"Natali set me up! She spiked my drink and sent me to Kelvin's room. Why should I be blamed for the thing I didn't do?" Luliyah shouted, trying to defend herself from her father's accusation.The voices of Martins and Luliyah grew louder and attracted the attention of the visitors in the cafe, including Natali who followed her father on purpose.From her seat, Natali could hear Luliyah chanting her name. She knew Luliyah was not an idiot and she must have known that it was her who planned it all. Luliyah must have known that Natali was the one who set her up.But she didn't care. After all, Luliyah couldn't do anything. What could that woman do? Just at the moment, everyone looked at Luliyah in disgust. They all thought of Luliyah as a cheap woman who flirted with someone else's fiance.The look on the faces of the visitors seated in the cafe made Natali happy. She could hear them whispering and insulting Luliyah."Looks like I know the woman sitting there" One of the diners beside Na
The coffee did not only soak Luliyah's body, her long hair was also wet. She was so surprised that Natali suddenly poured the coffee on her. Her body became stiff and hot.Shock, anger and resentment mixed in her heart, 'What is my fault that I am treated this way?'She could hear the people around her whispering. They insulted her and mocked her for being a slut and seducer.A cheap woman, a seductive woman, a woman who snatched someone's fiance...The words coming out of their mouths made Luliyah very sad and embarrassed. They considered Luliyah as a bad woman because of the news that was circulating.She didn't even get a chance to defend herself.Luliyah lowered her head, seeing the condition of her outfit. The clothes that Mrs Binta chose for her. The dress made her feel cheerful when she left the house. The beautiful dress was now dirty, covered with coffee stains.She looked up at her father's face. Mr Martins just stared at her coldly. Her father didn't do anything. He didn't
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
