Bill really kept his promise to Joana. He really didn't allow Joana to drive herself when she was able to go to work. In fact, Bill even picked Joana up at her apartment room while bringing her porridge for breakfast."Oh my God, Bill. Why are you going to all this trouble? I'm fine now," Joana told Bill."The doctor said you should watch your diet. Eat healthy and natural food," Bill said as he placed the porridge he had brought on the dining table in Joana's apartment.Joana had actually prepared a simple meal for breakfast this morning. Grilled sausages and packaged bacon that she also grilled, as well as a plate of pasta. Joana didn't know if the food she was making at the moment was considered healthy and natural or not."I will eat the food you made this morning. You eat the porridge I made," Bill said as he sat down and pulled the plate containing the breakfast menu that Joana had cooked.Inevitably, Joana also sat in front of Bill and stared unwillingly at the results of her c
For a week now, Bill and Joana have been going to and from work together. They have now become closer to each other than ever before. Although each of them still hides their feelings and hides behind the wall of friendship, but the eyes that see their closeness can certainly judge if they have feelings for each other. It's only a matter of time before they are truly united.Bill himself still insists that he and Joana are only suitable as friends. But he did not hesitate to put his best friend's head on his shoulder when Joana was tired. He also did not hesitate to hug Joana when she was feeling depressed. And there were many more light touches that Bill did with affection. I don't know if there really is such a friendship between a woman and a man.Just like this time, after returning from the office, Bill immediately cleaned up and dressed neatly because he already had an appointment with Joana to have dinner together. Bill's appearance at this time looked more casual. He wears jean
Since spending time together at the beach the other day, Bill and Joana's relationship has grown closer. They haven't revealed their feelings yet, but anyone who has seen their interactions will be able to guess that they are more than just friends.Bill also no longer keeps his distance from Joana at the office. His attitude has turned warmer and is no longer worried about the rumors that might develop. The man seems resigned if later his relationship with Joana will develop towards a romantic relationship. Bill has no longer denied his feelings for Joana, although so far he has not explicitly admitted it.Everything was going smoothly and felt so stable for Bill and Joana, until one morning, Bill saw a woman he really didn't want to see in the lobby of his office. Who else but Miranda."Bill!" Miranda immediately exclaimed as she got up from her seat when she saw Bill appear."What is this woman doing here?" Bill muttered with a slightly furrowed brow. His steps paused for a moment,
Bill finally went down to the ground floor and looked towards the lobby from a distance. Sure enough, the person the receptionist was referring to was Miranda. His ex-wife was sitting on a sofa near the reception desk. I don't know what Miranda wanted at the moment, but it was definitely an annoying thing for Bill.Irritated, Bill let out a rough breath. He knew very well what Miranda was like. She was very persistent when she wanted something. It seemed like Bill had to relent a little and obey Miranda's wishes to talk to each other alone, although of course Bill really didn't want to do that. If left unchecked, it was not impossible that Miranda would make a scene in that place. That would definitely not be good for Bill and the office atmosphere."Please postpone my schedule this afternoon for two hours. I have an important matter to attend to immediately," Bill then asked his secretary over the phone. He couldn't afford to delay any longer. His business with Miranda had to be reso
Joana couldn't believe what she was doing right now. She was sitting in her car parked in front of a restaurant looking out the window. Like someone who has nothing to do. In fact, there was a meeting scheduled with a client about thirty minutes from now.A few moments ago, Joana accidentally caught Bill walking along with Miranda from behind. Feeling curious, Joana followed the two people secretly. For some reason, there was a feeling of displeasure in Joana's heart seeing Bill interact with his ex-wife again, especially when Bill seemed to open the car door for Miranda. Joana's feelings were getting hotter to see it.Therefore, Joana impulsively got into her own car and drove the vehicle to follow where Bill and Miranda went. Until finally, the stalking ended in front of a restaurant. Apparently Bill invited his ex-wife to have lunch together. Of course, this made Joana's feelings even more uncertain."I must be crazy," Joana muttered as she closed her eyes for a moment. Why would s
Although the day had passed, Joana was still feeling very uncomfortable. The memory of Bill walking hand in hand with Miranda kept flashing in her head. Joana was jealous, it was inevitable. Although Joana tried as much as possible to think sane and prioritize logic, but still her feelings dominated."Mom, today we have an important meeting with one of our overseas clients. It's scheduled in an hour. Mr. Bill will be accompanying you," Joana's secretary informed her.Joana nodded in understanding. She remembered the meeting and had asked Bill to accompany her long ago. However, yesterday's events had made her a little reluctant to meet with Bill. At least, until the turmoil in her chest subsided a bit.If today's client wasn't one of the most important clients, Joana might have asked her secretary to postpone the meeting. But she couldn't do that since there was a big project to be discussed with the client."Are you okay, ma'am? Your face seems a little pale?" Joana's secretary asked
Bill was stunned when he realized that the other day Joana saw him leaving with Miranda. He had to wonder, could Joana's sudden change in attitude in the past few days be because of that? Did Joana think that Bill was back in a relationship with Miranda?But even if that was the case, why did Joana have to keep her distance like now? Bill still didn't quite understand the situation. He wanted to assume that Joana had the same feelings as him, but he was afraid of thinking wrong. However, despite all that, it might be a good idea if Bill explained to Joana that he no longer had any relationship with Miranda. "Jo, when I get back from work, I'd like to stop by your apartment," Bill said when they finished their meeting outside.Joana who was walking immediately stopped her steps and turned to Bill with a surprised look on her face."What's the need?" asked Joana in a flat tone, even though she actually felt very happy."I have something to talk to you about and it's very personal, so i
Bill's eyes slowly blinked so that he could feel the dazzling light of the lamp penetrating his vision. The man then closed his eyes again with a slightly furrowed brow, enduring the dizziness that was currently so prevalent.Bill groaned. There was something odd about it. His mouth was sore and his voice was stifled. When he opened his eyes again, he realized that his current condition was very poor. Bill was now in an unfamiliar room with his body tied to a chair and his mouth gagged with a cloth.The heart's intention was to scream for help, but what came out of Bill's gagged mouth was again only a stifled moan like before."Oh, you're awake." A masked man then came and approached Bill. Followed by another man who also wore a mask.Bill squinted his eyes slightly at the two men. Now he fully understood the situation he was facing. He was being kidnapped, for whatever reason. "You must be wondering why we tied you up like this, right?" One of the masked men asked Bill, as if he kne
