Esta runs to the hotel where Nick is staying. His hands were shaking with his cell phone. Even his face looked so pale.


Tom opened the door. How shocked when I saw Esta's condition.


Tomi: sit down, lady, I'll call the boss


Shortly after, Nick appeared. Her hair is still a little wet. He rushes to Esta as soon as he hears Tomi's explanation.


This girl..What happened to her?


Nick: what's up Esta? your face is so pale?


Esta: Rico


Nick: Rich?! what's wrong with her? the other day I made a call and he was fine


I had a bad dream about Rico


aaah.just a nightmare apparently.


Nick: isn't that just a dream?


Esta: no. From the morning I called her. butu can't


Nick: probably on the way home


Esta: no. Something must have happened. Check Nick. I beg you


Nick: okay, now calm yourself


Nick takes Esta to rest in his room. He looks depressed. Did something really happen?


Tomi: her?


Nick: let him sleep.check if there's a flight worthy of Rico's name today


Tomi: well


Nick: also check Edward's movements

Nick seemed to be contacting someone. He's speaking on the rooftop.


Esta remembered the place. Yep. A place where he looks for inspiration for his novels. And also his favorite place to enjoy the beautiful twilight.


Nick: Esta?! what are you doing here?


Esta: I want to see the twilight


Nick: rest here pretty cold


Esta: it's okay


Nick: don't argue. Come in. I've called the doctor


Esta looked into Nick's eyes. He's really on the rooftop. Enjoyed the afternoon. When the sky on the west horizon began to blush orange. Nope. But dusk this time looks so...red?

Tomi walks hurriedly to Nick's room. Information he got this time. It's gonna be a big blow for Nick.


Tom: the boss


Nick: what do you get?


Tomi: Rico? he didn't fly today


Tomi: our men say that Rico met Edward a few days ago

Tomi: what should we do boss?


Nick: we're going to switzerland


Tomi: now? but Esta?


Nick: Asih will take care of him. We leave tomorrow morning


Tomi: well

I'm gonna find out what Rico did with Edward. It's been fun enough this time


I have to take you home, otherwise the girl's life would be ruined


Tomi: boss. Cassandra's got the car ready for us


Nick: where is he now?


Tomi: still in the company. Two more hours will meet us at the mansion


Nick: good


Tomi: about Rico


Nick: let's talk about that later. Give me a little peace of mind


Tomi: sorry boss


Cassandra is Nick's confidant. He's been running the central company. While Nick's having fun out there. No. gabe. The two grew up together. Undergo difficult times when their father treats both of them with great discipline.


Cassandra: Nick, you haven't been home for a long time


Nick: don't be stale. What's your accountability report?


Cassandra: don't be too serious. Don't you want to age fast?


Nick: just get to the point


Cassandra: you really haven't changed


Nick: where's Rico? did Edward take him?


Cassandra: no. The two are close. there's no way Ed hurt her


Nick: have you forgotten his nature?


Cassandra: Rico met her of his own accord


Nick: really? why that?


Cassandra: there's an issue of Albert's return


Nick: Albert's? isn't he long dead?


Cassandra: I hear in the near future Ed will announce his successor, Albert
