Olive really wanted to laugh, but she held it in tightly; she didn't want Yossie to sulk and be beyond consoling. Olive herself could be quite stubborn when she got moody. And especially with Yossie, who seemed to be serious when annoyed, irritated, and had the urge to scratch someone.
And that person was just grinning for no reason!
"Sorry, Yossie. I didn't mean to." Andre smiled widely and extended his hand as a gesture of apology. That face, man, it was already cute, and combined with this adorable way of apologizing. It made Olive want to take him home, you know?
What on earth was Olive thinking? God! Give Olive a little sanity so she doesn't go crazy over this weird Andre. Yossie's been cursing nonstop since earlier.
No, that wasn't it. Olive felt that Andre was seeking Yossie's attention. After Marta introduced Andre, for some reason, the deputy branch head got permission to leave the office. He looked a bit tense; Olive heard it was something urgen
Robert observed every item that Seira picked up and placed in the shopping cart. He was somewhat puzzled about why Seira was buying so much this afternoon."Aren't you only planning to make beef ribs soup?" Robert asked, voicing his curiosity. "Why are there cooking oil and tissue paper here?"Seira remained silent."Syrup too. What's it for?" Robert was still trying to engage her in conversation. Since their return from lunch, Seira hadn't uttered a word. Even when he got close to trigger her emotions, she remained like a statue. Usually, Seira hated it when he approached and kissed her without any reason.But earlier?To be honest, Robert was a bit afraid. What did he do wrong?It's not that. After they bid farewell to his mother, Seira had been so affectionate with him, accepting hugs from his mother. They weren't usually like that."Seira," Robert called once more. "Are you angry?"Seira focused on choosing the brand of sug
Nathan tapped the end of his pen on the table, creating a rather annoying noise in the quiet room. His eyes remained fixed on nothing but the CCTV footage of the house he sometimes stayed in. Sometimes, he watched it closely, at times staring in disbelief. What's even crazier, Nathan smirked briefly, and then burst into laughter like a madman."This, well, is a drop-dead gorgeous performance," Nathan said, as he rubbed his CCTV screen.Ever since he met Seira, Nathan couldn't help but think about the red-haired woman. She had suddenly entered his life and Naina's. Was this God's way of answering his prayers for a soulmate? It sure seemed like it. After Seira's return, who didn't want a ride from him and acted cold towards him, he asked Parjo for all the information he could get about her.It's unlikely his driver and trusted aide didn't know anything about Seira."Yes, Sir. She first met Miss Naina at Thamrin City.""Why was Naina there?" Nathan as
Thomas had sighed who-knows-how-many times. His in-laws, Olive, and the man he had just met as his father-in-law's friend and boss had successfully left him feeling helpless. Okay, Thomas would tell one by one what happened once he entered the boarding house.As he knew, Olive was overjoyed to find out her mother was still there. She even promised a special homemade dinner. Olive's smile never faded throughout the journey back. Although, yeah... it gave Thomas a stomach ache because of her confusing analogies.That was because of a phone call from his mother in Bogor."Anyway, if I get pregnant, you're responsible! I don't want to deal with a baby!!!"Ugh! Olive's statement was truly a test for Thomas.And that wasn't all, because as soon as he came home and Olive happily stepped out of the car, they were surprised by the pile of groceries in the corner. Meanwhile, his in-laws ruled the kitchen. No, Thomas didn't mind the messy kitchen. In fact, he
Kalina, Seira, and three of Olive's friends. Oh, and one more, of course. The new guy who always teases Yossie until she gets annoyed and frustrated but can't refuse. Andre is truly remarkable! So, on this Saturday morning, Thomas and Olive's apartment is filled with just their voices.Their intention for coming is to help Olive prepare for the reception that will take place in less than three weeks. Although they had a rough discussion with the wedding organizer two days ago, the final details have yet to be determined. Well... even though Olive isn't overly fussy, it turns out that everyone gathered here is the troublemaker."I think Aunt Koni should be the makeup artist. It's good, you know. I like it. I look so pretty," Riana praises with sparkling eyes."You're beautiful because of the makeup, proudy," Darius sneers while flipping through each sample of the invitation template."Ugh! Why don't you mind your own business!"Darius chose to turn
Yossie just nods. This is Olive's event, but why is she bothering herself? Well, for Yossie, Olive is more than just a coworker. They've leveled up to being friends. That's why she doesn't mind being bothered like this. She's actually quite happy, especially when she gets to hang out with Riana and Darius. When else would that happen? Even if she has to be constantly followed by Andre. Ugh, that kid is such a bother!"Now, for the other invitations, just use this one. It's more practical," Olive points to the beautiful black mugs."Done then for the souvenirs." Yossie double-checks her list."What about the bridesmaids?" Riana interrupts. "Your big day is just around the corner. Don't let those dresses go unprepared. I'll be mad!""Mom's got that sorted," says Kalina, making everyone turn towards her. "Mom's friends are coming here. They'll take your measurements and let you choose the models you like. The ones in Bogor have already been prepared; it's ju
The man adjusted his shirt, looking in disbelief at the building where his journey had led him this evening. The deafening music that made his heart race was already audible. Other visitors who were starting to arrive seemed relaxed and oblivious to their surroundings.Nathan grinned, "Is this Olive's mom's workplace?" Then, he let out an annoyed sigh. "If it weren't for Naina, I really wouldn't want to enter a place like this. I'd prefer a private party." Unfortunately, his grumbling didn't deter him from his mission.He had to go inside to make sure the woman he met for the first time in the hospital and requested her time to meet Naina really worked here. Nathan thought that if it was true that Olive's mother worked here, it wouldn't be difficult to get her to leave, would it? Consider it a booking.Nathan chuckled at his previous thoughts. He walked into the building without hesitation, and as soon as he stepped inside, the music overwhelmed him. At a glance
Seira furrowed her brow when she found a little kid sitting in the front chair. She had placed it there to welcome guests who might come to visit. Usually, she would use it to sit and enjoy her cup of coffee and her cigarettes."Who's that, Seira?"The woman turned and smiled faintly. "There's only one child brave enough to do this with me, Ro."Robert raised an eyebrow. "If it's too disruptive, make sure to give your warning, Seira."Seira immediately nodded. "I will. Because this child also made Olive angry yesterday."Robert gently patted Seira's back as he followed her every move, especially as she approached the little girl who appeared to be asleep there."Parjo," Seira called without needing to turn around. She was sure that the man would never be far from her little mistress."Yes, Mrs. Seira.""What is Naina doing here?" she asked with her arms folded across her chest. Her eyes fixed on the girl who was now squirming a
"So, are you serious, Tom?" Matthew asked while placing the wedding invitation he had just received. This was the last time he inquired about Thomas's decision. It wasn't because of the wedding invitation he had just received, dear God, no. That was a different matter. In fact, Matthew was delighted that he had finally received an invitation from his hardworking junior."Dead serious, Sir," Thomas said with a confident tone. It had been two weeks since he had a significant meeting with his boss, where there was a lot of persuasion involved to get Thomas to stay. Even the salary negotiation had left Thomas breathless. But he had made up his mind.His mother always told him that determination and unwavering belief in anything he chose to pursue were signs from God to bless his life. So, Thomas had no doubts when he decided to continue working at Savefund Senayan, even if it meant moving to the headquarters. Bachelor didn't understand why he hesitated."Okay, if th
