"Do I need to ask for a new menu?" Fabian asks while chewing a piece of sushi on the table. Everything that the man who left them half an hour ago was enjoying has been replaced with a new menu. Even Jane's, although she didn't need to change her order.
"Doesn't feel right to enjoy cold ramen," Fabian says.
Because of that, there's nothing Jane can do but comply. Even though they've changed to a new menu, the hunger and desire to enjoy it all have vanished. Jane has many questions in her mind about what really happened. How did that annoying guy get so much information? Especially about Giselle.
"No," Jane says, trying to salvage what's left of her appetite.
"After you finish your dinner, you can ask me anything, and I'll answer," Fabian says with a thin smile. "I didn't expect that guy to be so annoying," he grumbles. "Anyway, let's not dwell on him. My appetite can really disappear."
Jane smiles faintly, "I guess I'll have to try hard to eat it."

After what happened, could Jane sleep soundly? No way! Instead, her eyelids become restless. "What kind of guy am I involved with?" she asks herself while sitting on the edge of the bed. The atmosphere tonight is very calm, only the sound of nocturnal animals is faintly heard in the distance."I think I need some tea." Although reluctant, Jane starts moving her body towards the kitchen. All the conversations at the Japanese restaurant earlier come back. Not just about that weird journalist, but also about how Fabian turned the situation around. Not to mention Fabian's knowledge about things she used to have. It's no wonder Jane is being much more cautious than usual."Who are you really?" Jane asks after she manages to control herself. The car Fabian is driving moves at a normal speed. Music plays softly while Fabian occasionally follows its rhythm."Me?" Fabian turns with many wrinkles on his forehead. "Do I need to reintroduce myself?"Jane sighs in fru

Giselle laughs cheerfully, while Harvey frowns and taps his foot in annoyance. The chore of washing dishes is far from him. Although Jane has forbidden them to meddle in kitchen affairs, they would never deign to heed her.They chime in together, "Our bellies are full, so washing dishes isn't a big deal." But afterward, they argue about who will tackle the pile of dishes over there."Oh yeah, Olive, I brought your dress. I also brought the jewelry box. I think it's better if we coordinate our colors," says Giselle as she grabs her mug of hot chocolate. "Breakfast this morning is absolutely fantastic. When was the last time you failed to satisfy us with food?"Jane just shakes her head in wonder. "Honestly, I'm not good at cooking. I just took a course with one of the chefs from the Sandrianna hotel.""You're really making the most of your training, huh?"Jane's smile is barely there. "I'm glad my skills are finally useful.""We're happy our

"I refuse," says Jane, crossing her arms. Although her body leans comfortably on the sofa layered with thin wool, her gaze is sharp as she faces her interlocutor."I knew you'd say that." The man in front of her laughs. "But, Olive," he casually takes out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it immediately and taking a slow drag, exhaling the smoke. Regardless of the lounge in the hotel now appearing full of smoke. "You can't easily refuse this.""The compensation issue? I think Brina can tell you how much money I've gathered."Fabian laughs even more. "Oh my, our supermodel can boast now."Jane rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Come on, this isn't a small matter, Fabian. I don't want to be associated with Goojoo again.""I understand that very well, Olive." This time, Fabian puts his cigarette in the ashtray. Letting the butt burn itself out. He really needs to talk seriously about this. "Ursula doesn't want to continue the collaboration. Rumors swir

Calysta feels a bit weird about Kate's departure this time. The woman looks happy and even smiled at her during breakfast. But ever since she moved in, Kate has always been antagonistic and avoided conversations with her."Is something bothering you?" Austin asks, now seated at his spot. The dinner table is filled with tonight's offerings."No, nothing," says Calysta with a sweet smile. She quickly fetches a few dishes for her husband, occasionally asking if Austin's portion is enough for tonight. Once satisfied, they eat peacefully. Not much is said, but Calysta's mind is filled with many questions, especially about Kate's change in behavior."You're not listening to me, Honey?" Austin asks, wiping the corner of his lips. He intentionally made his portion small this time. Not because he's not hungry, but because his work isn't a hundred percent done yet. Usually, he doesn't bring work home. But lately, there have been enough complaints to give him a headache.

Jane settles comfortably on the long sofa right by the large glass window. The view she can enjoy is of Yazeran at night. The first time she came to this place, partly sandy and the heat was enough to limit her movements, Jane fell in love. With the ethnic lines on clothing and ornaments found in almost every public building there.And because of that, most of the souvenirs from Yazeran in her hands are woven cloth, each with its own characteristics as a marker that the fabric is a souvenir from the desert region.

"Thanks for helping out," Kate says with a slight smile. "And your homemade cookies are getting better."Danisa pouts. "I even went out of my way to dive straight into the kitchen. Why does it still feel like something's missing?" But then she laughs. "Guess the kitchen just isn't my forte.""You're right," Kate says, immersed in the laughter created by her friend. "Send my regards to Jane. Who knows when we'll get to enjoy her dishes."Kate gently rubs Danisa's shoulder. "You're not alone in feeling that way, Danisa. I feel the same.""Especially you, Kate," Danisa says with a thin smile. "Are you really okay with everything that's happened? You know, not talking to you somewhat tortures me. That woman is way out of line treating her own mother-in-law like that.""I never considered her as a member of the Don William family," Kate chuckles. "Don't worry, I can still hold my own. As long as my silence is seen as foolishness and helplessness in Caly
