During the night, Victor is finding it hard to sleep. This is the first night he has to spend by being alone in the house since he had lived with Emma. The house is so calm and quiet, but not his heart. He is still feeling sad for losing the woman he once loved. Of course, not the ex-wife as what he just knows about recently. But the one who had accompanied him for five years. But somehow, he feels satisfied with what had happened at Johnson’s Pleasantry before. He never planned it to avenge her that way. He didn’t even think about revenge at all. However… “Serve her right! How could she be so blind not realizing the ring I gave her is genuine.” Now he is laying down there, on the bed, looking at that sparkling golden ring studded with diamonds. Even though he isn’t the type of guy who is obsessed with jewelry, the ring still looks so appealing to him. It is as if every tiny space he sees on those tiny diamonds have begun to trap him inside. That’s when he starts feeling empty i
He rushes to the window and examines the outside for more. His car is still there, and everything looks so normal outside. “Could it be that the two robbers changed their minds and left everything here? There’s no way!” He really can’t grasp what is happening and how the money and the ring are left there in the front of the door. He checks everything around the house, making sure there is no place for thieves to enter. He also checks every corner in the house, to make sure no one is hiding inside. Only after that, he goes back to his room, locks himself inside, and then sits behind the door with a frightened look on his face. In the end, he finds it hard to get to sleep again. And currently, the condition with Emma is hardly different. She still has nowhere to go, and Lucas hasn’t offered anything to her. Instead, Lucas’s attention is on the TV at one corner of the bar, watching an interview of some new Hollywood star. His interest is not as vague as a man finding a beautiful gir
He throws her to the bed, and immediately takes off his clothes. However, just as he gets naked, his phone rings. He picks the phone with an annoying face. But he can’t deny the call since it is his father's call. [Where are you?] “I have some business with a friend. I won’t be home tonight.” [No! Get home now. Your mom can’t sleep unless you get home!] “Come on, Dad! I’m not a kid anymore.” [Hey, Lucas! You are still living with us now. Tell that to me later after you get married, or at least, after you can raise money by yourself] “Cih!” There’s no way he introduces Emma to his father when she is looking like this. And there’s no way for him to restrain what he was just going to release just now either. He has been all naked, and that little brother of his is asking to be put into that warm cave. “Can't I wrap the thing I just started here?!” he asks. [Just get here in 30 minutes] As the call ends, he slams the phone into the bed, looking so annoyed and infuriated. He will
He leaves their phones there. The same with the gun which belonged to one of them. He throws away all the bullets inside, and drops the gun on that man’s chest. And then he heads back to his car. Only after he gets into his car, he take off his mask. “Shit, I should have let him use me as his personal driver,” he whines. After chilling there for some time with one cigarette, he starts the car and drives back to the town. Meanwhile, Victors is still looking so alert in his house. He gets out of his room sometimes, to make sure everything is fine. And gets back to his room again and locks himself inside. He has done it a few times, despite the fact he is feeling so tired and sleepy. He forces himself to stay awake no matter how bad he needs to sleep. And then... “Drrrtt! Drrrtt!!” His phone is vibrating in silent mode. The room is already illuminated by the light from outside, while Victor is sleeping right behind the door. He tries to reach for his phone in half awake. ♫♫ Tuut
She just stands there, across the pharmacy shop where she should be working. She feels somewhat reluctant to get back working there, since the shop is still owned by Lucas’s family. “Emma?!” one of her coworkers greets her from behind. “Oh? Hi, Stephanie!” Emma replies. “They said you are no longer working with us. Did you get another job somewhere else?” “Ah, yeah!” Emma replies curtly with an unsure feeling. And then, her former coworker leaves her, telling that she doesn’t want to be late for work. Meanwhile, Emma is affirming herself to decline her intention to get back to work at the place. She looks at the keys she is holding for a moment. And then, she calls for the taxi, intending to get back to Victor’s house. Despite the fact they are no longer a married couple anymore, she still believes she has the right to live at that house. When she gets to that house, it turns out Mrs. Greta is still there taking care of her little garden. And so, that old lady next door greets
As they force getting in and standing behind Victor, the elevator gives an overload alarm. Now they start looking at each other, waiting for someone to get out of the elevator. But those two female employees, Abigail and Sarah, act so ignorant with what’s going on. “Hey, we are not going anywhere if there’s no one to leave the elevator,” says someone from the back. “Oh, nice! You have a better brain than the others. Why are you still here then?” replies Abigail. That guy doesn’t have the courage to answer, since his position in the company is lower than her. So are everyone else inside that elevator. None of them dare to reply to her word. However, none of them intends to leave the elevator either. Suddenly, Sarah secretly knocks Nancy’s elbow from behind, aiming to hit her ulnar nerve. “Aww!” Nancy has no choice but to let go of the document. She is shocked, feeling a kind of short circuit electric current on her elbow. Those documents scatter on the floor, right at the elevato
But Nancy is still looking so reluctant. After all, she has something she needs to do with the documents she is currently holding. “I’d like to help you to get there. But I have to deliver this document to my supervisor. He needs these documents since he is going to attend the meeting too,” she declines politely. “So, why don’t you just take them to the meeting room and meet with him there?” “No, I’m afraid he is going to yell at me there.” “It’s okay, I’ll try to explain your situation to your supervisor later,” Victor holds her hand and takes her with him to the elevator. Now Nancy is getting even more timid. She is so sure that Victor is having a higher position than her supervisor, considering how confident he is in promising that he can explain everything to her supervisor. “Um, why don’t you just follow me to take this document first to my supervisor, and then you can go with him later to the meeting,” she suggests. “Oh, okay then!” He then follows Nancy to deliver the do
Meanwhile, the meeting room is a bit frenzied, since they’ve been waiting quite long enough. Especially Oliver, who becomes impatient because Nancy hasn’t delivered the documents he asked. He already knows that his new boss is his former colleague in college. But he has left a bad impression since his first meeting with Victor at the restroom yesterday. He couldn't afford any risk to leave another bad impression in front of his new boss two days in a row. He starts to be so awry, that even one wrong move would end up in his resignation. After all, he has heard about the resignation of some executives right after Victor’s appointment as the new President. “That damn useless timid girl. What takes her so long?” he grumbles. His awry face catches Abigail’s attention, his superior who happens to be sitting beside him. Of course, she knows what’s in Oliver’s mind, because she is the one who held Nancy down before at the elevator. But somehow, she just plays ignorant on Oliver. “Are yo
