"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

Austin was busy looking over the sales report Jacob had given him. There was a significant increase on several fronts. Last week, before Samantha and Marcel's trial was held, he had visited the two main factories. Supervising directly on the part that had been missed in terms of supervision. As well as the way they produce goods that are now starting to rise in terms of sales and demand. Not only that, Jacob also said there were several new names that applied for cooperation."It's like you're drowning in a flurry of activity, sir," Jacob said with a smile. In his hand, there was another file he wanted to hand over to his boss. It just so happened that the door to Goojoo's owner's office was not closed, as if anyone could visit him. Or if Jacob could give an opinion, the boss was busy with many reports.So it was useless if the door was closed but knocked frequently."Not really." Austin grinned slightly. "Did you prepare the materials for our meeting later? The

Calysta stood among the dozens of camera beams. Turning a deaf ear to all the questions thrown at her. Frowning as she realized the consequences of being in the crowd of reporters who had been waiting for her."You... sure?" asked Noland as he handed Calysta a hat, goggles, and mask to cover her face. At least, in this case, even though those two things were not needed because Calysta's face had been widely circulated on social media, but at least they could disguise Calysta's haggard-looking face.Her eye bags were big. Her eyes were also lifeless. Plus, the face that was usually covered in light makeup only showed a simple appearance. At the very least, Noland saved Calysta from the facial publicity that could have made her the target of others. It was enough that Calysta got what she did."What else can I do? I don't like to delay. Let it be. I don't know about the news after this either." Calysta smiled slightly. "Thank you for the hat. I really appreciate i
