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

"Ready?" Thomas asked, double-checking one last time. Beside him, Olive sat casually in an oversized sweater paired with jeans and turquoise sneakers. Everything Olive wore this morning was just too cute to miss, and Thomas couldn't tear his eyes away from her since earlier. Even though Seira, who was occasionally clearing her throat, gave him a warning. Well, what more can be said? Thomas was simply too captivated."Ready," Olive replied, tidying her hair a bit. She then rolled down Thomas's car window, waving to her mother standing by the fence. "I'm heading out, Mom.""Take care, okay," Seira smiled faintly. "Tell Thomas to stay focused while driving."Thomas certainly heard Seira's words. He just grinned. "Don't worry, Mom, Olive will be safe with me.""Once you're at your mother's place, call immediately. I'll keep an eye from here, you know. I know how long the drive from Senayan to Bogor takes, especially in the morning. The traffic regulations hav

"'Mr. Thomas' is just an excuse, right, Mom?" Olive asked, leaving Thomas flabbergasted."No," Seira shook her head quickly. "Mr. Thomas is honest."It felt good to hear Seira talk like that."Besides, Liv, if we're just getting acquainted, why are you making such a fuss? What's the big deal?"Olive pouted. She seemed reluctant to express what was on her mind."From our phone conversation earlier, Mr. Thomas's mother seems nice. You won't be eaten alive.""Mami, seriously!""Besides, if after meeting, she gets along with you, and the guy's side is ready, then Mom should accept it. The key question is simple: is your boyfriend ready to propose to you if asked to?""Ready," Thomas interjected quickly."Mom!""See?" Seira laughed. "Mom gives you thirty minutes to chat. After that, you can go home, Mr. Thomas. Not that we're kicking you out. You both must be tired, right? You're going to Bogor tomorrow morning, aren't

"Nah, here's my place," Thomas said, pulling the gear lever. He turned off the car engine. "Thank God we made it."Olive unbuckled her seatbelt. At the same time, Thomas briefly held Olive's arm."Let me open the door for you.""Oh, no!" Olive shook her head firmly. Her grin was wide. "I don't want to! I don't want to be 'Ba—'" Olive winced. "Okay, Bae. I don't want you to ‘Sir’ me again. Nope! Dangerous!""Am I a virus or something? Dangerous?" Thomas laughed. Especially seeing Olive's behavior, who shot out of the car without hesitation.Meanwhile, Olive felt like covering her face with anything. But how could she? Why did she have to deal with a guy like Thomas?She couldn't forget when they ordered breakfast. Thomas didn't want to use the drive-thru service, for some reason. Even though it was the easiest, right? Just point at what you want to order without having to get out of the car. When asked, he casually said, "Wh

Olive managed to laugh. "Your words! Like a poet!""Oh, seriously. If you're not moved to have a partner but immediately agree that I can approach you, what do you call it if not God's hand at play?""Talking to you takes a lot of vocabulary to turn the situation around," Olive still clung to her laughter. "Come on, it's almost noon. We haven't had breakfast, geez."Thomas hurriedly got into the car. What Olive said was true. The slower they moved, the more likely they would get stuck for a long time when passing through the Puncak area, as regulations might be enforced by then."Will you feed me?" Thomas asked as soon as he saw Olive starting to unwrap their orders."Sure," Olive replied quickly. "The waffle, right?""Don't pour too much syrup. My life is sweet enough because of you."Olive pouted. "Don't talk nonsense." She quickly cut a piece of toast. "Just eat.""It's too big, Liv. You're trying to kill me with this."
