When Victor has just entered his office, Viona is already waiting for him there. Victor only sees her back, with Viona standing with her arms crossed over her chest while facing toward the glass facade of the office. She is aware of someone coming into the office. But Viona keeps silent there, watching the outside view from that 23rd floor. “Viona? Are you waiting for me?” asks Victor. “Nope! I just like the view here,” Viona replies curtly. “Oh? Is that so?” Victor lets her be, and has a seat in front of his desk. He begins to busy himself studying all the documents that had been prepared by Nancy before. Until Viona steals his attention by bringing up his dispute with Emma. “When are you going to clear your issue with your ex-wife?” she asks. “What issue?” Victor replies nonchalantly. Viona’s brows are twitched slightly. But she keeps her composure and tries to treat him as cold as possible. “Isn’t she arguing about the marital settlement?” Viona replies. “Yeah, that’s wha
He rushly opens the door, thinking that the house is entered by other thieves. But no. He only finds Mrs. Greta in the living room, having tea with Emma. The eyes of those two ladies are now on him, while he is looking so out of place with an awry face. “Hi, Victor. Getting back from work?” Mrs. Greta greets him. “Oh? Hi, Mrs. Greta!” he greets back by trying to hide his confusion. He is so curious what Emma’s doing in the house. But Emma just plays ignorant and takes a sip of the tea, not even showing her face toward Victor. And then, Mrs. Greta says her goodbye to Emma to return to her house. “Thank you for the tea, Emma,” she says. Emma only replies with a nod and a light smile. She keeps forcing the tip of her lip to touch the surface of the tea, even though she doesn’t take any sip right now. Seeing Mrs. Greta is taking her leave right after his coming, makes Victor a bit awry whether his coming has disturbed her. “Um, Mrs. Greta! Why are you leaving? Please, don’t let me
At the moment, that lawyer named Elijah Miller has just finished his talk with Lucas through the phone, regarding him to defend Emma for her legal dispute with Victor. Lucas isn’t reluctant to accept the high price demanded by Miller, knowing that he is going to get millions of dollars from Victor. He just accepts the demand through the phone, while he is busy with his ex-girl friend. [Let's have a meeting later. Don’t forget, you need to bring that girl named Emma with you too] “Sure!” [How about this Saturday?] “Saturday? I think I can spare my time for the meeting. I’ll tell her about this.” As he finishes that conversation, Lucas sends a message to Emma. Just a short message without having any interest to call her. Because he is too occupied with his date with that new famous star, Lucida Cameron a.k.a. Lucy. You see, they both have some kind of similar name. In the past, Lucy often brought up this topic every time she wanted to talk about her relationship with Lucas. At lea
Emma looks a bit doubtful, but she really needs it. After all, it’s only a short term job for her emergency before she finishes her issue with Victor. “Yeah, I’d like to apply myself for the job. But I didn’t bring my resume and document at the moment,” says Emma. “Don’t need for that. It’s just a part-time job. As long as you don't get drunk and create a ruckus like before. Do you like to get to work immediately? I could just teach you a thing or two before letting you handle everything tomorrow,” emplains that man. Emma nods with an unsure feeling. But that man immediately averts his attention away, to the other bartender at the other end of the bar. “Hey, Rodeo! Take it from me for a while. I need to teach this new employee,” says that man to the other bartender. He then tells Emma to keep following him to the drive thru section. “What’s your name?” he asks. “It’s Emma, Sir!” “You don’t need to be so formal. My name is Robert, and you don’t have to call me Sir or Boss. I’m i
It makes Emma so petrified. Indeed, she tried to do something to the girl. But she never expected it would be that serious. She becomes panicked as all the eyes are now on her. “Emma, what is this? Did you really do something to our customer?” asks Robert, the owner of the bar. Luckily, the other one of that girl’s friends is coming. She halts her, preventing her from calling the police. “Hey, calm down! They said Anne must have an allergy to something on the food. We can’t just blame them yet without knowing anything about Anne’s allergies.” Hearing that word, the owner believes that it’s not Emma’s mistake, since she is just an operator, while the food was served by another employee in the kitchen. “Emma, what did that girl order?” asks Robert. “A taco, the spicy one,” Emma answers with full guilt. The bar owner doesn’t find anything weird with the order, since it’s not that rare for people asking for a spicy taco. “Did the girl mention something about her allergies?” he asks
But that man named Marco is still not believing it. “There’s no way he is just a driver. Whether we find out about him, or about the one who attacked you before, we are not going to leave from here.” “Seriously? What if we can’t get anything? It will be forever, Man!” And suddenly... “Crassh!” A side-view mirror on the right side has just been hit by something. Those three people cover their head by reflect due to their shock. It’s not clear what the cause, but they are afraid of someone might trying to shoot them from somewhere. “What was that?” asks Chappy in a whisper. That man named Marco takes a risk to observe the condition. But he finds nothing. After all, he only takes a peek by rising his head only slightly, not wanting his head to be a target. “Do you see anything?” asks Bob. But Marco doesn’t give any answer. He tries to look at the side-view mirror so carefully. Most of that mirror is no longer there, has already broken apart by whatever that has hit it. Their surr
Instead of getting into the car, Victor takes his head aback, looking so reluctant to drive that car. After all, he is still not understanding about what Viona said to him that the car is his car. But then, Martin approaches him, trying to take a look at Viona who is in the car. Of course, Martin knows about Viona, even though he is not that close with her. The truth is, Martin was one of those people Viona intended to hire to replace some of the officials who left Counterbrand. “Is that your boss?” asks Martin in a whisper. Victor turns, and looks a bit unsure with Martin’s question. “That lady inside the car! Is that your boss?” he whispers in Victor’s ear. “Her?! Oh, yeah. She is Mrs. Viona. My new boss,” replies Victor. Martin is a bit unsure to greet Viona, since Viona puts a cold face inside the car, as if she doesn’t recognize him. After all, he has declined Viona’s offer before. Martin hopes that Viona will turn her face toward him, so that he can say “Hi!” to her. But
He is indeed knowing nothing about Victor’s real identity, beside what he knows about him as a delivery man. His initial motive to tell these people about Victor was only to have them rob Victor, or maybe scaring him to death after that.“Please, I’m begging for your mercy! I just wanted to teach that kid a lesson, and let your men have some fun with whatever they would do to him,” Benigno pleads in his cries.Marco is getting impatient, and cocks the gun, seeming to shoot that fat man to death. But one of his friends immediately halts him coldly.“Hold down, Marco! Come with me for a sec!” he issues.And so, Marco follows that man to the other room inside that pizza shop. By the look of how Marco behaves in front of him, it seems like this man has higher position than him in the family.“What is it, Gambino?” asks Marco.“I think he is telling the truth to us. He has been with us for years. After all, what would he get from this? Nothing!” That Gambino guy with a low and hoarse voice
