The next step Marco needs to take is to meet Arabella in person, even though he is aware that Helena has already taken the initiative to contact Arabella's family for collaboration with their company. However, Marco chooses a different path, intending to do things in his own way. He shifts his gaze towards Pedro, who, like him, is still unable to rest."Do you already know where Arabella is?" Marco asks again."She's currently in Paris, Sir," Pedro replies, prompting Marco to nod."In that case, arrange a meeting with her. Let her know that I want to meet her personally," Marco says again, causing Pedro to nod immediately. Marco needs to move quickly amid completing all his projects in Chicago. He also has to find time to meet Arabella amidst a stack of files and emails that he needs to go through. Marco is still trying to figure out the next steps and plan. He continues to monitor the condition of his father, who remains in the same state."Alright, let's first inspect our projects i
Pedro entered Marco's room as soon as they arrived in Paris, ensuring that Carlos was securely in his grasp."Sir, you can now meet Miss Arabella; she's waiting at one of the hotel's restaurants in the city center," Pedro says, causing Marco to halt his movements on the screen in front of him."In that case, prepare for another 15 minutes. I'll be there," Marco says. After that, he moves swiftly, organizing and preparing the documents he needs to show Arabella. Once everything is ready, Marco heads to the agreed-upon hotel for their meeting.It doesn't take long for Marco to arrive at the promised restaurant. He sits in the pre-booked chair, but he furrows his brow when Arabella hasn't arrived after almost 15 minutes of waiting. Marco immediately contacts Pedro, who is waiting in another room in the hotel."Can you confirm that the time mentioned by Arabella is correct?" Marco asks, making Pedro nod."Yes, Sir. I've checked several times, and the restaurant seat reservation matches wh
Letta then stepped out of her room out of boredom. She tried to survey her surroundings, observing several servants cleaning the area."Where's Desi?" Letta asked one of the servants."She was behind Madam, watching the employees tidying up the backyard," the servant replied, prompting Letta to nod."The backyard with the high fence?" Letta asked, making the servant nod."Alright, then I'll go there," Letta said, causing the servant to be slightly startled and stop her mistress."Should I fetch Desi for you, Madam?" the servant asked, but Letta shook her head."No need, I want to find out myself. What's happening in that backyard? All I see is overgrown bushes left neglected, so are they clearing it now?" Letta inquired, making the servant nod slightly."In that case, should I accompany you, Madam?" the servant asked again, and Letta shook her head."No need. I can manage on my own. Besides, you all have a lot of work, don't you? Just continue with your tasks," Letta said, making the
Desi glanced at Letta, who was now sitting while watching a large TV in front of her with a variety of fruit snacks and other sweets. Letta looked towards Desi, who was sitting farther away."Desi, sit here, accompany me in watching," Letta said, making Desi just smile."It's okay, Madam. I can stay here with you. Besides, I need to check on the other servants," Desi said, causing Letta to look around."It's almost evening. Besides, they don't need to be supervised. Just let them be; they might be tired from the whole day's work. So, relax here," Letta said, eventually making Desi sit closer to her."Come closer. It's fine here. Don't sit far away like that," Letta said again, making Desi finally sit closer. Desi then looked at the TV show Letta was watching, like romantic dramas that always captivated Letta's attention."Isn't their love story so tragic? I follow every episode," Letta said, making Desi just smile."Yes, I followed it in the early episodes, but not anymore," Desi said
Marco had just stepped out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe, attempting to dry his hair with a small towel. Now, he walked towards the nightstand to grab his phone when Pedro knocked on his door and entered, bowing."Sir, there's important news," Pedro said, causing Marco to pause his hand movements, staring at his subordinate."What news? I hope it's good news because it's still morning, and I don't want my mood to turn sour," Marco said, making Pedro pause momentarily, evident to Marco's sharp eyes."And my guess seems to be correct. Is it something bad?" Marco asked, making Pedro approach."The paparazzi have reported that Sir's relationship with Miss Arabella is back. Some photos of you both leaving the same hotel, though not together, have circulated. Even television stations have covered it, and gossip magazines have published news about you filling the front pages of famous magazines," Pedro said, making Marco sigh deeply."So, it's challenging for us to silence all the widel
Desi then reached out to knock on Letta's door with the tray that was now in her hands. Desi tried to assess her mistress's condition because since Letta had seen the news about Marco and Arabella a few days ago, Letta had not left her room except to go to the garden, the library, or watch TV as she usually did. Letta had truly secluded herself in her room. That's why Desi always sent food to Letta, and even had to coax her to finish her meals every time. At this moment, Desi's steps halted as she saw Letta staring at the flat screen in front of her, still filled with news about Marco Jovanka. Not only the television screen, but even newspapers, magazines, and social media were full of Marco and Arabella's names. But what puzzled Desi was why her mistress had not contacted Mr. to explain everything, even though Desi knew that Marco must have already known about the spreading news."Madam, it's better for you to eat your lunch first. You didn't finish your breakfast this morning," De
186.65 Marco then began to swing the long stick to hit the small ball, which now floated far in front of him, making Marco smile as he looked at Arabella, who was now staring at him with a disapproving look. "What is your goal, actually?" Marco asked, looking at Arabella who was now preparing to hit the golf ball in front of her. "I want to know someone's reaction to this news," Arabella said, making Marco look at her with a blank expression. “Who else is currently pursuing you and wanting to test their courage?" Marco asked, making Arabella pause for a moment to focus on her swing, executing it smoothly, then walking followed by Marco. "He's a simple man. He's just a fitness coach, but I find him somewhat attractive, and most importantly, he's not tempted by me,” Arabella said, causing Marco's steps to stop as he gazed at his former lover. "So?" Marco asked again. "That's why I want you not to mess up about the news circulating right now. For the next week, and after that
Before Marco returned home to meet Letta, he went to the hospital where Edward was still being treated. Fortunately, Daddy's condition had also started to improve and he only needed regular care. The same went for his plans and Arabella's. "You've come,” Edward said as Marco entered his hospital room, while Helena didn't even glance at her eldest son, which was evident to Edward. "Actually, is there something that happened that Daddy doesn't know about?" Edward asked, making Marco choose to be on the other side, near Edward, facing his mother who was peeling fruit for her husband. "No, just a misunderstanding among us,” Marco answered, making Helena not respond at all. "Daddy, listen, everything is fine, good job,” Edward said, making Marco just nod. "Daddy doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore because I've resolved everything. What should concern Daddy is how to get out of this hospital quickly and recover,” Marco said, making Edward nod. "Yes, but how can Daddy not t
