They were already in bed by now when William asked."To meet your family?" Vera asked again. "Who?"She remembered that William had no family anymore. Their marriage itself, not meeting William's family first."Actually, I still have a grandfather. He's been living in a nursing home all this time." William told according to his grandfather's instructions."Living in a nursing home?" Vera was quite surprised. "Why didn't you ever tell me you had a grandfather? We never even visited him, Will."William scratched his head. "It's, I think, umh ...." Ah, damn. This grandfather of his was making William look bad in front of Vera."Are yo

The next day, while William was still at home, Evan informed him that he had finalized the building and decorations. They would be working on it soon."Sir, regarding the décor that you requested, is there anything you want to change or is it fixed according to the previous concept you gave?" Evan asked to make sure."I think it's just right." William had no plans to change or add. He asked for the building to be decorated with lots of flowers dominated by white. For everything else, the warm colors matched Vera's expectations.William prepared this all as a surprise. That's why he couldn't invite Vera to discuss further about how the building would be decorated.

"We'll have to keep waiting until this is over, Sarah," Amanda said in an annoyed tone. "But after this, I'm going to talk to Vera. I want to know where William got the money for all this. It's not a simple thing." Sarah, Jaiden, and Amanda then sat back down at their table, still in a state of shock. They saw William and Vera walking in the center of the room, talking and laughing with the important guests. They looked happy and confident, as if this was something they did every day. They waited curiously for the party to end. When the party ended, Amanda immediately looked for Vera. She wanted to get answers to all the questions that were on her mind.

With permission, she got up from the table and walked towards the toilet, leaving Amanda and Jaiden still sitting in astonishment and confusion. In the

"Now, let's give the bride and groom a round of applause!" an emcee exclaimed, breaking Jaiden's reverie. The audience clapped, flooding the room with roars and cheers. "Kiss, let's kiss!" shouted one of the guests, making the atmosphere even more boisterous. Vera's face turned red with embarrassment, while William could only scratch the back of his head.

That morning, Vera was busy checking files at her desk. Suddenly, someone placed a cup of hot tea in front of her. Vera turned around and only managed to say "Thank you-" thinking that it was an office boy. However, she was surprised to see that it was Jhonas, Vera's own boss."Mr. Rivery?" Vera asked with furrowed brows, surprised. "Why are you giving me this tea?"Jhonas didn't answer Vera's question. Instead, he sat down in front of her without asking permission and started talking. "Vera, why didn't you invite me to your big party last week?" asked Jhonas, his voice full of disappointment.Vera was surprised to hear the question. She felt bad and honestly replied, "I didn't expect such a big party, Sir. I didn't think it would be such a big party."Jhonas seemed to understand, but he still felt disappointed."I'm sorry again, Sir," Vera said, her voice full of regret. "I'll be honest, I didn't expect William to throw such a big party. I thought he was just joking."Vera sighed, fe

William waited outside the office building in his car. When he saw Vera coming out of the door, he immediately opened the car door for her. Vera got in with a somber-looking face, different from her usual."Is your boss bothering you again?" William asked, trying to understand Vera's mood. He knew that Vera sometimes felt pressured by Jhonas' rather annoying attitude."No," Vera replied, staring out the window. "I'm fine, it's nothing." Her voice was flat, trying to mask her anxiety.William watched Vera. He knew that something was bothering Vera, even though she didn't want to admit it. "If you're fine, why do you look so glum?" he asked again, this time in a more serious tone.Vera sighed, then turned to look at William. "I'm just feeling a little tired, William, that's all. There are some things in the office that make me feel uncomfortable, but it's no big deal. I can handle it."Actually, it was the staff in her office about the branded bags. Vera really didn't mind, but she coul
