"I don't think I can live in your apartment anymore, Jo. I've caused you too much trouble." That night Bill expressed his desire to move out of Joana's apartment.It had been almost a month since Bill joined Zigga Company. He had learned so much. Joana had even trusted him to be in charge of the planning department. It felt very uncomfortable to continue living with his friend. Especially since they were of different genders."I don't feel inconvenienced, though. Let's just say we're housemates." Joana responded casually."I still have to find another place to live." Bill insisted."Why, you're not comfortable living with me?" Joana asked."It's not like that. I'm perfectly comfortable living here. I don't have to think about rent, electricity bills, water bills. I don't even have to think about spending money.""What did you say? Why do I feel used?" Joana gave Bill an annoyed glance.Bill responded with a light laugh. He deliberately said that so Joana wouldn't hold back any longer.

Thanks to Ginna's help, Bill was able to finish his work on time. The roof of the previously abandoned dormitory building now looks cozy. The former warehouse room there has also been turned into a very livable place. Even the place was now very suitable as a gathering place."Thank you very much, Ginna." Bill thanked her sincerely as he was about to return to Joana's apartment. He needed to pack and shop for a few things to bring to his new home."You're welcome." Ginna replied as she took one more look at the results of their hard work today."If I don't get your help I won't be able to finish it before nightfall," Bill said again."Then next time you should invite me to dinner at your place as a thank you," Ginna replied."Yes, of course. When I'm done moving, I'll definitely invite you.""I was just joking, not serious. But if you really want to invite me, that's fine too." Ginna still showed an indifferent expression.Bill smiled. Behind Ginna's often unfriendly demeanor, he coul

Bill had left for work first, while Joana was still sitting pensively at the dining table thinking about the words Bill had said earlier. All this time, Joana was used to keeping things to herself. She also always solved the problems she faced by relying on herself, without asking for help from others. It wasn't difficult for her to reach out to others, but when it came to asking for help, it felt so heavy.Joana wants to try to be strong and resilient like before, but it seems that this time she really needs the help of others. Should she involve Bill in this complicated matter?Joana sighed deeply. She still didn't know what to do. Even though she intended to help Bill, she herself was currently experiencing difficulties."Ah, never mind. We'll see how it goes," Joana said to herself later. She then got up and got ready to go to work.Joana slung her briefcase over her shoulder and stepped out of the kitchen area. As she passed Bill's bedroom door, she suddenly stopped her steps and

Bill came home to Joana's apartment around eleven at night. He thought Joana must be asleep so he went straight inside to clean up. After showering and putting on his pajamas, Bill went to the kitchen because he was thirsty."Just home?" Joana's voice startled Bill who was drinking water.Bill put down the glass he was drinking from, then turned to Joana who looked like someone who was about to leave. The reason is, her appearance now looks neat."Are you going out?" Bill asked."Yes. The potential investor from the other day asked to meet again now. He said he had something to say in person before actually deciding to invest." Joana said.Bill's face changed as soon as he heard that. He recalled how Joana had come home drunk because she had been given alcohol by the prospective investor. Now they also looked like they were about to do the same thing to Joana again, given that it was quite late when they asked to meet."Can't you say no, Jo?" asked Bill."What do you mean no? If I say

In the end, the potential investors who intended to harass Joana were actually prosecuted. The conversation recorded by Bill and the stimulating drugs brought by Roe were enough to prove that they only wanted to take advantage of Joana, not really intending to invest. Especially after the three men brought by Adam and Roe also admitted that they were invited to have fun with a woman.Very coincidentally, one of the police officers who received a report from Bill was an acquaintance of Bill's when the man was still in his old business. Merick, the police officer who had saved Bill's life by accident. At that time Merick wanted to give Bill some money as a thank you, but Bill refused. Therefore, until now Merick still feels indebted to Bill and will not waste the opportunity to help his savior, as long as it is not against the law. Bill also seemed to get an unexpected favor. With Merick around, it was easier for him to convey the chronology of events from the beginning. Including when
