“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
Meanwhile in the hospital waiting room, Deny Jacob could not contain his frustration. This condition made him even more depressed and uncomfortable. He felt like a stranger trapped in a place that didn't belong to him. Moreover, this was a hospital. He hated places where the smell of medicines and disinfectants was strong.“How long will I wait here?” asked Deny as he ruffled his hair. He no longer thought about his appearance especially since he officially wore the prisoner's uniform. Ignoring the fact that he had always paid attention to how neatly he was dressed.“Be patient, Mr. Deny,” said the lawyer accompanying Deny Jacob and Arslan Tan. “The doctor and Mr. Tan are still talking about Mrs. Tiara's condition.”Deny let out a long sigh. “Did something really bad happen to my daughter?”The lawyer smiled slightly. “Nothing, Mr. Deny. But you'd better calm down. Some of the supervisors who came along are also keeping an eye on your behavior while you're out of custody.”Deny snorte
Two weeks have passed since the court verdict against Arslan and Deny Jacob. Despite their verdicts, news of the Tan family scandal still reverberates across the media. The family, once known as one of the most respected families, was now the subject of public scrutiny and speculation on various platforms. Helena found her phone screen full of notifications for online articles about the family's troubles.“Thomas really doesn't let his quarry off easy.” Helena chuckled. Her eyes remained fixed on her phone. While taking a sip of the coffee she had ordered, her fingers skillfully swiped across the flat screen of her sophisticated gadget. Reading one news story after another that tirelessly talked about the downfall of the Tan family.It seemed Helena wasn't the only one interested in keeping up with the news about the Tan family. Oh, my. Helena had never thought of helping the family out of the trouble they were in. Why wouldn't she be so busy with Nakia and the many work programs she
“I don't know what your plans are with Mr. Tommy, but it seems a little serious?” Wilna asked in a cautious tone. She didn't want to make Helena uncomfortable because this question was a slight reference to Tiara and Helena's ex-husband Arslan Tan.“I don't know. What angle do you see it from. Whether it's serious or not,” Helena said casually. Her eyes were still focused on the files in front of her. A few times she also sighed and re-centered herself so that what she wanted could be done immediately by all the staff who worked together under her orders. “What about the marketing team's research? Any problems?”“Nothing so far. In a month we can prepare for the launch of the newest unit.” Wilna smiled broadly. “Our hard work is finally paying off.”“That's to be expected, isn't it?” Helena let out a long sigh. She took off her glasses and closed her eyes a little just to get rid of the fatigue she was experiencing. “Maybe things didn't work out the way I wanted them to but seeing how
