I REPAY MY HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL [38]
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

Raline gave her chest a little rub. She'd even finished the bottle of mineral water her assistant had given her, but it hadn't made her feel any less surprised about tonight. It was supposed to be a great night for her. The launch went well, she met up with some old friends, there weren't any problems, including a nice dinner together, and her assistant told her that the new product launch graph had stabilized and was sure to dominate the market.But there was one thing Raline had missed: the drama."Are you okay?" Viona asked, looking concerned. It was pretty unusual for SK Platinum's CEO to lose control like this. Her face also looked pale and dazed. "Your car is ready and waiting for you. We can drop you off right away.""What about Helena?" Raline asked. She realized she needed to think about the person she'd just met. "I can't leave without knowing how Helena is.""You can relax. Mr. Thomas picked up Miss Helena. You must not have noticed Mr. Thomas' arrival just before Miss Hele

"I just can't help myself anymore, Helena!" Thomas said, sounding frustrated. His eyes were red with irritation, and his hands were clenched into fists as he tried to stop himself from destroying everything around him. It was a way for him to channel his frustration over what had happened to his sister."I'm okay, Thomas," Helena said with a small smile. Although she had a long scratch on her forehead from an earlier impact, Helena was otherwise fine. There was no need to worry, including about her pregnancy. Helena was really lucky because when she woke up earlier, the only thing she was worried about was the condition of her fetus.Luckily, the doctor who examined her put Helena's mind at ease on that front."I know you want to vent your frustration on them," Thomas said, pulling out a chair at the edge of the bed. It made a rather rude sound, and Thomas's handsome face still looked fierce. It seemed like whoever interrupted him tonight would end up in trouble because Thomas was fee

Michael closed his eyes and tried to bear the heat and pain that spread across his face. He was pretty sure that the area where his father had hit him directly had left a reddish mark. Michael even thought he could feel the corners of his lips were cut by the blow."You idiot!" Tomy Andreas was livid. The tall, well-built man was taken aback by the unexpected news. "What were you doing on the show if you were caught off guard by Helena?""My apologies." That was all Michael could say in the moment. He owned up to his mistake. One of the interns at the hospital where he worked struck up a conversation with him. He wasn't paying much attention to Helena because he thought she was talking to the event owner."I don't even know how to handle Mr. Thomas in a situation like this!" Tommy was clearly frustrated. "Any word on Helena's condition?" he asked the people around him. Tommy wasn't one to shy away from holding anyone accountable when he felt they'd made a mistak

Tiara let out a few growls in frustration. She felt like smashing the desk with all the files just to get some frustration out. But Tiara managed to restrain herself. She tried to avoid making a scene in her room.She still couldn't get over what happened last night, including how Raline treated her. "How could she just kick me out like that?" She clenched her fist and brought it down on the table. It made quite a noise, but Tiara didn't care."Is that how you normally express your anger?"Tiara's voice was met with an annoyed chuckle. "What's Papa doing here?"Deny Jacob gave a little grin. "Just a heads-up, this is still my office, Tiara."Tiara let out a snort as she crossed her arms. "I don't want to go over what happened last night in detail. I was right, and I stand by that. If you want to blame me, I don't mind."Deny laughed. "I won't blame my favorite daughter." He opted to sit not far from Tiara's position. "Shouldn't you be focusing your energy on more productive things?"Ti

"I'm really sorry," Tiara said with a slight bow, indicating that she regretted what had happened that night. The first person she met was Raline, who was a step towards gaining trust in the socialite group. This was the perfect opportunity for Tiara to show her social status.It was tough, but Tiara knew she had to make a connection with Raline Kyler.Raline was looking at her, not quite ready to continue the conversation. If it weren't for her past relationship and Tiara's helpful presence when Raline needed support, she might have said no to the meeting. However, Raline was also curious about why Tiara had decided to meet with her, other than to apologize. Raline was actually quite wary of the woman, who had a slightly bad temper."I'm still not sure why you did that, Tiara," Raline said. She lifted her cup of lemon tea and took a sip, enjoying the flavor. "That was a pretty risky move.""I'm sorry," Tiara said again. "I got a bit carried away with my emotions.""Did you know Helen

"I'm sorry I didn't get to see you when you were in the hospital," Raline said. They met up at a café not far from the SK Platinum office. "After the product launch, I was pretty swamped.""No problem." Helena gave her best friend's hand a friendly pat and smiled. "I'm doing well. I'm sorry for worrying you.""But Tiara's actions were pretty outrageous," Raline grumbled. "At least the good news that you were released from the hospital three days ago was enough to put my mind at ease."Helena gave another nod. "You're really living up to your word as a major skincare manufacturer, huh.""You know exactly why I did the research and created these products, which are now being launched."They laughed together, but... Raline's laughter and smile started to fade, replaced by a sharp gaze directed at Helena. The woman she was talking to tried to keep her cool, suspecting there was more to the meeting than met the eye."Why have you not been honest with me about what you've been doing for the

Tiara's face was bright and happy. Her meeting with Raline really put her in a good mood. At least when Tiara left Raline, the woman looked indecisive. Oh... Tiara wouldn't miss the slightest chance to get Helena shunned by others, especially her best friend."Miss Tiara," one of the employees greeted her. "I've done your job - sent the bouquet to the Nakia Group headquarters. The bouquet is for Miss Helena.""You didn't forget to give her an invitation, did you?""No, Miss."Tiara nodded happily. "What's on my schedule today?"The question made the assistant take out her notepad and check again, lest she be misinformed. "You just need to check on the final preparations for the wedding.""Ah, right. My wedding is in two weeks." The twinkle in Tiara's eyes sparkled even more."And Miss Helena has accepted the invitation to have lunch with you tomorrow at the Grill House Café."Tiara's pace slowed slightly, but then her smile widened. "Good. You know what to do.""Yes, Miss."Not long af

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.
