As planned, during the campfire event that evening, Ashton gave a speech, thanked everyone, and handed out the prizes for the contests held by the office that week.

Ashton also celebrated the office's anniversary by blowing out candles and cutting a cake, just like a regular birthday party.

Interestingly, before the birthday celebration ended and the entertainment began, Ashton prepared a surprise. With the help of some staff, he brought out another cake and placed it on the table.

"Friends…" Ashton called for the attention of the staff gathered in the field. "Before I close the event, I want to share some happiness tonight. Since the office anniversary coincides with my wife Alice's birthday, I want to celebrate it with all of you."

Immediately, the staff cheered and clapped. Some shouted for Alice to come forward to join Ashton.

Alice, initially surprised, shyly stood up and walked towards Ashton, who was lighting the candles for her to blow out.

    Anggia had just opened her eyes. Blinking a few times, the irritation from the unpleasant events at yesterday's office event immediately surged back and lingered in her heart.Turning towards the nightstand, Anggia reached for her phone. When she checked, a message notification made her jump.Quickly, Anggia sat up straight. Moving her slender fingers, she swiped the text message icon on the phone screen to carefully read what her colleague had sent her.Edric: Anggia, I’ve got the information you need. Let’s have breakfast together before you go to work. I have something to show you. I’ll tell you the location once we get there.A wide smile spread across Anggia’s pretty face. Impatiently, she climbed out of bed. Humming happily, Anggia hurriedly cleaned herself up, got ready, and put on some makeup. She then rushed to a café before heading to the office to meet the person she had paid handsomely to investigate something."Anggia!"As soon as she arrived and entered one of the well-k

In the early days of college, she had participated in a student exchange program and was fortunate to have the opportunity to study design in Singapore.Somehow, Ashton had managed all the paperwork for today's departure. Earlier at his parents' house, Ashton had promised his parents to take Alice on a honeymoon as soon as possible. But Alice hadn't expected it to be this soon. And Japan was the destination he chose for their trip.Ashton claimed it was a birthday present for Alice while also keeping his promise to Umi Hana. The problem was that Alice hadn't prepared anything for their trip. However, Ashton assured her that all the items she needed had been packed by Bu Tina and put into the suitcase that Ashton had placed in his car."Why do you look so tense?" Ashton sounded concerned. He carefully observed how Alice's face had remained tense and serious since they left and even now, during the flight.Perhaps Alice wa

    Anggia had just stepped out of Ashton’s office. As far as she remembered, she hadn’t seen him at the office since yesterday. If Ashton was on a business trip, Anggia should have known. But there had been no news or notification at all.Even though they had a conflict yesterday, she tried to remain professional. Besides, there were work issues that Anggia needed to report to Ashton. However, she was having some trouble. When she tried to contact Ashton, he didn’t answer her calls even once.“Where exactly is Ashton?” Anggia muttered outside his office.She was reluctant to ask Ashton’s secretary, who was stationed in front of the office. Usually, when she wanted to meet Ashton, she would just go straight into his office. But with no other choice, Anggia approached the secretary.“Is Ashton out of the office on a business trip or something?” Anggia asked directly, without any greeting or pleasantries.The secretary immediately looked up, stood up, and nodded politely.“Mr. Ashton has be

    Alice woke up. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw Ashton still sleeping right next to her.Last night, as Alice remembered, she was sitting and waiting. Not long after, she noticed Ashton receiving a phone call from someone unknown. While waiting for Ashton to finish his conversation, Alice pondered deeply about what she would do next."Seriously, tonight I have to make love with you?"Alice swallowed hard. The nervousness that had subsided now returned. The anxiety and doubts that had briefly crossed her mind began to haunt her again. Especially when she remembered the short message Rumi sent earlier in the day.**Rumi:** "Alice, enjoy your honeymoon. I’ve asked Tina to put a special dress in your suitcase. And remember, you have to wear it in front of Ashton to make him happy."**Alice:** "What kind of dress did you put in?"**Rumi:** "You’ll see. I chose a color Ashton likes. Don’t forget to start everything with a prayer. If you can’t handle it, just wave to the camera. But if you e

After that, Ashton and Alice decided to have breakfast together on the first floor of the hotel with the other guests.They enjoyed breakfast together for about an hour. Exactly at ten o'clock, after the driver Ashton arranged arrived, the two decided to leave immediately.Because she was completely unfamiliar with Japan, Alice fully entrusted their itinerary and travel plans to Ashton. She didn't care where her husband took her. As long as Alice could be a compliant child ready to be taken anywhere."We've arrived," Ashton said, his words snapping Alice out of her reverie as she had been engrossed in looking at the scenery from the car window."Universal Studios?" Alice asked to confirm. She didn't expect that Ashton would bring her all the way to Japan to visit a place she had already been to in Singapore.She had thought Ashton would take her to popular tourist attractions she had often seen in news articles

If you looked closely, her expression clearly showed that Anggia was afraid of missing this important call. She had been waiting for confirmation since yesterday. That’s why she believed this call would bring good news.“Ms. Anggia...” someone called out from the other end as Anggia answered the phone.“Yes, how is it?”“I’ve arranged everything, ma’am. He’s already in Jakarta.”Anggia smiled broadly. In her heart, she cheered with joy because what she had worked so hard for was about to bear fruit.“Great, what else?”“As for accommodation, for now, I’ve placed him in a guest house as per your instructions. He’s on standby now. If you want to meet him, I can arrange that.”Anggia nodded. If it could be taken care of quickly, why delay? She thought the sooner it was realized, the sooner she would get the results.“Okay. Arrange for a lunch meeting today, okay

Sitting in front of the television, she kept replaying the events of last night with her husband.Wanting to clean herself, she had tripped and lost her balance, accidentally landing on Ashton’s lap.

But instead of helping her up, Ashton kissed her without warning.Previously, as Ashton’s assistant, Alice had once done something embarrassing.

    "Ashton, there's no need to rush. How about we hang out or grab some drinks after this?"After spending the whole day in a meeting with an old friend, Ashton had finished his tasks and was about to head home. However, after having dinner together, Ashton's friend wouldn't let him leave right away. He kept suggesting that Ashton stay a little longer."We haven't seen each other in such a long time. Besides, it's just for tonight."Ashton smiled. Being persuaded like this made him feel a bit uneasy. But he also realized that he'd been out all day and was worried Alice might be waiting for him too long. Especially since it was getting late."Thanks a lot for the offer, Felix. But you know I don't drink. Besides, it's already late. I need to get home. In case you forgot, I'm married now, and my wife is probably waiting for me."Felix smiled. Seeing that Ashton seemed firm in his decision and probably couldn't be convinced to stay, he let his old friend go. He didn't want to make Ashton un

A-Are you seriously ill? Or did the doctor say I don't have much time left?"Ashton actually wanted to laugh. But he refrained from doing so. The overwhelming emotion enveloping his heart right now was more dominant than anything else."I'm fine," Ashton finally replied. He looked at Alice with a gaze that was hard to interpret.
