Flora awoke from her sleep when she heard a voice that was quite disturbing to her. She looked beside her and it turned out that Charles was no longer in bed.
Again Flora heard a voice that disturbed her hearing. And the sound came from the bathroom. Flora immediately got off the bed and chose to stand restlessly by the bedside.
Not long after that the bathroom door opened. There was Charles who had just come out of the bathroom with a towel that was just wrapped around his waist.
However, Flora's focus shifted to Charles' pale face.
"Hey dear," said Charles to Flora who was standing on the side of the mattress, then briefly fenced Flora's lips.
Flora cupped Charles in the face as they let go of his kiss.
"You look very pale, Charles. Are you sick?" flora said anxiously, sticking the back of her hand on Charles' forehead. And sure enough, the man's body was warm.
Instead of answering, Charles chose to sit on the edge of the bed and pulled Flora's body to sit on her lap.
"I'm fine. I just feel a little dizzy and nauseous. Maybe it's because I've been up all day."
"You're! I told you, don't take too much care of your job! You also need Charles' rest" said Flora.
Charles smiled sweetly at his wife's protective attitude. She really likes it. Because indeed some days Flora always scolded him because Charles always worked late at night without caring about his health.
"Even if I'm sick, it's important that you take care of me!" chortling Charles.
"I don't want you to get sick!" Flora hit Charles on the shoulder in annoyance.
However, Flora's annoyance turned to anxiety when she saw the change in Charles's countenance. The man looked like he was holding something back.
"Why are you, Charles?" ask Flora to panic.
Charles lifted Flora's body to descend from her lap. Then he ran towards the bathroom followed by Flora.
Charles spewed something in the sink. Flora was getting more panicked, she massaged Charles' nape so gently. Again Charles pulled out a clear liquid.
"This can't be allowed, we have to go to the hospital, Charles, you can't go to the office!" flora said, rubbing her Husband's back.
After feeling better. Charles washed his face. He felt very weak at this moment, coupled with his dizzy head.
"I'm okay, honey. I have to go to the office because I have an important meeting with someone." Charles wrapped his hands around Flora's waist.
"I've decided if you can't work! You must rest Charles!"
Charles smiled and then kissed Flora on the forehead before coming out of the bathroom. Charles went to the walk in closet to get dressed. Flora immediately caught up with the stubborn man.
"You are so stubborn!" flora shouted in annoyance. Who is currently standing in the doorway.
Charles chuckles. Then turn his body to face Flora. "I'm fine, Flo. You take it easy" said Charles, buttoning his shirt.
"I'd hate you if you got sick from your job!“
"I promise you, I won't get sick!" Charles spread out his hands asking that Flora go into his arms.
Flora also stepped her feet with a face that was still upset. Then he hugged the body of the man he loved.
"Don't be angry anymore. Lately you've always been scolding me, I'm afraid your blood pressure is going up" Charles chuckled. Seductively.
Flora pinched Charles' waist which made the man grimace. Then chuckle tickled.

Charles just got to the top floor of this apartment. He'll meet someone. Charles comes alone to the apartment, unaccompanied by Ken.
"Hallo, Mr.lamo's good morning. You've been waiting inside." A beautiful woman greeted Charles at the doorstep. Do not want to linger Charles was immediately entered into the penthouse.
he looked at the penthouse ornaments that looked very luxurious and expensive. However, it could not be beat with what Charles had. Of course Charles can have this penthouse easily. Because his penthouse used to be more luxurious than this penthouse.
Right in the middle room, Charles saw the figure of a tall man standing facing a large window that showed skyscrapers outside there.
Charles cleared his throat first, to signal that he had come.
"It turns out you've come, Mr. Alamo?!" said the man who was still behind her.
Charles was silent, not answering the man's words.
Charles researched the man, he was really curious about his figure. He had to be careful if he would introduce the person to Flora later.
With a slow movement, the man turned his body elegantly, now they faced each other, and Charles finally found out who the figure behind the very famous name was. However, Charles did not look laget, he remained flat-faced.
"Charles Hallo. We meet again." The man smiled sweetly at him.
"Truely, if anything goes wrong with you. I can't believe that you've so easily accepted my offer to meet. Though I know, all this time you've always avoided if there's anyone who wants to try to meet you. We know each other, Anthonio Michell."
"Other people including Flora recognized me by the name of Morgan Maesero. No one else knows my American name, Anthonio Michell. Except you. This time." Morgan smiled at Charles.
Then the man took his foot toward the sofa and invited Charles to sit down. Charles obeyed Morgan's orders to sit opposite him.
"This is the drink, sir." A woman who had welcomed Charles came to bring him 2 cups of drinks and some snacks. Then the woman went out from before them both.
Charles smiled in anguish. "I don't need you at all. But it's the RoD employees who need you. I think of those who might lose their jobs if they can't get information about you. That's why I had to work with you. Although I honestly don't want to. I'd rather close ROD Magazine than I'll have to beg you!" charles was calm.
Morgan chuckled at Charles' words. "You stay the same, Charles. You are an arrogant man. And I like that."
"Just calm down, you don't have to beg me. I'm happy to help your company. I have a reason why I'm doing this."
Charles raised one eyebrow out of curiosity. Morgan, who could read Charles's face, began to explain why.
"First, because you're Flora's husband. I don't want to see Flora suffer just because your company went bankrupt when you just got married to her. By the way, congratulations on your marriage. If only Flora loved me, I would have let your company go bankrupt, then I would have taken Flora with me. But unfortunately, he doesn't love me."
Charles nodded his head, smiling with a grin. "Yes, he doesn't love you. But if you say I'm going broke just because of you, that's a big mistake. And it's never gonna happen. Because RoD Magazine is not very influential for the central company. Once again I say, if I think of my employees who work in RoD Magazine who should be threatened by their careers."
Morgan chuckled again at Charles' arrogant words. "alright. Alright. Whatever you say. But the point is, it's all because of Flora. Then my other reason is, I know about the intense competition between your company and Renatta's father's company. And I'm on your side, Charles. I have the same goal as you. Destroying the Renatta family company, because I knew Renatta had done something bad to Flora. I wanted more and more revenge on him, because he too I had to lose Flora at that time."
"Without your help, I could very easily destroy the Renatta family company. If I want to," Charles said.
Morgan nodded his head and smiled obliquely. He realized Charles was not his opponent.
"Then, will it be okay for you if your profile is revealed? Just so you know, you're an influence on RoD. But maybe after that, your life will be disrupted by the paparazzi that will keep following and watching you."
It would be a big shock for the American nation if Charles managed to uncover Anthonio's profile through RoD. And it will also make RoD can compete with D'Magazine, the Renatta Father's company that always makes its subsidiaries on the verge of bankruptcy.
"You take it easy, it'll be my business. Indeed, all this time I always kept my profile a secret just to keep my privacy life comfortable and safe. But now I decided to leave New York. I'm going back to Paris and I'm going to stay there. As you know, life in New York is very different from Paris. And I'm sure I'll calm down there. But before I leave, allow me to pass on a message to Flora. Messages only. I don't want to meet him. Because it would torture me to recall her. Would you allow it?"

"He's still reluctant to go to college as it turns out," muttered Flora.
"That's it, you don't think about that woman anymore Flo!" sahut Anin's.
Currently Flora and Anin were sitting on a park bench. Enjoy the fresh air there.
"I'm afraid Charles did something to Renatta. Recalling a few weeks ago Charles left the mansion with a mounting fury. And for a few weeks, Renatta didn't show up on campus."
"Leave it, it'll make Renatta a deterrent!" said Anin. While Flora shook her head looking at Anin's reaction which looked very upset to Renatta.
"Flora," call someone. Flora turned her head to look at the person who called her.
"Jonathan" said Flora, looking at the man standing before her.
"Congratulations on your wedding, Flo. May you be happy with your husband. Honestly, I was hurt to hear that. So it made me choose not to see you in advance for almost a month. Until I realized you weren't for me. And I'm trying to accept it."
Flora moved from her seat. He stood face to face with Jonathan. While Anin just silently looked at the two people.
"Thank you for everything, Jo. Forgive me for not being able to reciprocate your feelings, because if forced, it will make both of us hurt. I wish we could still be friends."
Jonathan smiled sweetly at Flora. Then he rubbed the top of the woman's head. "Yes I understand. Forget it, Ra. Of course we can be friends."
"All right, I'll go first. You're happy Flo!" continued.
"you too. Hope you get a better girl than me!"
Jonathan nodded to answer Flora's words before leaving in front of Flora and Anin.
"The first time, I saw Jonathan as weak as that, Flo," said Anin. di Flora just smiling and back sitting beside Anin.
Flora grabbed her bag and pulled something out of the bag.
"Hey, aren't you full? You just ate a lot. I was surprised to see you suddenly want breakfast. Once you have breakfast, you are like a possessed person. And now you are still not satisfied with eating that snack?!" anin's Oceh was responded to by Flora's rarity.
"Wait, wait, what are you eating?" tanya Anin grabbed Flora's snack.
"Say me if you want!" sahut Flora with a mouth filled with food.
"When do you like food that smells like matcha? Didn't you like anything that smells like matcha?" tanya Anin was astonished.
Flora just raises her shoulders and grabs her snack in Anin's hand. Anin just shook her head.

"Who are you?" asked a cold man who had just opened the door of his apartment.
"Damn it!" the man cursed when the woman entered his apartment just like that.
The man quickly grabbed the shameless woman's arm. Until the woman grimaces.
"Who are you, huh?!" snarl.
"Let go of your grip first! It's so painful!"
The man also loosened his grip. But not intending to release it. It made the woman before him snort angrily.
"OKAY. Introduce, I'm Renatta. Nice to meet you Rogan," Renatta grinned. Rogan frowned.
