"Damn it, you pervert!" exclaim Flora upset.
"I'm just a pervert to you Flora, come on and take a shower. I want to see you."
"So you're doing a video call just want-" Flora didn't want to continue.
Charles just chuckled. "Come on Babe, take a quick shower!"
"Ahhhh you, Charles!" flora shouted and immediately closed her call.
He went to the bathroom ignoring Charles' constant phone calls.

The night breeze felt pierced into the entire organs of the man who was currently silent standing on the balcony of his room.
Charles had to go to Brooklyn at Marline's request, which he could not refuse. Charles was very rare to go home to the mansion of his parents, especially when Charles was engaged to Renatta.
"You haven't slept?"
Charles regained his senses from his daydream as a soft voice greeted him. Charles turned his body to look at the person behind him.
"I don't want to sleep yet, Mom" replied Charles smiling sweetly.
Marline approached Charles, he had always missed this son. Marline stared gently at Charles' bead eyes with affection.
"What's up, Charles? What are you thinking?" Marline stroked his son's sturdy arm.
Charles took his breath. "No Mom, I'm just enjoying the night air here. Because I haven't felt that for a long time."
Marline stepped her foot past Charles. The two women's hands clung to the balcony railing, staring straight at the garden behind the mansion.
"Frequently come back here Charles, Mommy often feels lonely after you leave" Marline said, sadly.
Charles feels guilty to Marline, but he is now an adult and can manage his own life. He wanted to do something without interference from both parents including living with his parents Charles was reluctant. Not because he didn't want to live with them, but there was one thing that made Charles choose to live in Manhattan, in his penthouse.
"Hurry to marry Charles, Mommy wants to quickly have grandchildren. It felt so happy to imagine that, surely this mansion would not feel lonely anymore." Marline turned her body around looking at Charles expectantly.
While Charles was silent, he looked at Marline with an unreadable gaze.
"I haven't thought of it yet Mom" Charles said softly.
Seen Marline was disappointed at the answer of his son, especially what was actually awaited by Charles. Though he already has it all, besides that soon he will be even 30 years old.
"Are you sure of what you said?" ask Marline. Charles only raised both eyebrows.
"Do you really not love Renatta?" continued.
Charles was still faithfully silent, he only smiled slightly at Marline.
Seen Marline exhaling roughly, he was used to Charles' cold demeanor.
"Sleep Charles, it's night. Good night, Son." Marline decides to return to her room, as it is useless to talk to Charles who is too indifferent.
"Good night, Mom!" charles stared back at Marline's back away. Charles turned his body to gaze towards the back garden of the vast mansion, he remembered every word the mother had said. However, he thought there was no need to answer the question he had already answered before.

At this time he will go to college which of course will be delivered by Thomas, who is already on stand by in the lobby, always like that every day.
Flora stepped into the lobby, where she found Thomas smiling at her.
"Good morning Miss Flora" said Thomas.
"Good morning Thom, emmm... The matter of that time I'm sorry, yes, I don't know if Charles will be that angry with you" Flora said regretfully.
Thomas smiles. "It's okay, Miss, I'll behave like that in Mr. Charles' position."
Flora's frowning frown did not understand, but she did not care. He must leave for his school immediately.
"Well, Thom, we're going to college."
"You're not working?" ask Thomas.
"Later in the afternoon, now I'm going to college," explained Flora who was assumed to understand by Thomas.
They walk out of the apartment, and Thomas runs to park his car after opening the door for Flora.

Flora filled her free time to stay in the campus dining hall accompanied by Renatta and Anin who continued to babble talking and commenting on everyone who passed by in a style that they thought was strange.
"See, it's Anatasha, right? I heard that she failed several times when she registered herself as a Victoria's secret model" whispered Renatta.
"I feel like I want to laugh out loud, doesn't he have glass in his house? No wonder he failed, look at his face, it was full of falsehoods!" sahut Anin accompanied by Renatta's loud laughter.
While Flora only smiled slightly and shook her head, it was true that talking about others was very pleasant. Moreover, lately Flora has never been fully assembled like this, it feels very pleasant.
In the midst of those laughing, Renatta's phone rang and he looked very happy to know who called him.
"Hallo Charles" said Renatta enthusiastically which made Anin and Flora stop her laughter for fear of disturbing her friend's conversation.
"Where are you, honey? Just a moment," Renatta rose from his chair and left Anin and Flora to talk to Charles. Because the conditions of the place are very noisy.
Flora and Anin continued the conversation again, this is how women always talk about anything rather than just being silent.
A few minutes later, Renatta returned with a beautiful smile. This was of course realized by Flora and Anin. "Look at your friend Flo, it looks like she's in puberty again" Anin's circus shook her head. "What's Re, you look so happy?" ask Flora and smile.
"Charles invited me to dinner tonight, arrrghhh. She just got back from Dubai, but she took the time to take me to dinner." Renatta cheered happily.
"H-aahh, Charles just got home?" said Anin glanced at Flora at a glance.
"Good, do the right thing tonight" said Flora.
"You-you mean?" asked Renatta and Anin simultaneously.
"Didn't you miss her so much while she's away in Dubai? Then tonight is your chance to spend a hot night with her" Flora explained innocently.
Anin who was uprooting her drink suddenly choked to hear the words coming out of Flora's mouth.
"W-wh-what?!" yelled Anin rounding his eyes.
"Waw... What is this? My little Flora has grown up and has begun to dare to say such things" Renatta teased. While Flora just smiled a little and played her phone.
