*Flashback over*
*stressful atmosphere*
Noah
Noah
So you want to say that it is my fault to not get the brakes checked?
Noah
Noah
Miss! You were speeding! And that car which was lost in a horrible accident was brand-new released on the same day!!!
Dona
Dona
*caught* hum...okay I accept that the car crash was my fault but what about the necklace and my wallet which I lost because of you!
Dona
Dona
That... necklace was more precious than your car!!!
Michael
Michael
*shocked* Was...it that expensive?
Dona
Dona
You can't name the value of emotions attached to it.
Michael
Michael
I don't talk in emotions, for me what matters is the money.
Michael
Michael
But the real question is...will you be able to compensate me?
Michael
Michael
Looking at you...it is clear you can't even dream of affording a car like that.
Dona
Dona
*angry* So what... please come to the point.
Dona
Dona
If you want to fire me...just do it. If you know I can't pay you back in money then there is no end to this argument until you find a way in which you want to be compensated.
Dona
Dona
I will take a loan or do something else, but I will make sure to pay you back though the loss I have incurred because of you is irreversible.
Michael
Michael
*smirk* I love your confidence.... let's see how you will pay me.
Michael
Michael
Wait outside...until I make a decision.
*walks out of the meeting room*
Meanwhile Noah and Veronica were waiting for Dona in the office canteen.
Veronica
Veronica
*on call* Hello Aunt! I am in urgent need for a job at your café! Just for the time being, for my friend. She is a really good and well-mannered child.
Noah
Noah
*on call* Hello! This is Noah, I want to apply for a job on behalf of my friend. Ohhh applications are already closed!
Dona
Dona
*joins them*
Dona
Dona
*depressed* I think I will lose this job and end up with a lifetime debt to pay.
Veronica
Veronica
*sad* Don't worry we will find a way to deal with it.
Noah
Noah
But what actually happened between both of you?? He seemed extremely angry with you.
Dona
Dona
*she tells them about the car crash*
Veronica
Veronica
I think he is also wrong in the first place....I mean how can he let you drive. You don't even seem to be reliable. It is clearly his fault I know.
Dona
Dona
*awkward* What does that mean? Are you favouring me or him?
Veronica
Veronica
Ofcourse you!
Noah
Noah
He is partially responsible for what has happened yet he is forcing you to face it alone. What about your loss? He is just so money minded.
Veronica
Veronica
*agrees*
*tring tring*
Dona
Dona
*picks up the call*
Michael
Michael
Meet me in the cabin.
Michael
Michael

Dona
Dona

Dona
Dona

Dona
Dona
*enters the cabin*
Dona
Dona
*😔*
Michael
Michael
You look sad huh?
Dona
Dona
Thanks to you
Dona
Dona
I know you are going to fire me...right?
Michael
Michael
Not actually...but instead I am promoting you to be my personal assistant. *smirk*
Dona
Dona
*mutters* I knew it...you are going to fire me. God-damn it...why can't things go right?
Dona
Dona
*suddenly realized what he said*
Dona
Dona
You...are you really serious or is it a new way to torture other?
Michael
Michael
*laughs* I am certainly not as cruel as you! You didn't even think twice when you left me in that condition.
*Note - he is referring to when the restaurant manager demanded damages while he lost his wallet and phone thanks to a certain somebody(Mr. Thief).*
Dona
Dona
*silent*
Michael
Michael
The cost I incurred will be deducted from your annual salary. And you have to pay just half of the cost of my car. I have already deducted my part from it. That means you have to pay less now.
Michael
Michael
But your debt can completely disappear if you agree to a simple condition.
Dona
Dona
*I don't have a good feeling about it*
Dona
Dona
Go ahead and say it.
Michael
Michael
I want to date you. Be my girlfriend
Dona
Dona
What...are you some kind of pervert who takes advantage of a weak woman?
Michael
Michael
Even if I were a pervert...I have way better choices than you!
Michael
Michael
The thing is my father wants me to settle down with a good woman and take over the company.
Michael
Michael
I don't know how but he came up with such bullshit. So I want you to act as my girlfriend till I find a way out of this bullshit.
Michael
Michael
He wants me to introduce a woman within a week or he will eliminate me from the family and this company. That's why I need your assistance.
Dona
Dona
Aren't you cheating on your father then?
Dona
Dona
He will surely get hurt if he gets to know that you have planned all of this. I personally don't think it is a good idea and you can try to talk things out with him. After all he is your father.
Michael
Michael
I don't want your advice. It is either Yes or no for you. If you can't give me an answer by this evening. I will make sure to make you pay every single penny I lost.
Dona
Dona
*feels the shivers*
Dona
Dona
Okay...I will..let you know.
Michael
Michael
You may leave now.
Dona
Dona
*walks out of the cabin*

Dona
Dona
*pick her things up and leave the office*
Dona's POV
My life is already a mess. Why are things not working out with me. Every day I try to be strong enough to handle myself but why do I have this feeling of emptiness within? What am I supposed to do? I have to support my family ~me, my mom and my little brother. It has been 5 years since my parents divorced. We already have enough debts to pay, if this one is also added to them. I won't be able to pay for the tuition fee of my brother's school. This can't happen. I know it is wrong but I don't have a choice. That man is determined to make it worse. I have to accept his conditions.
*in the evening*
Dona
Dona
*calls him*
Michael
Michael

Dona
Dona
