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
Even though everything was over, there were no more voices of other people with cameras or mics asking endless questions, as well as some things that made his head dizzy, for Arslan all this really made him want to immediately sit down and lean back. If possible, just lay down for a moment. While thinking what steps he would do.“Please.” One of the officers opened the door for Arslan and Deny. They were temporarily in the same cell. Before later they were placed in special cells for prisoners related to corruption cases and other criminal offenses.“Tsk! Does the room you have to be this narrow?” asked Deny Jacob in an annoyed tone. “You know, I have a history of asthma. If my asthma flares up, I'll make sure you pay dearly.”The officer just grinned. “We're sorry. If your asthma flares up, the doctor here is willing to examine you. You can rest easy.”Deny growled in annoyance and pushed Arslan who was slightly blocking his way to the small room where they would be staying temporari
“Have a seat, Mr. Tan,” the doctor said, inviting Arslan to sit down after entering a room that was quite far apart from the operating room.Due to Arslan's status as one of the detainees, there were two supervisory officers following him. But Arslan had no desire to cause trouble in this hospital. The only thing that bothered him was Tiara's condition. According to the doctor, her condition was quite alarming.Even so, the surgery process that his wife underwent went quite smoothly. But why did the doctor who handled Tiara call him? Isn't that an indication that something quite alarming is happening?“Thank you, Doc.” Arslan tried to remain calm.Meanwhile, the doctor seemed to be busy taking some files before finally sitting in front of Arslan. “I'm glad that the surgery that Mrs. Tiara underwent ended well.” His face was serious, bringing new tension in the midst of an atmosphere that was not yet completely calm. “But there's still a phase that Ibu Tiara has to go through before it
