Austin just chuckled. "You got this apartment as a bonus from me, in case you forgot."
"Gosh, I just found out that a gift that happened a long time ago can be brought up so easily." Richard stared at his interlocutor in disbelief. "I devoted myself and worked my heart out but was always appreciated like this?"
"Don't be so silly, Rich. I don't have much time."
Richard's laughter immediately erupted. "Since when did Don Austin William have a time limit?"
Indeed, talking to Richard at a time like this was a bad thing. Rather than force the man to talk, especially since he had just arrived, it would be unethical to push too hard.
"While you're reading this report, I'd better get cleaned up. And afterward, we do need to have an important discussion and you should know what I found out while checking out their co

"Would you like me to make you some coffee, sir?" she asked with a bow. The lord of this house's late return home surprised her. Ever since the master got married, he rarely came home late. He was always on time and made time for dinner. Although the kind of dinner that made Maria feel, was only a formality.The conversation that took place there was only dominated by the new mistress in Don William's family. Responded with a warm and loving smile from the master. Ignoring the middle-aged woman who spoke more often than necessary rather than responding to whatever the woman said. In contrast, when their old mistress interacted either at dinner, or just to pass the time.Although the old mistress... was never acknowledged by the master, but at least, there was still warmth and cheerfulness around them."You're not asleep yet, Maria?"To the butler, Austin's tone was just like the time when he knew the man with a warm personality despite being stiff and qui

"How is it, Uncle?"Calysta seemed to close her mouth. Her face lit up brightly. She twisted her body slightly in the well-organized room with many clothes and accessories. Including the luxurious bags and shoes that made up the woman's collection."Take it easy. Austin is busy with the deal in Milan. I admit he's very good at negotiating. But you don't have to worry, we'll drop him at the right time."...""Just prepare what even though it's prepared. There are no more Goojoo people watching, right?""...""That's good. Because I've already prepared the necessary files. I had Aunt Samantha's help. You know, that woman is just as sneaky." Calysta sat back comfortably. "I understand. I'll still be careful.""...""You're right." Calysta looked up briefly. Her eyes wandered far away. "That man loves me too much to have any suspicions about my actions.""...""Ah, you're right. My marriage is about to take place. I d

"I think the concept of the ad is pretty clear," Fabian said as he handed over a sheet outlining what would be done during the ad. Together with the creative team from Goojoo as well as some of the people who would be involved, they were still in a long but exciting discussion about the work this time."I agree with you." Jane smiled slightly. Imagining how it would be as long as she was involved in this work. "But I've told you many times, I'm not good at acting.""Take it easy, Nyo-I mean Miss Jane." Jacob spoke this time, though it was a bit awkward but he quickly shook it off and smiled broadly at the woman who had been sitting across from him. "We're sure you'll do your best.""You have high hopes for me, Mr. Jacob."Jacob's smile refused to fade. "I hope that we can achieve our targets. And I also hope this job goes smoothly."The discussion returned to a fairly serious mode although sometimes interspersed with jokes but according to Jane, th

Inside the restaurant where she had made her appointment with Fabian, as usual, the most privacy was chosen. She knew who she was dealing with. He had already lost, he didn't want to do much, because he knew who would be affected first.His steps paced back and forth in the room where the large table was already filled with food. There was no dish that was not appetizing. Everything he wanted to devour but couldn't. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his heart was still not at ease before the conversation between him and Fabian took place.Not long after, there was a knock on the door. He breathed a sigh of relief. "Sir," he greeted immediately. In less than a split second, his gaze immediately lowered. Not out of fear but Fabian's intimidating aura really made his guts shrink."Don't waste my time, Geno." Fabian entered the room just now and immediately pulled out one of the chairs. "Please, Olive," he said in a soft tone. "Um... I think Geno wants to party.

"I thought you were just joking about asking me to visit Uncle Marcel." Calysta sat quietly. The car driven by her husband was traveling at a steady pace along the freeway chosen to shorten the time to get there."When have I ever gone back on my word, Calysta?" Austin smiled slightly.I don't know how many times Calysta's cell phone rang but she only glanced at the name that appeared on the screen. She had no intention of picking up not because she didn't want to, but the conversation that was about to take place could bring her trouble. After all, why did Austin suddenly invite her to visit him?"Why don't you respond? I have no problem driving without you, Calysta." Austin rubbed the top of his wife's head briefly. "Just in case it's important.""Nothing." Calysta smiled slightly. "Naturally, other employees needed my presence this morning. But I've already spoken to Aunt Samantha about my absence today."Austin nodded briefly. "Seems like I've

"But, darling," Calysta said before deciding to actually follow her husband's wishes, something suddenly stuck. It had been there all along but she had been holding back."What's wrong?" asked Austin without losing his concentration."I feel like you've been distant today." Calysta sulked a little. Her tone was spoiled and she gazed wistfully at the man by her side. Slightly clinging to Austin's arm while trying not to disturb him from controlling the steering wheel."Far away?" asked Austin with a frown on his forehead. "I'm right here, Calysta.""Even I realized that my nickname changed." Calysta frowned in displeasure. "Something bothering you?"Austin glanced at his wife's figure who was still faithfully clinging to his arm. Usually Austin didn't mind and was even happy with Calysta's attitude like this. As if he was very useful to her. Needed and able to protect Calysta.In the past.I don't know if now. maybe he still doesn't re

"Where are we going?" asked Jane after getting comfortable in her seat. Mery began to move away from the restaurant area where they had met and talked with Geno. Although there was still a hint of disbelief, Jane tried to brush it off.Fabian seemed to trust the man with glasses. Jane shouldn't have doubted him, right?"Confidential," Fabian said in a half-whisper. "Enjoy your trip, Olive."Jane chuckled, but her hands skillfully selected the playlist to be played. She was often with Fabian in this car, so she was more or less given the freedom to do anything including tinkering with the playlist Fabian had."Did we take a long trip?""I think so." Fabian also glanced at Jane who was still busy with her activities. "Do you mind?""No, I don't. It's just that I was thinking, it's already late afternoon. If we go somewhere quite far from the city center, won't our return be even later?""Do you have an appointment tomorrow?"Jane

What did he say? Tired? Where did those words come from?"You always shy away from the things I do for you." He stroked Jane's lips that still felt warm and moist very slowly. The tip of Fabian's thumb deliberately lingered there while slightly opening the slit. Right above those seductively plump lips, Justi again said so softly. "Do I need to kiss you again to get the answer?"There was only a thinning distance, but Jane still managed to keep herself from getting carried away. Turning her face slowly not for rejection but so that they could talk first. "I'm not tired, Fabian."Fabian knew it was not a rejection. His smile was still there as his hand slipped through each of Jane's fingers. "Come on, shall we walk along the beach? It's not often that we get to enjoy such a calm atmosphere.""Somehow I suspect something." Jane glanced at the grip of their hands now. No. It wasn't that she didn't want to reciprocate, but there was still a little doubt in he

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
