8 Hours before Alice's departure.
Raymond looks still struggling with his busyness in his room.
Already from this second, Greta was officially introduced as her new assistant replacing Elliot. Even now Greta is enthroned in Elliot's room with full access to all the secret data of MANGO Corporate, which is now in her grasp.
"Now Mr. Will, all of Raymond Weil's inventions will belong to our company, too, but the game is just getting started, in a moment we will both witness the moment of the demise of a stupid CEO," muttered Greta chuckling at the thought of all her plans, apparently easily unsuspecting by Raymond in the slightest.

Raymond's Room.
The door of the room rang, after Raymond exclaimed at his command, Brisca entered the room.
"Sir, 10 minutes from the meeting will be starting soon, all the files about the meeting agenda later I have placed on Mr. Elliot's desk, sorry Sir, I mean Miss Greta,"
Raymond interrupted Brisca's words.
"Why do you call Greta Miss, you think she's my wife, call her name! Your current position is the same" Raymond firmly ordered Brisca, he did not like what he heard.
The lady jal*ng was at will, feeling enthroned in this company.
I don't know why, so soon I didn't like it.
"Well sir forgive me, it's just that Miss Greta herself gave such an order, sir," Brisca said, bowing respectfully.
Raymond grew increasingly furious at Brisca's words.
"Your master, me or him, Brisca?" raymond asked with a sharpening of his eyes.
"Mr Raymond," Brisca answered stammeringly.
"So follow my orders, okay!" raymond then began to move towards his meeting room, using a mask to cover the bruises on the tip of his lips.
Raymond had just arrived at the meeting room, where it appeared that Greta, who had changed her clothes, was preparing for the meeting to take place.
In the middle of his meeting agenda, Raymond's mind could not focus and was always on Alice.
Brisca stopped her sentence while frowning, upon seeing her interlocutor not even paying attention to the arrangement of the sentence, which she spoke at length.
Brisca's eyes looked at Raymond's face in surprise. Unlike Raymond who was always full of concentration, workaholic and full of vitality in working as if he was not tired, today the opposite is one hundred and eighty degrees compared to Raymond is usually arrogant.
Raymond looked chaotic as if something was troubling his mind, leaving him unable to focus.
Brisca looked worriedly continuing to stare at Raymond.
"Are you okay, sir? Do I need to call your personal doctor to come here?" brisca asked in a formal sentence, but in a soft voice, he did not want clients who still heard the percentage of Greta to be disturbed.
Raymond knitted his eyebrows together at Brisca's question, his expression cold as if troubled by the question he was throwing.
"You think I'm sick? Do I look weak until you tell me to check myself out?" raymond answered by controlling his voice to sound slow.
"Eh, no Sir, it's not that but from your pale face, it looks like you're having a problem, you're not as focused as you normally would be, Mister," Brisca explained.
Raymond realized everything Brisca said was true. He thought for a moment to make a decision.
Once he believes what he will do. Raymond began to speak again to Brisca, who had been waiting for him.
"Brisca I want today's meeting to be held briefly, waste unnecessary pleasantries and I want the cooperation agreement with Oscar Company to be done as soon as possible!" tell Raymond with his flat face.
"Well sir, but instead of lunch at Phoenix Restaurant with our other clients, discuss our business plan for next month," brisca recalled Raymond's forgotten schedule.
Raymond regained his senses and patted his forehead slowly. He finally thought back.
Raymond let out a rough sigh, throwing away the burden that felt stifling to his chest. He recalled the events of his time, forgetting Alice's presence in his personal space. An event that always haunts his mind and disrupts all his activities.
"I have to find Alice's whereabouts, Daddy would be very angry if I didn't come home with him" Raymond murmured harshly.
"Brisca cancel the schedule to the restaurant, tell Mr. Rudolf I was not feeling well, changed the schedule a week later, because today I have more important business than the invitation to lunch" Raymond said.
Brisca inevitably obeyed Raymond's orders and sent a message to Mr.'s assistant. Rudolf regarding the unilateral annulment Raymond ordered.
"You continue this meeting, I have to go now, handle all the office business together with Greta yes!" tell Raymond to leave the meeting room.
Greta sees Raymond hastily leaving the meeting room.
Where are you about, Mr. Raymond.
Raymond sped up his pace, he took a special lift that was indeed available to him. Upon reaching the lobby of the office he ordered one of his staff to call Albert.
"It's also hard when there's no Elliot. Where should I find Alice? All access is still Elliot who holds it," murmured Raymond resentfully.
It could have been Raymond calling Elliot and apologizing for Alice's GPS access, but it seemed impossible to do so, such great self-esteem and ego still continues to be held sky-high by Raymond.
Raymond let out a rude sigh, the incident this morning when Alice came out of her personal space in annoyance still continued to haunt her mind.
Raymond's determination was already round, his face hardened full of confidence, this time in his mind only one, he had to find Alice and bring her back home.
Raymond clenched his hands tightly and kicked the air tight.
Raymond's luxury car had already arrived in front of the lobby. Albert went downstairs and rushed to open the car door for Raymond.
"Please sir" said Albert, bowing respectfully.
After Albert closed the door, he immediately entered and sat in his steering chair, quickly driving forward, splitting the London traffic that looked tenuous.
Albert continued to drive his car without a clear direction.
Where is this actually going.
If I asked you if Mr. Raymond wouldn't be angry.
His face looks crumpled today, I don't want to be affected by his frustration.
Albert continued to grumble in his heart, without reducing his speed, even though there was no clear direction of purpose.
Raymond continued to think, until he came to a decision that was beyond his habit, albeit with a doubtful heart.
Raymond took his phone out of his pants pocket, then started to open his voice to give commands to his advanced phone.
"Call Elliot!"
"Why not get picked up?" rue Raymond looked very furious, because he was not comfortable waiting.
After several times he continued to call, finally Elliot's voice began to be heard from across there.
"What's wrong?" ask Elliot with a ketus.
Raymond remained silent without a sound. His ego again locked his mouth, making Elliot's question sound unrequited.
"Don't think about Alice anymore, I'll take her away from London and the divorce papers will come to your house soon, just wait!" elliot said, although he could not get an answer from Raymond, but he was sure Raymond heard his words.
Raymond turned off his phone in annoyance.
I don't know why his mind feels raging. The great upheaval in him made his ego disappear like dust. A haughty arrogant face, instantly faded by his poignant taste.
Raymond endured the pain. His eyes suddenly began to turn red and wet. Sometimes he wipes the clear grain at the end of his eyes.
Raymond's face could no longer look up, he was only bowed with a sadness that was so late, visible from his face.
Alice is leaving.
Is this the end of my marriage?
Raymond remembered all the things he had gone through with Alice.
Starting from the beginning of the meeting.
Alice's time to the MANGO Corporate office and Raymond tells Elliot is Raymond.
Until it happened on his first night.
As she looked at Alice's beautiful body.
What surprised her the most was when Alice wanted to give him Nicholas shares.
All those memories alternately slipped present within his memories.
Why did I lose it so much?
Did I love him?
Raymond's grief peaked, as he remembered betraying the marriage he had just one day.
A few times Raymond jerked his fist at the car door, throwing away the annoyance that had been so unsettling.
Albert was stunned to hear that, he tried to protect himself by not asking Raymond.
Although the sound I have often heard but why every time I hear it, my heart still feels like it would be dislodged huh.
Albert breathed deeply.
