“Gista.”


    Randy’s voice sounded soft, followed by a gaze so deep towards the figure now standing in front of him. Randy seemed unsure of the sight captured by his jet-ck eyes.


    There was a woman he hadn’t seen in a long time. Even tried to forget and bury alive all memories or anything rted to that woman.


    “Excuse me, Sir.”


    Alvin, Randy’s personal assistant, appeared to address him. It was he who brought another woman to be brought in to meet with the leadership.


    “Y-yes,” Randy responded hesitantly. “What’s up?”


    “Sorry to disturb your time. I’m here to bring and introduce Miss Agista, who is an expert staff from Velfire Singapore. They intentionally sent Miss Agista so that for the next two months, she can be Mr. Randy’s partner in handling the Velfire tender.”


    For a moment, Randy was stunned. Making sure of the person now standing in front of him. Whatever fate brought that beautiful woman suddenly and now visited him after so long.


    Is this God’s y? Why Agista, of all people? Why, after disappearing for so long, must she return now?


    “Miss Agista, pleasee in and talk with Mr. Randy first,” Alvin said, ushering the guest to enter.


    After that, he turned back to Randy. “I’ll leave now, Sir,” he bid farewell. “I think Mr. Randy needs privacy to discuss with Miss Agista. If you need anythingter, just call me.”


    Randy just nodded. Then let Alvin leave his office. Leaving him and Agista trapped in a somewhat awkward atmosphere.


    Of course, it’s ufortable. Imagine, after so long apart. Even in not-so-good conditions. Now, they have to be in the same room as if nothing had happened before.


    “Hun, do you still remember me?”


    The woman smiled broadly. From her eyes, it was clear how happy she was. Perhaps pleased to meet the man she hadn’t seen for a long time.


    “What kind of question is that, Gista?” Randy replied cynically. “Besides, what do you wanting here,” he said with a cold tone. His face, which was clearly shocked earlier, now slowly turned t.


    Meanwhile, the smile did not fade from the luscious lips of the woman named Agista. As iffortable, she continued to focus her brown eyes to stare at Randy’s figure in front of her.


    “Of course, I want to meet you, Hun. I came all the way from Singapore specifically to meet you. There’s a lot we need to talk about.”


    Randyughed cynically again. His ears tingled hearing Agista’s confession.


    “Meet me? What else do we need to discuss, Gista.”


    “Many things, Hun,” Agista confidently replied. “There’s a lot we need to talk about face to face besides work. There are also many misunderstandings that we both need to rify so they don’t linger in the wrong perceptions. And now, the choice is in your hands. Do we talk in your office, or do we choose another ce out there?”


    Randy took a slow breath. His two ck eyes seemed to be fixed for a moment. Ensuring the movements of the woman who smiled meaningfully in front of him.


    Randy knew exactly what kind of person Agista was. She wouldn’t give up, let alone leave before getting what she wanted.


    “Okay, let’s talk outside. But, you must remember. I don’t have much time to talk about unimportant things like this.”


    “Don’t worry,” Agista said while nodding. “You know what kind of person I am, right? I’m still the same Agista, Honey. So, let’s just chat in our favorite coffee shop first, how about that?”


    Randy didn’t respond. Instead of giving an answer, he reached for his coat hanging behind the chair. Putting it on, he walked towards the exit.


    Meanwhile, Agista seemed to be chasing after him. Aligning her steps, following Randy heading towards the elevator.


    Meanwhile, from a different direction, there was Ghea who identally caught the unusual sight. Clearly seeing how her husband was walking side by side, especially this time with a mature woman who seemed so beautiful in his eyes.


    ***


    “Ghe, why are you spacing out like that?” Joshua teased, noticing Ghea’s unusual and clearly abnormal behavior. “What are you thinking? National debt? Your face looks seriously intense.”


    However, just a few hours ago, the girl had left the leadership room with a wide smile on her face. Why did it suddenly change drastically? Whether it was because of eating something wrong or being possessed by some demon, Ghea’s mood seemed to change as if it plummeted suddenly.


    “It’s nothing, Jo.”


    “Lies!” Joshua retorted. “If it’s nothing, usually why-why. Come on, spill. I’m listening.”


    “I’m really fine. Just feeling a bit down,” Ghea replied half-heartedly. She appeared unwilling, as if reluctant to respond to what Joshua was asking her.


    “How can you be fine? We’ve been friends for a long time! Seriously, don’t you want to tell me what’s going on?”


    Ghea, who had pretended to focus on theputer screen in front of her, then turned. Staring at Joshua, who was clearly waiting for a more detailed exnation. Fortunately, there was no Denisa. Otherwise, her two friends would surely be busy teasing her.


    “No, really. I’m just curious. Earlier, when I was delivering documents to Mrs. Sonia’s office, I identally saw Randy leaving the room with a beautiful woman whom I don’t know, I just saw her. From the woman’s demeanor, it seems like they’ve known each other for a long time or are close. They walked togetherfortably.”


    “Probably a client. Or a work partner,” Joshua guessed, thinking as rationally as possible. His intention was to make Ghea calm down and not be grumpy like she is now. He didn’t want to see his friend’s ‘grumpy’ face like this.


    “It’s not like a client, being so familiar. Besides, the two of them also walked together to the elevator. They’re probably going out and having lunch together. Annoying!”


    Instead of feeling sorry orpassionate for what Ghea was telling, Joshuaughed. It was amusing to see the expression his friend showed.


    “Are you jealous of Randy?” Joshua teased, winking.


    “What kind of question is that, Joshua? Besides, what do you think? Of course, I’m jealous. What wife likes to see her husband going out or walking with another woman? Moreover, she looks even prettier.”


    Again,ughter rang out from Joshua’s lips. For the first time, he heard his friend admit it without hesitation.


    “A, jealous. Already in love, huh?”


    “Enough, Jo,” Ghea replied, annoyed. “I’m serious. And you’re making jokes.”


    “If you’re curious, why don’t you try contacting him? Call him or send a message. Ask your husband where he is, with whom, and what he’s doing.”


    Ghea stayed silent for a moment. Weighing whether it was necessary to contact Randy as Joshua suggested.


    “Toozy. Later, if he’s really in a meeting or having a discussion outside, I’ll be embarrassed.”


    “Said you’re curious?”


    “Well, yeah. But it’s embarrassing to initiate it.”


    Joshua sighed immediately. Ghea was really indecisive!


    “If it’s embarrassing, just ept fate, Ghe. Don’tin too much. Just wait for Randy to finish ande back to the office. Later, you can interrogate him about what he did with the woman. Now, focus on work. There’s still an hour left for the break.”


    Ghea pouted her lips. She wanted to protest, but Joshua had a point. Instead of being busy overthinking about what Randy might be doing outside, it was better for her to focus onpleting her work.


    However, when the break time arrived, Ghea did not see any signs of Randy returning to his office. Where could her husband be? One thing for sure, the curiosity that had subsided now surged back and even soared higher within her.


    Setting aside all her ego, Ghea decided to contact Randy first. The first alternative she chose was to send her husband a short message.


    Intentionally. Ghea was worried that if Randy was indeed in a meeting outside, it would be considered disturbing if she called him. That’s why she decided to send a message instead.


    Ghea: Uncle, where are you?


    One minute.


    Two minutes.


    Five minutes.


    Until finally, ten minutes passed without any response. Randy, who usually responded promptly to messages, for once did not reply immediately. Was he busy outside?Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    Setting aside all negative thoughts, Ghea took the initiative to send a message again. Hoping this time her husband would respond to what she sent.


    Ghea: Uncle, how about it? Having lunch together? I’ve been waiting for you in the room since earlier.


    Ghea: Seriously, I’m so hungry.


    Ghea: Uncle? Are you busy or what? Is it confirmed that you won’t apany me for lunch?


    Frustrated because none of the messages she sent received a reply, Ghea even decided to call Randy directly.


    However, even after the third call, there was no answer from her husband. So, where was Randy? Was it true that hepletely forgot his promise?


    Typical guy. All the same!
