"Do I need to ask for a new menu?" Fabian asks while chewing a piece of sushi on the table. Everything that the man who left them half an hour ago was enjoying has been replaced with a new menu. Even Jane's, although she didn't need to change her order."Doesn't feel right to enjoy cold ramen," Fabian says.Because of that, there's nothing Jane can do but comply. Even though they've changed to a new menu, the hunger and desire to enjoy it all have vanished. Jane has many questions in her mind about what really happened. How did that annoying guy get so much information? Especially about Giselle."No," Jane says, trying to salvage what's left of her appetite."After you finish your dinner, you can ask me anything, and I'll answer," Fabian says with a thin smile. "I didn't expect that guy to be so annoying," he grumbles. "Anyway, let's not dwell on him. My appetite can really disappear."Jane smiles faintly, "I guess I'll have to try hard to eat it."

Giselle laughs cheerfully, while Harvey frowns and taps his foot in annoyance. The chore of washing dishes is far from him. Although Jane has forbidden them to meddle in kitchen affairs, they would never deign to heed her.They chime in together, "Our bellies are full, so washing dishes isn't a big deal." But afterward, they argue about who will tackle the pile of dishes over there."Oh yeah, Olive, I brought your dress. I also brought the jewelry box. I think it's better if we coordinate our colors," says Giselle as she grabs her mug of hot chocolate. "Breakfast this morning is absolutely fantastic. When was the last time you failed to satisfy us with food?"Jane just shakes her head in wonder. "Honestly, I'm not good at cooking. I just took a course with one of the chefs from the Sandrianna hotel.""You're really making the most of your training, huh?"Jane's smile is barely there. "I'm glad my skills are finally useful.""We're happy our

"I refuse," says Jane, crossing her arms. Although her body leans comfortably on the sofa layered with thin wool, her gaze is sharp as she faces her interlocutor."I knew you'd say that." The man in front of her laughs. "But, Olive," he casually takes out a cigarette from his pocket, lighting it immediately and taking a slow drag, exhaling the smoke. Regardless of the lounge in the hotel now appearing full of smoke. "You can't easily refuse this.""The compensation issue? I think Brina can tell you how much money I've gathered."Fabian laughs even more. "Oh my, our supermodel can boast now."Jane rolls her eyes in annoyance. "Come on, this isn't a small matter, Fabian. I don't want to be associated with Goojoo again.""I understand that very well, Olive." This time, Fabian puts his cigarette in the ashtray. Letting the butt burn itself out. He really needs to talk seriously about this. "Ursula doesn't want to continue the collaboration. Rumors swir

Jane settles comfortably on the long sofa right by the large glass window. The view she can enjoy is of Yazeran at night. The first time she came to this place, partly sandy and the heat was enough to limit her movements, Jane fell in love. With the ethnic lines on clothing and ornaments found in almost every public building there.And because of that, most of the souvenirs from Yazeran in her hands are woven cloth, each with its own characteristics as a marker that the fabric is a souvenir from the desert region. Under Giselle's creative hands, the fabric becomes a comfortable dress that makes Jane feel close to Yazeran.It's also the dress she wears for dinner with Fabian tonight. It's not unusual for Jane to hear praise from the man. And his annoying, almost nauseating behavior towards her, Jane can't just shake him off. The man always finds a way to put Jane back under his control.Including now. Where Jane occupies the suite at the famous Paradise hotel in

Austin asks his assistant to double-check the financial reports and requests that came in until last week. Who knows, the answers he needs might be there. Last night, he couldn't finish the rest of his work. Instead, he sat by the window, scrolling through social media and news about his ex-wife.There isn't a single news item that directly bothers him. Even the dinner party where Austin crossed paths with Jane twice didn't make it to the media. No, Austin doesn't believe what he sees because he knows for sure there's someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.Isn't that good? Their divorce isn't being sensationalized in the news, which would drag him down. Austin doesn't like being involved in the world of celebrities. Most of them just need big names to climb to the top."I don't really care how she rises as long as she doesn't bother me. But Jacob's words from some time ago proved to be true." He compares Jacob's report with separate files. Many compariso
