...Because honestly there is a storm preparing to come from behind....

The bespectacled and blonde-haired man looked a little cold sweat after nearly 45 minutes of sitting in front of Agatha.
He had not expected the great miss to come straight this fast.
"So Jeff, how are you gonna finish this? Don't you think it's too long, usually you can do it in less than 30 minutes. What's up now?" Agatha who had been waiting for me looked impatient.
The man in front of him had been busy in front of his computer screen, trying to do his job.
As long as recruiting Agatha employees is never wrong. All that escapes his selection are the best of the best. Jeffrey was the one he recruited five years ago. He is responsible for securing the company's data base and during this time there has never been a problem that can not be solved by him.
"Sorry, Miss. The external attack this time was completely unexpected so it will take a long time and I am not sure I can recover all the existing data. We're going to lose a lot" he replied slowly.
"You sure?"
"Yes, I'm sorry."
"Alright, from today on I deactivate you from your post until an unspecified time" Agatha's final calmly.
"Miss! M—you mean I was fired?" the man named Jeffrey now looked panicked to the point of rising from his seat.
"No. I said deactivate you, not fire you."
"But my Lady Agatha—, I did nothing wrong, this was all an accident!"
"Accident you said?" agatha asked coldly then threw a loose disc onto the table. "Attack of damage from the external you said, Jeff? I've seen for myself what happened. Intentionally internal infiltration. Now can you explain this to me?"
"D—where did you get this, Miss? Impossible—" nervous the man and looked increasingly pale.
"What's impossible, Jeff? You don't think you're my only best man, do you? If you think so, then you're wrong. You're not the only one,"
"Miss, you can't—"
"What can't?" Agatha leaned her body and looked straight at the now helpless man.
"I can do anything, Jeff, and I'm always serious about all the things I care about. What you report to me is completely different from what's in this free disc. So you wanna say something else?" agatha's voice was so cold with tension that it gave the people in this room a headache.
Joshua and Christ just silently watched everything, both of them did not dare to make a sound in the middle of an atmosphere similar to this interrogation room. Though the intention of Joshua calling his best friend earlier to come here is not like this.
While Agatha's gaze continued to focus and locked onto the blond man before her, Jeffrey himself already looked as lifeless, cold sweat drenching his body and face ashen while looking as if he was trying to think about holding on.
"I'm sorry, miss." said the man at last looking at Agatha with a pleading gaze, but nothing changed from the expression of the great lady.
"alright. It means you're taking the final decision from me, and I'm reminding you once again to be more careful Jeff. Don't play any tricks with me, "after saying that Agatha got out of her seat and left the room with the remnants of the life of that sorry and helpless looking man named Jeffrey.
Joshua and Christ walked following Agatha out and the two simultaneously exhaled a sigh of relief as soon as they closed the door behind them.
"I'm surprised."
"Yes, I understand it's the first time you've seen her like that. Believe me, it's not the worst" Joshua said, "I've always been pounding even though I've seen it so often."
"You're amazing Josh, I hope he won't show that personality at home" joked Christ who got an amused grin from Joshua.
While the woman they were talking about had already stepped far in front of them without looking back.

"Yes, we have to go to Mom's house. You know for yourself, the mother's profession as the best doctor makes it rarely at home," he replied lightly as if nothing had happened while the two men before him were still adapting to the circumstances.
"Don't want to have lunch together first?" bargain Joshua, who then looked at Christ for approval.
"As far as you are" said Christ who is indeed impossible to prohibit.
"Alright, but I want your cooking, Joshie."
"Agatha!"
Smiling broadly Agatha embraced Joshua's arm, "Yes yes, I was just kidding. But I seriously miss your cooking."
Joshua certainly does not feel good with Christ because however his best friend is married now and his attitude can be misunderstood.
"Agatha, don't do that anymore. You're married and she's here, how could you hug me in front of Christ? Oh, my God, I'm sorry Christ."
"He won't be angry, will he?" Agatha turned to her husband who then smiled and nodded.
"I won't be able to anger Josh, and you don't have to worry," the man seemed to be not joking with his words, leaving Joshua confused.
"Let's go, '" Agatha took Joshua out but her footsteps stopped after two steps.
"Come here, Christ, you don't want to go?" she asked him, extending her right hand to her husband.
Christ welcomed the hand and grasped it tightly and began to walk together. It looked strange indeed, but Agatha did not care much less about the gazes of the people. It had been quite her mood upset before this, so now she wanted to improve her mood.

The simple restaurant in the Sevendials became Agatha's favorite and the three of them were already there waiting for a meal.
"I didn't expect you to come here" murmured Christ who stared at the bustling street outside looking out of the glass window.
"It's been a long time since we've both been here. When was the last time it seemed like two years ago," the dreamy Joshua recalled their memories.
"You come here often?" ask Christ curiously. The Agatha he knew didn't like the crowd right?
"Yes, the three of us used to come here almost every day."
"Third? Who else is it with?"
Christ's question seemed to make Joshua realize that he was wrong to say and now the sorry look was directed at Agatha who looked back at him silently.
"Oh that. Um... By the way why is the food out?" joshua tried to divert the question. He realized that continuing would make Agatha's mood worse.
While Agatha looked a little agitated but tried to seem ordinary. Christ was quite aware of the strange atmosphere that emerged from his question. His hand then stretched out to grasp his wife's clenched fingers and smiled as if soothing.
"I like the atmosphere here, come here often with me?" his words made Agatha unexpectedly surprised before finally nodding.
Seeing that Joshua felt relieved and regretted the stupidity of his mouth. It was true that he and Agatha used to come here together but long before that there was always Mikael who came before the young man left the world behind him for good.
