All eyes were on a table that had just been hit hard by someone. Meanwhile, the perpetrator had moved from his seat. As if unaware of what he had just done, the man stared at the cafe patrons."Why, are you annoyed?" Barra asked in a mocking tone."Sir, what are you doing?" asked David, who was also surprised by his superior's actions. Before the GM could speak, a cafe manager approached them."Sorry, Sir. What's -""I'll pay for the damages," the man cut in with his piercing gaze. He unceremoniously asked about the damage that had been done and then transferred more than the stated amount. Silence. No one interrupted or said a word. The man walked away, followed by David after him."Let me drive," David offered, trying to take the keys out of the man's ha
Barra, who had almost entered his dream, immediately opened his eyes when he heard the scream of his ex. Boldly, Serena's hands were busy wrestling the luxury car to a stop."Oh, you are stupid. You go to sleep," Barra hissed as she swatted Serena's hand away to stop her efforts that would be in vain."Tell me where we're going!" Serena fixed her gaze on the cold eyes of the man beside her."We're going to the orphanage, but by the northern route. Not by the southern route that has to be crossed like that stupid thing you did. Never mind. You won't understand," moaned the GM who immediately turned his face away. Serena was silent for a moment. As if she was digesting what her ex had just said."Yes, Miss. Last month the government made road access to get there, the Tini Panegara bridge already has good access," explained the driver who could not bear to see t
Serena was silent for a moment as if guessing who had just shouted at this time of night. Just as she was about to open the door, a knocking sound from outside made her hurry up."Sorry, Miss for disturbing you. Was it you who shouted just now?" asked one of the staff.Serena immediately shook her head quickly, not to mention that the screeching sound was heard again.Without saying anything Serena and the officer immediately went to the source of the sound. They knocked twice on the door, but there was no response from the person inside."I'll break it down, Miss," said the security guard as he took a step towards the door.Serena's nod made the move come to fruition immediately. Both she and the officer were wide-eyed in shock afterward. A man was curled up in one corner of the room. His body was only wrapped in a towel, revea
"You're careless. Don't embarrass the company with your careless behavior," muttered the GM after wiping the noodle soup stains on the former's face. He wanted to cover up his concern because he didn't want to be read by the beautiful Serena. Barra deliberately pointed at a cameraman who was covering their activities as if the stained face could worsen the company's image."Hah, at least I don't have to yell like last night. What happens if your crazy behavior is recorded by him," sneered Serena who immediately ran away by walking towards the place where Mrs. Risa was staying. Barra was unable to counter his ex's crushing attack. So the handsome, dimpled man joined the boys. The morning
Suddenly Serena froze in her place. She remembered when she was still wearing the white and gray uniform. The period that should have been beautiful for teenagers became a frightening specter for her. Her mommy left home and a week later she found out about the news about her syndrome."Ami," Serena said without looking at her friend who started to turn to her."I...had some business and had to leave. The report is ready and please give it to me." Without hearing Ami's reply, the girl walked half-run towards the elevator doors. Her chest felt tight because she didn't know what else to say. Yes, she really felt scared at the moment.Meanwhile, in the GM's room, Ami had put down the report that Serena was supposed to give. Obviously Barra was upset and felt angry that the girl left without her permission. Although
Barra stammered for an instant. He couldn't be honest with his ex. Where was his pride? That's what was going through his mind right now. Instead of answering Serena's question, the GM put on her scary face again."You haven't done your job properly."Serena wrinkled her forehead, "Didn't I leave it with Ami?" she said defensively."I want you to explain it to me today," said the GM, not wanting to be contradicted. It was useless to argue with a superior like Barra, the girl just kept silent while staring at the road that was starting to split by the car driven by the handsome GM. Neither Serena nor Barra spoke. Both were preoccupied with their own thoughts."Get down, you're not paid to stand still," the GM ordered as their vehicle pulled into the parking lot. Serena clucked
"Serena, recently a senior artist named Adhisty has been selling well on TV. Have you seen the news?" asked Ami, who was still busy polishing her face with makeup tools.Serena paused chewing her breakfast vegetable salad. Luckily there was little food left in her mouth. She could have choked on her coworker's food."Yesterday the journalists had covered a girl wearing a leather jacket who came out of the room of the senior artist Adhisty, I'm not unfamiliar with the jacket, but it's a pity I couldn't see her face because she ran away when she was chased, they missed the trail maybe," Ami continued. Serena continued her breakfast as if she didn't hear what Ami just said.Realizing there was no response from Serena to her long chat, Ami chuckled in annoyance. The girl moved to wave her palm in front of Serena's face to make sure she wasn't chatting with someone who w
"Just turn off the television!" Barra said without looking at his ex who was on the verge of tears. The man deliberately sat behind his desk. He acted as if he didn't see how she was trying to look tough. He didn't know what to do if she cried in front of him. Obviously his defenses would collapse just like when he saw Serena lose her father two months ago. Serena sighed softly. The girl's hands began to move to organize some documents that were scattered on the table of their discussion room earlier."Meet Chef Arnold now. I want what we discussed earlier to be implemented today. Convey the results as soon as possible," said Barra, who briefly glanced at his ex."Yes, Sir," Serena said as she excused herself from his presence.
