"Is it true that Elissa is married, Mi?" Fritz asked Ami. He looked down at the city below the building. His hand was holding a drink.Ami swallowed. Talking to this man in front of her made her uncomfortable. Aside from his high power and ice-cold demeanor, Fritz never hesitated to eliminate his enemies."Right," Ami said quietly.Fritz exhaled. The vapor from his breath fogged up the glass in front of him. He sipped his drink again. Fritz couldn't stop thinking. With his current position, wealth, and charisma, why couldn't Elissa's father ever approve of him being his son-in-law? Forget about Elissa's father. Fritz was even more surprised at Elissa. Why had she never once fallen for him?Fritz turned around. He then sat in front of Ami while crossing his legs. One hand was on the back of the chair, and his right hand was still fiddling with his drink glass.Ami swallowed again. She did like being friends with Elissa. All her needs could be fulfilled. Elissa was never stingy or calcu
"Don't think of the dirty things! I'm still disgusted to be touched by a man like you! But what can I do? This is the only thing I want to try!" said Elissa excitedly. She was already barefoot and sitting on Edgar's sleeping sofa."Hurry up!" she yelled when Edgar just stood there dumbfounded."What are we doing?" asked Edgar with a trembling voice."Sit down! Don't talk so much, and take off your pants! You're still wearing shorts, right?" asked Elissa.Edgar swallowed even more. He nodded vaguely. Edgar guessed even more. What exactly possessed Elissa to be like this? He told Edgar not to think anything. Did she not know that men tended to think about bed more often than women?"Do you want to take it off yourself or let me take it off?" she asked.Edgar immediately tightened his pants. He shook his head. I swear, this air-conditioned room did not affect the young man. His whole body was now sweating. His face was deathly pale. And he swallowed repeatedly."I'll be right back!" said
Elissa stretched her body. The room was already bright. Sunlight had entered through the window. The lights had also been turned off. Once again, Elissa tried her body. She felt so fresh this morning. A smile was also plastered on her face. Elissa still wondered why this morning felt different. It felt like her mind was light.Elissa inhaled her breath. Her nose smelled something fresh. She turned to the side, looking at the source of the smell that made her saliva flow slightly. She saw a cup of coffee that was still puffing smoke. There was also breakfast there. A toast and a jar of peanut butter. The breakfast package was still warm. There was also a piece of paper placed next to the coffee."Sorry, I went to work first. There was a problem at the project," Edgar wrote.After reading the note, Elissa's expression instantly changed. She finally knew why she woke up this morning feeling and in such a happy mood. Apart from winning the match with Edgar last night, she didn't hear her
Edgar put his jacket on the chair. He then went to the kitchen, made coffee, and drank it there. He wondered how to tell Elissa about this. If he asked his in-laws for help, it would be easier. But on the other hand, she would think Edgar was a coward.It was late afternoon, but the house was still quiet. The servants and security guards were resting. Desmond and his wife were out for an evening walk. Edgar was very jealous of that. His in-laws were already in their thirties but were still as intimate as young people. Especially when they are eating; while Edgar and Elissa are eating alone, Desmond is eating with Ira. Edgar needed clarification. Was it he or Desmond who was the newlywed?Araf's words were still ringing in Edgar's mind. The blue-eyed man was still wondering. Does he have to do that? But no matter what, the facts said by Araf didn't change. If it had to be, then..."I have no other choice," said Edgar."Where is Edgar?" asked Elissa in an exclamatory tone to one of her
"It turns out that working with foreigners is very different from working in our own country. They're excited. If it continues like this, in less than a month, we'll be finished," said Araf as he leaned back on the sofa.When he entered the guesthouse, Araf took a chair near the window. Although this house was built simply because of work, the view was crazy. A towering mountain with a thin sprinkling of snow on it was the view Araf was looking at. Not only Araf, as a connoisseur of water views, Edgar was mesmerized by the river extending at the mountain's foot. The river was so blue that it was even bluer than the ocean Edgar had seen."I hope so, too," Edgar responded.Araf turned his body around. "How about we go tonight? Aren't you tired yet?" he asked.Edgar tugged at the corner of his lips. He smiled a simple smile. His job here was to deliver what the architecture said. It was a light job, but if many of the coolies were incompetent, he would be the one who would suffer the mos
"Pack your things, Mi. We're moving hotels tonight!" Elissa ordered.Ami looked at Elissa in surprise. "Are you sure you want to move? Haven't you already reserved this room for five days? Isn't your money a pity?"The hotel that Elissa rented was costly. This hotel is five-star, and the room rental fee for a day is unbelievably expensive. Elissa and Ami have yet to get to sleep here. They had booked a room for three days and had paid in full. It would be a shame if they left tonight."Money can be found, Mi. But when it comes to comfort, you have to fight for it. Do you want not to be able to sleep tonight because you're under the same roof as Fritz? I don't want to." Elissa began to pack up her things. Occasionally, she ate the ice cream Fritz had given her."Wait a minute. How come I'm so curious, huh? You want to avoid marrying Edgar. However, I admit that Edgar is more handsome than Fritz. But the gap is a little small. Then... isn't Fritz your type, huh? He's handsome and rich,
"Who are you looking for?" Araf asked. His head looked up, seeing where Edgar was looking."That's Balqis, isn't it?" asked Edgar, confirming what he saw.Araf crossed his arms. "All women look alike when seen from behind. There's no way Balqis is here. We are in Lebanon, not Indonesia. Besides, Balqis must have children by now. Let's eat. I'm hungry!" Araf also dragged Edgar. His friend was still looking in the direction he had just pointed, but Araf didn't care and continued to carry him."Damn!" Araf cursed when the restaurant was packed and had to wait in line to order again. "It's all your fault, Gar!"Edgar grinned. "Yeah, sorry. Just change restaurants; there are many here.""This is the most famous restaurant in Souk El Tayeb. Try it. Remember, Gar, my money is limited."Edgar laughed. "Just wait in line. It won't take an hour."After a few minutes, Araf and Edgar were seated with Lebanese food—yellow pilaf rice."This is called Rames in Indonesia. It's just rice mixed with ve
"I didn't expect a woman who looks like Balqis to be here," Araf responded. He started to put on his uniform. Today, the project was underway again. Just add a few finishing touches, and it was done.Edgar has yet to respond. Instead, he thought of Elissa. How was that woman? It had been a long since he had heard her angry tantrums and misbehavior that made Edgar smile. Fate had played with the blue-eyed man's heart. At a time when he was not sure he was happy with Elissa, fate brought up a figure very similar to Balqis - the woman he once loved.Not wanting to think about useless things, Edgar chose to leave immediately. He put on his project hat and stepped out."Are you leaving now? Wait for me!" shouted Araf, who hurriedly put on his vest and grabbed his project hat.Her name was Naia. In the meaning of the name, she is a beautiful and exotic ocean wave. It is very suitable when juxtaposed with Edgar, which means ocean. And the presence of that woman last night made Edgar unable t
