It was still morning when Bill came out of his study. He brought the financial reports that he had completed correctly. The destination was Joana's room. Bill wanted to submit the report to Joana himself."I need to see Mrs. Director," said Bill to secretary Joana who at that time opened the door for him."Sorry, sir, the Director is not coming to work today." The woman bowed respectfully and gave an answer that surprised Bill."Absent from work?" Bill repeated."That's right, sir. Director Joana is resting in her apartment. She's sick, so she can't come to work today." Secretary Joana answered."Okay, thanks for the information." Bill rubbed his face and then left secretary Joana.Bill returned to his room feeling annoyed, very worried about Joana's current condition. While sitting in his work chair, Bill took his cell phone and tried to contact Joana. But unfortunately, after calling several times, there was still no response from the woman."Joana, please. Pick up my phone so I kno
Joana opened her eyes slowly, scanning the ceiling of the room that seemed unfamiliar to her.'Where am I?' was the first question that popped into Joana's mind.Then, Joana looked to the side and saw Bill sitting on a chair, next to her. The man was leaning back and his eyes were closed. I don't know if he was really sleeping or not.While looking at Bill, Joana also looked around and realized that she was in the hospital. Then she remembered the previous incident. She felt hot and cold and weak all over, then her stomach hurt and she constantly wanted to vomit. Until finally she was helpless and could only lie down, then she couldn't remember anything else. The pain she felt at that time was very strong and made her vision turn dark. Maybe she fainted, and maybe it was Bill who came to help her."Bill." Joana called out to Bill softly.Bill immediately gasped even though Joana's voice was very low, because he wasn't actually sleeping. Bill just felt tired and leaned his back. He clo
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
