“I don’t know what is going on in that man’s head… why would he….” Clenching his fist, Marco slams his hand on his table. He did try to calm himself down but nothing seemed to work. His face clearly showed how bad his week had been. Meeting after meeting about the issue his company was facing, it was not even his forte to begin with. Another knock was heard coming from the door. But he runs out of patience about being called into a meeting with the shareholders. The Hinsen company was a wide and strong company that held almost all of the fashion industry. It is even a big threat for overseas fashion companies as they have a big impact on society. “All is doing great if that man…” The door opened. It was just as he thought, it was something related to the issue circulating about his ‘father’s’ bad deeds. About how he had a connection with criminals and even became the mastermind of some crimes that were dismissed as an accident. “Sir, please be ready in ten. The media are all set
“How long will this take?” I asked Francis. He was looking at the area as he was checking if we could pass through. Just one more turn and we can head straight to the highway that connects to the office. But there seems to be no hope of getting through. “It seems like a van hit the other vehicles. Causing damages even on the nearby stalls. The whole road was closed. I asked and they said it would take time for the help to arrive. They are stuck in XXX since the snow was heavy there. They can’t get through…” So it was like that… but how about the other alternatives? I am not that knowledgeable about this place but for sure there would be some routes, right? “I also tried asking about the other lane and yes we can get through there but the road is covered with snow” Now that he mentioned… the snow is falling heavier than a while ago. If I lay my hand catching some, in a minute my hands would be covered by snowflakes. What should we do? It is also getting cold… Looking around, the
“Thank you once again, Kieffer” As soon as I gave back the helmet that he had lent me, he replied. “No problem, I also have business nearby” I can say it took a lot of time since we stopped because of the snow. But the ride was a success. Thanks to his help, I arrived here much faster. “I’ll give you a discount when you purchase in my shop” He slightly laughs at my offer. “Sure, thanks” It was weird how I didn’t find any problem with what was happening. Maybe it is what you would feel to if all the other guys didn’t matter to you. I can’t help but smile bitterly when I remember Drake. He then left after bidding his goodbye. I eventually arrived at my office. In front of the moonlight’s palce. However… it was quite late and I was also sleepy. And yet, I find it hard to head inside. Looking at the tall building in front of me, I smiled bitterly. I really want to see Drake soon… it is the first time I would sleep not being able to fix our problem… I want to talk to him now that
“Serena?” Calling her, that is the only thing I can do right now. “Serena please… pick up…” I cried as I had one of my hand holding my phone. But unlike what I thought she would do… she didn’t pick her phone up. It is so late too, maybe she is asleep… what can I do then? “Seki…” I mumbled. Hoping she would pick my phone up. But… if I tell her… I don’t know what she can do to Drake… I… Pressing the break of my car, I park my vehicle on the side. With my head pressed on the back of my palm, I just let myself stay like for some while. “I… don’t know what to do…” Just remembering that scene I saw makes me want to vomit… Gulping… it seems like I used all my strength already. I… I wish it is just a nightmare… I hope this is not true… More than me dying… it is much more painful. I… I really don’t know what should I do now… Everything… it just feels so unreal… And as the snow fell down, I didn’t even notice how my car was covered completely. I just let myself be drowned in th
“Ms., you are awake” Looking at where I was, it seemed to be a hospital room. Why am I here anyway? I… I remember falling asleep in my car. I was so tired and… Realization hits me. Making me stare at my hands as I recall how I cried my heart out till I fell asleep. “Do you remember what happened to you? You are found unconscious in your car. It may be just the start of winter but please take good care of yourself” Speaking to me, I can see a man looking at me as he holds a pen and paper. A doctor… perhaps… “Yes…” Uttering those words it is the only thing I can speak of. I don’t know… I really have no idea what should I do next “Can I leave now?” Looking at me, he seems to be surprised. But… I don’t feel anything right now. I mean, I seem… fine. I guess. “You need to take care of yourself, Ms. but sign some files about your discharge after an hour. Eat the meal first and after a small check up, if nothing seems to be a problem then you are good to go” “Thanks” Maybe they
“What do you think happened to Madame Bea?” “What are you saying?” “I mean, didn’t you notice it? Her smile changed” Taking to each other, ever since the first breakthrough of the company in the fashion industry, all the recruits loved how they were treated with such care. How the rules are making them feel like they are needed. How they aren’t just working but are also enjoying themselves. One can say that all of the people in the company of Bea Houson admire how capable their boss is. How she was able to create such wonderful clothes that break the level to the max. Indeed, it was like a dream. It was like a cheat. After all, being in their position right now does need a huge amount of luck. Bea Houson is lucky in her debut to the industry, but more than anyone, they are lucky to have the chance to show how capable they were. Even if they may seem lacking at first, with how patient and how much they have been invested not just in the company but the whole people around them, th
“Hey, uhm… why don’t you… stop for a bit?” Looking at the state of their friend, Serena, and Ysekiel can’t help but wonder. ‘I thought she was already alright… but why…’ Gulping, Ysekiel once again sees how Kianna pours herself a glass of beer. Sipping each and every last bit of it. “Hey, you should stop. Really. You will get a headache tomorrow… you should…” Shaking her head, Serena then picked up her phone to call on Drake. ‘Maybe I should call him. More than anyone else, Kianna listens to Drake more’ “Eh?” Surprised by what she saw, even Ysekiel noticed how Serena’s reaction suddenly changed. “Who… who is this girl?” Eyes widening, Ysekiel then pushes her way to see Serena’s phone. That is when she saw the post of Drake, holding someone’s hand while they are in an airport. “I saw a notification and hit it… and…” Serena gulped to see the very post she clicked. Although the girl in the photo only got her back seen… There is no doubt. Of course, it isn’t Kianna. Because
“Serena, how is she?” “Kianna is asleep. I think she won’t wake up soon. She drinks so much…” Looking at the social media, Ysekiel is finding ways to contact Drake. But just as she thought, the said man is out of reach. “What the hell is he thinking? Does he know how much he hurts Kianna?” Sitting down beside Ysekiel, Serana let out a deep sigh. “I am not really sure… I… I am worried is Kianna. Many things happened to her and… now this” Resting her hand on the table, even Ysekiel worries if about their friend’s condition. “What would happen now?” “I don’t know… Kianna gave up in her moves to bring the Hinsen down. But I knew you had heard the news about their almost downfall. The Hinsen was under suspicion for being affiliated with illegal works. Even get far being connected to some big criminals” Shaking her head as she explained those words, Ysekiel let her head lie down on the couch. “Everything was doing good for her. There are some things like that incident but I am glad
