Jennifer went to the mini market to buy some needed items. After that Jennifer was interested in a bookstore near the mini market. Looks like there's a discount. The bookstore was very busy. Jennifer left her shopping at the cashier of the mini market.
"Would you mind if I left my groceries for a bit? I'd like to go to the bookstore next door," Jennifer asked.
"You can leave your stuff there. Because I'm going to change shifts. Don't worry, there's a storage area there."
"Okay then. Thanks for the information," Jennifer said and then walked away.
According to the minimarket employee, inside the bookstore there is a place to store goods for visitors. Jennifer immediately left her shopping bag, then went inside. Jennifer could see a sizable discount sign in one corner of the shop.
"Are you guys having a discount today?" Jennifer asked one of the shopkeepers.
"True. But only specifically on the bookshelf that has a discount sign on it. If it's not there, it still uses the original price."
"Thanks for the information," Jennifer replied and started to get between the bookshelves.
Some shelves do not appear to have a discount sign. Especially the shelves containing the latest published books. Meanwhile, the books that are being discounted are left over from old publications. Even so the book is still new and worth reading.
In fact, Jennifer hasn't read a book in a long time. What had happened so far made Jennifer not have time to do it. Therefore, when she saw that there was a bookstore there, Jennifer was immediately moved to take up a hobby that she hadn't done in a long time.
Jennifer is very happy to collect mystery books, detectives to horror. Especially with certain book titles. For a moment Jennifer remembers the writer that Jennifer likes the most, namely Alex. Jennifer wonders if Alex is still writing books.
Jennifer is looking for a novel by Alex. But on the discount bookshelves as well as the new ones there are none of Alex's works. Jennifer had to be disappointed for a moment.
"Are you looking for a certain book?" asked one of the employees who happened to be passing by.
"No. What do you think of mystery books like horror, murder or something similar and what are currently selling? I haven't bought a book in a long time," said Jennifer.
"What a coincidence. You can see on the shelf," the employee pointed to one of the shelves that was crowded with people. Several people were standing there selecting some books.
"There specifically books by well-known authors. His name is Dragon. At first Dragon's work was not well-known, but his work, entitled 'The Women', was in demand a year ago. So he is very famous until now."
"Okay, I'll try to take a look. Thank you," Jennifer said then walked over to the bookshelf.
Jennifer immediately saw the book with the title the shop employee mentioned. The author of the book is Dragon. Incidentally the book that Jennifer is holding is the eleventh printing. Some people seem to buy the book without a second thought. Jennifer began to be interested in buying it too. After reading the synopsis Jennifer knew what made the book a bestseller. The story of The Women is based on the true story of the author who may be a secret agent. Where the author is someone who suffers from alexithymia. Because of that problem, the writer doesn't know what feelings he feels towards a woman that the writer has longed for. However, the author only knows one thing. If the woman is happy, the writer is happy too. In addition, the author also recounts his experience as a secret agent. Reading the synopsis without thinking Jennifer immediately bought the book.
"Good choice," said the shop employee. "This is the last stock of books. Because the author of this book has long disappeared," said the shop employee.
"Disappeared? How are you sure?" Jennifer asked.
Because Dragon didn't come to the award ceremony, even though he had promised to be there for the sake of his fans. At the same time that day, there was an explosion by terrorists at the building where the event was going to take place. A fan saw a young man saving some fans when an explosion was about to happen. They didn't know who the young man was, but at the scene they found the man's name tag with the words Dragon written on it. That's when they realized the young man was Dragon. Strangely, when everyone asked for an evaluation, the person was not found. He disappeared, "said the employee. shop.
"It's tragic. It seems that you are also suitable to be a writer. The information you provide is quite detailed," said Jennifer.
"Of course. Because the people that the young man saved, one of them was me," said the shop employee with a very sad expression.
"Have you ever seen Dragon's face?" Jennifer asked.
The shop employee shook his head. "Just a glimpse. He's very handsome, and looks like a frequent visitor."
Jennifer wanted to ask again, but the line behind was already long. Jennifer must know herself, Jennifer immediately paid for the book, took the shopping bag and left. Jennifer became very curious about Dragon's story. Jennifer intended to read it as soon as she got to the apartment.
There was no work for Jennifer that day, which was why it was a perfect day to relax and read a book. Jennifer was excited at the thought of sitting in the apartment. Read a book accompanied by tea and snacks. Just imagining it made Jennifer want to get to the apartment as soon as possible.
Jennifer gets into the elevator and is accidentally alone with someone very unexpected, namely Max. The man just glanced at him and didn't say anything. But Jennifer was annoyed, especially when she remembered Max's treatment, which was always unexpected and unreadable.
Jennifer stood awkwardly. Meanwhile, Max is very cold and arrogant. The strange atmosphere between the two made Jennifer yearn for the elevator to open immediately. But Jennifer has another plan, which is to kill Max if she has the chance. After all Max was a terrorist, Jennifer didn't have to wait for orders. If there is a chance, kill immediately.
"Are you following me on purpose?" Jennifer asked on purpose. At that time Jennifer did not carry any weapons. But Jennifer has a thick book that can be used as a weapon.
Max didn't answer. Jennifer had guessed.
"Found it," Jennifer said again.
Max's face was still flat. That's when the elevator shook and the elevator stopped moving. Jennifer immediately pressed the button, but the elevator still didn't move.
"Shut up. I think there's been a disturbance," Max said.
Jennifer smiled lopsidedly. Looks like time is in Jennifer's favor. This is the perfect time to kill Max. The man who had played with life and destroyed Jennifer's family. If Max was never in Jennifer's life. Maybe now Jennifer's house is still the same as before and Jennifer is living happily with Janeth. All of that happened because of Jennifer's mistake who brought Max into Jennifer's private life.
