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
This is already the second day Helena has been allowed to return home. However, Helena was not allowed to work or do any serious activities. If that was violated, it wasn't just Wilna or Thomas who scolded her. Thomas's threat of telling their father the truth about Helena's situation made Helena think a hundred times.Not yet.Helena didn't want to talk about the household drama and her pregnancy until the breaking point where she repaid all Arslan's behaviors. Especially to Nakia. Maybe if Helena's household affairs and this pregnancy, could be discussed in a more relaxed situation. But Nakia's problems with Intel Corp cannot be ignored.Hanry Edison had trusted group's Nakia with all his heart to Helena and she wouldn't betray her father's trust. She would never let Nakia be in a position of concern.“The garden in this house is really well cared for.”That remark made Helena turn her head. The woman was sitting on the garden bench at the back of the house. Enjoying the breeze that
Wilna made sure that none of today's reports were missed. If there was one report from one of the departments that was important enough to be discussed but accidentally missed, her work tomorrow would be even more piled up. Plus tomorrow she will have a rather annoying guest; Vladimir Erick.Helena's friend and starting tomorrow will be an important part of the Nakia Group. Who knows how Helena will persuade the eccentric man to want to work under the Nakia Group. Even so Wilna was grateful if Nakia's problem could be topped immediately even though it required extra attention, but the woman believed that no one would expect if the item could be repaired.“You're not done yet?” asked Thomas as he folded his arms across his chest. He leaned slightly against the doorway of Wilna's workroom.“I had to make sure there were no reports left behind.” Wilna spoke without needing to see who her visitor was this afternoon. She had enough of a headache with all the events in this room. Especially
Once again Helena examined the results of the review of the unit that Erick's latest program had incorporated. As well as the results of the presentation from the team Helena had after testing on a larger scale of improvement. For this matter, Helena would not miss the description and results that would later be released to the market. Don't let Helena's expectations regarding this improvement fail in the middle of the road.The reality?“This is way beyond my expectations,” Helena said with a big smile. “Oh my gosh. I really must thank Erick.”Wilna, who had been sitting beside Helena, listening to all the explanations, also couldn't believe what the team was saying. “You're right, Helena. At least we can be saved.”Helena laughed at that. “Continue the repair process. Are there any more problems during the delivery period? For the units that just entered the warehouse, it's certainly the batch that Quality Control asked Intel Corp to repair, right?”“You're right, Ms. Helena,” Produ
“What happened to you?” asked Deny Jacob with an incredulous look. This morning was their last day at Deny Jacob's house. Arslan will take his wife to live with his family. It's a bit hard, but for parents whose children are married, it's better if they live separately.Arslan has also provided a comfortable and decent house for them to live in even though he still lives with his mother and younger sister. Besides, in a pregnant state like this, it would be better if Tiara had someone to watch over her. Tiara's mother had passed away a long time ago and Deny thought that a woman with experience in children, especially when Tiara was going to give birth to a grandchild for him, wouldn't be a problem if they lived together.Arslan rubbed the corner of his lip where the wound had visibly dried up, trying to smile a little. “No big problem, Pa.” Since Arslan officially married Tiara, his nickname for Deny Jacob had changed to 'Papa'. Technically, he
“Mom,” Arslan sighed tiredly, he rubbed part of his face as a sign of being too frustrated with his mother's attitude. Since his arrival this afternoon with Tiara, when the mother saw how his face not only hurt the corners of his lips, but Mirna had also never stopped the concern wrapped in worry for him.“I'm okay. It's just a small wound. Don't worry too much.” These words were something Arslan had said to his mother no matter how many times, but Mirna continued to give him a worried look as if it was just a lie.“Don't you know something, Tiara?” asked Mirna who was now staring at her daughter-in-law. In the middle of the dinner that was almost finished, Tiara who came earlier looked ordinary. As if what Arslan experienced was a normal thing.While in Mirna's eyes, Arslan was injured or involved in terrible things that used physical violence that rarely happened. Therefore, it was natural for Mirna to feel that something bi
“Since when have you two been close?” asked Wilna as she handed Helena a cup of warm milk. The question made Helena look at Wilna with a surprised look.“Who are you talking about?”Wilna scowled in annoyance. She took a seat next to Helena. Tonight, she deliberately stayed at Helena's house. Their discussion about the Cyber launching event was long enough to last past dinner time. In addition, Thomas and Erick also planned about Nakia's new product launch which had to be different from what had been done before.Especially on the product and technology part that Erick had updated.“I won't repeat the question, Helena.” Wilna straightened her legs and leaned back comfortably.“How about you?" Helena tasted the milk Wilna brought, since the flavor was acceptable to her, it didn't take long for Helena to finish it. “Is this the milk Gina often makes?”Wilna shook her head and answered. “This is the milk Michael brought for you. He found a suitable pregnancy milk for you under Doctor Adi
"I bet Mr. King wears red.""I'll wear white.""Um... I'm gray.""Oh, obviously I bet the King wears the green and white army color of his new collection.""No, I bet he wears his black Jordan's."The newly arrived girl somewhat strangely heard the voices of the staff gathered in one corner near her division."Morning, Gadis," Tania greeted her cheerfully. "Sit here. What did you bring for breakfast?"Gadis grinned. "Today I brought fish rolls and potatoes, Sis. What did you buy in the basement?"At least Gadis didn't run out of things to talk about and wasn't too awkward even though it had been almost a week since she worked at GreenTech."Chicken porridge." Tania smiled widely. "Uh, do you want to join the bet?""Huh?" The girl blinked in disbelief. "Bet? Gamble?""Ih, no." Tania dragged Gadis away immediately. "We're not gambling like you think."Gadis was brought to the group of people who had been talking about various colors. I don't know what that meant, but it was clear that t
Weak, tired, lethargic, sluggish, and powerless. That's how Gadis felt when she came home from work today. Her steps were dragging, and her walk was lackluster. Apart from waiting too long for the busway, she also still couldn't get rid of her annoyance at the attitude of an annoying man named King Aziz."Damn it, Kingkong," grumbled Gadis. "You'll see, I'll get back at him!"It was Gadis' habit to retaliate against any annoying treatment she received from King. But this time, it was work-related, which made her a little cautious. Although during the discussion with Mr. Ubud earlier, King occasionally covered up the mistakes that Gadis made but ..."I'm the new staff. Why should I be left outside the office at all. All day long anyway!" Gadis stomped her foot. She didn't care if it hurt because today, she was wearing flat shoes instead of her favorite sneakers. "Who should I ask if there's something questionable to be inputted. When there's an error? Why do they all fall on me?"The s
"You are doing this part," King said without looking at the girl who was still making a report in the form of a client progress chart requested by King. "Don't miss anything. Pay close attention to the ups and downs of the numbers, because they can be used for our analysis."The girl spluttered. "Yes, I know." Her hand slightly stopped typing. "What else should I learn?""This one. But fast, not slow. I don't like staff who are slow to think."Gadis felt like pinching or even hitting the head of the man who was now near her. Although he looked serious, King Aziz was still the most annoying person in the world. There was still that silly grin that she couldn't forget."Just put it down. After inputting this part, I will study it immediately.""Do it now. This chart can be postponed for a while."Gadis immediately looked sarcastically at King who spoke innocently just now. "What did you say? Now? You also said to input this part of the chart now. And right now, you need me to learn this
The girl's prayer this morning was quite long, if measured by the Jakarta Bogor KRL, it might be equal. It's nothing, there are so many hopes that Gadis said and asked so much that God would grant them all. On this day too. So that Gadis doesn't lose her mood because today, she can't turn around.Last night, when she couldn't sleep, she scrolled through the reels on IG. She found one caption that made her realize that if she gives in to the situation tomorrow, it means she's lost. Even though the draft of the resignation letter has been made, it only needs to be printed and signed and then submitted to Mr. Ubud. Even though it was only a day, Gadis felt lucky to have the opportunity to be the fastest working employee at GreenTech."I can't lose," she said with enthusiasm. "I shouldn't have been surprised by Kingkong's behavior, right? Why should I be surprised now?" She quickly sat on the edge of the bed. "I won't resign for such a ridiculous reason. I'll resign if my husband makes su
"Hei!" Manda grimaced and cringed at the way Gadis ate. It was nothing if she choked and they went to the hospital and then she made a report to the doctor: "Sorry, Doc. My friend choked on a jumbo sausage."It wouldn't be fun.If she choked on another sausage, she might still be able to understand. But this..."Dis, you can be more careful when you eat, right?" asked Lily as she held out a piece of tissue. "Your mouth is full of sauce."But Gadis didn't care. She ate even more voraciously. The grilled sausage, which she ordered three servings of, was already gone. Maybe only the sauce and mayonnaise were left. "I still want to eat." The girl quickly downed the sweet-iced tea she ordered. "I need to eat a lot."Manda patted her forehead; Lily could only shake her head in surprise. Especially seeing Gadis walking to another food booth. This time, it was the Takoyaki booth. She needed a serving of the mix with the maximum spicy level."What's wrong with her?" asked Manda curiously."I d
Hi readers.I don't know if you're still missing Helena's story or if you're already bored. But honestly, I'd like a change of pace regarding the plot. I happen to like enemy to lover plots. So I just uploaded it here. Hope you guys will accept it. And have you read the story of Victoria helping the paralyzed Mr. Logan? I've uploaded the other work for their story.****"Mom, I'm leaving for work today. Please pray that my work goes well," said Gadis before leaving the boarding house she had been staying in not long ago. The atmosphere in the boarding house corridor was quiet and there were only slippers on each door. A sign that the boarders were not awake yet.Maybe it's still morning. The girl said to herself. Glancing at the clock in her hand, it was still 5:45. She was too diligent to welcome the day but... it was her big day! The first day of work after two months of unemployment and lazing around at her mother's house."Yes, you be careful. Mommy wishes you a good job. Cheer up
The school hall was filled with the noise of the students who were busy preparing for Olin's farewell event. That day, Olin stood in the center of the hall in his neat school uniform. Although he tried to smile, the heaviness of leaving this place was clear on his face.“Lin, are you sure you want to go?” Jihan stood beside him, her eyes glazed over. “You know we're all not willing to let you go.”Olin took a deep breath, then looked at his best friend. “Jihan, I have to go. I can't stay here.”“Why not? We can face this together. You don't have to run away from everything.”Olin smiled, but didn't answer. He knew this decision was the best for him and for his family.One by one, his friends came up to Olin, saying goodbye. Adel, Maria, and Rihanna had been crying since the beginning of the show.“We'll miss your chatty voice in class,” Adel said as she wiped away her tears.
“Dad, I need to talk,” Olin's voice was soft but full of anxiety. She stood in the doorway of her father's study. Michael, who was busy reading a document, looked at his daughter. There was something in her tone of voice that made Michael immediately close the document and wave a hand, inviting her in.“Sure, honey. What's wrong? Sit here,” he said, pointing to the chair in front of him.Olin stepped in slowly, sitting with her back straight but her face downcast. She clutched the hem of her sweater tightly, a clear sign that she was agitated.“Pa... I'm confused. I don't know where to start,” she said finally, her voice trembling.Michael smiled a little, trying to offer some comfort. “Try starting with what's bothering you, Lin. Papa is here to listen.”Olin lifted his head, looking up at his father with teary eyes. “It's about Andy, Pa. And about what Mama said yesterday at the festival.&rdqu
“Olin, what's wrong? You're not usually like this,” Jihan opened the conversation in a quiet but worried voice. They were sitting on a bench in the school garden during recess. Olin just sighed, his eyes fixed on the grass in front of him.“I'm fine, Ji,” Olin replied briefly, without turning his head.Adel, who was sitting beside him, rolled her eyes. “It's okay? Seriously, Lin? If you're okay, why do you look like you've lost something? Even your voice isn't as loud as usual.”“Yeah, Lin,” Maria added as she leaned forward, trying to find Olin's gaze. “You didn't even respond when we teased Rihana earlier. You're usually the most excited when there's something to joke about.”Rihana nodded in agreement, though she was a little disturbed by the discussion. “That's right, Lin. You didn't even laugh when I almost fell earlier. Are you sick? Or... something wrong at home?”Olin s
