When Flora woke up it was one in the afternoon.
After a stressful night like that, it was understandable that she would be asleep for this long.
Luckily, it was Sunday so she could afford the lazy start.
She lazily pushed herself off the bed and began with her morning chores.
An hour later she sat on her couch with a chocolate pie on her plate. That was going to be her brunch for today.
As she savoured the sweet and tender flavour of the pie her hand reached for the television remote.
Turning the television on she switched to a news channel to catch up with what all happened while she was asleep.
"Henry Gordon, the chairman of Light&Heavy Motors Ltd was found dead in his room this morning.
His body was found in a mutilated state and the motive for this murder is still unknown.
Police Officials have barricaded the area and are now conducting…"
The reporter babbled on.
"What the…"
Flora wanted to express her surprise, but it seed that her action displeasured the chocolate pie in her mouth which wanted her full attention, as a result it got stuck in her windpipe.
Cough! Cough!
A fit of coughing ensued the next mont.
Flora swallowed a couple of glasses of water and finally sighed in relief.
However, her thoughts were still a ss at the mont.
'It was him, right? Otherwise, it doesn't make sense for him to die all of a sudden,' She thought.
An imnse sense of gratefulness started taking form in Flora's heart towards Jin at the mont.
Even though he had saved his life yesterday she had not thought much about it but this action of his had cleared the huge hurdle that was standing in front of her.
She can now make her father's dream a reality without any trouble.
'I don't know how to thank him,' Flora mused after a while.
She didn't even know the guy's na much less his address.
"I hope we et again..." She murmured.
In another part of the city.
Jin and Diana were at the nursing ho.
Jin was still unable to get the required clue about his father and was starting to lose hope now.
After spending so quality ti together with Diana's father at the nursing ho, the two of them left.
"Can you stop at a nearby bank? I need to take out so cash," Diana asked Jin when they were on their way back.
"Sure," Jin changed the car's direction and a while later parked the car next to a bank.
When the car stopped Diana imdiately got out and turned towards Jin while saying, "I'll be back in a jiffy, you can just wait here if you want,"
"Alright," Jin said and busied himself with his phone as he waited for Diana to co.
Ti passed.
"Hey, old lady can't you watch while walking?" A ruckus attracted Jin's attention and he turned his head towards his side to see what was going on.
Just across the street a middle-aged woman who seed to be holding so groceries in both her hands was in an argunt with a few youngster who was in his early 20s.
"I'm watching my path, it's you who are not. Remove those showy headphones of yours if you don't want to keep on colliding with others," The woman replied.
The middle-aged woman's remark made quite a few heads nod in aggreent and also invited a few snickers from here and there.
The youngster felt his ego bruised because of this and he replied strongly, "Shut up you old hag. Both your eyesight and mory have aged and you dare to claim that you were watching your path? Hah! How ridiculous!"
The woman just shook her head seeing this and comnted, "Youngsters these days have no manners at all,"
She bent down to pick up the few items that had fallen due to the earlier collision.
Old as she was, she was unaware of how fragile the ego of young n in today's generation was.
Ah-!
She felt an impact on her left shoulder and the next mont her body fell towards its right.
"Since I have no manners shouldn't it be right for to kick a hag like you? How about it? Liked my kick you bitch?" The young man glared at her in an agitated manner.
The woman was too imrsed in her pain to give any attention to the ramblings of the man.
Seeing the woman not responding to his words but instead crying from the pain sowhat angered the young man.
He felt that she was deliberately ignoring him.
"Looks like you need another kick to get so sense into that old brain of yours," he said and with the intention of kicking her stomach this ti as he approached her.
However, the young man soon felt a hand gripping his shoulders.
He turned around to look but before he could have a better look at the person his face was smashed by the other party.
Fuck!
The young man exclaid and tried to retaliate against the person who had punched him out of nowhere.
Seeing the young man rushing towards him Jin glanced downward.
Jin's right leg then struck the approaching man's leg and disturbed his centre of gravity, the result was sothing anyone could guess, the man fell face first on the ground.
As a cherry on the top, Jin kicked the man in his stomach to completely neutralize him before approaching the woman.
"Let help you ma'am," Jin helped the woman stand up and collect the items that had fallen on the ground before placing them back in her plastic bag.
"T-thank you young man," The woman replied with gratefulness clear in her eyes.
"Do you need help with these items ma'am? There's my car over there. If you're fine with it then I could drop you ho," Seeing her crunched-up eyebrows Jin knew that she was in pain so he suggested helping her out.
"…that would be wonderful," Although a bit ashad the woman agreed to his help.
"Great, let help you cross the road first," Jin helped the woman cross the street and made her sit in his car before carrying her items and placing them in his car's trunk.
"Where's your house ma'am?" Jin asked when he got in.
"It's just a kilotre away from here. If I knew sothing like this would have happened, I would have co in a car rather than preferring to go by walking," the woman replied. Continue your adventure with empire
Jin then initiated so small talks with her while waiting for Diana to co.
A few monts later Diana arrived.
She looked at the situation curiously, and Jin explained everything to her.
From then on, it was Diana who did all the talking with the woman as Jin drove the car towards the woman's apartnt as per her directions.
