Diana's hands were clenched tightly into fists.
"No way," Olive folded her arms across her chest.
"Then I'll call you myself," said Diana, who quickly stood up from her seat.
"Call me if you have no shame, Ms. Diana." Olive laughed softly. "Do what you plan to do. Leave your husband and children behind. Satisfy your fantasies about my future husband."
Diana turned around, looking at Olive with a look of disbelief. Where the girl seemed to casually talk. Instead of paying attention to her who was now staring intently, Olive was busy playing with the tips of her nails. As if Diana's presence here was no big deal.
"What do you mean?"
Olive chuckled. "Can't you understand what I'm saying, Mrs. Diana? You must be much older than me, right?"
Diana gritted her jaw. "I just want to talk to Thomas. I have nothing to do with you!"
"Obviously there is!" Olive leaned back slightly. "If you forget who I am, it doesn't matter if we get reacq
Thomas couldn't wipe the grin off his lips. Today, he was truly shown how a class act Olive was in the way she spoke, acted, took charge, and declared her ownership. It made Thomas quite smitten, wanting to have a private moment with the girl because he knew there were still lingering feelings in Olive's heart regarding Diana.Unfortunately, they were pressed for time. They couldn't afford to get stuck in traffic on their way back. The Puncak route could be incredibly frustrating when it was subjected to alternating open and closed traffic. Especially on the last day of a long weekend when people were out and about in the Puncak area for recreational activities."Did we forget anything?" Thomas asked once again before Olive got into the car. She was wearing an oversized white shirt with a love head print in blue or something, Thomas didn't really get it. All he knew was that the image was striking on the front. It was paired with knee-length casual pants, and one thing
Thomas just shook his head. He chuckled at Olive's antics earlier. "Your anger is intimidating, Bee," Thomas finally expressed."She brought it on herself, not being self-aware. She should have had three kids by now, with her brain working like that. The sane and normal one.""I didn't expect Diana to be like that either, Liv. Even though it seemed like their marriage was fine." Kalina chimed in. When Diana arrived, she overheard almost the entire conversation, and it made her hair stand on end. Her future daughter-in-law was not a weak woman, it turned out. She had high self-confidence and words that flowed like maximum spiciness chili. Sharp, spicy, and suddenly heated the atmosphere. But Olive said all of that for a reason.Kalina wouldn't blame Olive. In fact, if Diana acted even weirder and more boldly, she would call the head of the neighborhood council. Let everyone know that Diana was the one still thinking about her son. Maybe because this time Thomas b
Seira looked at her daughter with a broad smile, lovingly arranging Olive's strands of hair. This morning, they both woke up early, at the same time Olive was getting ready for work. This time, Seira was the one tidying up her daughter's hair after her shower. She applied hair vitamins as she had often taught Olive to take care of her hair herself. Olive's blonde hair was a masterpiece, carefully chosen to suit her face and complement her skin tone."Mommy's little girl is all grown up. There's someone who proposed." She gently pinched Olive's slightly pointed cheek."Mom, seriously?" Olive pouted. "Don't tease me like that. You're making me sad.""Why sad?" Seira was surprised. After all, she hadn't forgotten what happened last night. Why would Olive be sad now? Sometimes her daughter's words were quite erratic. "But I'm also a bit suspicious. Why did Thomas propose to you so quickly? Did something happen?"Seira wanted to ask last night, but Olive seeme
Thomas's treatment is still the same, no difference at all. He always pays attention to every detail Olive wears, especially her helmet. Until now, he hasn't swapped it for a more comfortable one. It's also enjoyable for him to put on Olive's helmet. To see up close the beautiful face that never ceases to amaze him.This time, they skip breakfast. They have limited time, and they don't want to be late for work, especially on the first day after a long holiday. Olive's hand is tightly held, and they don't care that many people are staring at them."In the afternoon, we'll stop by Plaza Senayan to look for a ring.""Do we really have to go to Plaza Senayan, Bae?" Olive exclaims in surprise. "It's expensive there.""Let it be. I still have enough money to get you the best one there.""You're so fancy!" Olive pouts. "You'll only know how it feels when I've really spent it all!""Well... maybe afterward, we can chill at home, Liv."
Olive frowned but then laughed quite loudly. Occasionally, she glanced at the box near her. "But it's nice, right?""Ask me again if it's nice or not, and I'll break up with you, Liv!" Riana said with annoyance. "I'm tired of hearing him praise the ring all the time. When will I ever get a ring from a guy? When?!" She shouted, ruffling her hair in frustration.This time, Olive returned to her hobby of gossiping with her three friends. While in Bogor, she hadn't thought of contacting them. Instead, she was busy dealing with Thomas's mother. Well... not really. What she meant was, she really enjoyed spending time with her future mother-in-law. It could be said that was the case, right?She had promised to explain everything in detail to her friends, no matter how long their conversation would last. She had to make it clear why there was a sudden engagement next week. The most ridiculous comment came from Darius. He said, "You're not pregnant, are you, Liv? I need
This was Olive's first time here. The distance from her home in Central Jakarta to this place in Karawaci was quite far. Since getting into the online taxi ordered by her mother, she hadn't said much.Not a word.Even though during breakfast, Olive was still chatting casually, including discussing the event for next Sunday. There wasn't really anything to worry about because her mother and future mother-in-law had prepared everything thoroughly. Aunt Koni herself had lent a helping hand. Ah... Olive was truly touched by all the help she was getting."Where are we, Mom?""What do you see?" Seira asked with a slight grin. Her eyes were fixed on one spot. A place she hadn't visited in a very long time. What for? There was no point."A cemetery," Olive quickly replied."That's right." Seira walked casually past the neatly arranged rows so as not to disturb the existing burial plots. The midday sun was scorching, and Seira had already opened the
Thomas arrived at the office with many glances directed at him. Most of them were filled with smiles and whispers, especially about his profile picture. "Oh, Mr. Thomas is finally officially engaged, huh?" Or, "Mr. Thomas is so affectionate. I'm jealous." Not to mention, "The moment he shows off his girlfriend, he gives her a ring right away, huh, Mr.?" Well, Thomas didn't really care. Everything they said was true, right? So all he could do was smile in response to all of them. Besides, the photo really did turn out well, didn't it? Thinking about the photo of himself putting the ring on Olive's finger, his smile wouldn't fade. Even though he didn't see Olive this morning because she took a day off, at least they had a brief chat before he went to the office on his own. It felt a bit strange, though, Readers. The car ride was quieter too. Thomas had already arranged for someone to drive Olive and her mother to their de
Marta knocked on Thomas' door and entered after being invited. In her hands were reports from the teller and cashier, which she had checked multiple times. She also emphasized the slips and postings made by Dela and Yossie. She didn't want any issues like the ones Dela had caused. Since Olive was on leave today, Marta was filling in, and Thomas was temporarily handling administrative work. Even though there weren't any significant problems, everything still needed to be double-checked. "Have a seat, Marta," Thomas said, motioning for Marta to sit while his eyes continued to focus on the reports. Especially the new credit application submitted by Kiara. "I... I want to congratulate you on the progress of your relationship," Marta said. No, Marta had come to terms with everything. She didn't want to be a home-wrecker. Hopefully, she could find a kind-hearted man who was right for her. There was no point in forcing it; she couldn't find compatibility. He
