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
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
"That concludes our meeting for today. Let's hope we can secure contracts with more clients. You can all return to your work now," Citra wrapped up their office meeting presentation.Ethan, who had been watching and paying attention to everything Citra said, was left speechless.Not only did she have high value, but the woman was also very articulate.Citra was the true definition of a career woman. No one could match her."Ethan? Ethan! What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" Citra asked, snapping Ethan out of his daze.He straightened up, looking around at the now empty room with just the two of them left.No wonder Citra felt comfortable calling him by name."Nothing. I liked your presentation material today. Your leadership skills are incredible."Citra blushed, but covered it up with an indifferent expression, though her heart was clearly screaming inside.Shortly after, there was a knock on the meeting room door, revealing an employee who worked there."Excuse me, Mr
