Demian and Lia had already managed to bring Nur to Switzerland. They arrived at the Demian Mansion by nightfall.
"Surprise." Demian said to the mother upon entering the mansion.
Clara walked up to her son and hugged him. "Who are they Demy?" Said Clara while watching the two women next to Demian.
"introduce. The one wearing the ivory shirt is mommy's daughter-in-law." Demian pointed at Lia. Spontaneous alone Lia widened her eyes and at that instant she stepped on Demian's feet quite hard.
"So you're Ava Celia?" Ask Clara.
"Do you know my full name, ma'am?" Ask Lia astonished.
"Demian told me a lot about you." Clara approached Lia and patted her shoulder.
Lia smiled stiffly as she was at a loss to respond to what Clara had said just now.
"Include, I'm Nur Madam. Lia's friend." He introduced himself to Clara.
Clara looked at Demian and Demian knew that the mother's gaze contained a question. Who is this woman next to Lia? That's what Demian caught from his mommy's eyes.
"He's Nur, from Malaysia. He'll join our foundation's management mom."
"Welcome dear, and welcome to join." Clara shook Nur's hand as a greeting.
"Well, I'll take them to the room for a break." Demian.
"Let mommy drive them Demy."
Clara took Lia and Nur to the guest room. "This is your room. Don't hesitate if you need anything." Clara.
"Thank you madam." Lia's words were accompanied by a nod.
"Don't call the lady. Just call aunty." Pinta Clara with her warm smile.
"Alright aunty, thank you." Reply Lia.
"You're welcome."
Lia and Nur went into the room and circulated his gaze.
"Noor." Call Lia still rolling her gaze across the room.
"Yes?" Reply Nur.
"Are we in the palace?
Nur Chuckled at Lia's words. "Maybe."
"I knew Demian was from a rich family, but I didn't expect him to be this rich." Lia had increasingly felt unworthy of Demian's preferential treatment all along.
"Looks like Demian likes you Lia."
Lia looked towards Nur. "She said several times that she liked me." Lia
sit on a king-size bed and press it with your palms. "But I feel very inappropriate for Demian.
"Why are you talking like that Lia? Everyone deserves to be in love and loved. And you need to understand that love is not about possessions or social status." Nur.
"Here you go, I'm not ready for a relationship at the moment anyway."
"What are you afraid of Lia? You motivate a lot of people but you're so insecure with yourself."
"I'm afraid I can't make her happy. Demian is too perfect. I can't keep myself for him.
Look, this mansion doesn't match my hut in the village. So many of my shortcomings. If I record it's probably gonna take a whole page." Said Lia at length.
"Then if one day a normal guy likes me, do you think I'm inappropriate too? Is that your point of view, Lia?" Ask Nur.
"It's not like that I mean Nur. I.., don't talk about it anymore.

Everyone looked down respectfully as Demian walked into the room. He gathered all the staff and introduced Nur openly.
"He is Nur, a new member of the foundation, and will join the social division." Demian's speech was short, dense and clear.
"Hello all. I'm Nur, from Malaysia. Please guide and cooperate." Nur introduced himself.
But it was precisely Lia who was currently the center of attention because Demian was embracing Lia's shoulder.
Lia glanced sharply at Demian and was responded to a relaxed smile by Demian.
"Do I need to repeat my statement of love here?" Demian's whisper was right in Lia's ear.
Lia widened her eyes. "Be careful if you mess around." Reply to Lia in a whisper.
Demian chuckles. He walked forward and took over the conversation after Nur finished introducing himself.
It made Lia panic. What if Demian is really reckless to repeat his love statement here? That's what Lia had in mind.
"Well, that's all I want to say. Please come back and do your own work." Demian.
Lia took a long breath. "Thank God he's still sane." Mumbled Lia quietly
" We'll go Nur, the division head will tell you your duties here. I hope you can adjust to the others soon." Demian.
"All right, have a good day." Nur replied then turned his gaze towards Lia and waved his hand.
Lia replied with a wave of her hand and left at a quick pace.
"Why are you walking like you're seeing a ghost?" Demian asked Lia.
"Yes, and your ghost." Answer Lia ketus.
Demian laughed and continued following Lia.
After the foundation, Demian brought Lia to his company. Lia could only resign herself and hope that this day would end soon.
"Good morning sir." said Mona, secretary of Demian.
"Morning. Was there a problem when I left?" Ask Demian.
"No Sir. We can still handle it." Answer Mona.
"good. Make us hot chocolate. The weather outside is cold." Demian's orders led Lia into his room.
"What did you bring me here for?" Ask Lia.
"I haven't been to the company for a long time. I have a lot of work to do. And there's no way I'm gonna leave you by the side of the road. That's why I brought you here." Replied Demian who was still struggling with his laptop.
"Hhhh, it's up to you."Lia resigned.
A woman opened the door of Demian's room without knocking.
"Hi, Demy. Glad you're finally back." Said the woman and kissed Demian's cheeks, regardless of Lia who was now beside her. He is Vinny. Son of Demian's business partner.
"Next time knock on the door before entering." Demian said with a flat expression.
"Why? It's usually like this, right?" Vinny protest. "Who is Demy?"
As yet, Demy replied, Lia moved from her seat. "I'm sorry, excuse me to go to the toilet first."
Arriving at the toilet Lia washed her face and rubbed it rough ."Am I being jealous? It seems to hurt like this. Come on, Lia, don't use your feelings." Lia was talking to herself.
Almost half an hour Lia was on the toilet just to condition her messed up heart. And when he came out, he was shocked to find Demian staring beside the door.
"What are you doing in front of the ladies' room?" Ask Lia full of search.
"You've been inside too long. I'm worried about you." Demian looked so anxious.
