After leaving the office, Franklin decided to meet Clara at her office. Although the two of them had met last night and spent quite some time together, Franklin had to see Clara, there was something he had to tell her."Are you going straight home, sir?" Franklin, who had just come out of his room, immediately turned his head when he heard someone's voice. He nodded his head when it was none other than his new secretary.Suddenly Sarah's face changed, making Franklin frown in confusion, "What's wrong?" he asked finally.Sarah looked down, her fingers fiddling nervously with the hem of her blazer. "Actually, sir... I have no one to pick me up today," she said quietly.Franklin was silent for a moment, digesting Sarah's words. He could sense there was something his new secretary wasn't saying."I see," Franklin finally said. "What do you usually take home?"Sarah lifted her face, her eyes meeting Franklin's. There was hope implicit there. "I usually take the bus, sir. But today... the l
After the departure of his employee, Franklin and Clara are now a little awkward. They both seemed to be in the middle of being caught doing something. Clara turned to Franklin, the woman was really feeling awkward at the moment. Because of her employee, they had to be in this awkward position. "He's really annoying," Clara finally said, trying to change the awkward atmosphere. Seeing Clara's words made Franklin smile. "Maybe it's a pretty important file Clara, that's why before going home your employee gave you the file."Clara could only nod her head, clearly the woman knew that the document currently on the table was quite important. It's just that couldn't her employee just wait until tomorrow morning? Given that her employee was really bothering her. "Yeah, I know 'Franklin, but he's still annoying. He should have gone home at this hour instead of giving me that file."Franklin couldn't help but smile, he then took Clara's hand and said, "You should be grateful to have such a
Clara let out a long sigh, trying to contain her annoyance at Franklin's overconfidence. But on the other hand, she was also amused by the man's behavior."Alright, alright. You are indeed handsome, Franklin. Satisfied now?" said Clara in a sarcastic tone, though there was a small smile on her lips.Franklin laughed softly. "I was just joking, Clara. But it's nice to hear you admit it."Clara rolled her eyes. "Don't be so happy. I only said it to get you to stop being a bitch.""Oh, so you find me annoying?" asked Franklin, pretending to be hurt."Sometimes," Clara replied briefly, but her smile widened.The two of them were silent for a moment, enjoying their moment together while looking at the cityscape outside the window. The awkward atmosphere that had been created earlier had now completely melted away."By the way," Franklin broke the silence, "what are your plans for tonight? It's time to go home, but it looks like the roads are still jammed."Clara considered for a moment. "H
Clara woke up breathless, cold sweat beading on her forehead. The nightmare she had just experienced felt so real, it made her tremble. In the dream, Franklin had left her without explanation, vanishing from her life.She glanced at the clock on the nightstand - 2:30am. Clara knew it wasn't the right time to call someone, but the anxiety was too strong to ignore. With trembling hands, she reached for her cell phone and searched for Franklin's contact.Her finger hesitated over the call button. Should she do this? What if Franklin woke up and was disturbed? Or worse, what if Franklin didn't answer his call?After a few moments of warring with her own mind, Clara finally decided to press the call button. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard the dial tone.Once... twice... three times..."Hello?" Franklin's voice, still a little hoarse from just waking up, sounded on the other end of the line."Franklin?" Clara whispered, her voice sounding shaky."Clara? What's wrong? Are you okay?"
Clara sat huddled in the corner of her room, her heart pounding in her chest. The sound of the knocking on the door grew louder and more urgent, sending shivers down her spine. She hugged her knees to her chest, trying to calm her racing thoughts."What do I do?" Clara whispered to herself, her voice barely audible over the sound of her own heartbeat. She glanced at the mysterious envelope on the table, the message inside still fresh in her mind."Don't trust everything you see," Clara repeated the words written on the paper. But what did it mean? Who had sent her this cryptic message, and why?The knocking on the door persisted, growing more insistent with each passing moment. Clara knew she couldn't ignore it any longer. With trembling hands, she stood up and made her way to the door.As she reached for the doorknob, a sudden wave of fear washed over her. What if it was someone dangerous on the other side? What if her worst nightmares were about to come true?Taking a deep breath, C
Franklin stepped into his house, his heart still filled with warmth from his meeting with Clara. A soft smile played on his lips as he recalled their embrace, the whispered words of love, and the promise to always be together. However, the smile soon faded as he heard the sound of conversation from the living room."Franklin, honey! You're finally home," his mother's voice came from inside. "Come quickly, I have a special guest for you!"With heavy steps, Franklin walked towards the living room. His heart seemed to stop beating when he saw the figure sitting next to his mother - Selena, his ex-girlfriend."Hi, Franklin," greeted Selena with an awkward smile. "Long time no see."Franklin felt his throat dry up. "Selena... what are you doing here?"Before Selena could answer, Franklin's mother interjected enthusiastically. "Oh, Selena happened to be passing by and decided to drop by. Isn't this a nice surprise?"Franklin could feel the tension in the air. He knew his mother had always l
Franklin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as he drove to Clara's apartment. He knew that honest communication was key in their relationship, but he still felt nervous.At exactly 7 o'clock, Franklin arrived at Clara's apartment. He knocked gently on the door, and Clara opened it with a warm smile."Hi, honey," Clara greeted, giving Franklin a light peck on the cheek. "Come on in."Franklin stepped inside, his eyes sweeping the room that was all too familiar to him. Clara had prepared a simple dinner on the dining table."I thought we could have dinner and talk," Clara said. "Whatever you want to talk about, we can discuss it on a full stomach."Franklin smiled weakly, appreciating Clara's efforts. They sat down and began to eat in awkward silence.Finally, Clara broke the silence. "So, Franklin, what did you want to talk about?"Franklin put down his fork and looked at Clara. "Clara, I... I want to be honest with you. Last night, my ex-girlfriend, Selena, came to my house."
Currently, Frankin is having a meeting with one of his business partners in a place. He who was sitting in the back seat of the steering wheel frowned as he passed several places that he thought were rarely passed. Frankin looked back to the right and left, trying to clarify the road he was currently traveling on. Although he had tried to see clearly and tried to memorize it, but the man felt completely unfamiliar with the road that the two of them were currently passing through.Franklin then looked forward, gazing at his personal driver who was currently so focused on driving. "Are you sure we're not going the wrong way?" Asked Franklin looking seriously at the man who was now almost 50 years old. Parjo who was currently driving the car immediately turned his head. He smiled and said, "Take it easy Mr. Franklin, I think this is the right road."Hearing the words of his personal driver made Franklin nod his head. Of course he trusted his personal driver because he had worked with
