The woman wandered around. Counting the many possible encounters with the man made her a little uneasy. She was at a loss for what to say, while in the frequent chats sent to her, the man convinced Lily to work there.She was supposed to come today to fulfill the invitation to sign the contract. But she refuses with full conviction.In front of her, Cheryl seemed engrossed in her cell phone. Occasionally her head sways, making her pigtails move. Sometimes her forehead furrowed, and her lips pursed, perhaps annoyed that her game was lost. Often she cheered cheerfully when she got a high score. Lily actually recorded it clearly in her mind.Her uniform had changed into an Ice bear printed T-shirt complete with her name. On the sleeves, Lily had deliberately made creases up to the base of the sleeves. For some reason, a sweatshirt with such a style combined with short jeans with lace accents at the bottom, looked sweet and cute on the girl.Cheryl didn't fee

In the room, Lily opened a large red folder containing important documents regarding her identity. They were not originals, but they were all legalized, showing the validity of the documents. There was only one original sheet, which she would hand over until the time came. Submitting to her ex-husband and this would definitely lead to a meeting. She did not expect the time requested in every prostration to be granted by God so quickly.Lily should have been ready, right? Although she could not deny it, the feeling was still so suffocating. It made it difficult for Lily to breathe normally. She had to prepare her heart for all possibilities. All the memories that were vividly imprinted on her, played out without her being able to control even just remembering his name. The name that she used to pray for in every moment with the Creator.The beautiful memories with Levi Mathias were worth the pain the man had inflicted on her. Twelve years of a crumbling marriage and two

James read Lily's written report carefully. His forehead occasionally furrowed but he couldn't help but smile."I'm glad Cheryl hasn't been making my head spin lately."Lily only responded with a small corner line on her lips."You can really keep up with my daughter, huh.""Basically, every child is not naughty, sir. It's only us adults who can't get inside her head."James chuckled. He got up and took his usual stance."I think the report on Cheryl is finished, right, sir?" It seemed that the employer didn't really hear Lily's voice which was indeed unclear. "I'll take my leave then.""Wait. I still want to talk."Feeling that she was still being held here, Lily stopped herself from walking out of the room."It's about Mr. Levi."Lily froze. Letting the minutes pass cruelly because she was too busy listening to what her employer had just said."He wants to talk to you, Miss Lily."James seemed to c

The waves greeted Lily, and the salty smell had been wafting from the speed boat with the final destination of Tiger Island. The scorching sun before noon welcomed them there.A flurry of beautiful memories of the beach surfaced. Begging Lily to remember them, she ignored them. She took a deep breath and started focusing on how to at least enjoy the time without thinking about anything else.Anna took her on a vacation. Everyone in the big house was going without exception. Nina was excited when Anna made the announcement of the vacation. She said, "Nina will cook a lot there, Mrs. Anna. Grilled fish, grilled squid, if you can get crabs, mom. Later, Mr. James and Mr. Ahmad will do a lot of fishing."The middle-aged woman laughed at the ramblings of one of the people who helped her at home. Even Sari and Ahmad. They welcomed it no less cheerfully. For them, it was a free vacation."Miss, let's not take too long. I want to swim already!" Cheryl's shout made

"Do you really have to?"James frowned in surprise at the news Denny had brought. All the way from home, his mood, if put into sLily percentages, was at a thousand. Then it was destroyed by the information Denny had just told him. She had to attend an introduction session for their company's new ambassador candidate. The contract was no joke, for one semester. Usually the selection of a new face is only for one quarter."She's in the top ranks of famous models, anyway."James' movements, who was inking one of the contracts, stopped."Model? Usually artists.""Big boss if you want something different, James."James shrugged. "What time are we scheduled for the day?"He wanted to stay in his room. While later in the day, making video calls to his favorite daughter was the sneakiest way he had to hear Lily's voice.He still vividly remembers the casual conversation during the walk along the beach two nights ago. Just a casual conv

"Lily, don't you want to go home?"Her mother's voice trembled slightly on the other end. Lily held back the tears that were already rolling down her cheeks in one blink. Don't ask her how much she missed her mother. But it all vanished as she slowly remembered how the middle-aged woman had dealt with her."I haven't gotten my leave yet, Mom."There was a sigh of disappointment ringing in her ears."Don't stay too long in Jakarta, Lily. Help me here better."It wasn't that she didn't want to be with her mother at the shop. The two years she spent at home helping her mother in the shop did not make her heart feel better. Lots of questions, not a single ounce of compassion, not to mention the advice that led to her being blamed for what happened to her. Lily had enough of that.  Her mother? Instead of defending her or giving her a shoulder, she was often talked down to. If it wasn't for her father who occasionally warned her, her mother

James took his work screen quite seriously. Every now and then he slides over another sheet and makes comparisons. Marketing design said this was the final concept. But James felt there was something missing in some parts."James, aren't you eating?"James looked up. He glanced at the Tag Heuer, it was twelve minutes to five. He sighed softly."You should call Mr. Levi first. After lunch, I want to discuss with him. I'm afraid he's going out for a meeting."Denny just nodded and immediately carried out James' orders. "What a coincidence, Mr. Levi was just discussing with you after lunch."Just as James was about to get ready and turn on the sleep mode on his laptop screen, the cell phone that was still on the table rang. A video call came in that made James smile."Hello, Princess.""Hi, Papa." His cell phone screen immediately displayed the tired yet smiling face of his princess."How come you're home?" James was surprised but

It had been a week since Lily had last been to her employer's office. Now, she had to go back there, to take the young lady to pick up her father. She counted the chances of meeting the man as enormous. Very high. Moreover, the scope of her employer's work, according to Lily's belief, must be close. This time, James allowed Lily to wait for him in the car. For some reason, the permission James gave her earlier made her relieved. In the evening, she would thank him sincerely for that.She did not want any coincidences that could not be tolerated anymore. Even though her employer had asked, Lily didn't feel it was worth mentioning. It was her zone of privacy. She was not just anyone who would tell a story just to get sympathy. She wasn't.Nevertheless, Lily did not stop trying to make up her mind that the day would come when she would have to meet Levi. Her ex-husband. And she had decided on this night. Lily had calculated the various possibilities that would happen. Esp

Lily let out a long breath. She tightened her grip on the strap of her tote bag. She got out of the car slowly, determined that this would be the last time. After thanking the middle-aged man profusely for making time for her."Mr. James is worried about Miss Lily. I'm not bothered either," he said, which made Lily feel even worse. Sunday was supposed to be his day off. Mr. Ahmad was asked to drive and wait for Lily, as per his employer's orders. At first he refused, but James always had a way of keeping Lily quiet.James said, "Jakarta is big. You will get lost. It's better to be dropped off and waited for. It won't take long to meet Mr. Levi, right?"Not to mention he had to persuade Cheryl not to come along. It wasn't easy considering Lily was with him almost every day. Just like stamps, inseparably sticky. He promised that after he was done with his business, he would accompany Cheryl swimming. She also made cookies topped with colorful choco chips.C

"I'm hungry, Miss Lily."Lily already didn't know what her face looked like. If she could have switched, she would have done it since she made sure that her current employer took the wheel. Really, Lily did not understand when Mr. Ahmad switched with James?"Aren't you hungry?" asked James, occasionally turning to Lily who was now looking down. She tried her best to cover her face with her hair.The moment Ahmad's sedan rolled out of the garage, James' heart was already racing. While calculating all the worst possibilities as to what the response would be, he didn't care. After twenty minutes under a blanket of doubt, James caught up."I want to go home," Lily refused. She still didn't dare to lift her head just to make sure James wasn't looking at her with a pitying look."I was trying to cheer you up with food." James chuckled softly. His eyes were still focused on the steering wheel."Why?"Lily clearly heard James sigh. "I don't k
