"Thanks," Helena said to the guy who showed her to the lobby door. She didn't deserve to be treated like this, but without realizing it, they were chatting about light but pleasant things. Maybe it was Michael's friendly and polite manner that made it okay for Helena to talk about the hospital."I hope we can meet again soon."Helena let out a laugh. "Well, I'll let you get on with your day, Doctor Michael. "It was a pleasure talking with you."Michael nodded and gave a bright smile. Helena was driven away from the hospital area in a black luxury car.Michael didn't want to leave just yet, but he wanted to make sure the car she was in actually left the hospital.Michael was ready to get back to work, so he reached for his cell phone to give the person watching Helena a quick update."Yes, Mr. Michael. I'll stay away from Miss Helena's car and let you know what's going on as soon as I can.""Good." Michael ended the call. He gave the orders to his team pretty quickly. But before he got
"Tiara," Deny Jacob called out, sounding concerned. The maid at his house said that since she got back a few hours ago, Tiara hadn't left the room. As a father, especially when his daughter was pregnant, he couldn't just leave her to it. On top of that, Tiara didn't go to the office at all today, just to take care of her part.This clearly worried Deny."Yes, Pa?" Tiara came out with a big smile on her face. Her face looked normal, as if there was nothing to worry about."What's going on?"Tiara's brow furrowed in surprise. "What's the problem?" She was even surprised by her father's question just now."Is everything okay?" Deny asked, still looking at his daughter with surprise. "You haven't been at the office all day. Not even Arslan knows where you are."Tiara gave a big, warm smile. "Oh, Papa. There's no need to worry. I'm a bit tired, but I'm sure I'll feel much better after a good rest. On top of that, the doctor said I shouldn't push myself too hard. I've started to cut back on
Mirna abruptly set down her teacup. She was still thinking about what happened at the auction that night. On top of not expecting to meet Helena, the woman she'd taken for granted suddenly appeared and seemed to have more influence than she'd realized.Many people said that there was some truth to that figure, but there was still a hint of disbelief. Mirna didn't like holding on to these kinds of feelings. She needed to prove it to herself because when she spoke with Helena that night, Helena left a rather annoying impression on her."Tsk! Why are women still so annoying?"Meanwhile, Yori, who had just gotten back from somewhere, decided to sit next to her mother with a bit of a lazy look on his face."How's it going?" Mirna asked right away. Don't let Yori's return go to waste."I've been looking into Helena. Everyone I've spoken to has given the same answer. As it turns out, the rumors about the Edison family's youngest daughter are true. She doesn't socialize much. She's abroad, co
"I heard you didn't go to the office today, Helena?" Thomas said as he enjoyed the salad that was his dessert tonight."Yes, I'm seeing Doctor Adi today." Helena didn't keep her pregnancy a secret from her brother. "He said he's sorry he couldn't make it to see Papa."Thomas let out a soft sigh. "How long are you planning to keep this on the down low? You know, it's a bit of a burden for me.""I'm not asking you to overthink this," Helena said, looking at her brother with frustration. "After all, you're the one who decided to find out what happened to me, right? I didn't plan to tell anyone but Wilna.""You're such an annoying sister, Helena.""Thanks for the compliment." Helena went back to enjoying her meal. The potato soup with chunks of meat, made by the chef at home, tasted just right on her tongue. "This is really good. I like it."Helena looked over at Gina, who was standing nearby. Gina was always on hand to help Helena with whatever she needed at home. This also meant making
"My advice would be not to talk to Michael," Tiara said while making sure her dress fit correctly. The white dress with crystals on the chest looked really elegant and expensive. Tiara isn't interested in a simple wedding party. In particular, the dresses and decorations during the procession should be eye-catching and generate a lot of conversation for the next few days.Yori, who had been helping Tiara get dressed, looked surprised. "Why are you suggesting that?""Are you being foolish or are you just too naive?" Tiara let out a laugh. "Michael works at the hospital, right? Who reached out to him first? It was Helena. I caught them at the hospital, which means... Helena approached Michael on a whim. I'm sure your boyfriend couldn't possibly refuse, right?"Yori blinked in confusion, but then she noticed her hands were firmly clenched. "You're right. Why didn't I think of that?" The younger woman followed Tiara's lead and went over to the large mirror. The dress was quite heavy, but
Helena knew this annoying woman would be at the inauguration event. But Helena hadn't expected to run into Tiara so soon. And right in the middle of all the invited guests. Was Tiara trying to cause a scene on purpose? Should she confront her?"I'm curious, how did you end up at an event like this, Helena?"This time it was Yori, Helena's former sister-in-law, who spoke up. It was clear that she was with Tiara. And let's not forget the middle-aged woman standing not far from them. Didn't they seem like a group of women who liked to put others down?"Oh, Yori. We should have guessed that her arrival must have been supported by someone." Mirna said, folding her arms across her chest. "You want to greet the event owner? Hmph! She won't even recognize you!"Helena gave a small, amused smile. "As a guest, I should say hello to the event owner. At least in the name of courtesy."Tiara rolled her eyes in frustration. "You'd better leave, Helena. You're not exactly a looker.""Is Tiara Jacob
"What happened?" Tiara asked, looking a little confused. She was taken aback by what she saw, which was very unexpected. This also made her stop in the middle of the party crowd. She watched Helena and Raline walk away together, hand in hand. She was confused and annoyed. She never thought Helena and Raline would be so close. On top of that, Tiara understood Raline was known for being very selective about her friends."What's going on, Tiara?" Yori expressed her surprise. She hadn't expected to get a surprise like this either. Before they went into the inaugural event, Tiara told Yori not to worry about where Helena was. There's going to be a pleasant surprise that'll put Helena in an even tighter spot.On top of that, Yori is eager to reveal Helena's identity. Despite her seemingly innocent and simple demeanor, he believes she is not what she appears to be. Yori sees Helena as a cunning woman. She's good at positioning herself and using others to achieve her goals. When she thought a
As Helena thought would happen, Raline wasn't letting go easily. Helena was asked to be there with Raline for the whole inauguration, from the opening to the casual moments where Raline would be meeting lots of people. At the same time, Raline, with her rather loud mouth, made the unofficial announcement that Adelia Helena Edison was back."What do you think?" she asked, raising her eyebrows. She was trying to get Helena's attention, who seemed annoyed by Raline's behavior tonight."You said you wouldn't act childish, but why do I have to deal with this?" Helena snorted and folded her arms across her chest."What if they all know anyway?" Raline was a little surprised by Helena's unusual request. Raline said that if she wanted to be more private, then her privacy would be respected. But who wouldn't want to know the Edison family? Even without any reason to hide, lots of people are looking for Tehu.Unless they really limit access so that no one knows what happened. And Edison was mor
“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
Spending the weekend at your parents' house is fun. Nothing can match the taste of Gadis' mother's cooking. And one thing is for sure; her stomach is always full. Similar to her mother, Gadis loves to be in the kitchen. It feels like the greatest form of distraction that Gadis can do if she is there. Whatever she cooks, she will definitely get more appreciation.Especially with Manda and Lily joining her on weekends. They said, “Eating is free while there's still food left.”Fortunately, Maya never objected to the addition of two people who were the same age as her daughter.“If you're at home, you don't feel like going home,” said Lily as she lay down in the girl's room. They had just finished lunch with an appetizing side dish. Not to mention the snack that the girl had made that morning, making them reluctant to leave the table.“You have a really good life,” teased Gadis, not accepting it. "You don't help me either.”“We'll help you, okay,’ replied Manda, giggling. "Help you finis
“Mom,” called Gadis quietly. She was a bit hesitant to talk about the problem that had been going around in her head for the last three days. Anyway, since Gadis met Angga's family and all the pressure that came with it, Gadis started to think; was their relationship real and healthy?“Yes?” The woman, who immediately looked at her with tenderness, approached Gadis. She was sitting and looking at the lunch menu without interest. This was the second time she had seen Gadis looking unenthusiastic.Gadis' return last night brought real joy to Maya's face. She had prepared many dishes that she would cook with Gadis. Remembering that Gadis hadn't been home for two weeks because she was busy at work, Maya tried not to ask too many questions because Gadis needed to adjust to her activities at the office.Maya has not forgotten all the help her eldest daughter has given to the family economy. Maya is very proud of Gadis and her acceptance and what she has done so far. That's why when Gadis sa
During the two meetings that Gadis had with Angga's parents, which were fairly brief and only left an impression if they were both kind and friendly. But in this place, Gadis finally realized why Angga could be so selfish and not willing to lose at all.All of that was displayed in such a way, wrapped in an intimate dinner but according to Gadis, it was very different from the atmosphere of dinner at her house. Even though it was only a simple side dish and sometimes the portion of the side dish was shared so that everyone got the same amount, the feeling of family and intimacy and not wanting to leave immediately was really felt.Tonight, Gadis felt like leaving the table that served a variety of delicious dishes.“Here you go, sir. I've prepared it for you,” said Hilda, Angga's mother, who had been busy with her husband's plate. Meanwhile, her husband was busy with his cellphone and seemed to ignore the presence of his wife, children, and guests.No, Gadis did not expect a warm welc
“I don't need to congratulate you, am I right?” asked King, who was still folding her arms across her chest. He and Gadis had just left Mr. Ubud's room. The final decision regarding Gadis's involvement in the project that Leo was working on received a very good response from the client. They even wanted to meet Gadis in person because they felt that Gadis had a face that fit their brand quite well.However, to maintain the continuity of the collaboration between GreenTech and Velue Jewelry, Leo did not immediately agree to this. He also wanted to see the public's response to the new face that would be alongside Ransi. And there was a lot of conversation that took up a lot of concentration for Leo, Ubud, and King.Even though King's face looked unfriendly when Leo told him the news, the man tried to be professional when discussing the part he had to work on to support the ad so that it could attract many enthusiasts.“I don't need congratulations from you,” said Gadis, sneering. She gl
Panji laughed. “Don't call me bro, it feels really old.”The girl just grimaced. Following Panji's steps who walked first and in the eyes of the girl, the man protected her from the many crowds who wanted to immediately enter the elevator area. Once away, the area around them was much more spacious.“Do you like working at GreenTech?”Gadis's forehead wrinkled deeply. “Why did you ask that? Is there ... another meaning?”Panji laughed again. ”Nothing. I was just wondering if what I felt when I first started working at GreenTech was the same as you.”“Don't you like it, Panji?”“I do,” Panji replied enthusiastically. "Even though Mr. Raja and all his magical antics make us angry,”“Oh, my goodness. I thought I was the only one who felt that way," Gadis interjected immediately. ”I think he just can't help being annoying and irritating. I don't know why, but there are creatures like him in the world.”Panji couldn't stop laughing. “Crazy! You really make your own boss look bad.”“But it'
Even though she didn't tell her two friends about her plans to meet Angga, Gadis decided to meet him. One thing that Gadis always upholds in a relationship is respect. She didn't see it from Angga's side, who seemed arrogant when he asked her to come, but from Angga's parents, whom she had already known a few months after they had officially started dating.As if signaling that Angga was asking Gadis out in a relationship that was much more serious than just dating. At least that's what she thought at the time.Based on that, Gadis chose to wear an outfit that seemed modest, elegant, and suitable for wearing at the office. A shirt with a kimono accent on the chest in bright blue and a skirt wide enough for her to walk in. Not to forget low-heeled shoes to give a semi-formal yet casual look.As for the bag, what girl can only carry a small bag? She has a lot of stuff. This time she took the time to make a simple but enjoyable breakfast. She can retouch her hairstyle and make-up on her
