The man who just finished reviewing the documents Ronald brought smiles brightly. He's really pleased with the results. "I agree, Uncle."
Ronald nods. "Lucky for us, Alef didn't put up much resistance. Made things easier for the investigation. Just like Fathia requested, that she wouldn't let Alef breathe freely, that wouldn't have happened. Alef deeply regrets his actions. That's evident in the statements that have now come to light."
"True, Uncle. I didn't anticipate this happening. I also didn't expect Sailendra to help bring down the Azure Group."
Ronald shakes his head slightly. "Of course, Sebastian. The Azure Group is big. It has many competitors. Every possible means will be used to bring it down. Exploiting Alan, who turned out to be cunning, and Max, who was the main executor."
"But so far, the progress with Max's arrest is successful, right, Uncle?"
The middle-aged man chuckles. "That's why listen to m

Fathia leaned her head on her work desk in her flower shop. She decided to extend her visit to Bandung to also look for fresh flower suppliers, so she can stock up her store in New York City. She's planning to establish AN FLOWER as her second store in New York City, a name that spontaneously came out of her lips when she was a kid.Making sure that the store in Beverly Hills transitions from a rental place to her very own property. Transferring all the store's contents to a larger and strategically located space to boost sales and increase its popularity. That's the hope, at least.In a significant change of plan, Fathia specially asked Melly to manage her store there. She taught her how to create simple reports and found a few people to assist Melly in her work. Fathia wouldn't let Melly work alone there, right?"Oh my God! I still can't believe that you're... really well-off. No wonder, you're so beautiful," Melly said after she explained who she really was.

Enough already. Fathia couldn't be broken anymore in her determination. Melly was just afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it. She feared disappointing, but seeing Fathia's sincerity in entrusting her, Melly didn't want to step back. It could disappoint the girl whose smile was so genuine towards her."Alright, Anne, uh... Fathia. I'll try to work as well and as efficiently as possible." She clenches her fist and raises it slightly. Her face shows a different kind of optimism than before. "I'll quickly learn about reports, okay? So, I won't be so clueless."Fathia finally laughs. At least here, she has a place to come back to. Her first store. She's obtained all the necessary permits and ownership, where she's the primary owner. Everything related to her flower shop, she'll expand it. If possible, she wants to reach all of Indonesia, just like her childhood dream. Where her mother approved.She's sure her dad and her sister approve too.All the paperwor

"So, what do you want?" Jess impatiently asks. Seriously, dealing with Fathia for the past two weeks has been draining. Jess would rather encourage Fathia who's lost than have her blindly and foolishly led by her heart. There's no telling how many words Jess has said to make Fathia think more deeply. To take more tangible actions and at least overcome what's been bothering her.Now?How could Fathia get so tangled up like this because of Sebastian? What's so difficult about urging that guy every time Clara is mentioned on the phone? Or... when Sebastian drove her to Beverly Hills? Why did they end up talking about other things along the way?Who's the strange one here? Herself or her friend?Especially when Jess picked her up, Fathia's face sank again even though Melly said there was quite a bit going on today, including Fathia starting to arrange artificial flowers for different containers. Innovating, as Melly added.When Jess asked, instead of a

Fathia and her short-sighted thoughts.She stuck to her position of not wanting to ask. Her fear was too great. She wasn't ready, truly, not at all ready for the words, "Yes, I'm marrying Clara after all," to slip perfectly from Sebastian's lips. Her heartbreak would be absolutely complete.That's why she decided to isolate herself. She asked Jack to take her to one of the villas that Laras had recommended for her. She handed over all her affairs to Kenzo, and even her cousin wasn't informed of her whereabouts. She wanted to retreat.She even intentionally turned off her phone for the sake of finding solitude in Raise Village now. This, of course, left Jack in a bind as many messages flooded his phone, all inquiring about Fathia's well-being. Diplomatically, Jack was asked to respond with a discreet message: Miss Fathia is taking a brief break. Her safety is assured. Kindly refrain from bothering her for a while.Even though Jack was truly afraid and trem

There's only one thing Fathia understands. How much she adores the touch and everything that can be given to her tonight by the guy. Accumulation of things that have ever been in her little head, projected clearly by the guy. Relentlessly. Without pauses. And what's more surprising for Fathia, everything looks real.But...,"Why?" Fathia asks with a frustrated tone. Her eyes wide open and glaring sharply with breaths racing against each other. The guy who has positioned himself right above her only gives a small smile. As if underestimating, yet truly, in the darkness of his eyes, the guy is already quite impatient.It took her dozens of months to realize how tortured she was by the stretched distance. She had scraped it away, yet her busyness wound it up again. Making that distance reappear even though she had longed for it so much. Used to having the presence of the girl wandering around him, causing an incredibly draining effect on his usual way of thinking.

"I did sleep with Clara." Feeling Fathia's face suddenly tense, Sebastian quickly supplemented his words. "But only once, Fathia. Seriously. And that was when I felt like I had no hope left for your existence."Fathia pouted. It's so frustrating to hear those words coming from the guy. The image of that vixen woman being under Sebastian, where Fathia caught them, making them stop the activity, repeated in her mind. Just that alone disgusted her. What if they really... oh God! Fathia closed her eyes briefly. She felt her chest pounding heavily. She chose to move from her position. Rather than letting her anger escalate and her thoughts become more chaotic, Fathia chose to step aside."Hey," Sebastian stopped Fathia's movement. "I'm sorry if that's disturbing, but I really have to say it." Even though the girl didn't want to look at him anymore, Sebastian insisted. He pulled the blanket and Fathia's body, enveloping her in his embrace. "Listen to me, can you?"The

Fathia didn't not believe in what Sebastian was saying. No. It's just that the woman's heart needed more proof than just words and sincerity from the guy. That's what she's doing now. Leaning half against the edge of the bed with a pillow propped against her back, Fathia activates her cellphone. She gently moves Sebastian's hand, which had been holding her tightly in an embrace that was hard to break free from.Nothing happens between them. To continue what Sebastian had mentioned earlier, he chose to make Fathia a replacement for the pillow. Fathia, pretending to be half-asleep, chooses to enjoy the rhythm of Sebastian's even snoring and the rise and fall of his breath, second by second. As she gets the chance to slightly loosen his hold, Fathia puts her plan into action.She checks all of Clara the Fox's social media accounts, just as she's done recently. And..."Oh my God!"Fathia immediately covers her mouth quickly. Afraid her voice will disturb Seba

Fathia takes a deep breath. Her hands are trembling quite a bit because what she's about to attend is quite nerve-wracking for her. For the first time, she's attending Alef Walker's court trial where today's session will announce the final decision regarding the judge's verdict. Throughout the investigation, testimonies in court and the collection of evidence have taken place, and not a single one from Alef Walker came out to defend himself.Except for a few things he didn't do related to the fund markup associated with Sailendra. It took time to prove it, but Fathia is grateful that Vino periodically updates her that everything is going smoothly without any significant obstacles. Alef Walker can truly cooperate and seems to genuinely regret his actions.Beside her, there's Jess trying to calm Fathia down. Since leaving the room, Fathia has looked anxious and even unenthusiastic about finishing her breakfast. Even though Naomi made pasta with an extra load of cheese.

What Jess fears the most when delivering orders is not just the payment. As for that, Jess doesn't worry too much because she's confident they will pay. What Jess worries about is suddenly receiving a message with a complaining tone from the customer. Even if the complaint is constructive, it still makes her feel small."Can you sit still, Jess?" Fathia had warned her friend not to be so tense. They had been in the apartment since the afternoon. The cake order had arrived safely and on time for the host's party there."I'm nervous!"Fathia shook her head in amazement. "You're usually the most confident one. Just now?""Ugh! This is different, Fathia. I'm not an expert at making cakes yet. I'm afraid it won't taste good. And it's not overly sweet."Seeing Jess's nervousness, Laras, who had been observing the two of them, approached. She took a seat right next to the girl whose hair always stood out with its cotton candy color but whose beauty contin

"This can't be allowed," Sebastian said angrily, his eyes flashing with rage. It sent a shiver down Jess's spine. They were in the middle of a discussion, especially after Vino had sent evidence of Sammy's crimes the day before. It included the name of the Mercury Company, which turned out to be true, just as Jess suspected.She was surprised herself, that it could be so well-orchestrated without many people knowing."I never thought Uncle Akmal would be like this," Fathia whispered, her eyes scanning each page of the reports."We need evidence to prove if Uncle Akmal is really involved," Jess replied.Fathia looked up from the rows of numbers she was examining."Because," Jess immediately handed over a report she was holding, "here it says that Uncle Akmal approved the amount the residents requested."Fathia immediately shifted her focus to the page Jess pointed to."And here, Mr. Sebastian. You can check," Jess handed another report

"It seems like we can't stay at my place, Fathia," Fathia, while gently pinching Gwen's chubby cheeks, looked up at Jess with a puzzled expression. "Why?""You're crazy, seriously. The house has been left for years, only peeked at occasionally to keep it maintained and not falling apart. There must be a lot of dust. Poor Gwen," Jess replied, her affection for Gwen was always genuine. Fathia could feel how sincere it was. "In that case, we'll just rent a hotel if it gets too late. It's not good for Gwen to stay in the car for too long. She won't be able to move freely."Jess agreed with that plan. In Fathia's luxurious black SUV, they decided to head to Ranch Village right away. They would return to Beverly Hills after a few days. Mirah and Laras joined them. Laras said, "Auntie wants to accompany both of you. And Gwen too."Both Jess and Fathia never wanted to refuse her. In fact, they were delighted when Laras joined them. At least, it meant she wouldn't be thi

Pulling out a regular notebook that she always carried around, it contained her activity planner and life goals. Jess liked planning like this, determining what should take precedence and what could be gradually worked on.She opened a new page, grabbed a blue pen, and started jotting down some notes. "High Priority," she wrote, thickening the letters and underlining them, adding a few small doodles around her words. She shifted slightly to the right to start with what she needed to prioritize.The cafe? It was stable; she didn't need any specific planning except for maintenance regarding quality and service to make it even better. However, she noted the order from Bu Loissa's friend who had already entered the place. Luckily for her, they were going back to Beverly Hills tomorrow. Fathia, Gwen, and Mirah were all going with her. The apartment Jess lived in was adjacent to Fathia's property. Her friend had gifted Jess a unit in the same neighborhood, even though Jess h

"This is the project in Ranch Village." Fathia handed over a rather thick file to Jess, who looked at her in surprise. "I know you need this, right?" she added with a grin on her lips, which made Jess laugh. Then the girl immediately examined each file that Fathia had handed over. Since Sebastian didn't come home today, Jess could freely discuss with Fathia, although occasionally she was interrupted by Gwen's presence. Ironically, she was the one who spent the most time playing with the adorable child."When I was found at Ranch Village the other day, they said it was for a supermarket construction. But, the price they offered is really low, Fathia.""Who offered it? Azure Group?""So here's the thing," Jess straightened her back. "There, residents often borrow money from loan sharks, like in one place. Mr. Imam said the name of the cooperative is Mercury PT. They use house certificates as collateral.""Mercury Company?" Fathia repeated with a furrowed br

As Jess talked to Kenzo about her burdens, half of that weight diminished. And when Laras hugged her tightly, Jess didn't expect the middle-aged woman she respected to say anything, and that reduced her burden even more. Even when Jess expressed her fear of Laras blaming her for Asmara, Laras pouted."Mami's not that heartless, Jess.""Sorry, Mi," she said, lowering her head. Fathia had gone back inside. Gwen was crying, asking for milk. She intentionally left them and gave them some time."This conversation should have happened a year ago, shouldn't it, Jess?"Jess frowned. "What do you mean?"Laras handed her a cup of her homemade jasmine tea. "Drink this first to relax a bit. Tea helps us calm our tense nerves, Jess.""Mami's right. When I was in Beverly Hills, I enjoyed my own jasmine tea. So when I went to Green Lake yesterday, I stuffed Kenzo with tea because he had too much coffee.""Oh, really?" Laras furrowed her brow in conf

"Your extra cheesy pasta always wins, Jess," Fathia says as she continues to eat her pasta without a trace of worry. Her body is naturally lean except when she's pregnant, and even then, it requires a lot of food to show.Jess just nods but feels pleased that what she's served is still her friend's favorite. After returning from the airport, Jess took a rest because her body was incredibly tired. She didn't even realize how long she had been asleep. When she opens her eyes again, morning has arrived. A series of messages flood in as Jess grabs her phone from the nightstand.Honestly, the past week has been exhausting for her, despite the enjoyment she shared with Kenzo. As she checks through the messages, most of which are from Kenzo, Jess can't help but chuckle.Jess. R: Sorry, I fell asleep last night. So tired, Ken. I still have a day off, right? Only back to work tomorrow?Just as Jess peels back the covers, getting ready to change, wash her face, and

Stopping by New York City, Jess didn't stay for long, just a few hours because Kenzo had to catch his flight. And for this time, using Dennish as a driver was the wisest choice. Kenzo was quite tired from driving from Beverly Hills to New York City and had to get to the airport right away. He didn't carry too much luggage, just a small suitcase, but he still needed to check if he had left anything behind.Meanwhile, Fathia advised Jess to go back to her place."Me and Mr. Dennish will manage it. How can I get back to Beverly Hills right away?" Jess smirked, but then she smiled. "Wait for me, okay? We'll gossip."Fathia, who was carrying Gwen, just shook her head in amazement at her friend's behavior. But really, Jess's eyes seemed more alive than they had been for the past few months. She felt like she was meeting the Jess she knew when they first met. Not the Jess who had been keeping to herself. Fathia knew Jess was close by, but not as close as she used to be

"Sebastian's been on a big expansion, you know, setting up a supermarket and all that. He's been working on that project for about a year now. Originally, it was in Uncle Alif's department, but it got stuck during his trial. It was handed over to Uncle Akmal for the continuation, and it's been running smoothly again," Fathia explains from the other end.Jess sits in one of the chairs on the balcony. She deliberately placed two chairs and a table to enjoy the evening. Just like now. Her gaze wanders far ahead, enjoying the chilly night atmosphere in Beverly Hills. She's sure Fathia might not know the exact location earmarked for development, which includes her parents' house and their graves.Talking to Fathia about this was the right decision, and she also feels like she needs to find out if Roy is deeply involved."Why are you suddenly asking about the Azure Group?"The pink-haired girl doesn't want to hide what's happening to her.
