"What happened, Young Master? Why is Lady Samantha unconscious?" Manang Lucinda inquired, concerned, as she noticed Luther carrying the girl into the mansion.
Luther simply replied, "She's just tired from playing with Yuki," and climbed upstairs to the girl's room. "After you prepare the dinner, come upstairs and bathe her," he said as he continued walking.
He could hear her response before ascending to the second floor of the house. He returned his gaze to the young woman's face and could feel his rage growing.
He's just trying to be patient, but God knows he's not.
Earlier, he wanted to shake and tried to awaken the girl to answer his questions. He will not stay quiet as long as a mafia associate is present in his home.
Because, if his suspicions were correct, the girl was sent only to spy on him.
Someone might have discovered their secrets, and this became their solution to discover the truth behind the thefts.
He placed the girl in her assigned bed. He then turned away when he heard the girl mumble, "N-no... Please... No..." He turned around to see that she was still sleeping and clearly having nightmares.
He ignored it and walked out of the room. He doesn't mind if she dies; he can still get the answer on Kheed. The young man called his friend, recalling what he had ordered. "Whoa, boss."
"Update," he simply replied before entering his own room. He sits and waits for the other end of the line to respond.
"I don't have much proper information to give; it's just what he said, what she said; there's no factual basis; but don't worry, I've mobilized my staff to find information about her."
He pinched his temple, trying to keep his annoyance to Burst. "When will you be able to provide me with an update?"
"I'm not sure, but as soon as possible," Kheed replied.
He had no choice but to wait once more.
Luther leaned back in his swivel chair and looked at the wall, which overlooked the girl's room as he hung up the call. The paper on the table crumpled as he expressed his annoyance.
If he can prove his suspicions about her are correct, he will not hesitate to kill her.
She went from pretending to be unconscious to pretending to have lost her memory.
It's extremely impossible for someone to pass through that area unintentionally. He was certain that everything was done on purpose. Even the accident and her memory loss. It was designed to track all of his movements and report back to her superiors. He is sure of it.
They were foolish to just care about being exposed. They didn't even consider that someone might already be aware, and that this was the best way to bring him down.
However, they chose the wrong person. He is not easily defeated. He worked hard for two years to get to where he is now, and it will not be wasted because of that girl. He couldn't forgive her for deceiving them. She'll pay for it.

Blood... The red liquid was scattered, as were the broken windows of the car carrying two lifeless people.
He gasped and clutched his chest as he stood up to catch his breath. Even though his room had an air conditioner, he could feel sweat dripping down his face.
He shook his head, trying to shake the dream that kept returning and visiting him, then went straight into the bathroom, where all he could hear was the splash of water hitting his body.
He will go down as if nothing happened, as he always does after calming itself down. His attention was drawn to the girl who was watching what the old steward was doing.
"Good morning, Young master," the old lady said as soon as she noticed his presence.
The young woman smiled up and waved with her unbandaged hand. "Hello there!"
The young man ignored her, but she kept smiling and even approached the young man's path. " I've been waiting, let's eat."
The young man looked at the girl as it changed its behavior toward him, but her act won't work on him. He was aware of what she was up to. "I'm not going to eat," he said sparingly as he fastened the button on his arm.
"Huh? Why? Manang cooked so much, won't you even taste it?" Samantha inquired, her gaze fixed on the food on the table.
"I don't eat breakfast," Luther replied again before walking out with his black briefcase. "Wait a minute, just eat this at least," the young woman chased after him, handing him a bread with egg filling. "I said, I don't eat breakfast."
"You're going to work and will surely feel tired, your stomach needs to be full, even if it's just a piece of bread for your brain to work properly. Mama said, it's hard to work when you're hungry," the girl said as she wrapped the bread in the tissue. The man simply looked at it, shook his head, hopped in his car, and drove away.
The girl was seen smiling and waving. She was in good mood.
Manang informed her about her boyfriend's actions. When she passed out on the grass, he carried her into the room.
She had fallen asleep while playing with her boyfriend's dog. And perhaps Yuki's speech, as well as their argument, was a dream. Well, it's really impossible for a dog to talk.
So she waited for the young man to arrive so she could eat with him and thank him for what he had done for her. But it appears that his boyfriend was too preoccupied in the morning to eat. However, she was pleased to see how hardworking her boyfriend is, which made her proud to be his girlfriend.
"Didn't Young Master scold you? I forgot to tell you that he doesn't eat in the morning," Manang said as she returned to the kitchen.
"No, he didn't; in fact, he took the bread I gave him so he could eat it in the car," she replied with a smile. "Did the young master take it?" The girl nod.
The elderly lady was shocked by the abrupt change in behavior. Perhaps her boss is changing now that he has a girlfriend. She was pleased with what was going on. After twenty years of service, she is finally seeing results.
"Manang! Let's go and eat!" The girl said who was happily sitting at the dining table and taking rice, even though she said she couldn't be with her; she insisted, saying that when the young master wasn't there, she wanted to be treated as normal. "I'll just finish what I'm doing."
In response, the girl nodded and began to eat. As she watched her, the old lady smiled.

After midday, the girl was bored at home once more. Also, Yuki is sleeping in his cell at this time. When the young woman saw a man mowing the weeds in the garden, she looked down at the veranda, wondering what she could do.
She was enthralled to watch it, amused by how it molded the plants into various shapes.
This is what makes the garden so lovely. She wants to learn that and was curious until the thought brought a smile to the girl's lips. She stood up and rushed out to the gardener, who had not anticipated the girl's arrival. "Hello there!" He was surprised when he heard a woman's voice on the side and turned to see the lovely creature.
He was shocked by the smiling angel in front of him when he remembered the rules in this mansion. He rushes out to get his things, certain that he will be fired. He needs this job because he has siblings who are students.
"Wait, where are you going? I just got here," the girl inquired. When he heard that even her voice was very beautiful, the man closed his eyes but quickly brought himself back to reality. "Please accept my apologies, Lady Samantha, but I cannot be seen with you."
"Even you?" the girl snorted. "First, I can't be with Manang, and then you?" Samantha was dissatisfied with the house policy. "I apologize."
"How can I regain my memory if I have no one to talk to here? He's messed up!"
The gardener could hear the girl's complaints. "Don't go, Luther isn't here, and no one will know you spoke to me."
"However, Lady Samantha..." The gardener was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice.
"Leave them to their work and don't be a bother."
Both of them heard a voice from behind. They both came to a halt, they looked back and saw an old woman full of shiny things.
Samantha heard the male gardener in front stutter and looked at the lady who had arrived. " S-señora Silvanna..."
