"Amanda's dress is torn?""That's right, sir. If you don't believe me, I can send you a photo.""Yes, you can, but what did that woman do to tear her dress, huh? Is she depressed and crazy to ruin her things?""No, sir. Miss Amanda is fine. I confirmed it with the servants, but they did not know about the torn dress."Oriaga snorted. "Thank you for reporting it to me, Zayn. It turns out she's quite a prodigy.""Yes, sir. I'm ending the call."After putting the phone away from his ear, Oriaga opened the marketplace app again, and he did not feel burdened if he had to spend money on Amanda, even though Oriaga had spent tens of thousands of dollars to pay off all his wife's family debts.He looked at several official stores of other clothing brands before ordering seven dresses and three pajamas for Amanda. Like yesterday, Oriaga would immediately fill in the mansion's address as the delivery destination.He switched to the corded phone and spoke to someone. "Please bring the catalog of
"What kind of silliness is this." Amanda's head became so dizzy after seeing several maids enter her room while carrying many shopping bags filled with gift boxes with various ornate ribbons tied, and they looked very luxurious.Now, the bed in Amanda's room was full of them, making her cluck and complain, as Oriaga's behavior was too much for her.If only she had a cell phone, she would have immediately called her husband to protest and return the items."Yesterday it was perfume, so what will it be today?" She huffed, looking at everything on the bed because Amanda never expected anything from Oriaga. She didn't want the man's wealth, and she just wanted an everyday life.Amanda was in denial that having a wealthy CEO husband like Oriaga Niel must have brought many surprises, and she could get anything if she asked for it, even when Amanda never said anything to her husband, making Amanda feel like the mansion's walls could hear everything.All the facilities in the mansion made her
Usually, Oriaga would visit the mansion after office hours, but today, the man showed up early, around seven in the morning. Even though Amanda had not yet woken up, his wife was still asleep even though the autumn sunlight had greeted the earth's inhabitants.Oriaga did not need anyone's permission to enter Amanda's room, so he immediately opened the door without knocking. She was sleeping on her right side with the blanket wrapped around her, Amanda's hair partially covering her face.Oriaga's footsteps seemed to echo but had not managed to disturb Amanda's morning. The man approached the window before opening the curtains wide enough for sunlight to penetrate Amanda's room, which was previously only lit by a bed lamp."I still want to sleep, so let me do it. I went to bed at two in the morning last night." Amanda babbled without opening her eyes, feeling that the person who had opened the curtains was one of the mansion's servants."So lazy. How did she fall asleep at two in the mo
Since their last fight over Oriaga's dress that morning, he hadn't revisited the mansion for almost two weeks. The man had gone silent, never even ordering Zayn to check on his wife's condition, but Zayn had taken the initiative to call the mansion's guard number.Oriaga was getting busier in the office, so he didn't want to think about anything else, especially since he had several new styles of clothes that were still in the production stage. He also handled the renewal of cooperation contracts with business partners and the renewal of rental building contracts or shops in many shopping centers spread throughout the Netherlands.Oriaga didn't have time to think about Amanda, as if he was still the single man in his life, even though the wedding ring was on his ring finger, but he was never seen or deliberately blinded to his wife."Miss Amanda, she is like to eat those oats?" asked Aunt Rosemary to a servant in front of the elevator on the main floor, eagerly waiting for her return
Amanda hadn't realized it yet when someone joined her behind her back and hugged her, kissing her head before closing his eyes.While in the mansion's front yard, Zayn sat on the car's hood while looking at the balcony of Amanda's room. He managed to persuade Oriaga after repeated refusals, but tonight, the man's conscience was knocked, making Zayn feel very grateful.It was eleven o'clock at night, and Zayn should have returned home, but hearing Oriaga's agreement to visit the mansion made Zayn undo the intention to go home. It didn't matter if he came home late as long as he saw the situation between Oriaga and Amanda improve."Would you like some coffee?" offered the mansion guard as he held up a coffee cup, suddenly appearing beside Zayn, almost taking him by surprise."No, Uncle. Thank you.""He came." The stocky man laughed when he saw the balcony of Amanda's room. "The photo I got is compelling, isn't it?"Zayn nodded, and he smiled. "That's right, Uncle. I also sent the photo
Aunt Rosemary almost screamed in surprise at Amanda's appearance near midnight on the main floor, plus the woman's appearance must have made others think that they saw a ghostly apparition in the mansion.With a long white dress, messy loose hair, and a pale face without a touch of makeup, anyone can scream if they meet Amanda in this position. Fortunately, Aunt Rosemary was okay. She intended to go to her room—which was joined by another maid's room to rest, but Amanda's appearance made the woman's intention fail."Oh my, Miss Amanda. What are you looking for so late at night like this to come down to the main floor? I thought you were asleep," Aunt Rosemary said, swallowing hard as she took in Amanda's disturbed state."I'm hungry." The woman spoke softly so Aunt Rosemary didn't hear her."How is it, Miss? Can you repeat that?""I'm hungry." She had been crying all day, as evidenced by her sad face and swollen eyes, all because Oriaga's words had hurt so much. Amanda's voice became
Since his pair of feet stepped on Melbourne soil, Oriaga's feelings became so anxious. He didn't know the problem, but worry followed the man like a shadow that stuck. At the same time, he had to constantly look confident in front of everyone, showing his best image.Fortunately, Oriaga could master the anxiety so that it would not float away and be seen by everyone. He remained calm from joining the big event in a magnificent building until it was over. Joana didn't notice anything that happened to Oriaga.The event, which lasted for almost four hours, closed sweetly when one of the world's famous soloists performed on the grand stage, making his voice shake the entire building, but Oriaga decided to leave. He felt his head was getting dizzy and wanted to rest immediately.Many photographers' cameras had taken pictures of him when he appeared on the red carpet, making him more charming and authoritative. They managed to get close-ups of Oriaga from various sides.Now, when he came ou
He doesn't know if he should feel lucky or unlucky right now because after ending a business meeting with her boss, Joana received a call from Elena. The little girl wanted some of the latest collection from Sanri*, which happened to have a significant discount on purchases this month, making her mother blink in confusion.Elena loved dolls from the Sanri* brand, and she had many in her room as Joana managed to collect every time she went to another country."Yes, I'll buy it for you.""Thank you very much, mom. I'm waiting for you at home."Joana grunted after ending the call, but she still looked happy to hear her daughter's voice."What's wrong?" asked Oriaga as he descended the stairs to their pickup across the street, finding Joana at the end of the steps."Eum, Elena just called me, sir.""So?""She wanted something, and I saw a discount promotion from the city's largest shopping mall online. I didn't know that she wanted another collection.""Ah. You'd better look for those thi
