A whole week has passed since Helena returned to her office. Although she is rarely seen working overtime, Helena has a lot of work to do. This includes preparing for the next court hearing, which will be held in two days. A trial in which each party submits an expert witness to provide a detailed explanation of the disputed program.Gio had already provided explanations that Helena felt made sense to open the perspectives of the witnesses as well as the judge and prosecutor as they delved into Nakia's prosecution. Helena was confident that she would win this trial and Intel Corp could get a decision soon, especially regarding Arslan Tan.When Gio gave an explanation, many were amazed and did not expect that what the young man said was enough to be used as a weapon to fight back against Intel who continued to refute many things about Nakia's charges. Including that the program Intel Corp was working on for Nakia was far from the original agreement. This could be taken into considerati
Tommy sat behind a desk with many files piled up in front of him. The one that took up most of his concentration was the file from Helena Edison. Tommy couldn't not be thinking about what that woman was up with. How detailed Helena Edison was in making plans to seek justice for what she had been through. And how amazed Tommy was at the figure of Helena who tried to refrain from exposing the case that almost cost her life. Just to give a shock effect to the people responsible for the incident. To make them think, Helena is not someone who is easily subdued just because of one incident.The woman chose to be patient, as if to give her opponent full confidence that all her plans would succeed. Helena did not move after that incident. It caught her off guard and it was only when her opponent sensed victory that Helena put up a fight.“She really has calculated all the possibilities that could happen.” Tommy grinned faintly, twirling the coffee cup that his servant had just served him. “No
“Are you ready?” asked Michael as he welcomed Helena into the living room. Today was Helena's first court appearance after many trials in her absence. Helena's recovery and other considerations had kept her from showing up. But for today, Helena would not miss it.“Of course.” Helena smiled broadly. “I'm really looking forward to this day. And I think everyone who's going to be involved today is just as excited as I am.”“I can feel it since the last few days.” Michael invited Helena to walk ahead of him. He offered to carry the bag containing the files to be presented at the trial. As was Michael's habit whenever Helena carried a lot of luggage - the man did not hesitate to help. It was not uncommon for him to make sure that Helena was comfortable and safe with her steps while by Michael's side.“I'm going to miss these days,” Helena said with a soft sigh, but she didn't show a sad look on her face. She couldn't. What Michael had said last night on their date - what Michael had said
Michael took a moment to consider the words that should leave his mouth. Although Hanry was staring at him with a friendly gaze, it still had a rather dramatic effect on Michael. He knew that if Hanry Edison had questioned him directly, it was likely that his father had already spoken to Hanry about his wishes.Wouldn't it be better if they knew? But why did it feel like such a burden to Michael this morning? Was it the way Hanry Edison looked at him? Or did the voice of the middle-aged man who had questioned his decision sound uneasy?“You are right, Mr. Hanry.”“It took you long enough to give me the answer to that question.” Hanry smiled slightly. He chose to sit back on the sofa. “Can we talk about this? It may seem that I should have chosen a much more convenient time than this morning, but given what you've been through and what you can see for yourself about Helena, I couldn't resist."“I understand,” Michael said as he followed Hanry's lead. He took a seat directly opposite th
Helena looked at Michael with a curious look on her face that could not be hidden. Ever since they got into the car and headed for the trial, Helena had been observing Michael's movements, which seemed much calmer than usual. However, there was something nagging at her heart. She was sure that the conversation between Michael and his father was not just a simple conversation. She wanted to know what really happened in the living room today."Are you sure you don't have anything to tell me?" Helena asked once again, this time in a slightly demanding tone.Michael, who was focused on the road ahead, glanced briefly at Helena with a faint smile on his face. “I promise, Helena. I'll tell you after the court hearing is over. For now, isn't it most important to focus on the court proceedings? You need full concentration, and I don't want to disturb your mind with anything else.”Helena frowned, her forehead furrowed, clearly not satisfied with Michael's ambiguous answer. However, she knew t
“This can't be allowed,” Michael thought with his hands clenched tightly. It seemed that the glasses man wasn't the only one who seemed annoyed and disgusted by the figure in front of them. Wilna was also displaying an obvious look of dislike, which she had no intention of covering up or getting rid of quickly.“I won't let this man bother Helena again,” he murmured to himself. Michael had to do something. The man's gaze sharpened on Arslan, who was still standing in an annoying manner in front of them. His eyes hardened, showing just how displeased he was with the presence of Helena's ex-husband. Not only because Arslan had a bad record with Helena in Michael's eyes. But also, because the man continued to be manipulative and ruthless."You don't need to take what he says so seriously, Helena," Michael finally said, his tone casual but also firm and caring. He didn't want to see Helena dragged back into Arslan's cunning game. “He's just trying to get your attention as usual.”Helena l
Although Helena's words just now were quite disturbing to him, but the message that came to Arslan's cell phone made the man calm down a little. The expert witness brought in from Jacob Group was reliable. He should have subdued his ego in front of Tiara and asked for help from his father-in-law-Deny Jacob. So he wouldn't have to waste so much time and have such an annoying argument with Nakia's side.However, Arslan was the one who benefited the most from the problems he created. Tiara could be back in his hands and immediately in front of him, the woman who could give him the highest position and power at the top of the business, he must be able to control. He must not let his meeting with Helena go to waste.Arslan immediately ordered various dishes without really asking Helena if she wanted anything. Glasses of juice, coffee, and appetizers began to be placed on the table by the waiter, making the table full of food that Helena had absolutely no interest in eating.“You must eat a
Arslan fixed the collar of his jacket with a quick movement. He tried to smile immediately and get rid of the discomfort caused by the conversation with Helena. Although it was a bit difficult, Arslan could not continue to focus on Helena's words and his ex-wife's attitude.“I think this is enough,” he said trying to calm down. Although there was really nothing that needed to be improved from his appearance. He was always well-groomed. Whatever the situation, Arslan always tried to keep his best appearance. Although there was one time when he ignored his appearance-during the chaos at Intel Corp related to the lauching event of Cyber's unit some time ago.So why did he bother to make sure his appearance was still well maintained? Actually, it was just a distraction from the nervousness that suddenly enveloped him as he exited the restaurant. Across the street, not far from the gate of the court building, Tiara stood waiting for him. Her face was flat, but her eyes were full of questio
“What's up?” asked Lilo, glancing at Mario to keep the boundaries while talking. It seemed like this was the moment when King would reveal a little of his heart. Of the three of them, only King was more likely to keep his feelings closed off, especially towards Gadis. This was also what might make King act silly and annoying just to get Gadis' attention.“I don't think they broke up nicely, because Pasaraya caught his girlfriend with another guy.”“Well, it's really bad to be a guy,” Mario scolded. ‘Great, that means your opportunities are wide open, King.’ Mario immediately patted King on the shoulder. ”I support you one hundred percent.”But King's response was ordinary.Lilo could only raise an eyebrow. Mario was being a real pain as usual. “What really happened besides the cheating girl's girlfriend?”King still didn't want to open his voice. Both Mario and Lilo chose to wa
“Do I need to congratulate you or not?” asked Mario, raising and lowering his eyebrows. ”I really didn't think Lilo would steal the start of getting married first.”Lilo, who had been the subject of teasing, mockery, and the main topic of conversation among the three of them, could only sigh quietly. While shaking his head in amazement at Mario's remark just now. “If you're ready, why wait any longer? I'm too lazy to look for someone close to perfect.”“Your style, duh!” Mario laughed. ”You, the calmest of the three of us, turn out to have greater mental readiness. But still, I'm a little worried about your future wife. Or better to hurry up the marriage contract first. It doesn't matter if it's a KUA marriage, right?”“What's the connection?” Kali King was the one who spoke. Even though they were gathered casually amidst various sweet and savory snacks, as well as several cups of refreshing cold drinks, King's work laptop was still on. He never neglected his obligations at GreenTech,
“Have you seen the latest news?“ Lisa immediately approached Risna's table, where her coworker and friend was eating breakfast.“What news?” Risna was surprised by Lisa's remark and her enthusiasm this morning. In fact, in recent days, Lisa had been complaining all the time. It never stopped for a moment until Risna felt that Lisa's energy was being used up complaining. The biggest complaint was the portion of their work, which she said was increasing.“All because of those ungrateful interns!” Lisa said in a rather loud tone of voice. She said it on purpose so that everyone would hear how unfair it was that King's subordinates were given many tasks, while the interns could work freely.But when King was in his work area, Lisa didn't dare to voice her complaints. Instead, she was very sweet and worked very hard to finish quickly. So she went to King's room just to say a few words. Which were more often ignored because King was really on a deadline and had a lot to be done immediately.
“So ... have you broken up with Angga?” asked Manda while giving Gadis a glass of pineapple juice and apple. Manda was in a diligent mood again, tinkering with the contents of Gadis's cupboard where there was a juicer that was often used to make refreshing drinks.“That's how it is.“ Gadis accepted the glass with sparkling eyes. ‘You know I'm really tired after coming back from Bogor.”Not only Manda, but also Lily suddenly stared at Gadis suspiciously. ’Bogor?” they asked in unison. “Don't you have work in Bandung? How come you went to Bogor instead?”Gadis choked even though she was enjoying the sweetness that ran through her throat. Even though it was getting dark, the air made the surroundings feel hot and she needed a refreshing drink.“Is there something you're hiding, Dis?” asked Lily with a suspicious look. ”Besides, you should have gone home yesterday afternoon, but instead you're late until this afternoon. Admit it! Are you going out with Angga?”“I'm so over him that I can'
Does their madness end? Obviously not. Once they reached Puncak Pass, the car that King was now in entered the lodging area. Luckily, the room they rented was not full and was comfortable for temporary living. Don't worry, King would never take Gadis to spend the night in a usual place even though the place they were going to was not a five-star hotel.“Bandung-Bogor just for the sake of sunrise?” Gadis shook her head in surprise as soon as they finished the paperwork at the reception desk. The innkeeper looked at them somewhat surprised because they might be the latest guests to come here.“It's still better Bandung-Bogor than Bandung-Bukit Sikunir.”“Don't be crazy,“ said the girl, who immediately took the key to her room. "I'm at the end there, right?" she asked, confirming once again the direction indicated by the receptionist.“Yes, ma'am. And the guy is on the second floor.”“Okay.” King immediately prepared to go to the place indicated. “You have to be up at five, Pasaraya. I d
In the end, Gadis was unable to refuse what King wanted. As for talking to Mr. Ubud, Leo, Gadis could just send a text message. After all, her work in Bandung was finished. The GreenTech team and Gadis were scheduled to return at eleven o'clock the next day. Then Ubud gave her two days off. That was the plan, but since Gadis got an amazing surprise, everything changed.Including plans to relax at the guest house after returning from Bandung.“Ready?” King asked while putting on his seat belt. King's appearance was the same; he looked tired but his annoying look hadn't left. Is that how Kingkong always looks? I don't know. What is clear is that Gadis was used to it.“I should be the one asking that, Kingkong,” Gadis said as she made sure the driver's seat was properly adjusted. E-toll card and a few things she needed while behind the wheel. Including the gas indicator, which was almost full. ”You really rarely run out of gas.”King chuckled. “I just realized that you have a good eye. I
Almost all visitors to the cafe paid attention to those who had been arguing. Although Gadis's voice was ordinary, it was full of a very noticeable aura of anger. This was in contrast to Angga, who sometimes raised his voice. Moreover, the girl's words, which he did not expect to come out so smoothly from her mouth.“Watch your mouth, Dis,” Angga said, clenching his fist.“Angga, I need an explanation.” Sheila immediately wiped away her tears. She also no longer sat listening to what was really going on. But since she had listened to the words of the girl sitting next to her, as well as Angga who suddenly ignored her, Sheila began to doubt Angga's words. Especially the sweet part full of romantic love.“Shut up!” Angga stared at Sheila with a sharp look. His face looked scary. His breath roared strongly and he was too overwhelmed by his emotions.This immediately made Sheila's guts shrink. In the end, she could only sit
Not only Angga, but the girl in front of him was staring in disbelief at the figure who had suddenly appeared around them.“You ... who are you?” asked the girl with an unkind look. ”Don't you mind our time.”Gadis smiled cynically. “Is that true?” The gaze that never left Angga's figure was slightly distracted to stare at the girl who had just spoken from such a close distance. “Am I a bother, Mr. Angga?” asked Gadis in a casual tone of voice.She didn't need to use her high tone because she was already emotional and disappointed. A flat tone was enough, but seriously, Gadis wasn't going to intimidate them both. Especially the man who seemed to be growling while holding back his annoyance.“Who is he? Do you know her?”“Are you in Bandung? What are you doing here?“ Angga ignored the question of the girl he was dating today. Her name was Sheila, a colleague at the hospital whom
The amazing girl was happy. Her smile wouldn't leave her face and her eyes were shining with happiness. For almost five hours she posed in front of the camera, not to mention changing her clothes several times and matching which part of the corner was the right one for shooting. And there was still more she had to do at the official Velue Jewelry outlet in Bandung.Maybe it's because of her determination to get rid of the problems that are still entangling her, and she refrains from telling her two friends. It's not that she doesn't want to, but for the past two days Gadis has been coming home late. The job that King gave her doesn't give her any breaks at all. But she feels grateful because she's busy. So her thoughts were not always about Angga's words and what she should do about their relationship.Gadis didn't even think about Leo's words. Gadis's main goal this time was to finish the job that she had already taken the risk of doing well. She also examined one by
