The Odd Eye

"let's join us for lunch at the circle restaurant?"

Daniel scanned his watch and had to decline Cade's invitation, he had his own meeting with a property owner in Daffodil city to discuss the construction of a building for his new casino.

Molly who was in the ladies restroom in the company lobby came out a little pale, she pressed her stomach and felt dizzy. The probability that the breakfast she ate this morning did not suit her stomach. Cade who saw Molly holding back the pain kept running closer to her, he placed his palm on Molly's forehead as if to check her body temperature.

Molly brushed aside Cade's hand that touched her forehead in front of every employee who roared in the lobby. Cade ignored the eyes that looking at them and instructed Anwar to bring the car to the front of the lobby to take Molly to the hospital. Before they stepped outside, Cade stared at his employees who were in their reverie to start work again or they would be laid off.

Workers who were stunned by their employer's gentle attitude towards Molly returned to the real world when they see Cade threatening gazed, they are in a frenzy racing to find work to do so as not to be fired. Molly felt guilty looking at her co -worker, she was only able to force a smile and let Cade to lead her to the car. Daniel followed Cade from behind and patted Cade on the shoulder before he got into the car in the back seat.

A sentence uttered by Daniel that stunned Cade for a moment before Molly was nauseated by the smell of the car and almost vomit her stomach content again.

"Congratulations my brother" Daniel's smile was meaningful and sincere, he is happy for his brother and Molly.

Cade face changed when he heard the words and looked at Molly that leaned her back on the seat with her eyes closed, happiness swarming him, the most indescribable feeling he ever had.

"Do you want to try again?" Soraya observed Helena's twisted face as she is forcing herself to continue this conversation.

"Helena expressing your feeling didn't make you weak, it made you stronger because you were able to face your problems. Running away from that issue won't help you later. I'm talking as your friend and not your therapist. I didn't force you to tell me about two years ago, but think about it, how are you going to get on with life and accept the situation as it is if you often overwhelm your problems."

Helena leaned herself on Soraya's velvet sofa, sitting cross -legged she tried to utter the words that filled her mind, but the effort was in vain when she tried to open her mouth and kept waiting, not a single sentence could be uttered. Soraya saw Helena's seriousness, she didn't want to force her anymore than she already did, Helena was like a porcelain doll that had been cracked and reassembled, whenever a little pressure would be applied it will crack it again.

She wrote a note in her personal book and marked "unfit for the mission" on paper, in the hope that this evaluation psychology can help Helena to no longer carry out missions in the future, even though Lorenzo agrees for Helena to quit the mission, there is another group of people higher in rank than Lorenzo who still control the operatives inside the Cabal.

"come again in a week, lets do this sessions weekly?" Soraya suggests Helena to meet with her once a week from now on, perhaps with this Helena will slowly land an understanding the importance of dealing with her problems rather than running away from it.

Helena nodded weakly and stood up to straighten her wrinkled shirt as she sat cross -legged, her long silver waist length this time is let loose and high cut shorts like the pin up girl she was wearing highlighting Helena's long legs.

Helena stepped out of Soraya's therapy room and went downstairs to open the main door. Since today was a little hotter than a normal day due to heavy rain a few days ago, Helena drove her jeep which she had quietly modified without Raymond or Lorenzo's knowledge. She presses the unlocked symbol on his car key and presses the auto start button so that his car is cooled from the radiating sunlight.

Helena's gaze wandered to observe the atmosphere around Soraya's house, the vast land in front of it was still undeveloped and left to become a bush. Helena lit her cigarette which she placed on her ear, the inhalation of nicotine smoke calmed her for a while, Helena continued to smoke when the luxury car with a tag number 8888 passed in front of her. The car was parked not far from Helena followed by the back door open instantly.
