However, most of Olive's heart is filled with guilt. It's as if Thomas's eyes are everywhere, then saying, "I'm sick because of you. Take responsibility!"
Olive's hair stands on end as she starts her motorcycle. The usual parking area she visits is bustling with other workers getting ready to leave. There's no shortage of casual conversations about things Olive doesn't quite understand. But why does she feel like Thomas is nearby? Staring at her sharply, his mouth ready to spew his anger and be stern with her.
It makes Olive remember that Thomas is sick today because of her. If only she hadn't played around with coffee and salt, she wouldn't be feeling like this, right?
"Forget it! Who cares? Whose fault is it for being annoying?" Olive chooses to put on her jacket and helmet. Making sure nothing is left behind, the rearview mirror is also adjusted to her preferred angle. Speaking of rearview mirrors, Olive finds them indispensable. She can see other drivers wit

What did Olive say about wanting to visit Thomas? It's bound to be a problem!Sure enough, since she arrived, Thomas has been very sarcastic towards her. Fortunately, Olive can categorize this as her own kind of luck. Her coworkers have all gone home; she didn't encounter a single one there. Only their traces remain in the form of a fruit basket and a few small bags of food."Mr... Are you feeling much better?" Olive asked, mustering her courage. She needs to see Thomas's face first before asking. Even though he's lying in front of her with a scowl, coldness, rudeness, sarcasm, and sternness, Olive can't just stand there doing nothing, right? It's pointless to be in Thomas's hospital room but remain silent like this."What do you think?" Thomas asks while glancing at Olive standing at the end of his bed. "What are you doing there? Did you change your status to a nurse in this hospital?""No, Mr. Thomas," Olive said, looking down."Sit here." Thomas

For the first time, Olive hugged her bolster tightly. Twice, she adjusted her pillow slightly further back on the bed. The third time, Olive covered herself with a blanket! She had done these movements repeatedly all night as she struggled to fall asleep. Even more absurdly, she counted sheep and flying fish in her mind to make herself tired enough to fall asleep.Unfortunately, all her efforts seemed in vain. Instead of getting tired and drowsy, she felt even more awake, and her eyes were wide open. Just when she wanted to watch a replay of a BTS concert from several countries."Argh!!"She threw off her blanket because she couldn't breathe under it. Whose idea was it to use a blanket while sleeping with a fan on? She glanced at the wall clock, and it was already 1 AM. Since she decided to sleep at 10 PM, she hadn't closed her eyes at all. Wasn't anyone going to take her to dreamland?After returning from the hospital, her mother had left her a pack of f

"No, really, Olive. My mother used to say that saying a prayer makes any meal taste good. No matter how simple the dishes are, or even if it's just plain rice because there's no money for side dishes, it still tastes good."Olive fell silent."I've experienced tough times when I couldn't afford meat," Thomas reminisced about his early days in Jakarta. His situation back then was quite sad. His salary was meager, but he had to support himself here and cover his father's medical expenses back in the village. He also had to work extra to save money for his marriage with... oh, why did he have to remember that woman again?Get a grip, Thomas! That woman's life is different from yours now!"I didn't start in my current position, Liv. I had to work my way up. That's why yesterday I gave you advice, right? You're good, but you need to adapt to the CBD branch first to understand how the CBD head teller works. Are you starting to understand what I meant?"O

Marta, with her wide smile, knocked on the door of her crush's office. But don't get it wrong, her heart was waving the flag of defeat, even though she wouldn't admit it. She hadn't lost, not really. She just kept facing rejection. It happened so often that she had memorized that Thomas's smile was mostly a facade. Thomas only ate lunch with Marta when there were other colleagues around.Don't expect her to get a moment alone with Thomas. Oh, except for that one night when he gave her a ride because Marta didn't have her own vehicle. That was a rare exception. If only Thomas would talk more. But no, he remained as silent as a rock, answering Marta's questions briefly. The rest of the conversation was about preparations for the upcoming gathering, including the readiness of the apartment complex that had just been delivered today. Since the theme for this year's event was "princess" and elegant evening gowns, some people rented apartments to match. Others just rented the acces

This time, Olive had lunch at the mall. Dela wanted fried chicken with a burger and fries, even though Olive had recently had the same meal with Riana and Darius. Why repeat it? But seeing Dela's hopeful expression, Olive couldn't refuse. So here she was, sitting and enjoying her chicken.No need to ask how Dela was with her food. She devoured it as if she hadn't eaten for days. But that was alright. Today, the counter was bustling. Many customers were opening accounts, and some were making significant deposits."Olive, you're renting a costume, right?" Dela asked, wiping sauce from the corner of her mouth. "I'm just going to rent one. It's easier since I don't have a costume. Besides, the rental place that Ms. Marta uses is well-known for events like ours. We've been using them year after year.""I see, well, it's affordable for you," Olive chuckled.Dela sighed. "You're so thrifty."Olive just laughed. It might be affordable for them, but it was

Dela just couldn't wrap her head around what had just happened. Calm down, there was no earthquake, tsunami, or mall collapse under their feet. But something even more mind-boggling had occurred in the western part of Senayan. Dela couldn't have misread the message, and she definitely couldn't ignore Olive's suddenly red face. Not embarrassment; Olive was furious, no doubt.Just ordering food made her snappy with the server. Even though the server was innocent, Dela knew that. Saying thank you after the order was completed, Olive still couldn't act normal. Was the order from her boss, in this case, clearly Mr. Thomas, so infuriating to Olive? After all, it was nice to receive two million rupiahs for free.But..."Olive," Dela finally called out after successfully catching up to Olive, who was practically as wide as a soccer field away from the office as quickly as possible. Even from behind, you could see smoke rising from Olive's body. In an anime, that's a sig

After sending the message to Olive, Thomas just had to wait, right? A smile refused to leave his face as if he had received an annual bonus several times over. It had been a while since Thomas had felt like this. The kind of feeling where it was enjoyable to wait and go through the day. In his eyes, all he saw was Olive, angry, snappy, and with a flushed face from frustration.That had become an exciting moment in his life now.Whose fault was it that this girl had caught his attention? So, in his own way, Thomas would make sure Olive couldn't get away, let alone escape from him. He glanced at his watch; it had been ten minutes since his last message. If the girl didn't show up at his office door within the next five minutes, he thought he might need to disturb her with a call. But it seemed that he wouldn't have to do that.What he had been waiting for finally arrived. It was a good thing that he was hungry too. He could ask her to join him for a meal, even tho

Thomas grumbled in annoyance at Olive's behavior earlier. Why did she bring Marta into this? What does Marta have to do with anything? Plus, the woman looked amused, even though Thomas had no intention of doing anything. Especially not what Olive suggested. There's no way he would approach Marta, let alone give her a gift.Oh, God! This is all because of Olive's outrageous provocation."Is it true that you want to give me a gift?" Marta asks, batting her eyelashes.If it weren't for his determination to remain patient and sane, Thomas would have already asked her to leave his office. Especially when her eyes were filled with hope and her lips curled into a shy smile. Thomas wasn't oblivious to what Marta was doing to him. Somehow, she refused to give up, even though Thomas had never responded to her advances.He had only been courteous."Uh... not really a gift, Marta," Thomas grimaces. "I mean, Olive earlier, since she's busy at the counter and ca
