"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
"I would like to apologize to you on behalf of my parents, especially my father. I'm sorry if any of his words may have offended or even hurt you, believe me, he didn't know anything." Amanda had a wide range of feelings to say this, which she had dared to express to her husband since returning from the Griscouv family home.The four wheels of the car were still moving, but they would soon arrive at the mansion, since entering the car—there was no conversation whatsoever, Oriaga and Amanda were thinking about the burden in their heads. Meanwhile, Zayn was busy guessing the next plot.Before visiting Amanda's parents' house, they were still able to taunt and warn each other, but after leaving that place, their moods became quite chaotic, especially Oriaga. He just didn't show it to anyone.Amanda felt very reluctant to face Oriaga, she couldn't forbid Mateo to stop saying anything, didn't almost all fathers want the best happiness if their daughter married a man and took her away from
"I'm so glad to know that Mr. Oriaga took his wife to visit your parents' house, Miss," Aunt Rosemary said as she served breakfast this morning, she hadn't had a chance to ask Amanda yesterday because Oriaga's wife hadn't come downstairs since returning from her parents' house."Yes. I'm confused too, what got into her to be so generous, I thought he would never do that."Aunt Rosemary smiled, she dared to say it directly to Amanda because they had become very close since Oriaga's wife invited her to exchange ideas. Something no other servant could have done."But, I can't feel relieved after all this, Auntie. I don't know why, my mind is pressing like that.""Mr. Oriaga does change easily, then revert to his original character.""Maybe it's because he met Nadine, my sister, that his way of thinking has become different. Whatever it is is a little better, I even forgot to thank him.""You can do that when Mr. Oriaga comes back to visit the mansion."Amanda nodded. "Thank you for the f
The man got out of the car with a big smile, he was carrying a shopping bag that he wanted to share with Amanda, then Jeff walked down the yard, but an irregularity was seen when Jeff found that Amanda's porch light was on, while it was already noon, the light should have been extinguished.Not only that, but the dust had accumulated there, and when Jeff picked up his shoes, his footprints were imprinted on the floor, leaving the owner even more confused. He wasn't too surprised that the window blinds or doors were closed tightly during the day, depending on the homeowner's convenience.Jeff knocked on the door, calling Amanda and Pamela's names, but there was no answer, so he turned to Amanda's bedroom window, knocking again.Someone cleared their throat.Jeff turned around to find a middle-aged man standing on the sidewalk, watching the stranger."Ah. I can ask you a question." He smiled awkwardly as he approached the old man. "Sorry, Uncle. My name is Jeff, I'd like to—""Are you l
