Always Been You 29 Stroke of Fortune
Working at a hotel as well as managing Indah’s pastry shop wasn’t a piece of cake. Having lesser time to rest was energy-draining. Moreover, the HR department was never without work to finish. Indah wouldn’t have been able to do anything if she hadn’t pleaded with Grace. Eventually, she allowed her mom to make pastries but in a lesser amount than usual. Meanwhile, she dealt with the sales, assisted by Evan and Anthony. Seeing how hard Grace worked, Evan couldn’t just stay and watch. He knew that it was time for him to do something. Therefore, he deliberately created a new position that had never existed in the history of hotel management. After his proposal was approved by the hotel owner, he gave Mario, as the HRD manager, to internally spread the news. “Grace! Have you seen this? There’s a new position that best suits your skills!” said Nita, after running toward her colleague. Unenthusiastically, Grace turned to Nita. "What's that?" Without getting Grace’s permission, Nita open

“Grace, you left your purse at home.” The sudden call coming from Indah stopped Grace from walking, right when she stepped into the hotel. “Goodness! Did I? I think I left it on the dining table?” Grace was reminded of her rare recklessness. “Kid, you got too nervous due to the pre-employment test.” Indah cackled with laughter. “I’ll send your purse over. Just calm down. Take a deep breath, and pray. I’m sure you can do it.” Grace’s smile appeared as soon as she heard Indah’s words of encouragement. She felt a little calmer, especially with her mom’s full support. “Okay, Mom. Please tell the delivery man to tell security to send it to Grace HR. There are several Graces here.” “Break a leg, mama’s girl!” This remark marked the end of the call. With a steady heart, Grace continued walking and stopped in front of the elevator. There were some people, whom she didn't know, waiting there too. Even so, she still showed a friendly smile to them. “Miss Grace!” It was clear who the cheerf
Always Been You 31 Some Changes
Nita rushing back home wasn't a common sight to see. Grace was actually about to invite her to dinner with Evan, her mom, and also Anthony, after having received the good news. She was exuberant about being chosen as the head of the translation subdivision under her own steam. Likewise, unfortunately, Evan was too busy with work that required him to take Vino out of the office. It made Grace a little dispirited since there would only be her mom and Anthony. Grace went straight home and looked for some restaurant references after showering. While waiting for her mom to get ready, she texted Anthony to come at half past six. A moment later after getting the three best choices of the restaurants, Grace entered Indah’s room. She was about to inquire about her opinion. The bathroom door was closed, but she could see the light was still on from the ventilation. “Mom, why are you taking too long there?” Grace checked the digital clock on her phone and realized that Indah had spent nearly
Always Been You 32 A Question
“We hereby announce that Mr. Williams has officially been assigned a minimum of six months to lead our new hotel branch in Vietnam. Most likely more. Hence, the position of GM will be temporarily replaced by Mr. Suganda. Hope everyone can work well together for the betterment of this hotel. The meeting is over." That was the announcement made by Roger, the hotel owner about a week after Evan returned. When everyone present at this important meeting left the place as if nothing had happened, it was different for Evan and Grace, who were disappointed. Each of them pondered over the sudden and unexpected decision. "So this is what you wanted to tell me last night?" Grace started the conversation when there was no one else in the meeting room but them. She made the sound of her voice calm and relaxed despite the turmoil in her heart. Evan nodded weakly with a heavy sigh. "Why in the world when things are settled and peaceful, must there be such an unpleasant situation?" he complained, t
Always Been You 33 Another Question
“Why am I missing him already?” Grace mumbled to herself, staring at the laptop screen in her bedroom. Already getting used to being together and once again being separated still gave her unpleasant feelings, even though Grace and Evan's friendship had been mended. They stayed in touch as if no day without communication. At least they would send a short message. Evan sent pictures, showing every side of Vietnam he visited. On the other hand, Grace told him about her new daily work routine as the head of the translation subdivision, and the progress of Indah's pastry shop. Nina, Anthony's little sister, had been working as a cashier for the past three months at the pastry shop. Indah's workload was reduced and her health improved. As usual, Anthony helped deliver some pastry orders when it came to quite distant places. Without Evan being around, Anthony got more chances to spend more time with Grace. He made use of every opportunity well, still trying to win her heart.“Grace. What
Always Been You 34 Restlessness
For the past two weeks, Anthony's deepest feelings had been troubling Grace. So far every kindness he had shown her and Indah had made a significant impression. There was even a time when she considered Anthony a good husband-to-be.Nevertheless, the trauma Grace had of men caused by her dad made her withdraw quickly. Like a flower having no time to bloom and yet suddenly dying due to winter.Surprisingly enough, Anthony didn't give up yet, even though he hadn't gotten any answer from Grace since that time. In Evan's absence, he used as much time as possible to show that he deserved a chance.Hence, Indah became more and more aware of what Anthony intended to do. She didn't mind his help at all. However, seeing the repercussions for her daughter, she felt the need to intervene."Do you think I have to talk to Anthony?" Indah asked when Grace was enjoying the porridge she made for breakfast.Grace shook her head. "No need, Mom. We are both adults. You don't have to get involved in this
Always Been You 35 Unfavorable Surprise
"Who is that woman?" After holding back her curiosity until she returned home, Grace finally tried to find out about the beautiful woman she saw in the video call with Evan.Evan was not someone who would upload photos to social media, but his account had remained active since their friendship was restored. Hence Grace looked at his I*******m and F******k accounts, thinking she could get some information.Her hunch turned out to be right. There is an account that tagged Evan's account on I*******m. Veronica Anh, that's her profile name. That woman had nearly ten thousand followers who most likely followed her because of her beauty."You look so serious. What are you looking at?”"A woman approached Ev—nothing." Too focused, Grace almost answered Anthony's question, whose arrival she didn't notice. She lowered her phone and looked at him. “Why are you here this late, Ant? It's almost nine o'clock."Anthony held up a plastic bag filled with starch balls. “Earlier, Bli Wira passed in fron

"Vino, there is a change of plan. I can’t return to Vietnam as planned. So, please handle some stuff as long as I'm not there. Please keep this matter down before I speak to Mr. Roger.” Evan immediately contacted his secretary as soon as he arrived at the hospital. He clearly didn't want to go back to Vietnam in this situation.Without asking further, understanding that there was something serious through Evan's delivery tone, Vino immediately agreed. After all, he already understood why his boss wanted to return to Bali all of a sudden. His experience of working almost a year with Evan had made him accustomed to the GM's expectations when thrilling surprises came his way.At that moment, the hospital was quiet, but Evan and Grace's minds were both filled with worries about Indah's condition. It'd been half an hour since the medical team had treated Indah and the doctor hadn't come out once to say anything.Ever since they were on the way to the hospital, Evan felt very guilty for bein
