Nicolas drove his vehicle out of the basement of his office building. The CEO was not driven this time by Lucas, the personal driver he had recently hired. The man was on leave today because he wanted to accompany his mother to surgery. It sounded familiar, accompanying Mom to surgery, but Nicolas wasn't sure where he had heard of it.The man stopped his car at a red light, occasionally whistling as he watched the countdown on the Traffic Lights that was less than thirty seconds away.While he waited, Nicolas called Dianne while wearing the air pods he had taken from the dashboard of his car.[Dianne Rosallee:] "Yes, Nicolas?"Dianne's voice was heard on the other side."Have you arrived at your part-time café?" asked Nicolas.[Dianne Rosallee:] "Yes, as always. What's going on?""I'll be at your place when I get back from my therapist's office," Nicolas said, stepping on the gas as the traffic light turned from red to green.For a long time, there was an answer from the other side. I
Nicolas drove his car down the street of St. Goreds where the café where Dianne was currently working part-time was located.About two hours of counseling sessions with Doctor Louise was enough to make him feel more relaxed and accept the fact that he could not force his past memories back. Nicolas followed several series of therapies that only Doctor Louise could do, throughout the session, Nicolas only squinted and answered several questions asked by Doctor Louise truthfully.After the therapy and counseling session, as planned Nicolas went straight to where Dianne worked part time. He glanced at the clock on his phone's lock screen which showed eight o'clock in the evening."Well, Dianne should be done working by now since her shift is only until eight in the evening," Nicolas muttered to himself in his car, waiting at the crossroads because Dianne told him to wait there because she didn't want to make the coffee shop owner feel uncomfortable about the presence of a famous CEO like
Nicolas tilted his head. "Oh yeah? Did I used to hate greasy food?" he asked, parroting Dianne's words."Yeah, you hate that so much. You know, you used to be a real foodie. I really struggled every morning to make your breakfast," Dianne babbled, reminding the girl of how problematic her work life was when she was Nicolas' intern secretary."Every morning, I have to run around to buy coffee at your favorite coffee shop, which is quite a distance from the office but would be a pain to take a taxi. Not to mention that the subway bun you want is in the opposite direction of your favorite coffee shop," Dianne joked. "After all that, I have to get to the office before you do and I have to prepare tons of meeting drafts and such!"Dianne's chest rose and fell as the girl described the entire series of her ordeals while Nicolas was still the CEO who was cruel to her.Nicolas again couldn't help but smack his lips, either feeling guilty for Dianne because he had treated her so unkindly in th
Dianne styled her hair which was quite difficult for her to deal with today. "Ah, should I just get a haircut, huh?" she muttered to herself while looking at her appearance in front of her dressing table.Over the past few weeks, Dianne has also noticed that her hair is falling out more and more. "My hair is getting unhealthier by the day," she says, curling her lips downward. "My hair is dry, split, and the scalp is often flaky.""Maybe I'll just go to the salon after I get home from work," the girl said again. It just so happened that today there was no shift scheduled for her to work at the café. She could use the time after work to go to the salon.The girl got up from her dressing table after tying her hair and tucking two hair clips on either side of her head. Dianne now looked beautiful and elegant after her dusty pink suit today."I feel like a Barbie," she chuckled looking at herself in the mirror. This was the outfit that Nicolas had gifted her, at the same time that they we
Dianne was shocked again when she received another email from a stranger with news of her mother's death caused by Nicolas.[Email form unknown]: Your mother was really killed by Nicolas, if you don't believe me, I'll give you the proof!Dianne shook her head quickly, really, this was the third or maybe the fourth time she got an email about her mother. Dianne was sure it must be the same person, even though she had blocked the previous emails, but still, the anonymous sender could send Dianne another email address."Damn it! Why should I trust people like him!" Dianne cursed in annoyance. This email was enough to ruin her mood this afternoon, even though she had a lot of hard work to do all day.Dianne glanced at Nicolas towards the glass window of her room, the two of them were only separated by a glass wall so that both Dianne and Nicolas could easily glance at each other even though they were in different rooms."No way, Dianne," the girl muttered to herself. "There's no way Nicol
"Too bad, it looks like we're not going to the Japanese restaurant," Nicolas said as the man wanted to part with Dianne at the elevator door.He had to save time by eating at the cafeteria and then returning to his office to follow up on some complaints and reports from his subordinates.Dianne nodded with a smile, she certainly understood Nicolas' condition and this was a common occurrence. "It's okay, dear. We can go to a Japanese restaurant next time. Or would you like me to bring you some food from outside?" Dianne offered.Nicolas shook his head. "No, I don't want you to rush through your lunch just to come back to the office and bring me food. I can ask the intern secretary to bring me food from the company cafeteria," Nicolas said."All right then. See you at the office after lunch, Nicolas," Dianne said as she walked into the elevator. Nicolas waved and let the elevator doors close completely, making Dianne's face disappear from his sight.Dianne waited for a while until the e
Dianne's frustration continued when the girl arrived at the company even so her eyes remained anxious to see someone following her.Upon entering the main lobby of the Buenos Aires solar company, the girl became a little more relieved because she thought the terrorist would not be able to get into this building because it was certain that strangers would be stopped by security if they wanted to enter this company area without permission or necessity.Dianne .stepped into the elevator after waiting for about 2 minutes finally the girl was now at her desk. There were so many reports that she had to check and resume but her mind was still thinking about that damn terrorist."Ah shit, I can't work without focus," Dianne grumbled to herself.That afternoon Dianne had just turned off her computer, she rearranged her desk and put her cell phone and other important things into her sling bag. The girl looked at the wall clock which showed 0500 PM.She walked towards the door of Nicholas' room,
Nicolas woke up, his eyesight initially looking blurry, and hazy, and the man had difficulty in seeing what was around him. He blinked his eyes so that his pupils could adjust to the bright light in front of him."Oh my, why is it so bright? Where is it?" Nicolas rubbed his eyes and blinked until finally, his nerves began to adjust.Nicolas was shocked, the man now felt like he was in an all-white world. It felt like he was on a bright, white cloud. Nicolas even felt cold and hot at the same time in his senses.Nicolas recalled the last time he felt a tremendous headache, and dizziness, and then fell down in his office. Then, why was he here right now?"Is this my subconscious?" muttered Nicolas to himself, looking around the empty world. "Yes, this is definitely a part of my mind. But... why is this happening?"Of course, Nicolas was well aware that what he was experiencing now was not the real world, he firmly believed that he was now waking up in his mind.Soon, a large light appea
