Elle never knew if her life would be surrounded by many obstacles like this, since long ago it had been so, but since she became Enzo's secretary, somehow the burden of her life seemed to increase more and more. Enzo and the power and fame he has really made Elle have more and more bad thoughts.
To be honest, Elle just hates men who have as much power as Enzo does. Wherever the man goes, there must be someone who secretly follows him, such as journalists who are looking for the latest news or just journalists who are looking for the latest news with spices here and there. Countless people wanted to take down the man and all the effort he had. Unfortunately, Enzo is just too powerful with all the things at his disposal.
Then, the problem now is, Elle is stuck in Enzo's trouble. The photo of her second kiss in the parking area was captured by a malicious camera that wanted to take Enzo down and start spreading baseless news to rally public opinion.
Enzo was very calm to face such cheap gossip, because it was not the first time. Elle was also equally calm, her face did not hold any worries or riled, her heart alone was already
thrashed since yesterday. And indeed no one mentioned Elle's name clearly on the news. He just can not imagine what would happen if his identity as a princess Danuwijaya revealed. His efforts to hide will only be in vain.
“Let's take you home.”
Elle looked up from her desk, and found Enzo who was already standing in front of her desk. There was no meaningful expression on that face like before, making Elle even more convinced that their kiss lately meant nothing to this man. What did he expect? Enzo who suddenly loved her? Even in a dream, Elle never imagined such a thing to happen.
“I'm home alone, sir. After all there is still a little work that I have to finish,” said Elle calmly.
Enzo's gaze pierced Elle who again occupied himself with several maps and paper d his desk, his computer was still on. He should have known that this woman was more stubborn than a rock, but not Enzo by name if he did not manage to get what he wanted.
“Under the many reporters still on guard, they must have analyzed who you are. It would be safer if it was with me.”
“It will get even stranger if we go home together. Indeed the task of journalists like that, they will pursue anyone endlessly until they get what they want.”
Elle was still busy with the work before her without even staring at Enzo. She should have just resigned on a tortured appeal like this, or maybe accepted her mother's offer of being a woman of the night. He alone is too high in his self-esteem.
“You also enjoyed it that time,” Enzo said.
It took a while to digest the meaning of Enzo's sentence. Is this talking about kissing?
“You mean it's my fault too? Because this news is spread, then I become the culprit?”
Now Elle focused her attention on Enzo. After all, who would resist when a handsome guy suddenly kisses you? Yes, there may be some who will call you a cheap woman, but the fact is, we will not care about the title and just accept the kiss as if that is what should be done. Why be a hypocrite just because of a kiss?
“You enjoyed it, and I started it, and then this kind of gossip isn't the first time it's happened. I will definitely protect you, you just need to trust me.”
“Yes, of course. Your wealth is innumerable and you have great power in your hands, such gossip will never be a problem for you. All rich people are mostly like you.”
War of stares ensued, they could fry the eggs with just gazes that contained anger towards each other. It's not gonna end anytime soon. “I just wanted to take you home, I had no other intentions. So, can ki—“
“And I have clearly rejected it, do you also have to force me. Our relationship is not that close to deliver each other home, even .. kiss it too,” cut Elle firmly.
Enzo did not like the phrase, lately it feels like their relationship is getting closer, he also knowingly kissed the woman twice. It's his real feeling, and he's sincere. Elle is a very difficult woman. Enzo himself could feel the hidden feeling behind that calm face.
“Are you always this hard?”
“Can you—“
The sentence came to a standstill, as Enzo suddenly kissed Elle. Kissing, not tasting, it even brazenly******soft lips it. Their third kiss. This is one example that makes him weak and unable to resist, because he also likes it, even though on the one hand there is a fear that creeps.
“Did you still not understand what I'm doing up to now? Do I have to say it clearly to you to understand?”

Liliana's pregnancy this time is not filled with drama like the previous pregnancy, maybe some small drama as a spice of life. Departing to Bandung is one example of drama that is facing Liliana and Dimitri.
After yesterday made up, Liliana decided to follow the husband who has a job outside the city, more precisely Bandung. At Dimitri's invitation too, and Liliana also often accompanied the husband to go anywhere. Not to forget the principle of Liliana who likes free travel?
Don't think Liliana is stingy because of her actions, just want to say the truth, that indeed many people like this kind of trip. If it is smart to manage work and vacation time, then the service that was only three days will turn into something very fun. Liliana began to learn many things after becoming a wife. But, if there is only calmness in their journey, then there is none
the excitement in it.
“We're only three days in Bandung, Li. Why do you have two suitcases?” dimitri asked with horror.
They will drive to Bandung this time, if only take a plane and sit quietly in it, what is exciting? The trip this time is also made sure it will be exciting and noisy, Eagle will not come because this is not for a vacation even though Liliana is able to arrange it into a vacation trip. Unfortunately Dimitri has decided, considering Liliana's pregnancy is also getting bigger, has entered the twenty-ninth week.
Dimitri knew very well how painstaking Liliana was to take care of her husband as well as her child, but it seemed like this second pregnancy made Liliana slightly turn into another figure. Added to that with pregnancy hormones that at all times make Dimitri dizzy. He does not complain, only sometimes everything looks excessive for him.
“Have to do two suitcases, Li?” ask Dimitri. This time he lowered his voice intonation, keeping Liliana from suddenly letting out his emotions.
“Do I have to stay on the other one? I also feel that this is excessive earlier.”
See, right? What was Liliana a little sewot, now also turned soft. Said his mother, a pregnant woman is like this, as a husband he should enjoy what the wife does. Well, just enjoy it, because moments like this are also very rare.
“Yaudah, if you really need to bring both, just take it. I'm just horrified you packed two suitcases kayak gini when we were three days in Bandung.”
Liliana's smile spread wide at the words that came out of her husband's mouth. He hugged Dimitri's neck happily. Having Dimitri is one happiness that cannot be exchanged for anything. But it must be all husbands like Dimitri, right? He still clearly remembered how gentle Reno's treatment of Nabila when pregnant first, more or less like this Dimitri.
“Sorry, yes, you have to go to Bandung to make me work. You should just rest at home, continue to eat a lot so that our children are healthier in here,” said Dimitri. He stroked Liliana's distended stomach.
“Why apologize? I actually really like nemenin you get out of town, let alone just two like gini.”
Liliana tightened her arms around Dimitri's neck, wanting to get closer but realizing that her stomach was no longer possible. And he also missed their togetherness. This is the desire of the baby to always be close to his father. Oh, he also missed Dimitri's gentle rubbing on his stomach before going to bed, just a small but very meaningful thing for him.
“You sure? If you are angry on the road later because of traffic jam how?” moda Dimitri's.
A light punch landed on Dimitri's shoulder, Liliana also directly let go of the embrace. Dimitri actually laughed at Liliana's behavior which in her eyes was very adorable. It is true that pregnancy is capable
making the aura of female beauty more out, because Dimitri will not stop to admire the beauty of his wife, even when she was pouting like this.
“That's different, Al.”
Dimitri pinched Liliana's two increasingly filled cheeks, he decided to stop his laughter and immediately led his wife into the car. If they make out in front of the house like this, their time will be more wasted, and also the congestion will be longer.

When changing. Since the accident that befell Aidan, he became more protective of his son. He even gave up his lunch time just to pick up Aidan. Not only that has changed, his attitude towards Juna is also a little—not—quite a lot for Juna to feel. The boss was getting colder and very rarely joked like always.
Indeed, they both have to behave professionally in the office, but this time it feels different. Nabila which is usually a relaxed but firm Nabila, now there is only Nabila who is firm, cold, and also stiff, some joking Juna even more often not in pembaris by Nabila. Whereas with other employees, Nabila will willingly donate his laughter without the need to be asked.
Counting on one week since Nabila changed, Juna also found out if his first son had an accident. Is this also due to the influence of his son who was in an accident? But, why is it that only Juna Nabila is like that? Nabila also did not give Juna the opportunity to talk outside of work. For sure, there is something wrong with Nabila's attitude.
“Jun, I'm out to pick up my son. If there is anything, you can directly contact me,” said Nabila. He stood up from his seat and cleaned up some of the things he needed to carry.
Only that sentence came out of Nabila's mouth, and that was the only time Juna could interact with his superiors in addition to work. Usually Juna would only ask Nabila to be careful on the road, but he had no other time to talk to this woman.
“You want me anterin, Ma'am? Coincidentally I also want to stop by the house for lunch with Mama.”
Of course it's a lie. Juna just wants his time as it used to be with Nabila, even if he just threw a little joke at each other, or Nabila who nagged him, it would mean a lot. Juna could not face the silence of Nabila, let alone had a week passed.
“No need, I can do it myself. I'm first, yes.”
Before Nabila actually stepped his legs further, Juna had blocked Nabila's arm a little stronger. “All work is done, Ma'am. I, ah, we need to talk too. Something needs to be straightened out between us, Ma'am.”
Nabila was a little stunned by the sentence that came out of Juna's lips, also with the hand checks that were enough to hurt him a little. The man's eyes showed seriousness, making Nabila also unable to turn away. Juna who is like this at all has never known.
“I'll just be kejem—“
“Mbak will be back to dodge. It won't be long, and I can be your driver today, Mbak is not at any disadvantage here,” Juna cut.
Does Juna feel that he is being avoided by himself? Nabila has been very trying hard to do everything as usual and interact to taste. He thought it was enough, but look at it now, Juna and his serious face that Nabila had never seen since he first met.
“What do you mean by us? Why us? We're just co-workers, do you feel at a disadvantage with my attitude all this time with you? If so, you can immediately say it on the personnel section to move departments,” said Nabila.
Juna did not think that the sentence would be said by Nabila. It seems like all this time only he liked Nabila unilaterally, but several times he was sure if Nabila also kept something in his heart that
he can't reveal yet. It's not wrong if he thinks something that hasn't been revealed is himself, right?
“I hope you don't cross the line as a co-worker. I feel we have no problem at all, but if you do feel that way, you can immediately meet the personnel section,” continued Nabila again.
Nabila immediately released Juna's hand checks and passed from that place. He deliberately avoids Juna, so that something in his heart is not more explosive then he will hurt Juna and himself. The two will not be able to survive, any relationship will not work well, except colleagues like this.
