"Where are you going all dressed up like that?"Samuel, who was sitting watching television at the time, looked puzzled in Arianna's direction. From his eyes, he saw how his wife looked beautifully dressed as if she was going to an event.Today was indeed Sunday. Samuel, after exercising and having breakfast, chose to relax for a while while watching the news on TV."I want to go with Chacha, is that okay?" Arianna whispered. Although she was sure she would be allowed, Arianna felt uneasy if she didn't get permission from her husband."Where are you going with Chacha?" Samuel inquired. He became curious about what kind of event his wife was attending, looking so dressed up."I'm going to a college friends' reunion at Wolfgang."Samuel's eyebrows furrowed. He just found out that Arianna was interested in attending an event he considered a waste of time."Are you sure you want to go to a reunion? Most likely, there will be a lot of gossiping going on," accused Samuel."No way. I won't g
After a few busy days of meetings with Pakuwon executives, as planned, today Samuel received the task of a business trip to South Korea. Together with Arianna, Samuel was scheduled to meet with several business partners to discuss collaboration intentions and expand the Pasific Group's network in building international-scale property companies, especially in Asia. Departing together with Axton, Samuel and Arianna were seen waiting for a while in the executive lounge. When the scheduled departure time for their flight arrived, the three of them quickly boarded the plane. The first two hours in the air seemed to go smoothly. Samuel chose to rest, while Arianna was watching a movie available in front of her. However, Samuel was suddenly overwhelmed with anxiety. Midway through the journey, Arianna felt a change in her body. The increasingly bone-penetrating cold air triggered Arianna's asthma once again. "Why?" "I'm having trouble breathing." "Is your asthma acting up?" Arianna jus
Throughout her life, Arianna had never once traveled abroad. The farthest places she had visited were Bali and Lombok, and that was with Chacha and, finally, during her wedding with Samuel. Korea was undoubtedly the first foreign country she would set foot in, and once again, it was with Samuel. If asked about her dream country, Arianna had one. She had always aspired to visit Switzerland or New Zealand. For her, these two countries were a must-visit if she ever had extra money.Living in a middle-class economy, instead of spending money on vacations abroad, Arianna used her income and bonuses from work for the needs of the orphanage. While many people appreciated their hard work by going on vacations or buying expensive items, Arianna was different. She found immense satisfaction in seeing her siblings in the orphanage experiencing widespread happiness.Arianna and Samuel had been awake since six in the morning. Arianna even helped prepare everything her husband needed before he left
Because she is inherently sociable and easy to get along with, Arianna had no difficulty adapting to Darwin and Celina. While having dinner, the three of them continued chatting. It wasn't long before Luis Fernando finally arrived and joined them."Have you been here for a long time?" Samuel asked Arianna as he took a seat next to his wife."Fairly long. Probably for about an hour now. Have you eaten?"Samuel shook his head. After attending a meeting and reading the messages Darwin sent, Samuel decided to quickly return to the hotel to join his wife and two cousins for dinner."No time. That's why I'm ordering food. What about you? What are you having?""Bulgogi and Ramyeon. Those are the only things I understand and that suit my taste."Samuel laughed. He knew his wife preferred Indonesian cuisine."Alright, I'll order the same as you then."While waiting for their food, Samuel also engaged in conversation with his two cousins. Initially, they discussed business, then transitioned to
Arianna squirmed, blinking repeatedly. Slowly, the woman massaged her throbbing forehead as she tried to sit up from lying down. Instantly, a cold breeze swept in, piercing through to the bone."Good morning, honey," Samuel's voice faintly reached her. Turning, she found her husband sitting right beside her, offering a glass of a warm orange drink."Quick, have this. I ordered warm orange juice to help with the hangover from last night," he said."Me? Hangover?" Arianna asked, as if not believing what she had just heard. In her entire life, she had never been drunk."Oh, dear, don't you remember? Last night, you drank too much of the soju Darwin ordered. Besides, I warned you not to drink. But you ignored it, didn't you?"Continuing to massage her forehead, Arianna tried to recall. Even if she did get drunk, it would be her own fault."I really don't remember. As far as I know, we just had dinner. After that, I don't remember what happened.""Oh my God," Samuel exclaimed. His gaze fix
"Samuel, today, are you going to take me out for a stroll, right?"Arianna had just finished bathing and getting dressed. While applying makeup, she engaged in conversation with her husband, who was currently reading a work report on his tablet.Arianna certainly didn't forget that since the beginning of their visit, and even last night, her husband, who held the status of her spouse, had expressed the desire to take her around South Korea. Of course, Arianna was very enthusiastic, considering it was her first time walking around a foreign country."So," replied Samuel. "Maybe we'll head out around 10. Now, get ready, and let's have breakfast before we go," he ordered without looking in the direction of his wife.Meanwhile, Arianna, who had finished applying makeup and was ready with her appearance, walked over to Samuel. She addressed him and then invited him to go down to the restaurant for breakfast."Come on, I'm ready," she urged.Samuel nodded. Turning off his tablet, he then lo
When the day turned into night, Samuel then took Arianna to enter the tower, enjoying the view of Seoul at night from a height. After lingering for a while, this time the man led Arianna to descend a few floors, entering one of the restaurants available there."Let's have dinner first," Samuel invited. Then the two of them followed the waiter to a table not far from the window. From their seats, Samuel and Arianna could enjoy the night view of Seoul and the sparkling lights from above."The place is really nice," Arianna praised sincerely. What she saw now was truly amazing."I deliberately booked this place to bring you here. As I mentioned last night, I want to talk about our relationship."Before continuing the conversation, Samuel and Arianna ordered food first. Instead of Korean specialties, this time they both ordered tenderloin steak with a black pepper seasoning, similar to what they often had in Indonesia.Once the food was served, Samuel immediately grabbed a knife and fork
Spending dinner with a new status as a real husband and wife, Arianna felt a bit awkward. Occasionally, she glanced at Samuel. However, the man remained the same. He appeared calm, even carefree as usual.There was no sign of nervousness, embarrassment, or awkwardness that Arianna was feeling. Samuel behaved very casually, as if he had been eagerly awaiting this evening for a long time.After finishing their meal, Samuel stood up first. Extending his hand, he invited Arianna to leave while holding hands."What do you want, Samuel?" Arianna asked casually, though she knew exactly what her husband meant."I want to dance with you, Arianna.""Huh?""Yes, I want to take you home. No need for a long discussion. I just want to go home holding your hand."Samuel's recent words didn't sound like a request. Instead, they resembled more of a command that couldn't be questioned. Besides, as Arianna knew, Samuel didn't appreciate being contradicted.Arianna reluctantly stood up. Accepting Samuel'
