"Candy?" Xavier glanced at the extended hand before him. A children's candy was offered right in front of him. "Do you think I'm a child?" Xavier tried to remain composed. The woman seemed filled with childish thoughts. "I'm sorry... I just wanted to lighten the mood," she said. Xavier gave her a sharp look.Audi appeared saddened and shifted her gaze to the car window beside her. Her eyes sparkled at the sight of the green expanse of rice fields. "Wow! This is truly amazing. I've never seen a place so beautiful." Xavier sighed, redirecting his gaze to the woman looking out the car window. Soon, they entered the grounds near Xavier's mansion. Audi couldn't stop praising the surroundings.Bruk! Xavier stepped out of his car. "Hey! You didn't park your car properly!" Audi yelled, poking her head out of the car window. Xavier seemed indifferent and continued walking into his mansion."So annoying. He should have just put his car in the garage right away," Audi complained. One of the body
At the club, 11:19 PM. The thumping music reverberated throughout the nightlife venue, as people reveled amidst the constant clinking of glasses, toasting to forget their burdens."Am I late?" A hurried woman arrived, having made a prior commitment to the man before her.Not surprisingly, she simply walked towards the chair in front of the beer display."At least not worse than yesterday," he remarked. The woman composed herself, placing her branded handbag on the table before sitting across from the man."Elnora! Elnora! Your performance never disappoints every night," the man praised, a sweet smile on his face.Her tight dress with a slit on the right thigh revealed smooth skin, catching the man's attention."You also look handsome and charming, Victor," she complimented.They exchanged smiles filled with desire, indicating a mutual attraction."Have you taken care of it?" Elnora asked, making Victor furrow his brow in confusion. "Taken care of?" he repeated, attempting to reassure
"Please show your ID card before entering," the guard instructed. Xavier rolled his eyes. It was his first time entering the company area that had been bequeathed to him. He had no clue about such a rule, as Zeyn hadn't mentioned it. Honk! Honk! A driver just honked, and the gate opened wide for him. Xavier frowned, protesting the apparent injustice before him. "Why didn't you ask for the driver's ID card? How can he enter so easily? Is that fair?" Xavier remarked sarcastically. "Look at yourself. You haven't even been seen in this office. You might just be an applicant who may not even get accepted. Follow the rules, or you'll only dream of getting inside," the guard replied. Xavier fell silent, unwilling to speak further. The security guard then allowed another motorcyclist, just like Xavier, to enter, fueling his frustration. Quickly, Xavier searched his work bag for his ID card. However, it seemed he had forgotten to bring it. "Where's the ID card? Shit! I forgot to bring it
"Welcome! Welcome!""My beloved son," Zavier whispered in his child's ear.A radiant smile adorned Zavier's face, but his son remained expressionless."Good morning, Mr. Zavier!" Audi greeted, bowing respectfully.Zavier then shifted his gaze to the woman warmly smiling at him."Good morning, Audi. Thank you for listening to Uncle. Work well, hmm?"Obediently, Audi nodded."Alright! For both of you, welcome. You can start working now. Your desks are in the right corner there, side by side."Zavier conveyed the significant workplace information with authority, mindful of any suspicion, as Xavier had warned him."Thank you, Sir!" Audi expressed her gratitude, bowing once again.While Xavier, feeling unnoticed, simply walked away without offering any greeting."Forgive him, Audi. Uncle's son is always like that," Zavier whispered to the young woman when they faced each other.Audi, understanding the direction of the middle-aged man's conversation, immediately focused her gaze on him."No
Zeyn[The Young Master just needs to take a few more steps forward. There will be a director's nameplate right in front of the door of that dark brown room.]Xavier, who preferred not to involve anyone other than those he knew well, chose to contact Zeyn.Rather than asking and potentially having to interact with the staff around him, Xavier opted for the quick route.Fortunately, Zeyn was on standby with his phone, which lit up every second.He was sure the Master would contact him while the man was in the office."I found him. Let's see what he can do."Xavier grinned. His two feet began to step inside.Tok!Just one knock. Xavier arrived with his usual expressionless face."A courage worth appreciating, partner! You just walked in without caring, whether I gave you permission or not. I get it! Your level is quite challenging."Xavier appeared with crossed arms.Rather than listening to Victor's rant, he was more interested in every corner of the room."Why? Are you jealous of the p
A few minutes earlier, Victor clenched his fist. His emotions hadn't settled yet. His mind continued to replay every move Xavier made, intensifying his feelings."I won't let that jerk get away with it. I'll make him pay for what he's done."Victor tried to calm himself. He couldn't let excessive emotion lead to Xavier taking advantage of the situation.He straightened up, walked around, and returned to sit at his desk. His hand reached for the cell phone, dialing the reception desk.[Good afternoon. This is Baxier's reception.]"I'm Victor. Can you please check who sits near the desk of the new staff in our office?"[Sure, Mr. Victor. Just a moment; I'll check for you.]Victor waited as instructed by the receptionist in his office.He knew there would be results. It was impossible for his efforts to go unanswered after waiting for so long.[Melanie Richardlia, on behalf of Mr. Victor. Ms. Melanie is seated to the right of Mr. Xavier's desk. Anything else I can help you with, Mr. Vict
Xavier glared at Audi with his angry expression.Now, he had no more time to fix everything.He knew bringing that woman into his plans was a wrong decision.She shouldn't have been in his life."Cursed woman! I told you not to disturb my life! You only bring disaster into my life!"Without considering the woman's feelings, Xavier continued to berate Audi.Everything was clear; it was impossible for anyone other than Audi to be the real culprit.The woman clearly had a logical motive for all those disgraceful actions. The frustration enveloping her heart after being scolded and having her food rejected by Xavier made her lose control.She deliberately spilled soda onto the stack of papers that Xavier had prepared."If you can't do good, at least don't let your heart turn dark and harm others in the end!"Xavier's insults pierced through, leaving the cheerful girl feeling dejected.Her heart tightened; she felt she hadn't done anything like what Xavier accused her of."No, Xavier! You
19All of Xavier's tasks have been completely finished. Besides printing all the reports he needed to complete, Xavier also made copies that he later took home.The man truly learned from the mistakes he had made.Negligence can make his life a mess like it is now.As Xavier prepares to return to his mansion, he gazes towards the Audi.She seems sound asleep. Xavier is unsure whether he should express gratitude or continue holding onto his anger towards the woman.Before Zeyn provides accurate evidence, Xavier will continue to harbor deeper resentment towards her."Ck! Should I carry her?"Xavier dismisses all those thoughts. He then touches the woman's shoulder, shaking her to wake Audi up."Wake up, Audi!" Xavier impatiently says.It seems difficult to wake the woman. She sleeps as if she were a corpse."She always causes trouble! If it weren't for thinking about Papa, I would have surely left her on the side of the road."Xavier rolls his eyes. Now, he reluctantly has to carry the
"Do you want something? I'll buy it for you."Xavier sat beside Audi, staring at the woman who was silent. Since returning home the woman had been confined to herself, not wanting to come out of the room at all."Audi," Xavier whispered while gently holding the woman's fingers. Seeing Audi who was only silent like this, made Xavier sad, it seemed like there was a heavy trauma experienced by his wife during the kidnapping."You're home, dear, so... stop being sad. You're safe now." Xavier kissed those delicate fingers, kissing them fondly. He loved the woman who became his wife very much.Seeing Xavier treat her like this brought tears to Audi's eyes. For some reason there was a sudden tightness in her chest. She also slowly pulled her hand from Xavier's grip, making Xavier look directly at the woman."What's wrong, Dear? Why are you crying?"Audi shook her head, turning her face away to stare in another direction. The image of when Anthony had grabbed her chastity, made Audi instantly
"Madam, Miss Elnora came here just now."Mrs. Lena, who was just about to leave in her luxury car through the gate, immediately stopped when she heard the report from the security guard of her daughter-in-law's house.Madame Lena was currently planning to go to a supermarket to make Audi's favorite meal. After her daughter arrived home, until that moment her daughter looked so gloomy that she even touched the food only slightly. That's why Madame Lena wanted to make Audi's favorite meal which her daughter had never refused. The middle-aged woman turned her head, frowning in confusion as she looked at the security guard right beside her car. "Miss Elnora? You mean Xavier's ex-wife?" asked Madame Lena to confirm her hearing. The security guard nodded his head and replied, "Yes, ma'am, Miss Lena came here just recently. But I've asked her to come back tomorrow because Mr. Xavier doesn't want to be disturbed."Hearing the explanation from the security guard made Madame Lena sigh. She d
"Well, can you at least take me there?"Keyaa reflexively released her embrace of Elnora. The woman was quite surprised by the request that just came out of her best friend's mouth. Was she not hearing it wrong this time? "What did you just say elnora, didn't I hear wrong?" Keysa looked seriously at Elnora, where the woman was currently shaking her head as a sign that Keysa had not heard wrong."No, Keysa, you're not."Keysa sighed, she didn't understand at all what was the purpose of El Nora asking her to take the woman to Xavier's house. Though the man was already happy for meeting his wife, but now what else did Elnora want? Can't that woman stop bothering Xavier? Seeing the reaction given by Keysa made Elnora then say, "don't get me wrong Keysa. I'm just there to see how Audi is doing."Although ElNora had said so, but still He did not agree with what Elnora said. "Shouldn't you just call Xavier, Elnora? Instead of bothering to come there."El Nora quickly shook her head, indica
In the morning, Keysa, who had heard the news about Audi, decided to go to Elnora's apartment. She needed to tell her best friend in person."Where are you going, Keysa?"Billy, who had just finished showering, approached his girlfriend when he saw that she was currently getting dressed, indicating that she would be coming out soon.Without turning to Billy, Keysa replied, "I want to see Elnora, she must know the news about Audi."Billy immediately sighed. He did not expect that Keysa would meet Elnora this early. She could have called her directly without bothering to come there."You can call her directly, Keysa, instead of bothering to come to Elnora's apartment," Billy said as he walked towards the cupboard, took out clothes and started wearing them.Keysa, who heard it, turned her head briefly to Billy, sighing after getting a suggestion from her boyfriend."You know yourself how Elnora is, until now even she still hopes for Xavier. Audi's return to Xavier's life, of course, make
"Rest up, thank you for accompanying me to the village." Edward immediately opened the car door after arriving at Chika's house. The woman quickly got out of Edward's car, looking at Edward who seemed lethargic after the long journey."No need to thank me Edward. I should be the one thanking you for being my best friend."Edward could only smile wryly when once again Chika considered him as a friend. Even though it was clear that he loved that woman so much, but no matter how many times he tried to express his feelings, Chika still only saw him as nothing more than a friend."Until when will you only consider me as a friend, Chika?"Suddenly Chika rolled her eyes in annoyance. Indeed, Edward had said this to her repeatedly, but no matter how many times, she would keep saying the same thing."Please don't start again Edward. No matter what, you will always be my friend." She flashed a smile at Edward, hoping the man would understand her feelings. "Alright, be careful on your way home E
"Why did you say that, Edward? Anthony is your brother, but why did you let him get close in prison?"Chika immediately asked when they had left the police station. At this point, they had both gotten into the car, planning to go straight home instead of having to stay at a hotel in the village.Even though the journey would take quite a long time, Edward didn't seem tired of driving at all, as evidenced by the fact that the man decided to go home right away.Edward, who received the question from Chika, glanced briefly at the woman before turning his attention back to driving the car. He knew what he had done was a cruel thing, especially since Anthony was his own brother. It's just that Edward wanted to teach Anthony a lesson, so that the man could reflect on his mistakes. Moreover, Anthony had always acted arrogantly, as if everything could be resolved with just money and power."I know you think I'm a cruel man to my own brother. But I just want to give Anthony a deterrent effect,
"What's wrong, Edward?"Chika immediately approached after seeing Edward's expression change. She didn't understand what had happened to the man, so his expression now looked so shocked after receiving a phone call."Did something happen?" she asked again, curious.Edward immediately turned towards Chika, shook his head and said, "Okay, I'll go there right now."Chika frowned in confusion, really not knowing what had happened."Anthony was put in jail," Edward looked so frustrated when saying that, while Chika was so shocked to hear the information given by Edward."What? Are you serious?"Edward nodded then walked toward the upstairs command center to get the car keys there. "I'm going there now."Chika immediately got up from the bed and hurried to follow behind Edward. "I'm coming with you, Edward."Hearing Chika's words, Edward immediately stopped in his tracks, the man turned around while shaking his head. "No need, Chika, I can go alone. Besides, he's at a police station in a vi
"It's okay, young master, don't mind him. We can explore this house. Just leave him to Miss Sarana's men." Zeyn immediately approached Xavier and tried to stop what Xavier was about to do. Especially now that Xavier looked emotional, he was afraid that Xavier would lose his mind and finish off Anthony."We'll definitely be able to find her," Zeyn continued, pulling Xavier away from Anthony.Xavier released Zeyn's grip. "You take care of this wicked man, I'll find Audi."Xavier hurried away, going from room to room to find Audi.Zeyn could only sigh, then he turned towards Anthony who now looked miserable. The man was holding his bruised and battered face."This punishment is not enough, Mr. Anthony, you must be jailed." Zeyn approached, grabbing Anthony's arm quite roughly.What had happened to Anthony was the man's own doing. Zeyn felt that this was still not enough, especially considering how difficult it had been to come here, not to mention meeting a psychopath who was only seekin
Hearing Antoni's confession made Xavier shake his head. The man still couldn't believe what had happened, but he also couldn't get rid of the facts that were so clearly displayed in front of his eyes."Why, why did you do that Mr. Anthony? I don't think I have any problems with you." Xavier stared in disbelief at Anthony, of course he needed a clear explanation.Anthony sighed. The two of them had never had any problems before. Even the cooperation between the companies went so well. It's just that there is one thing that makes Antony do that, none other than because of Audi's humiliation which led to him kidnapping Audi and holding the woman.At first he just wanted to teach Audi a lesson because he had dared to insult her. But after that he gradually began to fall in love and did not want to lose the woman. That's why until now Anthony has not let Audi go, because indeed the man wants Audi and wants to have the woman. He even plans to marry her."I love Audi."Xavier frowned. Was he
