Reya was confident in one thing that is her pretending skills, yes there's skills you can acquire by just faking them, but this will only work if you abide by that one rule ' as long as you repeat those magical words * i can do it * in your mind your subconsciousness will register it there by that your brain will take that idea as an insider and send it as a message to every cell in your body which by time you'll find yourself not just pretending to be good at that one thing but you'll be able to master it for real ' of course only by practice and determination a person would be able to make this magic like method works for real.
back to Reya she had already mastered this skill to an extent where she could manage to not let her expression flutter and then be exposed in front of others, she'd rather show a fake confidence look than show her weakness.
Despite the anxiety and nervousness eating her heart slowly Reya's expression didn't change if she's pretending then let her do it till the end.
" Miss Reya is nothing near ordinary" doctor Jo tossed his serious attitude aside as he relaxedly talked to her.
" well this building isn't only about offices my house is in the top floor so you can spend the night there ... "
yet only her glare of displeasure faced his supposed friendly words ' I shouldn't have asked for his help what if he harbor bad intentions towards me ... even if I will die tonight I do not want to be violated before that boohoo ..' Reya's expression changed from glaring to fear.
" don't look at me like that!. it's not like i want things to happen this way too... plus I already have a little girl at home so don't worry, you'll be our guest tonight.. AHEM, that ... why did you suspect something bad might happen to you ?! " doctor Jo finally gave up to his curiosity and asked what he wanted to ask even though he was a bit embarrassed to say it.
" oh it's hard to believe you got a kid hmmm.. you look young which make me doubt your words credibility .. tut tut " scrutinizing her eyes staring at him Reya threw her remark at him.
" tsk you are really waiting to be killed, hahaha.. she's my little sister so she's my little girl in another word , now answer my question "
" was i wrong ? heh... it's obvious a work this suspicious might not have a happy ending beside when i brought it before you accepted my condition without reassuring me of my safety.. to be honest i wasn't certain about the danger i would face but now i'm certain it's nothing like safe job.." looking at him directly Reya added,
" also i concluded that you helping me now is only out of pity ... i wonder if the ones you are working under still have a point of humanity in them ... just like you now " Reya's words made him speechless it was true the job was nothing near safe it could ever kill her if not making her disabled the rest of her life which is far harsher than death in his eyes,
' maybe that's why i pitied her haha.. ' his eyes showed a hint of helplessness and sadness.
Reya who was facing him couldn't understand his sudden silence ' what is he thinking about!? '
" miss Reya does really have a sharp eyes haha... but don't worry i'll make sure to let you meet your family in a good shape again , shall we go now .. it's already late " doctor Jo's words strangely put her heart at ease perhaps that odd feeling she got the first time Reya come here was a false alarm as it might have been the empty surrounding that gave the building that freaky atmosphere.
now in her eyes his image improved a bit at least she no longer fear confronting him ' I wonder what type of job it'd be '
on their way to the elevator Reya strikes up a conversation,
" sir, does the job include killing people?! .. clearly i don't have any fighting skills nor i am flexible enough to move like a dancer... sir.. beside I'm not even able to kill a flying cockroach on my own ..." now that she knows he's not totally a bad person, Reya wasn't Afraid of using few pitiful strategies to squeeze more informations out of him, as her trembling voice sounded his expression did really shake.
" Miss if it was something like that we wouldn't put a poster we will directly hire a professional for the job " sighing deeply doctor Jo added " your imagination must be rich with false scenarios..."
Reya didn't have a chance to retaliate as what he said isn't totally false.
Ding.. the elevator stoped at the top floor after doctor Jo gave her the room card he returned to the elevator " flowers is the room name it's in the last corridor... currently my little sister might be asleep so open it yourself " as he clicked to close the elevator's door Reya shouted " wait .. aren't you coming too??"
" what! you want me to come too?! huh "
" of course no just make sure not to come tonight that'd be better haha... take care Sir " Reya was relieved knowing the man will not spend the night at his house ' but who names rooms by words instead of numbers_sigh_ what am i expecting from a strange person '
inside the <flower> appartement, Reya wasn't able to sleep as she tossed on top of the sofa. even though she's a curious cat she's still respecting other people's privacy that's why she didn't wander in that man's appartement instead she sticked to the couch while using her coat as a blanket.
' will there be really just a little girl sleeping inside one of these rooms? or a bunch of kidnaped kids.. no it might also be kidnaped women! I want to get a blanket yet I'm scared to move around this unfamiliar place .. if just I didn't watch all of these horror movies, ... mom if you didn't meet your daughter tomorrow just pray for me to go to heaven.. amen '
Author: believe me i also mistook her character it turned out she's not just a curious cat but a scaredy-cat too
