"Who are you? Why did you suddenly come and interfere?" Jacob stared at her sharply, looking at the woman who stopped near them with a look of dislike.They don't know where she came from, they don't know what she knew, but she spoke boldly, getting involved in a conversation that didn't even concern her. The woman beside Jacob stared sarcastically at her, her body language showing that she greatly disliked the woman.Jacob's lover looked at the long-haired stranger who looked so classic, considering she was dressed like a woman from the noble class but also trendy. With a scarf wrapped around her neck and sunglasses that completed her look, she looked both classic and bold."This is none of your business." Although he didn't like her, Jacob's lover knew that he didn't need to find trouble with a woman who seemed to be from the upper class as well. His eyes scanned the clothes she was wearing once again while watching her gestures that seemed very purposeful and graceful. "Go back to
Jhonas, who heard Jessica's offer, approached Richard, who was silent and did not respond. He slightly tugged Richard's arm, making Richard look up at him. "Fashion show model!" he exclaimed in a half-whisper, his voice as restrained as possible because he didn't want Jessica or anyone else there to hear their conversation. "She's offering you great things. This job is certainly better than being a fish trader in the market, Richard." He seemed enthusiastic about Jessica's offer.Although Jessica didn't offer it to him, Jhonas seemed very optimistic, and he sincerely wanted it for Richard. He knew Richard and knew what kind of life Richard had lived.Jhonas tapped the still-silent Richard on the shoulder. "If you become a model, this will be great for you, you won't hear people insulting you and with this, I'm sure your ex-wife will regret her actions. Your shop is closed anyway, so go for it. Take her up on her offer." Jhonas continued to encourage and convince Richard to take the op
"What is this?" Jhonas stood between the roll-royce parked right beside him and Richard, who stood in front of him. He stared in confusion at the luxury car, his face unable to hide his surprise.For a moment, he seemed to admire the luxury car, but the next moment, he looked at Richard with various questions on his face. He didn't understand why Richard had offered to take him home and bring him to the luxury car.Jhonas pointed at the car stiffly. "Don't tell me you want to drive me in this car." he stared at Richard like a robot. "This... your car?" he asked again after processing the situation further.Richard smiled slightly, pulled the door open, and went inside. "Come in. I'll tell you about it while I take you home," he explained to Jhonas.Jhonas shut his mouth quickly when Richard got inside and sat down casually. He was amazed and almost exclaimed out loud. Then, shortly after, he immediately ran in the other direction and entered from the door next to him. "Amazing Richard
"None of your business, get lost!" the boys retorted to Richard rudely.They ignored Richard's words, forbidding them to steal there, and kept busy grabbing what they could hold in a hurry, their heads constantly moving between observing the items they were about to grab and looking around.Richard looked at the teenagers, rather disturbed, he again tried to get closer and obstruct them. "Of course, it's my business." He slipped between them. "This place belongs to my friend, and I won't let you guys harm it."The teenagers gave him an annoyed look. One of them, standing right in front of Richard, clenched his fist and acted defiantly. "Then what are you going to do, huh? You're going to yell and make him come out?! Just mind your own business and leave us alone. Don't act like a jerk by getting involved in other people's business."Seeing the attitude of the teenagers, Richard realized that social problems did not only come from adults. They all stemmed from when they were teenagers.
The teenagers stared frantically at Richard and the mess, the bravest of them looking up at Richard even as his body reacted anxiously. "You did it!" he shouted, pointing at the items scattered on the floor. "It's your fault! You're the one who pulled us down and caused this. We won't compensate you."Richard stared absurdly at the teenagers. "You guys seem to be used to blaming others for your actions, considering how easily you accused me when the mess happened right before your eyes."One of them stood up immediately. He shook the dust off his pants and went to Richard. "If you hadn't shown up and interfered, this wouldn't have happened, asshole!" there was fear in his eyes that were busy moving around observing the situation, but he still tried to intimidate Richard by being bold.While his two friends in the back observed the antique glassware lying on the floor anxiously, they began to imagine that bad things would happen because of the current situation. One of the two cowards
The rambunctious teenager looked at Richard with annoyance. "Are you a complete moron or what?" he approached Richard with a mocking look on his face. "Can't you read the situation? The old man said to leave it alone. Do you know what that means?"The teenager had confidence that even if Richard reported it to the authorities, it could be severe. It could lead to them getting sanctioned or, worst of all, getting punished in juvenile prison. But that didn't scare him. Unlike his two friends, who were at the back, they clearly showed their fear.He raised a hand, spread it out, and pointed at Richard's chest. "That is, there is no point in contacting the police."Richard looked at him coldly. He brushed off the boy's hand. They were staring intently. On the one hand, the teenager was challenging him, while on the other hand, Richard responded calmly."When you make a mistake, you should lower your head. Instead of raising your head proudly like now." He noticed the crooked smile on the
The policeman named Rick turned to Richard and stopped his steps. "You misunderstood." He smiled immediately at Richard after not paying the slightest attention to him. His hand moved to point at the group of teenagers. "They're just kids joking around, nothing serious." Richard looked at his shoulder, which the man tapped flatly, then moved his shoulder out of the man's reach. Richard knew what he was seeing and could judge for himself regarding their behavior that Rick had called a joke.For a joke, what they did was beyond the pale. They were harming others financially and mentally as well, so how could it be a joke? He wasn't sure he agreed with Rick."Their actions are not a joke, I'm sure you know, regarding the actions they committed can be subject to which articles." Richard was also not a person who did not understand the laws of his country.Rick smiled sarcastically in front of him. He was starting to feel tired of Richard's attitude that only wanted to make things difficu
The man named Jackson, who was called the commander, then looked sharply at Erick. "What are you doing? As a law enforcer, how can you behave so far from a role model?" Jackson snapped at him loudly, ignoring the stares of those looking at him, still in shock. Erick frowned. He didn't fully understand what Jackson was saying. He knew he had done the right thing in this situation. "It seems you misunderstood me, sir, but I did nothing wrong. I handled the situation with them as usual." He argued confidently. "I've done well. There is no problem." Erick knew handling the matter regarding those teenage boys was a bit of a departure from the rule of law, but if he had enforced the law properly on them, then the real problem would have been even bigger. So the best way is to make peace with the person the teenagers are bullying. Not only did he do it, but most of the police also handled it the same way when dealing with them, so it was not a mistake but perhaps a misunderstanding that
