But before Olive decided on her morning meal, she spoke. "Were you surprised by Mom's job?"
Thomas didn't know how to respond to a question like that.
"I'm sure you were surprised. Almost all of my friends who have been to my house and know Mom's habits are shocked by her line of work. But I'm not ashamed, Mister. For me, whatever Mom does, it's truly for me and our life."
Thomas chose to stay silent because it seemed like the previous question would eventually answer all the questions in his mind. He also needed to know Olive's background, right? No, he wasn't looking for someone perfect to be his life partner. His own life wasn't perfect either. He had shed many tears to get to this point.
He would also share his own story, about who he was before becoming Thomas Adam, the branch manager of SAVEFUND in Senayan, with Olive soon. But for now, if Thomas heard about Olive's side first, that was fine.
"We've been through a tough life. Yeah, it was rea

Dela casually strolled into Thomas' office. For her, Olive was definitely in the wrong. Anything related to Olive would be fair game for Dela to tackle. After all, here in Senayan, Olive only had Yossie, right? Ayana joined the team three months later, and there were rumors that Ayana was thinking about resigning. Well, if Ayana did resign, that would be great. It would give Dela more time to do as she pleased and blame Olive for everything. Corner Olive and make sure the girl had no friends.Then... resign on her own. Oh, if it came to that, she was sure she would be asked to replace Olive. Her goal would be achieved! She was ecstatic thinking about her wicked plan. That's why, as she climbed the stairs to Thomas' office, she grinned slyly.Marta mentioned that Olive's performance wasn't all that great either. Why did Mr. Matthew give her a chance, anyway? He was the one who directly intervened, not Thomas or Marta. Impressive, right? What did Olive really have, anywa

"What I'm questioning, Dela," Marta sighed softly, "is that you deliberately made a wrong transaction, tricking Olive and me as well. If a teller makes a mistake, it affects everything.""Why am I the only one being blamed? Why not Olive?""Even though it's clear you did it on purpose?" Thomas couldn't take it anymore. "You've seen the CCTV footage yourself. You swapped the transactions of these two customers. The system shows the right balance, but the customers don't match, Dela."Dela clenched the edge of her skirt roughly."This slip you corrected is evidence that you intentionally swapped their transactions. Can you explain why?"No one spoke among them."I've been studying everything about this case with Mr. Thomas since yesterday. No, I'm not taking anyone's side here. Even though you're close to me, if you do things like that, I won't defend you.""No, ma'am. I'm not like that. It was Olive who didn't carefully approve my post

"Seriously, you're insane!" Riana exclaimed with excessive excitement. They were having their video call routine after 9 PM. It had become their little tradition, and it turned out to be quite enjoyable for the four of them.This time, Olive dominated the conversation. "That's why you shouldn't mess with me. You know I'm fierce. If you poke me, I'll scratch you!""Ouch! I'd love to be scratched by a fierce cat like Olive," Darius joked."Shh! Quiet!" Riana quickly interrupted."Ugh! You've been yelling, and I haven't scolded you. Why did you tease Olive, and I got sprayed?""Come on, think about it. Olive is already taken. You still tease her. It won't work!"Yossie finally burst into laughter because she found Riana's honesty so funny. "I wonder what it's like if Riana and Darius are dating.""Ew!""Never!"They chorused together."If you want to shout like that, just go to a field, not here! Your voices are like

Kalina on the other end chuckled. "Oh... I want to see your face. Are you getting more handsome or not? Meeting Olive every day, if you're not getting more handsome, it's not good.""What's the influence, Ma?" But Thomas responded to his mother's words with laughter."Don't forget the event this week, Tom." Kalina reminded him. "You have to come with Olive. I want to show her off.""Ma," Thomas exclaimed in frustration. "I can't just invite Olive without permission.""Right after Fajr prayer, I said many prayers. I'm sure I have been given permission. That's why you should say it correctly. Or just give your phone to Olive's mother. Let me talk to her.""Okay, Ma, we'll see you soon.""Be careful if you don't come. I can't wait to show Olive off to the entire village. Anyway, now the most handsome young man in the whole district of Bogor has a future wife."Actually, his mother's enthusiasm was not at all wrong. But Thomas's relations

Anyway, Olive can't help but pout all day. Not in front of customers, though. That's a different story. But when it comes to what happened this morning, Olive will definitely be grumbling again. But, God, please stop all this redness on her face! Why does it keep appearing? Why do Thomas's words keep replaying in her head like a broken record?Every time she's about to manually count the money given by Yossie, Thomas's whispers echo again. Or when Dela hands over slips for her to check. But when it comes to Dela, Olive's concentration is at a thousand percent! She won't let Dela breathe easy, let alone see a smile on her face. Ew! Olive won't allow that to happen!Her eyes carefully observe every detail of Dela's corrections. "Um... like this," Olive hands the slip back to Dela, who's pouting and giving Olive a sardonic look. If gouging out those eyes were allowed, Olive would have done it since the first time Dela caused trouble. But Olive isn't that heartless. Respon

"Just say you're going to date," Dela mutters disapprovingly. Her words are quiet, but because it's quiet and they're close to each other, Olive can hear clearly. Is Olive angry? Not at all. She just responds with equally surprising words. This time, she won't let Dela win.Whether in words, actions, or even making mistakes in their work that could drag her down. She won't allow it!"If that's what it is, then what's wrong with it?" Olive asks with a mischievous glance. "Or do you want to be like me? Have the boss as your boyfriend?" Her hand rests on the counter right in front of Dela. Her eyes stare at Dela full of mockery.Dela tries to ignore Olive."If you want to be like me," she plays with the end of her bangs, glancing mischievously at Dela, who still refuses to look at her. "First, fix your heart. Kind-hearted girls will definitely find a prince who is much kinder and also handsome."Dela's retort is left behind as Olive walks away from th

Has Olive's heart finally settled down? Nope, not yet!After being utterly surprised by Thomas's actions – well, Olive can't entirely blame him, can she? They both stooped down together to pick up the farthest sheet of paper, and then an incident occurred that Olive can't forget until now.Olive wonders if there's a CCTV camera in Thomas's office. If there is, will they review it like during internal audits? What will her face look like? Purple? Red? Green? Oh God! Why does Olive's memorable moment have to be like this?How could she forget that Thomas's face was so close to hers? Not to mention, Olive can still feel the accidental meeting of their lips? It's indescribable. Words can't capture it. Her heart felt like it was beating loudly, like it wanted to fight someone, but who? And what's even more absurd is that she bumped into the edge of a table! Yes, dear readers! This is a concoction of embarrassment, extreme embarrassment compounded by her squared

"But I don't want it with Miss here." Nathan chuckled. "I want Olive to help me today.""Well... but the procedure is like this, sir," Olive tried to explain. "Besides, I'm here."Nathan seemed to consider something. "Can I meet Marta?""Unfortunately, Ms. Marta isn't in today, sir," Dela quickly interjected. "May I assist you with something?""So it seems." Nathan reluctantly gave in. He took out some documents and other identification for fund transfers and substantial cash deposits. He handed several slips that he had prepared to Dela for verification."Is everything here, sir?" Dela asked as she examined eight different slips she was going to check and input."Yes. Don't make any mistakes, Miss. I don't have time to fix minor errors.""Understood, sir." Dela nodded. She was slightly annoyed by Nathan's previous comment. Just because he was a priority customer? But when she accessed the customer's data, her eyes widened. She also f
