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
"Young Master, you received a call from one of our clients. This is the third call today, and it seems like you should take it and speak to them personally," Daniel said with a panicked expression.Niko didn't understand, but he brought the phone closer to his ear. "Hello, good morning, Sir. Is there anything I can assist with or anything that needs to be communicated regarding our ongoing partnership?" Niko asked, getting straight to the point."Hello, Mr. Niko, good morning as well. I apologize if I'm disturbing your time. I regret to inform you that I am withdrawing my intention to sponsor your company's latest product. I apologize for the suddenness of this decision; it was unexpected. I hope you won't be disappointed by this choice, and I wish you success in marketing your product. Good morning."The call ended abruptly. Niko remained silent for a moment, feeling a sense of loss as he heard about the withdrawal of the sponsor for his company's product. He gripped the desk, his br
"Niko, you should go visit Justin and see how he's doing. How can he act from a distance 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 hurried, although he hadn't run anywhere. Niko felt an overwhelming sense of frustration because there were so many problems ahead. "But it's impossible for someone to be a hundred percent similar. This is truly unnatural. Damn, what's really going on?" Niko grabbed his hair and then looked at Daniel."Young Master, I think this is getting more dangerous if it's not stopped right now. It seems like the one causing all this is someone you know very well. I'm starting to suspect that it might be an inside job," Daniel chimed in.Niko nodded in understanding. "Yes, I have the same suspicion. But who? We don't have enough evidence.
After donning his dark blue suit, which looked impeccably neat, Niko headed to the office in his car. Lately, he hadn't paid much attention to his attire, as his mind was swamped with numerous concerns related to his never-ending business issues. He drove at a brisk pace, eager to reach the office quickly, considering the long list of tasks demanding his immediate attention.However, city traffic remained an inescapable obstacle for those in a hurry. Red lights always seemed to catch him. After a few moments of respite, Niko accelerated again, determined to make it to the office as swiftly as possible. Upon arriving in the parking lot, he stepped out of his car, only to be halted by a call from a woman behind him."Niko!" someone yelled.Niko turned to see Elina approaching him. He smiled; it had been a while since he had seen her, and he hadn't kept her informed because he didn't want her to worry about the overwhelming problems he was facing in his company."Niko, where have you bee
