"Aldric, is that really what you said?"
Hugo's gaze circulated towards the audience who were staring silently at him and Erine. He's looking for Richi in the dark of the room. In his heart he prayed that the girl would not be there.
"Aldric."
"Yes. I'm telling the truth. You're the only thing I expected. You're like an addictive substance, making me float in the air. The shadow of your face is in the clouds. I love you, Adeleide."
Erine smiled brightly, then reached out as she felt Hugo was not pulling his waist as it was in the script.
Seeing Hugo who was just silent, Erine took the initiative to bring herself closer.
"I love you too, Aldric."
With Erine boldly on her tiptoes, pulled Hugo's collar and kissed him.
That scene certainly made the other players stumble. That's not in the script.
Another thing with the audience that called out.
Hugo turned his body against the audience. He pushed Erine's neck to make her let go of her kiss. Fortunately, Erine was still holding onto Hugo's shirt. If not, he will fall.
Hugo's sharp gaze made the player who saw it worry and fear if it became a bad ending. Thankfully, the entire audience stood up and applauded.
The red curtain was perfectly closed. The boisterous sound of the dispersed audience was heard.
Hugo violently pushed Erine's body to the floor.
"Hugo, you're so rude." Mira helps Erine stand up while grimacing her wrists that might shift. Players gather around them.
"You're working with him to set me up? Was Laura too? Are you all too?!" Hugo's jolt at everyone there.
"Hugo, lower your voice. A lot of spectators are still in-"
"YOU'RE QUIET!" Hugo's strangling at Mira. The woman was silent pecking got a loud snatch from the man who had been very friendly.
"I don't know what's going on but I think you have other plans." Said another player to Mira.
"Whatchu mean? I don't have any plans!"
"I called Laura but I wasn't active, and then I went to the infirmary, and she wasn't there either." The other law.
"Friends.." Someone appeared from the front door. "Laura, he passed out in the barn."
"What!" Some of them came out to see Laura.
"It turns out to be true, you must have framed Laura so that she would play Adeleide!" One of the other players pointed towards Erine. "You! You intentionally, right! You want to be the main character when the kissing scene has been removed but you did!"
Erine slips. He began to tremble as the gazes of the eyes of the people inside were sharp towards him.
"Don't you be a big Hugo fan!" Another scream and the sounds of justification around sounded.
"No, you misunderstood. I just-." Erine had not yet finished a sentence, she was raided by questions again.
"Then, did you intentionally lock Laura up??"
Erine looked at Mira. He also did not know because he was just told to come a little slower.
"You just go first. I'll take care of it." Mira whispered to Erine. Then the girl came out of there and she had not even changed her clothes. The woman disappeared behind the wall in panic.
Hugo immediately remembered Richi. When the lover talked about how Erine against him, Hugo was not so dizzy because Erine did not do anything suspicious to him. But after this incident, he really believed Richi's words.
Hugo picks up his phone in the bag, calls Richi. Connected but not lifted. He walks around and calls Richi, but she doesn't pick him up.
The girl's last message was to arrive late due to traffic jams. Is Richi still stuck in traffic and not picking up his phone? In my heart, Hugo was expecting that. Hopefully Richi is late and doesn't see him with Erine.
"Excuse me." A woman in the uniform of the cleaning team stood on the doorstep. "I'm sorry, I want to find Mr. Hugo."
"Yes?" Hugo approached the woman.
"Here, I found this phone under the chair. Sorry, I just opened the phone and found the wallpaper with this lady, so I thought it belonged to your acquaintance." The woman handed the lila-colored foldable phone and then lowered her head.
So, Richi's coming? Then where is he? Hugo's coming out. He ran a little looking over here and there. But I didn't find the girl outside.
Hugo knew Richi must have been surprised to see that scene earlier. The man was angry and unsettled.
After tired of searching, Hugo sat down on the corridor bench. He opens Richi's phone, sees what Richi last used and comes out with a 4-minute video.
Hugo's finger is stuck. He wanted to press the play button but just looking at the background of the video Hugo already understood that it was the moment where he and Erine were.. Argha! Hugo can't just shut up. He wants to see the girl.
"Hugo's. Here you look." One of the theater players met him. "The president called us. I think we'll get a present. Come on, there."
Fuck the prize, her inner. "No way, I have business!"
"Ah, here we go, our star."
Hugo looked at his side. There turned out to be the rector and some staff walking behind him.
"Hugo, congratulations, the show was very, very good."
Hugo lowered his head, "Thank you, Rector."
"Let's come with me, I have something to say."
The Rector walked with a few people behind him. Hugo complains of being upset, having to refrain from seeing Richi for something unimportant.
...🦋...
A red car with fake plates was parked not far from Blackhole. In it, the Fox team was already waiting. Even though they are confused about what to wait for. The plan will run in four hours.
"Hugo called." Clair points his phone screen at Richi, but the girl keeps looking out the window.
Seeing Richi's response, Clair doesn't pick him up. He knew the girl must be in trouble. But he does not want to ask because he knows, in a relationship there will always be problems both small and big.
Since then Richi looked at a woman who was fighting with a man. Maybe they're actually dating but again in trouble. Just like her.
"How are you and Daren?" Bella opened the conversation with Olivia next to her.
"Eitherway. I'm resigned. Our differences are very prominent. His father even threatened Mother. Of course I'm not silent anymore."
"What joining Valiant cannot be called a proud achievement? If he knows, shouldn't he be happy?" Clair asked as he chewed his food.
"Take it he knows. Then, you think he's proud his son married his former maid's son?"
"Well, it's heavy, Liv. But funny too. Mother raised you and Daren together in different places. Know that you're in love." Chirps Bella.
"Not funny at all! You didn't look at my brain until it curled up thinking that, huh? You laugh at my suffering."
Clair and Bella are getting worse. In contrast to Richi whose eyes continue to look towards lovers who are still fighting.
"I heard lately that Daren's been forced to take drugs." Call Olivia again.
"Is Daren sick?" Ask Bella.
"No. But strangely the drug had to be injected. Daren until held his hands and feet, then when almost injected, one of his legs managed to escape and kick his guard until the injection fell. Surprisingly, the medicinal liquid was black and the guard said, the medicine was for Daren to follow." Olivia.
"Crazy. Black liquid to make Daren according? I think his father's a little..." Clair no longer continued his words.
"That's. I asked him to be careful. Who knows when Daren falls asleep, they take a chance. Daren doesn't even want to eat because she's worried about her food being mixed with drugs."
"Direful. If I were Daren, I'd run away from that family." Bella Sahut.
"Hm, you're right. That was also what Daren and his housekeeper wanted to do very much. He always fails."
"Poor Daren."
"But I've been thinking that Daren and I have to make it easy."
"really. Don't complicate your life. There are still a lot of men who will shout" Bella's sentence came to a halt as Richi quickly got out of the car. Olivia and the others were stunned to see Richi rush out while running.
Their eyes headed towards the direction Richi was running. Is it the quarrel between women and men that made Richi moved?
