Luliyah could feel her cheek throb due to her father's hard slap. Her eyes turned red from trying to hold back tears. She couldn't cry, she can't afford to look weak in front of this people.Seeing all the events in front of him, Agi could not stay still. He could not bear to see Luliyah being humiliated and even slapped in public, while he was standing still.When Agi was about to approach Luliyah to help her, the cafe door suddenly opened.Kelvin stepped in, followed by Harris and a few bodyguards behind him. They all wore formal attire, making everyone around feel intimidated by their arrival.Agi was very happy to see his master come. It felt like he could exhale a sigh of relief after seeing his master's arrival. Everything would be fine as long as his master was around.Kelvin could see all the emotions mixed up on Luliyah's face. Anger, sadness, heartache... "Luliyah." His deep voice sounded, waking Luliyah from her sadness.When that voice was heard, everyone in the room turne
"Kelvin, you simply misunderstood." Martins said in a haste trying to calm Kelvin's anger. He must not loose a prospective son-in-law like Kelvin, so he must try his best not to get Kelvin angry. Mr Martins needed Kelvin to make his company move forward. With's Kelvin's support and influence, he would be even richer. He would also become one of the most influential people in the city again. "Misunderstand?" Kelvin's voice was so low that it almost sounded like a growl. Mr Martins immediately closed his mouth tightly, afraid that Kelvin would direct his anger at him if he spoke further. Meanwhile, Natali could only tremble beside her father. Kelvin already knew all her plans. He also knew that she set his wife up. The man was not blind! The man had seen it all. Natali's tears before might have been crocodile tears, but now she really wanted to cry. What should she do? "I am not doing anything! Not me..." Natali said. Tears rolled down her face. This time she cried out of fear. "
"Where's the coffee I ordered?" Kelvin asked one of the servants nearby. The waiter was startled and quickly rushed to get the coffee for Kelvin.It didn't take long until the waiter returned with a hot cup of coffee. He placed it in front of Kelvin and said in a trembling voice, "Here's your coffee, sir." Because the waiter was so afraid of Kelvin, he didn't wait for a response from Kelvin and immediately ran back to his other colleagues.Fear radiated in Natali's eyes seeing the coffee glass placed in front of Kelvin. She was afraid that the man would do the same thing she did to Luliyah. The coffee she pored on Luliyah was cold because the room was air conditioned.Meanwhile, the coffee served in front of Kelvin was still hot and steaming. Any skin could burn if that coffee was splashed on it.Natali wasn't only the one who thought like that. Martins also thought of the same thing. He immediately pulled Natali's hand, admonishing her to apologize to Kelvin and Luliyah. Maybe if sh
Without looking back again, they immediately left the cafe. One of the bodyguards took Kelvin's official car back to the office so he and Harris could go home with Luliyah, in Kelvin's private car.The sun was starting to set as they stood outside the cafe, waiting for Agi to park the car and pick them up. The afternoon wind blew softly, sweeping the leaves scattered on the ground. The sunshine that afternoon was bright and blinding.Kelvin frowned as the sunlight struck his eyes. His eyes felt uncomfortable from the bright sunlight. Luliyah could see Kelvin's uncomfortable expression so she immediately raised her hand, blocking the sun shining on the man's face. Even though her hands were small and couldn't be too helpful to block out the sunlight, at least she wanted to do something for Kelvin who helped her a lot.Harris quickly took out Kelvin's sunglasses from his suitcase and handed them to Luliyah. Luliyah tiptoed slightly to put the sunglasses on Kelvin's face. As she did so,
The atmosphere in the car became silent after the argument took place. The debate made Kelvin angry at Luliyah's attitude that was too soft, while Luliyah felt confused on what to do.Kelvin closed his eyes again and didn't bother to open them. This made Luliyah feel uneasy. She kept changing her sitting position, trying to find a comfortable space. In the end, she could only surrender in annoyance and stare at the window while trying to forget the anger of the man seated beside her.Meanwhile; Harris, who was in the front passenger seat was not quite disturbed by the silence in the car. He was busy carrying out his duties as Kelvin's assistant. As Kelvin's confidant, apart from accompanying his boss wherever he went, Harris was also responsible for maintaining Kelvin's image and the company he led.When an argument broke out in the cafe earlier, he saw some girls recording the incident. In order to manage Williams's corporate image, he confiscated all the tapes and asked the girls to
The continuing silence made Luliyah eyes feel even heavier. Her eyelids kept dropping even though she tried hard to stay up. The big fight with her father and Natali made her so tired. Plus, Kelvin's anger left her feeling terrified the whole time.It felt like all her strength was completely exhausted. In the end, she gave up on the drowsiness and fell asleep...She fell asleep like a child, that she did not even realize the situation around her. Her head fell to the right and left, before finally landing onto Kelvin's shoulder. Kelvin could feel something touching his shoulder, so he opened his eyes. When he turned his head, Kelvin saw the woman beside him was fast asleep leaning on his shoulder.He took a deep breath when he saw her.He was angry with Luliyah, but she fell asleep.However, when he saw Luliyah's exhausted face, his heart melted. He knew that Luliyah had a very long day. He could imagine how disappointed Luliyah was when she realized her father's indifference towards
After a long journey, the car finally stopped in front of the house. Luliyah was still leaning on Kelvin's shoulder, fast asleep, unaware that they had arrived at their destination. Agi quickly opened the car while Binta and the other servants hurriedly lined up in front of the car to welcome their master.Before they could open their mouths to greet Kelvin and Luliyah, they saw Kelvin put his finger to his lips, gesturing everyone to remain silent. Kelvin asked them to be quiet. The servants exchanged astonished glances. Mrs Binta tried to peek into the car, which made Harris who was standing beside her, nudge her gently.Kelvin got out of the car carrying Luliyah, while making sure she was still sleeping. Luliyah muttered some words, waking up a little by the time she lost her support. In the end, she fell asleep as her face was buried in Kelvin's arms.Kelvin walked to the main room, followed by Mrs Binta who opened the door for him. She lifted the blanket on the big bed and straig
Luliyah kept on thinking about how she would apologize to Kelvin for making him eat his dinner late. Their last argument in the car made Kelvin angry with her. Kelvin asked for something that Luliyah could possibly not do, but she understood that Kelvin was only thinking about her kindness. The man was innocent; it was the circumstances that made it impossible.It seems she has to apologize to Kelvin, so that the atmosphere between them won't be awkward.Even though they didn't love each other, they were now bound by a marriage that would last a lifetime. They would live together for a long time. Even though there was no love between them, they still had to adapt to each other way of life.She must apologize to Kelvin.Luliyah entered the dining room and saw nobody even though different kinds of foods had been served on the table. Kelvin didn't wait for her at the table as usual. At other side of the room, the man was facing the window and looking at the calm lake. The man stood with
