Olive remained silent.
"I do like being close to you." Through the side mirror on his right, Thomas could see that Olive wasn't looking ahead. He turned his face towards her. "I didn't mean to belittle you or think you're easy. It's just because of my higher position in the office, which makes you hesitate to refuse."
Feeling that Olive still didn't want to talk, Thomas continued his words.
"I'm not that heartless. I genuinely want to be close to you, Liv."
"But you don't have to do it like that. I'm uncomfortable."
"Sorry," Thomas said sincerely. "I was wrong."
"Can you apologize too?"
"Of course, why not? I was wrong, after all. I dared to act that way earlier because I felt like you were comfortable with me yesterday. You even accepted my offer. Remember,

Olive acted normal. Nothing happened, even though she knew Dela often taunted her in the subtlest way possible. If she engaged, the counter table might end up in chaos. People like Dela were best kept at a distance. Not because Olive was afraid or hesitant. It was more about herself potentially acting weird and making mistakes."By the way, I've handed everything over to Olive. Starting Monday, she's the Acting Head Teller.""Not officially, right?" Dela asked with her innocent face. But Olive knew her tone was dripping with condescension."Even though it's not official, the responsibilities are the same. The assignment letter came directly from Mr. Matthew." Ayana smiled, trying to lighten the mood. But Olive remembered that Dela rarely confronted people like this. Dela and Marta might be close, but Olive never expected her to behave like this towards her.What's wrong with Olive and Thomas dating? If Bu Marta consistently faced rejection, didn't that me

"Our gathering preparations are almost done, sir. I've also arranged the costumes."Thomas nodded without taking his eyes off the report handed to him by the admin department."I've set yours aside, sir. It will be delivered today. Some employees didn't want to rent costumes, but I made sure they have separate ones.""Just make sure everyone fits the theme. Don't let this gathering become a burden, Marta," Thomas said, glancing briefly at Marta in front of him."Yes, sir. I understand."Thomas refocused on his work."The sushi from earlier... did you finish it, Mr. Thomas?"Thomas's pen paused, and he blinked slowly before smiling faintly. Clearly, Marta was flustered. His mere smile was enough to make her swoon. What about now?"Maybe it's gone. I gave it to Wina. It's not a problem, is it, Marta? Because I don't really like sushi."Marta's smile, which had been as bright as a payday morning for the employees, quickly f

On Friday afternoon, when all the SAVEFUND CBD staff were busy preparing for the upcoming gathering, Olive and her colleagues at the counter didn't really know what preparations were needed. Most of the planning was done by the admin and sales teams because for the frontliners, their work couldn't be left unattended. It also involved money and customer service.Even though it was only a small preparation, if not carefully considered, it could be chaotic during the event. Especially since Senayan was always expected to excel in terms of performance and appearance. Olive realized that Senayan was indeed the center of attention for many other branches.That's why the CBD WhatsApp group had been buzzing for the past few days, all revolving around their preparations. Olive didn't get too caught up in it. She simply listened to the instructions, most of which came from Marta. She had also prepared what she needed to bring. No need to rent anything. Olive had plenty of evenin

The night Olive spent this time had no hiccups at all. Everything went smoothly. Although she knew that the man who was never far from her was watching closely. Even though someone engaged her in conversation, and Olive knew that Thomas responded with laughter and interesting conversation, it seemed that his mouth spoke, his brain worked, but his eyes were only focused on Olive.Unfortunately, Olive felt that she was becoming the center of attention for another reason. It was better for her to finish dinner quickly and return to her room. There, she found Riana and Yossie. Fortunately, they were allowed to be together, so Olive could pour out all her concerns to Riana. As for Yossie? Well... maybe Olive had to learn to trust that this colleague was different from Dela.Ayana said that Yossie doesn't really care about office gossip. Naturally innocent, Yossie isn't easily influenced, especially since she had her own issues with Dela. That's why Ayana advised Olive to ma

There's nothing more enjoyable than playing with enthusiasm on a spacious field filled with challenges. Teamwork is crucial to tackle every challenge that comes their way. Olive blends in with a team from another branch. She's separated from her own group, but it's no big deal. Olive enjoys this game.During the break they're having, Olive is approached by Yossie and Riana, this time with Darius.They all look tired but wear a cheerful expression that won't fade."Darius was so crazy earlier," says Olive.Darius rolls his eyes. "You're the crazy one! Imagine if you didn't move around so much!""Come on, stop fighting. Besides, it's pointless because my team is winning!" Olive proudly declares."Damn it!" Riana and Darius both mess up Olive's already messy hair. Meanwhile, Yossie just chuckles, watching the three of them being so close."But after this, the most exciting part comes," says Darius after thoroughly messing up Olive's hair

"WOW!" If Yossie's eyes could jump out of their sockets, they would have done so by now. Not a second had passed without her noticing Olive, who had just come out of the bathroom. She was wearing a dark blue midi dress that hugged Olive's body perfectly. It was as if the dress was tailored for Olive, making her look graceful, beautiful, classy, elegant, and sexy all at once.Yes, indeed!The midi dress only reached Olive's thighs. Although it was long and sweeping at the back, it was clear that just from the front view, it would captivate anyone's attention. The dress was also sleeveless, showcasing Olive's collarbones perfectly."You look so gorgeous," Yossie praised, her mouth wide open."You look gorgeous too," Olive replied. She approached Yossie, adjusting the cardigan that covered the front of Yossie to make it less revealing. "I'll get you my collection necklace. It has the same bright blue color. I'll fetch it for you.""Isn't it too much,

Olive found herself in the center of attention now. It wasn't her fault that so many eyes were on her. Besides, why did Marta have to complicate the costume selection? With a feathered hairpin perched high on her head, Olive looked like a medieval noblewoman attending a party. She didn't want to waste money on all the fancy apartments that Marta had offered."What a waste of money," she muttered. Even though the reason Olive gave was that she had the right outfit for tonight's gala theme, she didn't want the hassle of renting an apartment and preferred to stick to her style. After all, the dress she was wearing was far from tacky. In fact, it received many compliments.At Gajah Mada, Sonia rarely chose complicated themes. She always consulted with her subordinates, made fair decisions, and helped prepare everything to make it easier. Different heads, different ideas, indeed."Watch out, Liv!" Yossie shouted in surprise as someone rushed towards them.Oliv

"Are you sure?" Riana asks with a skeptical look. "I don't really care about your outfit, but it would have been more appropriate with that cardigan earlier.""It just disappeared," Olive grumbles, not taking it well. "And I didn't even bring a spare blazer or jacket. I regret this. I usually bring extra clothes.""What are we going to do now?" Yossie looks panicked. "The event is about to start. Well, it's dinner first, though."Riana sighs in frustration, while Olive is bewildered. She can only pace back and forth aimlessly, not sure what to do. "I'll stay in the room. You guys go ahead," Olive says softly, accompanied by a smile.When she's locked in the bathroom, she panics for a moment and screams for help. Stupidly, she forgot to bring her bag with her phone. She quickly contacts Yossie and Riana, who arrive soon after. The bathroom appears to be locked from the outside, as if it was intentional. But who did this to Olive?"Look

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.

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.

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
