The world Jane steps into now seems to stop. There's only her, staring at the man in front of her. He sits calmly, with a faint smile, occasionally engaging sweetly with the woman beside him. When Austin is with her, he never acts gentle. What she sees feels like her heart being roughly squeezed.
"I'm here to save you, Olive."
That's Fabian's voice. It sounds clear, making Jane immediately realize she shouldn't stay silent here. Jane blinks twice, convincing herself that Fabian is indeed there. She gives a faint smile while reaching out her hand. No, Jane is sure Fabian doesn't want that hand to be greeted but signals her to continue walking.
So that's what Jane does. Even though she feels like her feet aren't touching the ground anymore, she tries hard to minimize any mistakes that could happen due to her silence earlier. Brina's voice giving instructions, Nico directing how she should pose appropriately with its own aesthetic value, and the voices of the noisy

Fabian glanced at his watch. The press conference he had to attend is just five minutes away. This conference is crucial for the success of SEO's season turnover. Surely, high-ranking SEO officials are eagerly awaiting what he will talk about during the conference. They might even be watching to see how the event, which started an hour ago, has successfully unfolded."Sir," gasps Irena."Did you meet a ghost?" Fabian smirks while pulling out his cigarette. "Five minutes late, Irena."Irena groans in frustration. "I can't move freely, that annoying SEO boss! This dress is really hindering me."Fabian wants to laugh, but only a thin grin appears. Imagining Irena running around in a slightly tight dress around her legs seems quite challenging. But in Fabian's eyes, tonight, Irena looks different. Much more graceful than her everyday tight pants and stiff blouse."But occasionally, it doesn't matter, Irena. You look different."Irena smirks. "I

The whole event is over, and the woman didn't expect to endure until the last session; the lively closing ceremony. Fireworks lit up as a sign that the hard work of most SEO staff had paid off. And almost none of them finished the event until it was truly over.Still, the main boss is still there, occasionally greeting the workers warmly. Instead of receiving a warm welcome, Fabian is met with puzzled looks. Also, the staff quickly leaves him. As if Fabian's friendly greetings were the weirdest thing in the world."Why are they acting like this?" Fabian mutters in surprise. He loosens his shirt, rolling up the sleeves to his elbows. Fabian doesn't pay too much attention to his appearance at this final session. He just wants to ensure that his guests are well taken care of."I think you should head back to the hotel, Olive," Fabian approaches Jane, who is sitting at the edge of the banquet area. Most guests have already left, leaving the workers to tidy up everyt

"There's something we want to buy, Olive. Maybe after this, we'll head to downtown. Aren't you curious about how this city is?" Ursula asks with sparkling eyes. "I, for one, can't wait to roam around the Yamada building. Lots of tourist spots and shopping centers.""Your straightforward mind reveals something, Sula," Harvey teases with a chuckle. "But I agree with you. We do need the city vibes to relax. When else can we enjoy the beauty of the city dubbed the romantic city in the West? We're duty-free for the next two days."Ursula laughs. "The torment is coming, and it feels suffocating if we can't make the most of our free time."Jane, who has been enjoying their conversation, furrows her brow. "Will that apply to me too?"They all nod together."Especially you," Harvey quickly adds. "I'm sure Irena is busy arranging your schedule. I remember when I first joined SEO and completed my first task. I couldn't imagine how tired and on the verge of te

Jane couldn't hide her surprise at the many things she had to do. Irena, sitting in front of her, chose to enjoy the slices of cake Jane served. She could see Jane's eyes wandering, examining every part of the sheet that had just been handed over."You... aren't kidding, right, Irena?" Jane asks with an incredulous look."There's no way I'd lie to you about the schedule." Irena chuckles. "I've also given your schedule to Brina. You're lucky; Brina is asked to handle you this season."Jane is stunned."That's why the noisy trio doesn't bother me, Olive." Irena cheers. "Apart from Brina being a blessing for them, you know.""Oh my." Jane can only sigh in frustration. She didn't care about who her partner would be during the SEO schedule. Brina and Nico had warned her; she had to prepare herself as much as possible after the show. Her vacation was only two days and had to be used wisely.Fortunately, the noisy trio also got the same holiday sch

Fabian strolled through the airport area casually. Two SEO staff members were in charge of bringing all their equipment, including suitcases. For his business in Yazeran, Fabian didn't need to take Irena along. Besides, Yazeran, the place where he grew up, had its own meaning. He did want to do something there.Nearby, Jane walked trying to appear relaxed. Fabian could sense Jane's discomfort when there were several reporters intentionally trailing them."Calm down, don't be too stiff. They won't be able to reach us," Fabian reassures her.Jane glances at him with a pout. "Is this really how it feels?""That's right," Fabian laughs. "That's why, just relax. Don't worry too much. Let them work for their share. You do your part, and I think your outfit choice this afternoon is quite charming.""Thanks for the compliment," Jane smirks."You're too stiff, Olive," Fabian jokes again. "Oh, by the way, did Irena give you the latest schedule?"
