Cafe 24 Hours

I can't believe that my online boyfriend is actually my boss, Yoel Gilmore, who refutes me at all times during my work hours! So, I purposefully complain on the chat app, saying that my "boss" wants me to burn the midnight oil just to get a proposal done immediately. Almost immediately, I see my company's group chat updating with a new message that says, "A one-day extension has been given." Afterward, I claim that I "want to quit my job because the food at the cafeteria sucks". On the very same day, the company makes a decision to increase the cafeteria meals' portions without hiking up the price. I'm also given an increase in bonus. In the end, I say I want to break up with him because I can't hug him in real life. But I end up getting taken to the CEO's office, where I hear him telling me in a choked-up tone, "I'll let you hug and kiss me. Can we please not break up?"

Dikelilingi oleh tiga laki-laki tampan? Siapa sih yang tidak mau? Apalagi mereka udah mapan juga umur yang cukup untuk menikah. Semua impian para perempuan itu ada di dalam kriteria ketiga laki-laki tersebut. Tapi apa jadinya kalau ternyata ketiganya hanya mementingkan satu perempuan yang menyita seluruh perhatian mereka. Raika Catur Wiharja, seorang perempuan berumur 24 tahun yang sudah menjomblo selama dua tahun. Punya tiga kakak laki-laki tampan yang sudah mapan, tapi jomblo akut lebih dari ngenes karena ingin melihat adik bungsunya menikah terlebih dahulu. "Pokoknya kita nggak akan nikah sebelum Adek nikah duluan.” Itulah kira-kira kalimat yang terdengar seperti sumpah yang diucapkan kakak sulungnya dan disetujui oleh kedua kakaknya yang lain. Dan sang adik bungsu (sedikit) galau oleh sumpah konyol tersebut. Bagaimana bisa dia menikah duluan kalau setiap calon tambatan hati yang datang justru ditodong sederet cobaan oleh ketiga kakaknya?

My mother was a traitor. To my pack, I am no better. I'm used to being overlooked. I've been unwanted from the time I was born, and my pack, River Crest, made it abundantly clear every chance they could that I was not welcome. No one and nowhere was safe. I've spent my entire life alone, with no family, no friends, and now, no mate. At 24 years old, unmated and unwanted, I've accepted that I must be one of the mateless. Wretched, forsaken wolves who are cursed to live out their lives alone. Or worse. The legends and histories claim that being a mateless wolf is worse than death. They suggest choosing a mate and forming a bond before madness sets in or the pack rejects me. But I've been rejected. I'm used to the feeling. I thrive in it. Because the more they push me away, the less pain and humiliation I have to face. If I can make it another year unmated, I could face banishment, and I'll finally be free. That's my goal. And I'll be damned if I let anyone get in my way. Even my mate.
