Look who made it!
It's been 3 days since the boy was admitted to the hospital.
Charlotte's phone rings. She glances at the caller ID and sees Tobias's name displayed on the screen.
Charlotte
Tobias, what's the news?
Tobias
The boy you shot three days ago, he's regained consciousness. He's alive!
Charlotte's eyes are filled with relief.
Charlotte
Where is he now?
Charlotte stands at the entrance of the hospital ward.
Charlotte cautiously approaches the boy's bedside.
Charlotte
I'm sorry.. I don't know how I can redeem myself from what I have done.
Nathan (injured boy)
Who... who are you?
Charlotte
I'm the one who... shot you. I wanted this territory, but I realize now the cost was too high.
Charlotte
I hope, in time, you can forgive me.
The injured boy's expression softens.
Charlotte
I have transferred 1 billion dollars to your account..
Nathan (injured boy)
If you would have asked me for the territory, I would have given it to you...
Charlotte
You can keep it, make sure you look after it well.
Charlotte
How did you own such a huge territory at such a young age?
Nathan (injured boy)
Young? I'm 30.
Charlotte
Anyway if you plan on keeping the territory for yourself it's best you register to the "Under World".
Nathan (injured boy)
Whats that?
Charlotte opens her mouth to respond when her phone vibrates. She checks the caller ID and sees her mother's name flashing on the screen.
Charlotte
I have to take this call. I'll be back.
She steps out of the hospital ward and answers the phone.
Charlotte
Yes, Mother, what is it?
Charlotte's mother's voice fills the line, a hint of excitement in her tone.
Ruth (Charlotte's Mom)
Charlotte, the bridal boutique just received the most exquisite wedding dress! You must come and try it on immediately.
Charlotte
Mother, I'm in the middle of something important. Can't this wait?
Charlotte's mother's voice turns slightly disappointed.
Ruth (Charlotte's Mom)
But darling, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Charlotte
Alright, Mother. I'll be there shortly. Just give me some time.
Charlotte ends her call with her mother. Her phone buzzes once again. She glances at the screen and sees Tobias's name flashing.
Charlotte
Tobias, what's the matter?
Tobias
Your business partners from Korea have returned unexpectedly, and they're requesting an urgent meeting. They're leaving today in a few hours.
Charlotte's brows furrow in concern, realizing the importance of this meeting.
Charlotte
They're back so suddenly. This is not good timing.
What is Charlotte going to choose? Her important business partner or her wedding dress?
