Asleena shouldn't have taken the reaction of her heart palpitations too seriously.Too bad, this is really annoying. When Benny instead tightened his grip on Asleena's waist when Halmey approached them, Asleena couldn't say anything at all.Halmey placed two drinks on the table at the same time sliding the tins of biscuits over to Benny. As if inviting Benny to eat the food."Wow, it looks like your conversation is very serious. Is there a problem?" asked Halmey who looked curious.Actually Asleena didn't really care about Halmey's odd gesture right now. But it was really awkward for him to realize how far apart he and Benny were.'Why does Benny always have to hold my waist like this?' thought Asleena."No problem whatsoever, Mrs. Halmey. It's just that... I was discussing something with Asleena," Benny replied, glancing at Asleena at the end of his sentence.At that moment Asleena realized that there was an implied code from Benny's gaze. But Asleena couldn't process what code the m
Are you okay.A text message from Benny bothered Asleena quite a bit. Benny's attitude a few hours ago, when he said that Halmey was listening to their conversation, echoed all night.Why did Halmey peek into their conversation? Remembering before Asleena was finally forced to see Benny, Halmey was pushing too hard. It was as if something Halmey wanted was forcing Asleena.Asleena hasn't replied to the message, to be precise, she won't respond. Asleena is still irritated because of Benny's arrival which is the reason Halmey scolds her.At the study table in Halmey's room, Asleena had been daydreaming for an hour. Just tapping the pen on the table. While in front of him, there was a laptop that Roger had just sent using a package. Even a piece of paper containing Roger's message is still stored.'Dear Miss Asleena, here is your work laptop from company. Use it wisely. All work files and other things that have been supervised by Mr. Joshua stored neatly in the laptop. Please take care.'
"Good morning, Miss Asleena."Asleena took a deep breath and rolled her eyes in exasperation. It was only six o'clock in the morning, but Benny's figure was already in the living room of his house. Even though Benny didn't tell Asleena at all that he was going to pick her up."Why are you here?" Asleena was not interested in answering Benny's greeting. His tone was curt.Benny frowned with a slight grin. With his back leaning against the back of the sofa, Benny folded his arms in front of his chest."Ah, I didn't get any greetings back," said Benny showing a look of fake horror on Asleena.From Asleena's side, Halmey suddenly appeared. Stepping hastily with a slightly awkward smile because he had heard Benny's words."Hey, Asleena, don't be so snappy with Benny!" Halmey hissed at Asleena. Her eyes widened in panic.Asleena frowned as well as looked at Halmey in surprise. His left shoulder was slightly gripped by Halmey, making him suddenly startled."Auntie..." Asleena spoke softly whi
"Welcome to Mr. Joshua's office, Miss Asleena."Asleena was stunned to witness the view of her father's office that she had not known about. The size was so large, exceeding the size of the living room and the bedroom of the poor family's house combined. There were glass windows that stretched wide and wide so Asleena could view the city to her heart's content. There were two floors, but the second was only small and filled with wide bookshelves against the walls.Asleena walked slowly while looking around. I was so amazed, Asleena's body almost swayed several times."Is it true that this was father's office?" Asleena asked Roger.Roger nodded his head, he just stood watching Asleena's behavior that was almost unsteady earlier."That's right, Miss Asleena," Roger answered between his faint smiles—almost laughing at Asleena. "This is Mr. Joshua's office. Has Mr. Joshua never told Miss Asleena?"Asleena stopped looking around the room and turned her eyes to Roger. "No, Roger. That's why
The smell of hospital medicine was the first thing that greeted Aslena's nose. Slowly his eyelids opened, looking faintly at the ceiling of the room. It took Aslena a few seconds to adapt to the light in the room until she saw two faces above her waiting for her to open her eyes.As Aslena's vision cleared, the two faces above her — a woman and a man — revealed relief. Aslena only frowned as she tried to neutralize the dizziness and adapt to the overwhelming medicinal smell in the room."Aslena. Thank God..." A voice from one of the two came. Her face didn't look familiar to Aslena. "You woke up too at last. I was really worried about you."Asleena was still silent. Her mouth was shut to say any sentence. In her mind, she was guessing who these two people were."Call the doctor! Quick, call the doctor!" The woman on the left side of Aslena's bed pressed seriously.Then, the man on the right side of Aslena's bed immediately complied with her request. Aslena still didn't know who the tw
The CEO of the well-known property company Henderson Group is standing in front of the conference room. Benny Adam Anderson was beside a large screen displaying a layout of a hill area estate plan while explaining their next project to the board of directors and shareholders."This is a residential area near the hill that is being intensively developed, Your Honors." Benny explained formally with firm gestures. "As can be seen here. This housing will be in a hilly landscape and has views of the beach which gives the sensation of being at a resort.""The sensation of being at the resort?" Benjamin, his grandfather and chairman of the Henderson Group, asked."That's right, Mr. Benjamin," answered Benny with conviction. "We always see housing that looks just like that. Even if there is a house in the hills with views of the coast as far as the eye can see, there is only one house. Even that is only owned by rich celebrities and conglomerates.""Indirectly, you said that you want people f
Aslena really felt that the man before her had no conscience.For a moment, Aslena was silent. He didn't expect to just listen to condescending words instead of sympathizing with the deceased. Aslena thought this strange man was really strange."How can you say a sentence like that?" asked Aslena with a sarcastic laugh.A few steps in front of Aslena, Benny didn't look the least bit guilty. With an unconcerned expression while rolling up his shirt sleeves again, Benny's heavy sigh was heard."If you can't accept what I'm saying, I don't care. After all, I would still want to take responsibility for an accident caused by one of my subordinates." Benny reached out, asking George for papers.George gave Benny the paper from inside the special document envelope. Casually, Benny read the contents of the paper."This is a paper history of payments totaling the cost of all treatment. I have already paid for your parents' surgery, your hospitalization, and the funeral payment... wait." Benny
Aslena really felt that the man before her had no conscience.For a moment, Aslena was silent. He didn't expect to just listen to condescending words instead of sympathizing with the deceased. Aslena thought this strange man was really strange."How can you say a sentence like that?" asked Aslena with a sarcastic laugh."Why did grandfather have to ask me to do such a ridiculous thing?" Benny protested after Benjamin told him something he didn't expect. When he was still busy signing a cooperation proposal with the Hudge Group real estate company, Benjamin asked him to find a date."What do you think is ridiculous?" Benjamin looked at Benny through probing eyes. "The only ridiculous thing is you haven't had a date in years. Wouldn't you like to take your time a bit?"Benny just shook his head briefly while laughing at Benjamin's question. He is still busy reading documents regarding the planning of the Anderson Group's largest home-hills development project."It's impossible, Grandpa.
