Chapter 2 Remember You

"Take me to her, now!" Juyan immediately complied with his boss's command. He called King's private driver to get ready. They were on their way to a luxurious cemetery in the Karawang area.

King stepped out of the car carrying a bouquet of roses prepared by the driver earlier. He walked, followed by Juyan, towards the grave of a girl named Gladis.

Gladis is the only woman who could make King fall in love deeply. He fell head over heels for Gladis, but fate had other plans. A disease eating away at Gladis's body forced him to let her go forever.

He had tried various ways to save Gladis, but she chose to surrender and let go peacefully. It was his biggest regret when he agreed to Gladis's request, as he still remembered and missed her until this moment. It is precisely two years today since Gladis passed away, but he still couldn't forget his lover.

The car drove back to Jakarta. He went straight to his apartment. Coincidentally, his bodyguard also lived in the same apartment building as him. He had purchased an adjacent apartment for his bodyguard, so Juyan took care of King's needs twenty-four hours a day.

King reached his apartment.

"I want to take a long shower, then I'll eat," he said, heading to his room. Juyan immediately ordered food for him through an online food delivery service. After that, he went inside the apartment. He took the opportunity to clean himself while his boss was still bathing, a process that King said would take a long time.

Juyan didn't feel uncomfortable at all taking care of his boss; in fact, he enjoyed doing it. He contacted Wina, King's secretary, to determine if urgent matters required King's signature. Wina informed him that the office situation was under control, but there were many interior design submissions in her email. Hearing this, he hurried to finish his shower, eager to see the designs people had sent him.

After finishing his shower, he immediately headed to King's apartment. On his way there, he met the online food delivery service and brought the order, arranging it on the table. Juan didn't feel uneasy at all; he gladly took care of his boss.

King had been in the bathroom for almost an hour. While waiting for his boss to finish his shower, Juyan opened his iPad and checked his emails, moving them into one folder. Many interior designs had come in, but none appealed to him, let alone King. He decided to widen the advertisement to reach more people.

Half an hour later, King finished his shower, wearing only a kimono. He headed to the dining table, and while eating, Juyan displayed several interior design samples. Unexpectedly, he was interested in one of the designs sent by someone named Hera Sagita.

He was surprised by King's choice, finding it tacky. However, unlike King, he liked the design because it had a touch of peach colour-Gladis's favourite colour.

"Contact the designer. I want her to design the entire room for me, and while she's working, I'll relocate to the emergency room," King said. Upon his boss's command, Juyan promptly sent an email confirming the deal to the account owner, Hera Sagita. He also contacted Wina to instruct several office assistants to clean the emergency room for the CEO at Quality Corporation.

Meanwhile, in a modest house, a girl named Hera Sagita, commonly called Hera, was pleasantly surprised when she opened her laptop and found an email reply from Quality Corporation, stating that her interior design had passed the review, and she was expected at Quality Corporation's secretariat office the following day.

Her heart was filled with joy. She had recently graduated from university and had been sending out numerous job applications. She never expected that her casual attempt at designing an office space could lead her to Quality Corporation, one of the giant companies in Jakarta. Hera ran out, carrying her laptop, and headed to her father's room.

Hera's father, suffering from a stroke for the past two years, was able to afford her education thanks to a scholarship from her university. She was one of the brightest students at her university and graduated with honours. This allowed her to graduate earlier than her classmates.

Currently, she lives with her father and stepbrother, Ewan. Hera's biological mother had long passed away, while Ewan's biological mother left their father when she found out that Mr. Tobi had suffered a stroke and couldn't earn money anymore.

To support their lives, Hera sold clothes online while attending university. Together with Ewan, they went shopping at Tanah Abang market every weekend to select clothes to sell online. Ewan acted as a courier for the items and as an online motorcycle taxi driver.

Ewan was currently in his final semester of university. He wasn't Mr. Tobi's biological son, but he chose to live with Mr. Tobi when his mother filed for a divorce from her stepfather. However, his mother had remarried and started a new family.

Hera arrived in her father's room, and she saw her younger brother Ewan feeding their father.

"Dad, look at this," Hera showed her laptop screen to him. Mr. Tobi carefully examined the screen, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw the email from the giant company.

Instantly, he felt happy and proud of Hera, tears streaming down his face as he hugged his beloved daughter. "Congratulations, my dear. I hope this is the beginning of your success," Ewan said enthusiastically, smiling at Hera.

Mr. Tobi used to be a successful entrepreneur, but due to business competition, he was deceived by his business partner. Gradually, their lives changed. When his father remarried, his new wife loved to spend money despite the family's economic hardship. Eventually, Mr. Tobi's debts piled up, and he couldn't pay them off. Consequently, all his wealth was seized by the bank. Additionally, his new wife was caught having an affair with his business partner, which devastated Mr Tobi and led to his stroke.

Her father kept crying.

"Dad, please don't cry like that. I promise I'll always make you happy as long as you have the will to get better. When I start earning, I'll resume your treatment at the hospital," Hera said to her father, and Mr. Tobi nodded in response.

Hera left her father's room with Ewan. "Wan, I want to talk to you," she said. Ewan followed her steps.

.

"Wan, this is your tuition fee. Fortunately, I received a bonus from our customer, so use this to pay for your studies," she said.

"But, sis, this is your money. You also need to think about yourself," Ewan replied.

"We are family, Wan. Families should help each other. Enough, I want to sleep now; it's late. You go to your room too; Dad must be waiting for you," she said.

They parted ways and went into their respective rooms. In the room, Mr. Tobi was already
