“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'

    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

    “Are you sure I don't need to accompany you?” asked Michael with a doubtful look. Today, Helena had asked to be taken to meet Vena, Michael's mother. I didn't know what they were going to talk about, but Helena didn't seem to want to share it easily. Her excuse was to personally deliver the gift she had bought in Switzerland, especially for Michael's mother.“Yes, I'm sure.” Helena smiled meaningfully. “Oh, come on. Don't give me that look.” Helena's hand just reached out and touched Michael's cheek. He immediately closed his eyes to feel the tenderness Helena was offering him. He grasped the hand tightly and gave it a few light pats.“The last time you saw my mother, you decided to take a week's vacation to Switzerland. Sounds familiar to me, doesn't it?”Helena laughed. “That's just you thinking too badly. I went on vacation with Papa, nothing bad happened and in fact... I came back with full confidence. You should be grateful that I went on vacation, right?”Michael frowned but cou

    “Do you like it?”Helena could only stare at the sample ring that Vena pointed to. The twinkle on Vena's face was truly happy. She couldn't resist whatever Vena did to her this afternoon. Including dragging Helena into one of the most famous jewelry outlets.“Isn't this too much?” asked Helena as she gazed once again at the ring Vena had chosen. A diamond with an exquisite luster was set in the center. It was crafted from number one quality white gold with such precision that whoever wore it, was mesmerized. Just like Helena who couldn't take her eyes off the luster of the ring she was still trying on.“Nothing is too much if you use it, Helena.” Vena rubbed Helena's shoulder lightly. “Would you like another model?”Helena let out a long sigh. Today was definitely going to be a long day to spend with Vena. Helena hadn't forgotten the conversation that had taken place at Vena's house shortly after the woman had asked her assistant to contact some of her acquaintances.“No! We should st

    “It must be really hard for you to keep up with Mommy,” Michael asked as he gently rubbed Helena's temple. They were on their way back to Helena's house after having lunch together. You can imagine how Vena dominated the conversation during the meal - especially when it came to Helena and Michael's wedding preparations.“It's not inconvenient, it's just a bit much,” Helena complained with a deep sigh. “You can hear what she's saying, can't you?”Michael laughed. “Forgive my mother for being so over the top. She's just too happy that we're finally getting married, darling.”“I know.” Helena leaned back comfortably in her passenger seat, while Michael was still giving her gentle strokes that made her feel calm. “That's why I didn't protest the many things your mother recommended. Except for the wedding dress. I wanted to customize it to my taste.”Michael smiled widely. “Whatever you want, just do it. I don't mind.”“Even if I bankrupt you just because of the wedding preparations?”Mich

    “Are you sure you're coming home tonight?” asked Helena with a sad face. Tonight's banquet was a warm and friendly affair. And many things were discussed together to reach an agreement about the preparations for her marriage to Michael.Andreas' family had left 30 minutes ago, but Helena didn't realize that Wilna was also preparing to go home. Helena thought that her best friend and assistant had chosen to stay overnight and that they would have an exciting conversation about the wedding preparations.“I have to go back,” Wilna said with a big grin. “Lily just got back from New York. I don't want to miss out on all the fun she'll have when she has her event there.”“You're right.” Helena nodded in understanding. “I'm sure she has plenty of stories.”“If you need me to help you with the wedding preparations, I'm always ready to help.”Helena smiled broadly. “I know I can count on you.” She gave Wilna a warm hug. “Let me know when you get home.”“Okay.” Wilna returned the hug immediatel

    “Did you have lunch with Michael?” asked Wilna, carrying some of the files Helena had corrected.“Yes.” Helena smiled broadly. “What about you?”Wilna shrugged. “I don't intend to leave the office this afternoon. I don't know, I feel so lazy.”Helena laughed. “What are you lazy about? Aren't you the one who gets excited more often because of lunch?”Wilna spluttered. “Thomas said he was coming to the office. He brought lunch.”“Ugh!” Helena smiled widely. “Do you have something to hide?”“Nothing,” Wilna replied immediately. “Aren't you used to seeing us eat lunch together anyway?”“Thomas bringing you lunch is the difference,” Helena said, snapping her fingers. “But I'm happy with how your relationship is progressing.”“I don't have any relationship with Thomas,” Wilna evaded.“I'll wait for your confession,” Helena said as she grabbed her small bag. She had made sure she had her cell phone and a few other essentials. “I'll leave first. If there's anything you want, let me know immed

    “Have you made up?” asked Wilna half-jokingly. This Sunday morning Wilna was already at Helena's main mansion. Ever since Helena decided to marry Michael, the woman had returned to her main house. Apart from making the wedding preparations easier, Helena also wanted to be near her father. Keeping the middle-aged man company, making up for the time wasted taking care of things including Nakia.Helena only gave an annoyed glance. “I don't really want to be angry or ignore him.”“But?”Helena scowled. “Why should I have a best friend like you? I can't hide anything from you.”Wilna laughed with satisfaction. “So... why are you like that?”“I don't know.” Helena shrugged. “I don't like that woman. I feel like I've been transported to the day I knew Tiara.” She looked down sadly. “Temptations from third parties always come at unexpected times. Learning from that painful experience really sucks.”Wilna took a sip of her hot tea as she looked at Helena sitting in front of her with a troubled

    “Wilna! Are you still in the room for long? What time is it already?”Aunt Merry's shout made Wilna, who was still struggling with her make-up and hair to make it less messy, speed up her preparations. “Yes! I'll be ready in a minute!”“You've been waiting for Thomas.”Wilna's movement in combing her hair stopped. As soon as she realized Aunt Merry's words. She accelerated her activities to get ready before leaving for the office. Wilna rushed out of her room with her hair half done, wearing a casual blouse and trousers. But her steps stopped at the dining room door when she saw Thomas sitting at the table, sipping coffee while reading the newspaper.“Mr. Thomas?!” she exclaimed, her eyes rounding. “What are you doing here so early?” It was an unusual sight for Wilna to see. How the man, who was already well-groomed in a navy suit, sat comfortably among his family.It was nothing compared to the reception of her family, especially Aunt Merry. The middle-aged woman looked so happy with

    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

    Did the annoying continuation of the conversation between Angga and Gadis happen? No.Gadis' condition did not allow her to continue all the words that were on the tip of her tongue. All the swearing seemed to be able to come out because of the frustration and tightness she felt. What Angga said was outrageous. All the things that had happened to her in the past were spinning around in her head.Making Gadis lose concentration. Repeatedly her name was called to follow directions that they thought were easy, but today Gadis seemed to have lost control. Unfortunately, all of that could not be expressed because of the circumstances. There was a part of Gadis that kept reminding her strongly, looking at the condition Gadis was in at the moment.That bastard of a boyfriend of hers. He could cause her mood to fall apart.“I'm sorry, Ms. Ransi,” said Gadis, looking down dejectedly. She didn't know how many times she had apologized, but gadis was not

    “Where have you been, Dis?” asked Manda, who greeted Gadis's arrival with surprise. Both she and Lily had been waiting for Gadis to return. It wasn't a problem with the message that Gadis had sent saying that she would be home late, but ... this was out of the ordinary for Gadis. Was it because of her side job that Gadis was coming home late.“Eh, who gave you a drop off?” Lily still hadn't taken her eyes off the HRV car that had just passed right in front of the gate, making her curious. "Mr. Foreigner, huh?" she teased immediately.“Oh, we're full now.” Manda laughed. ”What's in here?”“When you're full, you don't need to ask what's in it,” said Gadis as she continued to climb the stairs. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt so tired. The only thing she wanted to do right away was to clean up and change her clothes. Then curl up in a blanket and fall asleep with sweet dreams.But unfortunately, it was not easy for her to get it considering that Manda and Lily were still aroun

    “You're really annoying, Jungle King!” Gadis couldn't do anything but fasten her seat belt properly. Even though her head felt like it was going to explode, her eyes were already flashing an extraordinarily high level of dislike. Not to mention, the deepest desire in her was for the fist she had to be able to nestle into King's face as he stared at her carefree.Even pouting!The man sitting next to Gadis was a crazy man!“How annoying is it?” King folded his arms across his chest. ‘I'm billing you for my work, you know. Besides, you should be grateful, you don't have much work today. Compared to the others? You could finish at ten o'clock at night. Are you working or being worked on?’ King laughed.“Son of a bitch!”“Well, it's been a long time since I heard you swear so rudely. I thought your mouth had repented, but apparently not yet.”King is the patient tester that God gave him in his life.“Be careful driving, okay. I love my car even though I paid it off. Don't get any scratche

    “Wow, the famous model candidate has finally returned to the cage,“ joked Afandi with a wink as he saw Gadis entering his work area. The one who was being teased just pouted as she pulled up her work chair. She sat back comfortably while taking a long sigh and unwinding her hair.“I'm really fed up with this dual job,” complained Gadis but then laughed.“You should be grateful because your income has doubled,” teased Panji, who had just arrived with a cup of coffee. ”Eh, do you want me to make you an iced cappuccino?”Gadis didn't immediately agree. Panji, Afandi, and Hary, when they offered help, there was always something they wanted. Gadis didn't want to get into more trouble than just asking for someone's private phone number.“How much do I need to pay?” asked Gadis with suspiciously narrowed eyes.Panji was clearly laughing hard. ”You're really sensitive about this kind of thing, Dis.”“Brother Panji, the price list is written on your forehead.”This time, the uproarious laughte

    “What are you doing, Dis?” asked Manda with great curiosity. This evening, they were eating for free. Apart from the many side dishes brought by her mother, Gadis, her friend kindly wanted to stay busy in the kitchen even though she had just returned from work. She also said that she was not too tired because she was being driven by a colleague from the office.Of course Manda and Lily were curious even though their hearts were happy because the money for this dinner could be used for other things.“Create a status,” replied Gadis briefly. Her mouth was still chewing the rice she had just cooked, complete with spicy basil chicken. ”To make the burning souls even hotter.”Manda's forehead wrinkled. “I didn't see the status you made, Dis. Where is it? I'm curious,” Manda quipped, now busy looking at her cellphone. There wasn't a trace of dinner left on her plate. Besides being delicious, it was also free. When else w

    Gadis stopped dead in her tracks. Reflexively, she held back King, who was walking alongside her, to stop.“Why?” King asked with an annoyed look. ‘They said they wanted to buy pudding. That's it,’ King pointed without feeling strange at all. ”That counter, right?”“Um... can you make a different route?”King stared at Gadis in surprise. “We can't. Why would we go around when we can go straight?” But then, King chose to tease Gadis who never stopped talking. “Or do you still want to be alone with me?”“Don't be crazy, okay.” Gadis chose to turn around. Even so, her eyes returned to the same point; the point that made her decide to cancel the event of buying her favorite pudding at the corner of the mall not far from where she was standing now.Even though during lunch with King it was not enjoyable at all; because this man really tests a girl's patience, there is so

    “Your schedule is also busy, huh,” King said as Gadis sat not far from his desk. He deliberately called the girl for a follow-up discussion. No, King had no intention of raising the flag of war this early.For him, this Monday felt special. At least he went to the office with a sense of enthusiasm even though he had to struggle with Jakarta's traffic jams again. Why is that? Because today is payday. Yoo-hoo ... the salary that will be deposited in his account this afternoon is what King has been waiting for all month. Apart from wanting to make sure that the bonus in his account is correct, there is something he wants to buy right away.“Well, that's how it is,” said Gadis, sighing softly.“Are you unusually not excited? Why? Are you giving up because of your busy schedule?” asked King, giggling. He also held out a planner that he had just made at home related to the division of work in his work division. He had even adjusted it to fit Gadis' schedule. Some of his other subordinates t
