Ethan quickly approached Citra, afraid that the man standing before the woman was a bad person.He immediately touched both of her shoulders."Are you okay?" Ethan asked, looking at her.Citra, snapping out of her daze, glanced at Ethan and nodded her head."Yes. I'm okay." Citra responded with a smile on her face.She then looked intently at Ethan, thankfully he managed to understand the meaning behind that look. This was supported by her encircling his arm with hers."Oh yes, dear. Let me introduce you, this is my cousin. His name is Nike. This is who I told you I met before heading to the office."Ethan then pretended to look toward the man in front of them, extending his hand to shake his."Ethan," Ethan said, flashing a warm smile.Nike glanced at him briefly before finally returning the handshake. "Nike. Citra's cousin who has a very close relationship with her," Nike stated firmly while forcing a smile at the man."Ah, I just remembered. So you asked my permission this morning

Awkwardness occurred between them. Because last night's events made this morning, not a single dialogue came out of either of their mouths.Even during breakfast or when they were in the same car like this. Ethan just focused on driving while Citra tried to busy herself with her cell phone, though it was clear Citra was just scrolling through the screen.When the uncomfortable feeling started to cross its boundaries, making both of them think about ending it."Come on, Ethan! You can do it! A man has to start first or this atmosphere will continue endlessly. Remember! Women do not have the ability to break the ice. So, you have to start first," Ethan mumbled to convince himself.While on the other side, Citra seemed to have the same thought."Oh well. It's better if I make small talk by asking about work and so on. Maybe the man should start, but it seems Ethan won't. A guy like him will just keep holding on and who knows when he'll end all this," Citra thought to herself. After let

"Shouldn't we go back to the apartment instead? Your suit is dirty because of me. Is that okay?" Citra asked, looking apologetic.Ethan shook his head, not bothered by it at all."Well then, let's just go in now."Ethan nodded, carrying the food he had bought earlier as they got out of the car."Come on, let's go! What else?" Ethan asked when he saw Citra seemed to be paying attention to something.He also looked towards the silver car."It seems he came here. I clearly recognize this car. It looks like it belongs to..."Before the woman could finish her sentence, someone had already cut her off."Good morning, my beautiful cousin! As promised, I came to visit my cousin's new workplace!"Ethan and Citra simultaneously turned towards Nike. The man had arrived carrying a large pizza in his hands, which he then gave to Citra."For you. I know you really like this expensive pizza," Nike defended his offering.Because at that moment, Nike could see out of the corner of his eye how Ethan wa

Citra tried to focus on what she was working on currently.However, since the incident this morning that made her truly uncontrollable, it made Citra unable to think properly at the moment.All of her thoughts were dominated by the realization that there was something that had been planned by her cousin.Citra was absolutely certain that it was not a coincidence, but rather had been planned. If it was true that there was a plan, but what was it?The woman was still trying to digest everything."Take this. Hopefully it can calm your troubled mind," said Ethan, offering the woman a cup of coffee."Thank you," Citra replied quickly.A fairly long sigh came out of her mouth, causing the woman to then take the coffee cup and drink it. Hoping that her mind would also become calmer."What's wrong? Are you thinking about something?" Ethan asked, looking intently at the woman.Citra then shook her head, cupping her face with both hands, trying to be able to think better."That's how it is. It

Amel woke up from her bed, feeling something that made her uncomfortable. She then stretched her body, getting up from her bed."Ouch! Why does it feel uncomfortable?" Amel asked herself.She then got up, and without realizing it, her gaze turned towards her bed."Oh my! What is this? I didn't realize I got my period?"Amel clicked her tongue in annoyance, then looked around but couldn't find any pads there.She tried searching but couldn't find any."Oh! If it's like this, everything could leak everywhere. I have to find pads right away," Amel muttered, about to hurry off.However, the incident from the other day made the woman suddenly fall silent, digesting everything that happened.She then immediately took her phone, trying to call Citra and Ethan.Over and over again, but her phone calls were not answered by either of them."What do I do now? I haven't been taught how to order online by Ethan and Citra. So now what should I do?" Amel monologued again.She had no other choice but
The System of Power is Money Chapter 59
Slowly, Amel opened her eyes, trying to look around to see where she might be right now.The fragrant aroma of medicines was clearly noticeable to her sense of smell, making Amel try to straighten her body."Careful, let me help you," said a man whose face was still not clearly visible to Amel's view.The woman then expressed her thanks to the man who had helped her."It's okay. I can manage on my own," Amel replied, refusing help from the man.Amel tried to create some distance, briefly thinking it was Ethan, but seeing his clothing style, it wasn't as she had imagined.The woman then stretched out her hand, touching her temple, massaging it gently."Drink this first. You've just been in an accident, it's normal if you feel dizzy," said the figure, making Amel nod her head reluctantly.She then accepted the glass of water, drinking it until only half of it remained."Yes. Thank y..."Amel fell silent, her eyes widening as she saw the face now not far from her.Her thoughts suddenly s

Citra and Ethan quickly headed to the room the hospital receptionist had mentioned earlier.Their faces both showed clear signs of worry and concern for the girl's condition."Thank you, nurse," Amel said, causing them both to start calming down.Long sighs of relief could be heard from both of them. They were grateful that nothing serious had happened to the girl.There were just a few wounds that needed bandages to cover them.The nurse then left, replaced by Ethan and Citra who approached the girl."Are you okay? Are you hurt? Does anything hurt?" Ethan asked, appearing concerned about the girl's condition.Amel, with a smile that always shone on her face, shook her head, indicating that she was fine."I'm okay, bro. I was just waiting for you two. I'm allowed to go home now."They both sighed in relief, but deep concern for the woman's condition was still clearly felt by both of them.Citra then reached out her hand, hugging the girl. Although they had just met, Citra already felt

Citra let out a long sigh. Tonight, she decided not to go to sleep right away, but to relax for a moment on the rooftop of her room.Her mind felt so full, realizing that there had been too many problems and events lately.Maybe in the past her life seemed so flat. She didn't understand how to smile and appreciate other people's feelings.But all that had managed to make her unable to think about anything other than focusing on her work.However, somehow now Citra could feel a drastic change in herself. She felt her life was much more colorful, but because there were too many colors she felt, her life was surrounded by many problems.Sigh...Citra exhaled, unable to comprehend how just because of money and power, both her parents forgot that Citra was their child.Instead of understanding what Citra's heart wanted, they blamed Citra and thought that Citra was an ungrateful child.All of this was really bothering her mind right now.Knock! Knock!The sound of knocking on her bedroom do

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
Chapter 303
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,

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.
