View MoreSeharusnya hari ini Shanum sedang memilih warna lipstik untuk akad.
Seharusnya, setelah ini ada kata ‘sah’ menggema kepalanya. Namun, realita justru menamparnya dengan cara yang paling menyakitkan. “Kita putus.” Hanya dua kata itu yang keluar dari mulut Elzio. Singkat, tanpa beban, seolah waktu tiga tahun yang mereka habiskan tidak lebih dari sekadar kontrak bulanan. “M–maksud kamu?” Mata Shanum berkaca-kaca, menahan badai di dadanya. “Nesya hamil dan aku harus tanggung jawab.” Dunia Shanum runtuh seketika. Nesya adalah sahabatnya sendiri. Pengkhianatan ganda itu membuat telapak tangan Shanum mengepal hingga kukunya memutih. Banyak pertanyaan terus bergumul di benaknya. Bagaimana bisa? “Makanya kamu tuh gak usah sok suci. Buktinya Nesya mau ‘main’ sama aku dan sekarang hamil anakku.” Ucapan Elzio dari sebulan lalu kembali terngiang, menusuk tanpa ampun. Gila! Benar-benar gila! Shanum tidak ingat sejak kapan gelas ketiga itu habis. Atau keempat. Yang ia tahu, kepalanya terasa ringan—terlalu ringan untuk perempuan yang sebulan lalu kehilangan tunangan, sahabat, dan masa depan sekaligus. Saat ia hendak pulang dari bar untuk meluapkan emosi dan tangisnya, nama bosnya terpampang di layar ponselnya. Ngapain juga sang bos mengganggunya malam ini? “Ya, Pak? Ada apa?” ujarnya seraya berdeham setelah ponsel menempel pada daun telinga. Namun, matanya masih mengerjap kecil. Menyadarkan dirinya sebelum sadar suaranya tak terdengar. Berpacu dengan musik di belakangnya. “Belum pulang?” sahut pria itu di seberang telepon. “Belum, Pak,” jawab Shanum singkat. Lalu, dengan sedikit jeda, ia menambahkan, “Ada apa ya, Pak, hubungi malam-malam begini? Setahu saya, kerjaan saya sudah selesai.” Beberapa detik hening. Lalu, terdengar helaan napas singkat dari seberang. Shanum mengernyit samar. Pipi hangatnya ia tepuk pelan, berusaha tetap sadar. Ucapannya barusan … aman, ‘kan? Tidak akan membuat bosnya murka, ‘kan? “Tolong ambilkan flashdisk hitam di laci meja saya,” ujar sang bos akhirnya. Nadanya tegas, khas dirinya. “Antarkan ke Cafe Delonix. Setengah jam dari sekarang.” Lalu telepon itu diputuskan sepihak. Bosnya— agak gila ya? Menyuruh sesuka hati tanpa peduli ini jam berapa! Namun mau tak mau, ia menuruti sambil memegang kepalanya yang sudah berat. Perjalanan ke kantor terasa sangat aneh. Lampu jalan memanjang seperti garis-garis cair. Lift naik terlalu lambat, atau mungkin kepalanya yang terlalu cepat berputar. Shanum bersandar di dinding, memejamkan mata sesaat. Satu bulan lalu dia perempuan waras. Sekarang? Dia memenuhi perintah bos di tengah malam dengan sisa alkohol di darahnya. “Keren,” gumamnya lirih sambil terkekeh sendiri. “Hidup aku keren banget.” Pintu lift terbuka. Kantor lantai atas sunyi. Terlalu sunyi sampai langkah sepatunya sendiri terdengar memalukan. Shanum membuka pintu ruang kerja Michael dengan kartu akses, lalu menutupnya pelan—seolah ruangan itu bisa marah kalau dibanting. “Oke. Fokus. Flashdisk hitam. Laci meja.” Dia mendekat, membuka laci satu per satu. Isinya rapi. Terlalu rapi untuk pria yang, entah kenapa, selalu membuatnya gugup bahkan sebelum ia mabuk. “Flashdisk … flashdisk …,” gumamnya, matanya menyipit, kepalanya miring sedikit. Dan di laci terakhir, “Aha … ketemu! Ini yang kucari!” Shanum menarik flashdisk hitam itu, lalu menghela napas kecil. Selesai. Harusnya selesai. Namun saat ia berdiri dan berbalik— Langkahnya terhenti. Di belakang kursi kerja Michael, di lantai berlapis karpet gelap itu, ada sesuatu yang … tidak seharusnya ada. Shanum mengerjap. “… hah?” Dia melangkah mendekat, sedikit sempoyongan, lalu menunduk. Celana dalam. Abu-abu. Bahan kelihatan mahal. Dan—Shanum menelan ludah— Besar. Bukan besar biasa di bagian depannya, tapi …. Besar yang bikin kepalanya mendadak kosong. Otaknya haus pelarian, mulai merancang skenario yang tidak masuk akal. Ia menggeleng kecil, mengenyahkan pikiran liarnya terhadap bosnya. Buru-buru, Shanum menarik flashdisk lalu diselipkan ke tas kecilnya. Namun, tangannya berhenti saat melihat kain abu-abu itu masih ada di genggamannya. Wajah Shanum terasa terbakar. Bayangan Michael yang selama ini hanya ia lihat sebagai atasan yang otoriter, kini berubah menjadi sosok predator yang memenuhi fantasinya. Tiga tahun bersama kekasihnya, Shanum bahkan tidak pernah membayangkan hal seekstrim ini. Namun, pengkhianatan Elzio seolah memutus urat malu dan kewarasannya dalam semalam. Shanum bergegas keluar dari ruangan CEO. Efek alkohol yang tadi sempat ia coba tekan, kini justru terasa semakin menguasai sarafnya. Dengan napas yang sedikit memburu, ia berjalan sempoyongan. Sisa-sisa pening di kepalanya membuat jarak yang dekat itu terasa sangat jauh, membuatnya terus menggerutu. Sampai di sana, Shanum melangkah masuk dengan sisa tenaga yang ada. Matanya yang sayu berpendar, mencari meja nomor 3 yang diucapkan bosnya. “Nah, itu dia!” tunjuknya saat menemukan sosok bosnya. Michael sedang meeting dengan kolega saat Shanum mendaratkan tubuhnya di sofa empuk, terlihat cukup kasar. Ia duduk dengan posisi yang agak doyong. Dengan gerakan yang agak ceroboh, Shanum merogoh tasnya, meletakkan flashdisk di atas meja kayu. “Ini flashdisk-nya, Pak!” Michael yang sedang tertawa sambil menikmati minuman dengan koleganya, terhenti sejenak saat melihat kedatangan sang sekretaris yang tampak kurang professional. Aura dominannya sangat kentara. Saat ia mencium bau alkohol dari mulut Shanum, ia menegur lirih, “Kamu— mabuk?” “Dikit, Pak! Hanya 3 gelas whisky!” Shanum mengangguk tipis. Dia mengakui mabuk tiga gelas, tapi dia menunjukkan 5 jari. “Kamu ini! Bisa-bisanya mabuk!” Desisan lirih yang keluar dari bibir bosnya membuat dia grogi. Apalagi, paha mereka kini saling bersentuhan, membuatnya resah, gelisah dan membuatnya sangat tidak nyaman. Setelah meeting selesai, Michael membawa Shanum keluar menuju parkiran. Dia agak kesal lantaran sekretarisnya yang tak pernah mabuk, kini justru menenggak alkohol yang cukup banyak. Rasa penasaran menghantui benak Michael. Apa yang terjadi dengannya? Sampai di parkiran, kondisi Shanum makin teler. Gadis itu menempel pada Michael, membuatnya risih. “Pulang aja sana, kayaknya kamu gak baik-baik aja,” ucap Michael setelah melepaskan cengkeramannya pada pergelangan tangan Shanum. “Hm.” Shanum mengangguk patuh. Baru juga lima langkah, ia nyaris terjatuh. Michael berdecak pelan, lalu menghampirinya, “Ceroboh!” Takut sekretarisnya melakukan tindakan impulsif, ia bawa Shanum menuju ke mobilnya. Begitu ia meletakkannya, Shanum justru menariknya dan tubuh mereka berbenturan. “Aw! Sakit, Pak!” rintih Shanum sambil memegang dahinya yang baru saja bertubrukan dengan dada bidang sang bos. Di sisi lain, Michael tidak menanggapi rintihan itu. Ia justru tertegun kaku. Saat Shanum kehilangan keseimbangan, isi tote bag miliknya tercecer di karpet mobil. Di antara tumpukan barang yang berhamburan itu, samar-samar Michael melihat pemandangan yang mustahil. Bukannya marah, Michael justru penasaran. Lalu, Michael dekatkan wajahnya ke telinga Shanum yang masih mematung, berbisik dengan suara rendah, menggetarkan jiwa lawan bicaranya. “Kamu—sejak kapan senakal ini?”In the study, both Helen and Jasmine were present. Elijah would naturally not let James over. In his eyes, James was on Thiago's side. At this point, the father and son were almost entirely at odds. It seemed that ever since Cynthia, Thiago's biological mother, committed suicide, they were left with a relationship in name only. The chasm between them, now aggravated by Kira, was exactly what Helen wanted to see. Only when they were at loggerheads, each on their own side, could she take advantage of the chaos and profit from the Anderson Group! Even if Elijah was the father of this illegitimate child, what did it matter? “I called you over to inform you of something.” Elijah, with a cold face, sat on the sofa and casually threw a freshly printed appointment letter in front of Thiago, “I have decided to officially hire Cedric as the legal advisor of the Anderson Group, also as the head of the legal department. This appointment will be issued first thing tomorrow morning. I have
Whenever Kira showed up, it was as if a tornado had swept through the Anderson family, leaving nothing but chaos and discord in its wake. Kira didn’t have the time or the inclination to explain herself to James, believing that the truth would eventually come to light. Besides, she had already had a taste of Cedric’s character from William and Elizabeth. If he could pull strings to get Jasmine out of a sticky situation, it meant he had taken care of any potential threats, Even if she knew that he had framed Kevin, the police had already closed the case and it was not likely to be reopened. Cedric’s smile could be as charming as a gentleman, but his actions were as treacherous as a snake in the grass. James, on the other hand, had no intention of making things difficult for her, After all, he trusted her. He had seen her genuine, golden heart. And if he couldn’t trust Amelia, who else could he trust in this world? Kira personally wheeled James back to his room, with Thiago followi
Kira could feel the heat radiating from Thiago's palm, wave after wave washing over her skin. She thought, “Crazy man! What’s gotten into you again? Take off your dirty hand!” As if sensing her attempt to break free, the man’s fingers nearly crushed her shoulder, gripping her with a force that felt like they were fused together. The sight of the former husband and wife being so intimate startled everyone! Only James, their grandfather, sported a surprised yet relieved grin. His previously suppressed mood instantly blossomed, his mouth agape with joy. He thought, “Oh my! Have Amelia and Thiago gotten back together? But Amelia doesn’t seem to be too pleased, does she?” Well, whether it’s relentless pursuit or forced courtship, his grandson’s thick skull finally seems to have a crack of understanding! Any progress in their relationship was worth celebrating with fireworks! Kira, having had enough, took advantage of the distraction. She slowly lifted her foot and stomped down hard.
A powerful retort from Kira made Cedric feel as though his mask of pretense was ripped off, exposing the shameful title of an ungrateful man hovering over his head Kira thought, “Wishing to distance yourself from the Hamilton, are you? Alright. But I will make sure to stir the pot. Your secrets hidden in the dark, I’ll drag them out into the light!” Cedric’s lips tightened, his face still adorned with a smile, but his gaze on Kira held no trace of mirth. Instead, it held an icy chill. Was this the woman Jason was head over heels in love with? Pampered, arrogant, sharp–tongued! To bring such a troublesome woman into the Dempsey household would only cause chaos. Peaceful days would be a thing of the past! The atmosphere became tense and awkward. Elijah thought Kira was nothing short of a disaster. Every time she appeared, a storm was sure to follow! Cedric’s abilities as a lawyer were undisputed, and Elijah had always wanted him on his side. But he didn’t know about this connect
Right now, in the office of the general manager of Hamilton Hotel, the atmosphere was heavy.Kira stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her hands clasped behind her back. Her elegant and beautiful figure radiated an authority that no one could challenge.“Who told you to release that video
Jason placed the necklace directly in front of Jasmin, his eyes cold as if he was conducting some business matter.“Jasmin, is this the necklace you lost?”Jasmin took the necklace and let out a scream, “Ah! My necklace, what happened to it? Who did this?”Everyone’s eyes were on the necklace. The
The hotel lobby was already buzzing with curious guests.“Dear guest, please calm down. You’re a respectable person. Making a scene here doesn’t look good on you. We can discuss any issues in the meeting room.” The lobby manager was desperately trying to calm down Jasmin.“So, even high-status gues
Kira didn’t bat an eyelid.She was well aware of Helen's two-faced nature. All the information sent a clear message to Elizabeth: 'not only was she dumped by Thiago, but she was also a poor girl scrambling for a rich man to survive.' was actually what she meant by her words.A wicked smirk crept u
