This morning, Ethan went to the company that had just become his due to something he accidentally obtained easily.As he began to take his steps, several employees bowed, paying respect to someone so important in the company. Ethan was the director, and none of them knew that the company actually belonged to Ethan, given to him by Leo.Ethan just nodded, responding minimally to the employees who paid their respects to him."I've only just arrived, but I already feel tired." Ethan sat in his grand chair, looking out the window with an indescribable gaze. The man's thoughts were currently overwhelming, to the point where he couldn't even express a single one."What can I do in a situation like this?" Ethan took a deep breath, until finally he chose to take out his phone from his pocket.For the past few days, there had been no missions given by the system on his phone, as if the system understood what had been happening to him lately. "Even the system knows I'm not okay," said Ethan, pl
Currently, Ethan and Leona are in a car together. They both plan to meet Leo, who suddenly invited them for lunch.Leona, sitting next to Ethan, occasionally glances at the man who is focused on driving. For some reason, there's something about Ethan that makes Leona feel curious."Ahem!"Leona's throat-clearing makes Ethan turn briefly towards her, then refocus his gaze forward. "I'm sorry I didn't know you were Mr. Leo's niece," Ethan says, starting a conversation between them.Leona feels pleased when she hears the question coming from Ethan's mouth. It turns out she managed to make the man open up with just a simple throat-clear."It's no problem, Mr. Ethan. I also didn't know you were a distant relative of Uncle Leo," says Leona, immediately adjusting her sitting position, looking at Ethan who is still focusing his gaze forward.Ethan frowns, a bit surprised when Leona says he's Leo's distant relative. He had just met Leo and they clearly weren't related."Did Mr. Leo say I was h
Crittt...A car almost crashed into a tree if the person at the wheel didn't immediately hit the brakes. Just a few centimeters short, the car's body would have hit the trunk of such a large tree.Inside the car, Leona, who almost dropped her head on the dashboard, screamed in shock. Luckily, she was wearing a car seat belt, so her head didn't actually hit."Mr. Ethan! What are you doing?" Leona stared at Ethan with her heart still pounding. It felt like her heart was going to burst when the car was suddenly about to hit the tree in front of there.Expressionlessly Ethan turned to Leona, the man shook his head weakly, "Sorry, Leona, I didn't mean to."Leona just sighed, there was only one life, and it was lucky that it didn't escape from her body or she would have died at a young age. "It's okay, Mr. Ethan, be more careful next time."Ethan just nodded. He now turned his gaze to the large tree in front of him. Actually, this did not happen for no reason. Ethan, who had been surprised
"What do you think... what about, Leona, Mr. Ethan?"Ethan, who had just placed the cup of coffee on the table, turned his gaze towards Leo. Currently the two of them were on the balcony chatting.After returning from the office earlier, Leo suddenly called him. He invited her to have a cup of coffee and relax while chatting for a while. As a result, here they were now, on the balcony where there were only the two of them.Ethan frowned, feeling confused by the question Leo had just asked. "What do you mean, Mr. Leo?" asked Ethan back, he then pulled one of the chairs opposite Leo and began to sit on it.Leo didn't immediately answer Ethan's question, the man turned his attention to look down, where several cars were passing below.Seeing that Ethan was just silent, just waiting for the answer that Leo would give in a moment. "Have a drink, Mr. Leo," Ethan said, breaking Leo's reverie for a few moments.Leo turned his head, nodded and reached for Ethan's cup of coffee. "Thank you, Mr.
Citra, who had just come out of the bathroom, was startled by the presence of a man now sitting on her bed. "Martin, what are you doing here?" Citra quickly adjusted the position of the towel clinging to her body. She felt very uncomfortable when Martin entered her room without her permission.Martin flashed a smile, turning his gaze towards Citra who was visibly adjusting her towel. The smile on Martin's face couldn't be hidden as he saw Citra's expression. "What's the problem, Citra? Aren't I free to enter your room?"Martin got up from his seat, walked closer to Citra, and now stood right in front of the woman. "I'm your fiancé, do I need permission to come in here?" Martin winked, looking at Citra with a satisfied gaze.Citra held her towel even tighter. Martin's words just now were really testing her patience. "Remember, Martin! We're only engaged, don't cross the line," said Citra, glaring at Martin.Martin pulled the corner of his mouth up, belittling the words that had just co
Mrs. Merry immediately pulled Citra away from Martin. What Citra had just said could no longer be tolerated."Follow Mommy now," said Mrs. Merry with an unfriendly look on her face.Citra just gave in when her hand was pulled away. She could already guess what her mother was going to say."What's wrong, Mommy?" protested Citra as they were now in another room. It could be seen that Citra's expression was now annoyed, the woman would always be annoyed with someone who was not in the same league as her.Mrs. Merry released her grip on Citra's hand. "What did you just say, Citra? You've gone too far! How could you not have any manners ha?!"Citra sighed, holding her sore wrist for the second time caused by two different people. "What did Citra say, Mom? Isn't that a fact? Martin is more suited to marry Mommy than..._Plak!Before Citra could finish her sentence, a slap landed unceremoniously on her white cheek. Citra was instantly shocked, holding one of her cheeks that felt hot from Mer
Martin drove his car to a place surrounded by dense trees on both sides, dimly lit only by street lamps. Citra looked out the window with a furrowed brow, feeling confused about their destination.She had never been to this place before, and the atmosphere around them felt strange. Nevertheless, there were several parked cars and some couples entering the area."What is this?" Citra finally asked, turning to Martin who sat in the driver's seat. "Why did you bring me here?" she asked again when she got no answer from Martin.Martin just grinned as he parked his car in a somewhat hidden corner. After turning off the engine, he turned to Citra and replied, "This is a place where people can forget their problems for a while, enjoy togetherness without interruption."Citra looked at Martin in disbelief. "You brought me to a place like this? Are you crazy?" Citra glared at Martin, unable to believe that he had brought her to such a place. He had clearly said he would introduce her to his fr
Martin led Citra to a dark corner of the room, where two men were sitting around a table. They all stared at Martin and Citra with smiles on their faces, seemingly pleased with Martin's arrival with Citra by his side.Martin then stopped right in front of them and placed his hand on Citra's shoulder. A smile adorned his face."Friends, let me introduce you to Citra, my fiancée," Martin said proudly, glancing briefly at Citra before turning back to his three friends.Citra didn't respond; there was no expression on her face to indicate she was happy to be introduced as a fiancée. In fact, Citra felt disgusted hearing Martin introduce her as his fiancée. If not for the threat of Amel's video, Citra might have flatly refused to be engaged to Martin. From the beginning, she never had any hope of having a relationship with a bastard like Martin.Martin slightly tightened his grip on Citra's shoulder, signaling her to smile in front of his friends.Reluctantly, Citra tried to smile, playing
