The story begins three years in the past. The moment Helena left the Edison residence and handed over the leadership of Nakia Group to Wilna, her most trusted assistant and friend.***“Are you sure?” I asked once again. I had no problem with Helena leaving Nakia for something important-continuing her graduate studies. But Helena leaving to catch the love of a man who came from an ordinary background. Oh, really. I have no problem with any man having a relationship with my best friend. It's just... to make Helena leave home and hide her identity?Isn't that too much?“Why am I not sure?” Helena smiled widely. “I don't just let Nakia out of my sight anyway.”“That's not the issue, Helena,” I said with a long sigh. "It's about you releasing Edison's status in favor of a man named Arslan Tan. Are you sure you've made sure he's a good man? Treats you well? Loves you sincerely?” I really had my doubts about this but what else could I say when Helena's eyes really radiated great love.“Take

“Looks like you're already drunk.”I looked at the person who said that nonsense sarcastically. “I'm not drunk yet,” I retorted, putting down the glass rather rudely. It was filled with vodka, which I had downed without a trace. But I wasn't satisfied yet. I don't know how long I've been in this bar, but this place is quite pleasant. It's not like a noisy bar that makes my head spin.Golden Bar is where Thomas usually goes when he has business meetings. I used to make reservations here for him. I read on some websites that Golden Bar is one of the few exclusive bars that offers a place to enjoy alcohol in a quiet atmosphere. The safety and privacy of this place is guaranteed. And because I made reservations for Thomas so often, I got a lot of vouchers. And now, I'm using those vouchers. If I used my own money, I don't know how much money I would have spent just to enjoy a glass of vodka.“You've already finished almost five glasses.”I scowled. “Who are you to tell me to stop?” I pour

“Put this on.”Ugh! This man in front of me is really annoying. Can't a day go by without a coercive tone coming out of his lips? Ever since he found me in the park, what comes out of his mouth is always in a coercive tone.Just like now. He threw me a set of his sleeping clothes. I just stared in doubt but...“Quickly shower and change your clothes.” Thomas gave an exasperated look. “You're like a dog that lost its master in the middle of the forest.”“Oh my, Mr. Thomas. I already refused your offer and could have gone home by taxi. But you forced me to follow you home, didn't you?”Thomas made no more sound except to give me a disapproving look. All I could do was walk away from him-to the bathroom. It was true what he said. I needed a shower and a change of clothes. My whole body was wet and I didn't realize I was shivering from the cold.“You use the guest room. Make yourself at home. I won't leave the room because it's so late. There are many important meetings tomorrow, right? T

They say that the best cure for a broken heart is to be busy at work, working overtime, and not remembering time except when you eat and come home and fall asleep. It seems like a good idea unless you have a family that is quite sensitive to what's going on with you.Really. It can't be ignored for too long.Maybe yesterday-when I ended up staying at my best friend's brother's house, I was able to avoid a lot of questions from Uncle Jack, Aunt Merry, and Lily too. But it's been three days and I've also made a lot of cancellations related to my wedding that will be held soon. They must be wondering what really happened to me.“Wilna.”If Aunt Merry had called me in that tone, I knew what would happen next. Interrogation. And sure enough. As I sat in the living room after dinner, after I had taken a shower and unwound a little from the many meetings and reports that had piled up at Nakia, Aunt Merry sat down beside me.She brought me a cup of lemon tea and her not-so-sweet homemade cake

“Hey, wake up!”I really wanted to throw something at this person who kept talking. It's so noisy. Even though I had just found myself sleeping in... I quickly opened my eyes as wide as I could. I just realized where I fell asleep this time.“Finally woke up too.”I heard the man beside me grumble. His hair was a bit messy, his shirt had been rolled up to my waist, and his blazer was no longer worn. I saw another appearance of Thomas Edison's figure that I think actually made his good looks go up a hundred percent.One moment.Me just complimenting him doesn't mean I have feelings for him. He's a man I'll cross off the list of men I want to be lovers, by the way. Looking at his track record as a man who has had many lovers, I'm completely distancing myself from having a special relationship with this man.“I'm sorry,” I said while bowing slightly.“No problem.” He also stretched his hand. For some reason, seeing him like this made me feel guilty. I shouldn't have fallen asleep on the

"Wilna, do you know that the marketing department needs the most up-to-date input on the exhibition in three months? Have you prepared it?”I looked up as Thomas Edison's heavy voice filled my room. The guy just walked in without knocking on the door first. Really, this was the dozenth time I had protested his bad habit, but he didn't seem to care at all.It seemed like God had created Thomas as a challenge for me. So I had to extend my patience in order to face the man who had pulled out one of the chairs in front of me. Ready for a long talk that I'm sure won't be over in an hour. Ugh! I have a lot of work to do but I still have to deal with this guy? Seriously!“I've prepared it, sir,” I replied as I straightened my shoulders. My eyes glanced at the thick document lying neatly on the table. The work Thomas was asking about was really testing my patience. The financial reports of the last three months were a burden on my mind, not to mention the big exhibition plan that would become

“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.

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

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
