THE FORTUNATES

UNEXPECTED NEWS

Seeing Beatrice still carried away in her tears, Sam marginalizes his car near a park not far from Beatrice's coffee shop. The man then got out of the car and waited for him on a concrete bench not far from where he parked the car. Sam let Beatrice finish her crying there, she could not bear to see such a deep sadness emanating from the face of the woman she was serving.

Almost an hour later Beatrice dissolved in her grief, lamenting the wounds that had struck her heart so deeply. There were a lot of things he wanted to ask Kendrick, but he couldn't open his mouth.

“ Sam, come! “ Shouted Beatrice from inside the car calling male – men who are still sitting in the same place, waiting for him to calm his wounded heart.

“ Does Madam need this? “ The man held out the sunglasses he had just taken from the car dashboard drawer.

“ Thank you Sam. “ Beatrice welcomes Sam's hand and receives the glasses and wears them.

Not long after the car that Beatrice was riding in was seen parked in front of the Coffee Shop, the woman immediately got out of the car and did not remove her sunglasses. By the time he entered the store, Tessa had already greeted him with a carefree face.

“ Brother Beatrice, someone has been waiting for Brother since. “ Said Tessa excited.

“ Who's Test? “ Ask Beatrice briefly. Tessa then pointed towards the long-haired woman sitting right in the corner of the room, Hera's favorite spot during a visit. Beatrice took a deep breath, as she looked at the woman who had been waiting for her there. A little trepidation he approached the woman, but he tried to look strong against her. Yes, Regina Altair.

“ Are you looking for me? “ Said Beatrice flat as she approached Regina.

Some visitors were seen observing the two women with astonished, curious looks and some were amazed. Some feel happy because they can see the beautiful face of Regina directly.

“ Sit down, because maybe your legs will limp if you stand too long. “ With cynical Regina chimed in Beatrice's question. The woman obeyed Regina's words even if she was forced to.

Regina was seen reaching into something from inside her expensive bag, then thrusting it in front of Beatrice who was sitting right in front of her. The black men's watch that looked so familiar to Beatrice. While Beatrice breathed heavily, her eyes were – glasses but she was helped by sunglasses perched on her nose.

“ I want to return this, it looks like Kendrick left it last night. “ By accident Regina made Beatrice angry.

“ Why not return it directly to him? “ Although his voice vibrates Beatrice still tries harder.

“ Oh?  So you know we were together last night? “ Regina further angers Beatrice

“ Didn't you come to show off your togetherness last night? “ With cynical Beatrice responds to Regina.

“ Hahaha, not so Madam. I just wanted to remind you not to be so confident. You're not who – is to Kendrick. “ The woman whispered cunningly right into Beatrice's ear.

Beatrice simply clenched her hands together firmly, trying to contain everything that was raging within her. Beatrice's heart grew increasingly sliced, her cries almost unstoppable but she tried to hold him back from spilling in front of the woman.

“ Alright, I'm leaving. “ Regina immediately left the place when she did not hear any response from Beatrice.

While the woman whose heart is injured and is not good – is fine it looks careless to move from the chair to the pantry. Sam tailed him from behind, he was right – stand guard afraid if Beatrice did anything bad to herself.

When Beatarice had entered the pantry her body drooped limp on the floor, her cries were soaring but without a sound. Some employees in the kitchen panicked to see Beatrice tearfully behind her sunglasses.

“ Sam, take me away Sam! Get me out of here, Sam. “ Raung Beatrice while reaching for Sam's arm right near her.
