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
Elina had just finished tidying up a pile of files on her desk as her lunch break arrived. She looked quite tired, reached for a glass bottle, and took a sip to quench her thirst."Elina, want to go to the cafeteria? You didn't bring lunch, did you?" Vega, who had just arrived at Elina's desk, asked."Actually, I didn't. I'm starving because I haven't had breakfast since this morning. I wonder what the lunch schedule is today?" Elina and Vega left their office.The two women walked to the office cafeteria in the back of the building. Many employees were already sitting at their respective tables.Elina scanned the room to see the menu options and her eyes landed on takoyaki. "I'll have takoyaki for lunch," Elina said. "What about you?" she asked Vega.Vega still seemed a bit unsure, carefully considering what to order. "I think I'll have rice with oyster sauce squid. Let's meet at that empty table at the corner," Vega pointed to an unoccupied table. Elina nodded.Afterward, Elina boug
In the evening, feeling guilty about his actions towards Elina earlier in the day, Niko decided to visit her at her home. He knew that Elina was likely disappointed with what he had done, and he realized he had to make amends. With a light step, Niko began to leave Nicholas's residence, eager to apologize to Elina, hoping she would forgive him.As Niko headed towards the car garage, someone suddenly startled him. It was Raditya. "What are you doing, Radit?" Niko asked, trying to calm his surprise. He hadn't expected Raditya to appear so suddenly and startle him. Raditya wore a satisfied smile, seemingly pleased with having caught Niko off guard."Where are you going, Kak Niko?" Raditya finally asked, still with that smug expression on his face, met by a sigh from Niko."I just want to get some fresh air." Niko's words weren't entirely untrue because he did intend to get some fresh air and go to Elina's house to apologize. He couldn't just sit idly by, knowing how disappointed Elina mu
