Mia looks so confused. She believes that she is going to be a great help for the police. But now, they treat her like someone guilty. She really doesn’t understand how it will lead her into trouble. “Trouble how?” she asks cluelessly. She looks at them with a cringed expression. But they both just smile with an underestimating gesture, as if they are only dealing with a kid. “Like, trying to complicate the job of the police by coming and messing up our investigation. Maybe?” says Officer Morgan before raising his shoulder a bit. “I don’t know, Mam. I believe you really need to come with me to make things clear between us. Rest assured, you will not be wronged here,” says Frank. “Or else, with the way you behave now, it could just lead us to suspecting you, like you are trying to lead us into something, fishy?” Officer Morgan adds. “What?” Mia mumbles with a confused face. “You see. Some criminals often do this to avoid the suspicion by averting the police’s attention to somethi
Mia doesn’t head directly to Benigno’s pizza shop. It’s already late afternoon, and she hasn’t found a new place to stay. She really doesn’t want to stay the night at her friend’s house again, when that friend is actually still living with her family.She really needs to find one before the dark, an affordable one. But that’s the problem. Looking for an affordable one for her who is just a pizza shop waiter.It won’t be like how she stayed with Judy, when they could split the payment together. The longer she looks for a new place, the more she realizes Judy’s value in her life.After all, she doesn’t hate Judy that much. She really can’t hate that cheerful girl like Judy. She just couldn't stand the possibility that Victor might date her.Now, she is already reaching that neighborhood, only two blocks away from
Mike, just like what he said, he is really going to be the driver for the day. But still, he looks so pissed off that Victor decides to sit on the back just like a real boss. He can’t help it, since he also takes Judy with him.He even hates Judeo, as the one who gave the idea to Victor to also take Judy with him to attend Andrew Wilson’s wedding party.“Are you sure you are going to take her like that?” asks Mike, talking about Judy's casual outfit that really doesn’t match up with what Victor is wearing.“Look who's talking now?” replies Victor with a silly face, looking at Mike who is still looking like a thug with his skinny jacket.“I don’t plan to join you tothatwedding party. I’m just a driver and I will stay in the car,” replies Mike curtly.Victor shakes his head w
But unlike Victor and Judy, Mia doesn’t see them there, despite the fact that she has suspected that the Rolls-Royce might be Victor’s car.“Judy! Is there something that I don't know, but I need to know?” asks Victor.“About them? I don’t know either. Actually, Mia and I are not living together anymore. She moved out recently.”“Did something happen?”“About that…”Judy finds it hard to explain to Victor. There’s no way she is going to just tell all the bad things that Mia said about him. And so, she just tries to come up with a lie to cover that story.“You see, I’ve been jobless for some time, and…”“Damn! She leaves you just because you have been jobless for only two weeks?”
Mia looks so confused. But she doesn’t voice her confusion at all. And Lucas immediately takes her away, whispering to her that Viona is just a weird woman who likes to put on a dry joke.Victor is a bit concerned that Mia is now with Lucas. But he isn’t so sure if he can say something to her now. He knows that Mia will never listen to him.After those two walk away a bit further, only then does Viona start talking to Victor. “So, a new girlfriend?” she asks.“No, no!” Judy denies immediately. “I’m coming with Victor only as a personal assistant.”After that, Judy introduces herself to Viona, knowing that Viona is one of the top executives in Counterbrand.“So, you are the girl with the name Judy? Sorry, Victor always asked me to provide a job for you. But our company is really not in need of new
He happens to run at Mike once. But Mike just stares at him coldly without saying anything. And Leonard also glares back at Mike with a mad face.After getting in the car, he is still silent there pondering with some serious thoughts. He begins to think, whether he should just quit the job with Counterbrand or not.But it’s not an easy decision for him to make. Simply quitting the job only after a mere few weeks, will only leave a bad impression on his CV.There’s a high risk that he will find it hard to get another job. And it’s not like Counterbrand will just accept his resignation that easily. He hasn’t been with them for a month, there’s no way he can just resign now.He had always believed that Counterbrand won’t keep someone like Victor for long as the president. He has been waiting for a chance that the company would kick Victor, whic
He asks Jimmy to stay there to accompany his wife and daughter, while he goes to take Victor and the others into the main house to meet Andrew Wilson. Eventually, that wedding party is in two locations with two different themes. At the park, they hold an outdoor event with a musical band performance. Meanwhile, the married couple are both inside the main house. Most of the guests inside there are high-class important figures who have great stature in town. Some of them sit together at round tables. While a few of them just stand in groups while having a dialogue by holding a glass of drink. Victor finds a few familiar faces. They are the people who happened to have a short dialogue with him after the bidding war in the auction. While Albert Wilson himself is nowhere to be found. Believing it as a good opportunity, Gambino immediately tells Victor to go directly to meet Andrew and his partner, Natalie. Andrew also notices Victor and immediately raises his hand. “Oh, it seems like
Some guests, especially those who also attended that auction thatday, are now also joining the bandwagon. A few of them even flip a dollar bill to a coin and throw it at Victor. Some ladies also start busy rummaging their purse to find some coins so that they can join too.But suddenly, they stop and turn quiet when they see Judy naively collecting those coins. Viona is startled with what she is doing. And Victor, he just closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.Those people are silent for a moment. Only for a moment, until their laughter bursting out all together, creating a little commotion inside that room.“Look at that! She is really collecting those coins?”“Seems like Counterbrand has really gone bankrupt!”“Here, I still have some more!”Maybe, Victor is the only one who und
