“Um, sorry. Are you the one named Emily?”Nicholas, who had just arrived at the dinner place that had been prepared by his right hand, immediately approached a woman in a black dress who was already sitting gracefully on a chair.Yes, indeed this place is open space. Precisely on the shoreline which is very beautiful during the day or night of course. Small lights are installed to illuminate the atmosphere, as helpers to illuminate the moon and stars at night."Have you forgotten me, sir? I met you at the bar that night."Nicholas was silent for a moment, he tried to remember. It was a problem considering he wasn't an expert at all. Nicholas is a forgetful man who will easily forget everything that exists."Oh yes? Okay." Nicholas sat down while unbuttoning his jacket, then he smiled. "I'm sorry if my right-hand man prepared a dinner you might not like.""I like it. Your right hand seems to really understand how to pamper women. Look at everything arranged very sweet and neat.Nichola

“I think you have a pretty good sense of humor, Emelly. I'm quite amazed by your efforts to make me laugh or break the ice. Thank you very much."“You know what, Nick. I'm not kidding. How can a woman's heart problems become material to be joked about. Of course I didn't do that for a joke. I say that from the bottom of my heart.”“But unfortunately I don't take it as a serious thing. I mean how can you say you want to be my wife when we ourselves are meeting for the first time and this is our second meeting. There are still so many things you don't know about me, Emelly. I'm just a man you may know as the wealthy Mr. Steave. Honestly, behind it all you misjudged me. Don't think things that are completely out of the ordinary and want to make me want to laugh."Emelly was silent, her beautiful eyes looking deeply at Nicholas. Nicholas chose to look away, compared to him having to meet Emelly's gaze which made Nicholas even more emotional.It's nothing, Nicholas just felt that his name

"Why don't you invite Nicholas to have dinner with us, Ariana?" Maria—Ariana's mother spoke in the middle of slicing the steak on her plate, putting on the most serene face the world has ever seen.Meanwhile, Ariana, and her father immediately looked at Maria. Both of them could not stop thinking about a sentence that was issued by Maria at this time.“Are you kidding me? Or have you gone mad? How could Mother make me invite Nicholas to our house for dinner? Even we just officially divorced, Mom.”“Isn't Nicholas your ex-husband? I think it would be really bad and not good if ex-wife and ex-husband had a bad relationship, drifting away from each other, right?”“Did you think Ariana and Nicholas had a good relationship so far, Maria? And also do you think our treatment of Nicholas is good enough that we should invite him over for dinner?”Maria then glanced at her husband with a cold gaze, then she put down her knife and fork.“Erm,” Maria began to clear her throat. “I know if our rela

"Sir.""Hmm?""There is an invitation for you?"“If it is an invitation to meet the ladies I will decline it. Don't you know that my life is very complicated with all this office work?”Erick chuckled to himself hearing this, he himself couldn't imagine how it could be that so many women kept pushing him to just get acquainted with Nicholas."This time it's an invitation from your former family, sir.""Who?" asked Nicholas in the end. Who wouldn't be curious if Erick called that 'former family'.“The Gerards.”"Have they gone mad?"Erick just shrugged his shoulders, while Nicholas shook his head perfectly.“I only know that this is an invitation to dinner. At first I didn't know if it was Mrs. Gerard who came. Yes, it was Mrs Gerard who came to the lobby earlier. Mrs Gerard tried to break in, as she didn't have an access card for employees Mrs Gerard was stopped by security, and unfortunately I was there at the time. because I don't want our company to be considered as an immodest com

"So it was your unemployed friend who ruined your entire career, Erdward?" asked one of his friends Erdward while the two were sitting in a cafe.Erdward, who was still feeling irritated because Nicholas' actions had managed to destroy his business, could only nod his head perfectly. Even at any time, it feels like Erdward wants to avenge the hurt he has felt all this time. How could I not, according to Erdward Nicholas it was too much. Nicholas had done everything that was beyond Erdward's patience.“I don't understand at all if that jerk is actually a rich man. During this time he lived with his wife as an unemployed person who does not know himself. In fact, he often borrowed money from me to pay for finding a job. Who would have thought that now it had become like this, and the most annoying thing was how could he own a big company and make everything annoying? Becoming the main investor in this company and threatening the main director to destroy my career.”"I can barely believe

Nicholas could only hold his breath perfectly, standing in front of the house with a tall white fence. The house that was now so foreign to him, and the house that was maybe so very familiar to him. Or even, Nicholas himself often calls this at home. but alas, who cares? Nicholas didn't think any human would care about those memories. memories when Nicholas was a stupid human who would accept all the things that were treated by all the humans who owned the house, only after the truth was revealed who would believe? Even a stupid mouse would never believe everyone in that house. fake smiles, fake friendliness, fake attitude, and even the love they offer is fake. There is no authenticity and reality, everything seems to be useless. It was only the tightness that was slicing his chest again and the tightness that made Nicholas feel the pain in that part of his heart return again and the wound that had almost dried up began to be torn apart again."Unlucky!" muttered Nicholas.What's with

“Hey, Nick. Have you come? Trust me, we've been waiting for you for a long time."Nicholas turned around, stopping his conversation with his cousin Ariana. The figure of an old man appeared from behind the door of the Gerard family residence and Nicholas knew who it was. Nicholas held his breath perfectly, after the divorce this was indeed the first time Nicholas had come face to face with people who used to hate him and now their gazes changed with their attitudes. seem so very friendly and … hypocritical.At least that's how Nicholas feels now, because after all he will never be able to understand and understand how there are humans like them. A figure who is quite selfless and shameless has two faces that can't be denied and is left with everything there is."Please come in, why are you still standing and chatting with that man without work? You know your mother-in-law, I mean your ex-mother-in-law has prepared a delicious meal for you.”Nicholas smiled wryly. A good meal for him?

“Didn't I tell you to stop putting yourselves down, and not to take this all too seriously? You guys are really outrageous. Don't you think how I feel? I feel really so ashamed, you guys embarrassed our family, Father, Mother.”“Shut up, Ariana. We just want to be nice to Nicholas, of course after everything that's happened. More than that there is nothing else, after all Nicholas has a lot of good things that we should take advantage of. Who knows if we do good, Nicholas will do good too. but it seems like Nicholas is a vengeful man.”Hearing her father's words, Ariana then rolled her eyes with pride. Ariana had never thought that her father, up to this point, had so much hope for something that didn't make sense."Come on, it's pointless arguing with you guys. It's no use at all.”Ariana decided to leave the house, and she found that Nicholas was still standing there. On the side of the road looking at the moon and stars. It was enough to make Ariana feel awkward then she cleared he

Nicolas could only sit in contemplation with his chin propped up, all the thoughts overflowing in his heart and even up to this point he felt like he didn't know what to do. The expression on his face was really very flat and Nicolas felt that this was one of the things that made him have to do something to express all his emotions and also forget everything that should have been forgotten in the first place. Nicolas even thought that maybe there were some things that could be done well and some things that couldn't be done well. Until then, his wife was a truly terrible figure or even now Nicolas didn't deserve to call her his wife. Yes, that woman was just his ex-wife who had made him a figure who was so stupid beyond anything else and even Nicolas felt that now he was saved by this very terrible woman. Nicolas then took a very long breath. There were several things he had to think about carefully. Right now, Nicolas was still trying to remain silent.“Sir, I never thought that in t

"I don't think we have any business at all and I think that whatever happened in the past is not something we should remember until this moment. After all the problem is who are you? You're just a woman I happened to help who even up to this point doesn't have a single reason to remember you. So I think your coming here just makes things worse."The woman smiled again then she took several bills from her bag then she put the money in Nicolas' palm. And of course this was quite surprising for Nicolas, who at that time had no idea that he would get money from this woman.“If you really don't care about debts of gratitude then I want to return this money to you. You gave me some service at the bar a while ago so I guess I should return what you gave me. "Because it's the same as you, because if there is someone who doesn't know each other, I really don't want to owe a favor."The woman immediately left after leaving Nicolas speechless and Nicolas didn't even have time to return the money
