“I still can't believe that the two of you are husband and wife,” Adze said while pointing at me and Enver.I also gave an invitation to them for the event earlier since they are also part of that but they said that they already had a personal plan so I just told them to at least attend the after-party.And we hadn't had enough drinks when they arrived so they just joined our table.Though, Lucien, Simon, and Gavin already left after staying for an only half-hour here since they still have work for tomorrow. Other employees also went home so the place is not that crowded anymore.“Correction, Adze,” I said. “Ex-husband and wife. We were already divorced and moved on from our lives.” I think I drank more than I imagined because I don’t want to say that but I couldn’t stop myself.“Really?” he asked.I nodded. “I filed for divorce and let the ferry deliver it to Enver. She is also the one who finalized it at the court.”“Oh.” He nodded. “Does it mean that you are single?”I nodded. “Sin

“We have a lot of complaints,” Art put a lot of folders on my table. “And most of them came from our customers.”I didn’t bother to take a look at that folder because I have an idea about its content. And I also didn’t bother to turn my attention to Art and I just stayed looking at my computer. “Just give it to Sir Enver,” I said. “And give a copy to Lucien.”“You are not going to do anything about it?”I sighed and this time, I turned to him. “We have to know Sir Enver and Lucien’s opinion first, Art. And if they can’t find a solution for themselves, then that is when we are going to do something, okay?”Well, I don’t want them to become too dependent on me when it comes to every problem that Raiden faces. Yes, I can do something about the complaint and make sure to stop it but if I am the one who moves, it is not going to be good at Raiden and Enver.They have to remember that I am only here for three months so they can’t count on me for everything.“Oh, right.” He took the folder a

“No! I want a high-end Anox car!” That scream greeted me as soon as I entered Raiden’s shop. There is a commotion beside the counter where Enver was still talking with an old woman. And from what I heard I think she is one of the customers that keep insisting on buying Anox cars even though we have a policy regarding that specific car.“Are you not ashamed of what you are doing?” the old woman said. “I am one of your regular customers here, right? Every time you launch a new model or brand of car, I am one of the first customers who buy it to support you. But what the hell are you doing now?”“Madam, we appreciate your support to our company,” Enver said with a calm voice, though I can see in his eyes that his patience is at its limit. “We really do. But those high-end Anox cars are here for a purpose. We cannot sell it to you. I am sorry—”“Shut up!” she screamed again. “I don’t care about any of that. I already said what I want and you will give it to me right now!”“What is happen

“No!” Mikea firmly said after her sister explained the reason why she went to Raiden.When she arrived, we immediately entered Enver’s office and we let them talk to each other first. We don’t want to meddle for now, especially when it is a family affair.It might anger Mikea even though we just want to help.So, we decided to hear them out first and let Michaella talk about all her reasons why she keeps insisting on working. At the same time, let Mikea talk about why she keeps stopping her sister to work.“Dad already talked to you, right? You can’t work as long as you are still studying,” Mikea added. “Why don’t you just listen?”“Because I can see that you are struggling with the problem that I created,” Michaella answered. “It is my fault that Mom got a heart attack. So, why don’t you just let me help? At least lift this guilt that I am feeling for putting her there.”“You are a graduating student now, Micha. What if you neglect your study because of the job that you are insisting

As much as possible, I tried to work in silence. And to make sure of that, I never let myself stay in the same room as Enver.And whenever there are jobs that need to work outside the office, I immediately volunteered to do that just to get away from him.Yes, I won’t deny it. I am happy to be with him again. It is nice to see and be with him again after five years.But whenever I stared at him, I suddenly remembered everything that happened before. The cheating. The lies. Those times when he went home late and drunk.It was too painful for me to keep remembering those times.So, for the sake of our job, I decided to distance myself from him.“You are avoiding him.”I almost fell from the chair when Ferry and Castiel suddenly appeared in front of me. “W-what the hell?” I roamed my eyes around and saw Dashiel at the counter. “He called you?” I turned my eyes back at them.Since I don’t really have anything to do at the office, I told Enver that I would take a half-day from work today a
