I don't know how many times Samantha kicked her desk while throwing some files that came to her desk. None of the staff dared to approach her. Afraid of being exposed to her unending wrath and anger."Are you incompetent at your job?" Samantha shouted as soon as the report from the factory came in. The return of goods because the quality was different from the sample was the main reason why all this happened. Not just returns but also unilateral contract cancellation, which Samantha had no recourse to sue for."B-but, ma'am," one of the employees tried to speak up. "We've tried everything-""Shut up!" she screeched, massaging her temples as the fatigue and dizziness that had set in really filled her head. "Everyone out!"Without much argument, the four of them in Samantha's room quickly left, leaving the boss alone."What happens if Sams is like this?" asked one of them."I'm already preparing to leave. My resignation letter has been with HR for two days.""You're ahead of us?" the ma

"Welcome to the place where I only sleep." Fabian chuckled as he opened the door to his apartment. Fabian's words just now made Jane laugh too. Imitating the move as her eyes took in the surroundings including the interior that welcomed them."Very neat for a single man living in the city center," Jane said in judgment."Are you complimenting or mocking me, darling?" Fabian stopped walking. He turned around and immediately trapped Jane near the closet containing his shoe collection. What he did, Jane did not brush off at all. Instead, the woman wrapped her arms around Fabian's neck. As if resigned to accepting whatever Fabian would do to her.Including when Fabian easily lifted Jane's weight and sat her on a lower cabinet. Which contained some of Fabian's unused equipment. The handkerchief around her neck was also not removed by Jane at all. In fact, the woman laughed at Fabian's behavior which further eroded her distance."What do you want me to do?" asked Fabian with an intense look

"Antony gave the kind of testimony we expected." Richard chose to rest his back comfortably on the soft sofa available in Austin's room. You could say that in the end this part of the sofa was his favorite. I don't know how many times he had sat on it and it was always in the same position."Good." Austin only briefly looked up from the report Jacob had just given him five minutes ago. Regarding the impact of the ad using Jane Oliver's big name, it was exactly what it said. Austin never expected Jane to have this much influence.Especially since the news was still being talked about until this moment.Although there was no more confirmation from Jane's side, the news seekers were still working. Following wherever Jane's movements and activities lead. You could say that because of this too, Austin more or less knew what Jane was doing after the press conference. What about him, who is still the target of news seekers?Austin even hired a special escort so that he would not be easily fo

"Are you ready?" Fabian asked Jane before they sped off to the airport. Yazeran had been hit by a sandstorm recently. There was a possibility of flight delays as well as a longer-than-expected stay due to the extreme weather changes."What do you want an answer to?" asked Jane with a chuckle. Her hands quickly hooked the seat belt and she smiled widely. "I'm ready.""Nothing left behind?""I guess not." Jane's smile seemed to lose its lines. Which immediately made Fabian gently rub the top of his lover's head."Still angry?""When am I angry?" asked Jane as she lowered Fabian's hand. Clasping it tightly. "I follow whatever you decide."Fabian's smile was full. "So don't lose your smile over a trivial matter. It makes me sad, Olive.""Alright." Jane laughed. "Come on, let's not delay too long. We don't know what the journey there will be like.""You're right." Fabian immediately started the car engine. Driving at a moderate spee

There was a nervousness that swept through Calysta as she stepped into the room reserved for receiving guests from outside the courtroom. Moreover, their meeting was arguably, from the side of the perpetrator and the victim. As Calysta stepped into the room, already seated in one corner, her husband... ah, could she still hope, just a little?"Please take a seat, ma'am," said Richard who started the conversation first.Calysta just nodded slowly. Continuing her steps with eyes that did not turn anywhere but to Austin's figure who chose to stare at his cellphone. It was as if something distracted him from wanting to look at Calysta who was now sitting in front of him.Calysta wanted to ask, "How are you, Austin?" But it was all stuck on the tip of her lips. He was only able to stare silently at the figure he actually still loved. That's right. There was only one person who controlled her heart for a long time. Unfortunately, she was too stupid to be blinded by an

Yazeran was still the same as Jane last remembered. It was sandy and the weather was quite extreme for someone used to colder climates. Luckily, she had prepared herself because she had visited Yazeran several times, including a photo shoot with a famous model whom she was still good friends with."Let's make a quick stop somewhere. Do you mind?" asked Fabian as he took Jane's hand. They walked leisurely, the luggage that filled the trolley, someone took care of it. Fabian didn't want to bother about accommodation while in Yazeran. He wanted to enjoy his time with Jane.Especially after he told her what had been covered up. Not many people knew about his past, even the noisy trio didn't necessarily know the details about life before Fabian was at this point. He is not someone who easily shares his dark story with others. Even though he trusts them, it doesn't mean he can reveal it clearly. Because he believed that the past that Fabian had lived was not a good thing to

"Do all these demands make sense?" Calysta asked her legal team. "This is all driving me crazy!"The lawyer accompanying Calysta, Noland, could only sigh softly. "Everything about their charges makes perfect sense. Plus the evidence submitted is enough to keep you on your toes."Calysta chuckled. "Are you guys trying to help me, or are you trying to get me in trouble?"Noland chose not to speak up. Apart from not finding any loopholes to refute and finding ways to defend his client, the man himself was already quite nervous about the opponent in front of the court. A team of lawyers at the level of Richard had intervened in several hearings of cases involving Calysta and Goojoo. Noland more or less knew Richard's work as a lawyer in this country. There has not been a single case that has lost in court every time he has handled it. Plus, the arrival of Rein's team. Oh my God!Why did Noland have to face a situation like this, anyway?"Besides all th

Questioning the past, it was not easy for Fabian to tell others. Only Jane. Because he grew up in an environment that might not be expected to give birth to someone who is a genius in fashion. Even Fabian himself could not understand why he ended up on this path."What are all those books and colored pencils for, huh?"Fabian trembled but could not let go of his grip on the sketch he had just finished drawing. He dared not look at the owner of the booming voice behind him. Certainly, there would be a whipping or two in store if he did not stop his activities immediately. But really, as long as he carved the tip of the pencil on the blank paper that was made into a design of clothing with a firm line at the waist, he felt that he had found a world that was so pleasant."Fabian!""Ta-but, Mom," Fabian closed his eyes tightly. He tried not to flinch despite his mounting fear. "I'm... just drawing."That remark was met with a very rough booty. It was s
