"Angelica!"

In the midst of their activities, as everyone was looking at the decorations that were almost 70% complete, Richard suddenly arrived, joining those who were busy helping and occasionally just observing.

Hearing her name called by Richard made the woman furrow her brow, flashing an ambiguous smile and look towards the man.

"Yes? What is it?" asked Angelica, approaching him.

A faint sigh could be heard escaping Richard's mouth, drawing the attention of the other three people there.

Angelica didn't understand why her brother seemed to be hiding something that made him uncomfortable being around there.

"Is everything okay? You look like you're hiding something right now," Angelica said, this time in a deliberately lowered voice, not wanting others to hear her words.

Richard shook his head, letting out a long sigh.

"We're going home right now," Richard said, causing Angelica to clearly furrow her brow.

"But... the decorations aren't finished. I still want to help more, Richard!

    Heavy breathing could be heard coming from the middle-aged woman's mouth. She quickly wiped the sweat now pouring from every corner of her face.Knock! Knock!The sound of knocking on her bedroom door alerted the woman. She furrowed her brow, realizing she had been having a nightmare.She had thought Brandon was suspicious of her for making a plan to trap Brianna, as if that woman was at fault, causing a rift in her relationship with Brandon."Mom? Are you awake?"The voice from outside her room snapped Mrs. Brandon out of her thoughts. She replied to her son's question by asking him to come in."How are you feeling, Mom? I brought you a sandwich for breakfast."Mrs. Brandon smiled at her son, receiving attention she rarely got from Brandon like this."Did I fall asleep in the car last night?" Mrs. Brandon asked her son.Brandon then nodded his head and replied, "I tried to wake you up. But you seemed exhausted, and you just got injured like this. So, I just brought you straight to be

    The words that came out of Angelica's mouth this morning kept lingering in Brandon's mind.Especially when he saw firsthand how devastated that man was, it was convincing that Angelica's statement was indeed true.Brandon felt confused, he didn't know how to act anymore now. It was impossible for him to distance himself from Brianna just to protect Richard's feelings from misunderstanding, considering the many things that woman had done for him."Angelica? What happened to her, Mr. Brandon?"The faint voice that sounded hoarse snapped Brandon out of his reverie. He quickly got up, distancing himself from Angelica who was sleeping soundly on his bed."Miss Angelica had a mild drop, Sir. Because since last night she hasn't rested properly, forcing her body to keep working when it was time to rest," Brandon replied honestly.For a moment, Richard winced, feeling an intense pain in his head. "Do you have any headache medicine? My head feels so painful, do you have anything to relieve the

    Brandon let out a long sigh, watching people who looked so calm and enjoying every moment at Lee's company.Honestly, Brandon still couldn't believe that the company he once thought was dead could now be revived by him.A thousand thank yous would not be enough to repay the kindness that Brianna had given. Thanks to that woman, all this could happen."Miss Brianna!" Brandon called out shortly after they came down together from the stage.The woman turned with a charm that momentarily managed to captivate Brandon."Yes? What is it, Mr. Brandon?" Brianna asked, sounding formal. Considering they were currently in a public crowd."Once again, I can only express my deepest gratitude to you, Miss. If it weren't for your help, none of this would have ever happened," said Brandon, which made the woman smile at the corner of her mouth while nodding her head."All this is also thanks to the hard work you've done, Sir. No matter how much money is given, if the manager doesn't have extensive skil

    Kevin released his grip on Angelica's hand, letting the woman slip from his grasp.A crooked smile now formed perfectly at the corner of his mouth.He couldn't believe what he was seeing now - a man defending that woman, looking like some kind of wannabe hero for her."You shouldn't interfere with my business with my girlfriend, Mr. Brandon! You have absolutely nothing to do with the matters between me and Angelica!" Kevin stated firmly to the man.Meanwhile, Angelica quickly moved from her spot, running as fast as she could, away from Kevin who was trying to hurt her.Angelica ran towards Brandon, standing right behind him.Now, Angelica's usual haughty face was gone, replaced only by a face full of fear that made Brandon feel pity.It was unusual for him to find that woman in such a state."Girlfriend? The relationship between you and Miss Angelica ended when you decided to cheat on her, Mr. Kevin! Don't spout nonsense, everyone already knows about your relationship!" Brandon replie

    "Wait, Mr. Brandon! Let me treat your wound first. You can't go with a bruise like that," said Angelica, stopping the man in his tracks.Hearing those words made Brandon suddenly turn his gaze, looking intently at Angelica.He then wiped the corner of his mouth, which felt sore, and indeed there was a small wound perfectly etched there."Don't worry about this wound. I'm fine, you don't need to think about this injury, Miss Angelica," Brandon replied to the woman.Angelica shook her head, clearly indicating how she felt uneasy toward the man.The woman didn't want to feel guilty towards the man, especially when seeing the wound that Brandon clearly got because of her.The man had gone to great lengths to defend her, it wouldn't be fair if Angelica let the man go with his wound without taking the initiative to treat it."I'm alright, Miss Angelica. Come on, there's nothing you need to worry about regarding my condition. This wound can dry up and heal on its own later. We'd better get b

    Brianna checked the watch perched on her wrist.A while ago, Brandon had told her he'd excuse himself to the restroom for a moment.However, until this second, Brandon still hadn't shown his face, making Brianna furrow her brow in confusion as to where the man might have gone now."It's been almost 15 minutes, but Mr. Brandon still hasn't returned. Where has Mr. Brandon gone? Why hasn't he come back? He hasn't forgotten that there's an event coming up next, has he?"Brianna was still furrowing her brow as if it didn't want to leave her forehead.She was confused why Brandon hadn't returned yet, not knowing where the man had gone even though he had assured Brianna that he would only be gone for a moment and return soon.Even the dance event hadn't started yet because they were waiting for the man who was nowhere to be seen."I can't just keep quiet and wait like this. I need to find Mr. Brandon quickly. Something must not happen to him. I never know what danger could befall him," Brian

    Brandon's mother looked at the woman who appeared to be about her age.A wide smile greeted her, making Brandon's mother's facial expression difficult to control.She glared sharply at the woman now facing her directly."How can you be here?! Do you think Brandon would be willing to invite a fraudulent company like yours?! You all have degraded the Lee company, you're truly a shameless family!"The woman, who was none other than Ellie, had indeed come to the Lee company's re-inauguration event without receiving an invitation.She felt quite satisfied when she saw Brandon's mother's face looking so annoyed by her presence at that time."Come on, Madam! Do you think we can't establish better communication? It's been so long since we've met and talked about many other exciting things. We can still repair the relationship that was once damaged due to this misunderstanding," said Ellie, trying to approach Brandon's mother again.In her opinion, the main thing to win Brandon's heart was to

What is it, Miss Angelica?"Angelica seems unsure where to start her sentence, causing Brandon to furrow his brow in confusion at her behavior."I apologize for what happened earlier," says Angelica, which makes Brandon not understand; he doesn't know what Angelica means at that moment.Right now, Brandon also feels confused because the woman is not behaving like her usual self at all.All the attitudes currently shown by Angelica really don't reflect her personality anymore.How could they not, Angelica is acting as if she previously had a good relationship with Brandon when clearly the woman always behaves arrogantly towards him every day."I shouldn't have

    All day long, Ariana was in her room. She kept shedding tears, so sad that Brandon had left her. They were going to get married soon, but why did something so unwanted have to happen?"Why did you decide to leave me, Brandon? Can't you just give me one chance?"Ariana kept trying to call him, but until now, Brandon hadn't picked up the phone. Many times Ariana made calls, but still Brandon had no intention of picking up the phone from her. However, Ariana doesn't want to give up so easily. She would keep trying to call Brandon until he picked up the phone.Feeling annoyed because she had tried several times to call, Ariana rudely threw her cell phone in all directions, so angry with the man who did not want to pick up the phone from her."Shit! What do you want from me, Brandon? How can you ignore me like this!" Ariana screamed in her room, letting out her emotions to everyone around her.Eli, who was outside the room, was worried and saddened by Ariana's situation. He had tried to pe

    Brandon flashed a smile. He could of course deduce from his mother's lucky question that she was really worried about him. Brandon was grateful to have a mother who loved him so much and was always there when he was in trouble."Brandon is fine, Mom. There's no need to worry," Brandon finally said.Brandon's mom nodded her head, truly relieved that nothing major had happened to Brandon. The middle-aged woman put down the fruit she had bought before deciding to return to the room. After putting the fruits down, she pulled out the chair next to Angelica and began to sit on it."Oh yeah, I just saw Ariana. Why didn't she leave quickly? Did she come here already?"Apparently Brandon's mother still didn't know that Brandon had actually remembered everything. The man didn't want to accept back Ariana who had betrayed him. Even though she had tried to change, Brandon couldn't accept her back. If it was just to forgive, Brandon would have forgiven, but if it was to return, don't expect Brando

    "Brandon, what do you mean?"With her heart pounding, Ariana approached the bed where Brandon was being treated. She was a little worried; if he remembered everything now, then what about him? Would he leave her?Angelica remained where she was, looking at Brandon and Ariana in turn. Of course, she also felt curious about what had happened to Brandon. Why did he suddenly seem to have forbidden Ariana to come? Hadn't they been so close the past few days? In fact, Angelica had seen the two of them making out in the living room."What are you doing here, Ariana? I didn't ask for your presence at all," Brandon insisted, glaring disapprovingly at the woman who was now walking towards him. I don't know why she was here all of a sudden, when their relationship had been over for quite some time."I don't understand what you're saying, Brandon. Aren't we...""We're not in a relationship anymore, Ariana. And aren't you ashamed to come here after what you did to me?" cut in Brandon quickly, glar

    Brandon's mother came out of the house with an inexplicable feeling; worry was overwhelming her. She was so worried about Brandon's condition. Why was he suddenly in the hospital? Didn't he ask permission to go to a café earlier? Then why was the call from the hospital suddenly saying that Brandon had been in an accident?Brandon's mother continued to run towards the highway, hoping to find a taxi that would take her quickly to the hospital.Angelica, who happened to be leaving the house, frowned when she saw Brandon's mother in a hurry. She looked confused at Brandon's mother. Quickly, Angelica decided to approach her, especially now that the middle-aged woman looked so hurried that it made Angelica feel a little worried."Tante, what's wrong?" asked Angelica as she tapped Brandon's mother on the shoulder.Brandon's mother instantly turned her head when she felt her shoulder being held. The middle-aged woman was almost in tears when she said it. "Brandon had an accident, Miss Angelic

    The unsuitable meeting with Brandon made Ariana feel upset, but she would still try to get Brandon's mother to approve their relationship to the level of marriage.After meeting with Brandon at the cafe, she decided to go home. She had no intention of going anywhere, as she was currently feeling upset and in an uncomfortable mood.Ariana climbed the stairs as soon as she got home, but her steps were immediately halted when suddenly someone called her. That someone was none other than Rian; surely her brother was curious about the look on her face right now."Did something happen, Ariana? You looked so happy earlier, but now your face looks dull."Rian looked suspiciously at the woman who had just arrived. Of course she could guess what had happened to the woman, considering how she had reacted before leaving, and now the dull face she showed when she had just returned indicated something had happened to her.Ariana sighed. She turned to Rian, whose hands were currently folded over his

    "Have a seat, Ariana."Brandon pulled out a chair for Ariana so that she sat across from him. Ariana nodded, feeling happy for the attention Brandon was giving her. Was he doing this because he was going to marry her soon? Imagining that made Ariana feel calm. She nodded and sat down in the chair provided by Brandon."I'm sorry if I made you wait so long, Brandon," Ariana said after sitting in the chair, looking at Brandon guiltily for making him wait. Ariana was sure that Brandon must have waited a long time, considering he was still talking to Ryan, his younger brother.Brandon just nodded and decided to sit back in his chair. After that, he called a waiter to immediately prepare food for the two of them."What would you like to order, Ariana?" asked Brandon after receiving the menu book from the waiter. He then handed one of the menu books to Ariana.Ariana immediately grabbed the menu book offered by Brandon and read all the options in the cafe. After finding the menu she wanted,

    After telling his mother everything about getting married, Brandon felt a little relieved. At least, his mother already knew that Ariana wanted to get married, it's just that his mother still didn't agree with rushing to decide to get married. Currently, Brandon was at a cafe quite close to Ariana's house. He decided to meet with her and talk about this, hoping that she would understand. After all, he himself was still not ready to take things to a more serious level. Meanwhile, Ariana, who was still at home, was wearing make-up with a smile on her face. She was happy that she would soon be married to Brandon, especially after he expressed his wishes. She was sure that Brandon would talk about their wedding at the café. Still in her room, Ariana wore quite a bit of make-up, hoping that even with the light make-up, Brandon would always be mesmerized by her. As Ariana was getting dressed, someone suddenly opened the door. She had no intention of turning around because she was too fo

    After Ariana's departure, Brandon was silent on the couch, thinking about what they had talked about this time. She already wanted to marry him, and Brandon, ready or not, had to tell his mother this. After all, they had been engaged for quite some time, which meant it was appropriate for them to take things to a more serious level."Will I eventually marry Ariana?"Brandon was pensive as he stared out the window. His mind was currently completely occupied with Ariana's request for marriage. They couldn't possibly continue like this without a more definite bond. Although it was only an engagement, they had been engaged for quite some time.Brandon sighed, a little annoyed by what he was thinking. Honestly, the man still had no plans to get married. However, he also couldn't possibly keep making promises to Ariana. She might turn and leave him, looking for someone more serious, and Brandon certainly didn't want that to happen."What should I do?"Hearing the sound of the car that had j

    "Does Angelica come here often?"It was only after Angelica's departure that Ariana asked Brandon. Of course, she was quite surprised by Angelica's sudden arrival, and she had even interrupted her moment of intimacy with Brandon. How could she just walk in without knocking first, something he had never imagined before.Brandon was a little uncomfortable with the questions Ariana had just asked about Angelica. He knew that Angelica had just made a mistake, but did Ariana have to talk about her?Brandon was silent for a moment, trying to find the right words so that Ariana wouldn't suspect him. After all, he didn't have a special relationship with Angelica either and had never had feelings for her."She's my patient, Ariana. You don't need to worry about that."Those seemed to be the right words for Brandon to say at the moment, hoping that the woman beside him would understand and not prolong the matter, despite his efforts.Hearing the words that Brandon had just said, made Ariana sil
