"Where are we going?"
Lily finally spoke up after being silent beside Erwin as the driver.
"Breakfast."
"I know that clearly. The location?"
Erwin smiled.
"You don't seem sincere about going out with me." While glancing at the woman beside him. True to his guess, the beautiful face that was polished with thin make-up again flinched. Not responding at all to his words.
"I'd like to take you for a honey-dipped waffle." Erwin turned his head again, hoping she would share a smile with him. But to no avail. Lily was still faithfully watching the road in front of her, not even glancing at Erwin. "You want some? Or do you have something you want to eat for breakfast?"
Before she could answer, the ringing of Lily's cell phone broke the silence between them.
"I'll take the call first."
And it turned out to be a video call from Cheryl. Suddenly she felt very guilty. Last night, due to exhaustion, Lily had forgotten to tell her tha
Lily used to hate hospitals. To her, the building was full of old age. Smelly. It was decrepit and creepy. I don't know why it's always stuck in her mind until now. But when her father was in one of the wards, her fear disappeared. Just like now.She was already in the room where she had visited last night. Sitting and peeling apples for her father. Her mother frowned at the news Lily had brought earlier. Having just opened the door to the infirmary, the shoulder-length haired woman was already bombarded with questions about her meeting with Erwin.Lily wanted to put on an annoyed face but couldn't. She just smiled a little and explained about her mother's breakfast initiative. The result? Her mother lectured her at length. She said that Lily was incapable of gratitude. She also blamed herself if Erwin suddenly withdrew as a prospective son-in-law."Mom, feelings can't be forced. After all, I'm the one doing it. I hope you understand."Nita just snorted i
James Adam:I hate to say this. I take off for Pontianak this afternoon. I'll be there for three days. As soon as I land, I'll call you. Don't sleep yet. Seriously, I miss you. Later when I take off from there to Jakarta, I want lemon tea. Lately I can't fall asleep well, one of them is because of you. I'm afraid you won't come home again.The corners of Lily's lips pulled up. She fixed her sitting position so that the little girl beside her could sleep comfortably. When she met herself at the door of the arrivals terminal, there was nothing Lily wanted as much as the desire to hug Cheryl. The child had picked her up there, along with Ahmad. With a half-sullen face the child complained"Papa went with Uncle Denny. In a hurry. He said he was in the office. I'm upset. Even though I promised to pick up Mommy.""I'd be very happy if Cheryl picked me up. Papa doesn't want to work or play. Cheryl has to understand."The beautiful face slowl
Lily brought a pile of fertilizer to Didi who was waiting in the corner of the area where the mustard seedlings were being sown. It had been two days since she had arrived at her house, Lily had kept herself busy here. Perhaps, this area would become her favorite place to spend time. Ever since she found out Erwin's Civic was in the garage, Lily had stayed out of the way. She was indifferent to his arrival.Meanwhile, in the living room, Erwin was greeted by Nita's friendly smile. Rianto, who sat reading an old newspaper, greeted him warmly. Like an old friend."How's Erwin, business going well?" Rianto made small talk for a moment.Erwin gave a sweet smile with a hint of pride. "Last week was the deal. Finally, after tough negotiations, the big boss wanted to realize it.""What project if I may know?""Franchise of the famous coffee cafe, sir. The problem is that the owner doesn't want the design of the cafe to be modified. It was very difficult t
"James, is this serious?" asked Lily incredulously. Her eyes darted back and forth over the list James had just handed her. "Why isn't it serious?" The beautiful-looking woman wearing a peach blouse groaned in frustration. Not once or twice had James changed his wishes on the to do list in his hand. The list would be used as a reference for the wedding that was less than a month away. Starting from; hall rental in one of the famous hotels in Jakarta, invitations that will be printed as many as 1000 sheets, catering costs that are not playing games, kebaya selection and makeup that makes Lily glare in disbelief, as well as party decorations that make her already breathe. 
BALI The man frowns. The wedding invitation the receptionist had just given him was enough to make him tingle, but he would still tell his employer. There was no way he could hide this invitation from her."Keana," Andri called out loudly as he entered the long-haired woman's apartment unit."What the hell, you're screaming incoherently!"Keana, who was putting on her eyelashes, felt suddenly distracted. She felt like throwing her assistant with the boots next to her. It took a lot of concentration to put on those lashes and Andri succeeded in distracting her."I have a surprise for you."Andri grinned innocently. Handing the invitation to the woman. Keana snorted in displeasure but she read it anyway. She read the wedding invitation that came to her for a long time."When will it arrive?" She was still flipping through the ivory-colored invitat
Lily is tired? She must be.However, her heart was happy because in addition to the wedding party that she had once dreamed of, it was perfectly realized by her husband. Even her wishes regarding the bridal room. Although she had protested, Lily was able to get her husband to comply. There was no bridal suite in the place where she spent her first night after becoming husband and wife. Even though the hotel had offered the most luxurious package to Lily, she refused. James actually didn't understand Lily's way of thinking. Wouldn't she be amazed to see how beautifully the bridal suite was decorated?James was eager to ask, but a smile and a sad look appeared on Lily's beautiful face. He did not want to ask further. Maybe later, when she was in a better mood, he would ask her about it."Tired?" asked James when he entered the room.He glanced at his wife who w
"Where's Lily, James?" It was James' turn to be puzzled by such a question. Since leaving the room he had chosen to tidy up the files in his study first and then head to the dining room. Usually his wife, Sari, was preparing breakfast. But this morning, she wasn't there. Plus his mother's question just now. "Probably in Cheryl's room." That was all James could answer. "Morning, Grandma. Morning, Papa." Cheryl, cheerfully approached her father as well as her grandmother. Giving a good morning kiss befor
The man was still frozen in front of the steering wheel. There was a moment of hesitation before he decided to actually get out and walk towards the place where James Adam's fare wall party was being held. Today, his coworker resigned. He chose to continue the business he had started rather than struggle under the command of someone else. There was a mountain of curiosity in the man's heart. Especially the words that had been bothering him since this morning. "I'm definitely missing Mr. James at work."He said honestly. His coworker this time was very dedicated to work."Mr. Levi could have. I had intended to resign a long time ago but the timing always clashed. It just so happens that my wife is spoiled beyond belief, asking to be accompanied at home.""Pregnant women have different hormones, boss," said Denny, James Adam's assistant. "Ms. Lily is so independent when she's spoiled, it's really funny.""Don't imagine someone's wife. Date someone else!"
