One blood

Crystal's face went as pale as paper as she realized the great stupidity she had just committed. Because her throat is dry, Crystal then goes to a convenience store to buy her favorite drink and candy before eating at a restaurant, but something bad happens. Crystal forgot that she didn't have any money at all and right now she was very confused and scared because she had opened the seal and drank a can of her favorite soft drink.

"Please Miss." The minimarket cashier asked Crystal to come forward because the person in front of her had already completed the transaction.

Cold sweat immediately flooded all over her body, at this moment Crystal really had no money at all and she didn't know how to pay for the drinks and sweets she had taken off the shelf.

"Miss..."

Crystal gulped, slowly she walked towards the counter with mixed feelings.

"Please Miss," said the cashier again politely.

"Excuse me, may I leave my ID for security at this place?"

The cashier frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I don't have.."

"Combine her groceries with mine." A young man from behind suddenly spoke as he placed a bottle of his drink in front of the cashier, placed next to Crystal's unpaid can of soft drink and candy.

Crystal immediately turned her face to the back, trying to see the figure of the man who had just spoken to the cashier. Her heartbeat was twice as fast as she saw the face of the man who had just saved her.

"You..."

"We meet again, right?"

"Uh."

"It's twenty pounds, sir," said the cashier, interrupting Crystal and Virgo who met again by accident.

Virgo immediately took his wallet out of his pocket and made payment according to the amount the cashier said, seeing the man she refused to exchange names with each other paying for her shopping Crystal felt very guilty and ashamed. Crystal really didn't know what to do right now because she had lost face.

"This is yours," Virgo said quietly as she returned Crystal's drink and candy that she had just finished paying for.

Crystal reached for the soft drink can, which was half full, with trembling hands. "Thank you."

Virgo smiled at Crystal's behavior, because behind them there were already other buyers who wanted to pay Virgo and then asked Crystal to immediately leave the cashier desk.

"Virgo."

Virgo extends his hand towards Crystal confidently, Virgo is sure this time he won't get rejected.

And Virgo's guess was right, with a bit of nervousness Crystal grabbed Virgo's hand and shook her hand for a while before finally pulling her hand back while saying her name in a barely audible voice.

"Who, sorry I didn't hear your voice." Virgo slightly brought his face closer to Crystal, the crowds at the minimarket made him unable to hear Crystal's voice clearly.

"My name is Crystal and thanks for helping me, I really don't know what would have happened to me if you hadn't helped me earlier."

Virgo pursed his lips. "So your name is Crystal?"

Crystal nodded slowly. "Yes."

"That beautiful name suits you very well," Virgo complimented without hesitation, Virgo really showed his interest in Crystal outspoken. His two-week search had paid off.

Crystal immediately straightened up, aware of the danger sign. Since Rose's trap in Melbourne, Crystal's trust in strangers has completely disappeared.

"Sorry, I think I have to go home soon. I don't want to be late getting home," Crystal stuttered, trying to go towards the exit on Virgo's left.

But Virgo, who is determined to chase Crystal, of course doesn't waste his opportunity at this time, with Virgo's attitude shifting his body trying to keep Crystal from leaving.

"What do you want?" asked Crystal hoarsely with both hands already clutching her bag, ready to run if anything untoward happened.

"You owe me fifteen pounds and want to just walk away?"

Crystal's face looks panicked. "Eh..."

"You're not thinking about running away from your responsibilities, are you?" said Virgo again.

"I forgot to bring my wallet and really don't have a single set of money in my bag that's why I..."

"Give me your cell phone number then." Virgo immediately cut Crystal's words at the right time. "Think of it as compensation for the fifteen pounds I paid for your sweets and drinks."

Crystal, who didn't expect that Virgo would ask for her phone number in exchange for the fifteen pounds she spent to pay for the sweets and drinks, slowly took her cell phone out of her bag and said the number slowly for Virgo to save, who seemed to be in a hurry to take out his cellphone when Crystal started to say her cell number.

"Then we're even and I'm going home now," Crystal said again.

But instead of shifting and letting Crystal go, Virgo spread his arms to the side.

"Especially?"

Virgo smiled. "I have to make sure that the cell phone number you gave me is your real cell phone number, so you have to stay here and wait for me to confirm first."

"I'm not a liar!"

"Let's see, are you really an honest person or..."

Virgo's words were interrupted when Crystal's cell phone rang which she had put in her bag, as if not satisfied if it was really a call from her Virgo repeated the call to see if it was the caller. Crystal is her or not. After making sure that Crystal wasn't lying, Virgo slowly lowered his hand from the air with an innocent face.

"Please Miss, you can go now," Virgo said, trying to joke.

Crystal sighed in annoyance, but she couldn't help but leave Virgo. The embarrassing incident at the convenience store made Crystal lose her appetite. With a half run Crystal went to the place where Alonso parked his car, because he was still full, Alonso refused to be invited out of the car by Crystal.

"So fast, madam, did you..."

"Let's go home, I'll just eat at home," Crystal said, hoarsely cutting Alonso's words.

Alonso, who did not know anything, thinned his lips and focused on fastening his seat belt before finally bringing his car back to continue the journey home. And just as Alonso's car left the parking area of ​​the restaurant complex, Virgo appeared without stopping smiling, staring at the screen of his cellphone that he had just used to contact Crystal.

"Crystal, so your name is Crystal. A very beautiful and fitting name for you, my fairy."

Virgo keeps Crystal's phone number under the name 'my little fairy' , the name she has given Crystal since their first meeting.

"Going to dinner at the Wests?" Dario repeated Angeline's words while soaking in the jacuzzi with Clarine who was still angry with her father.

Angelina smiled. "Yeah, Laura invited us over tonight."

"Is there a special Mommy?" asked Clarine curiously.

"Nothing, but Mommy doesn't know either. But about two weeks ago Reagan got married, maybe this dinner has something to do with Reagan's wedding celebration."

"Reagan West got married?!" Clarine shrieked quite loudly.

"Yes, he married a distant relative of Jarvis, his personal assistant in Melbourne," Angeline replied with a smile.

Clarine's fingers in the water clenched into fists, she looked very angry when she found out that this handsome man was married. Reagan West was one of the many reasons Clarine continued her education in London and now the most wanted husband was married. Damn!!!

"As long as there's a trial there's still a chance for me to get Reagan West." Clarine spoke to herself, the seeds of destroying people's homes were really passed down by Angeline well to her.
