Karina's moving preparations are nearly 100% complete. All of her belongings have been transferred into sealed boxes and neatly arranged. Because Karina is pregnant, Zayn is concerned about her getting tired. He even dedicated a full day to help her move into the new apartment.Zayn carried the sealed boxes one by one to the car, while Karina watched and checked off her boxes to ensure everything was organized and nothing was left behind."Put this one on top, it contains my room decorations like bedside lamps and other fragile items." Karina said when she noticed Zayn carrying a box with delicate items in his hands."Alright." Zayn replied before leaving the house with the box in his hands.Selena, who had been leaning against the wall with her arms folded, approached Karina and glanced at her empty room. Only the bed, study desk, and wardrobe remained, all of which were now empty."I guess I'll be lonely from now on." Selena murmured, looking at Karina.Karina turned to Selena, appr
Karina, Zayn, and Selena finally arrived at the basement parking area of Prime Plaza Apartments, which Karina would soon occupy today. Zayn unloaded all the boxes from the trunk to make it easier for him to carry the items.Karina wanted to help Zayn carry them, but he immediately brushed her aside, saying, "No need. Let me do it. I can make several trips. You go ahead to your apartment," said Zayn."I can lift them." Karina replied."Karina, you're pregnant, and still in the first trimester. It's risky for you to carry heavy things and get exhausted. Please, don't be selfish. What's inside your body is not just you anymore, but another life." Selena responded.Finally, Karina gave in to Selena's words and no longer intended to help Zayn. "Okay," Karina replied weakly.Karina had a tendency to help others. She often felt uneasy when others helped her, especially when she couldn't help at all, like now. Sometimes that made Karina feel guilty.Fortunately, since they were now in the apa
On the first Sunday in the luxurious apartment, adorned with white marble floors and matching walls, Karina felt even more excited about her day. The 165 cm tall woman enthusiastically tied her hair back and put on a pink jacket, getting ready to go for a workout."It feels wonderful to live here. It's just that I miss Selena at the moment." Karina murmured as she zipped up her jacket and left the mirror that had been her companion while getting ready for her morning exercise on Sunday.Karina quickly took out her trusty white sports shoes and hurried towards the exit door. Before leaving, she glanced around, exploring every corner of her apartment."I think I need to buy an air freshener later from the mini-market in the main lobby." Karina muttered, finally stepping out of her apartment and heading straight to the jogging track on the 5th floor of Prime Plaza Apartment building.On the 5th floor, all the sports facilities, from the jogging track and swimming pool to the sauna, jacuz
Since it was her first move, Karina thought she needed some additional items such as floor and glass cleaners to clean her new apartment. In the end, Karina bought not only air fresheners and bottled water but also several other necessities, including food items she needed.Pushing her shopping cart, Karina occasionally rubbed her stomach and asked the baby inside, "Darling Nugget, what would you like for lunch today?" she asked her unborn child.Karina looked at various vegetables in front of her and picked broccoli, lettuce, tomatoes, and kale. She carefully selected fresh and good quality vegetables before placing them in her shopping basket."This place is called a minimarket, but it feels like a supermarket because it's so well stocked." Karina muttered, pushing her shopping cart towards the fruits section and adding bananas, mangoes, oranges, watermelons, and grapes to her cart.Feeling happy, Karina even hummed as she put the items in her cart.After finishing with vegetables,
Karina hummed with one hand holding the frying pan handle and the other busy stirring the seasoning in front of her. Her smile continued to expand as she imagined how delicious the dish she was making for the first time at home would be.After finishing stirring the newly made mushroom sauce, Karina took a spoon to taste her dish. After finding it perfectly balanced on her palate, Karina turned off her electric stove and began looking for a container.Since there wasn't much kitchenware in her new apartment, Karina finally chose to lend her plates and bowls to her new neighbor, Xavier, whom she had recently met.Karina intentionally cooked for herself and to give it to Xavier as a way to greet her new neighbor. She had even started imagining her future life in the apartment with her child."Well, it looks beautiful and appetizing." Karina murmured after placing slices of sirloin steak on a flat plate and transferring the mushroom sauce to a separate small bowl.Karina also arranged th
The loud alarm sound continued to echo throughout the room, disrupting the deep sleep of a woman. Slowly, the alarm increasingly disturbed the woman's peaceful sleep, causing her to squirm.The woman's consciousness slowly returned, and she finally fully gathered her thoughts. Her eyes, which were initially closed, instantly opened as she remembered something."Oh my goodness, what time is it?!" she exclaimed and immediately jumped out of bed, reaching for her phone that had been ringing incessantly but ignored by her.Karina's eyes widened, and her heart raced as she looked at the time displayed on her phone. She couldn't believe that it was already 8 a.m. Karina then searched for the wall clock displayed in her room."SHIT! I'M LATE!" Karina shouted and threw her phone onto the bed before rushing to the bathroom to wash her face.Karina didn't have time to take a shower because time was running out, and she had to leave for work.After brushing her teeth and washing her face, Karina
The morning meeting, led directly by the CEO named Hank Denver, finally ended. Each representative from each division returned to their respective workplaces as usual, including Karina, Viggo, and Sophia.Sophia and Karina stood at the back of the line inside the elevator, while Viggo stood in front of them."Hey, why were you late earlier?" Sophia asked in a whisper."I was working on today's tasks last night. I fell asleep and apparently didn't hear the alarm ringing." Karina replied with a sigh, regretting her carelessness.Viggo, standing in front of them, eavesdropped on the conversation between the two women standing behind him.Just as the elevator stopped on the floor of the CEO's office, Hank turned around and looked at Viggo. "I'll get off first. Thank you for the morning meeting, Mr. Viggo." Hank said, patting Viggo's shoulder.Viggo nodded his head, and Hank exited the elevator with his secretary.The elevator door closed again, taking them to the floor where the General d
At the end of the weekend, Hoshino Ruby, the Brand Ambassador of Deverell Apparel for their new summer collection, came to do a photoshoot to launch their latest product line. The photoshoot location was not far from the Deverell Apparel office, and several teams, including Karina, Viggo, and Sophia, came to oversee the photoshoot and ensure it went according to their plans."Good morning, Mr. Viggo." Karina greeted as she saw Viggo enjoying a hot cup of coffee in the morning, near the entrance of the photo studio.Viggo turned towards Karina and handed her a box containing a cup of coffee. Karina looked at it and immediately waved her hand to decline."No need to buy it for me, Sir." Karina refused."Sophia already took it, this one is for you." Viggo said, glancing towards Sophia who was engrossed in conversation with someone else.Karina was taken aback because she thought Viggo had bought the coffee specifically for her, but he had bought it for Sophia as well. She felt embarrasse
