I REPAY MY HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL [79]
They were already on their way back to office after an almost three-hour meeting to discuss Nakia's losses. Before going to judicial channels, the Intel Corp commissioners requested a meeting in person to negotiate in case they could find the best way out. At least this could reduce the level of public distrust of their performance. And one thing is certain: Intel Corp's credibility in the eyes of other business partners.If Nakia has submitted the claim file to the court, then there is no safe way out for Intel Corp. Unfortunately, what Nakia asked to be fulfilled did not get a signal of approval because they felt that Nakia was blackmailing them. In fact, from any side, the most harmed is Nakia. It seems that this is very much utilized by Intel Corp to slightly reduce their sense of responsibility.Arslan has argued several times about the program and technology he designed for Nakia, claiming to be similar to Cyber. But this time, Thomas explained in great detail what kind of cheat

“I'm still wondering what Michael was really doing at Helena's side?” Tiara looked back at the file Rudi had handed her this afternoon. She was already at Jacob Group's office, not yet eager to go to Intel Corp just to find out the progress and what steps Arslan would take to deal with the problem at hand.“I can't trace further, Ms. Tiara. Only about his family background and work."Tiara rolled her eyes in annoyance. “If that's all you can find out, I already know who Michael is without your help. But why is he by Helena's side. That's a big question because no matter what, Michael is a famous doctor. He has a lot of good reputation in the medical world. And now? Always by Helena's side? Not even a husband would do that.” Tiara chuckled in disbelief. “Is he blinded by Helena? Or working as Helena's personal bodyguard? Gosh, why didn't I think of that?”The woman chuckled with satisfaction at her thoughts. Once again, s

Through the tail of his eyes, Michael noticed how Helena's expression had become quieter than before. It was different when Helena was briefing and discussing the project with Erick. Helena Edison was dedicated to the Nakia Group, but when she was faced with her own personal problems, Michael saw her as fragile. A person who needs support but is trying to stay strong. It was as if she didn't want to say that Helena could collapse at any moment.The sunglasses man suspected that this all stemmed from the phone call Helena had received that afternoon. From her father; Hanry Edison. Michael wanted to give Helena some comfort, even though he wasn't sure if his encouragement would ease the woman's anxiety. But... Michael wasn't sure if his comfort would make Helena feel comfortable or not.Meanwhile, Helena let out a long sigh as she covered part of her face with the back of her hand.“What... don't you want to see your father?” Michael asked carefully. He couldn't allow himself to see Hel

The hospital room where Helena was being treated felt increasingly empty. Helena's recovery process was painfully slow. Ever since Helena woke up and learned that she had lost her baby, something had changed about her. The smile that usually graced her face, the enthusiasm that sparked from her eyes, had now disappeared. It was replaced with a deep sadness.Perhaps because of this, Helena's recovery was not going well. Helena looked as if she had lost the meaning of life in herself. And that made her family worried. Even a psychiatric expert was asked to accompany her, but Helena seemed to be drowning in her sorrow. She didn't want to move, and she felt ... empty.How Helena wanted a pregnancy after three years. Even though her marriage failed, God gave her what she wanted. Whether as a gift to be grateful for or later it will be a boomerang, but Helena already loves her future baby. She guards it with all her heart and tries to be the best to raise her child.Unfortunately ... the ac

"Thank God Mr. Michael passed his critical period well, although it took a while," said the doctor in charge of Michael with a look of relief. “At least the follow-up observation after Mr. Michael regains his consciousness is still ongoing.”Helena let out a sigh of relief. She gently squeezed Thomas' hand on her shoulder. Thomas had arrived just as Kenneth had told him the news. He helped Helena sit in the wheelchair and escorted her to Michael's medical room. Helena also seemed enthusiastic to meet him, as if the sadness she had been feeling all afternoon had been eased by the news of Michael's awakening.They gathered right in front of the door to Michael's ward. The doctor only allowed one person to visit Michael, as his condition was still unstable. If he improved within twenty-four hours, Michael would be placed in a room next to Helena.The decision was made for the safety of both of them under the intense supervision of Tommy Andreas. Both Thomas and Hanry Edison agreed that t

News of Nakia CEO's accident was breaking fast. It also almost overshadowed the news about what happened with Intel Corp and the Cyber Group. However, the legal process continued as it was supposed to. There were no delays despite being represented by Wilna as well as Thomas, although the man only occasionally visited Nakia's office. They would not be distracted by news and Helena's condition.“Don't lose focus during the court proceedings, Wilna,” Thomas warned.Wilna rolled her eyes in annoyance. She still had a lot of files in her hands but the call from Thomas had been very distracting this whole time. And that was all Thomas said? Where was Wilna's focus except on the pile of files she would bring to the court?Even though Helena wasn't with Nakia, Wilna had full responsibility and wouldn't let Nakia miss out on a great opportunity to make Intel Corp pay for its actions.“Of course not, Mr. Thomas.” Wilna tried to speak in a normal tone. Although she repeatedly held back her anno

Before Rudi opened the door to the room where the woman who wanted to meet him was waiting, he took a deep breath. His heart was beating fast. Cold sweat had been pouring down his forehead since he entered the lobby of this building. But he couldn't run away because the woman knew how to make him fulfill her call.“Come in,” said the voice in the room after Rudi knocked on the black painted wooden door in front of him.Once again, Rudi let out a long breath. “Miss Tiara,” Rudi called, trying to be as calm as possible. The room was quite large with windows overlooking the city from the 35th floor of the Jacob Group building. Tiara Jacob stood with her back to Rudi. Staring out the window as if it was a fun thing to do. The faint afternoon sunlight reflected off her jet-black hair, adding to the woman's cold and menacing air.Rudi trembled with horror at meeting Tiara for the umpteenth time.“What else do you want from me?” Rudi asked in a trembling voice despite his efforts to remain c

The room where Helena was treated had a living room that was often used for meetings and work in between her therapy and recovery. Helena doesn't like to waste her time crying about what has happened. She had to keep moving with the flow of life.The large window near the living room was her favorite place to spend time reviewing the files Wilna had brought. Like this afternoon, Helena sat leaning back on the sofa, her face looking stern even though her body was still recovering. Her right hand was busy flipping through the documents Wilna had just handed over, while her left hand slowly adjusted the eyeglasses above her nose. Her gaze was sharp, focused, and glued to the pages she was reading.“How's the court proceedings going?” asked Helena as she adjusted her glasses.“Aren't you tired?” asked Wilna with an irritated look. Since her arrival an hour ago, Helena had not stopped checking the many files she had submitted. Wilna and Thomas' remarks about Helena focusing more on her rec

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.
