Alana folded her arms with a grim aura, staring at a man who was now taking over her duties. She then sighed in frustration, shifting her gaze. She couldn't believe her husband trusted his secretary more with this than her, his own wife. Alana then stormed out of the dressing room towards Leo's workspace. As usual, when she was upset, Alana would rudely barge into Leo's office. She plopped herself down on the sofa in the middle of the room without saying a word. It seemed Leo was starting to get used to and understand Alana's mood when she was sulking."Now what?" Leo asked, causing Alana to glare at him sharply."You're still asking. Isn't it clear why I'm angry?" Alana replied, causing Leo to put down his newspaper. Then he looked at his wife. Leo was ready to listen to Alana's rant, which she seemed prepared to deliver."Do you forget that I'm not as insensitive as you think?" Leo replied calmly, making Alana sigh in frustration once again. Whether her husband was truly insensitive
Alana frowned at the three suitcases not far from her. "You still have a week left before going to Singapore, so why prepare them so early?" Alana asked, making Leo, who was reading a book while leaning against the headboard of the bed, shift his gaze."Pedro always prepares everything early because he thinks it's better that way," Leo replied, still making Alana feel irritated because those three suitcases truly belonged to Pedro, prepared without any input from him. Alana felt like Leo trusted Pedro, who understood him more than Alana herself."I still feel annoyed looking at those suitcases," Alana grumbled. Then, she pulled a pillow and placed it next to Leo's waist. After that, Alana lay down facing Leo. She then looked at Leo, who didn't respond to her words and instead focused on the book in front of him. Alana then looked at her husband's face, who was now wearing reading glasses. Alana rarely saw glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and this time she really paid attenti
Leo released their lip lock when he sensed the diminishing oxygen supply in their lungs. He looked at Alana's lips, which appeared small and round, now redder and glossier because of their activity. This made Leo tug at his own lip corner, feeling satisfied. Then, he extended his hand again and lifted Alana's chin to bring their lips together once more. Feeling the pleasure of their lips touching and intertwining, Leo then slid his tongue between Alana's lips, delving deeper into her mouth, providing warmth. Leo then pressed their necks to deepen their kiss, entwining each other, causing Alana to release a sigh of pleasure from her mouth. However, just as Leo was about to reciprocate the kiss Alana gave him, she suddenly pushed Leo's body slightly."Do you need help taking everything off?" Alana asked, her cheeks reddened, making Leo pull the corner of his lips before nodding. Leo remained silent, watching every move Alana made as she helped him unbutton his shirt one by one, revealin
Alana pursed her lips as she listened to Leo's Confession, causing her to lean back slightly and gaze at her husband's face."Is that so, can I say that you're crazy about me right now?" Alana asked with a wide smile, making Leo nod his head."Doesn't my behavior prove enough that I'm truly crazy about you?" Leo said, prompting Alana to waste no time and bring their lips back together. Somehow tonight, Alana felt that Leo was genuinely sweet to her. Whether it was a bribe because he was going far away or genuinely from his heart, Alana didn't know and didn't care. What's certain is that Alana truly felt happy.Leo then released his kiss, moving to each side of Alana's face, then down her slender neck and tracing the back of her ear, teasing her sensitive spots with his tongue. Alana tilted her head as Leo nibbled her skin forcefully, leaving his marks just below her ear. Not only did he play with the back of her ear, Leo then trailed his tongue along every inch of Alana's neck, occasi
Alana hugged Leo tightly, as if reluctant to let her husband go far from her, making Leo glance slightly towards Pedro, who had been checking the time on his wristwatch."Are you satisfied hugging me?" Leo asked, making Alana shake her head on Leo's shoulder."If you linger any longer than this, I'm sure Pedro will drag me in soon," Leo said, causing Alana to release her embrace with a very annoyed look on her face, then she glanced at Pedro, her husband's secretary, who was looking at her with a blank expression."Can we switch positions? You can go on vacation wherever you want, and I'll go to Singapore with Leo," Alana said, looking at Pedro."Very gladly, I would love to switch positions with you, but it seems your husband would strongly object if that were to happen," Pedro replied, making Alana immediately look at Leo, who was also looking at her now. However, before Alana could say a word, Leo interrupted her."As I've explained before, he would be more useful for me over there
A week had passed since Leo left for Singapore, making Alana increasingly bored staying in this big house. To kill time, Alana always kept herself busy in the pastry shop which was now 100% completed with what she had wanted before. Alana truly renovated it from the place, even the menu of the shop. Although Alana didn't remove the main recipes left by her mother to Leo, she preferred to adapt them to the developments in food nowadays.Alana couldn't wait for Leo to come home and show all her hard work. These past few days, Alana also felt happy because little by little, customers had started to increase because they liked how the café decorations were very suitable for them to post on social media. That also didn't bother Alana because it was also to promote the pastry shop so that people could easily find it if more customers posted it on social media.Following Leo's previous instructions, Alana always went anywhere using a driver. So, today was no different, Indra was already wait
For almost a month now, Leo has been in Singapore, far from Alana, making Alana complain every day about his prolonged absence. Although Leo calls and sends short messages every day, it's not enough for Alana.Like now, Alana is whining to Leo and threatening to follow him. "How much longer do I have to wait? It's been almost a month, and I've been patient enough waiting for you," Alana whined, leaning on the headboard of her bed with a laptop on her lap displaying Leo, who is also currently in the same position as Alana."Just be patient a little longer, I promise it won't be long. My business is almost 90% done," Leo replied, making Alana roll her eyes lazily."Since when did you promise it wouldn't be long? Since two weeks ago, but come on, I miss you so much," Alana said again, making Leo just smirk."It seems like I'm the only one suffering from longing here. You seem happy there with your secretary?" Alana grumbled again."How can I be happy when part of my soul is far away?" Le
Alana stretched from her bed as she felt her throat slightly dry. Then, she began to slowly open her eyes, seeing the clock on the nightstand indicating two in the early morning. Alana's eyes were really heavy with sleep. Today, her work at the pastry shop really drained her energy after various promotions on social media and also with the help of some customers who posted about the pastry shop inherited from her late mother-in-law, Leo.Finally, Alana could muster a smile seeing her late mother-in-law's beloved pastry shop bustling again. Perhaps not as bustling as when the shop was at its peak, but at least Alana had taken a step forward seeing new customers every day and customers starting to like the new desserts Alana introduced. For this reason, aside from diverting her attention from Leo who had yet to return, Alana spent more time at the pastry shop and would only return home after eight in the evening. After that, Alana would immediately tell Leo about her day before resting.
