Chapter 1

"Isn't she a haughty woman?"

"Right, it's been said that she doesn't like boys."

"Her mother was a prostitute who lived among wealthy merchants and was eventually married."

"How did you know?"

“My friend told me and my friend knew she was once put to bed by a classmate and her vulgar photos have spread all over the internet.”

"Isn't that an edit? Everyone knows it's edited."

"Who cares, it's edited or not. If it's true that means…” said another but, his words stopped when Claretta came to them.

Claretta, who was listening to the conversation of a group of men there, pounded the table with the file she brought with her.

“Being in such a great company is a dream for everyone. You come in and work here because your rotten mouth only has the same rotten people as you. If you still want to work long hours here, then do your job because if you don't, then your brain has been edited out." said Claretta loudly for the other employees to hear.

After saying that, Claretta went to another division where there were only female employees, the idea of ​​segregation of workplaces was her idea. Claretta thought it was more efficient and Claretta preferred to hang out with them. 

Claretta headed for a girl she had never seen before.

"What's your name?" asked Claretta as she walked over to the girl.

The girl who was sitting doing her work suddenly stood up when she heard someone talking to her.

"I... I'm Mia." she said as she stood up hastily.

Claretta just smiled, taking some files from another employee. Claretta watched in surprise, many of them were busy playing on their cell phones rather than busy doing their work in front of the computer.

"What are you doing?" asked Claretta curiously.

Several people started to gather around him and show them their electronic novels.

"Look at this!" suddenly a cell phone pointed at Claretta's face. 

For a moment, Claretta saw the title of the novel 'Knight and 4 Ultimate'. Claretta skimmed the title of the online novel and Claretta felt dizzy at their behavior.

"You're only running out of time on this?" Claritta sighed.

"Don't you know? They are handsome and very cool fictional characters. Moreover, the main character of the knight in the story.” The other said that his eyes were like being hit by love arrows.

"This novel tells the story of someone who is incarnated in the novel and becomes the main character, namely the Knight,"

"What's so interesting about the novel?" asked Claretta, still not understanding their excessive interest.

“Reincarnation anyway? What the hell is that? Just a superstitious story that has no basis at all." objected Claretta.

“We love reading this because we hope to be reincarnated like the female lead. Imagine being surrounded by 5 handsome, rich, powerful and powerful men." Hyein replied with a red ribbon tied on a light blue shirt with tied hair.

"Harem?" said one of the other employees out of nowhere.

Suddenly all the employees who listened to the laughter of women's nature also wanted to be adored and surrounded by cool handsome men. Meanwhile, Claretta felt goosebumps hearing unreasonable narratives, but on the other hand, seeing their behavior made Claretta happy too.

Home from work.

Claretta was cleaning up work she remembered promising to call her mother to ask how she was and to go visit. The elevator stopped and Claretta was on the phone.

"Hello, Mother? How are you?"

"Have you returned home?"

“I just got out of work and will be visitting.” she answered.

"Your father and siblings didn't come to the house, so there's no need to worry after all, you still have work tomorrow."

"Okay mom, later I will send money to Mom at home." while trying to hold his breath. 

Hearing her mother's voice, Claretta felt relieved.

"Yes thank you. Don't forget your needs are there too." answered Claretta's mother.

“Yes Mom, I am lucky to be able to work in a good place and thank you for always being there to accompany me.”

"Mother should be the one thanking you because you were born into my mother's child, and my best friend."

Immediately Claretta wiped her tears and their conversation ended with a loving farewell from a mother to her daughter. 

To relieve the sadness that befell her, Claretta goes to a restaurant owned by a friend she once helped because of a theft and insurance case that was almost taken away by an unknown person. Claretta intends to go to Kareen and stop a taxi to go to her restaurant.

Even Claretta went out after enjoying Kareen's chicken restaurant. While at the restaurant, Kareen always persuaded Claretta to read a novel like what happened in her office this morning. After yielding to her request, Claretta finally read the novel. 

Claretta walked to the cashier where Kareen's mother was on duty guarding the table.

"Good evening, how much is all Auntie?" asked Claretta as she prepared to issue a payment application via cell phone.

"Claretta. Long time, no see? How's your mother doing?" asked Kareen's mother, wiping her greasy hands with a rag.

“Mother, all right,” answered Claretta

"No need, it's a treat from us."

"No, I want to pay for it, Auntie." she said.

"It's okay, next time you take your mother you can pay for it," she replied with a smile.

“Thank you very much, Auntie. Hopefully the restaurant will run smoothly and will be busy with visitors.”

"You're welcome."

Claretta left the restaurant, the apartment and the restaurant were only about 10 minutes walk away. 

Claretta was drunk, desperately trying to walk to her apartment. Claretta didn't realize that about 5 minutes ago someone had been following her from across the street. Take a gap and continue to follow it. 

JLEB!! SRAT!! The sound was heard when Claretta had been stabbed by a strange person using a hat and jacket. Seeing Claretta who was still standing, the man wanted to stab her again. Claretta saw the movement of the man preparing to take the long weapon that Claretta always carried.

With all her strength, Claretta hit the person's head so hard that the hat he was wearing fell. Claretta saw a familiar face. He was the male employee who spread bad gossip about him. The man fell down, saw a stone nearby he immediately threw a stone and hit Claretta's head.

Claretta endured the pain, blood started pouring from her head and stomach and a drunk feeling that made her consciousness begin to blur. The man ran to see Claretta who had collapsed and was sure she had hit the fatal spot.

Claretta was alone in a lonely place. It reappeared in her mind that indeed men are not creatures to be pitied. 

Claretta is determined not to marry and wants to live with her mother.

The night wind was cold, the pain in the abdomen and head made it difficult to move. Claretta tried to open her cell phone to call the emergency number. 

Quick response, finally Claretta managed to call the hospital. People had gathered and an ambulance was approaching.

Claretta's vision began to blur, her breath began to feel heavy and cold.

The skin that felt the cold made Claretta open her eyes immediately. 

Claretta woke up with a strange ceiling, looking luxurious and big gypsum. There was a large decorative lamp, a sky pattern of bare-chested little angels. Claretta was surprised and opened the blanket she was wearing.

Fingering the stomach that was pierced last night. It doesn't feel like anything. Claretta jumped out of bed. Feeling unfamiliar with things around. Has the hospital's taste changed? Love the classic style with old ornaments! Claretta looked at the flowers in the vase.

Claretta ran and shouted out of the room. It turned out that there was a middle-aged man blocking him. Her hatred of men emerged, Claretta ran and pushed the man, only visible were large rooms with antique carvings, strange paintings and statues of half bodies.

"Master, where are you going?" someone said to him.
