"I'll show you to your room, Gibson," Calista said, walking towards a partially closed door. "This is your room, Gibson."

"Very nice room, Calista. So, where's your room?" Gibson inquired.

"My room is right next to yours, Gibson. You can rest now. I need to take a shower," Calista replied before leaving the room designated for Gibson.

As Calista exited Gibson's room and closed the door, she noticed Sofia standing near the top of the stairs, looking at her with significance.

Although Sofia was the head servant, she had raised Calista since childhood and was no longer formal with her.

Calista, understanding Sofia's intent, simply smiled and entered her own room. Sofia followed her and closed the door behind her.

"Tell me everything. No matter how good your acting is, you can't deceive me. I've been taking care of you since you were a child," Sofia said as she arrived in Calista's room. "I know you must have an unreasonable plan just to defy your father's arrogance," she continued with a

    At the corner of Calista's lips, a slight smirk appeared as she glanced at another beautiful, famous actress who shouldn't have been on the same shooting location as Calista."I didn't expect to see you here," Calista maintained her thin smile while placing the script draft on the small table next to her folding chair.The woman was named Sandara.On numerous occasions, she had lost out to Calista, whether in securing lead roles or winning awards. Sandara always felt envious of Calista's beauty and popularity."I came here because my latest film shoot happened to be adjacent to your location, Calista. And I'm the lead actress," Sandara proudly announced the news she thought was excellent."Wow! It's amazing. Should I congratulate you, San?" Calista asked with a somewhat biting remark.Calista had her reasons for speaking that way. She had grown weary of Sandara's attitude. Not once or twice had Sandara made sarcastic videos directly aimed at her."What's going on here?"Suddenly, a de

    "How about it, Gibson? Are you satisfied seeing their pale faces?"At this moment, Gibson and Kiara had already returned from the cinema. Even though they were the only ones in the theater earlier, they still enjoyed it."Yes, Calista, of course, I am satisfied." While driving, Gibson remembered how his former mother-in-law's face turned pale. Not just pale but embarrassed as well when he ruthlessly insulted her."I've never seen such a desperate look on an old woman before. Instead of self-improvement, she mocked and belittled you," Calista spoke again.Gibson remained silent, listening to Calista's words. What Calista said was indeed true. Even at her age, which was nearing sixty, Gibson had never seen any goodness in that woman, or maybe she had never been good to him."Did your former mother-in-law treat you poorly during your marriage to Kiara?" Calista looked at Gibson, who was deep in thought. For some reason, she was curious about Gibson's life before meeting her."I don't kno

    In a quiet room, Gibson reclined on the bed. The image of Calista's figure troubled his mind as a man.Gibson shook his head, trying to dispel the thought. "Damn! Why does Calista's image keep haunting me?"He sighed in frustration, feeling a pulse below as Calista's image reappeared. Gibson turned when he heard a knock on the door, furrowing his brow in confusion."Gibson, open the door," the voice sounded like Calista's. Gibson promptly stood up and approached the tightly closed door."What's up, Calista?" Gibson asked without opening the door first. His heart suddenly raced, and Gibson didn't know what was happening to him."Open the door," Calista commanded from behind the door. Calista stared at the closed bedroom door until Gibson finally opened it, and he currently averted his gaze."Are you okay?"Gibson shook his head slowly. "No, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"Calista furrowed her brow, then sighed when she saw Gibson still looking elsewhere. "What's wrong? You seem different."

    A bright morning didn't coax a beautiful woman from her slumber; she looked comfortable lying in her soft bed, with the blanket almost up to her chest. The sunlight streaming through the window crevices caused her beautiful eyes to flutter. The sun's rays now fully met her captivating gaze as a man, none other than Gibson, pulled back the curtains wide open."Close the curtains," she said, turning away to avoid the sunlight.Gibson sighed and walked closer to Calista, then pulled the blanket, hoping she'd wake up soon."Wake up, it's already noon," Gibson informed her."I'm still sleepy," Calista said, pulling the blanket back that Gibson had uncovered.Gibson shook his head and sat on the edge of the bed, watching Calista with her eyes still closed.Even in her sleep, Calista looked incredibly beautiful, making Gibson curl his lips upwards. Somehow, he found himself entangled with a beautiful and wealthy woman like Calista, as if it were all a dream."Am I so beautiful that you're st

    The atmosphere inside the building is bustling with visitors. Gibson and Calista, who are also present, choose to find comfortable seats to sit."Calista, why did we come here?" Gibson asks as they sit in a corner of the room.Calista smiles, her mind returning to the previous night when she received information that Gibson's ex-mother-in-law was attending an antique auction. Calista had just learned that the woman had a liking for antiques."Of course, I came here for you, Gibson."Gibson furrows his brow, not understanding Calista's words at all. "For me? What do you mean?"Calista smiles again, her gaze searching for a middle-aged woman she wants to outbid and embarrass."You'll find out soon enough, Gibson, just follow my lead," Calista grins, making Gibson slightly apprehensive about what she has planned.A few moments later, an auctioneer takes the stage that had been prepared before the event began."Good afternoon, everyone," the auctioneer greets everyone in the room.

    The residence of the Kiara family appeared calm and quiet. Only a middle-aged man with fair, milky white skin was visible. He was resting, reclined on a soft sofa with his legs slightly bent.There were still faint and muted groans, as the man continued to endure the pain that was gradually subsiding.Yes, just a few hours ago, this man, who was around 50 years old, had been in a rather serious accident. The person he had collided with was now in the hospital, and he had to cover the medical expenses. Not only that, but he also had to bear the cost of the damages to the victim's car, which he had rear-ended."Argh! What a terrible day," he grumbled while holding his head, which still throbbed from the impact of the accident.As he was complaining with his throbbing head, a notification sound from his mobile phone interrupted him. He quickly grabbed his phone, unlocked it, and read the incoming notification.His eyes widened, and his heart raced when he saw the amount of $35,000 displa

    Calista lifted the corner of her lips, forming a deadly smile as she watched a family from afar facing problems."You've seen it yourself, Gibson, they're paying quite a price, aren't they?"Gibson didn't like Kiara's attitude, how easily she turned away from her marriage for money. But he wasn't a cruel man, not to the point of denying people the chance to realize their mistakes."What are you thinking, Gibson? This is just a small payback," Calista stepped into the car. Gibson had been visibly unhappy with her actions since earlier."Isn't this going too far, Calista? I am angry and disappointed with Kiara, but..."Calista put her index finger on Gibson's lips. "Enough, Gibson, you're too kind, their family has insulted you, and it won't make them homeless."Calista didn't want to hear more of Gibson's, in her opinion, overly kind words towards Kiara's family.They decided to head back to Calista's house with their driver at the wheel, as Calista wouldn't let Gibson drive.

    Gibson and Calista were still at the café when the lights dimmed slightly. Several candles were lit, and the melody of a piano began to fill the air. Calista was surprised by the sudden change in ambiance, especially when the nearby fountain started its mesmerizing display. "Wow, did you see that? The fountain is amazing! I didn't think there would be a fountain in this café. From the outside, it looks so simple, but it's incredibly luxurious inside," Calista exclaimed with a joyful smile. As a few people started descending to the dance floor, they began dancing to the rhythm of the piano. Calista couldn't stop smiling as she watched the scene unfold. Gibson, on the other hand, got up from his seat and knelt in front of Calista. "Calista, would you like to dance with me?" Gibson asked with hope in his eyes. Calista was overwhelmed with happiness and could hardly contain her excitement. "Gibson... I didn't think I could dance here. I'm shy," she admitted. "Why be shy? No one will

    This morning as planned, Gibson and also Dixon decided to go and meet Sean at Sherly's Villa.It was seen that the two men were driving at a moderate speed, until finally they both arrived in front of the Villa gate"There doesn't seem to be any security guard on duty Young Master."Gibson frowned in confusion. He didn't expect that there would be no guards in a grand villa like this. So that seemed to make it easier for Gibson to carry out his action, which was to take some pictures of Sherly who was with Sean. Even Gibson had prepared everything, it was just a matter of how this would be done next.Where it just so happened that Sherly's car entered the villa. this was the best opportunity for him.

    "I thought you already knew me, Calista," said Gibson who was a little disappointed by Calista's actions in choosing to end their relationship.Calista still remained silent. Actually Calista had thought that Gibson would never leave her just because of another woman, but because of the incitement from Sean where it would be engaged to Sherly, then Calista decided to end their relationship and retreat before finally getting hurt.Calista did this for herself, thus not caring about Gibson who turned out to really love her."I'm sorry, Gibson! I just wanted to save my heart from getting hurt too much if you're going to get engaged to Sherly.Seeing Gibson exhale an annoyed breath, he chose to release his grip from Calista and look forward."I certainly would never have gotten engaged to Sherly if we were still together.""But now it's all over Gibson, because it's evident that you accepted that and will soon be engaged to Sherly."Gibson could only remain silent. He was really disappoin

    "I actually don't understand why Young Master could accept the match," Dixon said, finally telling what he was thinking.Gibson could only remain silent. It seemed like Dixon could indeed guess what he was feeling, where in fact Gibson did not want to get engaged to Sherly at all, even Gibson wanted to cancel it."I don't know, Dixon Maybe this is fate."Hearing that Dixon could only sigh. It seems like Gibson doesn't want to be open with him yet, and doesn't want to be honest with him. Even though they already trusted each other, but apparently Gibson was still not open to him.Dixon, who was only Gibson's personal assistant, of course did not force Gibson to tell him. Moreover, it seemed that Gibson did not want to tell him, so it made Dixon silent.They were silent in silence for a moment, until finally Gibson asked Dixon's intention of looking for him. Considering the fact that Gibson had seen Dixon across the street, and thought there must be something Dixon wanted to tell him"I

    Sherly began to grasp Gibson's hand, while the man could only remain silent without rejecting Sherly who was now smiling at him. Gibson didn't want Sherly to think that he was forced to get engaged to Sherly, because surely it would hurt.As much as possible Gibson tried to return Sherly's hand, and tried to grasp back.A few moments later the food they ordered finally arrived, and there were several kinds of food served in this restaurant."I didn't expect at all if we have the same taste, Gibson," Sherly said when she found out that Gibson had also ordered fried rice."Maybe it's because we're soul mates."Hearing that of course Sherly was so happy, yes really did not expect at all if Gibson would say like that, the thing she had always been waiting for.They also began to eat their respective foods occasionally the two of them chatted. It was seen today that Sherly had been smiling, maybe because the woman really felt happy because what she wanted was now coming true. Although actu

    "How, what are you talking about?"Calista frowned, she didn't understand what Vegalta's question meant at all, considering that Calista seemed to have forgotten that she had just come out of Dixon's room, and of course it was because Gibson had ignored her, so Calista had no idea what Vegalta was talking about. While Vegalta shook her head, she really didn't expect Calista to forget so quickly, that Calista had just come from Dixon's room, but it turned out that the woman had forgotten so quickly."I mean, what were you talking about with Mr. Dixon. Didn't you go to Mr. Dixon's room earlier?" Vegalta finally asked, clarifying what she had asked Calista earlier. Calista then nodded her head, she had completely forgotten that she had gone to Dixon's room earlier, it was because of meeting Gibson, where Gibson ignored her and did not speak to her at all. Remembering that, Shavone was suddenly sad, she did not expect at all that Gibson could ignore her like this.Seeing Calista suddenl

    Calista was speechless at Dixon's words. Calista thought that Dixon couldn't be lying, because why would he lie, considering it wouldn't do any good at all.Calista then looked the other way, trying to think whether her decision at that time was wrong or right to break up with Gibson. Somehow for now Calista even felt sorry for breaking up with Gibson, but still even though Calista regretted, the woman would never be able to get back together with Gibson, considering that soon Gibson would be engaged to a woman named Sherly, something that Calista never wanted at all."What's the reason you guys are avoiding each other anyway?" asked Dixon finally because Calista hadn't answered his question yet. This was the question Dixon had been waiting for, since Dixon had called Calista here because he wanted to know why.Calista turned her head and looked sadly at Dixon. She didn't want to be honest with Dixon about everything, but it seemed that for now Calista wanted to be honest with him, es

    Calista began to walk towards Dixon's room Dixon's room was next to Gibson's room, and hoped that she would not meet Gibson, because surely this would make Calista feel even more awkward. Especially after hearing the news of the engagement, it made Calista not want to meet Gibson.Knock...knock...knock ....Calista tried to knock on the door of the room, until finally she heard someone inviting her in, and that someone was none other than Dixon.Calista pressed the doorknob and entered the room. It turned out that Dixon was already sitting in his oversized chair, leaving Calista to smile at the man.With slow but sure steps, Calista approached Dixon and began to pull the chair opposite Daniel, then sat on it.While Dixon continued to watch Calista's movements, it turned out that the woman without being invited to sit down, had sat down first, making Dixon only smile."Do you have something to talk about, Dixon?" asked Calista after she was seated.Dixon didn't immediately answer Calis

    Gibson's engagement rumors were widespread. The employees were always talking about this hot news. Syahla (the head of the marketing team Calista was in) openly teased Calista in front of everyone."Didn't you ever dream of becoming Young Master's lover, Calista!"Calista, who wasn't far from Syahla, turned her head. Some of the employees who were also in the same division as Calista, then turned their heads toward Calista. It seemed like they were all curious as to whether what Syahla had said was true or not, considering everyone thought that Calista wouldn't be able to get their CEO because of the huge difference in status, and they didn't know that Calista was a celebrity who was in the middle of a breakup."Is what Ms. Syahla said true, Calista?" asked a woman who was also in the room."If it's true, Calista must be dreaming," said another."Ah, really, Calista , did you ever dream of being Young Master's lover?" chirped another in disbelief.Everyone then talked about Calista, w
