“So why are you so unhappy when someone talks about Jovanka,” Austin said as he looked at his phone as if he was talking directly to Adam, even though the nephew had even ended the phone call just because he mentioned the name Jovanka.
“Hmmmm.” Austin let out a long, deep sigh, then placed his phone on the desk while shaking his head helplessly.
Austin is completely confused, not knowing how exactly Adam feels about Jovanka—a woman who looks perfect in everyone's eyes.
Jovanka is known as a beautiful socialite and often invites nobles to party at Demeures De Luxe, Lancaster's residence. However, she is a very caring and loving wife. In fact, Jovanka herself serves the perfect meal for Adam, although Demeures De Luxe has many servants.
Given that Adam never had a relationship or was just close to another woman, Austin thought his niece loved Jovanka very much.
However, judging by how reluctant Adam was to talk about or just mention the name Jovanka, Austin thought the nephew hated the late wife very much.
“What's wrong with Jovanka until you've behaved like that since her death?” Austin muttered with curiosity.
The middle-aged man began to look away, trying to remember how happy Adam was when Jovanka was alive.
Moreover, when Jovanka announced her pregnancy in front of the Lancaster family, Adam was the happiest person there. In any case, he will soon become a father.
The love and care that Adam showed since his pregnancy looks so sweet that it makes everyone envious and eager to feel what it is like to be in the position of Jovanka.
Geck, tok, tok.
A knocking sound emanated from the door, stopping Austin's daydream. He sat up and sat down again, before finally asking someone out there to enter his room.
Julian Gammino, nephew of Monica—wife Austin Lancaster— walked into the room exclaiming in amazement. “Wah, Uncle ... once in the morning you came today.”
Austin smiled as he responded to the niece's astonishment. “Well, as you can see .. I just couldn't sleep and decided to come to work early in the morning.”
“What something has happened?” julian asked curiously while putting a document on the uncle's desk.
Austin shook his head, then replied, “Nothing.”
“Alright, then I go out first,” Julian said to Austin as he stared at the document he had just placed on the table. “Remember to check the document and ask someone to drive it to Adam.”'s office
Austin did not immediately take the document, he looked at Julian with his eyebrows raised next to him and asked, “Why aren't you the only one who delivered it to Adam?”
“You know how I relate to him, Uncle,” Julian said. “She won't accept my presence.”
“Aren't you guys friends?” Austin furrowed both of his eyebrows until they looked almost fused together. “Why won't he accept you?”
Austin has never seen Adam and Julian together again. In fact, before they looked like nails and skin that were inseparable.
Hearing that, Julian forced his lips curved to form a smile on his handsome face. “It was ... long before we knew Jovanka.”
Not wanting to be showered with so many questions from Austin who had curiosity as high as the sky, Julian asked for permission to leave the uncle's room. “I go first, Uncle.”
Then, Julian stared at the circular watch on his right wrist as he said, “There are clients that I should meet in a moment.”
Afterwards, he slid out of the Austin room, without waiting for a response from the uncle.
Seeing how strange the attitude of the nephew, Austin was hit by a deep curiosity. What really happened between you and Jovanka?”
On the other hand, Ayna walked down the company corridor with her body that looked like it had a soul.
‘That scarf's coat never contacted me even once. More importantly, I can't remember whether I slept with that perverted guy or not.'
“I heard you slept with him?” Questions from Anya Green—friend who is now a coworker at Brillant Avenir Enterprise, managed to make Ayna jumped in shock.
In fact, Ayna crossed her hands on her chest while looking at Anya with eyes that almost rolled out.
“With strangers,” added Anya indifferently, looking unconcerned with Ayna's shock and only focus on the phone in her hand.
“How do you know?” Ayna looked frightened and immediately researched her appearance from top to bottom, then again asked Anya, “It looks yes?”
Not answering questions from Ayna's curiosity, Anya said again, “I heard you had a one-night love affair, so Darren threw you away.”
Hearing that, Ayna immediately laughed cynically and denied the rumors. “I'm not cheating, she's the—”
Instantly, Ayna immediately opened the phone she had ignored since last night and found there were so many unread messages in her class chat group.
In the next second, Ayna opened and read one message at a time.
[Because of being caught cheating, Ayna was dumped by Darren]
[It's a shame]
[How could he do that?]
[Ayna spent the night with a foreign man? Did ya? Well, I didn't think she turned out to be that kind of woman]
[I also didn't expect her to be like that, whereas her face looked like she was a good woman]
[Eat him, don't be fooled by his innocent face!]
[Disposing such a woman is a good choice for Darren]
[Darren is poor]
“Hah?!” Ayna looked in shock after reading all those messages as if she was an evil, cunning and cheating antagonist. While Darren becomes a protagonist who deserves pity.
“Wah!” Ayna shook her head in disbelief at the damn rumor and felt herself vilified at the story being flipped towards her.
“It's really crazy!” ayna said with clenched teeth holding in anger at the series of messages that do not stop entering the group chat.
“You didn't really do it, did you?” It was hard for Anya to believe all those rumors.
After all, he and Ayna had been friends since childhood until it could be said that he was the closest person and knew the friend inside out.
So, regarding the rumors spreading in the group chat about Ayna spending the night with the man, it was absolutely impossible. Especially with a stranger!
“No, I—”
“After all the evidence, can you still deny it? Aren't you really shameless?”
Unfinished Ayna answered her best friend's question, suddenly a voice that sounded cynical and laden with the aura of rioting sounded from behind.
Ayna and Anya simultaneously stopped, even turning around only to see the owner of the voice who was none other than Lee Jaena— their classmates.
“Why is he here?” Anya whispered softly to Ayna who also looked confused by Jaena's presence.
Anya and Ayna clearly know that Jaena is not interning in the same place as them.
“He doesn't feel ashamed?
“I think, people who do love one night should get rid of,” said Jaena without caring about the wonder of Anya and Ayna, even deliberately amplified the volume of his voice so that what he said was heard by others as well.
After all, putting Ayna to shame was the purpose of Jaena's life!
“Enough, Lee Jaena!” ayna firmly glared at the woman who had the venomous mouth.
“Why? You're feeling distracted?” jaena replied fearlessly, even her gaze looked like she was challenging Ayna.
“Not so.” Ayna smiled cynically at Jaena. “Only, don't talk as if you know everything!”
“I will do what I want,” Jaena said no matter, her gaze and Ayna increasingly clashed as if she was racing to show who was the strongest among them.
