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

Calysta swallowed nervously. Her eyes could not look anywhere but at her husband. The look in her husband's eyes was not as warm as usual. Moreover, in the man's hand, there were still pieces of goods that were produced from Goojoo's factory. Calysta had no idea that the goods Goojoo produced had hidden stamps in unreachable parts.Meanwhile, Theo, the factory manager was just as pale as Calysta."It's just a model, sir," Theo said, trying to break the ice. He took the fragment, picked it up and put it together with the one in Austin's hand. Luckily the man didn't brush off what Theo was doing.Where the gap was used by Calysta to get closer, clinging spoiled and slightly pushing her husband's body to sit down. But the look in his eyes still didn't want to drop its intimidation. Calysta was actually still filled with fear but she had to escape this matter from Austin's observation.How unlucky that her uncle didn't dispose of the goods taken from the carg

"Are you sure you don't want to come home with me?" asked Austin once again. After wandering around and acting a bit in front of his wife, they headed to Marcel's residence. Warmly welcomed by Marcel's wife who was none other than Calysta's aunt. Austin only met her at their wedding a few months ago.After that, maybe because Austin was busy and Calysta didn't talk about them too often.Marrisa, Calysta's aunt's name interrupted Austin's speech before the man actually left. "Don't you want to spend the night here? I'd love to have you visit. Unfortunately, my husband has to meet a client."Austin smiled slightly. "I still have a lot to do tomorrow." Then his eyes returned to Calysta who looked sad. "At eight the driver will pick you up and take you to your office immediately, Calysta. Get some rest if you don't want to go home.""I miss Aunt Marrisa," Calysta said as she clung to and leaned slightly on the middle-aged woman's arm. Calysta's attitude made

He was indeed tired. Today's journey was a round trip, where he did not allow a moment to take a pause just to close his eyes to reduce fatigue. He was racing against time as well as his goal. Don't let all the plans that have been arranged in his head, fall apart."Mom?" asked Austin in surprise. As he stepped into the house, his mother was still awake. Sitting quietly accompanied by Maria and a cup of tea and some snacks. "You're not asleep yet?"Kate looked up and smiled slightly. "Couldn't sleep." She patted the couch at her side. "Sit down. Let Maria make you some tea."Austin took a hesitant step. In the past few months, his communication and the way he treated his mother had been poor. He realized that. He did it all because he wanted to make Calysta comfortable while living with him here. Calysta's status was no longer that of an illicit lover, but that of his chosen wife. Which the mother should have appreciated, right?But now?"What's ke

"How was the briefing yesterday?" asked Austin without slowing down his wide stride towards the room where he worked. At ten o'clock this morning, there were many things to discuss with Richard. And before the time came, he had to finalize a few things first."It went well, sir." Jacob said excitedly. "All the things discussed with the production and marketing teams have gone off without a hitch.""What about the model? No objections?"Jacob shook his head immediately. Although his boss did not see it firsthand, it did not matter to the man who was excited this morning. Though the odner of reports he had to work on was not small which took up his time and energy. But talking about what happened yesterday, he had plenty of energy. "Mrs. Jane is fine with the concept we want." Jacob continued to follow Austin's big steps which did not slow down at all. It was as if he was on a time crunch with so many things to catch up on. Jacob tried not to fall behind."
