I am worried about you
“Sir, Mr. Felix is here to visit.” The maid knocked softly on Mr. Graham’s door.A cough was heard from inside, and the maid opened the door slowly. Before it was fully open, she said again, “Sir, I’ve brought Mr. Felix. He wants to check on you.”“Ah, yes, come in.” Mr. Graham replied in a hoarse, heavy voice accompanied by a persistent cough.Once Felix was inside, the maid left, closing the door behind her. Felix looked at the bed with a sympathetic gaze and hurried over. However, Mr. Graham, who was lying down, raised one hand to stop him.“Stop right there. You might catch it,” said Mr. Graham, coughing again, forcing Felix to halt in his tracks.“I’m sick like this. Why did you even come? There are a lot of viruses here,” Mr. Graham continued.Felix frowned disapprovingly. “How could I not visit you when you’re in a condition like this?”“Jorell, bring the package over here!” Felix held out his hand. Secretary Jorell handed over the gift he was carrying for Felix to give to Mr.
Antique Painting
At a luxurious villa—more specifically, at Mr. Graham’s home—the atmosphere was very peaceful. The homeowner, Mr. Graham, was feeding his pet birds while whistling cheerfully.He still looked as fit as ever, with a face full of cheer. He didn’t look sick at all.After finishing the bird food in his hand, he walked over to a chair not far from where he had been standing and sipped the green tea that the maid had just served him. But not long after, he—who had been in such a good mood—was suddenly startled by a remark from one of his bodyguards.“Sir, Mr. Felix’s car is at the gate,” he said.Instantly, he spit out the tea he hadn’t yet sipped and turned with wide, startled eyes. “What? You said Felix’s car is at the gate?”The bodyguard bowed his head and replied, “Yes, sir.”Mr. Graham was still in shock and muttered, “Why did he suddenly come here? Did he find something?”“No, this isn’t the time for guesswork. You go out front and let him in—I need to get to my room immediately.” Th
Relationship Breakdown
As soon as the meeting ended, Alfred walked out with two other council members: the one who had met with him the night before and the one who had been acting strangely during the meeting.“What do you think?” Alfred asked, looking at them anxiously. He quickened his pace and stopped in front of them; it was clear he needed an explanation that would ease his mind.“Just a routine clarification,” replied Milton, the council member who had acted strangely in the meeting room. “Nothing to worry about.”“What’s there not to worry about? He wouldn’t have asked that if he didn’t have proof,” Alfred retorted, unconsciously raising his voice.Ozzie, the council member who served as their leader, immediately scolded him. “Lower your voice! Don’t let anyone hear!”Alfred immediately clamped his mouth shut. He looked around, then continued in a whisper, his face still showing panic. “Sir, what should we do? We need to come up with another backup plan. We can’t let… I don’t want to go to jail.”“T
No News
Alfred, one of the board members, closed the door to his office and hurried over to his desk, grabbing his phone to check something. However, as soon as he saw that there were no incoming message notifications, his eyes widened in panic. “Why haven’t they sent a message yet? It’s been this long…”Then he dialed Moretti’s number, about to call him, but hesitated. He paused for a moment and switched to Simon’s number, but the same thing happened again.“This isn’t like them. They should have contacted me after yesterday’s instructions,” he muttered, shaking his head slowly, deep in thought, finding it strange that there were no incoming messages from either of them.Usually, they were always quick to report in. Even their current locations were always reported on time.But now, several days had passed, and not a single message had come in, even though the last instruction was crucial—one that concerned their very lives—especially Simon, who had clearly already received a threat.“I have
You've lost the person who cared about you the most
In a dark room, Simon sat in a wooden chair with his hands and feet bound. The only light came from a small window covered by white lace curtains, allowing a sliver of light from outside to filter through.The shadow of the curtain moving gently—even though there was no wind—felt eerie. And as the only person there, Simon naturally felt overwhelmed. He kept trying to untie the ropes binding his body while frantically scanning his surroundings.However, instead of breaking free, he fell hard to one side. The sound echoed, and he dared not even groan in pain.As cold sweat began to form on his temples, the sound of a key in the lock was heard, followed by the door opening, letting light from outside pour in. Simon instinctively ducked, shielding his eyes from the blinding light.The sound of footsteps echoed menacingly, accompanied by a long shadow. Simon froze and eventually chose to pretend he was unconscious.His face was pale, his lips dry, and sweat was soaking his body. His eyelas
Ensuring One Thing
Felix's office door closed slowly. Van stood by the door, one hand still on the handle, making sure no one was eavesdropping, even though it was late at night and all the employees had gone home.In the middle of the room, Moretti stood with his back straight, his shirt wrinkled from the long journey. But his face was paler than the last time he appeared at headquarters.Felix did not greet him or ask him to sit down. He didn't even look at him, as if his presence was invisible.It was precisely this attitude that made Moretti even more tense. Sweat began to appear on his temples, even though the room's air conditioning was on.Van, who was watching, could almost feel his feelings at that moment. He swallowed several times nervously. His heart kept screaming with gratitude that he had not remained trapped in his arrogance.It was unimaginable if, at that time, he still hated Felix and continued to work at this company. His life now might not be any better than Moretti's."Thank you fo
