“Put this on.”

Ugh! This man in front of me is really annoying. Can't a day go by without a coercive tone coming out of his lips? Ever since he found me in the park, what comes out of his mouth is always in a coercive tone.

Just like now. He threw me a set of his sleeping clothes. I just stared in doubt but...

“Quickly shower and change your clothes.” Thomas gave an exasperated look. “You're like a dog that lost its master in the middle of the forest.”

“Oh my, Mr. Thomas. I already refused your offer and could have gone home by taxi. But you forced me to follow you home, didn't you?”

Thomas made no more sound except to give me a disapproving look. All I could do was walk away from him-to the bathroom. It was true what he said. I needed a shower and a change of clothes. My whole body was wet and I didn't realize I was shivering from the cold.

“You use the guest room. Make yourself at home. I won't leave the room because it's so late. There are many important meetings tomorrow, right? T

    They say that the best cure for a broken heart is to be busy at work, working overtime, and not remembering time except when you eat and come home and fall asleep. It seems like a good idea unless you have a family that is quite sensitive to what's going on with you.Really. It can't be ignored for too long.Maybe yesterday-when I ended up staying at my best friend's brother's house, I was able to avoid a lot of questions from Uncle Jack, Aunt Merry, and Lily too. But it's been three days and I've also made a lot of cancellations related to my wedding that will be held soon. They must be wondering what really happened to me.“Wilna.”If Aunt Merry had called me in that tone, I knew what would happen next. Interrogation. And sure enough. As I sat in the living room after dinner, after I had taken a shower and unwound a little from the many meetings and reports that had piled up at Nakia, Aunt Merry sat down beside me.She brought me a cup of lemon tea and her not-so-sweet homemade cake

    “Hey, wake up!”I really wanted to throw something at this person who kept talking. It's so noisy. Even though I had just found myself sleeping in... I quickly opened my eyes as wide as I could. I just realized where I fell asleep this time.“Finally woke up too.”I heard the man beside me grumble. His hair was a bit messy, his shirt had been rolled up to my waist, and his blazer was no longer worn. I saw another appearance of Thomas Edison's figure that I think actually made his good looks go up a hundred percent.One moment.Me just complimenting him doesn't mean I have feelings for him. He's a man I'll cross off the list of men I want to be lovers, by the way. Looking at his track record as a man who has had many lovers, I'm completely distancing myself from having a special relationship with this man.“I'm sorry,” I said while bowing slightly.“No problem.” He also stretched his hand. For some reason, seeing him like this made me feel guilty. I shouldn't have fallen asleep on the

    "Wilna, do you know that the marketing department needs the most up-to-date input on the exhibition in three months? Have you prepared it?”I looked up as Thomas Edison's heavy voice filled my room. The guy just walked in without knocking on the door first. Really, this was the dozenth time I had protested his bad habit, but he didn't seem to care at all.It seemed like God had created Thomas as a challenge for me. So I had to extend my patience in order to face the man who had pulled out one of the chairs in front of me. Ready for a long talk that I'm sure won't be over in an hour. Ugh! I have a lot of work to do but I still have to deal with this guy? Seriously!“I've prepared it, sir,” I replied as I straightened my shoulders. My eyes glanced at the thick document lying neatly on the table. The work Thomas was asking about was really testing my patience. The financial reports of the last three months were a burden on my mind, not to mention the big exhibition plan that would become

    “Damn,” I grumbled with an annoyed step. The encounter with Charles had completely ruined my mood. I was hungry but because of the argument, my taste buds just disappeared. I had to fill my stomach immediately because my job as Helena's replacement could not be taken lightly.Along the way to Helena's room, I kept thinking about that shameless Charles. God, he showed me a very bad side. And I felt that the sadness and disappointment that my marriage had failed was not as bad as it seemed. I was indeed sad, because what I wanted and longed for had come to an abrupt end. With an affair that I never expected.But the more days I pass, the more grateful I am that the failure happened.Including the incident this afternoon.Perhaps because I was too busy with thoughts that didn't lead to work, I had unknowingly stepped closer to Helena's office. The elevator that took me to my floor destination also seemed to be moving quickly. Unfortunately... I haven't put anything in my stomach as food.

    Thomas really made me do a shitty morning activity. I had to wake up early, missing breakfast with Aunt Merry just to pick him up at the apartment. Ridiculously, I couldn't refuse not because I didn't have the courage. I saw that Thomas was really busy with his files. So... what that man was asking for wasn't just an excuse.He needs my help.So here I am now. Choosing a suit that suits him-tie, cufflinks, watch, and shoes. It must all match, or else I will get him angry. That's also why I had to take the time to study colors. It must be because the stuff in Thomas's clothes comes in a variety of colors.“Your clothes are ready,” I half shouted. I couldn't possibly talk in front of Thomas' bathroom door. Ugh! After sorting the clothes, I glanced at the dining table where there was nothing but a slice of bread with no jam on it.“How can he have so much energy with just two slices of bread?” I said as I opened the fridge. I took out the eggs, sliced beef, lettuce, tomato, and cucumber

    “Why is this happening to me?” I grumbled with a grumpy face. Really, dinner this time made me sick. Plus, Lily hasn't come home yet because she has work to finish immediately. At least if Lily joins us at the table, I can hold my temper a bit.What exactly is this asshole doing?“You don't have to bother bringing us a lot of food like this, Charles.”I heard my aunt speak in a friendly tone that was so sincere. Charles brought two large paper bags with the logo of a famous restaurant as gifts. I saw them as useless items in this house. Aunt Merry had prepared a separate dish for dinner.I stirred the food on my plate with no intention of actually eating it. Several times Aunt Merry offered me various delicious dishes at the dining table, but I refused. Really, I didn't want to eat the food Charles had brought for dinner this time.Uncle's voice talking about the house renovation plan sounded like the buzzing of mosquitoes in my ears. I only replied as needed, one or two words that I

    I really wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling. Even though the vibe was quite relaxed and the song I was listening to was pleasant, it still felt awkward.“Where are we going, sir?” I asked. For the longest time. His answer? Just a big smile and a mischievous grin. Typical of a man named Thomas Edison. More often than not, he was annoying with his multiple desires, dizzying with so many detailed things he wanted, not to mention that sometimes he acted like a sulking five-year-old.I don't understand why so many people admire him. I know he has extraordinary capacity as a leader. But... I guess that's a performance Thomas often gives in front of many people. In front of me? It's a different story.Just like this afternoon. Even though his meeting schedule with Sofie had been arranged in such a way. It was a little difficult to contact the woman in the middle of her busy schedule with the launch of the new product she was managing. Sofie Ansela, the daughter of a rich family.

    Six months had passed since all the drama.“Is there a follow-up meeting?” Helena asked Wilna who was still going through some files. Because of Helena's question just now, Wilna looked up and stared at her best friend and boss. She seemed to think before she finally spoke.“I don't think so. Besides, all your dealings with the production and marketing teams have been handled by Gio. He's reliable.”Helena chuckled. “But afterward, he must have complained about a lot of things, especially that he couldn't go back to his apartment because he had too much work at Nakia.”Wilna spluttered. “Who told him to live so far away from the office?”“Sometimes I feel sorry for Gio. He's adapting a lot to his surroundings but there's no denying it, if that's what you have to do. Right?”Wilna nodded enthusiastically. “Should we ask him to transfer? Gio is a potential employee for Nakia, Helena. Do you know how much of an impact he could have on Nakia's survival?”“I know,” Helena replied immediate

    “Have you seen the latest news?“ Lisa immediately approached Risna's table, where her coworker and friend was eating breakfast.“What news?” Risna was surprised by Lisa's remark and her enthusiasm this morning. In fact, in recent days, Lisa had been complaining all the time. It never stopped for a moment until Risna felt that Lisa's energy was being used up complaining. The biggest complaint was the portion of their work, which she said was increasing.“All because of those ungrateful interns!” Lisa said in a rather loud tone of voice. She said it on purpose so that everyone would hear how unfair it was that King's subordinates were given many tasks, while the interns could work freely.But when King was in his work area, Lisa didn't dare to voice her complaints. Instead, she was very sweet and worked very hard to finish quickly. So she went to King's room just to say a few words. Which were more often ignored because King was really on a deadline and had a lot to be done immediately.

    “So ... have you broken up with Angga?” asked Manda while giving Gadis a glass of pineapple juice and apple. Manda was in a diligent mood again, tinkering with the contents of Gadis's cupboard where there was a juicer that was often used to make refreshing drinks.“That's how it is.“ Gadis accepted the glass with sparkling eyes. ‘You know I'm really tired after coming back from Bogor.”Not only Manda, but also Lily suddenly stared at Gadis suspiciously. ’Bogor?” they asked in unison. “Don't you have work in Bandung? How come you went to Bogor instead?”Gadis choked even though she was enjoying the sweetness that ran through her throat. Even though it was getting dark, the air made the surroundings feel hot and she needed a refreshing drink.“Is there something you're hiding, Dis?” asked Lily with a suspicious look. ”Besides, you should have gone home yesterday afternoon, but instead you're late until this afternoon. Admit it! Are you going out with Angga?”“I'm so over him that I can'

    Does their madness end? Obviously not. Once they reached Puncak Pass, the car that King was now in entered the lodging area. Luckily, the room they rented was not full and was comfortable for temporary living. Don't worry, King would never take Gadis to spend the night in a usual place even though the place they were going to was not a five-star hotel.“Bandung-Bogor just for the sake of sunrise?” Gadis shook her head in surprise as soon as they finished the paperwork at the reception desk. The innkeeper looked at them somewhat surprised because they might be the latest guests to come here.“It's still better Bandung-Bogor than Bandung-Bukit Sikunir.”“Don't be crazy,“ said the girl, who immediately took the key to her room. "I'm at the end there, right?" she asked, confirming once again the direction indicated by the receptionist.“Yes, ma'am. And the guy is on the second floor.”“Okay.” King immediately prepared to go to the place indicated. “You have to be up at five, Pasaraya. I d

    In the end, Gadis was unable to refuse what King wanted. As for talking to Mr. Ubud, Leo, Gadis could just send a text message. After all, her work in Bandung was finished. The GreenTech team and Gadis were scheduled to return at eleven o'clock the next day. Then Ubud gave her two days off. That was the plan, but since Gadis got an amazing surprise, everything changed.Including plans to relax at the guest house after returning from Bandung.“Ready?” King asked while putting on his seat belt. King's appearance was the same; he looked tired but his annoying look hadn't left. Is that how Kingkong always looks? I don't know. What is clear is that Gadis was used to it.“I should be the one asking that, Kingkong,” Gadis said as she made sure the driver's seat was properly adjusted. E-toll card and a few things she needed while behind the wheel. Including the gas indicator, which was almost full. ”You really rarely run out of gas.”King chuckled. “I just realized that you have a good eye. I

    Almost all visitors to the cafe paid attention to those who had been arguing. Although Gadis's voice was ordinary, it was full of a very noticeable aura of anger. This was in contrast to Angga, who sometimes raised his voice. Moreover, the girl's words, which he did not expect to come out so smoothly from her mouth.“Watch your mouth, Dis,” Angga said, clenching his fist.“Angga, I need an explanation.” Sheila immediately wiped away her tears. She also no longer sat listening to what was really going on. But since she had listened to the words of the girl sitting next to her, as well as Angga who suddenly ignored her, Sheila began to doubt Angga's words. Especially the sweet part full of romantic love.“Shut up!” Angga stared at Sheila with a sharp look. His face looked scary. His breath roared strongly and he was too overwhelmed by his emotions.This immediately made Sheila's guts shrink. In the end, she could only sit

    Not only Angga, but the girl in front of him was staring in disbelief at the figure who had suddenly appeared around them.“You ... who are you?” asked the girl with an unkind look. ”Don't you mind our time.”Gadis smiled cynically. “Is that true?” The gaze that never left Angga's figure was slightly distracted to stare at the girl who had just spoken from such a close distance. “Am I a bother, Mr. Angga?” asked Gadis in a casual tone of voice.She didn't need to use her high tone because she was already emotional and disappointed. A flat tone was enough, but seriously, Gadis wasn't going to intimidate them both. Especially the man who seemed to be growling while holding back his annoyance.“Who is he? Do you know her?”“Are you in Bandung? What are you doing here?“ Angga ignored the question of the girl he was dating today. Her name was Sheila, a colleague at the hospital whom

    The amazing girl was happy. Her smile wouldn't leave her face and her eyes were shining with happiness. For almost five hours she posed in front of the camera, not to mention changing her clothes several times and matching which part of the corner was the right one for shooting. And there was still more she had to do at the official Velue Jewelry outlet in Bandung.Maybe it's because of her determination to get rid of the problems that are still entangling her, and she refrains from telling her two friends. It's not that she doesn't want to, but for the past two days Gadis has been coming home late. The job that King gave her doesn't give her any breaks at all. But she feels grateful because she's busy. So her thoughts were not always about Angga's words and what she should do about their relationship.Gadis didn't even think about Leo's words. Gadis's main goal this time was to finish the job that she had already taken the risk of doing well. She also examined one by

    Did the annoying continuation of the conversation between Angga and Gadis happen? No.Gadis' condition did not allow her to continue all the words that were on the tip of her tongue. All the swearing seemed to be able to come out because of the frustration and tightness she felt. What Angga said was outrageous. All the things that had happened to her in the past were spinning around in her head.Making Gadis lose concentration. Repeatedly her name was called to follow directions that they thought were easy, but today Gadis seemed to have lost control. Unfortunately, all of that could not be expressed because of the circumstances. There was a part of Gadis that kept reminding her strongly, looking at the condition Gadis was in at the moment.That bastard of a boyfriend of hers. He could cause her mood to fall apart.“I'm sorry, Ms. Ransi,” said Gadis, looking down dejectedly. She didn't know how many times she had apologized, but gadis was not

    “Where have you been, Dis?” asked Manda, who greeted Gadis's arrival with surprise. Both she and Lily had been waiting for Gadis to return. It wasn't a problem with the message that Gadis had sent saying that she would be home late, but ... this was out of the ordinary for Gadis. Was it because of her side job that Gadis was coming home late.“Eh, who gave you a drop off?” Lily still hadn't taken her eyes off the HRV car that had just passed right in front of the gate, making her curious. "Mr. Foreigner, huh?" she teased immediately.“Oh, we're full now.” Manda laughed. ”What's in here?”“When you're full, you don't need to ask what's in it,” said Gadis as she continued to climb the stairs. As soon as she got out of the car, she felt so tired. The only thing she wanted to do right away was to clean up and change her clothes. Then curl up in a blanket and fall asleep with sweet dreams.But unfortunately, it was not easy for her to get it considering that Manda and Lily were still aroun
