"Young Master, I have to return because the work is done. Will you be staying here?" Daniel asked Niko as he already had his return ticket and was carrying a bag with clothes and documents inside.Niko leaned against the hotel door, "No. I told you that I still have to stay here with Elina, right? I want to take a break from work for a while to refresh my mind. You can go back first, besides, there's a lot of work at the office, right?" Niko looked at Daniel, who was already neat. He patted Daniel's shoulder, "Take care. Maybe I'll have to stay a few more days."Daniel nodded, "I hope you'll take care here. If possible, it's better for you to come back earlier," he suggested.Niko chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Daniel. I'll be fine. You don't need to think about me because I'll have fun here with Elina. You take care on the road. When you arrive, let me know. So, I'll know that you've really returned to the office and didn't turn towards the bar." Niko laughed again.Daniel replied, "
Elina had already prepared, wearing a white shirt and a black skirt. She tidied her hair in front of the mirror, making sure everything was neat. After finishing, she quickly grabbed her shoulder bag, some folders she needed to bring, and immediately rode her motorbike to the office after putting on her helmet. She hadn't been to the office for a few days because she had been taken by Niko to Malang, and she was quite sure she had left a lot of work behind and seemed to be running away from her responsibilities.She rode her motorcycle fast, and about thirty minutes later, she arrived at the office. She parked it quickly, then immediately signed the attendance sheet and entered the office, heading to her own room. However, just before reaching her office, she ran into a woman with straight shoulder-length hair. She looked a bit plump, had a tall stature, and stared sharply at Elina."Where have you been, Elina?" Rahma, her team leader, asked.Elina was nervous. She didn't know how to
Daniel couldn't help but overhear gossip about Elina and the newcomer named Romeo while he was preparing for a new metric for an upcoming meeting next week. "What if the Young Master finds out," he muttered as he placed his laptop on his desk.Daniel looked around his not-so-large office, adorned with various awards and plaques on the walls. He then turned and pulled out his phone, gazing out the window. Something was bothering him. Work issues were far from over, but new problems were surfacing, leaving his mind scattered.Eventually, Daniel decided to call someone he knew well. "Hello," greeted a man on the other end of the phone."Can you come to my office now?" Daniel asked."Sure, I'll be there," the man replied before ending the call. Daniel placed his belongings on the desk and stared out at the parking lot from behind the window, waiting for his trusted ally.Seven minutes later, a knock echoed through the door. Daniel quickly turned and said, "Come in!" he called.A man enter
While in the car on the way home, Niko remained silent, as he couldn't ask his father for an explanation with the driver present. He didn't want this issue to escalate. Niko shifted uncomfortably in his seat multiple times, while his father seemed busy with his tablet, possibly working on something, not giving Niko a chance to talk.Upon arriving home at 9:59 PM, Niko quickly got out of the car and went inside. In the living room, he stopped Arshad, who was about to enter his room, and asked directly, "Dad, what did you mean by your answer earlier?""Which answer?" Arshad inquired, trying to recall the words he had spoken during dinner with Adhitama."About considering my arranged marriage with Sheryl. Why didn't you firmly reject it, saying 'I can't' or 'It's not possible,' instead of contemplating what to say? It's as if you're okay with me marrying Sheryl. Just so you know, I will never marry her or anyone else except Elina. So, there's no need for you to think about it, and you sh
Reluctantly, Romeo decided to leave Elina's house, his gaze filled with resentment towards Niko, who had struck him without warning. "I'll never forgive you, you scoundrel!" Romeo shouted as he entered his car."I won't apologize to you," Niko replied coldly."Niko, let it go. Just let him leave," Elina placed her hands on Niko's shoulders, trying to calm her upset boyfriend.Little did Elina know that Niko and Romeo would end up having a brawl in front of her house because of her. "Go into the living room; I need to tend to your lip. You're hurt," Elina said, pulling Niko towards the living room after her parents had already gone to their room, making sure everything was safe."First, treat Niko's wound, then he can leave," Maya yelled from inside the room."Alright," Elina replied, heading to the kitchen to fetch some warm water.Niko sat in the living room, waiting for Elina. His lip stung from Romeo's punch, but he felt no remorse, as Romeo had initiated the fight. Niko wouldn't h
At precisely 7:00 AM, Elina's bedroom door swung open. Her father was taken aback to find a man and a woman sleeping on the same bed. His heart bristled at the sight of his daughter being with a man he didn't expect."Elina! Hurry up for breakfast!" her father shouted.That was all he said to Elina before storming out of the room, clearly displeased with Niko's presence.Niko blinked, then saw Elina sitting there with a gloomy expression. He wanted to talk to her, but she promptly got up and headed to the bathroom to wash her face. In front of the sink, Elina berated herself for being careless, allowing her father to discover her and Niko. She tugged at her hair in frustration. "Darn it. Why did Niko have to come into my room like that? My reputation is ruined in front of him," Elina muttered.Since it was already 7:10 AM, Elina decided to quickly shower and head out once she was done. She put on a black suit with a skirt, grabbed her bag, and made her way to the dining table. There,
After breakfast and exchanging promises, Elina and Niko set off to the office together using Niko's car. During the journey to the office, Elina couldn't help but ponder whether Niko's words in front of her parents were serious or if he said them just to avoid complicating things and making Elina's father angry. Elina wasn't sure."If you weren't serious about your words earlier, it's better never to make promises in front of my parents," Elina said."No, I was serious. Don't doubt me like your father does, Elina. Haven't I told you many times that I'm not playing around? I truly love you no matter what. But I'm waiting for the right time, so please be patient," Niko replied."I don't doubt you, but your words were so sudden to digest. It made me wonder if you were serious. But Niko, I trust you deeply. I hope you won't break my trust," Elina replied.Niko smiled, "I won't, El. I won't disappoint you. Just hold onto my promise, because I will keep it."After a few minutes, they arrive
"Niko, you should visit Justin immediately and find out how he's doing. Why is he able to act this way even though he's locked up in a cell? Or is it just someone who looks like Justin, or is it really him?" Niko looked extremely frustrated.After the client left, he became even more disheveled than before. He took off his shirt and threw it onto the sofa. His breath sounded rushed even though he hadn't run anywhere. Niko felt an overwhelming anger because there were so many problems in front of him. "But it's impossible for someone to be one hundred percent identical. This is truly unusual. Damn, what's really going on!" Niko tugged at his hair and then looked at Daniel."Young Master, in my opinion, it's getting more dangerous if we don't stop it right now, especially since the one causing all this chaos is someone you know very well. I'm becoming more suspicious that it's an inside job," Daniel chimed in.Niko nodded in understanding. "Yes, I'm inclined to think that way too. But w
