"Gee! Where are you heading?"
Denisa intentionally halted Ghea's steps upon seeing her rushing to leave right after the lecture. Just from her demeanor, it was clear that Ghea was in a hurry to exit the class.
"I'm going to catch up with Mario. I want to consult about the internship. Remember, time is tight. We need to submit our schedules to Mr. Andreas the day after tomorrow. I still haven't found a suitable placement at all."
Denisa nodded in understanding. As final semester students, it was mandatory for them to undergo an internship for a few months as a graduation requirement. Some students already had permission to start their internships.
"I'm all set. In fact, I start working tomorrow. Joshua too."
"See, you guys are so lucky," complained Ghea. It seemed like she was the only one who hadn't secured a place for the mandatory assignment until now. It was her fault for unde
After returning from Mario's office, Ghea hurriedly cleaned herself up and went to the kitchen. When she arrived, Sandra and another assistant were already preparing dinner.Surprised to see Ghea in the kitchen for the first time, Sandra immediately asked. She was afraid that her employer needed something if she took the trouble to come over."Ms. Ghea? Why? Do you need something?"Ghea smiled, approached, and looked at what her two assistants were preparing."What are you cooking?""Ah, we're just preparing dinner for Ms. Ghea and Mr. Randy.""Yes, what are you planning to cook?"Sandra nodded and pointed to the ingredients on the table."Tonight, we plan to cook sweet and sour chicken and Mr. Randy's favorite capcay, Mba."This time, Ghea nodded."Let me do it, okay?"
This morning, before heading to work, Randy appeared sitting quietly in the living room while waiting for Ghea, who was still busy getting ready. Meanwhile, he chose to read the work report that Alvin had sent. In the room, Ghea was still struggling with her clothes, then continued to perfect the makeup she was wearing before finally deciding to join Randy downstairs.Confidently, Ghea approached, then greeted Randy, inviting him to leave for the office."Come on, let's go now, Uncle!"Randy then put away the tablet he had used to read the report. He looked up, then was astonished for a moment by the unusual appearance shown by his wife.Wearing a blazer with a skirt, she looked truly beautiful and cute. Although it couldn't be denied, no matter how she was dressed up, Ghea still looked like a child. But, for some reason, this was what became her unique and unusual charm in Randy's eyes. 
"So, it was my husband who contacted both of you to join the internship here?"During the lunch break, Ghea intentionally invited her two friends to hang out and spend the break time in the office cafeteria. There was something she needed to clarify immediately. Why were her two friends suddenly at her husband's office? They both had their own internship destinations."Aww, the husband," Denisa teased, reaching out to touch Ghea's forehead playfully. It was unusual for her to refer to him as 'my husband' after always using the term 'Uncle,' which didn't sound quite right. "You're not sick, are you? Or did you eat something wrong?"Ghea promptly brushed off Denisa's hand, irritated that instead of addressing her question, her friend was discussing something she considered unimportant."Don't start.""I was just asking, Ghe. It's so unusual for you to call Randy 'my husband,'" Deni
"Good evening, my wife."Randy had just arrived home around 8 p.m. Upon entering the room, he found his wife sitting on the floor with scattered papers, looking serious.Randy was convinced that his wife must be working on an unfinished office task. Otherwise, Ghea wouldn't be this serious. It seemed she didn't even notice him entering the room. If not, why would she ignore his greeting?For a moment, Randy chose to let Ghea focus on her task. After finishing cleaning up, he approached to check directly what his wife had been working on."What are you working on? You seem really serious.""Bu Sonia gave me a task to calculate and analyze the construction of the Atmawijaya Apartments. The reports I've submitted haven't been verified since yesterday. That's why I'm confused, not sure where the mistake is," Ghea replied without turning towards Randy. She was too absorbed in the give
In reality, if she wanted to, Ghea could report some staff members from other divisions who were rude and dared to gossip openly, even comparing her to other women. But because she didn't want to start trouble, she thought it would be better to remain silent for now. Even if they caused trouble later, Ghea was determined to retaliate. It was not fair to be compared and spoken ill of by everyone who probably didn't like her."Well, it's good if you're comfortable. If during the internship anything bothers you or makes you uncomfortable, don't hesitate to report it to me.""Why should I report?" Ghea asked curiously."Well, as a husband, isn't it my duty to make sure you feel comfortable wherever you are?""Ugh—""This isn't sweet talk, Ghea," Randy interrupted, as if knowing what his wife was about to say. "But it's only natural for a husband to behave like that, right?"
"I feel that today's discussion and meeting have been more than sufficient. If there's a need for revisions or additions later on, we can reschedule to discuss them in the next meeting. Certainly, Akasia has conveyed standards that are no longer negotiable.""In that case, we, the Velfare team, agree with what has been decided. We hope that it can now proceed to the process of signing the collaboration agreement."Randy then stood up. Extending his hand, he invited his business associate to shake hands before parting ways.Kennedy was also present. They chatted for a few moments, then chose to go their separate ways."Do you want to ride with me or what?" Kennedy asked Randy before leaving the restaurant."I brought my own car, Ken. You go ahead. Besides, I have to pick up Ghea first.""Okay, then I'll head back first. Send my regards to Ghea."
"Ghe, how much longer are you going to wait here?" Denisa and Joshua seemed to be getting bored. Almost an hour past the scheduled departure time, the two of them appeared to be accompanying Ghea, who had been sitting and waiting in the lobby of the Akasia building. As previously instructed, Ghea chose to faithfully wait for her husband, who was still in a meeting outside the office with a client. He had asked her not to go home early so they could return together. "I'll wait for another thirty minutes," Ghea replied, glancing at the watch on her wrist. "If you two want to go home now, go ahead. I'll be fine." "Are you sure you're okay with this?" Denisa asked again, concerned about leaving Ghea alone in the office lobby, even though at this hour, the employees were still bustling around. "Don't worry, I'll be fine. If Randy hasn't returned yet, I can ask the driver to
"How about it? Are you still mad at me?"Ghea shook her head. She smiled faintly, then took another spoonful of the big-size Gelato ice cream in front of her. She thought her husband would 'kidnap' her and take her to some unknown place.Instead of being taken to the mall, a shopping center, or an expensive restaurant, Randy brought Ghea to one of his favorite ice cream shops. Whether it was a coincidence or the result of gathering information from someone close to her, after being overwhelmed by anger earlier, Ghea's emotions were gradually fading.Every time she felt angry, irritated, or overwhelmed by emotions, Ghea had an effective way to calm herself down: eating ice cream or going to sleep. These two methods had always been her go-to, even into adulthood."For this time, Uncle, I forgive you. But don't think that if you make a mistake again tomorrow or anytime in the future, I'll forgive you ju
Randy glanced at the circular watch on his left wrist, feeling uneasy. He was both hopeful and worried that he might be late to pick up Ghea and then take his wife to a dinner event with the extended Walters family. It required extra persuasion to make his wife agree to attend the dinner tonight. It wasn't because Randy had any issues or objections to what his wife wanted to do. Since Ghea entered the last month of her pregnancy, she became the type of woman who preferred to stay at home, lounging in her room while enjoying snacks and watching Korean dramas. Actually, Randy had no problem with whatever activities Ghea wanted to engage in. As long as Ghea was happy, he was fine with it. It's just that sometimes it became a bit troublesome for him. Due to her extreme laziness, Ghea often refused to go anywhere. "Darling... I'm sorry I'm a bit late. The traffic on the toll road was really bad." Upon arriving at the house to pick up Ghea, and now that his wife was already in the car,
"Ghea, Mom, I beg you, please drop the charges against Giselle's husband. Mom, I know he's wrong, but at least show your compassion." "After trying to live peacefully for days, Clara suddenly visited Ghea at her residence. Despite what her stepmother had been doing all this time, she approached and pleaded with Ghea, asking that her youngest daughter be released or at least given a lenient punishment." "Clara felt Giselle didn't deserve a harsh punishment. Especially after all the things she and Giselle had done, Maxwell also took a firm stand. The man she had been with for thirty years was now filing for divorce. He didn't even want to accept an apology for what he had done to Ghea." "Enough, Mom, suffering from being kicked out and divorced by Dad. Now, Giselle is Mom's only hope because Mario is not willing to help at all. That's why, Mom, I'm asking you, please free Giselle in any way you can." Ghea sat silently in her seat, listening. For a moment, she didn't comment on the r
Ghea has sighed deeply countless times. She feels extremely nervous thinking about Randy's reaction when he meets Giselle in a short while. Ghea is actually angry about what Giselle did. However, her heart still feels afraid and worried that her husband might lose control and be provoked emotionally. Ghea only just found out that Randy can look so terrifying when angry. This is something she really wants to avoid. Then, when the person they've been waiting for finally arrives in the investigation room, Ghea observes and can clearly see that the first thing Randy does is smirk. He tries to control his emotions by remaining calm, but he always appears alert. Randy continues to watch from a distance until the woman they've been waiting for finally speaks up and starts talking. "What's really going on here? Why did the police officer call me all sorts of things to come here?" Giselle asks casually when the woman is seated in front of her. "We deliberately called and asked Miss to come
After receiving the news from Alvin the night before that the suspected person who hit Ghea had been apprehended, Randy decided to go to the police station early in the morning. He intentionally brought Ghea along because the police needed her statement to further investigate the accident that had befallen her some time ago. Exiting the black Range Rover he was driving, Randy tightly held Ghea's hand as they walked together towards the interrogation room. Once inside, they were directed by the officers to check the man who had been successfully detained. There, a man around 35 years old sat on the defendant's chair with his head bowed. Randy then cast a penetrating gaze, assessing the appearance of the man who had caused his wife's accident and might have led to a miscarriage. Randy's jaw seemed to tighten. His calm face slowly turned red. Emotions were clearly evident on the man's face. If there were no police officers present, the narrow-eyed man might have attacked or sought rev
"Ghea, forgive me, Papa couldn't be there to protect you." Maxwell hugged his daughter, who was now sitting on the bed in her room. He was extremely saddened by the recent tragedy that had befallen his daughter. "Why apologize? It's not Papa's fault. It's just a stroke of bad luck. The most important thing is that Ghea is okay." "But, Papa is really sad to hear about your accident. Papa is worried that something bad might happen to you." Ghea smiled, gently stroking her father's hand, trying to reassure and calm him. "Ghea is fine, Papa. No need to worry, let alone think about anything bad happening. I promise not to make Papa sad like this again." After ensuring that his daughter was fine, Maxwell and Mario decided to go down to the first floor while chatting with their son-in-law. "Randy, thank you for keeping Papa and Mario informed about Ghea's condition." Since he arrived, Maxwell appeared anxious and worried. He was undoubtedly shocked by the recent unfortunate events. M
Upon hearing the news that Ghea had been in an accident, Randy felt his heart almost stop beating. Confronted with the reality that his wife's life might be in danger, he suddenly found himself short of breath. He couldn't speak now. Just silent for a moment, until the police finished delivering the news through the phone call he received. "Ran, what's wrong with you?" Darwin wondered when he saw Randy's face, which was once relaxed and playful, now turning pale. His cousin seemed to stand up quickly, getting ready to leave. "Ghea had an accident, Win. She's in the hospital now." Darwin was startled at that moment too. Both equally shocked to hear the news Randy had just conveyed. Without much thought, he offered to accompany Randy, who might be in distress or unable to think clearly. Driving his vehicle at an above-average speed, Darwin and Randy arrived at the hospital in just 10 minutes. Walking briskly, they went straight to the emergency unit. There, several police officers w
Meanwhile, Randy, bombarded with so many questions from Darwin, didn't answer immediately. Adjusting his sitting position, he then slowly began to explain. "The story is quite long, Win." "As long as it takes, I'll listen," Darwin quickly responded. "Don't worry; my schedule is clear today." "Do you remember Agista, right?" "Yeah, your ex who left to marry that sugar daddy?" "Hmm..." Randy sighed lazily. "Yeah, she became the representative for Velfire. Velfire appointed her to oversee the progress of the project in Indonesia. She was placed in Akasia's head office for two months." "And then?" "So, a while ago, I had a business trip to Singapore. It was also for a meeting with Velfire to discuss the collaboration's progress. Initially, everything went smoothly. No problems at all." "Well then, why did you unilaterally cancel the partnership, Ran," Darwin interrupted. Randy hadn't finished telling the story yet. "Listen first," Randy growled. He explained the matter to his cou
"I'm heading to work now. You can relax at home." Randy had just finished his breakfast. Accompanied by Ghea to the door, he prepared to leave for the office. "I'm sure you'll miss being able to peek into Uncle's office or hang out there as usual," Ghea complained with a gloomy face. For almost two months of interning at Randy's office, she had gotten used to spending the whole day meeting and interacting with her husband. "Don't be sad like that. I'll be thinking about you at the office. Or, how about this. What if we have lunch together later?" "Yes!" Ghea replied immediately, nodding her head. The girl responded enthusiastically to her husband's invitation. "Should I pick up Uncle from the office or what? Anyway, I really want to meet Uncle for lunch later." Randy laughed. Fondly, he cupped Ghea's reddened cheeks. He was somewhat surprised to see Ghea acting so spoiled. Her behavior was indeed very different from before. Usually, Ghea often hesitated to express her feelings o
Upon careful consideration, there are many reasons why being with her husband, Randy Walters, is highly enjoyable for Ghea. Aside from her husband's handsome appearance and athletic physique desired by many women, Ghea acknowledges that the youngest of the Walters family is skillful in the bedroom. Every time they are together, Ghea has been charmed and satisfied numerous times. For example, on a night like this, reflecting the intense longing after being apart for two days, Randy clearly doesn't allow Ghea to move an inch from the bed. He continues to caress her, worshiping every inch of Ghea's body with great intensity. Ghea's eyes then close. Sensing vividly how Randy's lips kiss her wet shoulders and the exposed neck, causing her hair to stand on end. Right when he lifts his face, intentionally approaching and parting his lips, Randy then slips his tongue into Ghea's mouth. Playing around there. Deliberately teasing, until eventually, Ghea responds in kind. Meanwhile, Randy's h
