Rudi looked fearfully at the beautiful woman in front of him. The woman's gaze looked cold and unplayful as she played a dagger on Rudi's cheek. The slightest misstep on the part of the woman could send her face and... now the dagger was descending her neck.

“Tell me clearly, Rudi. What did Arslan order you to do?”

Rudi's eyes were firmly closed. His body trembled. Cold sweat ran down his temples one by one, wetting parts of his face. Don't ask how frantic he was. “Damn!” he cursed to himself. How could he have let his guard down against the scrutiny of others that led to his secret work being exposed?

But... being related to Jacob's family, Rudi should have anticipated that his movements would be discovered.

“You don't want to say anything?” Meanwhile, the dagger played by Tiara was getting closer to his neck. The woman displayed a dismissive smile as if playing with sharp weapons was a normal thing to do. But it was different with the cold eyes of the woman that seemed to penetrate

    “I'm ready, Helena,” Erick said on the other end of the line. His voice was cheerful, and it seemed like what he was doing was something to look forward to. It should have been Helena as well as Thomas who was excited to have a big prize for the launch of Cyber's new unit, which was working with Intel on its program.“You really can't wait, huh,” Helena said with a laugh. The car was taking her to the grand launching event in one of the central shopping malls in the city, which was attended by many famous celebrities, influential people, and sponsors who were surely waiting to see how the public would respond to this product that would be sold legally in the market.“Ehm... I can't wait to see the faces of people who are smart but take advantage of others,” Erick said in a flat tone. “Let me know when you've arrived at the main area. I'll be monitoring from a distance.”Helena stared at the cell phone screen that had returned to the main homepage. The phone connection was terminated o

    Michael leaned a little closer to Helena to whisper something. “Miss Wilna informed me that she is already in the lobby.”Helena gave her a quick glance and then smiled as her gaze refocused on the main stage. The grand launching of the Cyber Group's latest cell phone was greeted with much enthusiasm. In the business world that Helena had been secretly involved in during her time as Arslan's wife, Helena knew what Cyber Group was up to in terms of competing with Nakia. Although Nakia's name was well known to many people, Cyber's innovation could make them compete evenly in the market for the communication device.Business-wise, they are two big rivals whose names continue to skyrocket and have more and more loyal customers using their products. However,... if Helena didn't know how rotten Arslan's plan to bring her down was, she would have been very surprised by the launching event this afternoon.Ever since Helena arrived at this event, Arslan had looked at her intensely several time

    “What did your ex- mother-in-law come and talk to you for, Helena?” asked Wilna in a whisper. She didn't want to disturb Helena's concentration, who was focused on the main stage area.“As usual, talking as if we had an overly close relationship,” Helena replied with a faint smile. “I don't know where she got the information, but she knows I'm pregnant with Arslan's child."“WHAT?!” Wilna squealed in disbelief. Her voice even made some people at other tables look at her in surprise. Wilna immediately covered her mouth while grimacing in embarrassment but then focused her attention on Helena. “You... aren't joking, are you?”“Do I look like I'm joking?” asked Helena who still had a smile on her lips. She tried to look calm even though Mirna's last words made her wary.“You have to be careful, Helena. They could do anything to get you back into that family.”Helena chuckled. “Not likely. I wouldn't want to share the same man with another woman anyway. Do they think I'll beg Arslan to co

    Arslan walked around in his office. The launching event that he imagined could make his name skyrocket, and the impact that Cyber Corp could get to reap big profits ... was just destroyed. More than just destroyed, Arslan had to face many questions and demands for explanations from the many reporters who had gathered in the lobby of Intel's office.The man felt like his head was about to blow off. He had so many things on his mind and couldn't believe what happened during the event. Arslan left the event with some difficulty but was grateful to the security guards who immediately asked the reporters to give him some space.“It was only temporary,” muttered Arslan who was now starting to slow his pace. “I can't stay still.” He opened the door to his office as wide as he could. He ordered some of his staff to find out how someone else had hacked into their system.There was a strong speculation that what had happened was the work of Nakia's team. Since the arrival of their Quality Contr

    Arslan can't back away from what happened. The only thing he can do now is explain. Although explanations are also of little use because what they need is a solution. But how can Arslan solve if the pressure that comes is so crushing as if there is no pause just to breathe.The man took a deep breath and tried to calm down. The five commissaires who came with cold looks and did not want to get any welcome, only glanced at Arslan's existence. Without any desire to return the greeting Arslan had just given. Also when Deny Jacob greeted them with a faint smile.Everyone looked tense and just wanted an immediate solution to what had happened today.One of them, Mr. Raymond Anderson said before closing the door to Arslan's office. “We need to talk, Arslan,” the man said in a heavy voice. “And make sure you have a reasonable answer ready for this conversation.”Arslan swallowed nervously but there was no way he could avoid it. The man nodded. He hurried to his office with hurried steps. Nor

    “You should focus on your pregnancy, Tiara,” Deny Jacob said carefully. When they were on their way back to his house. Tiara was not with Arslan because her husband still had something to take care of. Actually, she didn't have that kind of heart to leave Arslan like that, but remembering the conversation on the phone with someone there, and always discussing Helena, made Tiara lose her compassion.“Yes, Pa.” Tiara nodded obediently.“Although there is something you can do, but remember one thing, Tiara. Don't be a fool for loving a man.”Tiara looked at her father. A middle-aged man who was her role model and the only family she had. She frowned slightly but began to understand the direction of the conversation and the warning. Tiara looked out the car window, her mind filled with doubts and guilt. Her father's words kept ringing in her mind. “Don't be a fool for loving a man.” Despite the urge to argue, something inside her felt that what her father said was true. She was caught up

    The sound that came out of Mirna's mouth made Tiara glance over. Since a while ago, the atmosphere at the dining table had been different. But Tiara didn't care. Although there was no desire to eat the food served, her stomach needed to be filled. Last night, for the first time since she was confirmed pregnant and spent the day with her body changing, there was nothing to worry about. But last night, she felt her stomach aching, tensed, and very uncomfortable.However, there would be no complaints coming out of Tiara's mouth especially after what Arslan told her directly. With confidence, her husband said something that really set Tiara off. She gave her husband a hard slap on the face. It didn't matter if Arslan went berserk, what was clear ... Tiara left the room. Grabbing a long cardigan to warm her body from the cold air that hit.“Rani said you didn't sleep in your room?” asked Mirna with a curious look in her eyes.Arslan wasn't at the table, and Tiara didn't really care.

    “Is it all ready?” Helena asked for confirmation. Today was going to be a long day. The letter that his legal team sent to Intel Corp's office received a quick response. But before fulfilling the summons for further investigation, Arslan personally requested a meeting with Helena.Did Helena agree immediately? Of course not.For Helena, there was no need for a meeting between the two of them. After all, the remaining business between Helena and Arslan was only limited to a work contract. Which was actually being broken by Arslan without thinking about the risks. Making Helena suffer both material losses and wasted time.“We're ready,” Wilna said, carrying a document she had collected to prove what Arslan had been doing to Nakia, and just in case the man made an annoying excuse. “But you're sure you'll see him in person first?”Helena seemed to think for a moment and then nodded. “I met her at a café not far from the Intel Corp office. Anyway, he was just delaying his responses to Naki

    “Wow, the famous model candidate has finally returned to the cage,“ joked Afandi with a wink as he saw Gadis entering his work area. The one who was being teased just pouted as she pulled up her work chair. She sat back comfortably while taking a long sigh and unwinding her hair.“I'm really fed up with this dual job,” complained Gadis but then laughed.“You should be grateful because your income has doubled,” teased Panji, who had just arrived with a cup of coffee. ”Eh, do you want me to make you an iced cappuccino?”Gadis didn't immediately agree. Panji, Afandi, and Hary, when they offered help, there was always something they wanted. Gadis didn't want to get into more trouble than just asking for someone's private phone number.“How much do I need to pay?” asked Gadis with suspiciously narrowed eyes.Panji was clearly laughing hard. ”You're really sensitive about this kind of thing, Dis.”“Brother Panji, the price list is written on your forehead.”This time, the uproarious laughte

    “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.

    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'
