Richard was sitting in his office, his eyes staring out the window at the people passing by under his office building. His mind drifted to a woman who suddenly came to his office and offered an illicit item. Richard wasn't stupid. Even though he didn't know the woman, he knew she must be working for someone from the dark world. Richard was fed up with having to pretend to run a company that he thought was very monotonous and not very profitable, unlike his business in the dark world, where profits didn't have to be reduced by disproportionate costs."Chansu, do you remember the name of the blonde woman who suddenly came to my office yesterday?"Chansu which is Richard's confidant, nodded his head. Richard was the worst when remembering someone's name, especially if it was the first time that person had met him. Because of that, he always asked Chansu to remember everyone who met Richard."Adele. The woman's name is Adele," explained Chansu."The Information about her?" asked Richard a
Adele's real motive (Flashback)Jasmine was walking in a hurry, grocery bags filling her hands. Now and then she glanced at the watch that was wrapped around her left wrist. Jasmine was going to cook for a small dinner party, today she was finally able to get together with her little family and have dinner together, this probably wouldn't have happened if Adele hadn’t loaned her the money. This party was also to express her gratitude to Adele and as a banquet because they had not seen each other for a long time. However, Jasmine was still curious about what Adele wanted to talk about.When Jasmine arrived at her apartment, she was immediately greeted with a warm hug by her daughter, Anna. Anna still wasn't feeling well, and it was already her third day without school."Where is Dad? why he haven't come home yet?"Jasmine smiled seeing her daughter's spoiled nature.''He will be home, soon. You just rest in your room, I will cook you porridge.”Anna nodded when she heard Jasmine's word
Richard reads the results of his Casino's financial statements. Now and then, his eyes glanced at Chansu from behind the paper he was reading. Chansu stood with his head down as if he didn't dare look into Richard's eyes."Explain it" said Richard in a cold tone.Richard placed the papers on his desk and folded his arms. His eyes were fixed on Richard."Why? You don't want to answer it?" Richard said again."Well, boss, umm profit this month.."Chansu looked nervous and couldn't get the words he would say properly. His eyes were busy looking here and there.''PRANGGG…''Richard threw the cigarette ashtray on his desk towards Chansu. Chansu shuddered in horror as the crystal ashtray nearly hit his head."Say something about it. Or I'll fuckin’ shoot you on the head"Richard stood up from his chair and pulled the small gun under his grey coat."No no Boss, Please don't.""Say it quickly."Richard pointed his gun right at Chansu’s head.''Gulp''Chansu swallowed his saliva. He was scared
Anna looked out of her window now and then during the last lesson. Her mind couldn't focus at all during the last lesson. Her eyes wandered around his classroom, and saw some of her classmates sleeping with books covering their faces. The boredom and the desire to get out of class quickly filled Anna's mind. Even though she still has to work after school,she enjoys it.''Kringgg….''The sound of the school bell freed Anna's mind. After the teacher left the classroom, Anna hurriedly also left the classroom. Anna is like her mother, a loner type, but she will show her true nature and be cheerful and talkative when meeting people who make her feel comfortable.As she walked towards the school gates, she saw a very familiar man standing. Anna quickened her pace and approached the man."Mark" called Anna.He turned around as soon as he heard his name being called. Anna was silent when she saw Mark's facial expression, which looked misserable, with cuts on the corners of his lips and bruise
Steve and Jasmine are standing in front of a casino that doesn't look too fancy. The two of them looked at each other before finally entering the Casino. They looked around the Casino area, which looked elegant and classy. Almost all those who came wore formal clothes such as suits and dresses. Classical music played by the Casino makes the atmosphere in the casino, calmer. The luxurious chandelier looks right in the middle of the high-roofed casino room. The combination of gold and black colours adds to the elegant impression of the Casino.Steve and Jasmine look different from the other guests. Because only those who wear clothes and shoes that are not formal. That made one of the people in charge of the Casino come to Steve and Jasmine and ask them about their real purpose."I want to meet SB" Steve said, he’s handing the black business card to a man with glasses and a black folder.The smooth-haired man looked at the business card carefully and nodded his head."This way, please."
Mark's POV “What do you want to eat, Mark?'' Anna asked me while we were at a fast food restaurant. I wasn't hungry and didn't want Anna to buy me food. "Don't want to eat?" she asked again. "She’s absolutely loves talking." '’The one who needs to be eaten, is my mother. Not me.'' Anna rolled her eyes lazily when I replied. ''Never mind, I'm too lazy to argue with you.'' As usual, she ignored my words and did as she pleased by ordering the food she liked. ''We'll just buy some fruits, for your mother'' she said slowly. I smiled upon hearing that. Although Anna is a person who likes to do what she wants, she has a kind and understanding nature. Even though we are 4 years apart in age, and I am already in college while Anna is still in high school, that does not become an obstacle to our friendship. After buying food, we went straight to the hospital. The place where my mother is being treated. Thank God my mother is okay and only has bruises on her arm, but I'm worried about
The long-awaited auction (Flashback) The night atmosphere in the city of Casablanca looks beautiful with the street lights that adorn the whole town. Seen several black luxury cars walking hand in hand through the streets of Casablanca. In one of the luxury cars, there is Richard, who is busy looking at his cell phone screen. He doesn't seem to listen to Chansu, who continues talking next to him. Richard's POV Tonight, The big auction I'd been waiting for for months finally happened. I've sacrificed my pride by obeying all the wishes of the Minister Serge, damn it to get those weapons out of the container at the port. And tonight, I'm going to show those guns up for auction. Tonight the atmosphere in Casablanca somehow looks very beautiful, unlike usual. Maybe it's because I'm happy or because William cooked me my favorite dish. I asked Chansu to play classical music, and it calmed my mind. While I was enjoying the music, the cell phone in my jacket pocket vibrated. I saw a message
Anna is having dinner with her parents in their small apartment. Her eyeslooked at her parents, who had been silent and didn't say a word since Anna came home."Anna, you don’t have to work from tomorrow, okay?" Jasmine said, she holding herdaughter's hand. Anna frowned, surprised by her mother, who suddenly asked her to stop working."I've said it many times, mom, I work because I want to." Anna tried to reassure her mother.“I know, you work because of our current shortage. But you don't have to worry about everything, now Mom and Dad have extra work. And the money from that extra job is way more than the salary at the police station.'' Steve also convinced Anna to quit her job.''What additional work do you and mom’s do?'' asked Anna.Steve and Jasmine glanced at each other."Um Mom and Dad is a personal bodyguard for important people." Steve explained to Anna, so his daughter wouldn't be suspicious of him and Jasmine."Oh, is that why dad’s hand injured?" Anna asked."You don't
"Good afternoon, sir."Mark was immediately greeted by the cell phone shopkeepers he visited today. He went straight to the shop window, which contained various kinds of cell phones that were deliberately displayed to attract the attention of the cell phone shop's visitors.Mark's handsome face caught the attention of the shopkeepers; his brown hair made his pale white skin appear more precise. Mark had to buy a new cell phone for his new cell phone number because the cell phone Chansu had thrown him away."I don't think it's enough to throw away your Sim card, but we must replace your cell phone with a new one."Mark sighed as soon as he remembered Chansu's words when they met a few days ago. And since that incident, Chansu has not contacted Mark at all."Have you made up your mind, sir?" Mark looked up and saw the direction of the standing shopkeeper in front of the display window."I'm a little confused, because all the new phones nowadays look really good." Mark smiled faintly at
SB carried out the task given by Richard to him carefully. SB, who knows a lot of people in the black market, can easily find people willing to help him find the actual owner of the bullets Richard entrusted to him.SB and some of his subordinates manage to find the manufacturer of bullets where the Mafia usually orders bullets with their initials. The Mafia Bosses do that to give a vital sign of power to the victims who have died from the bullets they fired. With more and more bullets lodged in the bodies of their victims, the Mafia felt more potent because they succeeded in killing the lives of Mafia Bosses or their subordinates and others with their own hands."So this is the place." SB was standing in a shoe shop that looked deserted."Ring."The doorbell rang when SB pushed the door of the shop, and when he and a few of his subordinates entered the shoe shop that looked old, there was no activity there. No one was seen guarding the shop."Let me see." SB walked to the counter and
As usual, Sean entered the Holo club and immediately set his sights on the stage where Anna usually sang. But this time, he didn't see Anna there. His forehead furrowed as he looked around the club area, but still didn't see Anna's whereabouts."' Is there anyone you will meet, sir?" Sean was surprised when the Bartender asked him about the problem.''Uh no…'' Sean shook his head and ordered his favorite drink as usual.The Bartender looked at Sean probingly. His eyes saw Sean's movements, who had been paying attention to the empty stage area with no entertainers."If you are looking for our singer, she is not working today.""Excuse me?"The Bartender took a deep breath and approached Sean."Our singer, will not appear today. Because for now, her job is not only to sing in this club, but she also has to do other things ordered by our Boss.""What makes you think that I'm looking for that woman?"''So I'm wrong, huh?''The Bartender chuckled and looked at Sean, who seemed oblivious to
"Your Boss is here." Chansu's cell phone was on the bar table when he visited SB's casino. He was too busy talking to several people who were also clients of Richard who were spending their time at the casino held by SB.SB chuckled when he deliberately took Chansu's cell phone and read the message from Mark that appeared on Chansu's screen cell phone. SB does not know whose number came into Chansu's cell phone and gives him information about Richard because it's impossible for Chansu to have a boss other than Richard."Well, who do you think you're texting right now?" SB glanced at Chansu, who was still busy talking to Richard's clients; SB then took his cell phone and took a photo of the unknown number that appeared on Chansu's screen phone."I'm not dumb.""If you don't want to tell me who owns this number, then I'll look for it by myself." SB glanced back in the direction of Chansu, who was done with his business and started walking towards the bar counter, where SB was sitting an
Chansu looked at the pile of suitcases in front of him at this time; he then turned his gaze to Richard, who was enjoying his breakfast."Boss, where are you going?"A thin smile appeared on Richard's face, and his eyes looked towards Chansu."I work too much, and I hardly ever rest.""And now it's time for me to enjoy some time to myself.""Excuse me?"Chansu could not believe what he heard at this time. Richard acted like he worked in an ordinary world and wanted to enjoy his time. Still, Chansu was worried whether his Boss had thought about the consequences if he had just left his position because Richard held a lot of business in the black market and his company in the ordinary world, which is still running today.Richard chuckled when he saw Chansu's facial expression, which seemed surprised by what he said."You don't need to be surprised. Isn't it normal to have time off and enjoy your own time?""I've forgotten when was the last time; I really enjoyed my own time, Chansu. I wa
Sean woke up with a headache that made him close his eyes repeatedly before finally opening them slowly. His eyes looked toward his room, and he lowered his gaze towards his clothes, which was his complete outfit when he went to the Holo Club."How can I go home?" Sean tried to get up from his bed and lower his feet off the bed."I can't go home by driving my own car." Sean seemed to think for a moment.''Drrtt….. Drrt….'' Sean reached into his suit pocket and took out his cell phone, the name of his secretary listed on the cellphone screen."Sir, why didn't you come to the office today?" Sean's secretary sounded panicked. Sean was still trying to process everything that happened to him even though his head was still throbbing and his vision was still blurry."What?" Sean only said one word to answer the call of his secretary, who sounded worried about her Boss, who had not yet come to the office."Sir, have you forgotten about the important meeting you have to attend today? Our clien
Mark checked some of the patient data he handled, and several times, he flipped through the paper containing the critical data. His two eyes focused on reading the developments that his patients had experienced. His hand remembered to write down a few sentences that he added on record to the patient to guide the nurses on duty. While focusing on his task, suddenly, his hand movements stopped, and his eyes seemed to wander off to last night's incident when he and Chansu met and talked to each other."And is this the attitude you've shown as long as we haven't seen each other for years, Chansu?"After Mark's last sentences, Chansu kept silent and did not respond to Mark's penalties. And that was the last conversation the two had at that time because Chansu immediately took his office bag and left the cafe where they met for the first time after years of not seeing each other."am I too harsh on him?" Mark leaned his body on the chair he was sitting on. He then took his cell phone inside
The atmosphere of the cafe looks lively, and some people can be heard laughing with their friends; on the corner, Of the cafe, two men are silent each other. But both of them seemed to greet each other through their respective eyes; the smile never left their faces. A waiter delivered the drink they had been waiting for to them. Neither of them wanted to open the conversation first because the nervousness and awkwardness that both of them were experiencing made their tongues go numb.Fifteen minutes had passed since two cups of coffee were served in front of them, and finally, one of them decided to speak first and broke the silence between the two."How are you, sir?" said the man, who was none other than Mark. He's looking at Chansu directly, who seems to pay attention to the area around the Café, before answering Mark's questions, the young man whose whereabouts he had hidden from Richard for years."I'm good, thanks." Chansu looked at Mark, full of emotion, as if he saw a younger
Richard saw that Chansu and Anna were standing in front of him. His eyebrows furrowed, and one of his fingers covered his nose."What is it, Boss?" Anna asked Richard about the attitude of someone who looks like someone held back smells. A mischievous smile appeared on her face; Anna enjoyed the expression that Richard was currently showing her."Nothing.'' He seemed to take a breath and inhale it again.Anna then walked towards the window near Richard's desk and opened it both. "Isn't it like this, much better, Boss?" Anna glanced at Richard, who seemed surprised by Anna's actions and knew that, at this time, he was holding his breath due to the smell emitting from Anna and Chansu's bodies.''You're right.'' Richard cleared his throat."From the smell you have smelled, we don't need to explain further what happened to your customer who ran away, Boss. " Anna handed over the letter she found from the customer. The letter had been sealed in plastic so that Richard would not need to sm
