The System of Power is Money Chapter 85
The next day, Citra and Ethan dropped Amel off at her campus.To make her happy, they were willing to be late for work.It didn't matter - they'd do anything to make Amel happy."Thank you guys! You're going to be late because of me. But really, thank you so much. I love you both," said Amel, hugging them as they looked back from the front seats.When it was time to part, Citra and Ethan just said goodbye from inside the car.They waved to Amel, gesturing for her to stay motivated."Call me when it's time to go home," Ethan said before leaving.Amel shook her head and told Ethan to just order her an online taxi. She didn't want to trouble him, especially during his work hours.After that brief conversation, Amel entered her campus.The smile never left her face as she looked around the campus, amazed that she would be studying there.Even now, Amel sometimes thought this was all just a dream or illusion in her head.She still couldn't believe she'd become a student at this big, fancy

Ethan opened the door to his and Citra's office, finding the woman's face looking blank, as if she was carrying a heavy burden in her mind.Luckily, he had returned with two cups of coffee in his hands. He approached Citra, offering one cup to her."To help you feel fresher. What are you thinking about?" Ethan asked, taking a seat right in front of the woman's desk.He then sipped his coffee while looking intently at Citra, waiting for her to speak up again."It's nothing. I'm just thinking about what Nike said that time. Is it true that Richard is planning something against my company?" Citra pondered.Honestly, this had been bothering her thoughts. Especially since that business was the only thing Citra owned.Although Citra clearly no longer managed the company, she secretly still kept an eye on it.She also didn't hesitate to send messages to Nike, providing solutions so that her company wouldn't fall into the abyss of defeat due to the competition."If he's really doing that, you

Time flew by so quickly without notice.Citra could hardly remember when she last thought about her parents. Her new life with Ethan made her much happier.Especially with Amel, who always showered Citra with affection, even accepting her into her life from their very first meeting."Good morning, Citra!" Amel greeted the woman with a smile.Noticing Amel's face seemed to be hiding something, Citra narrowed her eyes, looking closely at the girl."Alright. What can I help you with this time? You must have a college assignment, right?" Citra asked, able to guess what was on the girl's mind.Amel chuckled, showing her neat row of white teeth to the woman."Yes, Citra. I'm really struggling. I've been trying to answer this material but still don't understand it. It's the weekend, which should be your rest time. But just this once. Please help me. I don't understand this material at all."Amel clasped her hands together, begging Citra to be her private tutor.Seeing the girl's serious face

The next day, Citra and Ethan headed to the office as usual. They chatted casually, but this time Citra seemed to be expecting something from him.Realizing her hopes were unlikely to be fulfilled, Citra could only muster a weak smile.She had apparently been thinking too far ahead, hoping for the impossible."Any special plans today? Have you checked the incoming emails?" Ethan asked without taking his eyes off the road.Citra, prompted by the question, immediately opened the tablet in her hand, checking her company email and finding a new message.It seemed to have been sent just this morning."There's a client requesting a meeting at..."Citra furrowed her brow, confused by the location written there."What's wrong? Why did you suddenly go quiet?" Ethan asked, snapping Citra out of her thoughts.She shook her head, telling Ethan she was fine."There's a new email, supposedly from the supervisor. But this address... it seems familiar," Citra mumbled, looking puzzled.Ethan, not unde

That evening became a historic day in Citra's life.After spending many birthdays feeling empty, Citra finally experienced a new moment.Now, they sat in the shop Citra had mentioned earlier, celebrating her birthday."So, that email was fake?" Citra asked, looking at Ethan. She narrowed her eyes, already suspecting this was all his doing.Ethan, as usual, just smiled, scratching the back of his neck though it wasn't itchy at all."Not fake. The email was real, of course. It's just that there was no supervisor. It wasn't a business meeting but a meeting to celebrate your birthday," Ethan replied, making Citra feel so happy.Her face had been adorned with a sweet smile since earlier.These two people had managed to leave Citra speechless. They had impressed her with their plan."This spot? Whose idea was it?" Citra asked, feeling it couldn't have been Ethan's idea again.Confidently, Amel immediately raised her hand."I contributed this idea and the flying balloons. The rest was all ba

Crash! A small rectangular object was thrown, shattering one of the mirrors in the room beyond recognition.Just as the sound rang out, someone stood in the doorway."What's going on, Auntie?" asked the man, who was none other than Nike.The aunt Nike referred to was, of course, Mrs. Merry, who currently controlled the company that should have been inherited by Citra.However, due to her selfishness and business acumen, the company remained under Mrs. Merry's control. She had no intention of giving it up or even revealing this fact."What about that cousin of yours? Have you been watching her? Or did you deliberately leave her alone?" Mrs. Merry asked, glaring at the man.Nike, feeling innocent, furrowed his brow, confused by Mrs. Merry's words."Open your phone. Look at the news that disrespectful journalist just posted today. Your cousin's face is clearly visible, and she seems to have no shame left. She's really brought disgrace to this respectable family," Mrs. Merry said firmly i

A perfect smile adorned Citra's face. She never imagined she could be this happy.Currently, Citra was in her room lying on her stomach, her legs lifted in the air, swinging to the rhythm of her joyful heart."Come on, Citra! What's wrong with you? How did you end up like this?" Citra mumbled, shaking her head.The woman smiled, seemingly unable to control herself.Her gaze was clearly focused on all the photo prints from her birthday.Remembering they still had a lot of work to do after being away all day, Citra and the others decided to go home that night.So, it was no surprise that Citra was already in her room tonight.The whole time, Citra just stared at those photos, her face blushing when she saw again the photo of herself kissing Ethan.What had happened to Citra? Why did she suddenly take the initiative to do all that? It seemed Citra had lost her mind.She then lay down on her back, staring at the ceiling of her apartment.A perfect smile adorned her face, while both her ha
The System of Power is Money Chapter 92
When break time arrived, noisy sounds could be heard coming from Citra's desk, making Ethan, who had already finished his work and was just pretending to be busy on his computer, glance at the girl out of the corner of his eye.He could see how the woman was making hurried movements, ready to go somewhere.Without saying anything else, after fiddling with her phone, Citra quickly slung her bag over her shoulder and rushed out of the room.Ethan, who could only watch the woman's departure in silence, suddenly leaned back in his chair.Rubbing his face roughly, the man then ran his fingers through his hair aggressively."What are you doing, Ethan?! Your behavior is only creating distance between you and that woman," Ethan muttered, cursing his foolishness.A long sigh was clearly heard escaping the man's mouth. He couldn't think clearly after realizing how Citra seemed to prioritize her reputation over Ethan's feelings."What's going on in your head, Ethan? Of course she won't think abo

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

"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.
