Nadine dropped her phone on the floor after finding an article from a major media outlet reporting that Oriaga had been harassed by a Russian model while visiting Melbourne.Pamela and Mateo were confused by Nadine's behavior, as they didn't know anything about their son-in-law."Oh my God! How is that possible?" Nadine bent down to pick up her phone, she double-checked the article—expecting a name mistake, but when she read the whole story through, there was no mistake, and they even wrote Oriaga's long name on it, explaining that she was visiting Melbourne to attend an annual event."Mom, Dad. Have you seen it?" Nadine looked at them as she swallowed, it had been a long time since she knew her sister's news, but to suddenly find a trending news headline like this, left the woman completely shocked."Found out about what?" asked Mateo, they were enjoying breakfast this morning with calmness, but it seemed that it would soon leave and be replaced by anxiety."I hope you respond calmly
While Oriaga was busy dealing with his problems, Amanda was calm because she didn't know anything, the woman sat on a park bench in the backyard, she again used her hands to draw, but no longer something of everything around her, but made a design of a dress that was quite thought-provoking.Autumn made the leaves leave their stalks, making the tree lonely because it had to feel lost again every time fall came.Amanda could still occupy a park bench in the morning or evening, but she dared not do so during the day because the sunlight was hardly friendly to anyone.Once in a while, Amanda could accept the positives of being isolated from the outside world like this, she began to get used to it as well as not hearing bad news or seeing unpleasant situations out there even though her mind was quite turbulent and rebelled to escape immediately."Is this picture perfect?" Amanda muttered, she managed to come up with a colorless dress design after two hours of sitting there. "I'll keep it,
When Nadine was able to visit Gregorious' office after getting permission from her boss, she had to swallow hard, her hopes of meeting Oriaga had to be dashed because an office staff informed everyone in the office yard that Oriaga did not come to the office today, and they could not confirm when Oriaga would return.Not only Nadine was very disappointed, but also the reporters in the courtyard, they waited for Oriaga's appearance since morning until the sun was getting hotter, unfortunately, the new staff informed them that Oriaga was not in the office, making their wait nonsense.Nadine sat down on the sidewalk, and she felt her whole body become weak, the effort to reach this place was quite difficult, she almost didn't get permission, but when she received a waiver—her efforts were in vain."He's not even in his office, where should I go to find Oriaga, huh? What can I say to Mom and Dad, they must have high hopes for me." Nadine complained, she had never felt this disappointed, e
"Sir, I want to tell—" Zayn paused, he turned to Joana, then back to Oriaga, deliberately giving a clue that he only wanted to talk one-on-one with his boss."Tell you what?" Oriaga asked.However, Zayn remained silent but cleared his throat."Ah. Joana, you can come out for a moment, I want to talk to Zayn alone," Oriaga ordered.Joana frowned when she looked at Zayn, but she tried to understand and moved out of Oriaga's study in the house.After the door was completely closed, Zayn continued."Excuse me, sir. I wanted to inform you that Miss Nadine is outside.""Nadine?" Oriaga was taken aback. "You mean Nadine Griscouv?"The assistant nodded. "Yes, she's here, she was hoping to meet you. She's confused about how to get in because the bodyguards are tight outside, she said her parents are worried about your abuse case."Oriaga chuckled, suddenly his head felt dizzy, he even remembered that he had another family, Amanda's family. They must have found out about it from the trending ne
"Be careful on the road, thank you for meeting me and giving me some of your time, Oriaga," Nadine said as she escorted her brother-in-law out of the coffee shop with Rudolf, for almost an hour they discussed the matter involving Oriaga.The man nodded. "Yes, thank you too for trusting me, say hello to Mom and Dad, sorry I haven't been able to visit them yet, but I promise I'll make time to visit soon.""Yes. Bye."Oriaga entered the car, Zayn had pressed the horn before driving the car away from the area, now Oriaga could breathe without pressure after parting with Nadine. The man was almost crazy for having to explain so carefully to his sister-in-law about Elia Pinot."Everything okay, sir?" asked Zayn."Yes. Fortunately, it's fine even though I'm quite stressed, that woman is good at talking and finding loopholes to corner." He snorted. "But, I'm still safe." It was as if Oriaga was swimming on the high seas and being chased by a ferocious shark, but he managed to escape."Thank g
"Zayn!" especiallyAmanda exclaimed while showing a big smile at Zayn's appearance at the mansion this morning, he was not alone, but with Oriaga.Zayn's body suddenly stiffened, he became tense and confused at the same time in response to Amanda's cheerful greeting, even though his boss's wife had never done anything like this, so Zayn's reflection when he saw her was silent, he was like receiving an electric shock."Zayn. You're finally here," Amanda said, her steps stopping right in front of her husband's assistant."Yes, Miss. Do you need anything?" asked Zayn even though he started to get goosebumps when he glanced at Oriaga and found his boss's expression, Oriaga frowned while looking at Amanda without blinking, perhaps he was also confused in response to Amanda's behavior toward Zayn was very different."Yes. I've been waiting for you for days." She smiled kindly, something Oriaga had never gotten, but Amanda showed it to the other man, making Oriaga's hands clench into fists.
During the trip to Nieuwmarkt en Lastage, the pair of humans in the passenger seats were silent after finding the best deal despite the arguments. Oriaga had deliberately given his wife a second chance to meet the Griscouv family, the man wanted to take care of this small matter before departing for Moscow tomorrow, he felt that the situation would not be simple.Oriaga forced himself to relent, he was afraid that Nadine would come back to him without hesitation, either to Gregorious' office or even his house like yesterday. He saw a lot of courage in Nadine, she had said that she would take her parents to visit Oriaga's house if he didn't go to Nieuwmarkt en Lastage soon.Oriaga was quite impressed, Nadine was good at finding loopholes to pressure him, so the man was disturbed because he always imagined Nadine's threats.This morning Oriaga woke up with a great desire to take Amanda to visit his parents' house after almost three months of marriage.Amanda was about to explode when sh
"Where are you right now? Why didn't I see you at the boss's house?" Dean asked over the phone.Zayn stared at the Griscouvs' mansion, he was still sitting in the car when Amanda and Oriaga were at the Griscouvs' house. "I'll give you 100$ if you can guess, Dean.""You're trying to make fun of me, huh? You must be in Gregorious' office."Zayn smiled wryly. "Of course not, I can even send you the location right now if you have any doubts.""Then where is it, huh? Give me that 100$.""I'm in front of Miss Amanda's parents' house.""Bastard! Is that true? Don't hallucinate, Zayn. You must be alone because I'm not sure the boss will—""The boss is with me." Zayn grinned even more, happy to discuss all the absurdities about Oriaga with Dean. "You still don't believe me?""Wait a minute. Is Miss Amanda there too?""Of course, they had their first visit after getting married three months ago. Isn't it very romantic? Give me your 100$, Dean.""Hey! I didn't ask you to bet, brat.""But, you're
