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
