Raymond's POV
I've been struggling with my problem for a month but haven't gotten the best results. I also followed Fransisca's advice not to trust anyone, including Nichole, someone I have trusted for a long time. But my company's problems are getting worse. I also have to face that I can't pay my employees because my company's profits are decreasing. I'm getting more and more dizzy. Employees must also receive their salaries. “Sir, what about the employees who have to receive their salaries?” asked my secretary. Of course, she was also stressed because she kept asking questions from the finance department. "Well, I'll talk directly to the head of the finance department later." I immediately met the head of the finance department. "How is it, sir?" asked Mr. Hans. "Well, you already know that our company is experiencing problems, right? Suddenly investors withdrew theirFransisca's POV I'm quite worried about Raymond's condition as he continues to be under pressure from his work. Because he seems to be walking alone. I also can't help him directly. I only helped Riana when ordered by Raymond while I was doing assignments. For a month, Raymond was always worried about his unfinished work. He needs investors to redevelop his company. Moreover, there were enough employee layoffs to stabilize the company. Although actually, it doesn't really matter. It's just that his company can no longer pay its employees so the best step is for him to fire many of his employees. If only I were one of his employees. I come from a village and then applied for a job in the city and was accepted, which was a matter of pride for me. Moreover, I can also support myself and my mother. But when I have to be fired because of company interests, I will of course be disappointed. But right now there is no oth
Raymond's POV When Nadya came to the house and said she would help me, I was quite surprised. It turns out Mr. Raul has collaborated with Nadya. It's just that Nadya is no longer like she used to be. She has changed. "Okay then. Thank you for wanting to help me," I answered. "You're welcome. Can I see Tissa?” Nadya replied. "Of course. She's still sleeping at this hour. You can see her in my room. Because at night she always sleeps with me," answered Fransisca. "Can you take me to your room?" Nadya asked again. "Well, of course," answered Fransisca. After meeting Tissa, Nadya then invited me to discuss. As Her said yesterday, I also have to make Mr. Raul and Nichole feel tired because they had tried to stab me in the back. Nadya is quite good at this job. I also felt very helped by this. * The next day Nadya and Mr. Raul will meet to carry out further cooperation. I was asked to come along so I could keep an eye on him. Fransisca is also no longer jealous of
Raymond's POV I finally got to see Nichole helpless and then taken to the police station. I also asked the police to arrest Mr. Raul. I also don't know where he is. I hope Mr. Raul has also been arrested. "Wow, great stiffness, sir. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to do it. Moreover, the knife almost stuck in your chest," praised the auditor. "Ah, when we are in trouble we should be prepared for all risks, sir. Don't worry!” Because my business was finished, the auditor went home. I escorted him home and made sure he was safe. I went to the police station and couldn't wait to see Nichole in prison with Mr. Raul. Two people who betrayed me and almost destroyed my company. This time I was in front of the police station. I've also seen Nichole and Mr. Raul who were temporarily imprisoned at the police station before they were questioned. I saw them both. That's how they saw me too. “Hey, let me go!” shouted Mr. Raul. "Don't you know that you will go to prison be
Fransisca's POV One year passed. All the sadness has begun to fade. I also take turns staying at my house and my mother-in-law's house. Today Riana graduated. Of course, Raymond, Bobby, and Tissa came to congratulate me as representatives of her family. Bobby is also getting bigger. Likewise with Tissa. After Nadya officially gave Tissa to me, I already had full power of attorney This time I also saw that Riana had become a graduate. This is quite a proud achievement for her and us as her family too. We are proud of Riana because she has also fought well all this time. I also brought a bouquet for her as a congratulation. After the graduation procession was finished, we met Riana. Bobby gave the bouquet of flowers to his aunt. "Thank you, darling," said Riana. "You're welcome, Aunt Riana." Bobby has talked a lot. I am also proud of him because he has learned a lot. He can also be an older brother to Tissa and doesn't seem to want to see Tissa fall. He becomes a bro
Fransisca's POV"Fransisca, you better answer that call now. I'm getting tired of it! You should know that when you're working, you should turn off your phone!"I immediately set down the sunflowers I was arranging in the vase and followed my boss's order to answer the incoming call on my phone.Aunt Mary was the cause of the disturbance today. I picked up my phone and stepped outside the shop; I was reluctant to answer her call, as I was sure she only wanted money from me."What's up, Aunt Mary?""God Damn it, Fransisca! Why did you take so long to answer my call? Your mother is sick, she's been screaming in pain for a while now. Come home, you can't possibly expect me to take her to the hospital without money, can you?"I clenched my fists, frustrated by my aunt's words. But what she said was true, I had to go home."Alright, I'll come home."I immediately ended the call and went back into the shop to ask for permission from my supervisor."Madam, I'd like to request permission to g
Fransisca’s POVI slumped beneath the tree in the hospital courtyard. The quiet night atmosphere enclosed around me. My thoughts drifted, contemplating how to repay the loan shark's interest.Yup, my aunt and I managed to secure the house certificate and handed it over to the cruelest loan shark in the village. He gave us a year's time, and I thought that was a short period.$150,000 turned into $200,000; where could I get all that? The monthly interest I had to pay was substantial too, $1,000. If I returned to work at the flower shop where I earned only $1,100, that would leave me with just $100 for my living expenses.Shit. This won't work."Drink, ease the things troubling your mind." My aunt appeared, offering her whiskey bottle.I stared at the black bottle for a moment, then decided to take the drink and gulp it down. It was the first time in my life, and it didn't taste too bad, actually."Can I?" I looked at my aunt, hoping that she would let me down the remaining bit of whisk
Alexander’s POV"Honey, your lips are so plump. I'm always hungry and never stop enjoying them when I'm near you."Jessica ran her finger sensually across my lips. This was the third time she had invited me to the office in the morning and done something wild. I couldn't figure out what was driving her; it seemed like she had a fetish for the office."Same with me, Honey. But, we have to stop this game for now. You know, in half an hour, I have a meeting with the new diamond mining company investors, and I also have to interview the applicants who want to be my secretary. I hope this is the last time I need to open this job vacancy."Jessica's passionate gaze instantly changed. She pressed her index finger against my lips and said, "As long as the women who become your secretaries have designs on seducing you, you will always keep this job vacancy open. I won't let anyone else woo you."Yes, I've had five secretaries change within the last two years. It all started when Jessica caught
Fransisca's POV"Damn it! I won't waste any more of my time waiting! Good luck to all of you! You won't get Alexander's handsomeness if that slut is still with him!"The only girl left among the three who arrived before me, eventually had to leave. Now, I'm alone in this waiting room. The clock on the wall shows three in the afternoon, and I've been waiting for more than seven hours.Honestly, I'm tired, but what else can I do except wait? Besides, the others have already left, leaving just me. All this time, my heart has been anxious seeing the other three girls. They seemed educated and capable of being the secretary to a well-known young CEO. And me? Just a flower seller, plus the fact that I accidentally bumped into Alexander earlier. I'm afraid that will be the judgment and lead to rejection."Well, well, looks like you don't need to bother choosing, Honey. Look who we have here? The careless one who didn't use her eyes properly earlier."I turn towards the source of the voice an

Fransisca's POV I heard that Raymond had fainted in his office. I was really shocked. I immediately took Bobby to the hospital while I left Tissa with a babysitter. According to Nichole, Raymond fainted when he was coming home from work. I'm sure that Raymond is tired and might be late eating. Arriving at the hospital I saw that Raymond was still unconscious. After waiting for a long time, I could see that Raymond had regained consciousness. * The next day Raymond was able to go home. I was also relieved because Raymond was just tired. When he got home, Raymond had to go to work again. I also reminded him not to forget to eat. I also brought him lunch so he didn't need to go to the canteen to buy food. Actually, I already want to go to my house but I have to wait for the right time. Indeed, I feel comfortable at my mother-in-law's house. But I just miss the atmosphere of my house, especially after it has been renovated. Moreover, Tissa is also getting closer to me. Just like Bob
Raymond's POV I wonder why they can immediately believe without any evidence that this company is also bankrupt. It is precisely because these investors withdrew their shares that this company could go bankrupt. I don't want that moment to happen again. I promised my father that I would defend this company for whatever reason. After the board of directors meeting was over I asked everyone to go back to work. I also still have to think about what I should do for now. I even forgot to eat lunch. Suddenly it was four in the afternoon. I just looked at my cell phone. Fransisca sent a message to remind me to eat lunch because I didn't have time for breakfast this morning. When I was about to go home I greeted Nichole and for some reason, my head suddenly felt dizzy. * I saw the ceiling of a room I didn't recognize. I turned around and saw Fransisca and Bobby there. “Raymond, are you a
Raymond's POV After Nadya left her daughter, she never contacted me or my mother again. I even asked her mother where Nadya was, she said Nadya worked abroad. She decided this because she wanted to work for a company abroad. It was as if Nadya had disappeared into the earth and never appeared again. But at least I'm grateful because Nadya doesn't disturb my household with Fransisca. Even now Fransisca has to take care of Tissa. I also don't know how I could have a child with Nadya even though I never touched Nadya. But my mother said that at that time when I took Nadya to the hotel there, I was beaten by Nadya's men. And at that time I was given stimulants and thought Nadya was Fransisca. I still feel disbelief. I never even remembered that moment until now. But maybe that was fate. Even though I was in contact with Nadya, I still called Fransisca there. So because it was a trap by her, she was the one who took re
I don't dare answer yet. “Tissa has a babysitter, ma'am. Why does Fransisca have to take care of her?" said Raymond. When he was with the babysitter, Tissa would often cry. "Well, I want to take care of Tissa, ma'am, Raymond," I answered. "Are you sure?" Raymond asked me to confirm. "Yes, I'm sure. I feel sorry for her too," I answered. “Okay, you just stay here. This house is spacious. Where you want to sleep is up to you. Nadya really doesn't know herself anymore," my mother-in-law raved. Indeed, I also can't say any more. Seeing Tissa who doesn't know anything about her family's problems but now she has to endure. I can't bear to see that. Although to be honest, my heart would also hurt if it turned out that she was indeed Raymond's biological daughter with another woman. Once again, Tissa didn't know what her parents were doing. What is clear is that she wants to grow into a better self from
