Glara just remained silent. "Who mentioned Glara?" Bhuvi repeated, still staring at Glara.
"No one," she replied after a long silence. "I was just thinking on my own," she added, bowing her head even further.
"Gla, all this time I've been living alone. Losing a sibling, mother, and father in the blink of an eye almost pushed me into the black abyss. Not to mention the failure of the company back then. I am happy with your and Gama's presence. Gama brings a new light to my life."
Slowly, Glara lifted her head and looked into Bhuvi's ash-colored eyes, searching for the truth in what he was saying. "Really? What about your lover?"
"What if I told you I've never been in a relationship?"
"Huh?" Glara widened her eyes in disbelief at Bhuvi's statement.
Bhuvi chuckled awkwardly, leaning back and tilting his head to gaze at the star-studded night sky. After a while,
Damian's movements stopped as he was surprised by Issabella's presence, who was standing not far from him. "It's nothing, work stuff.""Oh, where are you going?" Issabella asked, looking at Damian putting on his shirt.Damian shook his head and walked towards Issabella. "I want to stay here," he said, embracing Issabella from behind. His strong fingers moved, caressing and touching Issabella's body, making her moan restrainedly."Damian, don't do this; you're teasing me." Issabella resisted by moving her body, increasing her arousal.Issabella wasn't a virtuous woman; she had engaged in intimate relationships since her teens. That's why she became addicted to bedroom activities, and Damian was the only man who could match her in the game of passion.While Damian and Issabella were indulging in their forbidden relationship, Glara had just finished her office work after accompanyin
"I'll explain later, for now, let's go inside." Glara nodded and followed Bhuvi inside.Unfortunately, Glara didn't realize that her hand was still resting on Bhuvi's arm. If others saw it, they might think that Bhuvi was holding Glara's hand, and vice versa. The three of them were warmly welcomed by other colleagues, except Damian, who was already sitting there.His attention shifted to the hand-holding between Glara and Bhuvi. He squeezed his hands and stared sharply at the objects that caught his attention. Glara and Bhuvi sat side by side in front of Damian, who continued to gaze at them sharply. Soon, the meeting began, discussing a collaborative project to complete their year-end project together.All meeting participants paid attention to the team leader's presentation, except Damian, who focused on Glara and her interaction with Bhuvi, as well as with Darel. Actually, it wasn't just Damian; a few other colleagues
Bhuvi nodded with a faint smile on his face. "As I've already mentioned, Mr. Louis has a strong intuition about this incident.""In that case, it means I...""You will manage three companies." Glara was stunned, disbelieving Bhuvi's words. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath."What if I fail?" Glara asked with her eyes closed.Bhuvi smiled thinly, one hand rubbing the top of Glara's head. "There's me and Mr. Darel. You can surely do it.""Mom can do it," Gama said, wiping her eyes and stretching her muscles.Glara and Bhuvi were surprised by Gama's words. "Oh, Mom's little hero is awake," said Glara, kissing Gama's chubby cheek.Gama nodded with a sleepy face, then hugged Glara tightly, and Glara hugged the small Gama closely. 'Mom will try to make you happy, dear,' Glara whispered in her heart, kissing the top of Gama's head.
"Of course, to meet my wife and child," he said with a joyful face."Who?"Damian continued to walk forward while Glara tried to protect Gama. "Who else is in front of me?""Not you, not my dad‼" Gama exclaimed, running away from Damian and moving toward Bhuvi standing behind Damian. "This is my dad‼" Gama said, hugging Bhuvi's tall legs."See? And don't be too confident. We have no business or ties anymore. Stop bothering me unless you want your secrets exposed," Glara said as she walked away from Damian.She walked towards Bhuvi, who was carrying the small Gama. Damian tried to grab Glara's hand, but unfortunately, Bhuvi's guards had pointed their weapons at his head and surrounded him. Damian abandoned his intention, prioritizing his life over chasing Glara."Shit!" Damian muttered, unable to do anything.From where he stood, he could
"I've told you, I'm not an ordinary woman!" Glara whispered in Damian's ear. After that, she smiled cynically and tightly held Gama's hand, walking away, leaving Damian still lost in thought.Damian watched Glara and Bhuvi leave, walking together like a harmonious family. Somehow, Glara looked exceptionally beautiful to him today, even though he had never noticed her beauty before. Not wanting to embarrass himself, Damian gave in and sat at a table not far from Glara's.The event proceeded very lively; several award categories had already been announced, and it was time for the last category. Darel, chosen as one of the presenters, stepped onto the stage and stood in front of the podium."And the winner for the most influential entrepreneur nomination goes to," he said, pointing to the large LCD screen behind him. The thunderous music heightened the tension; this nomination was eagerly awaited by entrepreneurs because of its significant impact on stock prices an
Damian drove his car hastily, even ignoring traffic lights. His current destination was Martha's childhood home. It took him an hour to reach the house.Upon arrival, Damian knocked on the door, and shortly, a middle-aged woman emerged. "Excuse me, sir, who are you?" she asked with a puzzled expression."Where's Martha?"The woman furrowed her brow even more. "Martha? Martha who? There's no one named Martha here. Maybe you have the wrong address.""No, this is Martha's house.""Sorry, sir, I bought this house a few months ago. Maybe the person you're looking for has moved. It's late; I need to rest. Excuse me." The woman promptly closed the door without waiting for Damian's response.He stood thoughtfully in front of the house, ruffling his hair roughly. "Martha, where are you?"Damian spent a long time there, trying to remember places Martha might visit when bored. After a while, he found one place Martha often went to and quickly he
They were surprised by Gama's immediate running around and trying to play with LEGO here and there. Glara smiled at Bhuvi. "Just stay here, I'll take care of the paperwork." Glara nodded and let Bhuvi leave her in the classroom.A teacher approached Glara, greeted her, and explained the learning system in this beginner class. From there, Glara knew that the school she chose was indeed suitable for kids like Gama."Glara, do you forget about me?" said one of the teachers there. From her face and dressing style, it seemed that her age wasn't much different from Glara's.Glara's forehead wrinkled upon hearing the woman's words. She observed her face carefully, but the result was nil. She couldn't remember the person standing in front of her. "I'm Berlin. Do you forget? We used to be friends in the same faculty.""Is this really you, Berlin?" Glara asked in disbelief. The woman nodded and hugged Glara happily.Glara was delighted because her son's teacher turned out to be her college frie
Glara looked up, staring at the watch encircling her left wrist. "Oh my God, I didn't even realize. You guys go ahead; I'll catch up later. I'll leave Gama with you." Glara glanced at Gama, who was already putting on his shoes."Miss, aren't you coming?" Boy asked, confused.Glara shook her head weakly, "There are many files I need to check; it's okay, I'll have lunch here later.""Alright, Miss. I'm leaving now. Excuse me." Glara nodded.She approached Gama, who was waiting for her at the edge of the table. After bidding farewell and explaining that she couldn't join them, Gama, Boy, and other guards hurriedly left Glara's office. Although initially, Gama insisted Glara join them, in the end, Glara managed to persuade him.The journey from Glara's company to Bhuvi's company took quite a long time. However, thanks to Boy's skill in driving and finding shortcuts, he managed to sho
