What did Olive say about wanting to visit Thomas? It's bound to be a problem!

Sure enough, since she arrived, Thomas has been very sarcastic towards her. Fortunately, Olive can categorize this as her own kind of luck. Her coworkers have all gone home; she didn't encounter a single one there. Only their traces remain in the form of a fruit basket and a few small bags of food.

"Mr... Are you feeling much better?" Olive asked, mustering her courage. She needs to see Thomas's face first before asking. Even though he's lying in front of her with a scowl, coldness, rudeness, sarcasm, and sternness, Olive can't just stand there doing nothing, right? It's pointless to be in Thomas's hospital room but remain silent like this.

"What do you think?" Thomas asks while glancing at Olive standing at the end of his bed. "What are you doing there? Did you change your status to a nurse in this hospital?"

"No, Mr. Thomas," Olive said, looking down.

"Sit here." Thomas

    For the first time, Olive hugged her bolster tightly. Twice, she adjusted her pillow slightly further back on the bed. The third time, Olive covered herself with a blanket! She had done these movements repeatedly all night as she struggled to fall asleep. Even more absurdly, she counted sheep and flying fish in her mind to make herself tired enough to fall asleep.Unfortunately, all her efforts seemed in vain. Instead of getting tired and drowsy, she felt even more awake, and her eyes were wide open. Just when she wanted to watch a replay of a BTS concert from several countries."Argh!!"She threw off her blanket because she couldn't breathe under it. Whose idea was it to use a blanket while sleeping with a fan on? She glanced at the wall clock, and it was already 1 AM. Since she decided to sleep at 10 PM, she hadn't closed her eyes at all. Wasn't anyone going to take her to dreamland?After returning from the hospital, her mother had left her a pack of f

    "No, really, Olive. My mother used to say that saying a prayer makes any meal taste good. No matter how simple the dishes are, or even if it's just plain rice because there's no money for side dishes, it still tastes good."Olive fell silent."I've experienced tough times when I couldn't afford meat," Thomas reminisced about his early days in Jakarta. His situation back then was quite sad. His salary was meager, but he had to support himself here and cover his father's medical expenses back in the village. He also had to work extra to save money for his marriage with... oh, why did he have to remember that woman again?Get a grip, Thomas! That woman's life is different from yours now!"I didn't start in my current position, Liv. I had to work my way up. That's why yesterday I gave you advice, right? You're good, but you need to adapt to the CBD branch first to understand how the CBD head teller works. Are you starting to understand what I meant?"O

    Marta, with her wide smile, knocked on the door of her crush's office. But don't get it wrong, her heart was waving the flag of defeat, even though she wouldn't admit it. She hadn't lost, not really. She just kept facing rejection. It happened so often that she had memorized that Thomas's smile was mostly a facade. Thomas only ate lunch with Marta when there were other colleagues around.Don't expect her to get a moment alone with Thomas. Oh, except for that one night when he gave her a ride because Marta didn't have her own vehicle. That was a rare exception. If only Thomas would talk more. But no, he remained as silent as a rock, answering Marta's questions briefly. The rest of the conversation was about preparations for the upcoming gathering, including the readiness of the apartment complex that had just been delivered today. Since the theme for this year's event was "princess" and elegant evening gowns, some people rented apartments to match. Others just rented the acces

    This time, Olive had lunch at the mall. Dela wanted fried chicken with a burger and fries, even though Olive had recently had the same meal with Riana and Darius. Why repeat it? But seeing Dela's hopeful expression, Olive couldn't refuse. So here she was, sitting and enjoying her chicken.No need to ask how Dela was with her food. She devoured it as if she hadn't eaten for days. But that was alright. Today, the counter was bustling. Many customers were opening accounts, and some were making significant deposits."Olive, you're renting a costume, right?" Dela asked, wiping sauce from the corner of her mouth. "I'm just going to rent one. It's easier since I don't have a costume. Besides, the rental place that Ms. Marta uses is well-known for events like ours. We've been using them year after year.""I see, well, it's affordable for you," Olive chuckled.Dela sighed. "You're so thrifty."Olive just laughed. It might be affordable for them, but it was

    Dela just couldn't wrap her head around what had just happened. Calm down, there was no earthquake, tsunami, or mall collapse under their feet. But something even more mind-boggling had occurred in the western part of Senayan. Dela couldn't have misread the message, and she definitely couldn't ignore Olive's suddenly red face. Not embarrassment; Olive was furious, no doubt.Just ordering food made her snappy with the server. Even though the server was innocent, Dela knew that. Saying thank you after the order was completed, Olive still couldn't act normal. Was the order from her boss, in this case, clearly Mr. Thomas, so infuriating to Olive? After all, it was nice to receive two million rupiahs for free.But..."Olive," Dela finally called out after successfully catching up to Olive, who was practically as wide as a soccer field away from the office as quickly as possible. Even from behind, you could see smoke rising from Olive's body. In an anime, that's a sig

    After sending the message to Olive, Thomas just had to wait, right? A smile refused to leave his face as if he had received an annual bonus several times over. It had been a while since Thomas had felt like this. The kind of feeling where it was enjoyable to wait and go through the day. In his eyes, all he saw was Olive, angry, snappy, and with a flushed face from frustration.That had become an exciting moment in his life now.Whose fault was it that this girl had caught his attention? So, in his own way, Thomas would make sure Olive couldn't get away, let alone escape from him. He glanced at his watch; it had been ten minutes since his last message. If the girl didn't show up at his office door within the next five minutes, he thought he might need to disturb her with a call. But it seemed that he wouldn't have to do that.What he had been waiting for finally arrived. It was a good thing that he was hungry too. He could ask her to join him for a meal, even tho

    Thomas grumbled in annoyance at Olive's behavior earlier. Why did she bring Marta into this? What does Marta have to do with anything? Plus, the woman looked amused, even though Thomas had no intention of doing anything. Especially not what Olive suggested. There's no way he would approach Marta, let alone give her a gift.Oh, God! This is all because of Olive's outrageous provocation."Is it true that you want to give me a gift?" Marta asks, batting her eyelashes.If it weren't for his determination to remain patient and sane, Thomas would have already asked her to leave his office. Especially when her eyes were filled with hope and her lips curled into a shy smile. Thomas wasn't oblivious to what Marta was doing to him. Somehow, she refused to give up, even though Thomas had never responded to her advances.He had only been courteous."Uh... not really a gift, Marta," Thomas grimaces. "I mean, Olive earlier, since she's busy at the counter and ca

    "Money?" Yossie looked puzzled. "What money, Liv?""You know, Olive got money from Mr. Thomas for snacks," Dela casually mentioned. "It was quite a sum, two million rupiahs.""Huh?!" Yossie exclaimed, and Olive widened her eyes, not expecting Dela to spill the beans like that. She had given a warning not to let anyone know before they left earlier. And now, Yossie and... Ayana knew?"Are you serious, Liv?" Ayana asked as she finished her work."Dead serious, Miss," Dela turned and looked at Ayana with a spark of sincerity. "It's so strange, right? Could Mr. Thomas just give money like that without any connection? I don't believe it."Honestly, Olive couldn't believe that Dela would say that so easily. Since they had been together since earlier, it was evident that Dela would keep the incident that had made Olive angry a secret. Fortunately, Olive displayed an annoyed and disapproving face, eager to lecture Thomas. Otherwise, Olive thought Dela migh

    Seira adjusts her glasses again. She wraps Olive to move away from the grave while whispering to pay attention to her steps. She doesn't want Olive to slip, even though the cemetery area is dry. There's nothing to worry about, but still, Seira doesn't want to take any risks.Before she truly leaves the grave of the woman who was once part of her life, Seira says, "I forgive you. Forgive me for not being the prideful daughter-in-law like Marissa, okay? I could only work at home and spend Tedy's money. Yes. That's just how Seira is. May you rest in peace."Olive can't stop staring at the large bowl of beef soup with broth. It contains carrot slices and sprinkles of fried onions and fresh slices of scallions. Olive inhales the aroma emanating from her ordered bowl several times."It's still hot, Bee," Thomas warns."Yeah, Sweetie." Olive grins satisfactorily. "The aroma is so delicious.""This beef soup place is Papa's favorite, Olive," Robert says wi

    The gentle breeze brushing against Seira, she doesn't care at all. Her red hair has changed, much darker than the color she used before. But when she could enjoy the result in the mirror's reflection, it turns out to be truly suitable for her face. Koni said she looks much fresher.I don't know. She doesn't take the praise seriously or not. Not that she doesn't want to appreciate it, Koni always praises her every time she wears something new. So, according to her thinking, whatever Seira wears always fits her perfectly. Blessed with a face with a fairly sharp jawline, a pointed nose, and perfectly round eyes, sharply staring at her interlocutors, plus her beautifully split lips, making Seira even at her current age, as if time has stopped near her."I didn't expect you to come too."Since earlier, the man who met Seira right in front of this public cemetery gate didn't talk much. Not that he didn't want to, just greeting seems to be lost somewhere. All he could

    "You always want more from me.""Come on." She nudges her husband's back gently. "I'm gonna make some smoothies. You want some, right?""Whatever you make, I'll eat it."Before Robert truly leaves the kitchen area, Seira grabs his arm. This makes Robert furrow his brow. "What's up? Earlier you wanted me to leave for work right away?"Seira's smile widens. She steps closer and when she's right in front of Robert, she gives him a quick peck as a form of encouragement. Unfortunately, Robert isn't content with just getting his lips wet."God, just be enough for his heart. Don't let anyone else break us apart. Make this man the only one who loves me with all his heart. It's only You I ask."***Olive grins widely. Like a lottery winner who just hit the jackpot today. Her eyes refuse to go anywhere else but to the printout of the ultrasound she just had. Even though she's still sitting on the edge of the examination bed. Listening, albeit n

    This morning in Sydney, it's been pouring pretty heavily. The droplets drenching the smallest continent in the world have been hitting since last night. The weather forecast says it's better for folks to stay indoors. They're saying there might even be a pretty strong storm hitting. Seira's not bothered, though, about being inside this spacious unit.Two bedrooms and a kitchen area with plenty of food stocks keep her from getting too bored. She actually makes good use of it. She spends a lot of her time doing yoga. She doesn't need a private instructor. She declined because for her, she just needs privacy. Plus, there are plenty of tutorials she can watch on YouTube channels.Unless she's back in Senayan. Maybe the private issue with a special instructor is something she can consider. Honestly, Seira isn't too fluent in English. She can't just say yes or no! Oh God! Just remembering it makes her stomach suddenly cramp.That's why she chooses to be alone. She onl

    Thomas's smile widens. "Patience, okay?" He then releases his hold on Olive's face. He chooses to tightly hold his wife's hand, intertwining their fingers, one of which has their wedding ring on."First, you're the most beautiful. This isn't a lie. Among all the women I've been close to, you're the winner." What Thomas says is the truth. Even when she's pregnant, although her belly hasn't grown too much yet, it seems like Olive has gained some weight. Proof is her chubby cheeks.But it doesn't matter. For Thomas, she's even sexier now. Plus, Olive's body is fuller and perfect for cuddling all night long. Even though sometimes he wonders, Thomas still goes along with whatever Olive eats within her control.Her mother says, "You're lucky, Thomas, Olive isn't picky about food. Thank God, Mrs. Giana, you know her, right? Lina? When she was pregnant with her second child, she couldn't eat at all. Had to be on IV. Weak all the time until she became skinny. Pitiful to

    Olive pouts. There's really no remedy to coax a smile out of her, even a little. It feels like her heart is wrapped in annoyance and being overly emotional. Well... why not? The day she feared has arrived.Wait.A frightening day? Is there such a thing?For Olive, there are days when she feels like she no longer has Thomas's attention. It's like being in a long-distance relationship, not seeing each other for a long time. Especially not being able to see his face while he's at Senayan. Oh God! Sometimes Olive does tend to overdramatize things, but what can she do? She really feels that way.It's been two weeks since her mother's wedding. Almost every day, Seira keeps her updated, and Olive herself often gets absorbed in gossiping through the airwaves. Even though there are often signal problems, Olive doesn't mind. Proof is, she just enjoys spending a lot of time chatting with her mom, especially after work.She shares a lot with her mother, especi

    "Hi, Wife," Robert greets when their eyes finally meet. Full of closeness and intimacy. Even their breaths seem to greet each other's faces."Hi, Husband," Seira replies just as warmly."Finally, today has arrived."Seira smiles tightly."Darling, last night's anger wasn't continued."The woman's brow furrows slightly."If it continues, I won't deny my words about smudging your lipstick.""Why so quiet?" Robert asks, slightly loosening their embrace. "Did I not hug you enough last night?""You're always talking nonsense, aren't you, Ro?" Seira says with a chuckle. "Come on, Johan must have been waiting since earlier, right?"Robert laughs. "When else will I get the chance to see Seira blush again?""Ro!"***Their journey to Sydney was accompanied by several family members, including Olive, whose in-laws also joined to see them off for a while."Don't forget to keep in touch, Mom," Olive says

    Robert's departure back to Sydney couldn't be postponed. Besides having many projects that needed to be completed urgently, the man also prepared a special trip for himself and Seira."Nothing left behind, right?" Robert double-checked before they headed to the car Johan had prepared."Nah, I don't think so," Seira replied softly, but her eyes glanced again at the two large suitcases already at the apartment door. Her mind smoothly recalled the contents of the suitcases and what needed to be brought. "I'm pretty sure not," she said with a faint smile."Is Olive coming to see us off?""Yeah, she is," Seira laughed. "Wouldn't want to miss the moment waving goodbye to me, Ro."Robert just smiled thinly. His eyes focused on Seira standing by his side, showing a radiant face just for him. She looked even prettier in Robert's eyes, although he knew this dress she was wearing had been worn before. But it seemed different this

    "Delicious or super delicious, Sir," Darius quickly responds. "Olive's taste buds don't know the word 'not delicious'. Everything is delicious to her. That's why inviting Olive to eat is the most fun. Not much comment. Before you know it, her plate is empty."Thomas chuckles. What Darius said is true, isn't it? It's rare to hear Olive comment on the taste of food that's already been ordered. Instead, she says it's a shame if it's not finished. A waste. It's a sin to waste food, she says. Better to go into her stomach.The problem is, no matter how much Olive eats, her body doesn't widen sideways. She remains slim and unchanged. When Thomas first met Olive, his wife rarely exercised. Thomas is confused, huh."Shut up!" Olive glares, not pleased. "Instead of worrying about my appetite, you better tell me what you've tried at the food booths over there. What's good?""If you like Zuppa Soup, I think it's good," Riana quickly says, pointing to the place on th
