“You look like someone who just won the lottery, Erick,” Helena could no longer contain her laughter. Since the hearing was dismissed, they were asked to prepare for the final hearing. The sentencing hearing for Arslan Tan and the people involved. And Helena wasn't going to miss that opportunity because really, this day was very unexpected for her.There were many questions that arose in Helena's mind. Especially where did Gio get the CCTV footage that was so valuable and exhibited at the most opportune time? Ah, Helena couldn't wait to find out all the things she seemed to have missed. However, there was no way she could ask Erick or Gio to explain right now. Wouldn't it be better to celebrate this small victory with a meal together?“You know, I didn't expect that kind of response. I thought they would come back and refute the video that Gio got. But I guess I had high expectations for the way they work. Especially when it comes to security.”Helena wanted to ask another question, b
There was nothing Helena could do but smile cheerfully. Her heart felt relieved that she could fight for Nakia until she got this answer. At the very least, she could prove to herself that she was capable of taking on the huge responsibility of leading Nakia Group. And also as a big warning that if she's going to work with other parties, she should be much more thorough than before. If necessary, find out the company's track record before deciding whether to continue the cooperation contract, or if there are some additional agreements.Besides having Erick who is good at finding information, no matter how detailed it is, it seems that if he recruits Gio, it could be even better for the IT team. Maybe he would talk to Wilna if all his business with the court was done.Because this was only one of the two cases he wanted to drag until he got real justice. But for now, he had to hold back. As soon as the time was right, he would move until the people who had made him have such intentions
On the way home, accompanied by the glittering lights of the city, Helena and Michael enjoy a quiet moment after an emotional day. The atmosphere in the car was peaceful, a far cry from the tension they'd faced over the past few weeks. Michael, who was sitting in the driving seat, smiled slightly as he glanced at Helena beside him.The little celebration at the restaurant had been a lot of fun and felt very appropriate after all the days they had spent together.“Do you mind if it takes longer to get home?”“You want to visit somewhere?” asked Helena with a surprised look. Although they were still walking along the main road, but considering the traffic, they would be at Helena's house in less than 20 minutes.“Grab a cup of coffee maybe?” Michael chuckled. “That is, if you don't mind.”“I guess that's fine.” He laughed. “Besides, it's a nice night and it would be a shame if I didn't enjoy it, right?”“That's what I thought.”They laughed together then. Helena let Michael drive the ca
Helena was enjoying the quiet days again. Although the reports and work were time-consuming and thought-provoking, at least it went very smoothly. Some of the progress regarding the launch of the new product was starting to show. The IT team was researching the technology Erick was developing and the marketing team had begun researching their market.One thing that pleased Helena; Gio accepted Thomas' offer to join the Edison Group. Thomas said that the two of them should not be put together in one project. At least one of them should support Edison Group. Helena didn't make a big deal out of it. After all, the right to accept the offer belonged to Gio.“Helena,” Wilna walked into Helena's room which was always open. Since yesterday, Helena's office had been very busy. Several staff, especially the finance department, often visited Helena to give detailed reports because in one month, Nakia Group would hold a big meeting with the shareholders.Although her father was the chairman of t
Yori chuckled in annoyance. “We still can't find Helena, ma'am?” she asked as she folded her legs. She was bored out of her mind but couldn't leave the building immediately because she had other things to do. Although she was reluctant to admit it, what her mother said about their future was true.“This is all because Arslan is too greedy,” Yori grumbled with a frustrated sigh. “If he had enough, I'm sure we wouldn't have been dragged this far.”Mirna immediately punched Yori's shoulder dispassionately. It made her youngest daughter moan in pain but Mirna cared. What was on Mirna's mind, was the easiest way to help her son who was in big trouble.“If it weren't for Arslan, we wouldn't be able to live like we did a while ago,” Mirna sighed as she folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes glinted with displeasure at her youngest daughter's apparent reluctance to accompany her to this building.The purpose was clear, to meet with Helena Edison. Her former daughter-in-law who apparently
“It seems you really don't have the patience and understanding of the procedure for meeting with Miss Helena, huh?”In the end, however, Helena did meet him. After receiving a report from the security staff that the two guests had been waiting for a long time and seemed reluctant to leave, Helena decided to go down and meet them. Although her heart wasn't too happy to see Mirna and Yori after everything that had happened, she decided to remain calm. Her face was flat as she walked towards them, accompanied by the ever-faithful Michael by her side.As soon as she saw Helena appear, Mirna immediately rose from her chair and put on a wide, very artificial smile. Her eyes sparkled hopefully, as if there was no big problem hanging between them. Yori, who was standing beside her, also greeted her with a forced smile, although the cold glint in her eyes could not be hidden at the sight of Michael beside Helena.Yori still couldn't believe her eyes when she
“Are you ready?” asked Thomas with a glance at Helena. They should have left for court an hour ago, but Helena was busy. Her younger sister didn't have a moment's respite from the many reports that demanded her attention. It was a natural thing for Helena to do because in two months, the Nakia Group's newest unit would be released.The product was supposed to be launched with Intel Corp as the originator of the technology, but they were the greedy ones. Making Nakia suffer losses that must be calculated as a claim because Intel arbitrarily acted to violate the contract.Luckily Helena, Erick and the IT team immediately fixed what was lacking and the products that had already been produced with Intel Corp technology could be slightly improved. At least Erick's proposal to sell the product cheaply could cover the initial production costs. The unit, which was being carefully and meticulously prepared, was much more tempting and would certainly be accepted by the public when it was launch
“One of your wishes has come true, Helena,” Michael whispered.When Helena glanced at the man who had been at her side, there was a faint smile. It wasn't a smile that meant anything bad. It was a smile that celebrated the joy of what had happened. It was a smile that symbolized the satisfaction that represented Helena for today.“Are you satisfied?” Michael asked once again.“I don't know. Can it really be called satisfaction and joy? But one thing I'm sure of is that I can at least maintain Nakia's dignity in front of the public. I don't want them to look down on Nakia like that just because I was seen in public?”Michael chuckled. “I think your name is starting to be talked about in the ranks of other businessmen, Helena. You weren't afraid to face them even though you could have used your father's influence. But you chose a different path.”Helena smiled slightly. Once again her attention was drawn to the two people still standing in the corner of the room. It seemed that there we
“What's up?” asked Lilo, glancing at Mario to keep the boundaries while talking. It seemed like this was the moment when King would reveal a little of his heart. Of the three of them, only King was more likely to keep his feelings closed off, especially towards Gadis. This was also what might make King act silly and annoying just to get Gadis' attention.“I don't think they broke up nicely, because Pasaraya caught his girlfriend with another guy.”“Well, it's really bad to be a guy,” Mario scolded. ‘Great, that means your opportunities are wide open, King.’ Mario immediately patted King on the shoulder. ”I support you one hundred percent.”But King's response was ordinary.Lilo could only raise an eyebrow. Mario was being a real pain as usual. “What really happened besides the cheating girl's girlfriend?”King still didn't want to open his voice. Both Mario and Lilo chose to wa
“Do I need to congratulate you or not?” asked Mario, raising and lowering his eyebrows. ”I really didn't think Lilo would steal the start of getting married first.”Lilo, who had been the subject of teasing, mockery, and the main topic of conversation among the three of them, could only sigh quietly. While shaking his head in amazement at Mario's remark just now. “If you're ready, why wait any longer? I'm too lazy to look for someone close to perfect.”“Your style, duh!” Mario laughed. ”You, the calmest of the three of us, turn out to have greater mental readiness. But still, I'm a little worried about your future wife. Or better to hurry up the marriage contract first. It doesn't matter if it's a KUA marriage, right?”“What's the connection?” Kali King was the one who spoke. Even though they were gathered casually amidst various sweet and savory snacks, as well as several cups of refreshing cold drinks, King's work laptop was still on. He never neglected his obligations at GreenTech,
“Have you seen the latest news?“ Lisa immediately approached Risna's table, where her coworker and friend was eating breakfast.“What news?” Risna was surprised by Lisa's remark and her enthusiasm this morning. In fact, in recent days, Lisa had been complaining all the time. It never stopped for a moment until Risna felt that Lisa's energy was being used up complaining. The biggest complaint was the portion of their work, which she said was increasing.“All because of those ungrateful interns!” Lisa said in a rather loud tone of voice. She said it on purpose so that everyone would hear how unfair it was that King's subordinates were given many tasks, while the interns could work freely.But when King was in his work area, Lisa didn't dare to voice her complaints. Instead, she was very sweet and worked very hard to finish quickly. So she went to King's room just to say a few words. Which were more often ignored because King was really on a deadline and had a lot to be done immediately.
“So ... have you broken up with Angga?” asked Manda while giving Gadis a glass of pineapple juice and apple. Manda was in a diligent mood again, tinkering with the contents of Gadis's cupboard where there was a juicer that was often used to make refreshing drinks.“That's how it is.“ Gadis accepted the glass with sparkling eyes. ‘You know I'm really tired after coming back from Bogor.”Not only Manda, but also Lily suddenly stared at Gadis suspiciously. ’Bogor?” they asked in unison. “Don't you have work in Bandung? How come you went to Bogor instead?”Gadis choked even though she was enjoying the sweetness that ran through her throat. Even though it was getting dark, the air made the surroundings feel hot and she needed a refreshing drink.“Is there something you're hiding, Dis?” asked Lily with a suspicious look. ”Besides, you should have gone home yesterday afternoon, but instead you're late until this afternoon. Admit it! Are you going out with Angga?”“I'm so over him that I can'
Does their madness end? Obviously not. Once they reached Puncak Pass, the car that King was now in entered the lodging area. Luckily, the room they rented was not full and was comfortable for temporary living. Don't worry, King would never take Gadis to spend the night in a usual place even though the place they were going to was not a five-star hotel.“Bandung-Bogor just for the sake of sunrise?” Gadis shook her head in surprise as soon as they finished the paperwork at the reception desk. The innkeeper looked at them somewhat surprised because they might be the latest guests to come here.“It's still better Bandung-Bogor than Bandung-Bukit Sikunir.”“Don't be crazy,“ said the girl, who immediately took the key to her room. "I'm at the end there, right?" she asked, confirming once again the direction indicated by the receptionist.“Yes, ma'am. And the guy is on the second floor.”“Okay.” King immediately prepared to go to the place indicated. “You have to be up at five, Pasaraya. I d
In the end, Gadis was unable to refuse what King wanted. As for talking to Mr. Ubud, Leo, Gadis could just send a text message. After all, her work in Bandung was finished. The GreenTech team and Gadis were scheduled to return at eleven o'clock the next day. Then Ubud gave her two days off. That was the plan, but since Gadis got an amazing surprise, everything changed.Including plans to relax at the guest house after returning from Bandung.“Ready?” King asked while putting on his seat belt. King's appearance was the same; he looked tired but his annoying look hadn't left. Is that how Kingkong always looks? I don't know. What is clear is that Gadis was used to it.“I should be the one asking that, Kingkong,” Gadis said as she made sure the driver's seat was properly adjusted. E-toll card and a few things she needed while behind the wheel. Including the gas indicator, which was almost full. ”You really rarely run out of gas.”King chuckled. “I just realized that you have a good eye. I
Almost all visitors to the cafe paid attention to those who had been arguing. Although Gadis's voice was ordinary, it was full of a very noticeable aura of anger. This was in contrast to Angga, who sometimes raised his voice. Moreover, the girl's words, which he did not expect to come out so smoothly from her mouth.“Watch your mouth, Dis,” Angga said, clenching his fist.“Angga, I need an explanation.” Sheila immediately wiped away her tears. She also no longer sat listening to what was really going on. But since she had listened to the words of the girl sitting next to her, as well as Angga who suddenly ignored her, Sheila began to doubt Angga's words. Especially the sweet part full of romantic love.“Shut up!” Angga stared at Sheila with a sharp look. His face looked scary. His breath roared strongly and he was too overwhelmed by his emotions.This immediately made Sheila's guts shrink. In the end, she could only sit
Not only Angga, but the girl in front of him was staring in disbelief at the figure who had suddenly appeared around them.“You ... who are you?” asked the girl with an unkind look. ”Don't you mind our time.”Gadis smiled cynically. “Is that true?” The gaze that never left Angga's figure was slightly distracted to stare at the girl who had just spoken from such a close distance. “Am I a bother, Mr. Angga?” asked Gadis in a casual tone of voice.She didn't need to use her high tone because she was already emotional and disappointed. A flat tone was enough, but seriously, Gadis wasn't going to intimidate them both. Especially the man who seemed to be growling while holding back his annoyance.“Who is he? Do you know her?”“Are you in Bandung? What are you doing here?“ Angga ignored the question of the girl he was dating today. Her name was Sheila, a colleague at the hospital whom
The amazing girl was happy. Her smile wouldn't leave her face and her eyes were shining with happiness. For almost five hours she posed in front of the camera, not to mention changing her clothes several times and matching which part of the corner was the right one for shooting. And there was still more she had to do at the official Velue Jewelry outlet in Bandung.Maybe it's because of her determination to get rid of the problems that are still entangling her, and she refrains from telling her two friends. It's not that she doesn't want to, but for the past two days Gadis has been coming home late. The job that King gave her doesn't give her any breaks at all. But she feels grateful because she's busy. So her thoughts were not always about Angga's words and what she should do about their relationship.Gadis didn't even think about Leo's words. Gadis's main goal this time was to finish the job that she had already taken the risk of doing well. She also examined one by
