Yuki was silent at her desk, thinking back to her mother's words the other day. She was tired of all this arranged marriage why her mother did not understand at all. Yuki just wants to get a lot of experience as well as a lot of friends. At least it will make her life easier in the future. Getting married at a young age was never in Yuki's life dictionary.
Twenty-five years was still young in her opinion but why did her mother call her a spinster? Yuki is still comfortable with being alone, or rather still trapped in the circle of the past.
It's not that it's not selling well, Yuki just still needs time to forget everything. Five years is not a short time but also not enough time for her to forget all the past memories that are still faithfully engraved in his heart.
"Why are you daydreaming?" someone tapped Yuki's head making the girl jump.
"Ah Mister, nothing hehe,"
"It's time to go back. Is it okay?"
"Is not it?"
"I'll give you a salary, not just for daydreaming, Ki," said the man.
Yuki gave a wide grin then quickly packed up her things, "Logan, why don't you come over here?"
"Following mom and dad to Paris. Just got home the day after tomorrow,"
"Oh I see,"
"Is there an event after this? Saturday night, do you want to go?"
"Oh, how about that. I was told to meet a guy like that,"
"Who ordered?" Lucas' eyes narrowed.
"Mother,"
The man took a deep breath, "Your candidate?"
"Nope. Yes, if I want to be married to him, then his name is my candidate,"
"No," the man narrowed his eyes, "You're marrying me. Let me accompany you to meet that guy,"
"You don't have to be careless, ah,"
"I'm serious. Let me take you. Which car keys?"
Yuki pouted, but still gave the car keys to the man, "Don't be like that,"
"Would people want to take you along. Who knows, guys want all kinds of things with you,"
"No, he's my brother-in-law's cousin,"
"Yes, who knows, this is anticipation," Lucas answered flatly, the man immediately took Yuki's hand and pulled him gently before walking down the long hallway on the fifteenth floor, "Where's the appointment?"
"Kala's restaurant is near the office. Anticipate what he's going to do with me, many employees there already know me,"
"Smart bastard,"
"I'm smart every day, sir. You're just stupid,"
"Instead of calling dad, why don't you just call me daddy? I'll call you mama. Plus Logan already looks like a happy family,"
"You don't want that,"
"Yes, I want to be like that," Lucas said casually with a small smile, "Do you want it or not?"
"You don't have to be weird, Lucas,"
"I'm not weird, I'm just offering it,"
"Bastard bastard,"
"But seriously, I want to."
"Want what?"
"Make you to be my children's mom,"
"Huh," Yuki immediately turned her blushing face away. Damn Lucas and his mouth really isn't healthy for the girl's heart.
Lucas laughed crisply, patting Yuki on the head a few times before entering the special elevator for superiors.

Yuki entered Kala's restaurant, ah that woman does have many restaurants in the city where Yuki lives and even in other cities. Branching.
Next to Yuki, Lucas seemed to be holding the girl's fingers possessively. His face was flat and his eyes squinted since a while ago.
"Your face is really fierce," Yuki pouted.
"Really? It's not normal,"
The girl snorted, looking around, "Which table number five?"
"That's it," Lucas pointed at a table with a man there, without thinking he walked closer, still gripping Yuki's fingers tightly.
"Ekhem excuse me, Galang huh?" Yuki asked awkwardly.
The man looked up, nodded briefly while smiling broadly, "Miss Yuki huh?"
"Oh yeah hehe," the girl sat herself down next to Lucas, "How long has it been?"
"Not really. Ten minutes. So he..?"
"Oh he-"
"I'm Yuki's boyfriend," Lucas interrupted quickly, his face still flat, "And you better keep your distance from her,"
"Hey what the hell," snorted the only woman among them, "He's my boss at the office,"
"Oh, I'm Galang, Yuki's cousin-in-law,"
"Lucas Anggara Hadiwijaya is Yuki's boss, Yuki's ex-boyfriend and soon to be Yuki's husband,"
Yuki snorted lazily, "As happy as you are, Cas,"
"So... we want to talk about marriage, right?" asked Galang.
"Huh? Reckless," the girl glared in horror, "I don't want to get married anytime soon,"
"Well I can wait for you until you're ready to marry me,"
Yuki snorted, looked at Galang flatly, if she saw the man in front of her was not 'very embarrassed' even though it was far from the type of Yuki who likes handsome and charismatic men, "I don't want to marry you,"
"I'm handsome and rich. What else is missing?"
"Not mad," Lucas said sarcastically.
Yuki took a deep breath, "Not all girls like handsome guys as well as rich. Including me, well, even though I like handsome boys and riches, that's not all. What will happen when you're married, if the boys only look at them with money, "
"I will try to be the husband you want"
"Yuki just wants to have a handsome CEO husband with one child but he is still single and already knows him very well, not a new person,"
"Lucas shut up," Yuki snorted, lightly patting the man's forehead, "You want to be rich no matter what if I don't love you it's useless,"
"Yes, I will make you love me"
Yuki pondered, immediately muttered to herself, "If I could love someone that easily, I wouldn't be single until now. My heart has stuck with the damn lion, really,"
Lucas rolled his eyes lazily, "There is a child who calls me Daddy and calls Yuki mama, I hope you understand,"
Galang glared, looked at Yuki in disbelief, "Ki really what did he say?"
Yuki glared too, giving Lucas a hard smack on the shoulder in annoyance, "Y—yes but I can explain,"
"I don't need to understand why you don't need to explain anything. Sorry, I feel like I'm forcing you, then I'll say goodbye first,"
"Hey Galang..."
"Hopefully happy with him huh," said the man before walking away.
"Oh yes, I know that he clearly hasn't paid. Just admitting it's like eating is still in debt," Lucas sneered, "In the end, I'm here,"
"You have a really slippery mouth like oil," Yuki grumbled softly, "What if he tells my mother what it is?"
"Yes, just tell the truth. After all, he didn't ask first which child I meant, so I didn't explain in detail,"
"So stupid. Now pay there after it's better to go home. I've been dizzy for a long time,"
