"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
"So, your main job is a doctor?" Helena enquired, savoring the blueberry cheesecake in front of her. She wasn't sure why she wanted this as a snack to go with her cup of chamomile tea this afternoon. Of course, there was a figure there that surprised Helena."You could say that." Michael gave a polite smile. He really put a good distance between himself and the woman in front of him to make her feel comfortable. "But if I need to take care of something that involves an important client, I can leave the hospital grounds.""Too bad." Helena took another bite of her cake. "You're pretty talented with a scalpel, though. A lot of people would like you to pick up hours at other hospitals, right?""You know a lot about me." Michael let out a short laugh."It's only natural that I know who met me. Twice by accident, and this time it was completely unexpected.""There's no way I can refuse Tommy Andreas's orders. "He's pretty intimidating, so I'd better not resist his orders," Michael joked to
"So, what brings you to my office, Mr. Tan?" Helena asked, her voice calm. In front of her was a stack of files that Wilna had given her as a reference for their discussion. But Helena wasn't interested in discussing the current production. She was waiting for the right moment to grill Arslan about his work.The woman tried to stay calm and put on her best smile as she faced Arslan, who was really testing her patience. Sometimes she thought, "How could I have been so stupid to give my heart to a man I didn't know at all?"He's a cunning guy who's always trying to be at the top. He plays the part of needing support well, but he also puts pressure on you that you can't ignore."Is my visit inconvenient for you, Ms. Edison?" Arslan took a moment to straighten his back. Since his ex-wife showed up at the meeting, he hadn't looked away. Helena looked different than he remembered. After a while, Arslan started to doubt Helena's identity. In the end, though, he had to accept that the woman i
"Thank you for visiting." Helena was just going to show Arslan out to the door of her meeting room. Not long after Michael got there, Arslan said he had to leave. He said he had some urgent business to take care of.However, Helena thought it was just an excuse Arslan could use. Since then, her ex-husband had been keeping a close eye on Michael. It seemed like the man with the glasses was trying to intimidate people.As it turned out, Helena said that Arslan had ended up playing the role of the ultimate bully when Helena had a lot to do that day."I hope you can change your mind about my invitation.""Spend lunch or dinner with you?" Helena asked with a smile. "I don't want to be ambushed by someone who suddenly shows up. And then make a story with a really horrible headline."Arslan couldn't help but laugh along at the remark, which was accompanied by a dismissive laugh. "You really want a private atmosphere? Just let me know when you have a moment, and I'll make the arrangements. "N
"This is the latest report from our Quality Control department, Helena." Wilna quickly handed her the file that had just come out of the printer. It wasn't much, but what was on it was the most important part Helena needed to know."They work so fast." Helena laughed between her compliments. "I wonder what Arslan will say when he finds out there's a surprise inspection.""Maybe a tantrum?" Wilna added her own amused giggle. "That guy is really quite annoying, Helena. I suppose his reason for coming here wasn't just to discuss production and cooperation with Nakia, but to flirt with you as well.""Let it be." Helena adjusted her glasses. "I don't care what he does. The more he tried to get closer, the more I held on to him so he wouldn't let go. And when he realizes he's the one who's trapped, he won't be able to escape.""You're terrible, Helena." Wilna sat down in one of the chairs in front of Helena's desk. It was just a short distance from Helena's large desk, which was covered with
"Is something on your mind?" Tiara asked, looking curious. Since her fiancé picked her up in the office lobby, he'd been looking a bit burdened. On the way home, Arslan didn't say much. He just went along with all of Tiara's complaints. Normally, even though his tone was a bit annoying, Tiara always knew that Arslan was listening to her.But this time, Arslan was acting differently. Even after they got to the Tan family house, where Mirna and Yori had made a special dinner, Arslan still looked a bit out of place."Honey, Ar... Arslan."Arslan blinked in response to Tiara's voice. Then he looked at the person he was talking to, who had been standing close by. From the look in Tiara's eyes, Arslan could tell she wanted an explanation. Maybe it was because he'd been so focused on the production issue that suddenly fell apart."Nothing." Arslan gave a little smile, trying to calm Tiara down a bit. Try not to let on to his future wife about what happened at Intel Corp. Although Arslan thou
That morning, sunlight broke through the gap in Olin's curtains. The girl squirmed quietly on the bed, still half sleepy. But her mind immediately recalled last night's conversation with her father.Her father, Michael Andreas, spoke in a soft yet firm tone. "Olin, your Mommy only wants what's best for you. Sometimes her ways may seem harsh, but that's because she cares. You also have to learn to listen more, not just react."Those words rang in her mind, making her feelings of guilt even stronger. Olin let out a long sigh, then got up from the bed. She looked at her reflection in the mirror.“Alright, today I have to fix it,” she muttered as she put on her school uniform.After tidying up, she left her room and went straight to the kitchen. There, her mother Helena was busy preparing breakfast. The woman's face looked calm, albeit a little tired.Olin paused for a moment at the doorway, feeling nervous. But she gathered her courage, walked slowly, and hugged her mother from behind.“
“I'm home,” Olin said as he confirmed the people around her. Apart from the fact that he was a little late, Olin didn't want to face her mother directly yet. Somehow she felt that, whatever happened at school, her mother already knew about it.He had to be prepared in case she lectured him.“Looks like Mommy's not home yet,” she said with a sigh of relief. She had checked some of the rooms where her mother often stayed, especially the reading room. And she didn't find her mother there. This meant... for the time being Olin was safe.Unfortunately...“What are you looking for?”Her mother came out from the other room, looking at her only daughter in surprise.“Nothing.” Olin grinned widely. “Good afternoon, my dear mother.” She immediately rushed to hug her mother. But Helena just clucked and yelled at her. “It hurts, Mom! Ugh! What did I do wrong?”“Wait for me over there,” Helena pointed to the lounge not far from their current position.“Mom,” Olin said in a pleading voice. She knew
“Gosh, why is that guy so annoying? Why not just tell me his name? What's so hard?” grumbled Olin as he headed to his classroom. He had to pull himself together quickly. there were still at least a few class hours before recess rang.Olin entered the classroom with a leisurely pace, his hands still busy adjusting the strap of his bag that was a little loose. His gaze swept the entire room, making sure the atmosphere was back to normal. There were no more teachers interrogating him or suspicious stares like in the teacher's lounge earlier.“What a long time!” Jihan immediately approached Olin with a cheerful smile. “Where have you been? The second lesson bell is about to ring, you know!”Olin smiled slightly. “To the health room. My hand needs more attention.”Jihan looked at Olin's hand, which had been neatly wrapped with a fresh bandage. “Are you okay?”“As you can see, I'm still alive,” Olin said casually as he sat on his stool. He took out a notebook from his bag and looked at Jiha
After leaving the teacher's room, Olin let out a long sigh. He knew that the problem was not completely solved. But for now, he felt quite relieved. There was still some time before the first lesson ended, and his hand was starting to feel a little sore from the bandage that had started to come loose.“I forgot to change it this morning,” Olin muttered as he looked down at his hand. With a leisurely pace, he decided to head towards the medical room.The school hallway was quite quiet, with only the occasional sound of teachers teaching from the classroom. But when Olin passed the student council room, his steps stopped. The door of the room was open, and the voices of several people having a discussion could be heard clearly.“This year's spring festival needs to be more festive than last year's,” a woman's stern voice echoed from inside the room.“We need more sponsors,” said a man. “The funds available now are only enough for basic decorations. If we want a bigger stage, it's imposs
“I will meet that young man later. I need to get my business done this time,” Olin said with a low grumble. There was no other choice but to step towards the teacher's office. He glanced at the smartwatch in his hand. Not a single message had come in yet, indicating that the person he relied on could solve all his problems today.Olin stepped into the teacher's room with a calm face, barely even showing the slightest worry. In his heart, he had already guessed what would happen. The three girls must have reached the teacher's room first and reported what happened. And this time, they didn't just play with words like before, but brought their parents to urge the school.“I wonder what they said as a form of complaint, huh?” asked Olin with a giggle. He couldn't imagine how the three of them would look when they complained. Either to their parents or to their teacher this morning.At the door, Olin paused, took a deep breath, and smiled a little. “Relax, Olin. It's just a small problem.
“What on earth are you doing, Olin?” asked Helena with a half frustrated sigh. She massaged her temples in disbelief at what Olin had done. When her only child came home, his uniform was dirty. His hands had plaster on them in several places. Not to mention his hair was sticking up in a mess.“Nothing,” Olin replied with a wide grin. “Let's just say I fell down.”“How can that be?” snapped Helena, who was trying her best to be patient with the 15-year-old girl. Olin was a gentle child who disliked excessive activity outside. Let alone playing in the mud, even getting her uniform a little dirty, Olin didn't like it. But... I don't know what made the girl change.Was the puberty of today's teenagers very different from what Helena had experienced? The woman really couldn't understand why times were moving so fast. She could not keep up except to try to understand and assist Olin as best she could.“Mommy doesn't need to be angry.” Olin chuckled. “If Grandma Vera says, Mommy will get pre
Olin let out a rough sigh. His knuckles hurt and looked red. There were scratches on his palms but he did not care. His sharp eyes gazed at his three opponents who were down and moaning in pain.“Damn, I should have been more gentle,” he grumbled. She slightly twisted her wrist which was in a bit of pain. What was making her feel this much pain? Oh... the blow he gave the red-haired girl felt too tight.Today should have gone on as usual. There was no need to dirty his hands and make a slight injury. What would she give as an excuse to her mother and father later? Not to mention his aunt who was very fussy but eager to support him-if she knew what was happening, Olin was one hundred percent sure that tomorrow... would be a very horrendous day at school.“I wish you hadn't messed with me,” muttered Olin as he took one more look at the faces he had battered. “You're wasting my time.” He sat down on one of the piles of unused items around the back of the warehouse.Olin reached under her
The faint morning sun shone through the gap in the bars, illuminating the small room where Tiara Jacob sat. Her face looked calm, but her eyes held a lot of burden. Today, she was going to meet Luna, the aunt she had come to rely on since her life changed completely. If not for Luna Jacob's compassion, who knows what would have happened to Andy. Just thinking about it made Tiara uneasy. She no longer wants anything to do with her ex-husband; Arslan Tan. After what he did and how selfish Arslan was towards Tiara and Andy.They divorced when Andy was one year old. Tiara took care of everything from prison, although initially Arslan didn't accept it but Tiara didn't care. He was patient enough and gave a lot of leeway to their relationship.Tiara didn't even bother to contact Tan's family to ask for help looking after Andy. The latest news Tiara heard was that they were heavily in debt and struggling to support themselves. So how could they support Andy properly?And Tiara's biggest cons
“How did you meet the Edison family at Andy's school? Don't they have references to schools that are much better than Bright Star Academy?” Luna massaged her temples tiredly.Andy had been in his room for some time. Luna felt guilty for being late picking up the boy. But what the heck, she had to take care of the cake shop she managed.“But they don't recognize me,” Luna muttered immediately. “That's much better for us.”“Grandma,” called Andy carrying his school bag. “Help me with my homework.”“Come here.” Luna patted the seat at her side. “I'll come with you to do your homework.”That evening, Luna sat in the living room watching Andy busy with his homework. The boy, though only seven years old, looked so serious. Luna couldn't stop being grateful for Andy's good growth, though there were many worries she kept in her heart. One of them was Andy's encounter with a little girl at the school event this afternoon.Luna knew who the Edison family was. Their name had caused a stir with t
