The moon began to show its face in the night sky. The city lights began to emit light. A girl walked aimlessly in the crowd. His steps stopped in a garden chair. His feet were tired and his face looked pale. He wiped the sweat on his forehead staring into the sky that night.
'Do I have to go home?' amira's inner current, she held onto her stomach which began to sound asking to be filled. He had been walking for half a day and had not eaten yet, his wallet and mobile phone were left at home.
'I should have asked Adrian to drive me home, ' she said in her heart.
Now his strength to walk back home alone he did not have, although he refused to go home. He lowered his face and let out a long sigh, until the sound of footsteps approached him and stopped right in front of Amira disperse her daydream.
Amira raised her face and looked at a tall man standing before her, smiling in relief to her. He immediately stood up and greeted her.
"Sister?"
"You, why don't you come out with a cell phone? You know now mom and grandpa are worried about you!" nagging Daniel while shaking his waist.
"So why do you know I'm here?" amira asked astonishedly without answering her brother's question.
"Vincent told me, otherwise I'd find you where to try!" grouse Daniel.
Amira frowned in surprise, 'How did Vincent know?' amira looked around her. He suspects Vincent is telling people to follow him.
"Don't care where he knows, the important thing is come home! Mom and Grandpa are waiting for you," Daniel said, embracing his sister's shoulders.
Daniel is contacted by his mother to search for Amira, but he does not find her. Eventually he tried to contact Vincent to help him.
In just a few minutes Vincent knew the location of his brother. He himself was astonished, but he did not want to bother.
Actually Vincent wants to pick up Amira himself, but he cannot leave his place because there is still work that he has not finished. He is forced to ask Daniel to take his place to pick up Amira.
"What actually happened? Why did you run away from home?" daniel asked after he was in the car.
"Do you know about your relationship with Vincent?" terka Daniel's.
Amira just kept quiet and turned her face towards the car window beside her.
'It seems like my guess is correct', Daniel's inner sighed softly and focused on driving his car towards the Lin family residence.

Madam Merina and Grandpa Juan were already waiting for Amira in the living room. The two of them immediately greeted the girl when Daniel brought her home.
"Ami, where are you going. Don't you think we're worried about you here?" nagging Madam Merina to her daughter.
Amira just shut up and turned her face away. He still refuses to talk to his mother, even though he knows his mother and grandfather are worried about him.
"That's it. Let him rest first" Grandpa Juan looked at his grandson's slightly alarming condition.
Madam Merina sighed softly. "I'm sorry Mom, Ami," said Mrs Merina quietly.
Amira's face brightened up a little listening to her mother's words. "Did you approve of our relationship?" tanyanya expectantly.
Madam Merina turned her face away, not answering. "Eat first. You must not have eaten," he turned his daughter's attention.
Amira was forced to obey her mother because her stomach was asking to be filled. During the meal, no one wanted to bring up the matter this morning. Everyone eats in silence. Amira and Daniel felt a little strange.
Moreover, Grandpa Juan also did not say a word, finished his meal and returned to his room.
"Mother, me and Vincent …." Amira tries to open her conversation at the dinner table.
"Finish your meal. I don't want to discuss it at this time," interrupted Madam Merina continuing her meal in silence.
Amira blushes her lips. Daniel, who was beside her, tried to comfort her brother, patting him on the shoulder slowly. "Eat, then rest. Let me calm down first," comfort Daniel in half a whisper. Amira just nodded slowly and continued eating.
After she finished eating, Amira returned to her room. He found Tiffany who was just daydreaming sitting on the bed.
"Why you?" amira approached her friend and sat down next to him.
Tiffany turned her head and breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you home?"
"Have you eaten?" amira asked her best friend because she did not see him come out of the room to eat earlier.
"Already. I'm dieting again" replied Tiffany, holding her flat stomach.
"Huss ... haphazardly, by the way," protested Tiffany and immediately silenced Amira's mouth.
Amira patted Tiffany's hand on her mouth and put it away. "Cih .. Your hands stink," ledek Amira.
"Have a son! Fragrant indeed," protested Tiffany while sniffing her hands.
"What did you just say?" asked Amira who remembered the attitude of her friend earlier.
Tiffany shook her head and tried to smile. "No really. There's nothing. I sleep, I sleep first yes," he said trying to avoid his best friend's question.
'What's with all of them? Why are they all avoiding me?' inner Amira felt strange.

Royal Group Building.
A man was standing in front of a large window in his room. He looked at the starless night sky at this moment. Loosened his tie and let out a long sigh. There was so much fatigue on his face. Several times he breathed slowly. The knock on the door shifted his eyes. "Come in" he answered.
Vincent looked towards the door and turned back to look at the night scene in front of him. Lucas went in and approached his boss.
"Is everything finished?" ask Vincent without looking at Lucas.
"Already, Boss. Most of the old shareholders still support you. They'll still vote for you later at next week's shareholders meeting" Lucas reported.
At the moment Vincent's position is slightly threatened because some small shareholders turned to stab him in the back. They sold some of their shares to Adrian Song, bringing Adrian's shares to Vincent's. Next week will be held a shareholder meeting that will discuss the election of the President Director position which is usually held every five years. Although he knew the old shareholders still sided with him, but he was still worried Adrian would cheat behind him.
Vincent's been trying to rack his brains trying to figure out how to deal with Adrian and stop his cunning ways. He asks Lucas to find out who is still on his side at the moment and who has betrayed him.
"Do you already know the identity of the elders who have sold their shares?" ask Vincent coldly. His eye of an eagle pinched at the night sky in front of him, as if it was about to pounce on the prey he had loved for a long time.
"Already, Boss. As per your orders, they will get the appropriate punishment next week after the meeting, Boss," replied Lucas who was no less cold.
As per Vincent's order, Lucas examined several shareholders who had sold their shares for embezzlement under the Royal Group. Vincent always closes his eyes and only scolds them by asking them to return some of the funds they took, but it turns out that this time they have made the limit of Vincent's patience run out. Lucas has collected all evidence of embezzlement of the company's funds and provided it to the authorities after a shareholder meeting next week.
"What about Jason?" vincent asked Lucas, because since this morning he had not met his brother and best friend.
"I've asked people to find out. He said he was being held captive by Mr Jack at home" Lucas reported.
Vincent sighed softly. He did not expect his own uncle to betray him and lock his own son in the house. He knows his uncle doesn't want Jason to help Vincent at next week's shareholders meeting, as Jason also owns a small share of the Royal Group, but one voice in the meeting meant something to Vincent.
"Boss, you better get some rest. You haven't eaten properly all day, do I want to order food for you?" asked Lucas who worried Vincent because since all day his boss was only eating some bribes from the food he provided earlier.
Vincent turned around and looked at Lucas, smiling faintly. "no need. I'm going home. You also go home and rest" Vincent said and approached Lucas, patting him on the shoulder softly. He walked past Lucas and out of his room.
Lucas breathed a slow sigh. He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out his phone, then typed a message to someone who could persuade his boss to eat. That person was Amira Lin.

Vincent exits the Royal Group Building and picks up his parked car in front of the lobby. He got into his car and was about to start his car engine, but his intention was stopped when he heard the incoming tone on his phone.
Vincent took the phone out of his coat pocket and read a message that went into his phone.

A smile was engraved on Vincent's face as he read the message. Quickly, he replied to his message and started his car engine, driving it down the street to his docked heart.
