When Aamber visited the next day, she saw the gleam of happiness on Laurel and Aaron's faces, and she was grateful in her heart. These two people were truly happy.Laurel was taking the cake out of the oven and placing it on the kitchen counter to cool it before slicing. The smell of strawberry and coconut cake filled the room. She got the recipe for the cake from Chris when they were on the island and only had time to practice it now.“Looks like you made it. I've tried Chris's recipe and it's a mess, the inside is still raw.” Aamber looked deliciously at the cake and inhale its aroma. “Hm, and it smells really good.”Laurel laughed seeing Aamber who looked like she wanted to taste the cake. “Let it cool first, otherwise your tongue will burn.”“I'll take the risk.” Amber didn't care. She sliced the cake and pushed it onto the plate, then carried the plate while blowing on it.Aaron was holding his daughter wh

“You are so pathetic.” Aamber turned to the guy next to her, who happened to be her brother.“None of your business.”Amber snorted then took a sip from her can and placed it on the dashboard of the car. “Until when do you want to be like this? Until she becomes a granny and remains unaware of you?”“Sshh!” Aaron did not even turn to face his younger sister sitting next to him, his gaze straight ahead, at the exit of a campus gate. Soon the figure he was looking for came out, with a sweet smile that he had already memorized, was joking with her friends.“She smiled,” muttered Aaron in relief.“Of course she smiled, she managed to graduate cum laude,” said Aamber angrily. “And guess what, it's because of who?”“I don't want to discuss it.”“Because of you! All because of your struggle.” Aamber ignored her brother's warnings and c

“How long do we want to park here? That girl has been gone a long time ago,” Aamber's voice broke the silence, almost making Aaron tiptoe in shock. “Daydreaming again, huh? Recently your habit of daydreaming has gotten worse.”Aaron took a breath and then backed the car out of the parking lot. “Thanks for accompanying me waiting for her.”Aamber looked at her brother intently, then her gaze turned affectionate. The accident was a long time ago, but her brother carried the burden of guilt on his shoulders without stopping. It was as if Aaron had forgotten how to smile. “I love you, brother, I can't stand it if you keep in this condition.”Aaron was silent, not responding.“She has graduated from college, her grades are good, she will definitely be accepted into the company that you have worked so hard to prepare for her.” Aamber gave Aaron a meaningful look, then sighed when Aaron said nothing. &l

Laurel nervously adjusted her work suit skirt, which was slightly wrinkled. The transportation she was riding was so crowded that Laurel's appearance was not as neat as when she left earlier. Now here she stands, in the lavish lobby of this company with obvious hesitation and anxiety.I made the mistake of coming here, this is not my place.Laurel wiped the sweat off her forehead as the friendly receptionist smiled at her, inviting her to come over. “Is there anything I can help?” The receptionist probably felt sorry for Laurel's nervousness and confusion in such a misplaced place.“Er, this.” Laurel brings out the interview summons she received yesterday. She took it out delicately as if it were a precious treasure and showed it to the receptionist. “I got an interview call at this company today.”The receptionist accepted it and frowned, she was an experienced employee and knew that this summons was no joke, sent dire

“It's done,” Aamber placed the files on Aaron's desk. “Thanks,” Aaron smiled at his younger sister. “How is she?” “She was confused,” Aamber sneered. “All of this is too easy. If I were her, I would be confused as well and you made me violate company rules in recruiting employees.” Aaron smiled wryly. “This company is mine and I also have the right to determine the application of these rules.” Aamber shrugged her shoulders. “Yeah. After all, who am I, you could say you started this company for that girl. Now your wish has been fulfilled, Aaron.” “Call me White when you're here.” Aamber grimaced. “She will surely know one day, Aaron,” Aamber stubbornly continued to call her brother by his first name. “Our father is arguably a big name businessman. Someday she will definitely be able to connect your name with Dad and your identity will definitely be exposed.” Aaron was silent and did not deny the truth that was evident in Aamber'

He is handsome indeed, very handsome. Unfortunately too handsome, not my type. Laurel immediately decided at their first glance. The Spanish-blooded man with copper gold skin and jet black curls and deep eyes looked too dangerous to be his type.Meanwhile his new boss was just looking at her with a look of value, considering. So there was a long silence and Laurel was not allowed to sit down.“Sit down.” Mr. White appeared to be smiling faintly, as if satisfied that he had decided something. “Do you know who I am?”What kind of question is that? Laurel thought involuntarily frowned. Of course she did.Mr. White smiled again, seemingly aware of the rhetoric in his question. “Ah, sorry I'm a little nervous.”Again Laurel frowned, nervous? For meeting her? Impossible. This boss must be nervous about something else.“We haven't met each other yet.” The man then stretched his slender fingers towards

“Mr. White.”The call made Aaron, who was working on their latest contractual agreement with a property company, lift his head. Aaron didn't really like the nickname, but at this company he had to be called 'White' because he wanted Laurel to work here. If he kept using the name Aaron, it would likely make Laurel suspicious and if she found out about it all, this would derail his plans.Aaron's secretary appeared at the door, looking nervous. “That… Mr. Mike wants to meet.”Aaron frowned, Mike is the CEO — for the Indonesian representative of a foreign company — who collaborates and invests in this company. Given how cold and cynical Mike looked, it was only natural that his secretary would be so nervous.“Invite him in.”“I have entered without you inviting.” Mike walked in without caring, and nodded at Aaron's secretary to make her leave and sat down on Aaron's living room sofa.
