Debt That Grew While People Slept
Mrs. Sari opened the folder and arranged the first page so it faced Bobby. Her smile was as gentle as that of an aid worker offering social assistance, but her fingers continued holding down the corner of the report so Bobby would not immediately see the commission page.“The program is growing much faster than expected,” she said. “Applicants are coming from markets, terminals, factory districts, and neighborhoods populated by night workers.”Bobby was not interested in enthusiasm. The gold pen moved slowly between his fingers.“Number of applicants.”“Two hundred and thirty-seven people in three days.”“Average deposit.”“Around eleven million.”“Most active areas.”Mrs. Sari adjusted her glasses.“The sout
A Building That Sold an Image
The Malone Corporation building stood in the heart of Wada City’s business district, with dark glass walls and a silver logo rising two stories high. From the outside, the company looked like a modern financial institution built on discipline, growth, and trust.Its main lobby was filled with photographs of charity events, business awards, and large slogans about community empowerment. One wall displayed a picture of Bobby Malone distributing food supplies to local residents, while another corner held a plaque that read, Family Growth Partner of Wada City.Front office employees were trained to call every customer a partner. Words such as debtor, delinquent borrower, and seizure were never used in the public area.The head receptionist, a woman named Clara, sat upright behind the marble desk. Her gaze always dropped to a visitor’s shoes and clothing before reaching their face. However, her smile immediately became warm whenever she noticed an expensive watch, a corporate folder, or a
A Secret Unworthy of Becoming a Weapon
Regina looked at Toby for several seconds before answering. She seemed to consider whether the question should be discussed in front of Peter and Mr. Wong, but her confidence gradually returned as the pain continued to fade.“Bobby is not as exceptional as the image he created,” she finally said. “He trusts too much in his appearance, his family name, and the way he speaks.”Toby moved closer with excessive curiosity.“You mean he is only good at boasting?”Regina gave a crooked smile. She said Bobby often exaggerated his personal abilities, as though every woman would be impressed simply because he entered a room wearing expensive clothes and spoke with confidence.Toby laughed.“So all those impressive stories were nonsense?”“More or less.”Regina’s
A Relationship Calculated in Money
Toby looked at Regina with curiosity he no longer tried to hide. Her statement about profit made him forget that only minutes earlier he had been panicking over her condition.“What do you mean?” he asked. “What benefit are you waiting to receive from Bobby?”Regina leaned back against the examination chair. Her face was still pale, but the reduction in pain had made her voice steadier.“Bobby always talks about the future,” she said. “Not a small future. He promises position, access, a house, and a life where I no longer have to struggle through filming schedules until midnight.”Toby stepped half a pace closer.“Because of Sandra Steel?”Regina did not answer immediately. She looked at Peter, who was counting the used needles before placing them into the sharps container.Peter
The Name That Slipped Out
Bobby’s name left Regina’s mouth while Peter was still maintaining the final point. The small change immediately appeared in her pulse, which had begun to calm but tightened again the moment the name was mentioned.Toby, who had been standing nearby with an anxious expression, felt he had finally found the main cause.“I told you, Miss Regina always gets angry after speaking with Bobby. Every time she takes one of his calls, she cannot sleep properly afterward.”“Be quiet, Toby,” Regina said.Peter did not turn toward him. He continued checking Regina’s pulse and made sure the change did not develop into a stronger reaction.“Do not argue while the treatment is still in progress,” he said. “Emotional stress and lack of sleep can worsen the pain and make recovery more difficult. However, they are not the only causes of a
Every Point Had to Be Explained
Peter found the stagnation more severe than his initial assessment suggested. He did not connect the problem to morality or personal relationships. Illness, exhaustion, medication, stress, and an unhealthy routine could all make it difficult for the body to recover.He explained that the next point was closer to Regina’s lower abdomen. The area required the covering to be adjusted and her consent to be obtained again before he touched her.Regina immediately became tense.“Is there no other way?”“There are supporting points,” Peter replied, “but they may not be enough for the pain you are experiencing now.”He indicated the general location without opening the covering. He explained which parts of her body would remain covered, who would remain in the room, and that she had the right to refuse.Toby tried to decide o
