2024-11-13 10:00:17Tiara tried to keep up with Thomas' hurried pace. Occasionally the man returned greetings from several employees who passed them. If it wasn't for business like this, Tiara wouldn't want to set foot in this building. honestly, deep down inside Tiara, she still couldn't believe that Helena was the youngest daughter of the Edison family.
Trusted as the CEO of Nakia, which had grown rapidly from a few years ago. But why introduce herself as someone from humble origins, hiding her true identity? As if mocking all those involved with Helena for all the tricks the woman had pulled.
Because of that, Tiara never wanted to have a good talk with Helena. It was just that this time, things had shifted a bit and made Tiara have to think carefully about what she was going to say. Even though it felt like she was forced to do this.
“You really have some free time just to visit here, huh,” Thomas said as the special elevator doors to the floor where Helena worked cl

“Damn it!” cursed Tiara as she hit the steering wheel. She was already in the parking lot of the Nakia building. Talking to Helena had brought her emotions to the breaking point. Especially when she found out that the woman seemed to enjoy playing tricks on her.“What exactly is in Helena's mind?”Inevitably, Tiara began to think of the worst possibilities. Even her head also began to connect with the two people who were ordered by her, but until now there was no news from them. Not even the slightest trace could be found. How could that be? Wasn't there something Tiara didn't know?“This is impossible,” Tiara said as she ruffled her hair. She didn't care if her appearance wasn't as neat as when she first came to this building. She felt like her head was about to explode from the frustration attacking her.She had not forgotten the last conversation between Helena and herself. Which made her assume that Helena knew far more than Tiara could predict.Helena's words that said if Tiara h

“What have you been up to all this time, Hendry?” Tiara ruffled her hair in impatience and felt half-crazy because the two people who were the key to her actions had left absolutely no trace.“I've done my best. Your father's men have also done their best up to this point.” Not only Tiara, but Hendry also seemed to be getting depressed because the two men were nowhere to be found.He had requested investigations and searches in several cities but to no avail.“Even the slightest news about them, let me know.” Instead of Tiara spending time in Hendry's office, it would be better if she went home. Although her thoughts were all jumbled and unfocused, what she needed now was to rest for a while. While thinking, what steps she would take appropriately.“Alright, Miss Tiara. You still need to stay calm and don't act rashly.” Hendry gave advice even though it wasn't really needed. Because in a situation like this, Tiara knew better what to do.Tiara didn't respond, opting to leave Hendry's

Helena had just returned from Albert's office. After submitting files and other evidence that was not revealed during the investigation at that time. Many things turned out to be odd during the legal process involving Helena and Michael as victims. Although they were undergoing treatment, the case of the accident that almost cost them both their lives should not have been closed so quickly.The woman looked tired because the meeting wasn't just an ordinary meeting. It was all Thomas' idea to use the media as a weapon. It wasn't that he didn't agree with it, but talking in front of the camera and having people ask endless questions was draining his energy. But Thomas repeatedly said he had to be excited.It is not without reason that Thomas does things like this. But there was one thing that the man deliberately coordinated to put so much pressure on Tan's family as well as Jacob's family. The principle is, if you want revenge, never hesitate and be half-hearted. Everything must be don

“I'll take you home,” Michael said at the end of their exciting dinner. Although he had often heard Wilna's voice dominate because of her annoyance with Thomas' behavior, but really... if Michael had been asked to come to a dinner like this, he wouldn't have refused.With Thomas and Wilna, Helena seemed much more alive. She was often laughing and smiling at even the smallest things. And Michael wouldn't have missed a moment when that happened; Helena was beginning to enjoy her life. There was no more sadness and disappointment on her face, which had captured Michael's heart.The bespectacled man was very grateful that Helena was coping so well with her problems. As he said, whatever Helena wanted to do regarding the legal case involving Tiara, Michael would support her.Helena opened the case and submitted a lot of evidence to the police at this time not without reason. Not only did she want Tiara to pay for her actions, she also wanted her to know what it was like to lose. Especially

An hour before Mirna and Yori's arrival at the Nakia building.“Mom, are you sure we should go back to see Helena?” asked Yori as she ate the instant noodles she bought at the supermarket near her rental house. For the past few days, she and her mother had eaten only the bare minimum. It was hard to earn money at a time like this.Many of her friends and acquaintances stayed away and often looked down on her as if they were dirt and viruses to be avoided. Whereas if Yori remembered, they were familiar enough to share a table with various delicious dishes and gossip here and there about one of their colleagues who seemed annoying. It happened over and over again every time they got together. And Yori was the one who made the situation more interesting.But why after Yori experienced this, did they antagonize her. Expelling Yori if there is a meeting among them, as if Yori was not part of them before. Yori was very upset, wanted to get angry but they acted as if they didn't know Yori. E

What Wilna said was true. I don't know where Wilna's knowledge came from about the movement of reporters who never wanted to miss the news about Helena, some of them were already in the lobby of the Nakia building. Waiting patiently for Helena's whereabouts. The news that the woman appeared some time ago was very shocking.Naturally, many reporters wanted to get more information about it. Apart from the reporters who were paid by Thomas to continue to make news about Tan and Jacob's family always get attention. And because of this, several journalists from various media were provoked to follow how the latest trial involving Tiara Jacob's name.“I've asked Mr. Tommy to clean up any mess,” Helena said after a long talk with Tommy Andreas. For Helena, Tommy Andreas was a person who could be trusted to find a lot of information and make sure his steps and plans were in line with her wishes.“And?” asked Wilna.“You're right, there are some reporters waiting for me downstairs. And as you m

First day of trialThat day, the atmosphere in the court was bustling. Helena had been preparing since morning and was bracing herself that this trial would be far more dramatic than the previous one. But no matter, Helena would face it. She would drag Tiara in and make her feel what she felt. She had prepared everything, everything related to the accident case that had happened to her in the past. Most of which were not presented during the previous trial, whether it might be a game that Tiara did on purpose. To get the case closed quickly without any further rebuttal, especially from the victims; Helena and Michael.In the courthouse that Helena was finally familiar with, many people had gathered. Journalists had filled the courtyard since morning, ready with their cameras and microphones. Helena arrived early with Albert and his legal team. She was dressed in dark formal attire that gave her a stern yet graceful impression. Her expression was even, leaving no room for speculation or

“How did this happen?” muttered Tiara in a trembling tone. She repeatedly squeezed her hands together and her eyes were no longer focused on the trial. “Why did that man enter the courtroom?”Hendry, who knew that Tiara was panic-stricken, tried to calm her down. If Tiara's anxiety was seen, it would definitely be taken advantage of by Helena's side. He immediately tapped her shoulder, making her turn her head. “Calm down,” Hendry said.Tiara immediately realized her mistake. She tried to quickly normalize her shock. “You're right.” She immediately grabbed the mineral bottle in front of her. She gulped down half of it and refocused herself on the proceedings.Sean's problem would be taken care of soon, but right now he had to follow the trial properly and listen to all the nonsense Helena had to say in front of the judge. He must not miss a single thing.Sean's presence in the courtroom was a blow to Tiara. All this time, the man's whereabouts had been an enigma, and now he stood befo

The next morning, Helena woke up feeling much lighter and calmer. In fact, if Helena were to be honest, it was one of her best mornings ever. Waking up to a window with a beautiful, serene view of the city. The air was cool and made Helena feel at home on the balcony of her room.Today Helena planned to visit a museum that exhibited some famous artworks and if she was lucky, Helena wanted to bring one of them (if it sold) for her collection or to gift a client who loved artworks. It was for the benefit of her company as well since Helena did not rule out gift-giving as a strategy to make the partnership work.“I think it's time for me to go,” Helena said as she organized her small bag. She didn't want to leave anything behind. Today her father was not accompanying her. There was an invitation to lunch with an old acquaintance and of course, they discussed some important matters. It wasn't that Helena didn't want to be involved but she wanted to make the most of her time in Switzerland

“Good evening, Mr. Hanry and Helena,” Alaric greeted in a polite tone. He was waiting for Helena and her father to come out of the hotel for dinner. As per his promise to take them to one of the recommended restaurants not far from the hotel where they were staying.“The police chief isn't as busy as I thought,” Helena said with a laugh. She thanked Alaric for his concern just before he invited her to get into the car. Her father was already inside and sitting comfortably.“I've been busy but I've put in a lot of time to entertain you. When else will you visit this place?” Alaric laughed lightly. “Or are you planning to visit again?”“I don't know yet.”“Or... you, Mr. Hanry? I feel very honored to meet you in person. Many of the things I've heard about the Edison Group being what it is today are all thanks to you.”Hanry laughed. “I haven't kept up with the Edison Group for a long time. My son is doing well, I'm just an old man waiting for my bank account to fill up with the company'

Helena stood in the room with her suitcase open in front of her. Some of her clothes seemed to be scattered on the big bed, as well as some other necessities that she had to put in the suitcase. Occasionally, she looked out the window, where the mansion's garden looked green and beautiful.“Miss Helena, what else do you need?” asked Vania, the maid who assisted Helena during her stay at the main house.“I don't know, I'm confused,” Helena chuckled in disbelief. “I haven't traveled like this in a long time.”“I'll help you and make sure you don't leave anything behind while you're abroad.”“Thank you Vania.” At least Vania's words relieved her. “Don't forget my hairdyer. In case it's not provided there, I'm too lazy to find a new hairdryer.”“Yes, Miss Helena.”Hanry entered after knocking on the door.“Papa?” Helena looked surprised not by her father's arrival but by what was in his hand. “Let me carry it. Why don't you ask the servants to bring it here?” Helena grumbled. Hanri brough

“What's got you in such a mood?” asked Wilna after returning from lunch. In her hand was the cup of coffee Helena had ordered. At first, she thought she would hear an exciting story from Helena about her meeting with her future in-laws. But there seemed to be something wrong here.Helena, who was originally cheerful, looked somber.“Nothing,” Helena said with a fake smile.Wilna raised one eyebrow, not believing Helena's words. She sat on the sofa in front of Helena and offered her the coffee she had brought. “Oh, come on, you can't fool me. How long have I known you?” Wilna asked as she savored her cup of coffee. “Your face looks more pathetic than any tragic play I've ever seen.”Helena just sighed as she took the coffee and sat next to Wilna. The heat that the coffee cup brought to her palm made Helena hold it tighter. She hoped Wilna would give up and stop asking questions. But who was she trying to fool? This was Wilna-the friend who could always get her to talk, even when she di

Six months had passed since all the drama.“Is there a follow-up meeting?” Helena asked Wilna who was still going through some files. Because of Helena's question just now, Wilna looked up and stared at her best friend and boss. She seemed to think before she finally spoke.“I don't think so. Besides, all your dealings with the production and marketing teams have been handled by Gio. He's reliable.”Helena chuckled. “But afterward, he must have complained about a lot of things, especially that he couldn't go back to his apartment because he had too much work at Nakia.”Wilna spluttered. “Who told him to live so far away from the office?”“Sometimes I feel sorry for Gio. He's adapting a lot to his surroundings but there's no denying it, if that's what you have to do. Right?”Wilna nodded enthusiastically. “Should we ask him to transfer? Gio is a potential employee for Nakia, Helena. Do you know how much of an impact he could have on Nakia's survival?”“I know,” Helena replied immediate

I really wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling. Even though the vibe was quite relaxed and the song I was listening to was pleasant, it still felt awkward.“Where are we going, sir?” I asked. For the longest time. His answer? Just a big smile and a mischievous grin. Typical of a man named Thomas Edison. More often than not, he was annoying with his multiple desires, dizzying with so many detailed things he wanted, not to mention that sometimes he acted like a sulking five-year-old.I don't understand why so many people admire him. I know he has extraordinary capacity as a leader. But... I guess that's a performance Thomas often gives in front of many people. In front of me? It's a different story.Just like this afternoon. Even though his meeting schedule with Sofie had been arranged in such a way. It was a little difficult to contact the woman in the middle of her busy schedule with the launch of the new product she was managing. Sofie Ansela, the daughter of a rich family.

“Why is this happening to me?” I grumbled with a grumpy face. Really, dinner this time made me sick. Plus, Lily hasn't come home yet because she has work to finish immediately. At least if Lily joins us at the table, I can hold my temper a bit.What exactly is this asshole doing?“You don't have to bother bringing us a lot of food like this, Charles.”I heard my aunt speak in a friendly tone that was so sincere. Charles brought two large paper bags with the logo of a famous restaurant as gifts. I saw them as useless items in this house. Aunt Merry had prepared a separate dish for dinner.I stirred the food on my plate with no intention of actually eating it. Several times Aunt Merry offered me various delicious dishes at the dining table, but I refused. Really, I didn't want to eat the food Charles had brought for dinner this time.Uncle's voice talking about the house renovation plan sounded like the buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears. I only replied as needed, one or two words that I

Thomas really made me do a shitty morning activity. I had to wake up early, missing breakfast with Aunt Merry just to pick him up at the apartment. Ridiculously, I couldn't refuse not because I didn't have the courage. I saw that Thomas was really busy with his files. So... what that man was asking for wasn't just an excuse.He needs my help.So here I am now. Choosing a suit that suits him-tie, cufflinks, watch, and shoes. It must all match, or else I will get him angry. That's also why I had to take the time to study colors. It must be because the stuff in Thomas's clothes comes in a variety of colors.“Your clothes are ready,” I half shouted. I couldn't possibly talk in front of Thomas' bathroom door. Ugh! After sorting the clothes, I glanced at the dining table where there was nothing but a slice of bread with no jam on it.“How can he have so much energy with just two slices of bread?” I said as I opened the fridge. I took out the eggs, sliced beef, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber

“Damn,” I grumbled with an annoyed step. The encounter with Charles had completely ruined my mood. I was hungry but because of the argument, my taste buds just disappeared. I had to fill my stomach immediately because my job as Helena's replacement could not be taken lightly.Along the way to Helena's room, I kept thinking about that shameless Charles. God, he showed me a very bad side. And I felt that the sadness and disappointment that my marriage had failed was not as bad as it seemed. I was indeed sad, because what I wanted and longed for had come to an abrupt end. With an affair that I never expected.But the more days I pass, the more grateful I am that the failure happened.Including the incident this afternoon.Perhaps because I was too busy with thoughts that didn't lead to work, I had unknowingly stepped closer to Helena's office. The elevator that took me to my floor destination also seemed to be moving quickly. Unfortunately... I haven't put anything in my stomach as food.
