Isa smiled happily at all the dishes on the dining table this time. No need to bother cooking in the kitchen, she just ordered from Rick's favorite restaurant. After all, he didn't complain much about the food on the table. He devoured everything with praise, if she served him well.

Unfortunately...

“Ugh! In her big house, I'm sure I won't be able to do things this easily.” Isa pursed her lips in annoyance. ‘But it doesn't matter.’ Her lips formed a wide smile. ”I can do whatever I want. Besides, a lady of the house isn't needed in the kitchen. She just has to tell the servants to make whatever she wants.” Isa clapped her hands in support of her recent thought.

“My wedding is in two weeks. The preparations are going smoothly and there are no problems.” She was so happy that she circled the dining table. Her eyes sparkled with excitement. ”Ah, I can't wait to move into that house.”

Though Marguerite Langley's face suddenly flashed before his eyes, a sly grin quickly appeared to dispel

    Isa stirred slightly, slowly pushing away the muscular arm of the man sleeping soundly beside her. From every angle, she admired how God had created Roderick Langley. Her heart was still the same as when they first met and finally fell in love. But now, she wanted more than just to be loved. She wanted everything the man had.Including his wealth.After taking the name Langley, Isa was sure it would be easier to control Rick from within. Just showing a guilty face, fake tears, and stuttering lips saying what she didn't know even though it had been carefully prepared, the man was so easy to believe. In fact, if Isa could be honest, Rick was completely under her spell.“Sweet dreams, darling,” she said, gently stroking Rick's head. She then moved slowly to avoid disturbing his sleep, lulled by his dreams. She had to carry out the next part of her plan.She walked confidently to the changing room, opening the large wardrobe where there was a hidden drawer. She took out another phone she

    Isa placed her phone down rather roughly. Her hands immediately clasped together in frustration, and she glared around her angrily. She sighed repeatedly, but whatever was bothering her did not go away. “Why did Auntie show me this?”Samantha, who was just enjoying her latte, gave a faint smile. She set down her cup and smiled meaningfully. “It means you still don't have the same influence as they do, Isa.”“What do you mean?” Isa straightened her back slightly.“You know, Isa.” Samantha wasn't enjoying the anger directed at the woman in front of her. She had come to see her this afternoon to discuss some news she had just heard. The opening of the SEO branch in Long Island was attended by many celebrities and influential people in the country, including the wives of businessmen who had names and SEO customers spread across the country.However, Isa hadn't received an invitation. If Samantha were to judge, wasn't Isa one of the top SEO models' friends? Isa had said so herself, which h

    “I'm not disturbing your rest, am I, Eve?“ asked Giselle, looking at Eva standing beside her. They were already in the elevator going down to the lobby.“No. You don't need to worry.” Eva laughed. “Besides, I can't fall asleep right away when my body is too tired.”“Thank goodness.” Giselle sighed in relief. “I was afraid I was disturbing you.”As the elevator stopped, the doors opened automatically, and Giselle led the way. The hotel lobby wasn't as crowded as when they had arrived earlier. Perhaps because it was getting late and many guests had already retired to their rooms.The coffee shop Giselle had mentioned looked quite promising from the outside. Eva hadn't paid much attention when they arrived at the lobby, probably because she was too tired to think of anything but collapsing in her room. Straightening her back and letting go of all the fatigue in her body. The dominant black and brown colors of the exterior walls and the decorative ornaments around the shop looked beautifu

    As Eva had expected, the opening ceremony went smoothly. All the collections on display were flawless. The fan meet and greet and the press conference ended as planned. And now, they were welcoming the arrival of the evening banquet.“Actually, I miss my bed,” Ursula complained. In her hand was a can of potato chips brought by Brina just before the woman disappeared with Nico. They had someone to meet in the lobby. Apparently, it was related to one of the famous magazines in the Northern Region.The sound of Ursula chewing her chips could be heard. Not many invited guests had arrived yet. The four of them were on the third floor, where they could see all the activities on the ground floor. While waiting for the event to begin, some of the junior SEO staff used the opportunity to introduce themselves to Max's colleagues. There was some benefit to building business relationships, even if it was just small talk.“It's not just you, Sula.” Harvey leaned back comfortably. ‘I'm sure tonight

    “I didn't expect everyone to be here,” said Max as he approached the table where the four main pillars of SEO were also sitting. No, he wasn't talking about them, but about the guests surrounding them.SEO's loyal customers. They always had many requests, but never asked for anything less than the best when they asked Max to make dresses or outfits for special occasions. Max had known their faces for a long time, and if he could say so, SEO always received full support from them all. That's why Max also made a significant impact when it came to valuing loyal customers.“You're too busy chatting with others, Young Man,” Danisa scolded with a displeased frown. ”Have you met my husband? He's usually with the police and tax officials.”“I have, Ma'am.” Max laughed. He approached the woman who was glaring at him, extended his hand as a sign of apology, and when she accepted it, he gave her a quick kiss on the back of her hand.“You're too good at flirting.” Finally, Danisa turned away with

    “Should I congratulate you too?“ Eva asked, leaning back. She adjusted her chair to make her back more comfortable.“No,” Max laughed. “I've had enough of that since two days ago.”“Your opening ceremony was quite a success.” Eva smiled slightly. “Compared to when you opened the branch in Hills Flower, I think the public's interest is more focused on LongIsland.”“You should understand that LongIsland isn't just a stopover before entering other cities in this western part of the country.”Eva understood that. LongIsland is also known as a tourist destination with many unique and attractive attractions. This is what makes tourists always decide to stop by and enjoy the day here.Though it's not a fashion hub like other major cities, Eva was sure Max had his own reasons for placing the boutique here. Looking at the collection sold exclusively in LongIsland, the prices were slightly different. Max didn't compromise on quality, but for the outlet in LongIsland, the designs were much simpl

    Isa waved his hand in front of his face. Again and again. Just to get rid of the heat and anger that was overwhelming him. The feeling didn't subside even though he tried to distract himself.“Damn it!“ Isa threw the glass he had been using to enjoy his favorite wine. It was the third glass, but his anger hadn't subsided either. It made him feel endless irritation. ‘Watch out, Eva!”He was breathing heavily because he was so emotional. ’And you too, Giselle. Especially you, Rita!” He clenched his fists. “Damn it! Damn it!”He collapsed onto the soft sofa. He leaned back, resting his head there and letting his eyes stare at the ceiling. Images of the banquet flashed before his eyes. Especially when Evangeline Rutherford spoke, causing everyone at the table to fall silent.“Don't you think? When your marriage is broadcast across the entire country, especially after Rick recently divorced the woman you called unworthy, doesn't your status become a question? Were you two an adulterous cou

    “You're not asleep yet, Sula.”Ursula sneered in annoyance. The man she had been waiting for finally appeared at the door. His face looked tired, but his mischievous grin was still there. Even so, Ursula was very relieved and actually very happy to see him. At the banquet earlier, how could they have chatted freely?“You took too long, Rich. Can't your boss finish his own work?“ She hid her joy with harsh words.“Don't you want me to come in first? I'm tired of dealing with numbers and endless reports,” Gustav complained, slumping his shoulders. It was intentional. Provoking Ursula with a sad face was his specialty.“You're being dramatic.“ But then, Ursula's door swung open. ‘Come in. I didn't make coffee if that's what you want.”Gustav chuckled. ’No. I need to sleep. What time is our flight?”“Are you really taking time off?” Ursula asked in surprise. “It's not that I don't believe you, but your boss is a workaholic psychopath.”Gustav laughed even harder. “I can, Sula.

    “You don't need to complain like that, Isa,” Samantha laughed in response to all the chatter from the woman she could rely on. She didn't expect Isa's move to be so smooth and flawless, and that it had been carefully considered. She placed the cup of tea she had made especially for the woman in front of her. ”Drink this so you can calm down.”“How can I calm down?” Isa sighed irritably. ‘I believed I could influence Ursula. But it turns out she's just like Giselle. I have to retaliate for what Ursula did to me yesterday.”Samantha laughed. ’Do you really want to be friends with them?”Isa sighed softly. “You know that if I'm in their group, I can have much more influence. What's the point of that if not to enjoy it together?”The woman who owned Sams Group laughed even harder. ”You really take advantage of everything within your grasp, don't you? You've really thought through what you want to do.”Isa grinned. She slowly sipped the tea made especially for her. “I should have done this

    “Why do you look upset, Isa?“ Rick asked, glancing at the woman sitting next to him. Since the press conference, which he had also attended, his wife had only smiled slightly and said little.“I don't know,” Isa sighed deeply. “Maybe I'm tired because work at Sams is quite demanding.”Rick furrowed his brow, a bit surprised by Isa's words. “You've only been working for two days. And I think you've been out of the office since lunch today.”The woman chuckled. ”You're right. I intentionally took some time off to pick up Ursula because I felt she's been helping us a lot at Unique, right?”Rick nodded.“But if this latest choice is really the best, I think we should welcome Eva properly.”Rick chose not to speak. He focused on the road ahead, which was no longer as empty as usual. The crucial hour had trapped them in traffic, and they had to be patient to reach their destination: Dominique's residence.“Are you happy to meet Eva, dear?”The man glanced at her with a sneer. “What do you m

    “Are they here yet?” asked Rick, checking the watch on his left wrist. It had been almost an hour since Max had confirmed their arrival time.“Just a moment, sir. Their car has entered the lobby and is being directed to the upper floor to avoid the reporters. They are all after a story about Miss Eva.”Rick quickened his pace toward the meeting room. At least he had to entertain the guests properly; he couldn't afford to tarnish his image further. And he couldn't afford to lose focus either.“Mrs. Isa is also on her way to the office, sir.”Rick's steps slowed. “For what?”“She wants to meet Unique's new icon. It seems like Mrs. Isa is giving her full attention to sales. I've seen her discussing things with Mr. Jacob a lot over the past few days. With Mrs. Samantha, of course.”Rick chose to keep that information to himself and wait for the right time to talk to his wife. Since the investor in Milan had caused problems, his concentration had been quite disturbed. He didn't have much t

    Rick's anger was pent up, his hands clenched, and he had cursed countless times, but the result was still the same. It wasn't getting done quickly. Indeed, checking several parts took time. But still, as long as Unique was in his hands, and as long as he was under his father's supervision, there had never been a problem like this before.To make matters worse, there was the new project he had recently been assigned. He had already warned the staff involved to focus more, as the production target was far higher than the previous year. There was trust, but also hard work to prove they could deliver.“No word from Gustav yet?” Rick asked, sitting down roughly in his chair. It had been two days since the bad news reached him via email. He couldn't take it lightly at that time. He immediately took action, one of which was to ask Gustav to check it out directly.He didn't know what his trusted employee was doing in Jazeran, but what was clear was that the distance between Milan and Jazeran

    “How's it going?” Samantha asked, a little excited. They were enjoying some time together during what was actually a pretty busy day. But for Samantha, being here with her favorite cup of coffee and some snacks to go with it was no problem. After all, Sams Group had started to take off since the woman in front of her got involved.That's also why Samantha wasn't going to let go of the woman who was now part of her family.“I've already tried to convince Rick,” Isa sighed softly. ‘But it seems like my persuasion isn't working yet. He just said he'd think about it.”“Did you give him the most convincing reason?’ Samantha asked with a soft laugh. ”Usually, when you give that reason, a man as stubborn as Rick can't resist it.”“I did.” Isa's shoulders slumped weakly. ‘But it's okay. I'll wait patiently for his decision. I'm sure he won't be able to refuse me easily.”Samantha nodded confidently. ’No problem. I would be helped if I had an assistant, but since this position is meant for you

    “According to sources that Mommy can trust, there is indeed a bit of debate regarding the marketing that has been going on. Although some of Unique's top brass know who you are, Eva, because this is outside of Unique, you are considered someone who works where you can bring them certain benefits.”Rita's explanation to Eva and Max made sense.“But this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it?” Eva asked, sighing softly. ”Maybe if they were targeting Giselle or Harvey, I wouldn't be so suspicious.”Rita nodded, understanding the concerns of the woman in front of her. When the car carrying them stopped at one of the tall buildings in the center of Yazeran, the person Rita didn't want to see greeted them. With a mischievous grin and an overly casual demeanor.Despite knowing him for quite some time, the memory of their conversation that night—when they had accidentally met at Eva's house—still made Rita's heart race with irritation. And that irritation only grew as the man's childish beha

    “Thank you for helping me,” said Rita with a slight smile. ”And your cookies are getting better and better.”Danisa pouted. “I went to all that trouble to go straight to the kitchen. Why does it still feel like something's missing?” But then she laughed. “I guess the kitchen just isn't my thing.”“You're right.” Rita laughed along with her friend. “Tell Eva I said hi. I wonder when we'll get to try her cooking.”Rita gently rubbed Danisa's shoulder. “You're not the only one who feels that way, Danisa. I feel the same.”“Especially you, Rita.” Danisa smiled faintly. “Are you really okay with what happened? You know, not talking to you has been torturous for me. That woman really went too far in how she treated her own mother-in-law.”“I never considered her part of the Dominique family.” Rita giggled. ‘Don't worry, I can still hold myself together. As long as my silence is seen as stupidity and helplessness in Isa's eyes, I don't mind. Just know that I consider you more than a friend.”

    Eva sat comfortably on the long sofa right next to the large glass window. The view she could enjoy was of Yazeran at night. The first time she came to this partly sandy and quite hot place, Eva fell in love. She was captivated by the ethnic patterns on the clothing and the ornaments found on almost every public building there.And because of that, most of the souvenirs she brought back from Yazeran were woven fabrics with unique characteristics, serving as a sign that the fabric was a souvenir from that desert region. Under Giselle's creative hands, the fabric became a comfortable dress that made Eva feel close to Yazeran.That dress was also what she wore for dinner with Max this time. It wasn't unusual for Eva to hear compliments from the man. And his annoying behavior, almost to the point of being infuriating, but Eva couldn't just brush him off. There was always something he did to make Eva end up under his control again.Including now. Where Eva was staying in the famous Paradis
