Meanwhile, Laura, who was also on the run, struggled with the search team led by Mr. Ben.A black car appeared on the street and tried to break through the traffic jam. Inside, a ponytailed Laura, dressed in a bright black blouse, was terrified. Her heart was pounding as a train passed in front of her.She couldn't wait to get away from this place. This place had become a scourge for her, not only because of being chased by several people but also because of an incident that dragged her name as a suspect.The girl's eyes occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror, hoping that a car that looked like a fairly large van was not following her. She was relieved when she didn't see the car in the mirror.But when the train passed, the girl named Laura didn't want to waste any time. She stepped on the accelerator as hard as possible and drove through the streets leading to the port.She ignored the street children cleaning her car with their duster, the vendors offering unique toys, the beg
Just as they had expected. The black car pulled into the harbor. As they had planned, as soon as Laura was on the deck, Evan and David ran to the car and knocked on Laura's window.Laura didn't move. She took a breath and let it out roughly. Her plan to escape failed as she was caught by the men of her company. But Laura needed ideas.Her eyes scanned the area again. Laura was deliberately buying time so that she could run free without being caught. Then she smiled mischievously. Suddenly, she had an idea of how to escape. She opened the window."Hey, you! Excuse me, can I open my door? I hope you can walk a little behind or in front of me. Can you?"David complied. He immediately stepped forward and let her open the door. Once the door was open, Laura quickly ran past the cars that were starting to park in the lot. Meanwhile, David picked up his HT and reported that the target was about to escape.The men immediately gathered. They split up when they saw Laura already in the middle o
Meanwhile, Mark and Aileen returned to Mark's apartment. They plopped down on the long sofa in the front room where no one but Aileen had ever sat."Oh my! This is so hard to handle! If I were Mrs. Liana--""No way! You can't say that without actually being her." Mark cut off Aileen's naive words."Laura always thinks that way. She's so sure that if she does this, she'll do that. Ish, but it's not necessarily the case that if she experienced it herself, she would be able to behave the way she talks about!"Aileen, feeling cornered, made a face."Geez, why don't you just listen to me? You're just blaming me for being human! Ish!""What the hell? Am I wrong? That's the truth!""Yes, but there's no need to clarify it either. I didn't mean what I said either," Aileen said defensively."Well, admit it, right! If you didn't mean it, why did you say it? You're forcing me to listen anyway! It's better if what you hear are facts. This is just a baseless characterization!" Mark continued to acc
The night was falling. The sky was reddened with darkness, and the clouds were hanging as if they were about to rain down on the earth. The fan sounded even louder in a room that was just a little smaller. But that didn't stop Laura from falling asleep in her dreams.Her body felt so tired after a long day of avoiding the pursuit of big men. Her eyes were so sleepy that she could not keep them open.During her exhaustion, she dreamed that the men had captured her and taken her to a dark torture chamber. There, she was tied to a chair with a rope, and the men began to surround and abuse her.Laura screamed that night, broke out in a cold sweat, and was very frightened. Soon, Laura woke up. Her mother, who had helped her, was hugging her."Did you have a nightmare, child?""Yes, Mom.""Be patient, child."The kind, fairy-like mother took a glass and filled it with water. A moment later, she handed it to Laura."Drink first, child. Tell me about your dream and what you're afraid of."Lau
The atmosphere of The Plaza was becoming increasingly crowded with shoppers, most of whom were Laura. The sounds of people haggling over prices, the mix of pop music, and the voices of several vendors passing by and offering their wares made the place even more crowded.Three men who hadn't finished their glass of iced tea were forced to chase after the girl wearing a green shirt and black and white striped pants. They left the iced tea with the vendor and resumed their pursuit.Realizing she was being chased, Laura immediately sought a safe hiding place. She finally found a hidden wall that the clothing vendors used to come and go. From there, Laura could walk slowly toward the exit to escape.Sure enough, as soon as a man was lifting heavy objects, Laura hid behind him and walked with him, unseen by Mr. Ben's team. Laura made it safely to the exit.However, her body immediately froze, and her eyes bulged slightly when she realized someone in the car was looking at her. They were now
So here Laura was in an air-conditioned room with a flat-screen TV on the wall and a soft bed where she had slept for the past two nights.But even though she had been there for two nights, she did not feel at peace. She kept hearing Ms Zhang Laren's words about turning herself in to the authorities, but Laura still couldn't accept it.Every time she thought about it, she was overwhelmed with indecision and anxiety. She took a deep breath, then tried to steady herself. Massaging her temples, she said, "It's going to be okay, Laura. It's going to be okay."Laura rose from her sleep. She wanted to report to the police. But just as she was about to make the call, doubt came over her again. After thinking for a while, Laura called an online motorcycle taxi to take her to the police station.On the way, Laura mostly daydreamed and thought about the possibilities. She felt terrible, but she tried to force herself.It took only fifteen minutes for Laura to arrive at the police station. She s
"It's done, sir! We have a report that Laura has turned herself into the police," Mr Ben told Mark on his cell phone.He preferred to communicate with Mark because he could discuss things with him. Not Lucas, who could only give orders without understanding the difficulties and challenges his men were facing."Very good, Mr. Ben. You and your team should go home and get some rest. Everything is clear. We're just pressing Mr. Mrs. Leigner now." Mark gave his order.The call was then disconnected. Instead, Mark sent a short message to Lucas, informing him of the latest developments in Laura's arrest.Aileen, who had been watching Mark's movements, was pleased."So that leaves a couple who look like accomplices, huh?" she asked.At home, they were busy preparing dinner. Aileen and Mark cooked together to maintain harmony between the host and guests.Aileen thought earlier that it's a shame they're already out shopping for ingredients. But she wanted to be alone with Mark. She had the fee
Aileen's heart still pounded as she entered the room and fell onto the bed. Truly, she cursed her stupidity, and she almost wanted to be kissed by Mark just like that! Ish!Where was her logic? Where was her pride? Why did she seem to welcome it instead of refusing before? Shit! Aileen continued to curse herself.True, the kiss was cut off. But the incident was enough to embarrass her."What's wrong with Mark coming over and trying to rub it in? You pervert!" she cursed over and over.She fell asleep that night without realizing it. And in her dreams, Aileen felt like someone was chasing her. She was the one who had been chasing the company's criminals for the past few days. Absurd indeed.The next morning, she was embarrassed again when Mark knocked on her door and woke Aileen, who had overslept. Oh dear! How embarrassing!"Yeah, just a minute, I'm in the bathroom!" Aileen replied casually. If only Mark had heard her voice, he would have known that Aileen was still in bed and had jus
