for the four of them but for the guests surrounding them.SEO's loyal customers. Their desires are many, but they never ask Fabian for just a little when it comes to making dresses or outfits for special events. Fabian has long recognized their faces, and, if he may say, SEO always receives full support from all of them. That's why Fabian also makes a serious impact in appreciating loyal customers."You're too busy chatting with others, Young Man," Danisa grumbles with a disapproving tone. "Have you met my husband? Usually, he's with the police and tax officials.""Yes, Ma'am." Fabian laughs, briefly approaching the displeased-looking woman. He extends his hand as a form of apology, and when it's received, Fabian gives a quick peck on the back of her hand."You're too good at charming." Finally, Danis

"Do I have to congratulate you too?" Jane asks casually, leaning back. She adjusts the chair she's sitting in to make her back a little more comfortable."No," Fabian laughs. "I've been getting that congratulations since two days ago.""Your event is quite successful for the opening of this branch." Jane smiles faintly. "Compared to when you opened a branch in Hills Flower, I think the public's interest is more towards Long Island.""You should understand that Long Island is not just a stop before entering other cities in this Western part."Jane understands that. Long Island is also known as a tourist destination with many unique and interesting attractions. This makes tourists always decide to stop for a while and enjoy the day here.Although not a fashion center like in other big cities, Jane believes that Fabian has his own calculations for why the SEO boutique is here. Looking at the collection sold specifically in Long Island, it's somewhat d

"Should I congratulate you too, huh?" Jane asks, leaning back. She adjusts the chair she's sitting on to make her back a little more comfortable."Nah," Fabian laughs. "I've been getting those wishes since two days ago.""Your event was quite a success for the opening of this branch," Jane smiles thinly. "Compared to when you opened the branch in Hills Flower, I think the community's more into Long Island.""You should understand Long Island isn't just a stopover before entering other cities in the West," Fabian remarks.Jane gets it. Long Island is also known as a tourist destination with lots of unique and interesting attractions. That's why tourists always decide to stop by and enjoy their day here.

Calysta waves her hand over her face. Repeating it again. Just to get rid of the heat and anger that's been haunting her. The feeling doesn't diminish even though she's tried to divert it."Damn it!" Calysta throws the glass she used to enjoy her favorite wine. This is the third glass, but her anger still hasn't subsided. Making her engulfed in an edgeless irritation. "Watch out, Jane!"She breathes heavily out of emotion. "And you too, Giselle. Especially you, Kate!" She clenches her fists. "Damn it! Damn it!"She then collapses onto the soft couch available. Leaning back while supporting her head there and letting her eyes stare at the ceiling of the room. The shadow of the dinner earlier comes back. Especially when the words of a Jane Oliver, made anyone at the table silenced."Don't you think? When your marriage spread throughout the country, where previously Austin had just divorced his unworthy wife, didn't your status become a question? Were you pr

"You're not sleeping yet, Sula."Ursula scowls in annoyance. The man she's been waiting for finally appears at the door. His face looks tired but the mischief in his eyes is still there. Even so, Ursula is very relieved and actually very happy to see him. At the dinner party earlier, they couldn't really chat freely."You took too long, Rich. Does your boss really can't handle his own work?" She covers the joy in her heart with harsh words."Don't you want to ask me in first? I've been struggling with numbers and endless reports," Richard complains with his shoulders slumping weakly. Intentionally. Baiting Ursula with a mournful face is his specialty."You're exaggerating." But then, Ursula opens her room door wide. "Come in. I didn't make coffee if that's what you want right now."Richard chuckles. "No. I need to sleep early. What time is our flight?""Are you really able to take time off?" Ursula asks, surprised. "I'm not doubting you, but

The journey back from Long Island, for some reason, makes Kate's smile not want to leave. Even though she only met Jane during the dinner, at least she made sure firsthand what the woman was up to. And how those around Jane accepted her. Kate is truly grateful for what happened.She doesn't care much about Calysta. Her son's new fiancée is just following for the sake of profit. And sure enough, Calysta really took advantage of that position perfectly, even though... ah, if Kate could laugh freely, she might have done it since the dinner.Jane is starting to show her fangs."You look happy, Mrs.," one of the guards says. After making sure the lady is comfortably seated in the car picking her up at the airport. He's tasked with accompanying the great Don William's wife while she's away from her home."Yes, you're right," Kate smiles thinly. "I'm feeling happy."The car speeds through the road towards the airport exit. Heading straight to her r

"I've talked to the journalist you're supposed to meet," Hans says after placing his report on Fabian's desk. After yesterday's inauguration event, almost all layers of the SEO staff were at their busiest. There was a lot to be done, especially in the marketing and publicity division. Two big SEO events that were almost back-to-back significantly contributed to increasing sales turnover.Hans has been overtime countless times due to the workload and emails from Fabian."When can I meet them?" the boss asks without looking at his interlocutor. His hands and eyes are busy examining and reading the report that Irena sent via email."In a week. I've also heard about their reputation; they're very good at twisting facts."Fabian's hand movement stops briefly. Then a chuckle escapes uncontrollably. "Isn't that good?""Um, but, Boss, I think you also need to know one thing. He's too extreme in writing news. Many say he's an ambitious journalist who wants
