Fathia immediately tried to cover Jess's mouth, who was already bursting into laughter. This made Fathia chase her even more energetically, while Jess continued to evade Fathia's pursuit."Uh... why are we playing chase? Let's eat first, Miss. It might get cold," Naomi intervened, shaking her head, though she couldn't hide the warmth that suddenly filled her. It had been a long time since she had seen her young miss this cheerful. Indeed, Jess's presence seemed to bring a new vibrancy to the young miss. At least she didn't always feel like she was alone. There were still many who cared for her, including herself, of course."Jess, you're annoying." Fathia crossed her arms. Her lips pouted. She sat, looking at Jess with a disapproving gaze."Ugh... sulking like that is not attractive, you know!" Jess teased and then burst into laughter again. "Alright, fine. Let's eat first. Tomorrow we'll need a lot of energy."Fathia agreed with that. She began to eat ca

Fathia returned to the routine that limited her movements. She only hoped that the day would come when she could have an afternoon shift. Her mind was full of questions, and for some reason, she believed that something was hidden there. Also, she hoped that this weekend Kenzo would return home. So, she could freely be in her father's workspace."Hey, Anne," Vino greeted with an overly friendly tone, making Fathia turn quickly. Confused, she stared at Vino without blinking. Her reverie about all her hopes vanished. It was replaced by Vino standing next to her work desk with a slight smile. This made Fathia even more anxious, where her conviction that Sebastian also Vino knew who she really was.Fathia just responded with a nod. Behind her mask, she smiled hesitantly. Since morning, she had been suspicious, but she had brushed it all aside because Sebastian was too present since earlier. He left her only when the clock struck ten. And even that only lasted half an hour.

Leaving behind the hope that had soared so high—being able to overhear the conversation between Sebastian and Alef. As she passed Vino, it was the man who smiled warmly and nodded slightly at her first. Fathia was suspicious, but she couldn't voice it now. All she could do was respond with a small nod and gracefully walk away.Since Fathia's workspace was on this floor, she couldn't easily go to the floor where Jess worked. A little puzzled, she headed towards the pantry near the elevator that the employees used to move between floors. Walking slowly, she observed the employees working under the Azure Group. Even though this area was only occupied by the HRD and Finance departments, Fathia could still sense that they were some of the pillars of Azure.There was banter among them. And their focus on their respective tasks. Plus, back when Clara was in the marketing division, there were many casual conversations where their lives depended on the Azure Group. So, if

"His name's Alan," Fathia said, her lips still trembling, which didn't fade even though she tried her best to shake off the recent event. Her eyes kept darting back and forth, staring out the car window. Scared."Alan? Alan who? You've been acting so suspicious, Fathia. What's up?" Jess couldn't just casually ask, but now they were in the car. Mr. Dennis was in the front, driving the car promptly."That person, Jess. That person," Fathia exclaimed in frustration. "Oh God! I can't possibly forget!""Yeah, who?" Jess pressed impatiently, but suddenly, she remembered something. "Don't tell me it's..."Fathia nodded, though she didn't understand what Jess meant by "the same person.""Seriously?""I have a lying face?"Jess shook her head. "But are you okay, though? How do you know? Weren't you in Mr. Sebastian's room? How could this happen?"Ah... when Jess started firing off a string of questions like this, it meant they were talking about the same person they were trying to reach. Inste

Fathia lifted her eyes to look at Jess. Her eyes were teary. Her mind clearly pictured her mother's handwriting, which had strengthened her resolve. She would get Group Azure back. Restore it fully and uncover everything. Anything that covered Djea, whatever the risk, including... telling Sebastian the truth about who she is."Mommy said, Uncle Alef threatened to kill our family because she didn't want to follow his wishes in Group Azure.""Wow... it's getting crowded, huh! Is your uncle actually the owner of Group Azure?" Jess facepalmed."I don't even know, Jess. That's why I didn't want to take over Group Azure because of this. It's complicated. I don't understand things beyond my logic, and now I have to understand them. Like a business conspiracy, right?"Jess nodded. "Your language is getting cooler, Fathia."Amid the fear, confusion, and the tangle of threads ahead of them, there was still something that made them both laugh. Exchanging jokes even though they were aware that wh

Jess rolled her eyes as Fathia nonchalantly mentioned that she would reveal her true identity after they found the files they were looking for in the archive room. "I thought you'd be the one all pumped up about meeting Sebastian tomorrow and confessing your true self.""Why do you sound more excited?" Fathia retorted.The girl sighed, moving a little away from where she was sitting earlier. "Well, I'm motivated. I want to know about those heartless people who've separated some folks from their happiness.""Including you?" Fathia interrupted spontaneously. Jess turned to look at Fathia, appearing bewildered. Her eyes blinked slowly, a sad smile emerging on her lips."You're right. Including me, with the happiness I once had."Fathia sat up straight. "Roy?"Jess maintained her gaze and expression. "Yeah." Then she looked up at the ceiling of the room she was in. She sighed softly, closing her eyes. "Roy left me even though... even though, you

"My concentration is ruined. My meetings are disrupted. And it's all your fault."Fathia blinked slowly. Her heart protested vehemently. Where was her fault? She had gotten her schedule and arrived on time. Sure, Jess had persuaded her to get this afternoon shift, but she still felt she hadn't done anything wrong. So, what was it? Why was this man so angry?"Make me some coffee," Sebastian ordered then, which Fathia immediately responded to with a soft nod.From the corner of her eye, she was almost one hundred percent sure that those pitch-black eyes were only focused on her, not wandering anywhere else, especially when she was brewing the coffee. If that gaze had lasers that could drill holes, her back would have holes for sure, and it would even penetrate to the coffee machine.Even when she lifted the coffee cup for Sebastian, he still hadn't shifted his gaze. Slowly, Fathia served him. She stepped back a bit from Sebastian's desk and started thinking

Fathia couldn't stop cursing in her mind about how stupid she almost slipped up. Why did she fall asleep there of all places? Argh! If only she could scream, she would have done it ages ago. She frustratedly tousled her hair over and over, not caring that her appearance was a mess right now. What she cared about was what if... what if... Sebastian finds out that she's undercover?"What are you doing here for so long?"Fathia turns around suddenly. Thankfully, the handle of the mop she was holding doesn't fall due to her surprise. In front of her, two girls named Ineke and Diah are giving her unfriendly looks. Since they first met all the staff under Biyan, these two girls have always looked at Fathia and Jess with cynical glances."Could you work a bit faster? You won't get the afternoon shift later, and you're still slow at your work. Newbie is so annoying," Ineke says sarcastically.Hearing that, it clearly makes Fathia furrow her brows. She wants to sa

Fathia thought, her hand's grip slightly loosening as they arrived at the basement of the building she could never forget. Sebastian's apartment. Turns out, she was wrong. In fact, she felt even more drawn to Sebastian, to the point where she felt out of breath. Just trying to keep up with Sebastian's pace was overwhelming her."Sebastian," Fathia finally groans. They're in the elevator that specifically takes them right to the front door of Sebastian's apartment. "Hurts.""Hurts? Did I hurt you?" Sebastian asks with concern, suddenly looking like a kidnapper. He releases his firm grip. He quickly brings Fathia's hand, which he was holding before, closer. He gazes at her intensely, causing Fathia to hold her breath. She tries to pull her hand away a bit, but Sebastian stops her.He gently kisses the part that seems reddened because of his actions. He feels guilty afterwards because Sebastian went a bit too far. He shouldn't have scared Fathia or made her hurt li

"So all this time you've been learning to make coffee?"Without hesitation, Fathia nods. She slowly brings the freshly brewed cup of coffee to serve to Sebastian, who's now sitting comfortably in the living room. He's taken off his expensive blazer, leaving a faded green shirt rolled up to his elbows. The tie that was once around his neck now hangs with the blazer.And Fathia too. She's changed out of her uniform into more casual clothing. A sleeveless dress that clings tightly to her body, which she grabbed straight from her own room. Truly, entering her room again was something she never expected to happen so soon.Sebastian's prohibition wasn't a joke. He absolutely wouldn't allow Fathia to leave his sight. She carefully asked Vino about the file she needed. She also left a message with Jess, letting her know she's safe with Sebastian. Fathia is sure her friend will be searching for her with great concern.Her phone and bag were left in the locker. She
