The next day when Gina opened her eyes, Yudha had been sitting ina chair by the bedroom window with a magazine in his hand
"When did newspapers turn into magazines? Seems like you've been reading the paper before?" Gina said, straightening her hair and then getting out of bed and walking toward Yudha
"Is there anything interesting in today's magazine?" She asked again who now stood behind Yudha with hee hands placed on Yudha's shoulders
"Look at this!"
Gina lowered her head to her chin now on her shoulders and looked at the magazine Yudha's hand. She was pretty surprised by what he saw
"How can there be this news?"
Gina's forehead was wrinkled with Yudha's eyes and Gina looked at each other
"You underestimate your husband, madam. You just relax, it's still okay. We're just starting the basics!"
Yudha explains with a faint smile that cannot be deciphered
"Turns out your good looks are just a cover for your evil character, Mr." Gina said in a very calm derisive tone.
Yudha only responds to his wife's words with a smile

While at atmaja's company, Arin was on fire because news in the magazine about Siska was trying to insult Yudha by refusing him to sing even though it cost 2 billion eventually to go viral. Not only in print magazines but also in online magazines. Everyone ridiculed Siska for being so arrogant in rejecting a considerable amount of money
"I felt familiar with his name before, and it turns out that he is the same Yudha as the foreign businessman Yudha that shoots several branches at a young age.
"Did he not Yudha Arya Kusuma who had managed to develop a foreign company before he was in his 30s? How dare Siska offend him? Even though Yudha is known as a coldblooded businessman.
"Probably because she didn't know him personally. He's never shown his face in public. I think this is the first time he's agreed to be in the news."
"Whatever Yudha's reason, now this Siska has had a sign from Yudha, one time misstepped then the consequences could be bad"
Arin was terrified when she read the news online. Arin also recently returned from abroad, of course he always heard the name Yudha. It's just that she has never met him in person. At first she and Siska were thrilled to be invited to the party in order to have the opportunity to approach Yudha and gain his support. Who would have thought she would instead make trouble with Yudha
"How are you ended up offended by mark? I asked you to approach her instead of making trouble!" Arin snapped at Siska after reading the news about what happened
"I didn't mention him at all. I was arguing with Gina. I don't know how he can defend her. But, grandma, don't you suspect anything? I just met him for the first time and then again, I didn't mention it. But did he give me money because I gave Gina the same money the other day?"
Arin looked brooding as if she'd thought of something
"It may be true what you say. But how will he get close to Gina? Is it just because they're in the same company?"
"I don't know, grandma, I just know that Gina's applying for a development resort project, maybe that's why they're close?"
"It's possible. We should be more careful now!"
"Yes grandma I understand"
"Never mind this, in a few days you will have an engagement, you should think only of that. And as for Gina you just relax, grandma will teach him a lesson later"
She was fine and she returned calmly. Her words made siska smile wide
"Thanks, grandma."

Gina and her assistant Risti went to a restaurant to meet with a representative from another company there. The restaurant also provides a karaoke room. Gina had to meet siska and her friends there
"Sister? What are you doing here, sis?" Siska says hello first to Gina sitting with a client
"We're in the middle of a meeting here" Gina answered shortly and tried not to get involved with siska again
"Gina, is that you?"
There was a girl's voice greeting Gina, and she turned to where it was coming from. Her eyes were gloomy and sharp when she saw her. She was Gwen's friend siska who worked with her to spread rumors that Gina was insane and had been hospitalized. It kept Gina despised and ostracized by her peers at the time. Gwen hated Gina because at the time her boyfriend liked her
"It's been a long time. How are you? Of course you're stable now, right? Of course you would not be treated again, would you?" she said with a sneered smile and a derisive tone of voice.
Risti watched Gina's hands tremble and clench. Gina was silent for a moment trying to get a hold of herself and then she smiled slightly in response to Gwen's words
"Of course I'm fine now, thanks for caring about me. But right now I'm worried that you have the wrong friend and are just a means to get through her plan. "Gina said in a very calm tone and a very cynical smile on her lips. It left menka mendelik irritated at Gina
"Sister, what do you mean by that? Gwen has been so concerned about you all this time, why are you being like this to her? "Siska is angry and doesn't like Gina's words to keep her from Gwen's support
"Oh attention? Attention until she has to spread bad rumors about me? It was so attentive that I kept getting ostracized and bulled for her actions. But it's okay, because of that attention I can better tell which are good friends and which friends are taking advantage of me. Because of the attention you say, making Alan whom you once loved to behave me so much sympathy and approaching me more than you imagine."
Gwen was speechless at the thought of Gina's response. True she said, she used to try to put Gina down to get Alan to keep her away, but that actually made Alan even closer to Gina out of pity
"I'm sorry, my dear stepsister, but I think you've had enough to interrupt our meeting. We still have much to discuss. So can you let us continue our work?" Gina personally asked siska to leave her presence
"Okay sis. Sorry to interrupt your meeting."
Siska and her friends left Gina for the meeting. Gwen, surprised by Gina's bravery at this moment, ended up asking siska herself
"Where did Gina get the courage to fight? Wasn't Gina just a scared little stupid girl who would stop crying by herself when she got bullied?
"I don't know, maybe she's possessed."
