Thomas parked his car exactly in the available slot. Hasan furrowed his brow in confusion when he saw the boss's car parked there again.
"Good morning, sir," Hasan greeted as soon as Thomas got out of the car, but his steps hurried to open the door on the side.
"Oh, good morning, Hasan. Sorry. Open the door for the Missus first."
Hasan was taken aback. Thomas, who used to be rarely friendly, sometimes even had a half-hearted smile, had truly changed. According to the office gossip, his boss had fallen under the Olive Effect. A day without seeing her felt like centuries of separation. When they did meet, it was like a raging Reog performance. When he bowed down, it was only in front of Olive.
That was Thomas's version in October this year.
Actually, as far as Hasan knew during his time working at SAVEFUND Senayan, his boss rarely responded to women who approached him on a personal level. He behaved like a boss to his subordinates, nothing more.

No. That statement doesn't make Olive lose her focus. Personal matters are strictly off-limits at the counter. She's had enough warnings and lessons. Can't she remember that throughout her time working here? Besides, Thomas only gave her three months. Her relationship with Thomas at work remains strictly professional, although sometimes Thomas behaves oddly! The customer queue is long, requiring Olive to stay focused on each transaction slip, both from Dela and Yossie. Even though Dela is always under her watchful eye, she can't ignore Yossie either. She can't afford to be careless just because Yossie is her friend. If Yossie gets into trouble, she could get dragged into it too, right? "Miss Olive," Hasan called, knocking on the closed counter door. "Yes, sir?" "There's a delivery." Olive looked puzzled. "A delivery?" "Yes, Miss. I couldn't accept it because it's quite large and needs a place to put it." Olive's confusi

However, when Thomas descended from the fourth floor and approached Olive, who greeted him with a smile, nothing was amiss. Seriously, Olive could still joke about the bouquet he had given her earlier in the day. She said, "Your money is quite plentiful, huh? Wow... I won't hesitate to spend everything you have."Her smile was priceless to Thomas now. He knew that Olive hadn't had the chance to admire the bouquet properly since the SAVEFUND customers had been quite busy today. Olive had even taken her meals in turns with her coworkers. Their daily work routine remained unchanged. Thomas hadn't created any special situations for Olive just because he was her superior at the Senayan branch. As long as they were both bank employees..."Do you like the bouquet?" Thomas asked after ensuring that Olive had entered the car and was comfortably seated. He gazed at her beautiful face with an unwavering fascination. He also gently caressed her delicate cheek. Thomas knew that whe

He always forgot what he wanted to talk about, especially regarding their finances.Well... what can you do, right? The atmosphere was supportive, the soft bed was always ready to be torn apart, and Olive always managed to lure him into continuing their activities until his wife screamed his name at the end of their activities."Try opening the dashboard," Thomas instructed as he released their intertwined hands."Another hotel invitation, huh?" Olive was taken aback. "Oh, Bae, don't be ridiculous. My body still feels tired, you know. Can't you just do it once? I need to recharge. What if I get too tired and pass out? It's not funny, you know, Bae, if there's viral news about a wife passing out during her wedd—"Thomas wanted to pinch Olive's nose to cut off her breath entirely and then give her some extra breath right on her lips."Just open the dashboard," he said. If he continued to listen to Olive's nonsensical rambling, he would only bec

Marta had been a bit confused all day because of Thomas' rather strange request. Dela's performance from the beginning of her time at Senayan, along with her achievements and mistakes, was being assessed. It was noted for making year-end bonus evaluations. At SAVEFUND, all achievements and staff progress levels in terms of work were always appreciated, including the amount of the bonus received on December 25th each year."Anything else?" Thomas asked without taking off his glasses."No, Sir. Everything has been since Dela's internship year," Marta straightened her back slightly. "What's going on, Sir?""Oh," Thomas smiled faintly. "The branch in Bogor needs a replacement teller. Mr. Matthew requested someone senior to go there temporarily. Among Yossie and Dela, Dela is more senior, right?""Yes, that's true, Sir," Marta still didn't understand what Thomas was planning. As far as her knowledge went, being Thomas's subordinate and handling the administrat

"Why's the grilled chicken at the back of Plaza Senayan so good?" Olive asks, occasionally glancing behind her. She just finished her lunch. Although she only had half a portion of rice, she ordered two pieces of chicken. It's the same as being full, right?""I think it's because of the dining atmosphere, Liv," Yossie assumes. "Because when it's a bit crowded, and the rice is hot and freshly taken from the chicken marinating station, it's definitely delicious.""Yeah, you're right," Olive smiles faintly. "I felt so embarrassed meeting Mr. Matthew earlier.""Oh yeah, you were called to the meeting room, huh?"Olive nods without hesitation. "I got a really stern warning. Oh my God, I kept thinking about that wrong posting incident!""I've become more self-aware too.""Anyway, we need to keep improving ourselves and not easily give up when we make mistakes. Don't let it get us down. That was Mr. Matthew's advice."Having lunch with Yossi

"Couldn't sleep?" Thomas asks, looking puzzled. He thought Olive would have already fallen asleep in her room, especially after she had complained about being tired from work all day. When they returned, Thomas still had to finalize an important presentation for next week's meeting at the head office."Waiting for you," Olive responds with a pout. "Took forever."Thomas smiles faintly. "I'm sorry." He then rubs Olive's head with a fair amount of guilt. He should have been able to finish it at the office, but unfortunately, he was bombarded with requests from the marketing team all day. If everything gets approved, it won't just be the marketing team getting a bonus, but him too.So was it all in vain? No, definitely not! The bonuses he regularly receives from SAVEFUND because of his approved credit requests are not insignificant. Plus, for year-end bonus calculations, all assessments, including target achievement, are used as a basis to determine the amount of t

"But your wife is the same person, duh!" Olive protests halfheartedly."Well, what I mean is, back then, I had to restrain myself a lot, you know, not to cross any boundaries. Do you think your mom threats weren't scary? I was a bit mentally down because Mrs. Seira?"Olive blinks. "Really?""Both of you really put me in a bind. That's why I had to take action quickly. Luckily, God was kind enough to smooth everything out."Olive snorts, but her smile starts to show. Especially when Thomas pulls her into a hug again."Don't get upset about work stuff anymore," Thomas whispers while rubbing Olive's shoulder. "In my opinion, you're amazing for not getting provoked. Although I'm sure you would've acted without thinking first.""It's all because of you," Olive says, adjusting her position so she's half on top of Thomas. She loves it when her ear can hear Thomas's heartbeat there."Why me?""If I don't remember that I'm the wife of M

"Are you... still feeling sad, Na?" Koni asks the woman sitting beside her. Since getting into the carpool, she's kept her eyes closed. Usually, she'd chat or fix her hair to look beautiful before work. But for the past few days, Koni has noticed that Dena is quieter than usual.The recent question prompts her to open her eyes halfway. "Yeah," she replies shortly. She moves slowly and reaches into her bag, grabbing the cigarette box that's always there. Without needing any command, Koni lights it up for her. Then, with a casual motion, she lowers the car window a bit. Observing the road they're traveling, she says, "Jon, just turn off the AC. I'm smoking.""Sure thing, Miss," Jonno, the chauffeur who picks up the woman almost every day, says. He's quite awestruck by her beauty. In nearly ten years, Seira Denaswari hasn't changed at all.
