Thomas still picked up Olive on his motorcycle, not only for time efficiency but also because he didn't want to miss moments of closeness with Olive. They had breakfast together at the place Olive chose to fill not only their stomachs but also their hearts. Hearts? Yes, indeed! While chewing their food, Thomas also filled his spirit by observing every detail of his wife, who had so many quirks.
"Yah!" Olive sighed in disappointment. "It's still an hour away, Bae," she said with a disappointed expression. Her helmet visor was raised, her eyes were full of excitement as she was heading to her favorite chicken noodle place. Well... now it's all gloomy. Plus, her lips protruded five centimeters because she couldn't get what she wanted right now!
She really wanted to taste it; you know?
Oh God! Why did Thomas keep thinking about Olive's lips all the time? Whose fault was it that those lips were like a tornado at the center of a big storm in Thomas's life? And with
Nothing had changed in Thomas's activities on the fourth floor. He checked and reviewed loan applications, occasionally talked to crucial clients when there were complaints. Because when they filed objections, it usually affected other applications, which would then impact their targets. And one more thing, the CCTV that showed the counter area always appeared on the main screen. It had been intentionally moved to a larger section so that Olive's face could be seen more clearly. Even though they weren't in the same room, and he couldn't constantly watch Olive, this CCTV played a significant role in helping him. It also made Thomas chuckle before refocusing on the stack of applications on his desk. However, as he was only checking two applications, his phone vibrated softly. Thomas wanted to ignore it, but what if it was urgent? [CS Somerset: Good afternoon, Mr. Thomas. We inform you that the VVIP room service at our hotel is now available for booking. Regarding your
At the age of twenty-three, Olive had never been to a premier cinema like this. Right from the start, the privileges and the luxurious setting were evident. Guided to exchange the tickets, Olive looked at the tickets in her hand several times. "It's like an envelope with a love letter inside, Bae," she said, giggling. She couldn't bear to let go of the luxurious black and gold envelope. "Love letters aren't black, Bee," Thomas chuckled. He gently put his arm around his wife as they walked. Olive was too fascinated by the spacious room and the large screen in front of her, which was different from the regular theaters she used to visit with Darius and Riana. "Which seats are ours?" "It's over there," Thomas pointed out, choosing seats that were right in the middle of the room. "This is really exclusive, isn't it, Bae?" Thomas chose to smile faintly. "Have you been here before? Maybe with your ex?" "Not yet." Thomas asked Olive t
"Is this all your stuff, Bee?" Thomas confirmed. This was the last box going into the trunk of his car. Olive's large suitcase was already placed in the back seat of his car. The boxes Olive pointed out were about five, and they seemed enough to be placed in the room they would occupy later. Today was a bright Saturday morning when Thomas officially brought Olive to live in his apartment. Next week, their agenda would be to visit Thomas's house, which was still under renovation. And today, Thomas took Olive to spend some quality time together. "Yes," Olive emerged from her room. She was wearing a soft violet chiffon blouse with a bow accent in front. Her tight black jeans came down to her calves, creating a very sweet ensemble. Not to forget one thing that made Thomas lose focus. Olive's eyes had turned purple! Matching her outfit. It didn't really bother Thomas, but Olive looked incredibly cute. So cute that he almost didn't want other people to see her. But
Thomas parked his car exactly in the available slot. Hasan furrowed his brow in confusion when he saw the boss's car parked there again. "Good morning, sir," Hasan greeted as soon as Thomas got out of the car, but his steps hurried to open the door on the side. "Oh, good morning, Hasan. Sorry. Open the door for the Missus first." Hasan was taken aback. Thomas, who used to be rarely friendly, sometimes even had a half-hearted smile, had truly changed. According to the office gossip, his boss had fallen under the Olive Effect. A day without seeing her felt like centuries of separation. When they did meet, it was like a raging Reog performance. When he bowed down, it was only in front of Olive. That was Thomas's version in October this year. Actually, as far as Hasan knew during his time working at SAVEFUND Senayan, his boss rarely responded to women who approached him on a personal level. He behaved like a boss to his subordinates, nothing more.
No. That statement doesn't make Olive lose her focus. Personal matters are strictly off-limits at the counter. She's had enough warnings and lessons. Can't she remember that throughout her time working here? Besides, Thomas only gave her three months. Her relationship with Thomas at work remains strictly professional, although sometimes Thomas behaves oddly! The customer queue is long, requiring Olive to stay focused on each transaction slip, both from Dela and Yossie. Even though Dela is always under her watchful eye, she can't ignore Yossie either. She can't afford to be careless just because Yossie is her friend. If Yossie gets into trouble, she could get dragged into it too, right? "Miss Olive," Hasan called, knocking on the closed counter door. "Yes, sir?" "There's a delivery." Olive looked puzzled. "A delivery?" "Yes, Miss. I couldn't accept it because it's quite large and needs a place to put it." Olive's confusi
However, when Thomas descended from the fourth floor and approached Olive, who greeted him with a smile, nothing was amiss. Seriously, Olive could still joke about the bouquet he had given her earlier in the day. She said, "Your money is quite plentiful, huh? Wow... I won't hesitate to spend everything you have."Her smile was priceless to Thomas now. He knew that Olive hadn't had the chance to admire the bouquet properly since the SAVEFUND customers had been quite busy today. Olive had even taken her meals in turns with her coworkers. Their daily work routine remained unchanged. Thomas hadn't created any special situations for Olive just because he was her superior at the Senayan branch. As long as they were both bank employees..."Do you like the bouquet?" Thomas asked after ensuring that Olive had entered the car and was comfortably seated. He gazed at her beautiful face with an unwavering fascination. He also gently caressed her delicate cheek. Thomas knew that whe
He always forgot what he wanted to talk about, especially regarding their finances.Well... what can you do, right? The atmosphere was supportive, the soft bed was always ready to be torn apart, and Olive always managed to lure him into continuing their activities until his wife screamed his name at the end of their activities."Try opening the dashboard," Thomas instructed as he released their intertwined hands."Another hotel invitation, huh?" Olive was taken aback. "Oh, Bae, don't be ridiculous. My body still feels tired, you know. Can't you just do it once? I need to recharge. What if I get too tired and pass out? It's not funny, you know, Bae, if there's viral news about a wife passing out during her wedd—"Thomas wanted to pinch Olive's nose to cut off her breath entirely and then give her some extra breath right on her lips."Just open the dashboard," he said. If he continued to listen to Olive's nonsensical rambling, he would only bec
Marta had been a bit confused all day because of Thomas' rather strange request. Dela's performance from the beginning of her time at Senayan, along with her achievements and mistakes, was being assessed. It was noted for making year-end bonus evaluations. At SAVEFUND, all achievements and staff progress levels in terms of work were always appreciated, including the amount of the bonus received on December 25th each year."Anything else?" Thomas asked without taking off his glasses."No, Sir. Everything has been since Dela's internship year," Marta straightened her back slightly. "What's going on, Sir?""Oh," Thomas smiled faintly. "The branch in Bogor needs a replacement teller. Mr. Matthew requested someone senior to go there temporarily. Among Yossie and Dela, Dela is more senior, right?""Yes, that's true, Sir," Marta still didn't understand what Thomas was planning. As far as her knowledge went, being Thomas's subordinate and handling the administrat
