Smith managed to contact the establishment's owner and immediately called him. He first explained the situation and the issue at hand, not forgetting to introduce himself as the head butler of the Morrison family, which left the man on the other end of the line both shocked and anxious.

It was still early in the morning, but they were receiving a complaint from someone of influence—and that person was currently raising an issue with his café. No businessman would take such a complaint lightly, especially from Richard Morrison.

The owner immediately felt that his day would not go well and nervously asked how to resolve the situation.

"I'll let you speak directly to my employer." Smith then handed the phone to Richard.

Taking the phone and glaring at the two employees, Richard said, "I want you to fire these two employees immediately—the manager and the supervisor here."

"Of course, sir. I'll do it right away. I'll contact them directly, so please, don't take any action against

    "It's been a while since I visited this place," Richard thought as he stopped in front of a house he used to visit occasionally, though not in the past year.Rachel had recently visited him instead, so it had been weeks since his last visit here. Standing by the monochrome-themed entrance, he glanced at Smith, who was waiting by his side for instructions on whether to enter with him or remain outside. "I won't be long; stay here," Richard said.Smith nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir."Richard stepped inside, greeted by one of the house attendants who led him to the living room where Brad and Wilona were seated.The couple immediately stood up in surprise upon seeing Richard. "Goodness, Mr. Richard. Why didn't you let us know you were coming?" Brad asked awkwardly, reaching out his hand to shake Richard's.Richard smiled faintly, shaking his hand. "Why would I need to? Am I not welcome here without notice? Should I leave now?" he replied, turning the question back in a way that made them

    After leaving Rachel's house Richard returned to his schedule to meet Naomi. He had originally postponed it, but now rescheduled their meeting through Smith."Did you arrange it?" he got into his car while glancing at the front where Smith was.Smith nodded his head, as soon as he was informed he immediately rescheduled their meeting again. But this time in a different place, Smith chose a more private place to be careful. He was worried that the incident would happen again and put Richard in a bad mood.Richard was not a moody person, quick to change his mood and quick to decide. He wasn't usually like that, but lately maybe because there were so many things going on, he was a little tired."I didn't arrange a dinner together at xxx restaurant for this meeting, and Miss Naomi agreed sir." he reported it more clearly.While Naomi herself did not complain much, she knew Richard was a busy man so meeting him was a difficult thing. She didn't mind at all if they had to reschedule the mee

    Naomi was back at her lodgings in a hotel near the city center. Behold, the 5-star. She appeared on the balcony of her room wearing her nightgown.The woman stood leaning on the balcony divider while holding a glass filled with wine. She shook the contents of the glass and then sipped slowly. Her mind was reminded of Richard, whom she had met earlier. Somehow, she felt familiar with Richard.When she saw his figure, she remembered someone she knew, someone whose existence could no longer be found."He looks similar to Kevin," Naomi muttered while gazing at the tall buildings with their bright lights.The sight of the hotel was sentimental and romantic at the same time, the glow of the lights and the small dots below moving beautifully. Unfortunately, she had such a beautiful time alone, without any friends to accompany her.Maybe her life would have been more enjoyable if Kevin had been around. She had no friends, and the only person she felt close to and compatible with was Kevin. Bu

    After walking around and spending time together, they went home. Richard drove Rachel back to her house and sat there to enjoy their time together a little longer."Do you want to see the painting from yesterday? I finished it." Edith, who had led Richard to her room, took his hand and directed him to sit there.Sent was sitting on one of the sofas in Rachel's room, nodding his head with a smile. "Yes, I want to see it."Rachel then smiled, releasing her hand from Richard's grip. She moved away cheerfully.While Richard, sitting there at the moment, was staring at the whole room, he noticed everything displayed there and for him to make it look interesting. His room and Rachel's room were different; if Richard's room tended to be filled with various books and monochrome colors, Rachel's room seemed the opposite.Everything there seemed brighter, with a strong and soft female charm. Some objects displayed were paintings, not paintings, but decorations in the form of flowers and everyth

They are not only a couple planning to build a household together but also a solid team facing all challenges.Richard has taught Rachel many things, especially how to understand how other people behave in her social circle. For Richard, being selective is important, and he believes that Rachel needs to surround herself with people who support her, not just those who want to take advantage of her situation.Many people tried to get close to Rachel, trying to find opportunities to benefit from being her friend. Rachel is now wiser in choosing her friends. She knows some people want to approach her because of her status as Richard's soon-to-be wife.

    The state of the waves that appeared in front of their eyes was currently in a severe situation; the wind continued to blow strongly, and the seaweed that previously seemed calm was now moving with high waves that continued to hit the shoreline repeatedly.Viewed from a certain angle, the sea waves seemed to hit the cliffs with such force that the sound could be heard roaring.From one of the buildings, James stared angrily at the angry sea. "Why is this happening again? How can this happen again to Richard?" he looked worriedly at the thought of his son's unknown whereabouts.It had been two days since it happened, and they still hadn't gotten a clear location of Richard's whereabouts, nor had they gotten any news from the man saying that he was in good condition."Is it possible that someone is after him again and planning to do something to him?" James' anxiety grew.In his old age, he became increasingly anxious whenever Richard's condition was unknown. Moreover, this was not just

    Several days passed, and by this time, Richard had woken up from his period of unconsciousness, yes seemingly following Alexa, a woman who took care of him while he was in his sick state, who was also the daughter of the healer who helped him in the healing process."So, what is it?" Richard pointed at a clamshell that the woman was cleaning and decorating.Alexa's hand held the sizable shell and showed it to him. "This is a clam shell. Haven't you ever seen one?" she looked at Richard's face with a puzzled frown. "Didn't you ever know?"Richard stared dazedly, then shook his head. "I'm not sure. But it looks pretty." he took it from Alexa's hand with a smile.Alexa looked at him with a question in her mind. She wondered if it was possible for someone to not recognize something at all. Even though Richard was awake at the moment, she was still worried about Richard's condition. The man seemed so healthy and fine he had been able to interact normally, but there were many things he didn

    Alexa welcomed her father who had just returned from visiting one of the sick villagers. That day her father returned quite late in the afternoon after he and Richard had done a lot of work together and even prepared dinner for the three of them.After helping Alexa Richard was seen sitting at the simple dining table chair, in the room with the healer who helped to heal her. They seemed to be talking, discussing small matters about the village and what they were doing."So how are you feeling? Are you feeling better?" the healer and the man who was Alexa's father, a man named Sam, looked at him kindly.Richard nodded his head, responding quite calmly while arranging the cutlery on the table. "Yes, I feel better.""Does it still hurt quite a bit when you try to remember things?" she reassured.Richard nodded his head, he did feel a throbbing pain in his head when he tried to remember things. When he remembered why he was there and why he couldn't remember about himself at all or when h

    One evening, after a few hours, more than one helicopter landed in the village area, and the whole village became crowded because of this.They did not expect that the missing person who had been searched for by the strangers who came to the village was still alive. To them, it was quite impossible; considering what the storm was like that day and the ocean was a fierce place, they did not think that the missing person was still safe and intact."Mr. Richard." Smith got off first and came to him hurriedly.The 45-year-old man hugged Richard so tightly and emotionally that he had almost given up hope in his quest to find Richard. He himself had even stopped hoping that the possibility of Richard being alive and somewhere was such a great miracle. He was alive and found somewhere.Smith released his embrace and looked at Richard with happiness mixed with emotion. "I'm glad you're okay, sir."After Smith let go, James, who was led by Rachel, hugged him tightly. "I trust you are doing wel

    "Alright, then. Tomorrow, we will go to look for your family's whereabouts." Alexa made the choice; Richard looked at her, who seemed confused.Richard didn't understand why Alexa seemed so serious when they had never discussed it with obvious effort before. "Why all of a sudden?" he wondered if perhaps they no longer wanted him there. Is it possible that my presence is becoming inconvenient?"Alexa smiled with a shaded face, her head shook, and her hand rubbed lightly over the back of Richard's hand, trying to get his attention. "No, it's not. Your existence is not inconvenient at all; quite the opposite. I'm honestly grateful to have you here." Alexa pursed her lips tightly and turned her attention to stare straight back ahead.She stared at the vast and calm expanse of the sea. Her feelings about letting go of Richard were still quite reluctant. She had a great desire to keep Richard there, but she also didn't want to be selfish."Today my friend came to tell me that in the village

    After finishing cleaning up, Richard went to Alexa, who also seemed to be cleaning up the glasses in their house's living room.Richard's eyes scanned the place, looking for the whereabouts of the guest whose voice had been heard earlier when he entered through the back door. "Has the guest gone home?" he glanced over and helped Alexa.Without hesitation, Richard's hand took over the tray Alexa was carrying and placed it in the kitchen. At the same time, Alexa followed suit, carrying the snack container. "Yes, they're home." She replied flatly, without any expression that sounded cheerful from her answer.Richard watched her, noticing something a little different about Alexa's demeanour compared to usual. He thought maybe the guests had affected her mood, or maybe something else was to blame. He wasn't sure exactly, but even he didn't want to ask if Alexa didn't seem to want to explain. "Who are the guests who came?" She made small talk while walking towards the dining table.Approach

    "Jacob, where are you going?" one of the villagers greeted Richard, who seemed to be walking with an axe in his hand. "Are you heading to the forest?" he asked enthusiastically because he was happy to see Richard, one of the new residents there.Richard, who had just managed to turn around and look for who was talking to him, smiled and nodded. "Morning, Mr. Jack." He politely greeted the old man whom he recognized as Sam's friend."Yes, morning, young man." He smiled kindly in response to Richard's greeting. "If you have time, come to the house. You promised to help me yesterday when you were free."Richard nodded. "Later, when I am free, I will try to drop by, sir. " He selflessly helped some nearby neighbours who needed his help.It had been a month since he had been in that place, and now he was living a very normal life there. Just like everyone else, Richard also had his own activities. Sometimes, he joined some men to go fishing at sea, without him knowing that he used to be a

    Sitting in his private room, James looked anxiously at the picture frame containing Richard's picture. For days, he had been waiting for news of Richard and conducted a massive search. But the search was ultimately fruitless. There were still no reports of Richard's whereabouts or any signs of him being stranded somewhere.Her worries grew as time passed. The first 24 hours after Richard disappeared were the golden hour to find his whereabouts and determine whether he was in good or bad condition.But a week had passed since then, and there was still no further news of his whereabouts."Is there still no sign of Richard's whereabouts?" James asked Smith in the room.His anxiety was rife with other things, his heart was in turmoil, and his feelings had become chaotic since Richard's whereabouts were declared missing.The news of Richard's disappearance made him not stop thinking about where Richard was and what the situation was like. His condition, which he continues to worry about, c

    "What took you so long to come back?" Alexa, who was waiting there, turned her head and noticed Richard, who had just returned, walking over to her.Richard nodded his head. "In line." he took over the groceries held by Alexa.Telling her about what he experienced while inside earlier, for him, Alexa didn't need to know that the Baron was still bothering him. Apart from not wanting to make the woman anxious, he also didn't want Alexa to have a particular view of his attitude that could be considered rude by her.He smiled at the woman. "Do we have anything else to do? Or do you want us to go home?"Alexa helped Richard carry a few easy things to take to not burden Richard too much. "Let's just go home; it's too late. Tomorrow, I have to get up early to store breakfast because Dad will be leaving early in the morning." She started to leave the place, followed by Richard, who walked beside her."Tomorrow morning? Where is Sam going?""Dad said there is someone he needs to help. One of t

    Alexa glanced at Richard with a gaze that stared strangely at him."Why are you looking at me like that?" Richard, who realized her gaze, then asked.Alexa headed back to stare straight ahead. "I was just wondering. How could you do that? When you did it earlier, I looked so expert. Unlike someone who just tried, your posture and then the techniques you used seemed to clearly show that you were an expert." She looked back at Richard in confusion. "Tell me, how did you do it?"Richard looked at her in silence for a while. Like Alexa, he was confused by what had been done. He did not expect that his ability was that great.The more he thought about it, the more astonished he became. He obviously didn't remember anything at all., but strangely, he could do it all so well. "I don't know., Richard shook his head as he replied. "I'm not sure myself what I'm doing and how I'm doing it so well. All I feel is that my body knows how to do it." He explained the confusion to Alexa.After hearing

    "No, it can't be like that. I disagree that I should stay away from her." Baron rejected their agreement, which he agreed to without thinking.Obviously, Baron rejected Richard's request to limit his interaction with Alexa. He dared challenge Richard and felt hateful and annoyed at him because Alex was the reason. He didn't want any other man or Richard to get close to him.Baron has liked Alexa for a long time, and Jack, from their teenage stuff, has always followed and been attracted to her. But his feelings were unrequited because Alexa didn't show any interest in him at all.The Baron knew that. He knew that Alexa didn't like him, but he still tried to get close to her, hoping that someday Alexa would change her mind. He kept trying and never gave up because he thought that maybe his efforts would be rewarded with what he hoped for someday.But if he couldn't get close to her in the end just because he lost the bet, then his efforts all this time were futile and ridiculous.He sho

    The two of them were now in their respective positions, wearing a set of arrows and getting ready in place. He arrows where they were. They were surrounded by people who wanted to witness the showdown between the two.On one side, Richard only came along with Alexa, who was currently so nervous and anxious about the possibility of Richard's condition getting a bad name with this challenge.On the other hand, Baron was surrounded by friends who were eager to see Richard defeated. The young men of the village clearly disliked Richard's existence and the way Richard behaved towards them.Specifically, they didn't need a reason to dislike Richard because even just looking at him could immediately make them dislike him and want to look down on him."Shouldn't you undo your intentions, Jacob?" Alexa approached him again and spoke in a worried tone.She was distraught, having promised her father that she would look after Richard. She would take Richard there with the insight that maybe from
