Anya, seorang peramal tarot berusia 22 tahun, menjalani hari-harinya dengan penuh kejutan dari klien-kliennya, baik yang datang langsung maupun konsultasi online. Kehidupannya berubah ketika ia mengikuti event Imlek dan membuka booth tarot. Di sana, ia bertemu dengan El, seorang pria asal Singapura berusia 34 tahun. Setelah sesi konsultasi, El mencium tangannya dengan lembut dan berjanji akan kembali setelah urusannya selesai di Singapura. Momen itu begitu menggetarkan hati Anya, bahkan mendapatkan vision aneh. Setelah event berakhir, nomor asing mengiriminya WhatsApp—ternyata El, yang menemukan nomor Anya dari kartu nama di booth. Sementara itu, pekerjaannya sebagai peramal tarot semakin menarik ketika ia harus membaca kartu untuk kliennya. Namun, sebuah fakta mengejutkan muncul. Saat iseng mencari nama lengkap El di Google, Anya menemukan bahwa El pernah terlibat kasus hukum—dituduh menyiksa ART yang diduga meracuni minumannya. Hal ini membuatnya ragu, apakah perasaannya pada El hanya sebatas fantasi atau benar-benar sesuatu yang bisa ia harapkan. Di sisi lain, Reza, karyawan kafe yang sering menggodanya, semakin agresif mendekati Anya. Dia bahkan membayar untuk diramal secara profesional, menunjukkan keseriusannya. Godaan dari Reza semakin menjadi. Anya mulai bimbang. Apakah harus menunggu El, pria misterius dengan masa lalu yang meragukan? Ataukah ia harus memberi kesempatan pada Reza, pria yang nyata di hadapannya? Ketika seorang pria datang untuk konsultasi bisnis restoran keluarga dan fotografi, Anya malah ditawari membuka booth tarot di restoran ibunya. Selain tawaran ini, yang juga mengejutkan, Reza bukan sekadar barista biasa, melainkan anak pemilik restoran dan pewaris banyak perusahaan besar. Meskipun Anya mulai membuka diri, ia tetap dibuat terkejut ketika mengetahui bahwa Reza ternyata tinggal di apartemen yang sama dengannya—hanya beda dua lantai! Kini, dengan semakin banyaknya keterikatan antara dirinya dan Reza, serta misteri yang masih menggantung soal El, apakah Anya siap menghadapi babak baru dalam kehidupannya? Setiap hari ada kisah seru dan terkadang menggairahkan dengan banyak klien yang berkonsultasi.

Pekerja magang baru itu selalu memikirkan perusahaan. Demi menghemat biaya, dia secara diam-diam menukar lapis legit seharga 20 juta yang akan kukirimkan pada klien dengan lapis legit abal-abal seharga 19.800 dengan gratis ongkir yang dibelinya di Shopee. Demi menghemat listrik, pekerja magang itu mematikan sakelar listrik saat kami sedang bekerja lembur untuk mengejar target. Dia juga mengusulkan pada bos agar kami tidak libur pada hari kemerdekaan. Pekerja magang itu berkata dengan nada tegas, "Perusahaan nggak membayar orang-orang pemalas. Kurasa hari kemerdekaan adalah saat yang terbaik untuk meningkatkan kinerja. Aku mengusulkan agar semua orang kerja lembur secara cuma-cuma, sebagai bentuk pengabdian tanpa pamrih pada perusahaan." Para karyawan yang jabatannya rendah langsung menggerutu. Aku angkat bicara mewakili semua orang untuk menolak usulannya. Akan tetapi, dia secara terang-terangan menuduhku memperkaya diri sendiri dan menyarankan pada bos agar memecatku. Anehnya, bos justru menyetujuinya. Oke, aku ingin lihat bagaimana perusahaan ini berjalan tanpa diriku.

“We ain't divorced yet, Gabriella and you are already cheating. Is this why you wanted a divorce? Cutting me off from your business? Just to bring in someone and you didn't even do that alone but my uncle? Doing shit with my uncle?” My eyes widened more and more until I understood what was happening. For three years, Gabriella thought she had it all, a loyal husband, a growing interior design business, and a best friend she’d known since college living under their roof “just until she got back on her feet.” When her friend announced a surprise pregnancy, Gabriella celebrated, until she discovered the father was her own husband. The betrayal slices deeper when Gabriella learns the affair began long before the baby, and worse, her husband signed over half of their joint properties to the friend in secret. Now publicly humiliated and privately devastated, Gabriella refuses to be the woman who begs to be chosen. Divorce is not just a choice, it’s survival. Enter Aidan Voss, her newest client: a reclusive billionaire known for designing luxury hotels and for ruthlessly dismantling the competition. He’s charming, calculated, and hiding scars of his own. He offers her a high-stakes design contract that would put her business back on the map, but his interest in her is anything but professional. What she didn't know was that the newest client was her ex-husband's uncle. But Gabriella made a vow: never to lose herself in a man again. Not even one who seems to see past the ruins she hides behind polished smiles. And certainly not one who might just be planning revenge on the man who broke her, because Aidan has his own unfinished business with her ex-husband.

I had been with the company for eleven years. One day, the boss’ son was abruptly planted as my immediate superior. In order to establish his power, he started to humiliate me. He splashed coffee on my face in front of our client. “Why are you serving our most prestigious client this nasty drink? You’re embarrassing the company!” I was furious. However, I held my anger back for the sake of the company. During our townhall meeting, he threw my proposal to the floor. “We’re not an old folks’ home. We don’t take care of useless pieces of shit like you.” I did not leave the next day. Instead, I asked my personal assistant to publish a notice on the digital display at our office building. [Due to the tenant’s unstable emotions, the lease on the 17th floor of this office building will not be renewed when it expires next month.]

My wife was gone for 6 months on a business trip. The day she returned, however, she was not alone. Hand in hand, my wife showed up with her lover—my client. This was not even the worst part—she was also 3 months' pregnant. My client, in all his beer-bellied arrogance, hurled the contract at my feet, smirking. "Mr. Carter, your wife has gone to so much trouble for this partnership. Truth be told, I would never, not even in a million years, have agreed to partner with you if it wasn't for her!" My wife caressed her pregnant belly and said smugly, "I was the one who successfully got Mr. Lewis' business! I'll let you have it, though, as long as you agree to get a divorce!" I tore the contract into shreds and roared, "You want a divorce? Fine! I'll give it to you, but I'll never sign this!"
