"This is so delicious, Mi," Olive compliments. Not just once, but several times. Don't even ask; she's going to have more of her mom's sweet and sour gourami. She won't waste her mom's cooking.
Her arrival was a bit late, partly due to traffic, and the man sitting next to her mom requested a salad as a dessert. Well, how could Olive refuse such a request? Besides, it's fun because she gets to spend time with her husband since Thomas has been super busy all day. She wanted to bombard him with many questions, but his face looked so wrinkled like a shirt that hadn't been ironed in three days, so Olive decided to postpone her intentions.
She'll ask when Thomas is in a better mood later. It might be because of his recent move to a new Branch Manager position at Savefund, and he doesn't know who will replace him. That's why her husband is busier than the president. Seriously, what is Olive thinking?

That's why tonight, it wasn't just Seira who seemed delighted with the dinner. Robert was, too. Nevertheless, he chose to step aside for a moment to let the two of them be together. It felt right, didn't it, his decision to support Seira's resignation? She must have plenty of time for Olive. And for him as well. That's what's most important.And here he was with Thomas, enjoying the evening air, where occasionally you could still hear the honking horns and the noisy rumble of vehicles down below. Conversing with Olive's husband was also enjoyable. His head seemed to have an above-average capacity. It made sense that Thomas excelled in his career.Meanwhile..."You had time to cook in the morning, right?" Seira asked after making sure everything was in order."I did. Something simple so we wouldn't be late."Seira nodded. She patted the couch she was sitting on so Olive would come over. She glanced at the slightly open balcony door where Thomas and

Time around Olive and Thomas passed by so quickly. Was it because everything around them just flowed naturally? Or was it because they were too busy enjoying their days? One thing was for sure, there were two things they would face. Um... or more precisely, Olive.First, their wedding reception was just days away. Second, Thomas Adam's resignation. Her husband was in his peak state, not just with meetings but also handing over the remaining work. Although Olive heard that his replacement was quite capable, work was something Thomas took seriously.Olive could understand that even though, well... they had their arguments. It's not like she didn't want to sleep early. But when Thomas was in front of his laptop, he was always focused and rarely could be disturbed. That frustrated Olive."Honey," Olive called out, glancing at the kitchen wall clock; it was already eleven at night. They should be snuggled up under the same blanket, right? Why was Thomas so intimate w

"Talking to you makes me even more upset!" She stood up from her chair, walking angrily. It wasn't because of the words; it was more about Thomas having to work late for a whole week. At this hour, it was still acceptable, but sometimes he wouldn't come to bed until two in the morning. Olive was the one who lost out. Since she started sleeping with Thomas, she developed this strange habit. In addition to needing Thomas by her side, Olive's hand always had to be in Thomas's grip.As if hinting that her husband never left her alone. But what if her husband is gentle? Is she left alone in the room? Even though she's already fast asleep, Olive can wake up suddenly, worried and restless, but she can't disturb Thomas too often, right? Her husband is working. But... ah, forget it!Olive got annoyed!She slammed her bedroom door shut a little forcefully. Behind the recently closed door, Olive let out a soft sigh. "You're so annoying, seriously!" Unconsciously, she wiped

He wanted to laugh, but seeing Olive looking at him with a forlorn and unaccepting expression for everything he did, he couldn't be selfish, could he? His life was no longer his alone. He had a wife who couldn't be ignored, who sulked because she felt neglected. Thomas thought that their breakfasts were quite short. They only talked about what was necessary before going to work. Even though they discussed some things, Thomas still fell short in giving more attention, especially during the past week when they were both busy preparing for the reception."My only wife is Olive," Thomas reached for Olive's hand and gently pulled her closer. Even though her face looked stern, at least Olive was within his reach. He cupped his wife's face and looked at her intently. Although her doll-like eyes kept shifting elsewhere, Thomas didn't want to give up."Don't say much!""I have responsibilities that need to be completed, Bee. I only have tonight to finish them, Bee.

She stepped out of the car that faithfully took her anywhere she wanted to go. Really, what annoyed her a bit was how Robert behaved. He even had a car and a driver waiting for her around the house, claiming, "So you don't have to bother ordering an online taxi."Robert could be quite infuriating when he acted like this. But come to think of it, Seira tried to remember what Robert had done for her since she realized there was something different about this workaholic man. Seira was tired of hearing his confessions of love, which, admittedly, did stir her heart. But she built a fortress as high as the sky to make sure it wasn't easily penetrated. However, it seemed Robert's efforts were genuine and he was relentless in showing his seriousness.How could a man, who was adored by many women out there, choose to wait for Seira? Just a plain girl. A girl who had nothing except a daughter he cherished. Sometimes Seira saw firsthand how Robert was surrounded by other women, b

Barely visible, Seira applied some blush to her face, which she had already covered with light makeup. She wore a knee-length long-sleeved midi dress that was modest yet, when worn by Seira, still exuded a hint of allure. Surprisingly, the neckline was quite low, revealing a slightly tantalizing hint of cleavage. Seira mostly ignored it, as she had often met Gisel whose attire was far more revealing than what she wore tonight.Her smile appeared faint in the mirror's reflection. She never thought the day would come when she'd visit a man's house. Although she had set foot in Robert's house many times before, the context was different. While usually, the homeowner welcomed her with an indifferent gaze, Seira was confident that Gisel would welcome her with open arms this time. Not that she was overly confident about what she would face, but considering their recent conversation, Seira was sure that Gisel would be receptive. She remembered Gisel's words clearly."My son i

Marta once again reviewed the report Thomas had given her. Besides the handover, she needed to secure all the reports and ensure that she had everything in order so that when the new branch manager arrived, she would be well-prepared and wouldn't trouble Thomas, who would now be working from another location. She felt a sense of loss, but she couldn't say much, could she? This was Thomas's decision about where he would work in the future."Everything looks good, sir," Marta smiled broadly. "Honestly, dealing with asset-related matters can be quite confusing."Thomas chuckled. "At least with this, we know all the assets in Senayan."Marta nodded in agreement. "Certainly, I'll miss having a role model like you around here." She expressed her honesty about Thomas Adam's performance at Senayan. Since he had joined, this firm and charismatic figure, known for being strict but with a unique charisma, had indeed been a role model. He had handled many things efficiently

This afternoon, all the SAVEFUND Senayan staff gathered on the second floor. The new Branch Manager in Senayan, Aufar Leinhart, had arrived, and it was an introduction session because starting tomorrow, he would be working alongside Thomas in the office usually occupied by the man in the middle of the second floor.As usual, Olive chose to stay in the background with Yossie. Now, with Andre present, there were often moments when Olive had to give them fierce looks, because Yossie and Andre often argued like kids. Good Lord! Olive wished they'd get together and understand how frustrating they were when they bickered. It was ridiculous! Olive felt like Ayana. She had to take care of both of them to prevent them from quarreling constantly!The introduction that Aufar provided was quite brief. What Olive heard was exactly what Thomas had said. He had his own credibility, and his leadership aura was clear in the way he spoke."I'm very much looking forw
