Theo growled in annoyance as he put the first mouthful of the food into his mouth. Salty, sweet, and bitter mixed into one. His eyes looked at Nic and he knew that his best friend was holding a laugh behind his flat face.
Damnnnn, Nic must have invited me to dinner to prank me. - Theo said in his heart.
“How's Theo? What do you think of Aunty cuisine?” paula asked as she looked towards Theo.
“Hmmm .. tasty Aunty. Where did Aunty learn to cook?” theo replied as he continued to chew his food. He can't get it out there.
“Aunty learned from many books, from the internet, and from Aunty's own knowledge. If you like it, Aunty will pack it for you to take home yes.”
Glendeck …
Brought home? Ohhh no! - Inner Theo.
Nic gestured for Theo to accept him. While Theo who is still upset with Nic wants to repay Nic's actions.
“No need, Aunty. Pity later Nic does not eat, especially Nic always tells me that he really likes Aunty cuisine,” praise Theo while smiling smirk towards Nic, making Nic clench his palm under the table.
“If you're worried about that, take it easy. Hearing you say she likes Aunty's cooking, Aunty is very happy and will cook for her every day,” Paula said.
Glendeck …
Now it's Nic's turn to swallow the saliva. He gears at Nic with Mom Paula's cooking, even it looks like he will be affected. While Oscar reasoned to be eating with a client outside, he sat in the car in front of his house while eating a box of fast food that he bought on the way home.
Oscar had to do this. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat Paula's cooking, but he really couldn't. After a long day of work, he had to fight again at the dinner table to finish off Paula's cooking. Otherwise, his beloved wife would be crashing all night.

Bryona was thinking to herself in her bedroom, in a small apartment that only had 3 levels. Each level consists of only 4 units. It has been 2 years he occupied the apartment, yes since his move to Campeche.
At the beginning of Bryona's move to Campeche, Freya offers him to live together at Rodriguez's newly renovated residence. Bryona refused it. He could not continue to receive only the kindness of Freya. He was already very grateful to Freya for taking him out of the Alberto family, giving him a new name and appearance.
Tokk tokk …
Bryona got up from her seat and walked towards the door. He saw from the peephole that was on the door of his apartment.
“Money Jena,” murmured Bryona. He immediately put on his fake body and his glasses. After that, he went back to the door.
“Why did you open the door so long, Bry?” ask Mrs Jena.
“Sorry, I was in the bathroom earlier,” Bryona told a lie. He must open his fake body if he is at home. After all, it was more comfortable for his own body.
“What's the Madam?” bryona asked, fixing the glasses.
“Starting next month, apartment rental fees will go up 25%.”
“T-but Mistress?”
“No buts. You know the cost of maintaining this apartment will increase every year. Other residents also I charge anyway, not just you.
Bryona breathed. He had to find another job, to cover the cost of the lack of rent for his apartment. There's no way he's telling Freya. Without Bryona asking, Freya would have paid for everything. Now it's just Freya's apartment rent that pays. Freya would routinely transfer the rent into Bryona's account along with her salary at the restaurant.
I think I should find some more work. I don't want to burden Freya who has been too good to me. - inner Bryona.

“Nic! Dad doesn't want to know. You're 25 years old. It's time you took over G-Corp,” while eating bread besides him, Oscar started lecturing.
“But Dad ... I really don't like the business world.”
“You are Dad's only son. If it wasn't you, who else would have continued G-Corp? Or do you want to give a grandson to Daddy?” oscar said that made Paula's eyes suddenly glow.
“Goodies? I want me to. When are you going to make it, Nic?” Paula showed her happy face.
“If Dad and Mom want me to give you a grandchild, you better let me have a vacation. Who knew I would meet this heart lover, soul mate,”, said Nic who immediately got a blow on his head.
“Fill your brain it's just a vacation. In the last 1 month alone, how many times have you asked permission for a vacation?” grumbling Oscar.
“But Dad knew I liked photography. Tell you what, if I don't get married within 1 year, then I'll hold G-Corp. But during these 1 year, Dad had to free me from all the corporate snares that made my head want to break,” Nic is trying to make a deal with Oscar.
Oscar seemed to think, then devoured his bread back, “Alright, 1 year. Remember only 1 year. If you do not get married. Dad make sure you'll enjoy G-Corp for the rest of your life .. and Dad will find you a wife,” a thin grin appears on Oscar's face, making Nic feel like he's done a fatal mistake.
At first he just wanted to run away, but if later he would be betrothed, all his plans would fall apart. However, he is determined to become a successful photographer in 1 year, however.
“Okay, deal!” they both shake hands, with Paula as the witness. The two stared at each other with sharp gazes as if wanting to stab at each other.
“Already, already looking at each other,” Paula's speech disperse their views. Oscar and Nic look straight at Paula.
“What? You two are both men, do not deserve to linger with each other. Dad, what if we just looked at each other?” paula asked as she rolled the corner of her eye.
“Ah, I love it when it comes to face to face with you, honey. Let's continue,” Oscar immediately took Paula's hand towards their bedroom. Nic just looked and furrowed his brows. He knew what Dad Oscar and Mom Paula were going to do in the room. He finished his breakfast and went to G-Corp. He wanted to tell Theo this good news.

It has been 1 week Bryona tried to find a job, but he still did not get it. He only did it on certain days, when he could get home from the restaurant quickly.
Now he opens his phone, looks back at job applications, but nothing fits his criteria.
Bryona decides to leave the apartment. He walked along the sidewalk full of shops, who knows someone who put up job vacancies, but nil.
At a crossroads, he saw a man shooting a woman. The woman looks glamorous and eccentric, you can be sure she is a model. The photographer was without difficulty because he did everything by himself. Suddenly an idea popped up inside Bryona's head, he walked over.
Unasked, Bryona helped the Photographer to lay down the lamp. The photographer smiled at what Bryona was doing. After the photo session was over, the photographer approached Bryona.
“Thank you for your help. My name is Nicho. Do you want to work with me?”
