Geck.. Geck... Geck...
The sound of the door being knocked.
Marry, who was busy in the kitchen making breakfast, stopped her activities, and rushed to the door to open.
"Just a second!" Exclaims.
Marry opened the door.
"Jeez, Helen, what's wrong?" Marry looks worried, seeing neighbors and also coworkers at the event organizer, coming with a tangled state, while holding a toddler.
"Marry, my son has had a fever for two days, and it hasn't come down. I'm very worried. I can ask you a favor, can you?" Helen shot with her intent and purpose.
"What can I help you with?"
Helen asks Marry for help to replace her to work for an event at Mr. Mars's residence.
Actually Mary was reluctant to help Helen, but, seeing her daughter who looked weak and sick, Mary finally willing to replace Helen's job.
She remembers when Alice was little and sick or she was at work, she always left Alice to the people around her.
Helen hugged Mary tightly and thanked her.
"May be quick to recover for your daughter. Don't think about work first, just focus on your daughter first. Let me replace you." March calms Helen.
Helen passed with a sense of relief, as Mary was willing to take her job.

The event at Mr. Mars' residence is at 5 p.m. However, since ten o'clock in the morning the event employees have come to prepare it.
Marry leaves Alice to Nana, a call to a neighbor's grandmother while still living in her parents' estate, which is now occupied by Sophie and Ben, after they get married.
Nana, who helps and helps him in taking care of the baby. Marry and Sophie had a lot to learn with Nana.
Nana has a granddaughter named William, a doctor, who helped deliver Mary while giving birth to Alice at her home.
William has been considered an older brother by Mary and Sophie. Alice was also close to him.
"Hi, Bob! I'm replacing Helen today." Said Marry when he met Bob, the manager of the workers, and also the assistant of Mrs Ruth, the owner of the event organizer.
Mrs Ruth, still a relative of the wealthy Mars family, and the mother of Terence, a good friend of Marry's in high school.

The party has begun, the guests have arrived. Marry, who worked as a waiter, was in charge of distributing food or drinks to the guests who came to the party.
Looks like Kevin has arrived, with Joe. William and Emily Mars, Kevin's older brother. And they talked to Mr. Morgan and Mrs Vicky Mars.
As Marry was circulating the snack menu tray, someone patted him on the shoulder. Marry jumped, almost dropping the tray and the contents it carried.
"Mary!" Call her.
Suddenly Marry who was shocked, turned his body, and was very surprised.
"Terence's!" He said while lightly hugging his best friend during school.
"What are you doing here? You're a waitress...?" Terence frowned and watched Marry closely.
"Life is like a spin of a wheel, so don't be that surprised, my friend!" Marry patted his friend's shoulder.
"Darling, where am I looking for you!" There was a woman's voice, walking towards them.
Mary looked over and looked at the woman. The woman glared at Marry as if in disbelief.
"Mary!" Call him as if he can't believe what he's seeing.
"Claire..." Marry.
Marry thrust his tray unconsciously at Terence, and hugged Claire, while jumping like a child, making some guests turn their heads towards them.
Marry, Terence, and Claire, have been best friends since they went to school. They were all bright students at school, and got scholarships to attend college. Only, Marry did not send back letters to the university, and had to give up college for taking care of Alice and living life as a mother.
"You're so beautiful, Claire!" Praise Marry.
"Wow... Congratulations to you both!" Marry hugged his two friends in turn.
"Loh, Marry, what are you doing here? Aren't you on clearance?" Greet Mrs Ruth, Marry's superior and Terence's mother.
"I'm replacing Helen. His daughter is sick." Answer Marry.
"You know each other?" Ask Mrs Ruth curiously.
"Mama, this is Marry, my clever friend. Who got a medical scholarship at Stanford University." Cetus Terence's.
"Standford University? Waw! But, why are you still working my way?" Madam Ruth frowned.
"I didn't take it, Madam." Mary answered with a smile.
"I'm sorry, I have to work back." Marry continued, taking the tray in Terence's hands.
"Mary! How can I contact you?" Ask Claire.
"I have a coffee shop across from the hospital, come!" Marry, who kept on passing, continued his work.
Nearby, Kevin steals hear and notices every chatter between Mary, Terence, Claire, and Ruth.
"Stanford medical students didn't get it? Crazy, very brave of him, wasted a rare opportunity. And Terence was his friend? I'll find out." Kevin muttered as he placed the glass on the tray that the party waiter had brought.

Late at night, the guests began to say goodbye to go home. Marry is still at the Mars family residence to clean up the house after the party as usual.
Terence who had just entered the house, after driving Claire back to the hotel, immediately approached Marry, and pulled his arm towards the balcony.
Kevin saw this, he rushed to follow and hid behind the door to the balcony.
"What happened between you?" Terence asked in an urgent voice.
"What do you mean?"
"We didn't take the scholarship, and Justin!"
Marry was silent, staring at the sky decorated with stars.
"Why don't you come to prom night, and disappear without news? I thought you wanted to focus on college. However, in fact, all I've realized the last two years. When I graduated, I searched your name in medical school, but it never was. And when I asked the college, they said, you never returned the files, and you never came." Terence stared intently at Marry.
"And you left Justin. He broke his heart for no apparent reason. What's wrong with you, Marry? What the hell is going on with you?" Desperate Terence.
"I told you, life is like a spinning wheel." Marry replied with a lazy look at Terence.
"Said Mama, you have a child. You're married?" Ask Terence.
Kevin, who steals with a conversation between Terence and Marry, is shocked by Terence's questions about Marry's son and marriage.
"Terence, I'm not married. And that child is God's gift." Mary answered with a smile.
Terence smiled cynically.
"You think you're the Virgin Mary, pregnant without a husband, huh?"
"It can be." Marry shrugged his shoulders.
"Here you go, I must finish this work, so that it won't be too late." Said Marry then while turning his body about to leave the place.
"Mary."
Marry stopped and turned to look at Terence.
"Me and Claire are getting married, and your name and Justin are on our top list." Terence.
Marry just smiled, then left Terence without a word.
Kevin hid behind the door curtain while holding his breath.
He stared at Marry's departure in curiosity.
