This weekend Bill didn't accept Lee's invitation to go somewhere because he had his own plans. He also wondered why one of his coworkers always asked to be accompanied by him if he wanted to go out. Ronie said that Lee had a trauma of traveling because he had been attacked suddenly while visiting a relative. Maybe Lee feels safe when accompanied by Bill because Bill is quite big and tall, so Lee's subconscious says Bill can protect him.Bill wanted to move out of Joana's apartment as soon as possible, which was why he had taken the time off to renovate the room on the roof of Zigga's dormitory. He had arrived early in the morning with some carpentry tools. He also bought a few cans of paint to make the roof look brighter."Hi, Bill." Ginna appeared and greeted Bill who was scanning his surroundings."Oh, hi." Bill said."I heard you said you wanted to live here. Is that true?" Ginna asked as she sat down on a worn-out bench."Yeah. I don't have enough money to rent a comfortable place,
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
Joana was shocked to wake up in Bill's arms. They were both lying on his bed with Bill holding her tightly.Joana immediately got out of Bill's embrace and immediately sat up with an expression that was difficult to describe, while Bill himself only squirmed and changed his sleeping position."Bill, wake up! Why are you sleeping in my bed?" Joana shook Bill's body."Bill! Wake up!" Joana raised her voice an octave.Of course Bill was surprised and woke up immediately. Bill's open eyes immediately met Joana's eyes, which were also staring at him."Why are you here? What's going on?" asked Joana with some concern."Oh, no, no. Don't think anything!" Bill immediately jumped up from his lying position."Explain to me why you can sleep on my bed and ...." Joana dangled her question. The image of her awake in Bill's arms filled her head, making her chest pound a bit."Last night you came home drunk. I helped you into your room and laid you on the bed, but then you started crying like you we
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
That day, after coming home from work, Bill took the time to shop for a few things for his new home. A folding mattress, a portable cabinet and some kitchen utensils for him to cook with. All of these items were immediately placed in his new place of residence to be organized."Need some help?" As before, Ginna showed up while Bill was cleaning up.Bill turned around and found Ginna carrying pillows and blankets."I have some unused pillows and blankets. You can use them," Ginna said as she put them down."Oh, thank you very much." Arthur smiled at the girl. He hadn't bought the pillow and blanket when he bought the futon earlier, forgot to buy them more precisely. It was a very fitting coincidence that Ginna had brought those two items for him, as if the girl knew exactly what he needed."So when will you start living here?" Ginna asked."Probably tomorrow." Bill said as he continued his work. The man seemed to be assembling the portable cabinet he had bought earlier."Is the kitchen
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
Everything that happens in the private room is beyond the expectations of Adam, Roe and their friends. Originally, they had intended to trap Joana by putting stimulants in her drink, then have a good time before deciding whether or not to invest. However, what happened this time was that they were listening to Joana's presentation once again about Zigga Company and the projects the company was currently working on.Bill's presence with Joana was, of course, the main reason things were not going according to their plan. The man looked like a tiger ready to pounce on anyone who dared to touch Joana."How about it, Mr. Adam and Mr. Roe? Have you all decided to become our investors after my presentation?" Joana asked after finishing her presentation.Adam and Roe looked a little misguided. Bill could clearly see that the two men were not serious about investing. They were just eyeing Joana's body.Joana was indeed an attractive woman when viewed through the eyes of a man. She had a beauti
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
