Citra returned to the hotel where Ethan had paid to extend her stay for some time in the future.As usual, the woman's face returned to being flat and untouched, very different from when Ethan found her on the beach earlier.Now, Ethan understood the reason behind that curt and untouched face. It was merely a shield that the woman thought would protect her from any disappointment that could possibly come to her at any time."Please, Miss. You can use the wardrobe over there, it's still empty," Ethan said as their room door opened.Citra then looked towards Ethan, her brow furrowed when she saw there were two different beds there."Did you just ask for a single bed?" Citra asked, looking at him.Ethan returned the woman's gaze, looking in the same direction as Citra.A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded his head for a few moments."It's okay, Miss. You can sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor. Let me help you arrange your other belongings, Miss," Ethan replie
Citra swallowed her saliva with difficulty, seeing Leo, whom she knew as a high-ranking, wealthy businessman, but who was able to devour the food at that roadside stall so voraciously.Didn't the man feel it was dirty? Or at least feel that this place was not his level? Citra was unsure if a place like this was clean.Just look, since earlier Citra had not even touched the food ordered for her. Even the glass of orange juice she ordered was letting out steam at the edge of the glass.It seemed Citra really couldn't drink that orange juice. This was the first time Citra had set foot in a place like this, maybe from the outside it looked ordinary and clean.However, for some reason it was just difficult for Citra to decide to eat the dish in front of her."Sorry, Miss Citra. I was eating very hungrily. Let's discuss the important thing or whatever later. For now, let's just eat. Please, Miss. You'll surely be amazed because even though it's a roadside stall, the taste is no different fr
Richard returned to his office as usual. Since earlier, the man had been tirelessly trying to find the whereabouts of his boss, none other than Citra."It's unusual. Usually, Miss Citra would have greeted and often scolded many people by this time. But now, why are there no signs of her presence. Suspicious. What has actually happened?" Richard muttered, constantly trying to look towards the woman's office.He was even now willing to stand by the wall not far from Citra's office, he didn't want to be seen by anyone.Maybe some who saw him would think that Richard seemed to be waiting for someone or something, it's impossible that anyone would think he was monitoring his boss's office.Not long after that, Richard could clearly see a woman walking towards him, or rather, she would be walking towards the office that Richard had been watching all this time.Before the woman could pass him, Richard stopped her steps."Wait, Jen. Are you going to Miss Citra's office?" Richard asked, unwill
"Do you want a specific convenience store? Or anywhere we find one?" Ethan asked while still looking ahead. As the driver, it was fitting for Ethan to pay attention to the road to ensure their safety."Hmm...doesn't matter. I'll go wherever you take me."Ethan then nodded his head. He understood, even though the woman was going to shop for her needs at the mall, she didn't want to burden Ethan with the cost that would surely be high."If so, wherever I take you, you have to agree without refusing, okay?" Ethan said then.Citra then turned her gaze to the man, nodding her head the next second.Ethan then drove the woman's car, but before they were halfway there, suddenly there was an incident that caught Ethan's attention.The speed of the car driven by the man was then slowed down by him, making Citra furrow her brows. She then looked towards Ethan, who was actually fiddling with his phone.When Citra realized the man was about to put down his phone, at the same time Citra was going t
A smile bloomed perfectly on Richard's face. He had just obtained the documents Martin needed."I must meet Mr. Martin right away. I can't wait to see what reward I'll get from all of this," Richard mumbled, hoping to get a position at the famous man's company.Without notifying the office first, Richard then immediately left when Martin informed him that the car to pick him up had arrived.With obvious happiness radiating from his face, Richard sat in the back like a boss who had just been picked up by his driver."If I had a high position like this, being a wealthy person, I wouldn't need to think about how much money I spent," Richard mumbled. The car Richard was riding in was clearly worth billions of dollars.Just for the car used to pick him up, Martin spared no expense sending it to his office.It meant after this, Richard would get a high position at Martin's company. For some reason, he was extremely confident and sure about it.For a long time Richard was absorbed in his ha
Richard gave a wry smile, even though he didn't get the position he wanted, at least 1 billion dollars wasn't a small amount of money that could be trivialized by him.If so, no matter how, Richard would do whatever it took to get that large sum of money."Just watch! I'll definitely get what I've been working towards so far," Richard mumbled, clenching his fist.Not long after that, he exited, staring sharply at the bodyguard who had insulted him before, walking towards the car that had originally brought him."Please, sir," the driver said politely. He then opened the rear door of the car for Richard.Richard was pleased that he was currently like a boss.As the car was about to move, an incoming call on the man's phone made him immediately look at it with a furrowed brow."Wait a moment, sir," Richard replied, not wanting them to leave first.After ensuring the driver had followed his words, Richard then focused on his phone."Hello, Darling? What's up?" Richard asked the person on
"Where else do you want to go?" Ethan asked, glancing towards the woman beside him. Since earlier, Ethan hadn't heard a word from the woman, she was silent as if out of words.Ethan then glanced briefly at Citra, the woman seemed to be staring out the window that he had intentionally opened."Citra? Hey? Want to stop somewhere else?" Ethan asked, making the woman shake her head."Let's just go home."Ethan furrowed his brow, he felt that previously nothing had happened between him and Citra.However, a second later Ethan was reminded of the reality of the woman who often became curt.He was also only a partner and helping the woman, in reality Citra was still her usual self, always indifferent and oblivious to her surroundings.Ethan drove the car again, heading to the hotel where they were staying.***Throughout the journey until now they were in the room, Citra completely ignored Ethan. She didn't even say anything since earlier, she went to take a shower and then prepared to go to
Ethan then got out of the car along with Citra, who also got out just to see him off."Thank you for going through the trouble of dropping me off like this. You shouldn't have been this late on your first day of work," Ethan said, looking at the woman with a guilty feeling in his heart.Citra, upon hearing Ethan's words, shook her head, disagreeing with the statement that had just come out of his mouth."Don't say things like that. I also asked for permission from Mr. Leo. So, don't worry," Citra replied with a small smile.After that, Ethan then bid farewell to the woman because the bus he was going to take was about to depart."In that case, I'm off. Take care of your health. I'll be back as soon as possible," Ethan said, returning the woman's smile with an even broader one.He then raised his hand, waving as if signaling a parting to the woman.Ethan felt more at ease; he didn't expect his relationship with the woman who was known for being cold and even untouchable to gradually im
