The child sits quietly on a large sofa located along the wall of a circular glass gazebo in the middle of the garden behind a very outdoor house. A warm, fragrant teabag appears to be steaming hot from a beautifully glossy pink porcelain flower-patterned pot, covered cups placed there on the same tray, as if waiting to be poured with that delicious golden-colored hot liquid. On the same table, several dishes full of handmade cake seemed tempting to anyone who saw it.

The cake seemed to be made by the private chef of the house and was intended for Nolan, given the abundance of colorful sugar, a layer of chocolate and candy on it that certainly looks attractive in the eyes of children.

Elana watches over Nolan who appears to be sitting nervously waiting beside Elios as their steps get closer.Although Akram says that he took Nolan from the orphanage with bad intentions, but the man still treated Nolan very well. The child was dressed neatly and expensively, his body looked healthy, clean and well-groomed. Even his haircut was very neat, like the children of rich nobles wrapped in all the luxuries in his body.

Elios immediately stood up as soon as he saw Akram approaching with Elana, his movement was immediately followed by Nolan who also went to stand beside Elios, following his movements.Akram stopped his steps right in front of Elios and Nolan, who also stood next to Elios, and Elios immediately moved quickly to introduce the man to Nolan.

“Nolan, This is Mr. Akram Night. It was he who had taken you from the orphanage and made you his adopted son,” Elios explained slowly, not forgetting to stick a respectful polite attitude in his tone.

Nolan had to raise his head because Akram Night towered so high above him. He was so nervous, especially when his eyes were rubbed with clear eyes that sharp like eagle eyes.  However, the education he obtained in the orphanage, had succeeded in instilling manners and discipline in his soul. That's why, no matter how scared he is, he can still reach out and speak in a polite, subtle tone.

“Te... thank you for being my foster father. I... I will learn well and not disappoint you,” he said in an open voice, trying to show real sincerity in his voice.

Akram nodded his head, a little awkward. Indeed, Akram is not very good at dealing with small children, even you could say he did not interact with small children at all even during his age to date. If there were circumstances that required him to interact with a small child, he would instantly dodge and have Elios face him. Incidentally, Elios was very inversely proportional to himself. Elios grew up in an orphanage where he lived with his young foster siblings, which is why he has the natural skills to babysit children.

“How are you rated in school?” after thinking about the subject, Akram finally found an interesting discussion.

“Nolan got one more rank in the middle of this semester,” this time it was Elios who replied, without being able to hide the tone of pride in his voice. Yes, every weekend he often spends his time in this house and helps Nolan learn, his efforts are not in vain because Nolan is indeed quite clever, he said, so it managed to achieve almost perfect grades in all subjects.

“That you were so great,” Elana could not help but make a sound, for some reason as soon as she saw Nolan's face up close, affection immediately appeared in her heart. This child was very handsome, and it turned out that he was also clever, himself as a big brother, of course filled with pride.

Nolan who had been keeping his eyes, looked up as soon as Elana made a sound. His eyes were filled with curiosity as he finally ventured to ask like an innocent child.

“You…. Wife of Mr Akram?” he asked directly, guessing wrong but dead wrong.

Akram was at a loss for words, and so was Elana. Only Elios swiftly took over the situation after clearing his throat hiding his nervousness.

“Nona Elana this.. she is the future wife of Mr. Akram,” said Elios quickly, explaining to Nolan who nodded his head digesting the sentence Elios.

“Oh... Then you will be my adoptive mother...,” Nolan said in a smart tone.

Elana could not help but chuckle at Nolan's perfectly innocent words. He slightly bowed, wanting to get closer to the child and spoke in a cheerful tone.

“I may be too young to be your mother. But you can call me sister,” said Elana friendly, “Call me sister Elana,”

Akram glanced at Elana and instantly kept the cheerful expression that appeared on the woman's face. Elana's smile was wide, and her eyes twinkled, making the woman look so beautiful in her eyes. If taking Elana to see Nolan makes her this happy, Akram will not mind suppressing her possessiveness and leaving a little time at the end of the week so that Elana can spend time with Nolan.

“Elios, I have something to talk about about work. Can you come with me for a minute?” wisely, Akram deliberately gave Elana space to converse with Nolan personally and get to know her brother more closely. His eyes beckoned towards Elios, telling the man to nod in agreement so they could leave the brothers alone.

Of course, as a good assistant, Elios immediately understood the gesture given by Akram, he immediately nodded his head and stepped following Akram leaving the gazebo.

Heavy rain still seems to want to plunge himself into the earth and shower him with splashes of wet water mixed with the cold that he carries. It has been several hours since Akram left Elana with Nolan alone, and it seems that she is enjoying her time with her sister.

The two sisters were instantly familiar, Elana seemed to pour tea for Nolan and ate cookies together, they seemed to chat and laugh together, even the sound of their laughter until it was heard through the rain to touch Akram's workroom which is currently opened the window, so that Akram can see clearly in the direction of the gazebo.

Akram glanced at Elios who was studying the initial data provided by Xavier regarding the leak of company financial funds. He then turned his gaze away from the brother-sister's familiarity, and focused his attention on Elios again.

“What do you think?” he asked slowly, putting both hands in his pocket and leaning his body with his legs crossed in the window frame.

“After looking at this data, I just realized that anyone who moves to manipulate the financial system so that this leak is untraceable, has a very sophisticated method. Had it not been Xavier who presented this data with this terrible intelligence, we would have never known that our money had been stolen in such a huge amount over the years.”

Akram nodded his head.

“I actually did not expect that the entry of Xavier into our company will bring good things. But apparently, this time, he really intended to help,” Akram narrowed his eyes furiously. “Credence will help Xavier to display legal evidence that can be brought to justice, not just hard-to-digest data findings. And my finance director, of course, will be acted upon in the proper manner. But, before that happens, I need you to move on and investigate. Because it is not possible to do this only by one person. There is a support behind my Financial Director, and I'm sure, he must be the one who has the power, considering he dares to go against me.”

“I will do it, Mr.” Elios nodded his head quickly.

Akram glanced at his watch. “It was late afternoon by evening. Isn't it time for Nolan to take a break? I'll take Elana home too. Thank you for coming and helping,” said Akram calmly as he stepped out of his study, about to approach Elana.

“Elana,”

Akram glanced at Elana who was asleep in her chair. The trip home did take longer than the trip they left for the house where Nolan lived in the suburbs. That's all because it's nearing the weekend, and at the weekend, people seem to start scattering out of the house in search of entertainment to relieve fatigue after five days of hard work. That's what makes the streets become jammed and crowded by vehicles so that makes their journey home almost twice as long as before.Their car is parked in the parking lot of a luxury restaurant that has been reserved by Akram before. He did intend to bring Elana to dinner here before going home, because there was a delicious steak menu that he knew would definitely be liked by the woman.

After all, Akram felt his health had improved. The fever does not come anymore nor does the dizziness. And after yesterday feeling nauseous so that he could not eat properly, this time he felt hungry.

Elana herself seemed to be asleep in the chair next to Akram. The woman was clearly exhausted and immediately sound as their car was stuck in traffic for almost three hours. But anyway, Elana had to eat. That's why Akram moved his hand slowly to gently shake the woman's shoulder and tried to wake her.

“Elana, wake up,” said Akram softly, trying to penetrate the dream realm of Elana with his voice.

And he succeeded, Elana's eyes seemed to blink, and the woman opened her eyes. At first his gaze seemed foggy, as if he still had not gained his full consciousness. But then, his eyes met with the eyes of Akram and Elana instantly realized the situation.

“Akram?” Elana called Akram's name involuntarily, then her cheeks immediately flushed with embarrassment. “I... I overslept,” when on the way Akram turned on soothing music, Elana was involuntarily pushed to close her eyes and suddenly drowned in a dream. How long has he been asleep? Did Akram freely see his expression while sleeping earlier? Is his mouth open? Did he snore? Did his saliva melt out?

For the sake of thinking that, Elana's hand immediately moved to her lips and she was instantly grateful when she found that none of her saliva had sprinkled from her lips.

Akram himself watched Elana's expression and could barely hold back his laughter as he could clearly guess what was raging inside the tiny head of the woman behind her red-hued cheeks.

His desire to tease Elana was instantly created, making him raise one eyebrow at the woman.

“I was taking pictures,” whispered with a sensual tone mixed with laughter.

Elana's eyes immediately widened.

“What picture?” tanyanya surprised.

“Image of you sleeping with your mouth open,” says Akram fast.

Instantly Elana gasped, her hands moving shut her mouth, while a red hue increasingly filled her hot face.

“God...god…. You took my picture?” Elana repeated as if unsure, her expression looking shocked mixed with embarrassment.

Elana's shock made Akram feel unbearable, gently the man grabbed Elana's head, then rubbed her dearly.

“I'm just teasing you, why are you that shy? The red hue even spread to your shoulders,” Akram smiled widely. “There is nothing wrong with your sleeping style on the chair, your mouth is indeed slightly open and there is a fine snoring from there, but you are still beautiful in my eyes,” the god chuckles.

“Akram!” Elana could not help but exclaim, feeling annoyed and still overwhelmed with shame.

Akram's laughter was still heard when he spoke later.

“Why should I be ashamed? Anyway in the future, most likely you will spend all your sleep time with snoring in my arms,” continued with a thick sensual tone. The man had removed his seatbelt and approached Elana, then pulled the woman's body so that their heads were close together. “Although later.. I can guarantee that we will not only sleep on the bed,” he said seduce before then his hand moved to grab Elana's chin and bring the woman's lips closer to pulverized.

Elana's lips always felt so sweet and delicious in her lips. That taste is what makes Akram feel addicted to taste pleasure from their kiss without stopping. One kiss turned into a wishful massage that was very difficult to stop.

Meanwhile, Akram was almost carried away by lust and was about to push Elana's body to the window before moving to crush him, if only Elana's stomach did not sound suddenly, indicating that the woman was starving.

Akram froze, stopping the movement of his lips that were pulverizing Elana's lips and then couldn't stop himself from laughing. His body shook with laughter, so Elana who was still in his embrace shook with him.

“You seem very happy to laugh at me,” Elana said in a half sulking tone, looking at Akram with a denouncing look.

Akram burst out, unable to stop himself from laughing so loosely, I don't know how long it had been since the last time he could laugh like this. Elana is truly a magical woman, who managed to make her feel a thousand kinds of complex feelings that she did not know before that she was able to feel.

“Your stomach is very good at choosing a time to express its protest,” said Akram in between the rest of his laughter, smiling broadly at the sulking Elana in his embrace. “Lucky I was the one who understood the priority scale. For now, I will meet your stomach needs first. So, we will have a delicious meal tonight, you will love it,” said Akram excitedly.

Akram's words made Elana turn her gaze to the front of the window glass, and her gaze immediately looked towards the front of the luxurious restaurant that lay beautifully before them.

Elana immediately raised her head, staring at Akram nervously.

“Ki... will we eat there?” Elana said unsure. “But... but it's a fancy restaurant... and my clothes...”.

Elana looked down at the dress she was wearing. Since the dress was bought by Akram, it was definitely an expensive dress designed by a famous designer. Even so, the dress had been worn by Elans since noon before she met Nolan earlier so it was a bit scruffy here and there, not to mention he wore it sitting in this car for almost three hours asleep on the way home earlier.

Elana knows that such famous and luxurious restaurants are always full of women who dress up fancy to charm their dining friends and inevitably the eyes of Elana directly trace the appearance of Akram which of course departs back with himself. The man had a perfection of appearance that would certainly envy those who were unlucky. There is a strong aura in Akram that makes him look elegant and amazingly handsome, even when he only wears shirts and pants that are not intended for formal events.

With her dress like this and her appearance not dressing up at all, was she worthy to enter the restaurant along with Akram? Or maybe, he will even embarrass Akram?
