"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
Nicolas held his head and realized he had been lying on the floor. The man got up with difficulty as his whole body was quite cramped at the moment. He dragged his feet to his desk and settled himself there.Nicolas now realized and remembered everything."How come?" he whispered in disbelief. Disbelief at the enormity of what he was only now remembering.Dianne, that girl had been lying to him all along."That girl is completely crazy!" swore Nicolas. Yes, this was Nicolas, the arrogant CEO who was back, along with his traits. All this time, he had only thought of Dianne as a lousy intern secretary whom he often demeaned for her poor performance."Then, because of this accident and amnesia, I foolishly trusted her!" Nicolas clenched his fists. "How could I believe anything that girl said. Fiancée? Damn it! Of all the lies why did she choose to claim to be my fiancé!"Nicolas gritted his teeth, the man got up after looking at the clock that showed seven o'clock in the evening. Nicolas
Dianne stared at the long, endless alleyway, one side of which was the high wall dividing the textile factory area on that cold night. She swallowed heavily, realizing that her actions were actually ridiculous."I'm here, so what?" she said to herself, continuing to pace faster and occasionally startled by the sound of a black cat emerging from behind a clattering trash can.The girl checked her phone, the email she had sent in reply to the terrorist had not been replied to. She tried calling the number that had sent her the photo earlier in the day, but it was not active either."Damn! Is he just a prankster trying to prank me!" cursed Dianne, even though she was quite serious because this was related to her late mother.Dianne took a deep breath, exhaling it so roughly that it caused smoke to come out of her mouth. "Well, I'd better go back home, let's just say I'm jogging at night to an area I've never been to.Dianne turned around, even though she had almost reached a turn that wo
"If you want my money, just tell me how much! You don't have to bother terrorizing me and framing me by bringing up my mother's death!" Dianne exclaimed in a tone that sounded like she was trying not to be scared. "You bastard! My mother is at peace!"The man chuckled from behind the pet top that blocked his face from the moonlight. He shook his head softly. "I don't need money from orphan girls like you," he snapped with both hands in his pants pockets."So, what, asshole?" asked Dianne again, hoping that someone would hear whomever it was and help her."Well, first let me tell you who I am." The man suddenly raised his hand and lowered his hat. "I am Anderson. The biological father of Nicolas."Dianne was quite surprised that the man would show his face, even mention his identity. She was also immediately surprised to see the man's face, which turned out to be old, even though his body shape looked like a young man who was only in his thirties figure."You must be making this up righ
"I'll do it! I'll do what you want!" Dianne squealed in between her choked breaths from Andreas' stranglehold on her neck.Andreas' grip on Dianne's neck slowly eased, giving the girl a chance to breathe a little normally, however, Andreas still hadn't completely let go of Dianne. He wanted to make sure she wasn't lying just to escape death."Are you sure? You're going to do what I say? Then what's the guarantee?" Andreas asked with bulging eyes. The reckless man did not hesitate to kill anyone who stood in his way."Didn't you say that you could have killed me or my brother because you knew where our house was? Isn't it obvious that I can only depend on you for my life and my brother's!" Dianne said with a gasp.Andreas smiled slyly. "You're smart too," he said with satisfaction. "But, have you figured out how to get a million dollars from Nicolas?""Can you let me go first?" pleaded Dianne who didn't like the position they were in, with one press Andreas could have stopped her breat
Dianne glanced at Nicolas as he was listening to the presentation of a finance unit team leader who was outlining the results of his analysis of their financial statements for the month.Since meeting him this morning, the man had not looked at Dianne at all, let alone spoken to her. This caused Dianne to wonder a little.'Nicolas' behavior since this morning has been strange,' Dianne thought, looking back at the presenter with a mind that was still thinking about the man's behavior today. 'Nicolas didn't even reply to my text last night.'After Dianne returned home from the textile factory area last night, the girl sent Nicolas a message asking if he was still working late or what time he would arrive at her penthouse. However, Dianne never got a reply when she woke up and even into the afternoon when they passed each other in the office.'At least he greeted me and told me what time he got home last night,' Dianne thought. She fiddled with her pen while her eyes stared blankly at th
