"Why?" Bella looked questioningly. His eyes slowly glanced at the hand of Ben who was busy holding his arm.
Ben quickly let go of his grip. He tries to find a reason to keep Bella with him.
"I-I. want to say something," Ben stuttered.
"Just say it, Ben." Bella approached one step.
Ben was confused as to what to say. His brain seems to be experiencing dysfunction. It turns out that love can have such a severe effect. Ben felt he had to learn more.
"I don't want to tell you my problems. But I had completely forgotten an important memory of my past. I-i-"
"You don't have to feel guilty. People who suffer from multiple personality diseases do. Lucky's appearance is a form of protection given by yourself. It's okay, Ben. We can do it slowly. I'm also trying to find out about your past." Bella accidentally cuts off Ben's speech. He doesn't know Ben just stood by.
"My past?" Ben slowly lowered his head. He suddenly looked grim.
"Are you angry? I did it so I could help you. Wait, did you never find out about your own past?" Bella looked straight at Ben.
"No. I was too scared to find out. Lucky also always tried to get in the way if I was desperate to do it. I don't know the truth of what happened in the past." Ben is still covering up the truth about the previous two psychiatrists killed.
"Do you want to find her with me? Maybe it's better" Bella said. Causing Ben to slightly widen his two eyelids.
"No! Don't do that!" firmly Ben. She doesn't want Bella to be the next murdered psychiatrist.
"Why?" Bella doesn't understand.
"Don't do that. Yeah, well, you better get going. I'll take you home." Ben deliberately changed the subject.
Bella refuses. He didn't want Ben to drive him home. Bella won't let Ben know that Justin is her boyfriend.
"No need, I'll just take a cab." Bella tried to resist.
"Come, Doctor. I don't want to make you angry this time." Ben forced. Deliberately walk first so that Bella is willing to follow.
"Sorry, Ben!" Bella. From behind he had managed to stop a taxi. Then go straight into the back seat.
"Doctor Red!" screech Ben while raising his two hands into the air. Everything happened beyond Ben's expectations. He had no choice but to let Bella go.
Ben had to go back to the company. He deliberately busied himself in order to forget about Bella. But still, about Bella continues to struggle in her brain and heart.
'What did the doctor do with his girlfriend? They must be kissing, right? Are they too.' Ben's mind guessed. It flashed in his shadow about what Brian was doing with Nancy. This made Ben nervous.
'Ah... Doctor Red must have had sex with her boyfriend a lot. Aghh! Awake, Ben. You're just a patient to him.' Ben warned himself.
Ben thought long enough. Until he suddenly remembered Justin's words about love. He calls Jimmy to meet him.
"What's up, Mister?" in a flash Jimmy came straight to Ben's room.
"Can you find a book about love? I need it to do some research on new foods." Ben is lying. What kind of food is based on a recipe for love? His form is not even visible in the eyes.
"Book about love?" Jimmy frowned in wonder. Then he continued, "why would I know?"
"Alright, Sir. I'll be looking for him soon." Jimmy had no choice. After all, arguing with Ben won't result in anything. His boss was very stubborn.

Bella and Justin meet at a cafe on the side of the road. Justin was still wearing office clothes. The man sat next to Bella.
"You can tell me all about your grief." Justin brings Bella into the fold.
"I'm fine." Bella smiled sincerely. Justin then replied by giving a kiss to his forehead. They enjoyed the dishes the waiter had just handed over.
"How's your job?" ask Bella.
"Very good. Lately I've been very close to my boss" Justin replied.
"You mean Ben Mayers?" Bella makes sure. Justin doesn't like Ben very much. He can tell when he hears Justin telling Ben all the bad things.
"Yes!" Justin nodded.
"I don't think you like it" Bella said.
"Indeed right. Me and the other employees never liked Ben. I was actually planning something to remove Ben from the CEO position. I thought, he didn't deserve to hold that position." Justin reveals his bad plan to Ben.
Bella who heard the frown. He didn't understand why Justin did that. "You're why it's so evil" he commented bluntly.
"If you knew how Ben treated his employees, then you'd know how bad he was. Anyway I have a reason, Bella. You should know that Ben's position right now shouldn't be owned by him. Ben is not the original Foodton heir. He's just a stepdaughter of the Mayers family who's lucky." Justin explained at length.
"But you can't do that. What if Ben wasn't who you thought he was?" Bella looked at Justin with the corner of her eye. I don't know why he was suddenly worried about Ben.
"It's okay, Bella. I didn't do it alone. I'm working with Billy Mayers. The original heir of the Mayers family. Some of the Foodton employees will also be with us, and may grow over time" Justin said. Trying to convince Bella.
Bella speaks a thousand languages. Justin looks very serious. Now Bella understands why Ben is trying so hard to heal. It turned out that everything was for the sake of maintaining his position as heir. Bella felt she had to do something.
Drr...

Bella's phone suddenly shook. He got a message from Cecil. His partner prepared everything for the departure to Washington. Bella got up from the seat.
"You want to go?" Justin stood up.
"Yes, I'm sorry, Justin. I'll call you right away, okay." Bella took the time to grasp Justin's fingers.
When he was about to move, Justin was quick to intercept. "Are you angry with me? Because I'm planning something against my boss?" his question. There is a change in Bella's attitude.
"Of course not. I just feel like it's not true. But what you can do, you don't do it alone. So one person like me would definitely not be able to stop," Bella replied. He immediately left the cafe.
Bella walks down the subway station. He stood on the edge of the train tracks. It just so happened that Bella was waiting for Cecil's arrival there.
'Ben must have suffered a lot. He also has no friends. Lucky's right, his life is better than Ben's. I have to do something!' inner Bella while forming a bogem in both hands.
