Niko reached for his phone on the nightstand, trying to find it as it had been vibrating non-stop since morning. With half-closed eyes, he fumbled for his flat device and answered without checking the caller's name."Hello, Young Master, this is extremely urgent. You need to leave your room because we have an important meeting with a client today. I know you've been busy with Elina, but you mustn't forget your schedule," Daniel said from the other end, his voice holding a hint of irritation due to Niko's elusive nature the previous day."Yes, just come in. I'm still half asleep. If there's something you need to say, go ahead. But can't it wait until tomorrow or the day after? I want to be with Elina; I can't bear to leave her," Niko mumbled, his voice unclear as he was barely awake."We can't postpone it any longer, Young Master. I've already delayed it for two days, and another delay might lead to the client canceling the deal," Daniel explained, understanding Niko's sentiments."Alr

After the meeting with the client at exactly 5:00 PM, Niko and Daniel hurriedly left the meeting place."Ah, finally, it's over," Niko sighed with relief as he fastened his seatbelt, while Daniel prepared to drive his car."Young Master, after this, we'll go to the police station to file a report," he said, turning the car in the direction of their destination."Okay, I'll come along," he replied. Niko looked very tired, even though the meeting wasn't that long. He really wanted to get back to see Elina, but he couldn't skip making the report, or his life would be in danger. Lately, his life had been like something out of an action movie.Upon arriving at the police station, Niko and Daniel got out of the car and entered to meet one of the officers there. "Good evening, Mr. Niko and Mr. Daniel," he greeted them. The middle-aged officer seemed to recognize Niko and Daniel because Niko had been involved in making reports before."Good evening," Daniel shook the man's hand."Is there any

Elina had already prepared, wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. She tidied her hair in front of the mirror, making sure everything was neat. After finishing, she quickly grabbed her shoulder bag, some folders she needed to bring, and immediately rode her motorbike to the office after putting on her helmet. She hadn't been to the office for a few days because she had been taken by Niko to Malang, and she was quite sure she had left a lot of work behind and seemed to be running away from her responsibilities.She rode her motorcycle fast, and about thirty minutes later, she arrived at the office. She parked it quickly, then immediately signed the attendance sheet and entered the office, heading to her own room. However, just before reaching her office, she ran into a woman with straight shoulder-length hair. She looked a bit plump, had a tall stature, and stared sharply at Elina."Where have you been, Elina?" Rahma, her team leader, asked.Elina was nervous. She didn't know how to

While in the car on the way home, Niko remained silent, as he couldn't ask his father for an explanation with the driver present. He didn't want this issue to escalate. Niko shifted uncomfortably in his seat multiple times, while his father seemed busy with his tablet, possibly working on something, not giving Niko a chance to talk.Upon arriving home at 9:59 PM, Niko quickly got out of the car and went inside. In the living room, he stopped Arshad, who was about to enter his room, and asked directly, "Dad, what did you mean by your answer earlier?""Which answer?" Arshad inquired, trying to recall the words he had spoken during dinner with Adhitama."About considering my arranged marriage with Sheryl. Why didn't you firmly reject it, saying 'I can't' or 'It's not possible,' instead of contemplating what to say? It's as if you're okay with me marrying Sheryl. Just so you know, I will never marry her or anyone else except Elina. So, there's no need for you to think about it, and you sh

At precisely 7:00 AM, Elina's bedroom door swung open. Her father was taken aback to find a man and a woman sleeping on the same bed. His heart bristled at the sight of his daughter being with a man he didn't expect."Elina! Hurry up for breakfast!" her father shouted.That was all he said to Elina before storming out of the room, clearly displeased with Niko's presence.Niko blinked, then saw Elina sitting there with a gloomy expression. He wanted to talk to her, but she promptly got up and headed to the bathroom to wash her face. In front of the sink, Elina berated herself for being careless, allowing her father to discover her and Niko. She tugged at her hair in frustration. "Darn it. Why did Niko have to come into my room like that? My reputation is ruined in front of him," Elina muttered.Since it was already 7:10 AM, Elina decided to quickly shower and head out once she was done. She put on a black suit with a skirt, grabbed her bag, and made her way to the dining table. There,
