"Does it hurt to get hit by a grenade directly like that?" Biserka clarified her question to Verasha.
Verasha shrugged her shoulders, "You try it yourself! I don't know for sure what I felt when a grenade hit me at that time. But I feel like I've resigned myself to meeting my death," she continued.
"At least you got some experience from that incident, didn't you?" Biserka laughed.
"Yes, a simulation for death." Verasha laughed too.
"Oh anyways, Ver, I heard from Vla you haven't spoken a word since you woke up. Is that true? Why?" Biserka asked again, asking why she didn't want to speak a word and with anyone since she woke up from her coma.
"Because I don't want to. There's no other particular reason," she said and honestly.
"Tch, you're a habit," replied Biserka lazily.
"Biserka, I haven't seen Mataya since I woke up, and she hasn't visited me either. Does she already know that I'm not you?" Verasha asked Biserka back.
"No, she doesn't know yet, judging from the reaction of Vla, who was very angry when she saw me a moment ago," Biserka replied, remembering the previous situation.
"Then why doesn't she visit this room?" Verasha asked again.
"Because something bad happened to him … she was in an accident. She was in a terrible state and lost a lot of blood because of the wounds all over her body that kept oozing blood," Biserka muttered quietly.
"Oh My Gosh! I'm sorry, Bis. I accused him before knowing what situation she was in. How is she doing now?"
Biserka took a deep breath, "Still unconscious and still using the oxygen mask."
"God! I hope she recovers quickly and passes her critical period," said Verasha praying for Mataya's recovery.
"Amen," replied Biserka chimed in Verasha's words for Mataya's recovery.
Verasha's mind suddenly flashed the incident on the night where a grenade explosion hit her. Verasha then remembered someone screaming just before the grenade hit her.
"Bis, I suddenly remembered the night that bad things happened to me."
"You'd better forget it, Ver. So as not to traumatize you."
Verasha shook her head, "That's not what I meant."
Biserka furrowed her brows, "Then what?"
"I remember a mysterious man who shouted at me before the grenade finally hit me," she hissed.
"A mysterious man?" Biserka said, surprised and curious.
The waiting room. CNY Company Headquarters.
Mataya's main headquarters waiting room looks more like a cafe. Again, the ivory white color is decorated with unique art carvings directly carved by famous artists, adding to the elegant impression of this room.
The atmosphere in this place is very calm, plus the scent of lavender room deodorizer wafting in this room makes people who come here feel more calm and relaxed.
Mataya deliberately made the concept of the waiting room at her main headquarters like that. The goal is that she can relax and calm down when she feels bored and tired with all her work.
This room is now occupied by three foreigners who do not have access to Mataya's main headquarters. They are Benvolio, Pavlo, and Callista. Pavlo asked permission to borrow this waiting room from Vla half an hour ago. Vla gave permission and gave this waiting room access card to him.
"Why come here?" Benvolio asked Callista flatly.
"I already told you, Ben. I was following Biserka!" Callista said, annoyed at being asked that question over and over again.
Benvolio looked into Callista's eyes, making sure his sister wasn't lying to him. Callista glared at Benvolio again because she was telling the truth and not lying to him at all.
"You're still hunting the 'monster lair'? Why don't you end all this?" Callista again asked Benvolio.
Benvolio ignored him. He didn't answer Callista's question at all.
"All this mess that's going on because you bothered and tried to find them again, right, Benvolio? You can't go on being selfish like this, Ben. How many people have died and innocent people have lost their lives?"
"If you're stubborn about continuing your investigation, please leave BCIF to me. You can't carry the family business like that, Ben. Papa's business will be ruined if you continue to behave like this."
"The monster lair has power and position that is also strong, Ben. And even stronger than our Constanzo family. You know more about them than I do," continued Callista expressing all her thoughts and opinions to her brother, Benvolio.
"I can take care of both of them. Don't worry, if the time is right, I will give you the full BCIF," said Benvolio briefly without considering all that Callista told to him.
