Chapter 577 - People Around You

When she heard this, Anya looked at Nadine suspiciously. Was it true that the man Nadine liked was Raka?

"Did you guys hear just now? Nadine called Anya as her aunt. That means the Atmajaya family has accepted Anya."

"Nadine likes Raka Mahendra?"

"This is new. Nadine likes Raka, but Raka likes Anya. Then Anya likes Aiden and Aiden likes Keara."

"Wrong! Keara likes Aiden, but he likes Anya."

"Right! Aiden and Anya love each other. They seem inseparable and great together. There's no way they have someone else in their hearts!"

Nadine was furious that everyone around her was making a fuss. "Raisa, shut up!"

Raisa knew she had done something wrong, but she didn't want to admit it and said in a low voice, "I didn't say anything wrong."

"Raisa, what are you doing here?" Raka finally arrived.

"Brother, why did you come here?" Raisa's face turned pale when she saw her brother's arrival. Then she glared at Anya and guessed that she must've been the one who called Raka here.

"What are you doing here?" Raka asked once again, his face looking creepy.

"I… I came to see Nadine. I heard she works here. It's been several years since I last saw her," Raisa immediately stepped forward and took Nadine's hand.

Nadine did not expose Raisa's lies, but she still tried to smooth her out. "I'm still working. We can meet  again next time I'm free. Brother Raka, you better take Raisa home. Otherwise, she will disturb our shop."

Raka looked at Anya with an apologetic look. "Sorry Raisa bothered you. I'll take her home."

"I don't want to go home. I still want to be here!" Raisa didn't want to leave, but Raka ignored her screams and dragged her away from there.

Nadine immediately looked at Anya with worry.

"It's okay, you come back on time," Anya just laughed.

"Raisa has no bad intentions. She's just stupid. Don't be afraid of her," Nadine said, trying to calm Anya down.

"I'm busy and don't have time to worry about whatever she said. You all, go back to work. I will go upstairs again," Anya turned and left.

Nadine thought about what Raisa said just now and felt that she must explain it.

"Auntie, I have something to talk with you," Nadine said before Anya could go upstairs.

As soon as she entered the office on the second floor, Anya immediately poured a cup of tea for Nadine. "Sit down."

The girl smiled and sat on the sofa.

"Do you want to talk to me about Raka?" Earlier, Raisa said that Nadine liked Raka in front of everyone. Now, Nadine suddenly wanted to talk to her. How could Anya not know what the girl wanted to talk about?

Nadine nodded. "Indeed, I used to like Raka in the past. But after finding out that he liked someone else, I gave up."

"Do you still like him now?" Anya asked.

Nadine shook her head. She realized that she could never win Raka's heart over because the man didn't like her back. Nadine already knew that since five years ago.

"I want to marry a man who loves me. Raka is a nice guy, but he doesn't love me. There's no point in liking him anyway," Nadine said casually.

"Try not to look too far ahead next time. Respect those who are near you," Anya said with a smile.

She knew about Harris's feelings and saw how much the man wanted to protect Nadine. And Anya had a feeling that Harris' feelings were not one-sided.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I don't understand," Nadine blushed. She pretended not to understand what Anya was saying.

"You sure you don't understand?" Anya laughed and deliberately asked to lure her to talk, "By the way, Shania has asked for Harris' phone number before. Can I give her his number?"

"Why is Shania asking for Harris's phone number?" Nadine immediately looked panicked.

"Harris is handsome. He is also kind, responsible and reliable. Most women like men like him. Today, Shania has helped me and maybe... I should give Harris's phone number as a token of gratitude," said Anya.

"No, no. Shania is too cheerful. Harris doesn't like nagging women like her," Nadine replied quickly.

"No wonder you've been quiet lately," Anya laughed as she said this.

"I don't want to tell you anything!" Nadine immediately fled the office in embarrassment.

Even though she was several years older than Anya, she was still very innocent. She looked very embarrassed when Anya teased her.

…

In the afternoon, Anya went with Esther to see the spices.

Nadine could go home early because Anya was not in the office. Meanwhile, Aiden was also not in Indonesia, so Harris didn't need to work overtime.

He took the initiative to invite Nadine to dinner and watch a movie. Of course the girl agreed immediately!

Who would've known that just as they finished dinner, Harris got a call from Bima asking him to return to the Atmajaya Family house.

"Nadine, your grandfather asked me to return to the Atmajaya Family house. Do you want to come with me?" Harris asked.

Nadine immediately shook her head. "I don't dare to. I was the one who caused my uncle and aunt to divorce. Go, I'll go home by myself later after watching the movie."

"After the movie finished, call me. I'll pick you up and go home with you," said Harris.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for you," Nadine saw Harris leaving the cinema.

The movie hadn't started yet, but there were already a lot of people waiting there.

Nadine took a photo of the poster of the film and sent it to Anya.

Nadine: "Auntie, I watched this film alone."

When she saw the ticket and the movie poster, Anya was immediately shocked.

Anya: "It's a romantic film. You should watch it together with Harris."

Nadine's face looked bitter when she read Anya's message.

Nadine: "I should have watched it together with Harris, but Grandpa called him."

After sending the message, a message from Jonathan came. Nadine and him got acquainted when Jonathan picked up Alisa at Anya's house so that she was not too surprised when the man suddenly texted her.

Jonathan: "Nadine, I have a job that I can't leave. I left Alisa, she fell asleep in the hotel room. Can you please look for her while I'm away? Ask for the room key from the receptionist. If Alisa wakes up, take her to dinner at the hotel's restaurant. I'll pick her up later when I'm done with my work. I can't ask anyone for help. Sorry to bother you and thank you."

Nadine didn't want to watch romantic movies alone. She also hadn't seen Alisa for several days so she missed that cheerful little girl.

Finally, she decided to keep the movie ticket in her bag and left.

Thanks to the message that Jonathan sent her, Nadine was able to quickly find the hotel where Alisa was and immediately asked the receptionist for the key. The receptionist immediately gave the room key to her and she went straight to the room.

When she entered the elevator, Nadine sent a message to Anya.

Nadine: "Auntie, I went to visit Alisa. I'll send some pictures to you later."

At that time, Raisa was having dinner at the restaurant on the first floor. She walked out of the restaurant about to find a quiet place to call.

Unintentionally, she saw a familiar figure enter the lobby from a distance.

Since the figure was familiar to her, she decided to follow her and found out that it was Nadine who entered the elevator!
