Victor leaves the meeting. None of those executives voice their objections either. Except for Viona, who immediately rushes after Victor to the next room.
“Hey, Victor! Where are you going?”
Victor answers her as he keeps walking out of the room and heads to the elevator.
“Sorry, I have a problem that I need to solve immediately. If I don’t clear this issue, that Mr. Benigno will be mad at me. Even though he's just a pizza shop owner, some say he has a connection with some mafia.”
But then Victor pauses for a moment right after he touches a button on the elevator, realizing that he doesn’t have enough money to pay his debt to Mr. Benigno.
He has two bank accounts. The one he has used since his college day, which is money he collects by himself. While the other bank account is the money he got solely from his father, William Charles, one of the richest businessmen in the country.
He has saved a stellar amount of money since he rarely used it in the past. However, his father had put on a ban for Victor to use that money right before Victor entered college. It was one of the conditions for his trial.
That is the one bank account he used for the Wedding Anniversary event, right after his father had lifted the ban for him yesterday. The problem now, his father has put the ban again for him as another trial, due to him spending his money recklessly.
What he has now in the other bank account won’t be enough to settle his issue with Mr. Benigno.
Victor returns and approaches Viona. He knows there is no way he can ask for his salary as a CEO while he hasn’t done anything for the company.
“Can I borrow your money?” he asks.
Viona squints her eyes, to hear such a President of the company where she works, is asking to lend him her money.
“Please! I have a debt to Mr Benigno. It’s not much, but I’ve promised him that I’d pay him double.
“How much?” asks Viona.
“Maybe around $800.”
“What? You don’t even have that much money with you?” Viona asks with a contorted face.
“Please, I’ll pay it later as soon as I get my salary.”
Viona’s brows are twitched. It’s indeed that much money is small for her. But she doesn’t have that much money in cash at the moment.
She then gives out her own credit card. However, before Victor takes the card, she immediately pulls it back as she points out her conditions.
“Pay me back double!” she warns.
“Rest assured. For you, I’ll pay it trice,” says Victor as he snatches the card and takes his leave.
“Hey?!” Viona tries to halt him.
But then…
♫♫ Ting! ♫♫
It just so happens that the elevator is open and Victor gets inside.
“Please, handle the meeting for me. I’ll be right back as soon as I…”
Viona doesn’t get to hear all Victor’s words completely as the elevator door is closed. She can only rub her forehead and intends to get back to the meeting room.
But then she realizes she hasn't given Victor the pin number to access her credit card. She tries to call him a few times, but she doesn’t get any response. She rushes to the elevator while she keeps trying to make a call. But she still doesn't get any response.
Even the elevator isn't cooperative enough with her at the moment. Thinking that she is going to wait there for a while, she calls the receptionist at the lobby.
[Yes, mam?]
“Please tell Victor to wait for me at the lobby.”
[Victor?]
“The one who entered the office with me before. Remember? He is our new president.”
[That man? Oh, there he is]
Meanwhile, Victor has just gotten out of the elevator and immediately heads outside. The receptionist lady delivers the message from Viona, trying to hold Victor there.
Victor ignores her and keeps mumbling about Viona being so an annoyance to him. That receptionist isn’t dared to be so pushy knowing that Victor is the president of the company.
And there he is standing on the side of the road, right beside that cheerful and energetic black security girl with curly hair. The girl glances at Victor with a smile. She even bends her body back to take a peek on Victor’s butt openly.
“Damn!” she says.
“What?”
“Nah, it’s nothing. Do you need a taxi, Sir?”
Victor smiles a little as he nods. And so, that girl puts two fingers on her mouth and whistles so loud in a high note simply using her tongue.
“Taxi!” she shouts so loud, much louder than Victor’s shouting before.
The taxi across the street immediately responds to her call and takes a detour toward them.
“Wow, thanks!” says Victor with a smile.
“Don’t mention it,” she replies with a flirting smile.
As the taxi arrives there, Victor opens the door. But suddenly, that security girl pats Victor’s butt openly. It shocks Victor. He turns back with a contorted face.
“Take care, Sweety!”
Victor he can only put a bit of an awkward smile. Seeing the cheerful and jovial character of that security girl, he can’t help but to hide his cringed feeling and gets inside the taxi.
And so, the taxi leaves as Viona is getting out of the lobby.
“Hey, please stop the taxi!” she informs that security girl.
But the security girl looks clueless and the taxi has already left. Viona can only sigh and rubs her forehead. She turns her attention to the left and finds the car they have prepared for Victor is parked there, with the driver busy with a crossword puzzle on a magazine.
“What is it, Mam?” asks the security girl.
“I told you to stop the taxi,” says Viona.
“Do you need a taxi?” the girl asks with a mixed feeling, knowing that Viona is one of the high ranking officials in the company.
“No! I want you to stop that man earlier,” Viona replies as she backs to her phone, trying to call for Victor.
That security girl glances at Viona with a funny face, thinking that the man she just helped before was Viona’s boyfriend. It's indeed that she found Victor a bit attractive despite his messy look. She even starts thinking that Victor looked messy after doing something with Viona.
“Haaa, your boyfriend, huh?” she asks by taunting Viona with a childish smile.
Viona ignores her and keeps waiting for the phone to be answered. But the security girl keeps talking to her, since she sees Viona looking worried to be left by a man.
“I know how hot he is. But you shouldn't worry too much about a guy like him. A woman as beautiful as you can find a much better man easily,” she says.
“What are you talking about? He is the president of our company,” replies Viona.
“Eeeh? President? Why would he take a taxi?!”
Viona leaves her and heads into the lobby without giving any answer. That security girl can only put on a blank face. No matter how good Victor is in her eyes, she can never imagine such a guy with a messy shirt and hair could be the president of Counterbrand.
“Aw, shit!” She mumbles dumbfounded, thinking about what kind of problem she would get later.

Returning the Favor (Extra)
“So, we are going to live here now?” asks Judy, just as she gets out of the car right in front of a humble two-story house. “All of us? Together?” Victor averts his attention to Judy, and immediately, Judy changes her facial expression to her childish one. “Ah, never mind! Come Emma, we need to secure the best room for us.” Emma is still looking so unsure whether to stay living together with them. But Judy insists on taking her. Victor just lets Chappy take all his stuff inside. He just leaves, heading to one shop right next to his new house. There are several people doing some renovation for that shop. And the first thing that catches his interest is the two guys who are now installing a banner with colorful lamps, mentioning La Marca. “So you're really going to revive La Marca, huh?” Victor turns behind, and sees Jimmy coming to him. Yes, this one shop is exactly the same spot where La Marca started, and it is right across the street, in front of Jimmy’s office. “Are you inte

So, Victor stays there for a while, waiting for Lucas to come. Meanwhile, Fazio and Gambino are looking confused by him. “So, you have footage of all his vaccine projects all this time, yet you let him scheme all these bad things on you?” asks Fazio. Victor turns his face to Vincenzo with a stupid look for a moment before giving a reply. “Um, I don’t clearly remember about this footage before. After listening to that old man’s story, only then did I think about it.” “Well, he was just a naive kid that time. He didn’t have the heart to do bad things on others,” says Vincenzo. “Heey!” Victor voices his objection. “No, it’s not about naivety,” Chappy interferes. “I know my bro is a good man. You see, I once tried to rob him, yet he treated me like a brother now.” Gambino just shakes his head with a silly face. “It’s good you want to do something good for others. But you need to understand, you can’t be too good to anyone. Especially in this kind of thing.” “I know!” replies Victor
359 - The Price Of A Trust
On the other hand, the one who hired Lt. Schneider to kill Victor as a fugitive is now having a restless night. Not because he is worried, but simply because he is confused, who killed that fat cop.He is none other than Elijah Miller, the lawyer that Lucas hires, who also has a grudge on Victor.“Could it be that man? No way!”He thinks this might be Lucas’ doing. But he never told Lucas who the police he hired for that scheme. Can’t get enough of his thoughts, he just leaves his house and visits Lucas in the middle of the night.And to add more salt to his bitterness, he finds Lucas seeming to have a peaceful night. That man opens the door for him with sleepy eyes.“What? Can’t you just come later in the morning?”“Damn! Was it really you?” asks Elijah.“What is this?” asks Lucas with a confused face.Elijah pushes the door, and then checks on the situation inside just to make sure there’s no one else beside them. He then asks Lucas to follow him to his car.“Haven't you heard the n

Jimmy immediately whispers to Victor that they don’t need to do anything to defend Emma’s testimonies. Because Emma already finishes her role in clarifying about his memory loss. “Don’t mind them. They are just trying to create a ruckus. It’s clear they have nothing to use against us.” Meanwhile, the judge also tells Elijah to stop bringing that issue, because he sees almost no correlation between that matter with the current case. “Maybe she does this to redeem her past mistake, or maybe not,” says the judge. “Whatever her intention is, all you need to do is to focus on the evidence she brings, and the credibility in her story. Is there anything else you want to ask the witness?” “No, Your Honor!” replies Elijah. Soon after this, the judge adjourned the trial for a while. He asks both Jimmy and Elijah to come to his office. The judge delivers his sermons, advising Jimmy and Elijah not to send the trial into obscurity in order to avoid unnecessary public attention. But sadly, th

Besides that, Jimmy himself already prepared his own arguments to protect Victor from all the accusations.When it is time for him to bring his witness, he asks Vincenzo first, as someone who was hired as Victor’s bodyguard and accompanied Victor to Canada.“I believe it was the same day they found Atkinson’s body. My boss was invited to attend the funeral of his ex-wife. It was shocking news for him. So, without thinking much about that message, we headed to Canada the same day.”“And there was this cab driver, welcoming us by telling us he was sent by the Mayor of the Town of the Blue Mountains, the father of my boss’ ex-wife.”He tells everything about how this mischievous cab driver left them in the nowhere, and how some people came to kill Victor. But of course, Vincenzo didn’t tell the part when he killed them all by himself.“We got separated, so I told

The next two days, Emma receives a package from her sister in Canada. It’s the document about Victor’s medical condition including the CT scan report of his head. At the same time, Mandy also receives a package from Eusebio, containing Victor’s phone that is already busted after he fell to the river. But of course, Jimmy is confident he can still fix the phone, and secures the odd message that Victor received from Emma’s phone number. “How did you get this?” asks Jimmy. “Someone sent it to me from Canada,” replies Mandy. “Who? He must know that I might need this to defend Victor’s case. Who sent it to you?” Before this, Jimmy already learned about some people talking about Eusebio coming back to Indiana. In the end, he only learned that the one being talked about was actually Victor. “Mandy! Are you hiding something from me? Did Eusebio meet with Victor in Canada?” Mandy nods twice with an uninterested face. “He was the one who helped him. He already called me right when he foun
