Long enough Naomi spent time in the bathroom by soaking in warm water to relieve fatigue, after a day of activity. Think about where to find your next job.
“I can't possibly let my life end in the hands of Mr. Adrian, right?”
He turned his head to look at the bathroom ceiling. Imagine the terrible things that might happen to him in the future.
After feeling better, Naomi completes her bathing ritual. Then, open the bathroom door little by little that only fit for his eyes, to see the situation outside.
“It looks like it's safe. Old predator bangka it's out of the room.”
Naomi walked out immediately. He was able to breathe a sigh of relief because Adrian was really not there.
Women rush to lock the door. When going to the closet, his steps stopped when staring at Adrian's picture frame on the nightstand.
"Hey, Mr. .. It looks like you've been reincarnated wrong. Modern times like now are no match for a dictator like you."
Naomi puts back a photo of a smiling Adrian with sunglasses framing her eyes.
"You will be more suitable to be born in the era of the second world war and become soldiers. If that happens, today I'll look at your picture with a wreath."

“Adrian, what's wrong with your forehead? Why bruise?” The mother's greeting broke the reverie of Adrian, who was in the reading room. A room filled with various readings, which became one of his favorite rooms while at home.
“It's okay, Mom. Just banged on the door earlier,” he replied as he rubbed his forehead.
The middle-aged woman approached and chose to sit on the chair right next to her son. “Someone I want to talk to you about.”
“If it's about Naomi adding pepper powder into Erica juice, I don't want to discuss.”
“Good. Although actually Naomi has been very outrageous.” He paused his words with a long breath. “Oh yes, two more days Erica's birthday. Have you prepared a gift for her?”
“Not yet. I'll ask Tina to take care of it.”
Mom nodded her head. “Actually someone wants you to ask, Adrian.”
"What is your relationship with Naomi?"
Hearing the question, Adrian only stared at the mother at a glance, then focused back with the book in his hand.
"I'm sorry mom, Adrian. I know you shouldn't interfere."
"If you realize, why are you still asking," said Adrian.
"Mom only wants what's best for you, is that wrong? Honestly, I spoke to her this morning, and she admitted that she didn't want to marry you. But you're the one who forced her."
Highlight Adrian's sharp eyes immediately aimed at the mother, making the woman feel her body bristling.
“Naomi said so?” ask Adrian.
“Of course. That's why I asked you. If that's the case, why don't you just let go of her and find a more decent woman?”
Adrian breathed a long breath while folding the book in his hand. He put it back on the table. “Sorry, Mom. I'm not going to talk about this. Please leave me alone.”
“But Adrian ... mom only wants the best for her only mother's son. And Naomi is not—”
“I don't want to talk about it, Mom!” cut Adrian fast, making silence created in the room.
Although it seems upset, however, the mother chose not to continue the discussion that might provoke Adrian's anger.
“Alright, mom won't force. I just asked you to think about it.”
The woman got up from her seat and immediately walked out of the room. Leaving Adrian still in his seat.
Adrian's hands were clenched. Mother's words just now kept ringing in her memory.
“Naomi ... does she really want to get away from me?”
