The beauty of Beras Basah Island was not Adam's main goal. He sat in a summerhouse not far from where Bianca was. While he was busy speculating, his phone rang. Mrs. Wursita called and he asked why he did not immediately return to Jakarta as planned.
"I still have things to do, Mom," Adam answered his mother's question.
[Can it be left? Or represent? I have a thing more important for you to do] Mrs. Wursita's voice sounded serious and did not want to be debated.
Adam swallowed his spit, then asked. "What is it, Mom?"
[Your aunt and uncle invited us to dinner tomorrow] Mrs. Wursita answered.
"Dinner? What's the occasion?"
[I don't know. Maybe it has to do with Desmon's already got a girlfriend]
"Ah. Perhaps the relationship is serious, so it should invite the extended family to dinner," Adam replied.
[It could be. But it's clear your aunt was willing to make fun of me. Because my single son also has not yet got a bride]
Upon arriving at the uncle's residence, Adam said something to Lucky "Well, listen. Plan B has an extra plan."Lucky immediately went to look for the data in his head with plan B. He immediately remembered the conversation on Beras Basah Island. He looked closely at the boss's face in the rearview mirror."Send Bianca flowers tomorrow," Adam said, leaving Lucky who's in the driver's seat stunned. Then the boss got out of the car.After hearing Adam's words, Lucky fell silent and thought of the reason the boss was headed toward a woman who did not even know each other.A knock on the windshield threw out Lucky's daydream. "Sir, please move the car forward. The car behind is about to leave," says the security officer who arranged for vehicle traffic in and out of the driveway of the mansion.Through the main door, Adam was greeted by a large crystal vase with a white floral arrangement. The chandelier shimmered right above it. The sight reminded him
"You are an ungrateful child!" Bianca's foster mother yelled."What's going on this time? What did she do this time?" Bianca's foster father asked from inside the room. Then walked up to his wife who was glaring at Bianca in terror."Look at this! This stupid girl has ruined my shirt. This is what I want to wear tonight for the party. What should I wear then?" Bianca's foster mother was shaking something in her arm, a silk gown that had damaged its original color by smudges in several places."I just did what you told me to do. I put all the dirty laundry in the washing machine," Bianca said in self-defense.Bianca's foster father took the dress and laid it out. He looked sulkily at the dress."You are an idiot!" the woman scolded by pushing Bianca's forehead with her index finger. "This dress is ivory white, you shouldn't mix it with anything else!" she said irritably. The woman also hovered on Bianca's upper arm.Then Bianca's foster
The dinner banquet at Aditya Saguna's mansion was quite lively. No less than fifty gathered, both near and distant relatives. There are two people as hosts for the night to be more interactive. Others sing karaoke in the presence of small bands intended to enhance the atmosphere. Adam had taken his seat at the table of the main family of Saguna. There are Mr. Adyaksa, Mrs. Wursita, Mr. Aditya, Mrs. Padmana, and Gita. However, there were still two empty seats and it should have been Adam's cousin, Desmon Anggara Saguna. "Desmon is taking too long," Mrs. Padmana complained. "Where is brother Desmon going, Ma?" Gita asked. "Pick up his girlfriend," Mrs. Padmana said proudly. Just as the woman was about to call, her son, a tall athletic man appeared from a distance with a typical Adam's face in his hand by ho
Some people have stood at the door of the rectangular cubicle that was used to transport humans to other floors. Bianca followed them. That time she did not go up the stairs like she always did. Now she was forced to use the elevator because the orchid was sent by someone who could not yet be identified."Good morning, Bianca," The voice of a man greeted Bianca's left side.Bianca looked at the man and smiled at him. "Good morning, Mr. Fahar."Fahar even returned a friendly smile. Overheard the name being called, the employees who were initially faced the elevator door looked at him and greeted that man.Fahar was the CEO of the advertising company where Bianca made her job. Even though the man was only thirty years old, Fahar was able to build an Advanced Advertising firm as today, with growing in its esteem to the advertising environment. Hard work from zero made Fahar become a respected and dedicated businessman.Fahar wa
Meanwhile at the headquarters of AS Corp, a room where Adam's five assistants worked, Trias stood up from her chair and shouted something, "Where's Lucky now? How come he hasn't come yet?" That woman initially only served as a secretary, but since Adam started his own company called OSG, he made Trias also become Adam's assistant. There besides Trias, there was Hassan and two junior assistants, Andhika, and Adi. Meanwhile, Lucky had not come yet. Andika looked up. "Just now I passed by on the road. Lucky had an assignment from boss, he said. So he didn't go straight to the office," he explained. "Did he tell you where he went?" Trias asked."No. Well, that's Lucky!" Andhika cried while looking at the door. "Hi, Everyone. Miss me, don't you?" Lucky said. Lucky has been assigned to Samarinda for one week. "You must be gone for long. Forever gonna be fair enough," Hassan teased. "Just say you're jealous, Bro," Lucky replied. "Not at all. It's better to be with my wife. Isn't it,
After hearing Trias words, Adam was stunned with a serious face. While Adam was preparing to say something, a knock came at the door. "Come in!" Adam said. Four men entered the room and prepared to report. "I told Trias that she will focus on holding the OSG on my behalf starting next week. And she needs one of you to help him there. Adam pointed at Adi and Andhika. "Who's in?"The two young men in front of Adam exchanged glances. But they could not decide. Then Adam intervened so that the decision would not be too long taken. "Hassan, who do you trust to work with your wife? Adi or Andhika?" The boss asked. Without a thought, Hassan answered Andhika. And yet, Adi suddenly chimed, "So, don't you trust me, Sir?" "Andhika already knows a lot about our job. But you still have to study under my supervision," Hassan answered fiercely. Hearing Hassan's answer, Adi accepted that he was the newest one on the team. Adam agreed with Hassan's opinion."Okay. Then it's decided that Trias a
The orchid successfully attracted the attention of the floor where Bianca stayed for work. They were very curious about Bianca's relationship with the person who sent the flower. Because during their experience working together, there were none stories of the romance that was heard from Bianca. That woman was known seriously in work, spat baseline, and rarely gathered with friends after work. Initially only Amelia knew the initials on the card was A. Now all the office knows. Not because Amelia was deploying it, but because Bianca gave them the opportunity to know it. The card was still there. Bianca did not get rid of it. So while Bianca left the desk, suspended some colleagues who like to gossip and peek at the card. So, the secret fan of the initials was spreaded. "Some worker said that there was someone who has a secret fan? Do you know who, Bi?" Even Melissa, Bianca's boss in the planning division had heard the story. While Melissa was in the toilet, two employees were gossipin
The next morning, Bianca was sitting with her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes staring straight into a clear glass vase filled with water with a few beautiful and fragrant yellow roses. Along with the flowers there was again a card with the initials A as the sender. The woman still had not guessed the direction of the sender's wishes. Yesterday at the reception desk, this time it was so bold to put the flower on the work table. It was possible for Bianca to ignore it again like before, but this time it was a little too much. She glanced at the card again, remembering the words on it, "Can we be friends?" she muttered. Ignoring all workers in the same room with her who exchanged glances because of the roses on her desk, Bianca went to look for Joko, the office boy who served on the floor where she worked. The woman went to the pantry room. However, she found no one there. On the way out, Bianca bumped into Amelia who just got out of the elevator. "Looking for someone, Bi?" Ameli
Morning arrived. Bianca had deliberately come early because she intended to meet the security guard on the night shift. Her desire to know the flower sender was still burning. After parking her maroon automatic motorbike, the woman approached a guard at the entrance of the building. Seeing the ID hanging from Bianca's neck, the guard recognized that Bianca was an employee in the building, so the man did not stop her. "Good morning, Ma'am," the man greeted her politely. "Morning, Mr. Eko," Bianca said after seeing the letters on the uniform the man was wearing. "So early morning, Ma'am?" Eko asked surprisedly. "Yup. Avoid the pollution from time to time, Sir," Bianca said pleasantly. "Mr. Eko was new here? I've never seen you before," Bianca said probing. "That's right, Ma'am. This is my first week and I get a night shift," Eko said. Bianca nodded as if she understood. "Well, yeah, Mr. Eko, did you also receive roses for me yesterday?" Bianca continued asking. Eko nodded and rep
The man with thick black hair was talking on the cellphone with his father. "Yes, Dad?" [I want you to replace me for dinner with Mr. Li, Okay?] Mr. Adyaksa asked. "Today?" Adam asked back. [Yes. Your mother asked to be accompanied to Singapore. You know that if I refuse, it will be a long business] Mrs. Wursita's husband replied. Adam immediately flashed a smile and remembered his mother's sulky nature. Once upon a time, Mrs. Wursita fell ill because of her anemia and would only eat when Adam came home to feed her. At that time, Adam had not returned to Menteng for almost two months, hindered by his work with OSG, which had just started. Trias walked with Adam to the elevator door. "The meeting with Advance Advertising will be held today, Boss. Would you like the schedule to be postponed so you can meet them in person?" Trias asked."No need. I'll leave it with you. Who will come later?" "Head of their Planning division," the pregnant woman replied. Adam was stunned for a mome
The man with a firm face was momentarily stunned by Luna Maheswari's invitation, who seemed eager to familiarize herself with him. Adam concluded with a smile, "Sure. But I have to check my schedule for tomorrow. I'll let Vina tell you later. Okay?" There was no reason for Adam to refuse or be unfriendly to anyone's invitation, including Luna. He just would prioritize which was more important. The rising artist's eyes sparkled with happiness. She spontaneously grabbed Adam's hand to express her gratitude. "Thanks, Adam. I'm really happy," she whispered with the sweetest smile. Knock! Knock!The door opened and revealed Hassan, who saw the sight of the boss's hand being held by the artist. "Oh, sorry to interrupt," Hassan said as he was about to close the door again, but Adam stopped him. Luna immediately let go of Adam's hand and smiled awkwardly. "Boss, do you want to do the meeting here or in the meeting room?" Hassan asked. "Better there. Ask Vina to clean this up," Adam order
