The tears gradually well in her eyes. It really saddens her, to learn the friend she had been living with for the past few years, is now seriously despising her that far.  She is so sad, because she still naively sees Mia as a friend. She believes the issue between her and Mia is just a matter of misunderstanding.  She tries her best to hold her cries. She immediately takes her face away to the right to look at the pedestrians. But Victor and Mike already notice it.  “Who is it?” asks Victor.  “It’s from the girls at the pizza shop. They think that we are dating, and now they make fun of us. How silly is that,” replies Judy while acting like she is holding a chuckle.  Mike replies her chuckle with another chuckle too. “Yeah, it does look so silly? I mean, you two are as naive as teenagers regardless of your age. But I t

Judeo helps Chappy to put the gloves on his hands. He glances a little at Chappy, and finds a sense of indecisiveness on Chappy’s face. “What? Feeling not ready?” asks Judeo. “Nothing!” replies Chappy. “Don’t tell me you are chickened out now,” says Judeo as he taps both of Chappy’s hands, just to make sure that the gloves are fixed. Chappy gets into the ring with so many thoughts in his head. It’s not like he is doubting his decision to challenge Victor. He just finds Victor so much different at the moment. Victor doesn’t even take a look at him. He keeps shadow-boxing at one corner of the ring, to not let his body cool down. Judeo also gets into the ring, but only to tell them the rule. “Hey, I don’t know all the rules in boxing. Just don’t hit too low on the hip, not on the back of the head, and never use your elbow. Be sportive yourselves, ‘cause I can’t stay in the ring to be the referee.” “Are you leaving?” asks Chappy with a bit of an awry face. “Stupid! I need to hit th

The only thing that comes to Mike’s mind is that a part of Victor’s ribs may have been broken by Chappy. He just didn’t expect a junkie like Chappy could inflict that much damage to Victor.  “This is what happens when you are too naive and feed a dog without knowing anything about keeping a pet.”  “He is not a dog,” Victor refutes.  “But he did bite you,” replies Mike plainly.  “Well, it proves that he is no longer a junkie.”  “So? Does that mean you gain more interest in petting him?”  “Dude, please! Stop looking down on fellow human beings. He is not a dog.” At the moment, Victor is being examined by the same doctor who treated his broken knuckles a few weeks ago. He is Dr. Chris Lamar, a black man with a smooth bald h

So far, there have been four companies who cancel their next demands for goods supplies to Counterbrand. But sadly, those four are quite a huge loss. The rest only use that situation to gain some advantages from Counterbrand, thinking that they have an upper hand in negotiating the term. They haven’t canceled their demands yet. But Viona and Mrs. Emilia can only put them on hold for the time being. Viona leaves her office to find Victor. Sadly, when she enters Victor’s office, she only finds Judy there. “Oh, Judy! You are here. Where is Victor?” “Victor, he is not here yet. He said he is going to be late. Is there something that I can help with?” asks Judy awkwardly. “Really, this is not something I can ask you for help,” replies Viona curtly. It only makes Judy even more insecure with her status and situation. All she can do is just smile awkwardly. And weirdly, Viona is still standing there, as if she is waiting for Judy to do something. “Come on! Aren’t you going to call hi

Hearing there are two cops looking for Victor, only makes Viona even more infuriated by him.“See! Now they are sending the police here to get you. That old man Albert must have reported you for the scam you had done!”“Viona, please!” says Victor with a tired gesture.“Um, I may not know about that scam thing, but I don’t think this one has anything to do with that,” says Judy.Viona looks at Judy with curiosity. And then, she turns his attention back to Victor, and finds Victor giving an expression as if he is affirming what Judy just said to her.“Are you telling me there are still other crimes that you have committed other than that scam?”“No! That’s not it,” replies Victor curtly and tries to ignore her.He just takes a seat there and closes his face with both hands, looking so lifeless to serve Viona for a further debate.“Judy, just tell Jane to cast out those two cops,” he issues.“Okay!” replies Judy.“Hey, wait!” Viona halts her. “Victor, you can’t just do that. It will onl
