Other Interests

Victor woke up from sleep and checked the time. Victor got up in a hurry because it would be too late to be lazy. He completely forgot about the previous incident. 

Victor met Daniela who had just come out of room number 1 on the 1st floor. It is located close to the guard post. As the owner, Daniela often gets up early and takes care of the house. 

Victor and Daniela greeted each other with a nod of their heads. Victor rushed out, half-running all the way to the highway. Daniela observed Victor's footsteps.

It was still clear in Daniela's memory how Ox had previously made Victor's body stiff, unable to move. The incident just seen is very different from what has already happened.

"I hate dealing with someone who doesn't realize their personal potential," Danila muttered.

"So, will you act?"

Daniela turned her head quickly. Wildo was already standing behind her. 

"I also hate people who show up without a voice," Daniela told Wildo. 

Then Daniela avoided Wildo and entered the guard post. She took out a glass and tea. Daniela started her morning routine. From the clear window she always cleaned, Daniela could see Wildo walking out like he was following Victor. 

"What does he want to do?" asked Daniela in her own mind. 

"Not only Zi, that person also makes me nervous," Daniela grumbled. It was because she often couldn't understand the reason for Wildo's every action.

Back to Victor who continued to walk to the office. He had already done this for two months since living in White Castle, so he was getting used to his surroundings. Victor can avoid various things that can prevent him from getting to the office on time. 

Meanwhile in the distance, Wildo walks behind Victor until he turns into a different path. 

Victor is ready to work at Falcon Face's Candy for VIP Service. He remembered his first day working in the division and also the first day he met Aditya. 

Victor let out a long sigh, remembering Aditya made him think of the bonus that had been floating. Victor still doesn't believe in the cyber theft incident he experienced. So, Victor checked the balance again. 

Victor's account number has changed. The day he lost money, not only made him report to the police station, but also to the Bank. Victor gets advice to close the old account number and replace the new one. The bank cooperatively participated in the investigation in cooperation with the police, but also stated that it could not promise the full refund because the incident was not the fault of the bank's system. 

Victor let out a long sigh after seeing the balance. Reality has not changed in the slightest. The more often it is seen, the greater the pain it feels. So, Victor decided to end the behavior of checking balances. He decided to focus on working again and be grateful for the last amount of money still in his account.

During the break time, Victor opened the wallet and saw the business card Amel gave him. The supermodel has stated that she is waiting for his arrival at the office. Victor began to think, maybe by becoming a model, he could get more luck. But his lack of confidence still prevented him from trying. Victor couldn't let go of the certainty of the fixed salary of Falcon Face. Victor put the business card back in his wallet and put it in his trouser pocket. 

Victor meets Eka in the same room. They work in the same division today. There should be Luis too. 

"Did you see Luis?" asked Victor. 

Eka shook her head. 

"Did he do the delivery?"

"This place is not so spacious, we should still be able to see him when he is busy packing or picking things up."

Eka agreed with Victor's explanation. 

"Is it possible that he is sick and didn't come in?"

Victor was still looking for Luis among the passers-by. 

"Do you have anything to do with him?" Eka made sure that Victor's odd attitude in front of her must have a purpose. 

Victor couldn't explain his wishes. He expressed it incoherently. 

"I think I need his opinion. But since he is not there, how about you give me some suggestions?"

Eka stood tense. Victor doesn't often ask for someone's opinion. Victor is a smart worker and can make his own decisions. Eka felt happy and nervous at the same time at that moment. 

"About what?" 

Victor scratched his left eyebrow with the middle finger of his left hand. 

"How about I come to Amel's agency?"

Eka's eyes rounded. "You finally made a decision? Wow, this is great!" she exclaimed. 

Eka seemed happier than Victor and her reaction was as if she had already seen Victor as a supermodel. 

"But I'm not sure," Victor said, preventing Eka from becoming more excited. 

"Why not rest assured? If I had a chance like you, I would have left," Eka said, looking at Victor deeply. Then turned her gaze around. 

"Look at this place. Even if the monthly income of Falcon Face is quite enough for daily life, there is something unspeakable here, something mysterious. I don't know what yet, but sometimes those unspeakable things make me uncomfortable. It's scary, but I don't know what it is."

Victor didn't understand what Eka meant. 

"Then, do you think that by being a model, those things that you mean as unspeakable will not exist?"

Eka thought of the possibility. "It's possible," she replied after contemplating for a moment. 

"You may think I'm crazy, but I'm serious about saying that. There is something mysterious, like secretly taking something important from us. Oh, how to explain it... I was really confused, because there were some things I couldn't remember. There's something odd here," Eka said, visibly agitated. 

Victor watched Eka nervously. 

"Something odd? What does it look like, for example?" Victor asked. 

Eka turned her head. "For example, this morning I found myself naked in a hotel. I don't remember what I did there, but someone... The bigwigs of this company sleep next to me. And my body…I know, I did that," But Eka couldn't say it to Victor. She just kept silent with a terrible memory. Then she gasped and held her breath, "Did Luis also experience the same thing?" she asked silently.

Victor saw Eka's face turn into horror. There was horror revealed in her expression but it could not be expressed in words. 

"What's the matter?"

Eka looked around. She felt that everyone was watching them. 

"It's nothing. Let's go back to work!" Eka suddenly turned around and refocused on her work. When Victor asks for an explanation, Eka dismisses it and leaves him.

Victor was surprised because all this time Eka had never been so rude to him. "What's on her mind?" Victor is curious but useless if she forces Eka to explain it now. Coercion will not produce anything.

In the end, Victor returned alone in his confusion. When he tried to refocus, someone invited him to talk. "How about you just ask Rami about your plans? Who knows that the company won't let you do two things at once?"

Victor heard Ken's voice. Why can that man be so wise? 

"You heard our conversation? And since when have you been here?" 

"Ah, I replaced someone who couldn't come in today and accidentally listened to your conversation."

"Someone who can't come in?"

Ken nodded. "Luis. Aren't you his friend? I guess you know him and know the reason for not signing in today without notice to the company."

"He didn't come in without notice to the company?" Victor added, shocked hearing the news. Not entering without notice to the company could result in a salary reduction or bonus being taken by the company. Luis couldn't have done that kind of thing. Although he hasn't known Luis for long, Victor believes that Luis will not give up his hard-earned money casually. 

"You really don't know?" Ken was ascertained and astonished by Victor's reckless attitude after hearing his words. 

"Yes. I don't know," Victor said. 

Victor also took out his mobile phone. Ken held him back from using his mobile phone in the midst of busy work. 

"Don't do it," Ken said. 

Ken glanced around, signaling to Victor that people were busy. If Victor uses a mobile phone now, Victor will be regarded as an idler. Victor will also get the nickname of a guy who doesn't know ethics. 

Victor understood the signal Ken was sending to him. Victor then put the mobile phone back in his pocket. 

Victor and Ken then work together to pack and ship the luxury goods to deliver to VIPs. Victor was supposed to do the Candy for VIP Service with Luis, so that on the way they could talk. Today, however, that cannot be done. 

"I think I know why you were hesitant to accept Amel's offer," Ken said. 

Victor and Ken were in the car with a driver. They were on their way to a VIP's house. 

"But haven't you got the bonus?" Ken completed his words.

"Unfortunately my bonus and salary are gone," Victor replied. 

"Lost? You mean it's missing from the account?"

Victor nodded sadly and at the same time annoyed. 

"Have you reported it to the police?" 

Victor nodded silently. 

They then fell silent for quite a while. Ken was quite sensitive to Victor's feelings at this time. 

"Then you really have to meet Rami. Tell her your problem, maybe she will give you some leeway," Ken said.

Victor listened to Ken's suggestion and considered it seriously.
