Crowds of reporters soon filled the area around the agency office and of course Toby's house.
News of Toby's mother's tax manipulation through her art gallery began to grace news headlines this morning.
The crowd of journalists was no longer able to escape.
There is guilt in my heart, msski partly said that this is not my fault.
The presence of rizal is just a tool to open up facts from the dark side of Toby's mother. Even his own family did not know.
And I, once again, am the fallout from the events in Toby's life.
"So.. Guess which one you like, huh,?" Tia's voice reminded me of a long list of job offers for me.
"I'm not done yet" Kilahku.
Some job offers are like my criteria. But it seems something is awkward.
Toby is currently losing a lot of work. But I was the one who was flooded with work.
Smell something fishy...
Other than Toby's wife, my life isn't very flashy. Sonia, who replaced me at the 6am event, also started to have a place in the hearts of the audience.
Indirectly, the other side of me is beginning to be forgotten.
I pointed my net at Tia who was busy with her laptop. He must be adorning my social media with candid images that have been spread in various places.
His sometimes gloomy face is a reflection because nothing new can be taken from me, considering my frequency in public places is minimal.
"Have...?" Ask Tia again.
I throw a smile and shake.
"Would it be possible for me to have a discussion with Toby?"
"Of course, but it's not a good moment" Tia took back the paper with a job offer in front of me "Did you know if Toby chose me?"
Not real..
"I need to make a good impression on him" continued Tia who then returned to give me some worksheet and save some others.
"I understand..." I received and put on the leather map that was always available on our living room bookcase.
"For that... Can we leave Toby and me alone until I call you?"
Tia frowned.
"Don't worry, I'll pay your salary with the bonus. And I'll tell you a good story about you" I chalked a smile at the end of the line.
*****
The origin is unclear, the performance is standard and physical flat. Very even...
If I compare myself to the woman who appears in the commercial on the TV screen.
And managers like Tia. I guess he wanted to get Toby by jumping off me.
So anyway, I can't escape my destiny to be a part of Toby.
*****
I counted the bottles in the bar that I started memorizing one by one.
Uhf... Everything is intact..
Ah... There's a new one... A larger bottle with a combination of clear glass and blue.
As I recall the bottle is there with the contents that have been reduced since Toby arrived from Hong Kong.
But now...?
Uhf... The bottle is in the trash.
I turned to the basement where Toby kept his wine collection very attentively.
One.. Two... I began to approach rack by rack, making sure that all the contents were still full. And...
Two empty bottles.
I took a deep breath and breathed it out.
"Problems and Alcohol" I lightly hissed "It could be complicated" I immediately went and looked for Toby when he might have gone home.
Drr... Drrrtg,
"Did you drive Toby home?" I asked Albert who picked up my phone faster than usual.
"I think he should have arrived home, I dropped him off through the back gate of your house"
"Did he have no schedule today"
"She should rest for two more days before her tour in Japan"
"So... Toby must not go where?"
"Can't you find it at home?"
