The System of Power is Money Chapter 179
Leona arrived, witnessing the interaction between Ethan and the unknown woman. The look in her eyes clearly showed curiosity and questioning about the person standing before her.Her mouth seemed tightly shut, as if she was struggling to continue the sentence she was about to say."Leona?" Ethan echoed as his gaze shifted towards the woman.A long sigh escaped Ethan's lips, as if he had anticipated the situation would become more complicated, especially with Leona now present.Meanwhile, Milena, who was completely unfamiliar with the woman who had barged into Ethan's office, appeared to be displeased.She rolled her eyes, unwilling to engage with the woman."Who are you, barging in like this? Do you think this room can accommodate just anyone? Next time, you need to be more polite. At least knock on the door before deciding to just walk in!" Milena snapped at the woman.Leona seemed to furrow her brow in disbelief at receiving such a response from Milena.A long sigh escaped her lips

Leona looked at her uncle with a smile that she couldn't help but emerge at the corner of her lips.Her arms were now outstretched, hugging the body of the older man who was with her at the entrance to Ethan's room."Please, Mr. Leo, you can sit here. I'm sorry for the incident this morning. It was actually a rather poor start to the day," Ethan said, feeling uncomfortable with the man due to the chaos caused by Milena.Leo, who also felt that this was not Ethan's fault but rather the woman's overly aggressive behavior towards Ethan, shook his head, indicating that he completely disagreed with the apology Ethan had made."It's alright, Mr. Ethan. After all, this is not your fault. This happened because that woman deliberately caused a commotion by coming here. Don't worry about it," Leo said, indicating that he did not have a problem with it at all.Meanwhile, Leona, the woman, seemed to be still clinging to the older man's arm.She gave the uncle a very sweet smile."Hm.. in that cas

Ethan headed towards the pantry in his office, then looked at the employees working in that room."Good morning, everyone," Ethan greeted, looking at all of them.The people there seemed surprised, not expecting Ethan to visit their room."Good morning, Mr. Ethan," the people in the room replied in unison.They all lowered their heads, showing how much they respected Ethan.A warm smile appeared perfectly on the corner of Ethan's lips as he looked at the people who didn't seem too busy."Can I ask for your help?" Ethan asked, looking at the people there. Again in unison, they nodded their heads, indicating that they were willing to help Ethan."Yes, sir. What do you need? I'll help you," said one of the employees there.Ethan nodded several times, looking at the people working in his office with a warm gaze. Now he felt happy because they seemed to be working very well."Thank you for responding to me so well. Please make three coffees and bring them to my room," Ethan replied to thos

"Well, Mr. Ethan? Are you willing to spare some time to accompany Leona? To be honest, I don't know who else to ask for help because you're the only one I trust, Mr. Ethan," said Leo, looking intently at the man who now appeared lost in thought due to his words.Ethan let out a long sigh. He looked at the man and then alternately at Leona, who seemed so hopeful that Ethan would agree to her uncle's request."Me?" Ethan asked, pausing his sentence. He then looked back at Leo, his sharp gaze straight ahead making Leo understand that deep down, the man felt reluctant about what Leo had just said.Honestly, Leo also felt uneasy because he felt like he was forcing the man without considering whether Ethan agreed to his request or not. In any case, Leo was currently in a dilemma. He couldn't possibly ignore his niece's request, considering how much she had done for him."I sincerely apologize to you, Mr. Ethan. But I don't know who else to ask for help. Leona really wants to visit that exhi
The System of Power is Money Chapter 183
Ethan had no other choice but to agree to Leo's request to accompany his niece.He thought there was no use in regretting the decision he had made himself now.He could no longer think clearly at this point, feelings of dilemma emerging.His mind couldn't stop thinking about Citra, who wasn't even replying to his messages now."Is she that angry with me? How can I keep ignoring her like this? Then, what can I do now? I really don't know what else to do," Ethan muttered, feeling frustrated, he couldn't even communicate with that woman.Ethan had no idea how Citra was doing now."Excuse me, Mr. Ethan! All of today's work is finished. Shouldn't we go home early to prepare for the exhibition? I hope you haven't forgotten the promise we made."Ethan shifted his gaze, looking at Leona who was now standing in the doorway, looking at Ethan with hope.The man sighed subtly, not wanting Leona to hear it."Alright, Miss Leona. You can go home first. I'll join you later. I'll pick you up at Mr. L

Martin shook his head, indicating that he disagreed with Citra's statement."No, Citra. I'm not going anywhere. Please, forgive me. I didn't mean it at all. I beg you, listen to my explanation first. You can't just make decisions rashly like that. Listen to me first," said Martin, trying to get the woman's attention.Citra shook her head, indicating how she didn't want to hear anything more from Martin.She felt she had heard enough from that man."I'm sorry, Mr. Martin. I hope you can understand what I'm saying. Please, don't be selfish. I hope you can respect the decision I'm making right now," Citra replied firmly.It was visible how the man then turned his gaze towards Mrs. Merry, clearly asking for the woman's support."I'm sorry, Martin dear. Aunty hopes you'll understand the decision Citra is making right now. There's still tomorrow, Citra also needs time for all this. You can come back here tomorrow and talk to Citra again. How about that? Aunty hopes you'll listen to what Aun

Ethan parked his car in a fairly large yard, among the houses of people in the neighborhood.He then let out a long sigh, looking at his appearance, which was currently only wearing a neat suit as if going to a formal event."I hope I can do all this well," Ethan muttered in his heart.He then turned off the car engine, not forgetting to make sure that his car had been locked. His footsteps felt heavy, but what could he do, the man still had to continue his steps.Just as Ethan was about to extend his hand, knocking on the dark brown door, suddenly the door was already wide open, revealing a man much older than himself."Hey, Mr. Ethan! You've arrived? Looks like my feeling was quite strong too," Leo said to the man.Ethan, who received such a welcome, seemed to throw a very sweet smile at the man. He then took a subtle breath, not wanting to be heard by the man."Yes, Mr. Leo. I hope I'm not late to pick up your niece," Ethan replied, smiling at the man.Leo then nodded, looking inte

A wide smile appeared perfectly at the corner of Leona's lips; the woman looked very happy. Especially now that they had arrived at the exhibition showcasing many artworks made by villagers.However, as the pamphlets had been widely distributed to the public, the exhibition attracted many people, evident from how Ethan and Leona were struggling to find parking."Oh come on! Can't we go any faster? I can't wait to see the exhibition there. Can't you park more quickly?" asked Leona, who seemed full of enthusiasm.She looked at the people who were already visiting many of the stalls where people were selling things there; she really couldn't wait to visit all the stalls there."Be patient, Miss Leona. There are so many people coming to this exhibition, and it seems that because of the long time you used earlier, we're now having trouble getting a parking spot," Ethan said to the woman.It was visible how Leona became flustered because indeed, she had taken too long getting ready. After s

As promised to the woman, Ethan decided to go to Citra's house and talk to her parents.His hand, which was already holding several plastic bags filled with fruits, was immediately taken over by a household assistant when the man arrived at Citra's house. Citra, who was at the top of the stairs, immediately descended it, smiling when she saw that he was already at her house. This was something she had been waiting for, she was really happy that the person she loved would express his desire to marry her to her parents. "Your parents are there, right Citra?" Asked Etha after the two of them decided to sit on a fairly soft sofa in the living room.Citra wanted to answer, but suddenly from the other direction came the voice of Citra's father. "We're here, Ethan." Ethan turned his head towards our parents who were currently walking towards the two of them and decided to sit on the opposite sofa. Suddenly, the man's heart was unsafe in the presence of Citra's parents, as if he really fel

After their romantic dinner, Ethan drove slowly towards Citra's house. But before he actually left he turned to Amel who was still on the terrace of the restaurant. "Come on Amel, let's go home together," said Ethan who couldn't possibly leave his sister alone at the restaurant.Amel smiled, of course she couldn't possibly interfere with the two of them being together. She then shook her head and said, "Don't worry, Ethan, I'll go with lecturer Malik. In a few minutes he will come to pick me up."Hearing the words from Amel made Ethan nod his head, he then decided to get into Citra's car, considering that Citra brought a car and there was no way if he let her drive alone. He then got into the car after making sure Citra was in the car. He then began to drive the car through the crowded city. While driving, Ethan occasionally turned his head towards Citra, feeling happy that she had accepted his feelings. Even though he had felt that she would not accept his feelings, especially sin

For a long time Ethan waited for Citra's arrival who had yet to show her nose. He really felt worried if she didn't come to see him in the end. Even though he had tried to give his best to her. If she didn't come, what about her? Will he continue to wait like this and not express his feelings? Of course that can't happen. He had to keep expressing his feelings to her and hope that she would come soon and accept his feelings.Amel, who had been beside the man all along, of course knew what the man was worried about. It had been more than 10 minutes since the woman he was waiting for had shown her nose, and he was also afraid that she wouldn't come in the end. But Amel thought that the woman would definitely come, considering that she seemed so worried about her brother's condition and always tried to get close to him. But why she hadn't shown up yet made her feel worried."Why hasn't Citra come yet?" Amel muttered to herself. Her gaze continued to settle on the door of the restaurant,
Chapter 301
Tonight as planned, Ethan and Amel went to a restaurant that the man had booked in advance. Of course, this is because he wants to express his feelings to someone so special. That someone, of course, was none other than Citra. Tonight, he was going to express those feelings to her. He had been harboring his feelings for a long time, and it was time for him to express them. He didn't want her to leave him and choose to be with another man who was more serious. He must choose to be serious before someone else is serious to that woman."How is it, Brother Ethan? Are you ready now?"Of course, Amel as the younger sister of the man agreed with her brother's idea. She certainly wanted to see her brother happy together with the woman he loved. Moreover, she was a good woman who never left her brother under any circumstances, and she liked her very much. Besides being kind, she was also beautiful and very smart. There were so many women who envied that woman, and so many men who wanted to mak

After a few days of hospitalization, Ethan decided to go home because he was now in a better condition than before. His gaze then turned towards a woman who was currently standing not far from him. The woman was none other than Citra who was staring at him while wearing a smile. Of course, Citra knew that this time they decided to go home because last night the man said he no longer felt at home in the hospital. Actually, Ethan still had to be treated in order to be really in good condition, but since he felt uncomfortable in the hospital, inevitably, Citra agreed to the man's request and chose to take care of him when at home. At least the man wouldn't feel bored if he was at home."We're going home now, right, Citra?"The man asked again because he was afraid that suddenly a doctor or nurse would try to get in the way. Ethan already felt tired and shouldn't be in a hospital like this which would only make him more tired. Actually, he wasn't doing anything and wasn't really doing muc

Leona left the hospital with blurred eyes. She really felt sad because she got a rejection from the man who was supposed to be hers. How could that man reject her, after so many men wanted to have her and wanted to make her their lover? But what about that man? Yes, not affected by him at all. He should have had the same feelings as other men when he was close to her. But, unfortunately, that man seemed to have no heart.Leona, who continued to walk and saw nothing, suddenly bumped into a man who was just about to enter the hospital. The man was quite surprised when someone suddenly bumped into him. Luckily, he immediately tried to catch Leona who was about to fall or else she would have fallen on the floor."I'm sorry that I didn't see," Leona said, feeling a little guilty for suddenly realizing that she was trying to make a man fall because of her negligence.Without caring about the man, Leona decided to quickly walk away. In fact, she did not heed the man's calls at all. Meanwhile
Chapter 298
"Ethan, I have something to say to you, Ethan."After a long period of silence where it was just the two of them, Leona felt that this was her chance to express her feelings for him. After all, how long was she going to keep her feelings bottled up? The man in front of her had to know that she actually had feelings and wanted to be in a relationship. Even though he knew that the man liked Citra, but still, he should at least let him know that he had more feelings for the man and hope that those feelings would be reciprocated by the man.Ethan frowned in confusion, looking suspiciously at the woman in front of him. What was the woman going to ask? That is, what did she want to say? There seemed to be something quite important that the woman wanted to say, but somehow she was not ready to listen to it. However, refusing to listen didn't seem like a good idea, so inevitably she chose to nod her head, letting the woman say everything she wanted to say, even though she didn't like what the

"How are you, Ethan? Are you okay?"Leona asked immediately when she was right inside the man's room. It appeared that the man was currently hospitalized, and he was on a bed with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened to him. Though it was clear that the man had been kidnapped by someone unknown to Leona. She didn't know who had tried to kidnap the man. It seemed like she would ask later after having a short conversation with the man.Ethan smiled as he nodded his head. He knew that Leona had also helped search for him by mobilizing several men, as well as Leo who did not remain silent when he was in danger. The two of them were really instrumental in finding him, making him feel happy to have people close to him who were so kind and willing to look for him when in danger."I'm fine, Leona. Thank you for worrying about me."Leona just nodded her head. The woman decided to put down the fruits she had bought at a shop on the side of the road. She placed it right on the table,

"Where am I?"Ethan's gaze turned right and left, trying to ascertain where he was. Last he remembered, he was in a stuffy warehouse where people were trying to torture him, let alone a fat man who was so creepy. But why was she in a place that was all white, as if it was a hospital? It was because she had come to the hospital before, and had even been a patient. But, how could he be in a hospital like this now? Shouldn't he still be in the warehouse?Those questions kept swirling in his brain until he finally caught the face of someone smiling at him. It was Citra, a woman who was always by his side when he was not well. She smiled as if she was happy to see him awake."Citra, how did I get here? Wasn't I in a warehouse before?" he asked, staring at the beautiful woman whose gaze was currently drawn to him.Citra gave him a smile. She then helped the man to sit up and rested his head right on the back of the bed. "It's a long story, Ethan. But everything is fine now. You're safe now.
