"What are you doing, Mr?" Riana was shocked to see Wira licking the leftover food from her lips."Just doing the normal thing," Wira said."That's dirty, Mr. Don't do it again next time!""I don't think it's dirty because it came from you," Wira teased."Huh? It's still dirty whether I did it or not! Just don't do it again, I really don't like it!" Riana grumbled."Yes, I won't do it again in the future." Wira rested his head on one hand and looked at Riana intently."Mr,I mean it." Riana crossed her arms over her chest and stared at Wira; she thought he was playing a trick on her."I'm serious too,""But your face doesn't look serious.""Then what does my face look like?" Wira brought his face closer to Riana because the table blocked their position.Riana turned her face away, not wanting to see Wira's face, which was now only a few centimetres away. "Like playing with me.""When you talk, you have to look at the other person, don't turn your face away like that, it's not polite," W
Reynald adjusted his hair roughly; he could not explain that the salary here was so high that it would be a shame to leave the company just because of a beautiful woman. The fight to get to this position was tough, and it was sure that if he quit, his mother would curse him later. When else would a manager's salary be higher than in other companies? "No way! I've been working here since the beginning, how can I quit so easily?" grumbled Reynald angrily because Diandra's attitude was too much for him. "So you don't want to stop working here?" asked Diandra angrily. Reynald's words made Diandra even angrier. Reynald, who saw Diandra getting emotional, immediately softened his voice for fear of losing the beautiful woman, "That's not what mas meant. Honey, it's very difficult to find a job now if you don't work, what about our wedding plans? How is it possible that you want to get married only with consent?" Reynald persuaded. "Of course. I don't want to get married with only conse
"Um," Riana looked very hesitant. To be honest, Riana was embarrassed to ask a man who was nobody. When she was alone with her husband, she never asked for anything because if you asked, you never got anything. "You shouldn't hesitate, because you know yourself that I can buy anything for you," Wira said convincingly, even though it sounded arrogant to anyone who heard it. "I will be mistaken for a matre woman." Riana stroked her arm, afraid of being called such a woman. "No one will call you a matre. If I don't buy you anything, they'll think I'm a man without money or that I'm stingy because I take a woman out but don't buy her food or what she wants. Even though I am a capable person," "But i reluctant," Riana said, still insisting on not being bought anything. "Are you asking for a plane, a jet, or a private island?" Wira asked, knitting her eyebrows together. "Huh? How could I ask for something like that and why should I?" Riana's eyes widened in surprise. "Well, then, th
"Be careful, Mr. The coffee is still hot," Riana said worriedly.Wira immediately grabbed a handkerchief from his pocket and hurried to clean his face because there was a lot of coffee on it."Next time, let it cool down before you drink it." "I was too thirsty to notice that the coffee was still hot," Wira lied to hide his feelings."Shall I get you some water? The coffee's still hot," Riana offered."Can't you blow on it?" "You can't blow on hot drinks or food, it's not good for your health. It will cool down slowly because the ACC is on in this room." Riana fetched some water for Wira.Wira welcomed the glass of water Riana gave him. Unconsciously, their hands touched, causing Wira's newly calmed heart to beat fast again. The man hurried to pick up his glass roughly, afraid that Riana would hear the sound of his heart because the distance between them was so close."Thank you." Wira turned he face away and swallowed quickly."That's my job, Mr. Because I'm your secretary." She sm
"Maybe it's because Wira likes her, so I'm very excited and, can't resist bringing them closer together as soon as possible. Especially after I found out that Wira had missed out," Desi murmured quietly."Be patient. If it's a match, it won't go anywhere." Mbok stroked Desi's shoulder gently, hoping she wouldn't act rashly."Thank you, Mbok." Desi gripped the middle-aged woman's hand."Let's go inside. Mbok has made fried bananas and hot tea." Mbok took Desi's arm and they held hands as they walked inside."Where are we going?" asked Riana."We're going to eat in a restaurant." Wira replied as he continued to concentrate on driving."Um," Riana mumbled, wanting to speak but hesitating.Hearing Riana's voice, which sounded as if she wanted to say something, Wira turned his head. "Just say it, no need to hesitate like that.""Can I eat at a roadside or food stall? I'm not used to eating in restaurants, besides my tongue is not suitable, the portions are too small." Riana scratched her h
"What do you mean?" Wira frowned; he didn't understand the meaning of Riana's words."You know that many women are girls, but not virgins. Does that mean you've done it?" Riana explained."No, I haven't. I've never done anything like that. I know from the words of my friends that they often tell me that they have done it with women who are still girls, but they are not virgins," Wira said honestly.In fact, Wira never did it with anyone. His heart was still filled with Riana alone."I think you've done it before, so I know a lot of things. Indeed, today's socialization is very free and those who keep their chastity have to be snatched away by evil people instead, how wild the world is now," Riana murmured."That's how the world is, maybe it's because the world is too old that many do such inappropriate things." Wira shook her head."Where are we going after this?" asked Riana, changing the subject."I want us to take a walk in the park first because the ticket for the movie will be wr
"What is it, Riana?" Wira heard Riana speak, but it was unclear because it was too crowded.Instead of answering, Riana pointed to the back of the line, which made Wira immediately pay attention to who she was pointing at."He came to the movie cinema with a new woman, it looks very romantic. When he was with me, he never even invited me here," Riana murmured.Wira who already knew that the person Riana was referring to was Reynald and his mistress, sighed heavily. Indeed, it wasn't easy to love a recently separated woman like Riana because it would not be easy for her to forget her ex-husband and love Wira as soon as possible.Wira put his arm around Riana's shoulders, even though his heart hurt because he was jealous of Reynald."What are you doing?" she asked uncomfortably."Me? Of course, I'm trying to make him jealous and sorry for leaving such a beautiful and good woman like you." Wira tightened his embrace so that their bodies were very close together."But I don't feel comfort
"Yes, of course it is. Right, sweetheart?" Wira gave Riana a code to confirm his words.Riana was silent for a long time; she didn't want to lie because they had no relationship except as boss and secretary."Riana didn't answer, that means no," Diandra said.Diandra was incredulous that Riana could have found a more handsome, and wealthy man with a face like that. She felt that Riana's face was far inferior to hers, as she was a model, and her face and body were better groomed than those of her boyfriend's ex-wife."No, no. We are lovers." Wira gripped Riana's arm tightly, causing her to nod her head in agreement immediately."You're doing great, Riana. It's only been less than a month since you found a rich, and handsome man like Mr. Wira. I don't know what you did to make such a handsome man want to make you his girlfriend," Diandra quipped."Diandra!" rebuked Reynald; he was afraid that his boss would be angry because of what Diandra was saying now.Riana was annoyed by Diandra's
Time has flown by. Mayang has a hard time speaking, and walking now because she stroke paralyzed the right half of her body. She's having a hard time doing things on her own these days. The woman needs help with everything, from eating to using the bathroom."I got married to live well, not like this!" Diandra grumbled.Diandra's been on a rant all day, and Reynald's had it."Shut up! It's also because of you that my life has become unlucky!" Reynald blamed Diandra for his own mistakes, his usual way of deflecting responsibility."Ugh! You're the corrupt one, why am I the one to blame?" Diandra glared at her husband."Yes, because I'm married to you, everything is messed up! It's different when you're with Riana, especially since you know your husband doesn't work, and still goes shopping, so all the money you have left is gone to pay your debts. Now you have to look in the trash for food!" Reynald was furious at the thought."It's your own fault for being corrupt, and incompetent as
Wira was relieved. Now that Riana had a family to protect, Wira was going to start the plan today, but he had to go to work first so his father wouldn't be suspicious of him.Wira decided to go to his office to see if he could talk to Lia. He wanted to know if she had taken him or not. However, when he was there for half a day, he couldn't find her anywhere, leaving him wondering where she was."Two cleaning services were fired yesterday," one of the women in the corner said.Women love to gossip. They gossip anywhere, and at any time, as long as they have friends to gossip with. This was helpful for Wira because if he asked one of the workers here, him felt that he would be reported to Subroto. Now, the man wanted to avoid Subroto knowing what he had done."Yes, I'm also confused as to why she was fired. The other guy is clear—her was accused of stealing. This guy isn't. She name was Lia, I think.The more convinced Wira was of what happened, the more he thought that Lia was delibera
"Mutia, get two drinks over here!" Riana looked at Mutia just before she brought Wira into her room office."Okay!" Mutia replied.After hearing Mutia's answer, Riana quickly stepped into her room office, which was inside the restaurant. Her uncle's room was now her own. Riana told the man to sit on the couch, then she took a seat across from Wira because it felt wrong to sit next to the man. They were alone now, and it didn't feel good to be close to a man who wasn't her husband."I'm sorry, I didn't defend you yesterday. It was all because my father threatened that if I did, you would be put in prison, and there he would make you disappear without a trace. He really would do it if I didn't comply. I'm afraid of losing you!" Wira said this with a pleading face, and Riana believed him."Do you believe what your father said? I was the one who stole the folder, and I didn't even know that it was a big project that you guys were going to participate in!" Riana emphasized every sentence s
Desi didn't know where Riana was going because her had nowhere else to go. When she was kicked out of Reynald's house, Riana didn't know where her was going."You already know, there is evidence, and witnesses who say that she was the one who stole it. Even Wira, and I found the folder in her room!" Subroto wanted Desi to believe his words so that his wife would hate the woman named Riana."I've asked you before, why did she steal the folder? If I were her, I'd rather steal the gold, money, or valuables in this house!" Desi emphasized once again that Riana was not the thief."Maybe, she knows the folder is valuable, and wants to sell it to a company that competes with us," Subroto said, not wanting to give up on convincing Desi.Desi remained silent, not wanting to argue with Subroto about Riana. Subroto was a stubborn man, so it would be impossible to convince him otherwise. Desi felt like someone wanted to ruin Riana's reputation, but who? Why would someone accuse a good woman like
"Uncle, doesn't need to do it. Let's just drop the matter!" Riana didn't want her uncle to get revenge for what those people had done to her."They've been mean to you, so I'll take care of it. You just need to watch, and don't get involved!" Edo was furious with all those people; he wanted to teach them a lesson.Although Edo, Subroto, the owner of a large, and well-known company, had some reservations, he was determined to get justice for them."It's okay! I've tried to be sincere with what they did. I don't want to hurt Wira's father. Desi's aunt, his wife, has been very kind to me, and Wira has too." Riana didn't finish her sentence."Does Miss Riana like Wira? Sorry if I'm interrupting this conversation!" Mutia guessed that she had been watching Riana.Riana smiled at Mutia, and nodded her head. That was the only response she gave now because when talking about Wira, her felt sad. The woman had just been in a relationship, and it had to end like this. Riana wanted to take their r
"Yes. This restaurant is now yours, as you are the rightful heir! Oh, and by the way, introduce me as Mutia, the manager of this restaurant." Mutia extended her hand, introducing herself to she new boss.Riana accepted her hand without saying anything, still thinking about what had just happened. She was still surprised that her parents owned such a fancy, and big restaurant. Was it true that her parents owned this place? Riana still didn't believe it, thinking it was all a dream."Miss Riana?" Mutia touched Riana softly because she had been talking to her but there was no response."Uh, y-yes!" Riana stammered, surprised that she had been daydreaming."Would you like to take a tour of the restaurant?" Mutia asked, offering to show her around.Actually, sir Edo had told Mutia to take Riana around, and introduce her to the other subordinates."That's fine. But where do I put my stuff?" Riana asked, embarrassed to bring in her shabby-looking bag. Her hands hurt from carrying the bag."O
"But, there is proof, and witnesses who say that it was Riana who stole with Kiki," said Subroto, not wanting to say who the witnesses were."I don't believe that, Pa! How could Riana have stolen it, and why would she do that?" Desi said in a high tone that she didn't accept her husband accusing Riana of being a good woman."We have witnesses, and evidence. We found this folder in Riana's room. It was tucked under her clothes." Subroto took the folder from behind his back, and showed Desi that Riana really was he said his was.Riana knew that Subroto didn't like her, and from what she had learned at Reynald's house, it was pointless to defend herself. The man would probably insist that he was the one who stole the folder, even though there was evidence, witnesses, and the discovery of a folder that had never been seen before.Subroto was responsible for the folder's disappearance. While Wira was working in the office, he interrogated Lia in another room. Wira used footage from his sub
"What do you mean?" asked Wira, not understanding."You don't understand, Mr? Everyone changes over time, just like the Riana you used to know. So, now she's not the same person you used to know, but a different person," Reynald explained."Yes, you're right, people do change!" said Subroto, agreeing with Reynald, and the female employees who were still there nodded their heads in agreement."But I'm pretty sure that Riana hasn't changed!" Wira argued, stammering."Wira, you can't reject all of Riana's changes! What her ex-husband said is true because he was her husband, and lived with her for five years. Only a husband knows the good, and bad in his wife, and vice versa." Subroto patted Wira's shoulder, trying to get the man to realize what Reynald had told them.Wira didn't say anything else because he thought it was useless to disagree with everything Reynald said. Everyone already believed what Riana's ex-husband said. So it was useless for him to say that Reynald was lying.At th
"I know you took the red folder! If not you, who else could it have been? You look the most suspicious these days!" Kiki pointed at Lia's face. She knew that Lia was the one who took the folder."Why did I take the folder?" Lia asked, trying to stop Kiki from blaming her."I don't know! Only you know that, or maybe you want to bring Riana down because you hate her so much. I don't know what she did wrong to you, so you hate that good woman!" Kiki glared at her, eyes red with anger. She wanted to attack the woman, but she felt weak."So what if I took it? Yes, I took the folder! What are you going to tell them? How could they believe you?" Lia walked away from Kiki, annoyed.Kiki hurriedly gathered her things, and left, wanting to go home immediately to tell her family that she had been fired from work. The woman didn't want to tell her family, but she had to tell her mother everything. But her father would scold Kiki if she was caught stealing because he didn't trust her, only her mot
