Kamu, kerjakan semua ini. Aku beri batas sampai pukul 12 ketika jam makan siang," Elina was shocked to find a pile of marketing division files placed on her desk. She blinked her eyes to make sure what she was seeing was not a mistake."Wha—Do you mean I have to do all of this?" Elina asked nervously, instantly feeling flustered.Her question only fueled Rahma's anger. Without hesitation, Rahma roughly opened all the work files she had brought so that Elina could see them."If it's not done, how will it get finished? The office pays you a salary to work. If you don't work, how will you get paid?" Rahma scoffed.Elina could only bow her head. Confronted with Rahma like this, as a subordinate, Elina couldn't resist, even though she wanted to rebel in her heart. Elina remembered Niko's advice not to appear too weak when dealing with superiors. Because the weaker we appear, the more our superiors will take advantage."Alright, if that's what you want. I'll get it done quickly!" Elina repl
"Elina... have you woken up?" In her sweet dream, Elina heard her mother's voice faintly calling. With a bit of effort, Elina roused herself. Elina was in a half-dazed state, glancing here and there because her senses hadn't fully gathered yet."Mom?" Elina mumbled softly."ELINA?"Once again, Maya's rather loud voice managed to startle Elina. As a result, Elina immediately jolted up, and her eyes widened. This time, it was not the expression of sleepiness or laziness that came first, but fear."YES, MOM!" Elina replied firmly before getting out of bed.Elina walked slowly and stepped towards the bedroom door so that Maya would believe that she was indeed awake. When she opened the door, Maya welcomed her with a stern expression."Aren't you working? It's already past six, Elina!" Maya scolded, fearing that her daughter would face consequences from her boss.When her eyes glanced at the clock on the wall, Elina quickly slipped away from Maya with all her nagging. However, for now, Eli
After a heated debate due to Daniel's insistence on keeping Niko's whereabouts a secret, Elina now knows everything. With a fear of facing Niko's wrath, Daniel takes Elina to the hospital."Mr. Daniel... How is Niko doing?" Elina asks anxiously.Daniel, who is driving the car, briefly glances at her before returning his focus to the road ahead. "You'll see for yourself later," he replies flatly. He isn't angry with Elina; he's just afraid of Niko, his boss.Sensing Daniel's less-than-friendly demeanor, Elina chooses to remain silent. All the curiosity that had been building up inside her since earlier can only be kept in her heart.The car continues to drive until it finally stops in front of a luxurious hospital. Elina's gaze wanders around the hospital, which isn't far from the office. Has Niko been brought back to Surabaya?"Has Niko been brought back to Surabaya?" Elina asks again."Yes. Young master was brought here after last night's incident," Daniel replies. "Come on, I'm sure
"Niko, are you sure?" Ever since Niko had said something Elina found unwise, she hadn't stopped asking. Elina hesitated to wear Niko's clothes, knowing they would be too big for her."Do you want to catch a cold?" Niko replied with a question, frustrating Elina even more. She had hoped for a wise answer from him, not more questions.“Why are you answering with a question? I need your help to choose the right outfit, not more questions,” Elina retorted with a pout.Niko scratched his head in realization of his mistake but had no other choice as the only available clothing in the hotel was his oversized shirt. "Fine, I'll change now," Elina declared, taking the shirt Niko offered.During her time in the changing room, Elina couldn't stop complaining. She wanted to be grateful, but the clothing was truly uncomfortable, and even as she slowly wrapped it around her body, it didn't feel right."Do I really have to wear this?" Elina questioned.Once she finished, she stepped out, holding the
Feeling that Daniel had something important to say, Niko finally interrupted his story about last night's robbery."Just say it; I'll listen," Niko encouraged.Daniel took a deep breath before speaking with a very serious tone. "But I apologize if you might disagree with my opinion. Based on your story, did you not sense something peculiar?"Niko's forehead furrowed. It seemed that he hadn't fully grasped what had been said. His mind was still torn between discussing serious matters and his infatuation with Elina."It's not that I didn't sense something peculiar, Daniel. But I don't quite understand my own words," Niko admitted.This was one of the things Daniel liked about Niko. He never hesitated to express when he didn't understand something. Right now, Niko honestly admitted that he didn't comprehend his own words. How many bosses out there were willing to admit that?"On the part about the robbery, Young Master," Daniel replied half-heartedly. He just wanted to gauge Niko's level
Early in the morning, Niko woke up and reached for the clock on the nightstand next to his bed, precisely at 7:00. He turned to his side and saw Elina's face. Niko's lips curled as he couldn't resist admiring every aspect of Elina's face, her lips, cheeks, eyebrows, and her still closed eyes. Everything about Elina captivated Niko to the point where he couldn't take his eyes off her. Niko extended his hand and gently stroked Elina's head to wake her up. He quickly withdrew his hand, and Elina blinked, then looked at Niko and smiled.The morning was greeted by Niko's face in front of her. "Hey, good morning, my beautiful wife," Niko greeted."Good morning to you too," Elina replied, then smiled. Niko caressed Elina's cheek and kissed her forehead. Elina simply smiled at the morning kiss from Niko. She then got up, forgetting that she was still wearing nothing. She looked embarrassed, as did Niko. However, Niko couldn't resist his desire any longer and whispered in Elina's ear, unable t
Niko extended his hand to the nightstand, feeling for his vibrating device that had been incessantly buzzing since morning. With half-closed eyes, he groped for his flat object until he finally grasped it. He swiftly slid the green button and brought it to his ear without checking the caller's name."Hello, Young Master, this is extremely urgent. You need to leave your room because we have an important meeting with a client today. I understand you're busy with Elina, but you mustn't forget your schedule," Daniel said from the other end, his voice tinged with irritation due to Niko's elusiveness since yesterday."Yeah, just come in. I'm still sleepy. If there's anything to say, say it. Can't it wait until tomorrow or the day after? I want to be with Elina; I can't leave her," Niko mumbled, half-awake."We can't postpone it any longer, Young Master. I've already delayed it for two days, and another delay might jeopardize the client's cooperation," Daniel replied, understanding Niko's re
Niko reached for his phone on the nightstand, trying to find it as it had been vibrating non-stop since morning. With half-closed eyes, he fumbled for his flat device and answered without checking the caller's name."Hello, Young Master, this is extremely urgent. You need to leave your room because we have an important meeting with a client today. I know you've been busy with Elina, but you mustn't forget your schedule," Daniel said from the other end, his voice holding a hint of irritation due to Niko's elusive nature the previous day."Yes, just come in. I'm still half asleep. If there's something you need to say, go ahead. But can't it wait until tomorrow or the day after? I want to be with Elina; I can't bear to leave her," Niko mumbled, his voice unclear as he was barely awake."We can't postpone it any longer, Young Master. I've already delayed it for two days, and another delay might lead to the client canceling the deal," Daniel explained, understanding Niko's sentiments."Alr
