"Now, what are you busy with?"Randy seemed to be getting bored dealing with Giselle, who had been engaging him in small talk. While glancing at the Tag Heuer Carrera silver wrapped around his wrist, Randy occasionally scanned the surroundings, hoping that Ghea would come and pull him away from the event.As a man who had spent a lot of time with many women, he certainly knew which ones were genuinely interested and which ones were intentionally seeking his attention, like what Giselle had been doing."If you're asking what I'm busy with, of course, I'm busy with work as usual," Randy replied casually."Oh, I see," Giselle responded, trying to be friendly. As much as possible, she tried to grab attention and present the best impression to the man who was clearly the husband of her step-sister. "I thought, besides work, you might have other activities that you're currently focused on. You know, young entrepreneurs like you usually have a tight schedule with various business-related or

Ghea looked visibly bored. Since this morning, she had been sitting silently in her room, making her feel lifeless. Accustomed to moving around here and there, suddenly having to take a complete break like this was making her tired. She wanted to contact Joshua or Denisa, but she realized both of her friends were probably busy working. Continuing to roll around on the bed, Ghea's bedroom door was heard being knocked. Shortly after, Sandra appeared, carrying a tray with something on it. "What's up?" Ghea asked as Sandra entered. "This is snacks and fruits, Mrs. Ghea. Just now, Mr. Randy called to remind me to bring snacks and fruits for you. He also asked me to keep you company for a while. He's worried you might get bored being alone in the room all day." Ghea smiled. For a moment, she felt grateful for the sensitivity her husband possessed. As if he could read her mind, he knew she was currently bor

"Are you seriously not interested at all in joining me to Bali?"The next morning, once again before heading to the airport, Randy confirmed with his wife about the invitation to go to Bali together. Randy intentionally invited Ghea to join with the intention of slowly building a connection. Who knows, maybe his wife's heart could soften after this. "Not that I'm not interested. But, there's a schedule I can't leave. After finishing breakfast, I'll go straight to the campus." Randy sighed softly. His hope of inviting Ghea to go to Bali with him was dashed. "Well then. In that case, I'll leave first. To avoid traffic and arrive at the airport on time. I'll be away for three days; take care of yourself. If you need anything, you can ask Sandra or contact Alvin, my assistant. Luckily, he's always on standby in the office." This time, Ghea nodded in understanding. She then got up from her seat, in

"How could you follow me to Bali without telling me first? You said you had a busy schedule. Then why the change of heart? Or perhaps..." As they walked towards the lounge where the event was taking place, Randy's eyes narrowed sharply. He was trying to find out why Ghea suddenly changed her mind and followed him to Bali. He had repeatedly invited his wife, and she had stubbornly refused for various reasons. "Or perhaps what?" "Are you jealous and unwilling to let me go on a business trip alone with Stella? Is that it? Come on, admit it." Ghea immediately squinted her eyes. As they walked, she took Randy's hand and gave a small pinch to his waist, making him wince in pain. "Don't be jealous randomly! Strawberry, mango, apple, sorry, it's not on the same level. Why would I be jealous of that fragrance-spreading ghost?" Randy was astonished and then laughed sho

Like a man true to his words, Randy proved his promise by returning immediately after attending an important meeting. Even when Stella tried to stop him from going to lunch together and visiting a colleague's residence, Randy seemed to decline."Sorry, Stella. I can't join you. I already promised my wife to go straight home after the meeting. If you really want to go to Mr. Satrio's residence, go ahead. And please, give my regards to him," he said after explaining his refusal.Stella sighed a little. For God's sake, why was it so difficult to find a way to melt this man's heart?"So, you can't make it? Just for lunch together?"Randy shook his head."If I have lunch first, my wife will be disappointed. She's probably waiting for me to have lunch together. So, once again, I apologize for not being able to accept your invitation."Stella nodded resignedly. Although annoyed, she finally chose to give up her efforts to persuade Randy to join her.Meanwhile, Randy immediately hurried. Acco
