2024-10-29 19:42:56After that sentence ended, Mary immediately hung up the call. Charlie seemed to be clenching his hands while holding back the tears that wanted to come out of his eyes. Anger creates chaos as well as relief. All the anxiety that had been within Charlie seemed to be taken away after that conversation.
His empty eyes stared blankly downwards, the corners of his lips seemed to tremble as he held back tears. Lea also tried to calm Charlie.
"Bas... I'm so sorry..." Lea said quietly.
"No. I should be the one apologizing. Maybe you would never have thought that today you would see the figure of Charlie, who has always been known to be very patient and caring, actually explode like a bomb. I also don't know why I was that angry, maybe I should have calmed Mary down and tried to understand her jealousy. But, I can not. Any anxiety that has been lurking in your heart demands that it be released immediately. I hurt two women this afternoon… I really suck.”

The woman then pulled a chair and placed it next to Charlie. Their position was the same as yesterday, facing forward and enjoying the atmosphere quietly.“Um! Delicious Dis, it tastes fresh! Why didn't you bring it too? "We should be able to eat together while talking about lots of things," said Charlie, his hands busy shoving salad into his mouth. Charlie seemed to enjoy every taste in the fruit salad.The smile on the ex's beautiful face grew when he saw Charlie who was so hungry. There was satisfaction in itself because he had succeeded in making the man who had once been in his heart a little happy.“No, I'm full! I've been eating fruit salad since morning, I've been working while eating fruit salad. Just seeing you hungry is enough for me, Bas!” said Lea casually.“Um… you haven't finished telling me about the guy who lied to you. You don't have work right? Better, just tell me a story! "I'm also bored in the room," co

At least in this meeting two hearts were hurt, Roland and Mary. It's quite satisfying to see these two bastards get a little feeling of tightness and jealousy because the person they love turns away from someone else. Although the response received was not that bad and was suitable to replace their negative behavior so far.“Ekhem!”Mary made a sound while insulting James and Yelly to let go of the handshake that was taking too long. Both of them looked awkward and blushed. Yelly then offered her hand to Mary, her face looked very friendly.“Hi, Mary. We'll meet again, okay?" said Yelly.Mary's gaze was sharp like a knife that had just been sharpened. Whether she wanted to or not, she shook Yelly's hand, Mary didn't respond with words. That cynical and crooked smile should show that he will never be nice to Yelly."So you guys really know each other? Today feels like quite a plot twist, I didn't expect that I would meet a person I

A strong longing binds Charlie's soul this afternoon. There was a tightness in his chest when he remembered the image of his wife's face. Actually, this man couldn't be far from Mary, especially since he was still sick. Charlie really needs that figure to accompany him.“How do you become a possessive man? I've never been able to do that before. I really miss you, Mary. "I really wish I had breakfast fed from your soft hands this morning," complained Charlie. Yes, that complaint will never come true, considering Baswraa's attitude of always being resigned to what happened to her marriage.Since the beginning, Charlie has always held the woman he loves in high regard, so it is not surprising that he is the type of man who is often the victim of women's infidelity.

The radio, which was playing the famous song by Alex & Sierra, was immediately turned off by Mary. She closed the application, because it reminded her a little of the figure of her husband who loved her so much.Mary continued her activities while applying make-up. Her cheeks looked rosy from the blush she had just applied, her sharp eyes were made even stronger by the addition of black eyeliner on her eyelids. She cracked a smile as red lipstick added a striking color to her lips."Well, I'm ready to meet Roland. So I'm curious, what if he sees me later. I can't wait to interrogate him about the lie to Bali and also... I want to be able to sleep alone with him soon!"After talking to herself, Mary put all her make-up equipment into a light blue pouch. She looks very elegant in a navy blouse combined with white cotton trousers. Don't forget the necklace worth tens of millions which looks simple and elegant. Please note, this necklace was a birthday gift give

Not wanting to waste time, the man immediately jumped into bed and started sending messages to Mary. His professional brain in deceiving women makes it very easy to find an excuse to drain the money belonging to the conglomerate conglomerate Rahardjo's only daughter.'Honey, maybe this is the last day I contact you. No pun intended, but I took on my mother's debt and this time I couldn't pay it. Everything has ballooned by one hundred and twenty-five million rupiah, this is unreasonable. I'm already dizzy, I don't have that much money. I'll hide for a while, until I have the money to pay for everything. I love you so much, Mary'.The hand quickly sent a message to Mary. Roland then changed his position from prone to supine, he closed his eyes and smiled broadly. He was not at all afraid if the lie came from Mary, to him Mary was nothing more than a stupid woman full of lust.Drr.. Drr…Sure enough, as Roland expected, in less than a minute, his cel

James's eyes then fell on Mary's cellphone which he accidentally kicked. When James took the cellphone, he saw that the call to Charlie was still connected. James immediately spoke to Baswra to tell him what had happened.“Mary?! Mary?! Do you hear me?!”Baswaara's voice seemed panicked calling his wife's name from across the telephone.“Hello, Charlie Bas. "This is James," said James.“James?! Where's Mary, James? Why was he crying?! I'm so panicked!”James took a deep breath, as he walked towards the hotel, he said, "He was angry earlier, jealous of Lea, Charlie Bas.""Good grief! As I thought, I was wrong! I shouldn't have had to say that to Mary, or I shouldn't have accepted Lea. Please calm him down, James. Tell him that I love him so much, there's no way I'll cheat. I beg you, calm him down, James..." said Charlie quietly.James's heart was very touched, he immediately remembered how sinful Mary was

“So, when did you move next door? "First of all, thank you for the yellow rice you gave us yesterday, it was delicious," concluded Charlie.“Two days ago, I was actually hesitant about giving you yellow rice. I'm afraid, there are other thoughts that come to your wife and it seems that they are proven. Yesterday, Mary's face was very cynical looking at me. Eh! By the way, where is your wife? I forgot, Bas was so happy to talk to you!"Lea looked panicked and stared at the main door."There isn't any. He was going to Los Angeles, maybe twenty minutes ago his plane left. Just understand, if you are rude to you. "Maybe it was my fault for telling what happened between us," said Charlie wisely.Without realizing it, Lea took a deep breath as if she was relieved that Mary was not at home. Charlie chuckled and looked confused at Lea."Uh, why?" asked Lea."I should be the one asking you, why are you wasting your breath like that? You'r

Throughout the journey to the hotel, Mary still had an angry face, she really didn't know how to recover her heart. It's impossible if he has to go back to New York, it's not certain that he won't be in a hurry to go to Los Angeles. This trip, which should have been beautiful, has now become a boomerang for Mary."Hey, smile. I get scared when I see you like this, or do you want to just go back to New York? "Just take the plane tomorrow morning," said James."Just shut up, James! I'm too lazy to talk, you've been talking all the time. Even though there's nothing wrong if I'm lazy, my heart is hard to predict, James. If it were possible to be heartless, maybe I would prefer that!" concluded Mary sarcastically.In the end, James chose to remain silent and let Mary deal with all the worries that he always glorified.After fifteen minutes, they arrived at one of the five star hotels in the hero city. Just as his feet got out of the car, his cell phone rang ag

“Eddie, you need to think this through,” his secretary, Lisa, urged as she shuffled through papers on his desk. “Keeping your distance from Agatha might not be the best strategy right now.”Eddie leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. “You don’t understand. I can’t afford to get too close to her, not after everything that’s happened.”“Look, I get it. But you’ve already agreed to help her with her family’s company. If you cut ties now, it’ll look suspicious,” Lisa replied, raising an eyebrow.Eddie sighed heavily. “It was a mistake to agree to that in the first place. I should have never involved myself in her family’s business.”“Eddie, this is a complicated situation. You know Agatha needs your support,” Lisa pressed, her voice steady. “She’s promised to start fresh, to make this work. You can’t just back out.”“Her promises don’t mean anything if it jeopardizes my own company,” Eddie countered, his voice rising slightly. “I have to think about my future, my business. I can’

“Eddie!” Jennifer called out as she stepped into the house, her heart racing.Eddie emerged from the kitchen, looking worn out and a little worried. “You’re back! How was your trip?”“It was beautiful, but… we need to talk,” Jennifer said, struggling to keep her voice steady.“Talk about what?” Eddie asked, leaning against the kitchen counter, sensing the tension in the air.“Andrew… he wants to marry me,” Jennifer blurted out, the words escaping before she could rein them in.Eddie’s brow furrowed. “What? You’ve got to be kidding me. You just got back from a vacation! Why would you even consider that?”“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s serious. He wants me to leave everything and be with him,” she replied, panic rising in her chest.“Leave everything? Jennifer, are you really thinking about this? What about us?” Eddie’s voice rose slightly, betraying his frustration.“I’m not saying I will! I just… I need time to figure things out,” she stammered, trying to make sense of her feelings.

Eddie leaned back in his chair, staring out the window as he waited for Agatha to arrive. The morning sun filtered through the glass, casting shadows across his desk, but the warmth offered little comfort. His mind raced with possibilities, scenarios of how this confrontation would play out. He could almost hear the tension humming in the air, a warning that things were about to get messy.When Agatha finally entered, she was all business, her heels clicking sharply against the hardwood floor. Her expression was calm, but Eddie noticed a flicker of something in her eyes—nervousness, perhaps, or anticipation.“Eddie,” she greeted, her tone cool. “You wanted to see me?”“Have a seat,” he replied, gesturing to the chair across from him. He needed to maintain control, to keep the upper hand in this conversation.Agatha sat down, her posture elegant, but there was a slight tension in her shoulders. “What’s this about?”“Let’s not pretend, Agatha. You know exactly why I wanted to talk to yo

"Eddie, calm down. You're jumping to conclusions." Agatha’s voice was smooth, too smooth for Eddie’s liking. She sat across from him, legs crossed, sipping her tea as if the world wasn’t on fire.Eddie clenched his fists, barely able to control his rising anger. His office felt smaller, suffocating, as if the walls were closing in on him. “Calm down? Agatha, one of my subsidiaries just got shut down for a violation, and it happens to be the one your man, Charles, oversees. You expect me to believe that’s just a coincidence?”Agatha didn’t even flinch. She set her cup down delicately, her sharp eyes meeting his. “I understand your frustration, Eddie. But accusing me without evidence won’t solve your problem. Charles has been nothing but loyal, and whatever happened at that company was not my doing. You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment.”Eddie’s jaw tightened. “You think this is about emotions? Agatha, I’ve been in this business long enough to know when something stinks. I j

"Jennifer, you need a break. We've both been working nonstop, and honestly, I think a vacation would do us both some good." Andrew's voice was steady but held a hint of concern as they sat across from each other in the quiet corner of a café.Jennifer stirred her coffee absentmindedly, her mind elsewhere. "I don’t know if I’m ready to go anywhere, Andrew. There’s too much going on, and I can’t just leave. Especially with everything at the office." She sighed, the weight of Frank's death still lingering in her voice, even though she had started to heal.Andrew leaned forward, his eyes locking onto hers. "You can't keep burying yourself in work, Jen. It's not healthy. You’ve been carrying a lot on your shoulders, and I get it. But you need to take care of yourself too. Just a few days away. Let’s go somewhere quiet, where you don’t have to think about business or Frank for a while."Jennifer hesitated, chewing her lip. She knew Andrew was right, but the thought of leaving everything beh

“Grace, I need to know exactly what’s going on,” Eddie demanded, pacing around his office. His voice was sharp, filled with frustration. “We can’t afford any more surprises, and this Wilford situation has already cost us enough.”Grace, sitting calmly across from him, nodded. “I understand, Mr. Cameron. I’ve already started pulling reports from the other subsidiaries. But, honestly, I think we need to have a bigger conversation about oversight. This isn’t just about Wilford anymore.”Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. “What do you mean?”She handed him a folder. “I’ve been digging, and there are minor discrepancies in a few other subsidiaries as well. It’s not at the level of Wilford, but it’s enough to raise concerns.”Eddie flipped through the documents, his brow furrowing deeper with each page. “How did this happen under my watch? I had systems in place, checks and balances—how did we miss all of this?”Grace gave him a sympathetic look. “Honestly, I think the company has

Eddie sat at his desk, staring at the numbers on the financial report in front of him. His heart sank as he scanned the figures again, hoping he had somehow misread the data. But there was no mistaking it—his company had taken a sharp hit, and the numbers reflected a significant loss.“This doesn’t make sense,” he muttered to himself, furrowing his brow. He quickly picked up his phone and dialed his personal secretary, Grace.Moments later, Grace appeared at the door, clipboard in hand, her face calm as ever. She was always efficient, always on top of everything, and Eddie trusted her implicitly. But today, something felt off, and he needed answers.“Grace,” he said, his voice sharp with urgency. “What’s going on with the numbers? Our revenues have dropped drastically. I need you to dig into this and find out where the problem lies.”Grace nodded, her fingers already flying over her tablet as she pulled up the latest data. “I’ll get to it right away, Mr. Cameron. I’ll have a detailed

Eddie paced back and forth in his office, his phone gripped tightly in his hand. He had just read Jennifer’s text: *"We’re heading to Aruba. I’ll be fine, Eddie. Don’t worry."* His gut told him something was off, but he didn’t want to overreact—at least not yet.He opened his contacts, his thumb hovering over a few trusted names. Maybe he could ask one of them to keep an eye on Jennifer while she was away. But before he could make a decision, Agatha appeared at the doorway, her presence calm and poised.“Eddie, what’s going on?” Agatha’s voice was smooth, almost soothing. She noticed the tension in his shoulders, the way he clenched his phone like it was the last tether holding him together. Eddie exhaled heavily, running a hand through his hair. “Jennifer just texted me. She’s heading to Aruba with Andrew. Something feels… wrong.”Agatha raised an eyebrow, stepping further into the room. “Aruba? With Andrew? That doesn’t sound too bad, does it?” Her voice had a lilt of casualness, a

Andrew watched Jennifer run toward the car, her decision clear as she fumbled with her phone. His face twisted in frustration, his mind racing. He had spent weeks meticulously planning this, gaining her trust, making her think he was her escape. And now, Eddie had ruined everything. His phone buzzed in his pocket, but he ignored it, clenching his fists. Jennifer had already stepped away, halfway across the tarmac, but Andrew wasn’t ready to let this go so easily. With determined steps, he caught up to her, his voice low but urgent as he reached out to grab her arm. "Jennifer, wait."Jennifer stopped, startled, but didn’t turn around immediately. She seemed to wrestle with herself, not quite pulling away from him yet. Andrew took that as a sign to keep going."Just listen to me," Andrew urged, trying to soften his tone. "You don’t have to believe anything Eddie says. He’s trying to confuse you, make you doubt your own decisions."Jennifer shook her head, her voice barely above a whis
