Inside the hospital, one of the nurses who attended to Mason yesterday approached him, her worried eyes panned at his body. "Mr. Williams, are you alright?" she asked, looking at the bloodstained on Mason's clothes and the dark circles underneath his eyes.

"I'm fine," Mason replied, glancing at his body. "Though his wounds were almost healed, he couldn't deny the little sting he still felt.

"Are you sure you don't want to get that check?" She asked, hoping Mason would change his mind, but Mason shook his head.

"How's my sister?" he asked, changing the topic, and the nurse's eyes immediately lit up at his question.

"Good news," she said with a smile. "We have been trying to contact you hours ago to inform you that Helen was awake but couldn't get hold of you." the nurse replied, and Mason's eyes widened, remembering he misplaced his cellphone during his accident.

"She's awake?" he asked with a clouded eyes.

The nurse nodded with a smile. "Right now, she's sleeping without needing the oxygen mask."

Mason, who didn't waste time, rushed to Helen's room. The doctor attending to her was there with two females which Mason did not recognize.

"Doctor, I heard my sister was awake," Mason said, and the three figures turned toward him.

"Mr.Williams," the doctor called and nodded in response. "She's responding well to her treatment and is asleep now."

Mason's eyes were flooded with tears as he stared at his sister. Within a day, Helen was looking healthier compared to when he had brought her in.

"Doctor," Mason called, wiping the tears from his eyes. "I have yet to complete the down payment; all I need is more time. I promise to work hard and come up with it. J-Just, please don't stop her treatment," Mason's voice pleaded.

The doctor smiled at Mason. "You don't have to worry about the payment, Mr.Williams. I work for you," He said.

Work for me?

Mason furrowed his brow. "What do you mean, you work for me?" He asked, confused.

"Mas," a feminine voice called, and Mason turned in split seconds, sending a shock of wave down his spine. It's been more than ten years since anyone called him by that name, and the only person who did was his 'Mother!'

Mason's head snapped in the direction of the voice. His gaze landed on the woman whose throbbing hands silenced her sob with tears running down her cheek.

She was standing in elegant clothes, her body decorated with bright diamonds, and a strong aura of wealth surrounded her.

She was the same woman Mason had once called Mom. Mason staggered back at the sight before him. He couldn't believe what was happening. His mother, who he thought was dead, was standing before him. He closed his eyes and opened them, and the figure was still in his front.

"W…what is going on? What the hell is this?" Mason stammered, staring at her beautiful face and the blurry memory of his mother resurfacing.

"It's me, baby, it's mommy," Grace said, stretching her hands, but Mason shrunk away, making more tears roll down her cheek.

"T-This can't be possible!" Mason felt his lungs stretch for air. "T…They told me I can't see you anymore because you were dead!"

"I… It's not true, baby. They took you and Helen away from me. They took my babies from me." her voice cracked. Mason's tears were dropping to the floor as he looked into his mother's eyes, filled with sadness.

"What the fuck is going on today!" Mason half screamed with his finger running through his hair.

What does she mean they took you?

"You left us!" he said, remembering the pain and grief he went through when the orphanage told him he was never going to see his parents because they died in a car crash. "I prayed it wasn't true, but it was on the news."

"No baby, those people manipulated the news," she turned to Helen, who was still sleeping. "You and your sister are the best thing that ever happened to me, and those monsters took you away."

Even though Mason had a thousand questions running through his head and wanted an explanation, He just couldn't do it.

"I can't do this right now," Mason said, moving out of the room. He felt like his head was going to explode. He needed some air and space, so he left the room, ignoring the voices calling behind him.

"Mason, please don't go," he heard his mother say before he exited the room.

"Don't worry, he will come around," said a voice that Mason assumed was the other female beside his mother before exiting the room.

Mason left the hospital, wandering down the street with no particular direction. He still couldn't believe everything that was happening to him, starting from losing his job to his mother, who he was dead, turned out to be alive. He should be happy his mother was alive, but he couldn't comprehend the strange things happening to him.

"You should listen to her side of the story, Mason," a familiar voice said, and Mason turned to see Emoji floating in the air beside him.

"It's you!" Mason muttered. "Excuse me!" Mason called to a man walking down the street. He stared at Mason with furrowed brows and a frown plastered on his face at Mason's torn attire, assisted with the bloodstained.

'What does this madman want from me,' the man muttered. "I don't have any money to give you," the man said before Mason could reply.

"No, not that," Mason replied, shaking his head. "I need to ask you a question. Can you see the Emoji floating in the air?" Mason asked, pointing towards Emoji.

The man's frown deepens. "I knew you were crazy," he said and walked away, leaving Mason dumbfounded.

"I wouldn't blame him," Emoji said, and Mason averted his eyes from the man.

"What?"

"You sounded crazy yourself," Emoji chuckled. "No one can see me except you, Mason."

"There must be a scientific explanation," Mason said.

"If you still doubt It, you can check your account balance from that ATM." Emoji pointed to the machine nearby.

"I can't do that because I don't have an ATM card," Mason said, remembering he never collected his card from the bank and has always gone to this bank to make any deposit or withdrawal.

"What century do you live in, Mason," Emoji said, rolling its eyes. "Then you have to go to the bank."

    After Mason finished shopping, the evening slowly faded into darkness, stretching through the entire city. The night sky was illuminated by the twinkling stars scattered across the universe, and the fresh air made night walks lovely. Inside Mason's room, his eyes caught a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror. Tonight, he opted for a plain but sophisticated look. His figure was in a simple, fitted sleeve that highlighted his form, and the top button was teasingly undone to reveal a hint of his masculine chest. He paired it with tailored black trousers and polished shoes that shine under the soft light.Mason sighs, running his hand through his neat hair, taking a last glance.“Why are you taking so long?!” Helen's voice echoed impatiently through the closed door. “Let me see already!” she muttered, assisted by the soft bang on his door.

"How is your day going?" He turned his gaze to Haley, who was fixated on

  • New Head Manager

    The room was filled with a heated energy that suffocated the entire space. The figures inside glared at each other; one was angry about being fired, while the other was furious about having their authority undermined. This was the first time something like this had ever happened in the shop, and even the staff members outside could hear their voices through the closed door.“What did you just say?!” The madam's voice reverberated, causing the people outside the room to turn toward the door in shock.Emily wiped the tears from her cheeks, feeling the remnants of her pain. For the first time, she could see the madam's composed facade had been shattered, leaving nothing but anger. “You can’t just fire me because you feel threatened,” Emily scoffed as her words dug deeper, and to her satisfaction, she could see the anger in the lady’s reaction.“How dare you! You pathetic bitch!” The madam barks, moving closer to Emily like a predator sizing up its prey. Emily felt a shiver of fear, but s

  • Trouble

    Emily trailed behind the madam as they entered the office, her name elegantly embossed at the top of the door. "Shut the door," the madam commanded. With a nod, Emily complied, closing it firmly to block the curious eyes of the staff lingering outside.Inside the office, the air felt cold, sending a shiver up Emily's spine. The madam, whose expression matched the chilly atmosphere, took her seat. It was clear to Emily that this meeting was not a celebration of her recent sales.“Have a seat,” the madam finally said, gesturing to the empty chair across from her.Without hesitation, Emily adjusted her blouse and settled into the chair, feeling its frame press against her back.The madam, preoccupied with whatever tasks she had, ignored Emily as she rifled through a stack of documents on her desk. After what felt like an eternity of silence, the madam finally lifted her gaze and locked eyes with Emily."You made a big sale today," she said with a furrowed brow. Emily gave a small nod, an

Their attention shifted from the young man in the taxi to Emily, who was bidding a heartfelt goodbye. The smile on her face was contagious, causing some of the staff to chuckle."I think Emily is in love!" one of them teased, prompting the rest to erupt into laughter."I don't blame her, who wouldn't?!" Another voice chimed in, turning everyone's gaze towards her. The girl who had spoken rolled her eyes. "For God's sake, did you see him? He’s tall, handsome, muscular, and crazy rich! I think I’m already pregnant!" she exclaimed, running her hand through her hair.The other colleagues watching her exaggerated expression burst into laughter.
