"Sir, how about it? Can we go to Mr. Andreas' office right now? He just contacted me."Felix had indeed helped take Lucas to the hospital to bring Deasy, who suddenly lost consciousness.While Lucas accompanied Deasy, who was receiving medical treatment from the emergency room team, Felix chose to wait for his boss in the car. However, after sixty minutes had passed, Lucas had not returned to the car.Felix naturally felt puzzled. As there was a scheduled meeting with Andreas Morales, who is Lucas' father, this afternoon, he decided to follow up. As he entered the hospital lobby, he found Lucas sitting quietly, looking down in front of the Emergency Room, as if pondering a serious problem."Sir..." called Felix in a slightly loud voice. But Lucas didn't pay any attention to him. "Is everything alright, Mr. Lucas?"Lucas, who was initially motionless, then looked up. He stared intensely at Felix, showing an expression that was difficult to interpret.For God's sake, Lucas seemed speech
At home, while sitting in his office lost in thought, Lucas appeared visibly restless. Anxious, troubled, and agitated.Throughout the afternoon, during his meeting with his father, Lucas was completely unfocused. His mind wandered, thinking about how to handle the issue of Deasy's pregnancy.Felix had promised to help him find a way out. That's why Felix was now standing there, waiting for Lucas to make a decision."I handled things at the hospital, sir. I made sure all the medical team, including the doctor who treated Deasy, keeps quiet about your knowledge of her current condition.""Okay, then what should I do now?"Felix approached, asking permission to sit down, and then faced Lucas, who was massaging his forehead."As planned, per your father's instructions, Lucas Orion must immediately return to Quantum Tech and start the process of resigning while Lucas Morales is away on duty in Singapore.""Okay... Lucas Orion indeed has to resign so Lunas Morales can be free to work at Qu
"Luc, are you really going to resign from Quantum Tech?"Several staff members from the finance division gathered in front of Lucas' desk. After learning that the bespectacled man intended to resign from the company, they all swarmed in, awaiting clarification and a more detailed explanation for why someone who had been dedicated to the finance department for over a year was now deciding to leave the company.Lucas' performance and career at the company had been impressive. He was even expected to receive a promotion soon to the position of assistant manager.However, just before the promotion could happen, Lucas made a decision that was highly surprising. Out of the blue, after returning from a few days of leave, he announced his decision to resign. It was ironic."Yes, it's final. Once I finish all my pending tasks at Quantum Tech, I'll be leaving.""But why so sudden?" Della asked, looking lost. She admitted that Lucas had willingly helped her with many of her tasks."Yeah," Androm
For the past three days, Deasy had secluded herself in her apartment. Taking advantage of the fact that she had suddenly fainted earlier, she chose not to go to work, citing illness as the reason. However, physically, Deasy was perfectly fine. It was her mental state that had been shaken after hearing the medical diagnosis. "You're pregnant, Deasy! Remember, you're P-R-E-G-N-A-N-T," she said, emphasizing each letter. "Finally, what you feared has happened. So, who are you going to hold responsible?" She had repeated that sentence countless times. Deasy tried to deny the reality that she was pregnant. Many thoughts crossed her mind, from finding a potential father to support and take responsibility, to hiring a husband or, worst of all, terminating the pregnancy. But one thing was for sure: Deasy did not want to marry Lucas Orion under any circumstances. "No," she shook her head repeatedly. "Even if it's doomsday, I will not marry Lucas Orion. No way!" Despite Lucas' earlier offe
After contemplating for about four days and taking some time off, Deasy finally made up her mind to return to her activities.She pushed away the feelings of turmoil that had briefly taken hold of her and tried to act as normal as possible so that no one would suspect what she was currently going through.In any case, Dessy was determined. Not a single person should know that she was expecting a baby at the moment.When she arrived at the Quantum Tech building, Deasy was warmly welcomed by several staff members who had been part of her core team under her division. Some even gladly escorted her to her office, and she resumed her usual routine.Deasy felt immensely thankful and grateful to God for blessing her with responsible subordinates who had a high level of loyalty to their superiors and the company. When she returned to the office, all the deadlines she had left behind had been completed neatly without any remaining tasks. It only required a single review and her signature."If
"Do I really need to go to the obstetrician?"Deasy entered Veronica's car with a grumpy expression. She had just come home from work, and before she could even lie down and rest, her friend had come and insisted on taking her to the obstetrician for a check-up on her baby's condition.Deasy admitted that Veronica was a good and caring friend, but she really didn't want to go to the obstetrician."It's necessary. So that you know exactly how your pregnancy is progressing."Veronica nonchalantly fastened Deasy's seatbelt for her, then continued driving to the hospital.Upon arriving at their destination, Veronica wasted no time and ushered Deasy into the obstetrician's office. After waiting for about ten minutes, they were called in and invited to enter the examination room."Please lie down here, so I can perform the examination," the obstetrician requested as she prepared for the procedure.A nurse helped guide Deasy to the patient's bed. She was allowed to lie down comfortably, and
I don't know if it's just Deasy's feeling or if it's actually the fact that day by day feels like it's dragging on for so long. Well, what does it mean, anyway? Anyway, Deasy feels like the days are passing by very slowly.If she could ask God for a favor, she would want her pregnancy to instantly be nine months old. Can you imagine that?It does sound impossible, though. But, to be honest, she feels overwhelmed. It's not about taking care of the little baby inside her belly. It's more about worry and embarrassment, especially as her belly gets bigger, it's bound to attract attention from people around.But, because she's aware that she's covered in sin, it feels undeserving to ask for anything from God. As Veronica says,"Be grateful! Who asked you to keep getting drunk and not taking care of yourself? Sleeping with just anyone. Twice, even. Now you're pregnant, suddenly you're all worked up and dizzy."As a friend, Veronica falls into the category of Luck-nut friends. Instead of hel
"Sir, my audit team and I have checked multiple times. Arinda, Mr. Daniel's wife, doesn't have any foreign accounts or suspected involvement in money laundering or anything of the sort. The investigation has been thorough. I can assure you we won't be wrong."In the office space in his home, Lucas received a report from Felix. One task had been successfully completed by his assistant. Now, it was up to him to slowly investigate Deasy. Whether his boss had foreign accounts suspected to be where Daniel had hidden the company's money."So, we can remove her from the list.""Yes, Sir. Now it's just Ms. Deasy. For her, I leave it entirely to you, Mr. Lucas."Lucas nodded his head and reached for the documents that Felix had provided earlier, reading them once more."At first glance, Deasy's documents are clean, white, like Eid clothes. There's no stain.""But, it doesn't rule out the possibility that she received illicit funds from Mr. Daniel, right?"Lucas nodded."Yeah, all those possibi
