Awake on his bed

Tobias was very confused. He had a feeling that he can't point out.

After he heard Maria told him her favorite flower, Tobias suddenly felt strange.

Is it just a coincidence that her name was like his Iya's name? And they had similar favorite flower?

They at the same age also!

Tobias was itching to know everything about her!

He took his phone out from his pocket and called someone. When it ringed, Tobias ended the call.

He thought, what if Maria will know that he was investigating her?

He doesn't want to be on her bad side again!

He crossed out that idea in his mind.

He think of an idea again.

What if he just asked her directly?

No!

What if she's not his Iya?

How could he face her, for so much shame?

So many 'what if's' were running in his mind.

Tobias made his final decision. He will crossed the bridge when he get there.

He picked his phone and dialed again.

"I want you to do something for me."

Maria was doing her job, peacefully. She was really enjoying her work for some reasons.

First, because they paid her a large amount. So much, for being a secretary.

Second, her work was so easy, that she can close her eyes while working.

And lastly, because Tobias never bothered her. Her mind was in peace and her heart was in good condition.

Wanna know why Tobias never bothered her for the last 4 days of this week?

As simple as answering 1+1.

Maria smiled on her own thought. She can't help feeling great when she remembered it.

Charlotte came rushing to his office, while on her way, she threw daggers and knives to Maria's side.

Charlotte pushed open the door and closed it.

Maria think if they'd doing it again like last time.

What else? She just pushed aside her thoughts and continue her work.

She was busy typing when she took a glimpse at the vase, where she put the roses Tobias gave her.

She never know that she was smiling already.

After an hour, the two came out. She pretended not to gave them attention.

"sweetheart, you're amazing."

Charlotte speak to Tobias, but she felt it was meant for her.

Maria remained silent and continue typing.

"you should behave sweetheart, alright? You should kept away from ... mosquito's."

"mosquito's?"

Tobias asked curiously.

"yes, mosquito's bites are itchy, but you won't be the one who's going to be itched, it's the mosquito itself."

Charlotte explained to him, but looking at Maria.

Mosquito?

'Is she comparing me to that insect?'

Maria thought to herself. She tried hard not open her mouth for a retort.

Tobias remained silent but Charlotte continue to talk.

"be careful sweetheart, mosquito's were just around looking for a right time."

'is she not going to leave?'

Maria thought. She want to ignore her but her patience was not long.

She lifted her head and smiled sweetly. Maria looked at Tobias directly before she open her mouth to talk.
