Jane's Revenge
Old Friend
Daniel Wynford is an architect. While in college, he was about to take classes in building physics as well as algebraic mathematics, the first time Daniel met Edric Harisson. That's where they first became classmates.
Who would have thought Edric and Daniel were a match for each other. Not infrequently they are often seen together, whether it is in the cafeteria, library or outside of lecture hours. They also compete in lessons.
"Hey! Do you think the same as me, the lesson this time is ridiculous. Why did our lecturer ask his students to measure this tree? Like no other object can be measured."
"Follow his will if you don't want your job to get a C."
While grumbling Daniel climbed up the chair to measure the height of the tree. Even so, Daniel is among the students who have above average grades. Edric was below him.
Until the death of Garrix Harisson, Edric's older brother changed his attitude drastically including their friendship.
Edric always refused student gatherings on the grounds that there was no time to play around. It seems to be pulling away from the others. Her genuine smile was gone replaced with a sharp eye highlight. Edric also focuses more on learning.
Maybe Edric felt very lost his older brother. Daniel also accepted.
Not feeling graduation day arrived, Edric managed to reach first place, beating Daniel.
"Congratulations on your achievement.."
Daniel gave his regards.
"Thank you."
They shake hands. Daniel thought it might be their last meeting. Once graduated each of them has their own goals.
Edric bequeathed his father's company. While Daniel became an architect consultant in collaboration with several large companies in need of his services. His hours are free.
Besides that Daniel also pursue his hobby in gardening. Not just planting crops, he also studied agriculture or farming. Daniel was used to doing hard work and he liked it more than sitting in a room for hours.
A few years later, an unknown number called his cell phone.
"Hallo?"
"Daniel Wynford, you remember me.."
Daniel tried to remember who the owner of the baritone voice was calling him.
"Who?"
"Edric Harisson's.."
"Hi Edric, it's been a long time since we exchanged news, now you've been successful. I see you on the television screen."
They also began to talk lightly and a little nostalgic.
"Of course I'm calling you not to mince words. I'd like to invite you to work with my company."
"What's that?"
Edric would not miss a talented man like Daniel Wynford, so he offered a job for the development of his project. Daniel also agreed that besides he also wanted to expand the relationship, Daniel was difficult to refuse if he asked for an old friend.
Daniel has been a consultant architect for Edric.
Back in the present...
Again Edric asked him to work on a development. He owns many properties in Louisiana.
"You've bought all the land here or maybe you're interested in becoming mayor." Daniel joked.
Edric wanted a classic old-fashioned European-style house with spacious gardens and gardens. His housework was completed a week ago, now just beautify his yard.
Daniel was only wearing a singlet, the sun was quite blazing in this cold weather. Hoeing activities can also be draining energy. Daniel's body was sweating.
A DUG! A DUG! A DUG!
The sound of crowbars and hoes clashed with the ground to make it more loose. Daniel will plant a star magnolia tree. This tree flower is very beautiful when blooming later.
Suddenly his activities stopped because Daniel heard the sound of the front gate being opened.
Wh who? Did Edric come here to monitor the work on his new home?
Daniel peeked out from behind the bushes. Not Edric, but a woman. It was unclear what his face looked like because of their considerable distance. Daniel's forehead creased the woman into a sagging walk, her guts very suspicious.
Not-don't be thieves...
Daniel let the woman into the house first. Then he will ambush her. Just in case Daniel was carrying a crowbar, who knew the woman was carrying a weapon and putting up a fight.
Daniel followed the woman slowly. The woman was unaware of his existence. Daniel had locked the front door so that the woman could not escape.
That woman was leaving every room that was here. Unfortunately, he will not find any valuables because this house is not yet in residence. Where maybe he will bring furniture that is almost twice the size of his own body.
It's been enough touring around Miss' house..
Daniel ruffled his waist while knocking a crowbar on the floor.
"What are you doing here?"

Edric really kept his promise to make a house that Jane likes. All that so Edric can stay with her. What a sweet man!
Ahkir-ahkir's Edric is busy meeting with stock investors and monitoring the place of the new project. Jane was a little relieved not to meet him. He also needed space to breathe for a while without Edric.
As Jane enjoys her temporary freedom, a messenger sends an envelope to her apartment. It was from Edric Harisson.
Jane opened the envelope. It contains the key and home address.
The house we are going to occupy is almost finished in the wake. Maybe you can move your stuff first.
Jane glanced at the desk calendar, meaning less than a week and a half away. An idea flashed through his mind. How about Jane check out the house first. He'll find out where Edric installed the surveillance cameras. It is possible that Jane also found hidden places that Edric would use to store his personal belongings.
On Sunday afternoon Jane slid into her new home address. Where there might be workers on holidays right? That's what Jane believed.
Bizarrely. The gate's not in the lock. Jane looked around. Not a single car was parked. Long enough Jane stood outside, still not visible to anyone. It could be that the person Edric hired forgot to lock the door. So sloppy.
Jane continued her steps.
"Excuse me.."
To anticipate Jane to give her greetings. Slender. Now he's sure there's nobody here.
If viewed CCTV cameras are only installed in the living room area, front porch and back door. It's not functional yet, Jane can find out by turning off the lights, no infrared light.
Jane is grateful Edric still provides privacy, not all rooms are fitted with surveillance cameras. Moreover, the number of rooms there are three, two main rooms and one guest room. So Jane doesn't have to worry about sharing the same room every day with Edric. Phew!
Now it's time to examine each room more thoroughly.
TUKS!
"What are you doing here?"
Jane looked over, and her face paled. There was a tall, burly man carrying a crowbar who had been standing in the doorway of the room.
Jane reflexes screaming.
