And so, Jimmy serves the coffees to them. After that, he is leaning his butt a little on the table, and starts talking to invite their attention toward him. “I know you are Viona Emery, the vice president of Counterbrand for human resources. There’s no need for me to hide about myself in front of someone like you. So, have you finished your observation about me?” he asks confidently.

The more Victor shows his awry face, the more that man becomes so sure that Victor is really a thief. In his mind, Victor’s fear is something like a thief’s fear after getting caught.“There’s no way a thief would admit he is a thief?” says someone from the crowd.“What kind of logic is that? Even those who are not thieves, wouldn’t want to admit themselves as thieves?” argues Victor to that one who accused him just now.“You are really so good at denying, huh! I bet you have practiced this everyday,” says that man named Andrew, still holding Victor’s collar.“I’m telling you, I didn’t try to steal her bag!”“Yeah, right! Just tell that to the police later. But right now, I need to…”Suddenly, an old man hits that man’s back with a stick, right before that man intends to hit Victor.“He is telling the truth! You and your woman should thank him.

His face looks so refreshed at the moment.Only then Viona realizes what Victor has done in the auction hall.“Damn! You really had gone that far, huh?!

In the end, they don’t know for sure whether that car was really following them or not. But Victor feels so grateful for that old taxi driver’s concern regarding his safety. And so, Victor pays the taxi, not only double, but triple.
