Luci's money was more than three hundred million rupiahs.
The total was obtained from the entire remaining money obtained from Alan, as well as an advance given by Evan's party which was two hundred million rupiahs.
But the money from Evan's side was given in the form of a check, so Luci had to cash it first right?
And the problem now was that Luci didn't carry a lot of cash. Meanwhile, she was still in the area of Evan's company named Folca Hudan.
'I mean it's okay they don't want to drive me home but can they at least give me some cash for the bus? Don't they have twenty-five thousand at this time?' Luci grumbled in her heart.
With heavy steps and mixed thoughts, Luci walked out of the gates of Folca Hudan's company.
In her hands was the binding document that had been signed by her.
The document was genuine, and Luci was grateful. At least with the original, Evan's chances of manipulating Luci were getting less and less.
Even though she didn't know that in the document one of the points had been replaced by Mr. John.
The point said that Luci would have to legally marry Evan in the future if the contractual relationship wasn't strong enough to convince Evan's family that the CEO did have a girlfriend.
"Maybe later I'll check the document again, and study it again," Luci muttered.
The girl was walking very unsteadily. Her cell phone battery had run out, and she didn't have enough money to take the bus to the city park.
With the money she currently had, Luci could only take a bus to the Central Museum in the city. And the distance from the city park – the place where Luci's bicycle was left behind – was still about four kilometers away.
"Huff looks like I have to walk," she whispered back then walked more refreshed to find a bus stop.
Meanwhile, in his room, Evan was still watching out the window.
There was a small spot that the CEO was currently observing. That small spot to others may seem meaningless, namely a dark and shapeless spot.
But for Evan, in the CEO's eyes, that spot could shine so bright and beautiful, like a natural pearl that could provide a ray of light in the darkness of the ocean that Evan had lived in.
The longer the spot was away, the heavier Evan's heart became. To the point that the CEO felt a slight lump and tightness in his chest as if he couldn't breathe.
That small spot was Luci who was currently crossing the road to go away somewhere.
That little spot would mean a lot to Evan, but the CEO would still deny it on many occasions.
Mr. John was seen approaching behind Evan's back. His obedient and disciplined posture stood like a statue formed pale and devoid of spirit.
"Find another jockey! Find whoever you can find! Have a meeting with them! I'm still not sure about that girl," Evan ordered, eyes still not wanting to let go of the void of the night where Luci had been.
"Yes sir. I'll do it right away." Mr. John backed off and started doing his job.
In that stillness and silence, Evan took a deep breath.
Even the pounding in his heart was still thumping especially when he remembered how sweet Luci's lips were.
Something in his body almost bounced back, but before that happened Evan immediately slid into his swivel chair to study the current market index.
"Forget her! You will be able to forget her!" Evan muttered as he opened the monitor screen.
…
Luci walked slowly. The bus she was on had stopped to drop her off.
As Luci had expected, she could only take the bus to Museum Central. And she had to walk another four kilometers.
If she use a bicycle, maybe Luci could do it effortlessly.
Or if Luci had a little more money maybe she could rent a piece of cake around here. So she didn't have to walk like this.
"That's the result of your stupidity. Why don't you ask for a cash payment?" Luci muttered while kicking the pebbles in front of him. She held the binding document tightly against her chest.
Around her, people had gathered to mingle in front of the museum building. They spend time together happily.
At that time Luci looked at the people, who were gathered with friends, with family, and with lovers.
There was a glint of jealousy in Luci's eyes because, friends, family, and lover, she didn't have them at all.
Ah, maybe it's a little different now. Luci already has Spider, her adoptive brother. So didn't Luci have a family now?
After a few seconds, a car stopped beside Luci. She had thought that the car was being driven by a masher.
But when she found a face that she knew well, she changed her gloomy face like a lightless night into a bright facial expression.
The car turned out to belong to Tedy, Hans' step-uncle.
Even though Amy – Tedy's wife – didn't like Luci, Tedy had always been kind to Luci. So she was grateful to have met Tedy when things were so sad.
"What is my girl doing at this time of night? Alone on the road and with no one to accompany you?" Tedy poked his head out the car window and chuckled.
"Come in!" continued Tedy while nodding his face at the empty chair beside him.
Luci nodded. With fast footsteps, she rushed to the empty seat beside Tedy.
"Why did you get here? And where's Sis Amy?" asked Luci after she finished locking the seat belt on her body which was wrapped by the loose t-shirt. She gripped the binding document tightly.
"I just dropped her off at a friend's house. Her friend had just returned from abroad. So it's kind of a welcome celebration," Tedy replied as his hand started to push the car's gear shift.
Tedy was a bespectacled man who had a pleasant and outgoing face.
He had a beard on that friendly face. The beard and Tedy's hair were brown, as dark as his eyes.
Tedy's face was flawless, as smooth as a baby's bottom.
"What are you doing here at this time of night? It's far from your flat right?" Tedy asked, turning the steering wheel to turn a corner.
"Yeah, I have a new mission," Luci answered while holding up the document in the air.
"Is that true? Wow, congratulations. Do you need my services again?" Teddy chuckled. It was a joke to Tedy, but not to Luci.
The one who had made all the disguises for Luci all this time was Tedy. Tedy was kind of an artist. He could make a very real and nice synthetic mask.
Tedy could work in a big company, but because Tedy wanted to spend more time with Amy, he preferred to open a small shop in his house. So when there was a Halloween celebration or someone ordered a mask, then Tedy went to work.
"I don't know, I thought maybe I'd need you again. And I want to talk to you about something." Luci said seriously.
Of course, it was about the mask that Luci had sold to Alan.
So far, Tedy didn't like buying and selling his goods to just anyone.
Tedy had to be sure whether the person was good enough, who would not later abuse the mask he made so real.
If Tedy found out that Luci had sold his mask, would Tedy be angry with Luci?
