“Can you buy me a new toy car?” Myles suddenly entered their conversation, making them laughed.
“Myles stop it. You already have toys.” Emilia's eyes broaden shortly as she calls Myles.
Kevin and Vincent laughed.
“But they're not working...” Myles insisted.
“No, because you always destroy them remember?” she said.
Chuckles, “Okay,” Vincent stops moving his spoon and fork on his plate, “I'll buy you an rc car, but promise me that you won't destroy it.”
“No Vincent, that's not necessary right now,” Emilia refuses, “not unitl you get regular on that job.”
“Yes I promise!” Myles felt happy.
“Me too, I want a new dress for our school event.” Therese joined the conversation.
“Therese, no.” Emilia broaden her eyes again.
Chuckles, “Okay okay, I'll buy you both.” Vincent agreed, “It's okay mom, I won't lose my new job.”
“Yesss!” Therese felt happy like Myles.
“Therese, finish your food.” Emilia told her.
Everyone continued to have a happy meal, without knowing that everything he said are just lies.

The other day.
The news about the incredible robbery from the accused corrupted government official has been released in social medias. It receives countless of different comments around the world, but mostly are positive ones. Some people believes that the government official deserves to lose it all, while others are still unsure if they would praise the criminal, for they don't know where it brought the all the money.
The National Police Investigation team representative gave an announcement to the public about the viral news.
He told everyone to stop praising the criminal just because he robbed a corrupted government official. Everyone should still stay aware, for they don't know the real intention of the extraordinary criminal. He also asked everyone to let the authorities know, once they encountered it, in order to increase their chances of capturing the extraordinary criminal.

Sipping a tasteful coffee, there's a man watching the news about the incredible robbery alone inside a living room. He is wearing a red sweater and light grey pants, while seating on a couch and distantly facing the television built on the clear wall.

Vincent came home carrying five shopping bags of presents for everyone.
“Good morning!, come look what I have here!” he called everyone's attention and raised up his presents.
Therese and Myles felt most surprised because they already have a clue of what's inside his presents. They immediately pushed back their chairs and headed to Vincent walking away from the door.
Emilia felt a bit disappointed at him, she walked closer to her kids who are already opening their own presents on the small table of the living room with too much excitement.
“That's a latest released rc car, good thing I grabbed it quickly before the other hands took it.” he said while helping him unboxing the rc car.
“Whoa!... It's really cool!, thank you Vincent!” he hugs it tightly.
“Eeeeeh!, I love this!, how do you know about this?!, I've been wanting this for so long.” Therese hugs her present too and sways her body.
“I just saw it from the online advertisement, and I thought that you might like it.” he smilingly replied.
“Thank you.” she said with the same happiness that Myles has.
“Ahem...” Emilia tried to take Vincent's attention by coughing once near the doorless kitchen room.
“Hey Kevin, check this one, I bought you too.” he handed the present to him.
“Bro, how about your savings?,” he was feeling shy, “you don't need to include me there.” but he takes the present.
“Haha, just consider it as a gift for your previous birthday. It's alright bro...” he taps Kevin's arm.
“Vincent.” she called him to have a talk and he did.
“Mom.” he noticed her reaction because of his sudden surprise.
“I told you that these things are not necessary. You're still under probitionary period, you should be saving your money.” she said with crisscrossed arms.
“Mom, everything's fine. In fact, I'm doing good on my job.” he said, “there's nothing to worry.” he pointed out a hand to them shortly.
Sighs, “But Vincent, I'm not telling this to make you selfish. I'm just concerned about your future.” her left hand rises till it matches her neck and sways it down open, showing him her palm.
Chuckles, “Mom, everything's alright. You don't need to worry about it, 'cause I—.” he shakes his hands shortly that matches his chest.
“I what?” she wondered and thought that he was hiding something.
“Uh, I-uh...” his eyes changes direction, “Just, just don't worry mom.” he returned his eyes to her, “I'm doing good, my future will be alright and I'm really sure about it.” he smirks trying to make her stop wondering.
Deeply sighs, “Vincent.” Emilia's eyes are still worried in looks.
“Anyway, I brought you a present.” he grabbed the present for his mom, “Here mom, take a look.” he showed it to her to change the topic.
