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

Sofia rolled her eyes. She had leaned back on the sofa in Robert's office, her eyes sharp as she looked at her college friend. But instead of being irritated, the woman, elegantly dressed in a yellow-flowered dress, just laughed. She was the kind of person who never escaped Robert's gaze."I told you, Sof, I told you to take care of Olive first. But you know what kind of guy Robert is, right?"Once again, they heard Sofia's exasperated sigh."You didn't suddenly lose the ability to speak, did you, Sof?" Robert asked, trying to hold back his laughter."You're unbelievable!" Sofia was genuinely annoyed now. "Whose idea was this, anyway?""Mommy's, Sof. You know Gissella Anastashia's way of speaking.""Oh my God! Was it a dream I had last night?" She immediately took out her planner. "Can't it be postponed to her trip to Sydney?""And I lose a multi-billion-dollar project? No way.""Your wedding is postponed, Robert!" Sofia declar

"Thomas declined the tickets and all the reservations for them."Seira furrowed her brow."At dinner, Thomas said it's not that he doesn't appreciate me. He just wants their honeymoon to be entirely with their own money because making his wife happy is his duty, not someone else's. But I considered it a gift."Seira grinned."I offered a hotel with complete facilities and a great tour guide, but he still declined.""Are you mad?" Seira asked, leaning back slightly."Nah, not at all. I'm actually impressed; it means he truly cares about Olive. He doesn't want to take advantage of what's available." Robert gave a quick peck on his fiancée's forehead. "I asked him where they're going, and he said Nihiwatu. I think it's suitable for a couple.""Where's that?" Seira asked, unfamiliar with the name Robert mentioned."In Sumba. Still in Indonesia, but when I asked Johan to look it up, it seems beautiful and perfect for spending

Like this, waking up on a workday feel? Incredibly nice. Seriously. Not thinking about anything except waking up feeling much more refreshed. Even though Olive knew she had a lot of agendas to handle, including preparations for her wedding. Today, her schedule includes a meeting with Sofia to discuss the wedding details and preparations for the party later in the afternoon. She deliberately chose an afternoon time slot for the party to avoid any complications. If she gets tired, she can just enter her hotel room.Simple, right?"Morning, Bee," Thomas greeted, holding a tray with a bowl and a glass of water. Olive's brow furrowed slightly."You're already up?" She quickly pulled back the blanket and gave her husband a suspicious look. "When?""An hour ago," Thomas grinned. "Didn't have the heart to wake you. You must be really tired from last night."Olive pouted. "You weren't working overtime in front of a laptop, but the kind of overtime that made

Olive is impressed, ah... using the word 'impressed' doesn't quite capture her current state of mind. The planned and already set up decorations are vividly apparent. This includes a space surrounded by flowers, which, according to Sofia, is typically used by brides and grooms for dancing."Oh, I couldn't possibly," Olive says with a laugh."No need for fancy moves, Liv," Sofia smiles broadly. "Just follow the music. Get close to your husband, create a romantic moment together.""Goodness!" Olive can't imagine it. "Is it really necessary?""It's a great concept," Sofia offers more support. "Have you tried the catering? It suits Auntie's taste. Not just because we've worked together often, but the menu this time is exceptional."Olive nods in agreement. "Mr. Thomas and I like it too, right?"Thomas, who has been paying attention to the event rundown, looks up and smiles faintly. "Yes, I like it.""Thank goodness," Sofia says, relieved
