It’s already past 10 p.m. Meanwhile, Laura Underwood is still busy helping her daughter packs her things.Laura and her husband have already moved most of their belongings into their new house in Strugist Hill.The only thing holding them back now is Veronica, their only daughter, a teenage girl who is currently a senior in high school. It’s not easy for them to persuade the daughter to leave Donovan’s residence.“Then what about school?” the girl whines. “Strugist Hill is too far. It will take an hour and a half from there to my school.”“Your father can drop you off before he goes to work,” Laura replies, forcing to carry her daughter’s suitcases out of the house.“That’s not the problem, mom! If I have to live there, it means I have to wake up much early. Besides, I’ll be too far from my friends.”Laura doesn’t budge, and puts the two suitcases in the trunk of the car. “You can invite your friends to stay at our house in the weekend. Haven’t you always asked my permission to bring f

By keeping his deadpan reaction, Thomas walks past the girl. But the girl immediately holds his hand from behind.“Wooo! Where do you think you are going?”Thomas turns to her, and sighs with an uninterested look. And again, the girl examines Thomas more intently.She looks even more confused to find that Thomas came without bringing any document despite talking about looking for a job.“Is this your first time visiting a metropolitan city like Drada?” she squints.Thomas shrugs by raising both eyebrows, and asks, “Why?”The girl slightly shakes her head with a disbelieving face. “Ever heard about an application letter?”“I don’t need it,” replies Thomas flat. “I’ve already made an appointment with the boss here.”Immediately, the girl’s face contorts, and then grimacing with a stupid look.“Who are you trying to fool?”But suddenly, Thomas’ attention is attracted by the little commotion that occurs in the lobby. A few people are drawn to one big screen showing the morning news, report

Thomas asks the question casually, but it leaves Naomi speechless with a blank mind. She doesn’t know what to answer or how to react.The situation in the car becomes so quiet. And suddenly…“Tin! Tinnnnn!!!”A car honks so long from behind. Thomas realizes that the traffic light has already turned green. So he continues driving, shaking his head slightly with an amused smile, ignoring Naomi in her confusion.He doesn’t seem too disappointed not to get a definite answer from her. On the contrary, he would be very unhappy if the girl gave him a promise with sweet words like what Sylvia Williamson gave him two weeks ago.Until more than 10 minutes in the journey, the awkwardness is still clearly visible on Naomi's face. So Thomas speaks up first to change the mood.“You don’t need to worry about my legs. It will be back to normal in a day or two.”Naomi’s face turns bright after hearing it.“I get it that you’ve said in front of people that I am your boyfriend,” Thomas continues. “There

Thomas takes a cold glance at them while holding the car door, with face remains flat at the sight of their desperation.He gets into the car, and finds Naomi welcoming him with a sweet smile.“Do you love seeing them in that situation?” Naomi teases.“How would I be satisfied when it wasn’t me who did it?” Thomas denies as he starts the car.Naomi giggles with a silly face. “I know what you feel. You don’t need to hide it from me!”Thomas seems trying hard to ignore her by focusing on driving the car, but the girl finds it amusing.Soon, she remembers something important, and takes out the necklace Erica found yesterday.Once she shows it off…Screech!!!Thomas hits the brakes. He looks so shocked, and immediately snatches the necklace away. It catches Naomi by surprise.“So, it’s really yours?” she asks.“Where did you find it?” Thomas inquires. “Did you steal it when I was unconscious?”His eyes are icy cold, looking angry at something. The mood inside the car slowly turns dark. Now

Without asking any more questions, Naomi gets down while covering her head. But that’s not enough, because Thomas doesn’t want her to see him doing anything odds. He has no choice but takes off his suit and uses it to cover Naomi’s head.“What the?” Naomi looks displeased, intending to get the suit away.But then, the mysterious men in the muscle car begin to open fire. So, Thomas simply holds Naomi’s head down and issues a specific command.“Inventory! Box No. 9!”A second later, Naomi notices the appearance of blue light. And soon…Boom!!!She is surprised by the sound of an explosion nearby and covers her head with Thomas’ suit by instinct.Moments later, she collects her courage to take a peek, and there she sees Thomas holding a grenade in his right hand, with its pin already in his teeth.“Woooaaa!!! Where did you get that thing?”Thomas simply glances at her, which of course makes her panic even more. How could she not, he has already removed the grenade pin, yet he is still hol
