2024-10-29 19:42:56"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."

"Prepare yourself, we're going to Milan tonight."It was a good thing Richard had swallowed his coffee. Otherwise, he might have spewed the contents of his mouth right into Austin's face. But he really wanted to be able to do that, anyway. Once in a while shouldn't be a problem considering how much work he had to do for Goojoo and this stupid guy."You're crazy!" snapped Richard in disgust. "I have a date with Ursula tomorrow. I released her today because she wanted to be with Mrs. Jane. You know, he never wants to miss out on the fun with your ex-wife.""Can you not bring that woman's name up here?"Richard grumbled in annoyance. "You don't want me to say her name, but you need her help. Think with a sane head, Austin."The man sitting in front of Richard chose to read the report submitted just now. Most of them contained the bills of lading and evidence of the exchange that took place at the port. In the absence of this evidence, they could do no

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
