Now, with great enthusiasm, Cassandra sang along to the music, oblivious to the fact that the crowd was paying attention to her. One of the spectators even asked Cassandra to come up on stage and share her golden voice to entertain them that night.Initially, Cassandra refused, but the insistence and encouragement from the other spectators eventually persuaded her. Half-conscious, Cassandra began to choose a song to sing that night.After finding the right pitch, Cassandra sang a song by a famous Indonesian band. As she started singing, the entire audience followed Cassandra, enjoying the beauty of her voice.Including Alexander, who was mesmerized and captivated by Cassandra's talent. Shortly after Cassandra finished singing, the band manager approached her, offering a collaboration to entertain the guests on the beach.The payment offered was quite high for an impromptu singer like her. "So, what do you think, Miss? We'll pay you two million for one night to entertain the guests her

Cesilia accidentally overheard Maxime talking to someone on the phone. She was relieved to hear that Maxime would have to return to Jakarta tomorrow morning, which meant she could go through the photoshoot without being directly monitored by him.As a result, Cesilia was entrusted to Maxime's assistant while he continued his tasks in Bali. Maxime explained that leaving Cesilia behind was difficult, but work demanded him to return to Jakarta earlier than scheduled due to an internal issue in the company. As the acting director, he needed to resolve the problem immediately.Maxime was visibly unhappy because the problem at his office arose at an inconvenient time, right when he was enjoying a vacation with Cesilia. Thus, Cesilia's photoshoot was set for 9:00 AM, allowing her to meet with Alexander before work started. On the other hand, Maxime had to leave before sunrise, and he had already booked a flight back to Jakarta.Before leaving, Maxime warned Cesilia not to get too close to Al

Casandra, still behind the bedroom door, shook her head in disbelief at Cesilia's behavior. Cesilia acted as if Alexander didn't understand her position, while she was the one playing with fire by being involved with another man and readily disregarding Alexander, who truly loved her.Alexander had been patient and tried everything to wait for her for four years, just to accommodate Cesilia's desire to pursue her career. But when the time came, Cesilia betrayed her promise and asked for another two years. Of course, Alexander was disappointed. Anyone would have felt the same and done the same in expressing their disappointment."I wonder what makes Sir love Madam Cesilia so much? Even though she's already cheating on him like that. I wonder what would happen if Sir found out that Madam has another boyfriend?" Casandra scratched her head, even though it wasn't itchy.Upon reflection, she was tempted to tell Alexander that she saw Cesilia kissing another man last night. But Casandra did

Inviting Casandra for a stroll turned out to be like taking a kindergarten child on a tour of the beach. She couldn't stay still and kept running here and there. Chasing the waves, Alexander watched from a distance. This time, he didn't object to anything Casandra did. He understood that she was used to a simple life in the village and couldn't have had a vacation like this before.So, he sat at a small restaurant by the beach after having breakfast. Alexander let Casandra play there before they returned to the hotel, and she was thrilled to be released without supervision. She enjoyed the white sandy expanse, the vast sea, and frolicking with the waves. Casandra collected seashells washed ashore, shamelessly picking up some corals and placing them on the table before Alexander.She said innocently, "Sir, please take care of these. Someone will collect them later. I'm tired of picking them up." Alexander just nodded, folding his hands in front of his chest, leaning back in a wooden ch

"So, Cas? Your employer here has allowed you to go with me. Now, it's your turn to answer my invitation from earlier," Kevin shifted his position, facing Casandra."Allowed? Are you sure my employer has allowed you to take me?" Casandra double-checked, as she clearly heard Alexander only asking Kevin to inquire directly, not granting him permission to take her anywhere."Yes, your employer simply asked me to ask you whether you want to go with me or not. That means if you want to, your employer allows you to go with me," Kevin insisted."But unfortunately, I don't permit you to take Casandra on a speedboat ride, even if she wants to go with you," Alexander interrupted before Kevin could become even more confident in his thoughts.How audacious of him to fabricate a story, while Alexander was still sitting right in front of them. What if Alexander had left them both alone earlier? Casandra would have been easily deceived by a mischievous young man like Kevin."So, sir, you don't allow

Cesilia, from where she stood, watched as Casandra and Alexander walked along the beach, holding hands. Whether Alexander was aware or not, he hadn't let go of Casandra's hand since their argument with Kevin just now.They walked, letting their feet be caressed by the waves, and Cesilia noticed all of this while she was touching up her makeup."Sir, isn't that Madam?" Casandra asked."Yes, she might be taking a break," Alexander replied."What if we go over to her?" Casandra suggested.Alexander shook his head. "Let's not disturb someone who's working. Do you want her to scold us in public? You know Cesilia's temperament; sometimes, she can't control her emotions even in public." He warned Casandra to prevent her from getting scolded by Cesilia. He didn't want to meet his wife just yet, and he was afraid that any conversation might lead to a long argument. That's what he was avoiding."Well, yes, but Madam isn't that fierce. As far as I know, she's not like that," Casandra replied."A

"Can you just follow what I want for once?""What do you mean, Sir?" Casandra asked, although she continued to follow Alexander as he dragged her away.Casandra wanted to halt Alexander's steps, but he seemed completely indifferent. Despite her efforts to hold her ground, Alexander kept dragging her away to avoid Cesilia, who was getting closer to them."Wait! Can't you listen to me?" Cesilia finally managed to catch up and grab Alexander's shirt. With great reluctance, Alexander stopped and turned to face Cesilia."I didn't see you.""You didn't see me? Are you sure?" Cesilia squinted her eyes. "I've been calling you, Lex. I shouted until my voice was gone, and everyone on the beach was stunned to see me running and calling your name. We were so close, but why did you say you didn't hear at all? Just say that you don't want to meet me, right? Just because you have Casandra now. It's only been a few days since you got married, but you can't even acknowledge my presence. What will happ

Casandra sighed, just waiting to see what surprise Meri would give her and Alexander."Sir, it's your phone." Casandra handed the phone back to Alexander.The man turned and took the phone. "What did Mama say?"Casandra shrugged. "Madam said that tonight we'll have dinner here. She'll order the food for us.""That's unusual." Alexander put the phone in his trouser pocket. "Usually, Mama doesn't like to eat outside food much. She says it's not healthy.""I don't know either, Sir. But Madam assured me that you'll like the food.""Alright, then."Alexander ended the conversation, leaving Casandra to figure out what to make for them."Oh, by the way, Sir." Taking a position beside Alexander. "Aren't you going to eat the ice cream? You're just letting it melt like that." She pointed to the ice cream in Alexander's hand. It seemed a shame to see such delicious ice cream left to melt."I didn't let it melt. I might have been daydreaming earlier, so I forgot to eat it.""Now, eat it, please.
