I REPAY MY HUSBAND'S BETRAYAL [100]
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

“Are you... okay, Helena?” asked Erick with a worried look. He was already eager to show off his latest findings - contrary to what they were discussing. Hoping that Helena would feel more optimistic about her victory.In Erick's eyes, Helena was not just a boss who paid him for the work he did. If it wasn't for Helena, he might not have wanted to leave the rental house that he had transformed into a space he loved. Working odd jobs but making much more money because of her intelligence. Helena Edison was her best friend during college. And the dark-haired woman never hesitated to lend Erick a helping hand when the orange-haired man got into trouble.So when there was a chance to return the favor, Erick would not hesitate to do so. After all, what Helena had to offer was far more than enough. Because of that too, Erick tried his best to support Helena in the part they had agreed on together.“I'm fine, Erick,” Helena said with a faint smile. “You don't have to look at me like that.”E

“You look like someone who just won the lottery, Erick,” Helena could no longer contain her laughter. Since the hearing was dismissed, they were asked to prepare for the final hearing. The sentencing hearing for Arslan Tan and the people involved. And Helena wasn't going to miss that opportunity because really, this day was very unexpected for her.There were many questions that arose in Helena's mind. Especially where did Gio get the CCTV footage that was so valuable and exhibited at the most opportune time? Ah, Helena couldn't wait to find out all the things she seemed to have missed. However, there was no way she could ask Erick or Gio to explain right now. Wouldn't it be better to celebrate this small victory with a meal together?“You know, I didn't expect that kind of response. I thought they would come back and refute the video that Gio got. But I guess I had high expectations for the way they work. Especially when it comes to security.”Helena wanted to ask another question, b

There was nothing Helena could do but smile cheerfully. Her heart felt relieved that she could fight for Nakia until she got this answer. At the very least, she could prove to herself that she was capable of taking on the huge responsibility of leading Nakia Group. And also as a big warning that if she's going to work with other parties, she should be much more thorough than before. If necessary, find out the company's track record before deciding whether to continue the cooperation contract, or if there are some additional agreements.Besides having Erick who is good at finding information, no matter how detailed it is, it seems that if he recruits Gio, it could be even better for the IT team. Maybe he would talk to Wilna if all his business with the court was done.Because this was only one of the two cases he wanted to drag until he got real justice. But for now, he had to hold back. As soon as the time was right, he would move until the people who had made him have such intentions

On the way home, accompanied by the glittering lights of the city, Helena and Michael enjoy a quiet moment after an emotional day. The atmosphere in the car was peaceful, a far cry from the tension they'd faced over the past few weeks. Michael, who was sitting in the driving seat, smiled slightly as he glanced at Helena beside him.The little celebration at the restaurant had been a lot of fun and felt very appropriate after all the days they had spent together.“Do you mind if it takes longer to get home?”“You want to visit somewhere?” asked Helena with a surprised look. Although they were still walking along the main road, but considering the traffic, they would be at Helena's house in less than 20 minutes.“Grab a cup of coffee maybe?” Michael chuckled. “That is, if you don't mind.”“I guess that's fine.” He laughed. “Besides, it's a nice night and it would be a shame if I didn't enjoy it, right?”“That's what I thought.”They laughed together then. Helena let Michael drive the ca

Helena was enjoying the quiet days again. Although the reports and work were time-consuming and thought-provoking, at least it went very smoothly. Some of the progress regarding the launch of the new product was starting to show. The IT team was researching the technology Erick was developing and the marketing team had begun researching their market.One thing that pleased Helena; Gio accepted Thomas' offer to join the Edison Group. Thomas said that the two of them should not be put together in one project. At least one of them should support Edison Group. Helena didn't make a big deal out of it. After all, the right to accept the offer belonged to Gio.“Helena,” Wilna walked into Helena's room which was always open. Since yesterday, Helena's office had been very busy. Several staff, especially the finance department, often visited Helena to give detailed reports because in one month, Nakia Group would hold a big meeting with the shareholders.Although her father was the chairman of t

Yori chuckled in annoyance. “We still can't find Helena, ma'am?” she asked as she folded her legs. She was bored out of her mind but couldn't leave the building immediately because she had other things to do. Although she was reluctant to admit it, what her mother said about their future was true.“This is all because Arslan is too greedy,” Yori grumbled with a frustrated sigh. “If he had enough, I'm sure we wouldn't have been dragged this far.”Mirna immediately punched Yori's shoulder dispassionately. It made her youngest daughter moan in pain but Mirna cared. What was on Mirna's mind, was the easiest way to help her son who was in big trouble.“If it weren't for Arslan, we wouldn't be able to live like we did a while ago,” Mirna sighed as she folded her arms across her chest. Her eyes glinted with displeasure at her youngest daughter's apparent reluctance to accompany her to this building.The purpose was clear, to meet with Helena Edison. Her former daughter-in-law who apparently

“It seems you really don't have the patience and understanding of the procedure for meeting with Miss Helena, huh?”In the end, however, Helena did meet him. After receiving a report from the security staff that the two guests had been waiting for a long time and seemed reluctant to leave, Helena decided to go down and meet them. Although her heart wasn't too happy to see Mirna and Yori after everything that had happened, she decided to remain calm. Her face was flat as she walked towards them, accompanied by the ever-faithful Michael by her side.As soon as she saw Helena appear, Mirna immediately rose from her chair and put on a wide, very artificial smile. Her eyes sparkled hopefully, as if there was no big problem hanging between them. Yori, who was standing beside her, also greeted her with a forced smile, although the cold glint in her eyes could not be hidden at the sight of Michael beside Helena.Yori still couldn't believe her eyes when she

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.
