Juna is not really happy with what he is doing right now with himself and Nabila. He had done things to avoid all thoughts about the woman, but his heart could not change that fast. Arlina also did not help him at all, he was actually disturbed by the existence of the woman. The purpose of Juna approached Arlina just to provoke Nabila, hoping for a little if later Nabila would be jealous. But it seems impossible.
Absolutely nothing can replace Nabila for him, even though only briefly he was familiar with the woman. Helaan breath Juna back heavy when thinking of Nabila. Why can't he make Nabila by his side? Why is it so hard to face Nabila?
“Why are you, Jun? The food is not good, huh?”
Ah, Juna had almost forgotten the fact that he was having dinner with Arlina. Talking to Arlina was the most boring thing he ever did, but what he did was not talking either, because all this time the more talk only Arlina. Imagine when almost three full hours, Juna was forced to listen to all the complaints and also the woman's interest in something.
All that Arlina talked about was about her, whether that was what she liked or about the groceries she bought at exorbitant prices. What is clear, all of that is not included in what Juna wants to talk about. Juna would prefer to talk to Nabila friends like that time.
See, right? No matter how hard he ignored the thought of Nabila, his own mind went back to thinking of the woman.
“Enak, really. You are smart to choose a restaurant,” praise Juna.
Another thing that Juna hates, is all about luxury. He was sure one hundred percent if Arlina would not want to eat at a roadside stall. How could Juna like Arlina like this? This is why he is only close to Nabila, and feels at home near the woman.
It is difficult to find a woman as simple as Nabila, everything in Nabila is very Juna likes, he can not even find one thing that he does not like. Except for the fact that his age was four years younger, but it was only four years old, what was wrong with that? Is it a big mistake to love each other when they are only four years old?
“From childhood, I was with my family already eating at this restaurant. Five-star restaurant that not everyone can come to.” Arlina chuckled at the end of her sentence.
Juna simply gave a nod of approval to the sentence. Even in the next life, he still will not choose Arlina to be his partner. He wants at least Nabila already know their closeness and Juna can also prove to Nabila if he does not match Arlina.
“What do you like about me?” ask Juna.
“Tumben you are like gini?”
“Just want to know.” Juna raises his shoulders. He has no other topic to talk about, and he is tired of hearing the story of Arlina who he does not want to know at all.
“Udah clear, right? You are handsome and indeed the type of guy who is the dream of all women, as unwillingly in our office. Not just me actually, there are still many other women who think like that.”
Very classic. What ‘tampan’ has always been the reference type of dream man? Maybe yes, but what other factors do not exist? He didn't mean to be arrogant, but such a reason was very cliche, right?
“Then we will not match.”
“Why? Do you know where we won't fit in?”
“Our principles are not in line, you are gnebosenin, and you are not my type.”
The shock was so vividly reflected on Arlina's face, why did that cruel sentence come out of Juna's mouth? Does this guy have to say it so honestly like this? His teary eyes suddenly held back tears, but for two weeks they were fine and Arlina's love for Juna began to increase.
“Is it just Mbak Nabila that matches you? You think he's better than me?” asked Arlina in flames. He was completely unwilling to accept that no one wanted to be with him when he had everything.
At first, Juna had absolutely no intention of hurting Arlina. He just wanted to test the nature of this woman a little, then without great effort, this woman began to show her true nature. They really don't fit in at all.
“Why should you bring others with you because of this problem?” juna asked calmly.
“It was a reality. How many do you think Nabila brainwashed you? He can't just be quiet with you. The whole office also knows that you don't match him.”
So it's like this? He and Nabila have been the talk of one office, and it's about their relationship. Nabila insisted on pushing himself away, he could understand how much discomfort the woman felt. Juna gave a small laugh as he managed to understand all of Arlina's sentences.
“You know, your statement earlier managed to make me more sure that you do not match me, not even a little.”
“I'm sure you'll suck because I'm sick of it like this.
Arlina got up from her seat and cleaned up the things she was carrying, and then she immediately left the cafe where they met. Juna didn't even care about Arlina's departure at all, good as that, because he was fed up with her as well. And will he make sure not to regret anything he has made, why regret the woman who has even made himself more want to build a high anti-social fortress? He doesn't like a chatty woman like Arlina.

After realizing his feelings for Elle, Enzo finds out that he can't just stand by and let Brian be around Elle again. But, he also did not want to show if he blatantly protected the woman. He still wants to hope Brian doesn't know anything about him, although he is very sure if it is very unlikely. Impossible, right, if a man who has power like Brian knows nothing and still carries out his plan to take over the shares in the company Enzo.
But, who knows? Not all such rulers are equipped with intelligent brains, some are only born with mediocre brains but have very intelligent tactics. If so, it should be from the beginning Brian was also aware of the plans that Enzo had compiled.
“What if I could get Brian out of your life, would you accept me?”
“It wasn't Brian that made me unable to accept you, so don't expect much from me.”
“You don't want to give me a chance? I promise I'll do anything for you to accept me.”
The sentence was still ringing in Elle's ears after a week of his encounter with Enzo. He realizes the man's persistence in pursuing her, but there's still nothing Elle can't accept, even if the man has already sacrificed his life. Accepting the man into her life only makes her even more dangerous.
What if something bad happened between Enzo and Brian just because of him? Wouldn't that be one of those absurd things? Two influential people in the business world will drop each other just because of a woman, then there will be many journalists covering the news and making it as a news headline. And it can be imagined how many highlights he will get, and finally can be imagined.
“What else? I thought of a way to get rich in a short time, but still couldn't find a way.”
Caroline chuckled with a soulless flat sentence spoken from her daughter's lips. Their relationship has not been too close, but it has shown signs of harmony as time goes on. And Elle officially quit her job as a secretary, then became a filial son by staying at home to take care of their small apartment while her mother worked.
“Leave you marry Brian or Enzo, I'm sure you're instantly rich in a second.”
“You don't love your daughter at all, do you? How could you sacrifice me to those two men?”
“Yes, as long as I can get what I want from those two men. So, which one will you choose?”
Elle handed over the newspaper that had been under the folds of her hand. Today's headlines really make him distrust his eyesight, it seems he had to check with an eye specialist to get first aid on his minus eye.
KEY EAST CORPORATION CANCELLED GOLD METALIST'S STOCK DUE TO ALLEGED CHEATING FROM GOLD METALIST.
Gold Metalist is a company led by Brian, Elle does not know how many shares Brian has in Key East Corporation, but from the news that he just read, we can confirm that Brian is in big trouble. It would tarnish Brian's name and make many speculate on what happened.
“So, is Brian going to fall this time?” ask Caroline.
“He won't fall that fast.”
“You don't want to avenge your father? Looks like this is gonna be a good time. He won't fall this fast, but the more pressure from various parties, won't it make it harder?”
Elle looked at her mother carefully. It's true what Caroline said, but what she could do, there wasn't the slightest bit of evidence that could make her take the man down. Brian himself ruthlessly obliterated the evidence.
“What can I do? I have no power for that.”
“Then what is Enzo near you for? Make the most of the man, or ask him for his help openly. The man obviously likes you and will do anything for you,” Caroline said confidently.
There was nothing wrong with her mother's words, only Elle was still in doubt. He can do that, but what if Enzo likes him more? He did not want the man to get too involved in his personal life. He wants to like the guy naturally, like the other women out there.

Reno had already returned to the house she lived with Reni, her facial features had gotten better and started to smile a lot. Spending a week with his son, made good energy gather in the
around him, he also managed to convince his son about the state of his parents. Although there is still little belief that Aidan did not fully accept his explanation.
Although only about to turn six, Reno knew that her son was very smart and began to understand some of the things adults do. There are both positive and negative sides that he can feel as a father. His fear of the trauma that will befall his two children is growing, and Aidan will be more likely to do so. If only he could be a little better at being a father.
The first thing Reno found when she opened the door was Reni. The woman was sitting on a living room sofa with a low volume illuminated television. This is also one that will be part of Aidan's trauma, as Reni will definitely be back touching that son, in any form.
“How's Aidan?”
“I'm tired, I'll break above.” Reno ignored Reni who seemed to have sat down to wait for her. There was nothing Reno wanted to talk about, nor did he want to say anything to the woman.
“About the divorce, and doctor Aluna. I'll do it.”
Reno's steps stopped, but she did not turn her body. Good if it's like that, it means Reno will start to change the woman. Not to love Reni, he did this on the basis of his fellow companions. There was at least a good thing he left before completely leaving the woman alone.
“As a condition, no divorce.”
Now Reno's body turned to look at the woman completely. “What do you mean?”
“You want to postpone the divorce that I filed yesterday on the grounds of wanting to help me get out of my troubles, and I will. As long as that time goes by, I will also make you see me as
women you can love.”
Reno's view narrowed. He knew this woman was cunning, he just didn't know how much cunning Reni had, and now he knew. His chest rumbled back in anger, why was his kindness back in the wrong use when he just wanted to help a fellow friend? Even today, Reno still considers Reni his best friend, despite the mistakes that have been made by the woman. What a noble heart Reno.
“Until whenever I won't love you, I just want to help as a friend. Never expect more than this,” said Reno.
“You are aware of what you are doing right now? You gave me a chance to get into your life indirectly. I gave you the freedom to divorce, but you refused. Then now, when I say this, you drop everything again.”
The words Reni spoke were laden with wounds, Reno could tell. Which makes him more confident, Reni's mental condition is in an unstable state. This woman needs help, and no one will help her except Reno. Both parents though, have been very sure will not care.
“I never gave you hope, you created that hope as if I would love you. Stop that whole fucking thought, Ren. I will only help you as a friend, nothing more, you know that all I love is Nabila.”
Reni got up from her seat, she walked over to Reno who was still putting on a face full of anger. “I don't care, this is my mind. I decide what to create for my own mind.”
Whether the madness of what else will happen, Reno has just awakened the demon in Reni, a demon who might even devour the good that Reno has given.
