"How's it going?" Deny Jacob asked, with a look that still showed emotion. What happened with Intel and what that could mean for the company because of what happened yesterday could have a big impact."We should have the repair results for you tomorrow, Mr. Deny." Arslan tried to stay calm. "I've asked the production manager to bring the repair samples over right away and take another look so we can avoid any problems.""What about the Cyber product? Everything's fine, right?""Yes," Arslan replied right away. "The shipment to the Cyber warehouse is on track to arrive today as scheduled. The samples they're testing came through just fine. I'm meeting with Mr. Baron tomorrow. We'll be discussing the results of products with Intel technology that are bound to catch a lot of people's attention." He gave a little smile that seemed to say he was happy with the results of this work."Good. Keep up the good work. I think you should also visit Nakia. Try to show you're sorry for what you did w
"Should we really go to the office?" Michael asked again. He had to make sure his client was happy with the plan. Since her meeting with Tiara Jacob, Helena's been a bit more down than usual, even though she's not sure what was discussed."Yes, I've got something to talk over with Wilna." Helena just gave the matter a quick look and then went back to watching the road. The route was nice and free flowing, with minimal traffic, so the journey was smooth and fast."Okay." That was all Michael could say on the matter.While Helena still chose to stay quiet. There was nothing to worry about from the meeting, but it was just that... Helena felt a bit tired. Maybe it was because Tiara's energy was too negative, which made Helena feel drained. On top of that, she was serving Tiara's words, which sometimes went a bit far.Even so, Helena knew why Tiara wanted to meet with her. On top of that, Tiara wanted to talk about her relationship with Arslan, which Helena shouldn't get involved in. Give
Nakia was surprised when a rather eccentric-looking man came into his office. He was wearing a black hoodie, slightly shabby jeans, and clearly visible panda eyes with a messy orange hair tie."Excuse me, can I see your ID?" a security guard stopped the eccentric man in his tracks. Even so, the man gave a little smile. He pulled out his wallet and ID."I'd like to see Helena. Could you please give her a call right away?"The security guard looked at the man with even more suspicion. He looked the man over, checking his ID and appearance. He felt like this guy was out of place. He was a very different type of person. The man's appearance on the card in his hand was very neat. He looked fit and healthy, but in front of him, he looked like someone who hadn't taken care of himself in a week."Excuse me, do you have an appointment scheduled?""Let's just say, Ron Weasley came by for a visit."The clerk gave a little smirk. "You're not one of the Harry Potter actors, are you?"The man with
Today's the day. Her ex-husband's wedding is taking place. From the moment she woke up, Helena felt like herself. She felt no burden at all, not even a sense of sadness or disappointment. Maybe it was because of all the disappointment and heartache, plus what Arslan and Tiara did to her, that Helena just wasn't in the mood for love with Arslan anymore.After all, why should she hold on to it? While the man made the decision to remove Helena from his life and choose another woman who could support his success.Helena smiled as she thought back to her past."Ready to go?" Wilna came in without knocking on Helena's bedroom door. The small box held the blood-red diamond necklace Helena had won at an auction a few months ago. The black, crystal-studded dress that hugged Helena's body in a flattering way, combined with the strikingly colored necklace, made the woman look stunning even before she arrived at the party."Why am I not ready?" Helena let out a chuckle. "Could you put the necklac
"Please have a seat." Michael got one of the chairs in the corner. It was a bit hidden from the guests, quiet, and would certainly help the woman in front of Michael relax. "Can I get you something hot to drink?""You pay too much attention to me, Michael." Helena laughed, but she couldn't resist what Michael was doing to her. "I just need to take a seat." I feel like my pregnancy is starting to take over.""I don't think it's just your pregnancy, Helena. You've been busy with Nakia for almost two weeks, and sometimes you come home tired. That kind of thing can also affect your pregnancy." Michael went on at length and chose to sit not far from Helena's position. "You should try to take it easy at the office, Helena."Helena looked at the man sitting close by and laughed. "Are you concerned about me?""No." Michael looked around to see if there was anything he could do to help Helena. "I think there's lemon tea available, or would you like something refreshing?"Helena decided to disr
"What happened to me?" Helena inquired quietly. She tried to get up, and Michael helped her a little."You passed out. You're currently in the hospital and under the care of Dr. Adi."Helena took a moment to close her eyes, still feeling a bit dizzy. Michael's explanation sounded like a noisy bee. Then she started to remember what had caused this. "My baby!" she exclaimed, rubbing her stomach, which she could feel was a little more rounded than usual. "How's my pregnancy going?""I've called Doctor Adi, Helena." Michael moved a little closer to Helena. He wasn't sure where he got the courage from, but he reached out and brushed the strands of Helena's hair that were touching his face. As a result, the woman looked at Michael with a look of disbelief."There's no need to worry. Your pregnancy is fine, but it would be good to hear what Doctor Adi has to say."Helena blinked a few times. She wasn't sure whether to remove the hand that was casually touching her hair. Or just let it go bec
On his way to Nakia's office, Arslan was more focused on his cell phone. The report Rudi gave him was a real eye-opener. The man was so shocked by what he saw on the screen that his heart stopped beating for a second.[Rudi: Miss Helena is about 18 to 19 weeks pregnant, Mr. Arslan. The baby is doing well, but her doctor sometimes suggests she take it easy.Just to let you know, the ultrasound results I got were from last month's examination, sir. I'm sending you some photos and info from the hospital. Miss Helena is in the heavily guarded VVIP room, and we've confirmed that she's the youngest daughter of the Edison family. She's only visible to those who are interested.]The report that Rudi provided was quite detailed, and the photos that were listed led Arslan to conclude that this is what had happened. The truth that was hidden behind it. All the pieces of the puzzle started to fit together. Arslan's memory of his ex-wife's figure was becoming more detailed, particularly noting cha
Wilna was taken aback. For the words she had just heard, which Arslan Tan had uttered so lightly. "What did you say?" Wilna tried to hold back her laughter and the urge to call security. It was tough for Wilna to stay calm in the face of a guy like Arslan. "Mr. Arslan, I'm not sure where you got your information about Helena's condition. I seriously doubt that Helena would ever go back to someone like you, especially after everything you did to her."Arslan chuckled, not fazed by Wilna's serious tone. "Oh, come on, Wilna. You know as well as I do that Helena is a gentle woman. I'm sure she would have thought of her son. No mother would let her child grow up without a father, right?"Wilna held back from cursing the man in front of her. Her hands were already clenched so tightly that her knuckles were turning white as her anger began to rise. She wanted to give the guy a piece of her mind so badly that he would immediately zip it.In the end, Wilna let out a little chuckle. "Do you rea
“How was your meeting with Angga?” asked Lily, raising an eyebrow. Teasing Gadis, who had met her boyfriend, was the latest fad for the girl who loved white. Especially since Gadis and Angga had to do long-distance dating since returning from Solo. If Gadis said so, that was the risk of being with a prospective doctor.They were at a ramen shop in Bintaro Plaza. Rather than spending the weekend sulking, when Lily invited her out for a moment to the mall area closest to their dorm, Gadis just agreed. Besides, she had nothing to do this afternoon. Considering that her mood was ruined this morning, she was also curious about the afternoon but didn't want to leave the room, so while Gadis' mood was improving a bit, it would be better if she relieved her fatigue a little.“That's how it is,” said Gadis as she took a big bite of her ice cream spoon. Luckily for them, even though it was the weekend, the mall wasn't that crowded. Only a handful of peopl
Angga stared at the food box that Gadis handed him. The twinkle in the eyes of the girl he had been dating for two years was really happy. She hoped Angga might give a little compliment or words that would make Gadis feel good. But to be honest, Angga didn't like it. At all.Let alone like it, he's not even interested in tasting it. It's not a matter of the side dish and what is presented in this neatly and beautifully arranged box. But ... he's like a kindergartner!“I've told you this before, haven't I?” Angga closed the food box that Gadis had given him. He sighed deeply as he stared at Gadis with a look of dislike. “I'm not a kindergarten kid you serve food like this to.”“But it's cute, you know.” The girl opened the returned box again. "Even though it looks like a kindergarten kid, it tastes good. You try it first, Dear," said Gadis as she took one of the slices of meat that she had stir-fried with bulgogi soy sauce. It tasted very tempting to the girl but ...“You eat it yourse
All Gadis could do was take out her earphones and put them on. She played her favorite song and enjoyed the journey to an area where almost all of Jakarta's residents gathered. She enjoyed the weekend with sports and culinary hunting in the available places.Until finally, they arrived at the Grand Indonesia parking lot. They chose to park behind the mall building, which stands strong, hiding the splendor that is one of Jakarta's images: the Grand Indonesia Mall.“We're going straight there, Doctor Angga,” said Amel with burning enthusiasm. ”See you again.”“Be careful. Let me know if anything happens.” Angga smiled slightly, letting the two noisy women leave him. At the hospital, both Amel and Rara were known as cheerful women. There was always something to talk about that made the atmosphere at the hospital even more lively, especially on night shifts. If they were just on duty without any conversation, they could be tempted by things that happened beyond reason.Gadis didn't care a
Anyway, today Gadis is happy. She usually greets the weekend by sleeping in and lazing around even though she eventually cleans up, but this week she deliberately got up early. She has been busy since she opened her eyes and glanced at the wall of her rent house. She has also told her parents that her return this week has been delayed.“I want to meet Angga. While he's at a seminar in Jakarta,” said Gadis cheerfully. It was a Friday evening when Gadis was waiting for the bus. At the very least, her parents had to get some news about her not being able to go home this week.“Oh, that's good. Why wasn't he just invited home? While he's in Jakarta?” At the other end, Gadis's mother was also excited.The girl pouted but luckily their conversation was over the phone so her mother didn't need to see the look on the girl's face that she didn't really like her mother's response. Her mother should have understood Gadis also wanted to spend time with Angga. Longing is hard, to quote the words o
“Wow, if this goes on I could get fat,” said Gadis, chuckling. On her desk were several bengbeng, chocolate-layered biscuits, or other snacks as part of the payment for the Shoes bet. Even though Gadis had not guessed the color that King would wear this morning.The man didn't do anything. Most of the time, King always went to Mr. Ubud's room, not knowing what they were talking about. Maybe it had something to do with his 1 billion project. Gadis doesn't cared even though she was driving all night last night, occasionally listening to King argue and express his opinion.What King said about the meeting was true. And most of the time King communicated in English, which the man spoke so fluently. It didn't seem like he needed to think long to find the right word. King was indeed good at negotiating.“Exciting, huh?” asked Tania, which surprised the girl. But then she laughed.“Yes, you know. Exciting.”“Every
Sleeping in an emotional state is not good. The heart is not too calm and sleep is not restful. Gadis felt it all until she woke up early in the morning. Her look was still wrinkled, her face was frowning and actually there was no desire in her heart to work.But ...“I'm not a child. If I take a sudden leave today, Kingkong will definitely win. Besides, why is his damn attitude getting worse every day? He just uses his authority as a boss at will.” She also pulled back the covers. The clock on the wall of her room showed only 4 a.m., but Gadis was used to getting up that early.First, she made her own lunch and packed a lunch. During her college years, she never forgot to bring lunch from home. Besides, she wouldn't waste the opportunity if, when making certain snacks, there were always college friends who ordered. It was not a bad idea to have extra snacks or money that could be saved to ease her college expenses.Secondly, she liked buy sna
“A billion?” Mario repeated with wide eyes in disbelief. ‘Using ZoomMeet?’ He folded his arms across his chest. ‘Can you not make so many excuses if you really want to be with Pasaraya? It's okay with me too." Mario chuckled. ”Sooner or later, I'll find out who you're really dating.”It felt like King didn't just want to swear, but to hit Mario on the head with the placemat in front of him. Unfortunately, if he did that, his mother could go on a rampage like a lion.“Whatever.” King shrugged. ”You can believe it or not, it's up to you.”Mario still showed a wide grin. “Look, Mr. King, you're the one who doesn't want to lose.” He moved his dining chair closer to King's. Dinner was over, but Priska wouldn't let them leave. Because of what?As soon as King left his chair, he would definitely go into the room. And Priska couldn't interrogate and listen to what Mario had to say. She could also find out what really happened. Priska couldn't miss out on news like this, especially regarding t
“Dis,” Lily called, looking at her best friend with concern. The fried rice that she had been craving to eat together no longer tasted good. Not because she hadn't eaten it, but... “You'll choke if you eat it like that.”“Danger, girl.” Manda warned. “Have a drink first.” She offered the cold water that Manda had just taken out of the refrigerator. “You've been grumbling all this time. You'll get old before you know how to taste!”“I'm getting old,” said Gadis immediately at the glass that Manda had just offered. she also tried to swallow her fried rice even though it was a bit difficult. one sip, the water in the glass ran aground. leaving her lips looking wet. her portion of fried rice was already a little left. not until two or three mouthfuls, Gadis' portion was only left in its place.“If that happens, you're blaming Kingkong's existence!” Gadis' eyes looked like they were emitting fire. Her breathing was roaring with displeasure, plus her hands were clenched into fists indicatin
Lily and Manda had just arrived at the living room of the rent house where Gadis lived. Luckily, Gadis could find a comfortable and cheap place. The price that Gadis paid every month was the same as the rent that Lily and Manda paid at the rent house where they lived. But the atmosphere and facilities were very different. It was more comfortable and enjoyable to live at Gadis's rent house.No wonder the rooms there are always full. And just when Gadis needed it, one of the residents at number 54 moved out. She said she was getting married and moving with her husband out of town.“Ugh, it's so nice to live here,” said Manda as she folded her arms across her chest. In front of them, there were already three servings of fried rice. Gadis wanted to have dinner together but the menu Lily chose was fried rice complete with sunny side up eggs. For Gadis, the pickles were plentiful.“Yes. I'm jealous too. Anyway, if anyone moves out again, I'll move he
