Clara was still stunned, staring at her car which was still in a damaged condition lined up with other cars. She came closer, felt the car, and slowly the memory of the fatal accident came back to her mind.
'Didn't Oskar ask the police to investigate this car?' She wondered.
Anthony who had just come out of Mike's house looked at Clara, who was still standing near where the car was wrecked. The dashing man who was wearing a black suit immediately approached his master's wife.
"Ma'am," he called.
Clara who was lost in thought and turned to look at Anthony. "Yes?"
"Do you want me to take you to the office now? Or do you want to wait for the man to be examined by the doctor?" Antony asked politely.
"I'll wait for the doctor to come. Let me tell Nathan so he won't wait," Clara answered then immediately reached into her small bag and took her phone. She immediately called while walking towards the terrace of the house where there was a wooden chair available complete with a table.
Clara sat there then was approached by a middle-aged man who was probably Mike's father, while the bodyguard and driver waited beside the car.
"Hello, honey," Clara said when she connected with Nathan.
"Hey, why haven't you arrived at the office yet?" asked Nathan over the phone.
"Sorry ... .there was a small incident. I can't go to the office right now," said Clara.
"The incident? Are you all right?"
"I'm fine, honey. My car accidentally hit a motorcyclist, and now the biker is injured. I'm at his house and I'll be there after he's seen a doctor." Clara explained restlessly, couldn't stop thinking about her car being here.
"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you... I can't catch up there because I still have a lot of work to do."
"Yes, honey. It's all right."
"I love you," Nathan said.
"I love you too," Clara said ending in a low and strange feeling. 'No... I don't love you. Michael is always in my heart,' she thought.
Clara hung up the phone. She turned to look at the middle-aged man who was dressed casually and looked a little dirty as he might have been from the auto repair shop.
"Are you Mike's father?" She asked.
"Yes, ma'am. I'm Russell . . Sorry for my son's reckless behavior, so he accidentally hit your car," replied the man angrily.
"It's okay sir. I'm fine anyway, it's your son who got hurt ….soon the doctor will come to treat him," Clara said with a warm smile. She turned her gaze to the used and damaged cars parked in the side yard that looked messy and dirty because that's where the cars will be repaired too.."Sir, may I know about the red car?" She asked.
Russell turned his head to look at the car Clara was pointing at. "It was a car I bought from a man named Danue, it was sold for a very cheap price. That's why I bought it and thought about repairing it..it is a car that has a new price is very expensive ... I think it is repaired, it will be quite profitable if it is bought for a hefty price but far from the beginning I bought it."
Clara was silent. 'Who is Danue, why can this car be sold by him? didn't Michael say back then that this car was being investigated by Oskar and the police?' She wondered.
"Ma'am," Russell called.
"Eh ..." Clara snapped back from her daydream. "Erm....May I know where Danue lives and I want to know who he is and what he does?"
"Of course." Russell stood up. "I'll try to find the business card he gave me. You wait a minute." Russell is coming home soon
Clara nodded, then quietly waited for Russell who was taking a business card. She sat quietly playing with her phone, thinking about what to do after this. She didn't even remember that she had to go to her office to follow Arion's advice.
'Or is this what Arion meant to ask me to head to the office today? and finally I found my car here when it should be under investigation or park or whoever kept it at home Why did they even sell this car until it got here not just to fix it?' Clara began to think hard.
Russell came out of his house, which had a monochromatic white color, and returned to Clara, who was waiting for him on the porch chair. He immediately sat on another chair while handing her a blue business card.
Clara grabbed the business card and began to examine it. the woman frowned as she began to find out what the facts of the business card were.
"Danue Riot from Los Angeles ... He is a collector of used cars or cars damaged in accidents to be auctioned back," she said.
"Yes, ma'am. That's the job..he works a lot with like me and I happen to be very interested in the red car because the selling price is very cheap, even though you know that bringing the red car when it was new must be very expensive," said Russell.
'How come the car is in a receptacle in Los Angeles? Who sold it there?' Clara wondered.
"Do you know anything about the car or are you interested in buying it when I have it fixed?" asked Russell, watching Clara think. ."But I don't think you need to buy a used car like that because the car you're currently driving is very luxurious ... You must be a very rich person."
"No, I'll buy the car," Clara said.
"Really?"
"I bought the same at a very expensive price," said Clara with full confidence.
"Okay then I'll fix the car as soon as possible," said Russell very enthusiastically.
"Do not ... don't do anything to that car," cried Clara, wondering what she should do. 'I think I have to get Nathan involved in this matter so I can quickly find out who sold this car and only the car I can find out who caused the brake failure. this.'
"Ma'am, do you mean you want to buy the car without having it repaired first?" asked Russell in surprise.
"Yeah... Please don't do anything to that car and don't let anyone buy it..my husband and I will be here soon to complete the payment, if we will take the car in such a state," Clara explained very seriously.
Russel was silent for a moment as if in thought, until his gaze shifted to the tow truck that had entered his yard. .saw the motorbike he had repaired, was on top of the tow truck, and looked very damaged. It made him think that he needed a lot of money to repair the motorbike, and to treat his son's sprained leg, and he also needed a lot of money for other things.
"How about it, sir. I'll pay five million dollars for the car. I don't think you have any reason to refuse." Clara made an offer.
"Okay ... you can buy it," Russell agreed immediately.
"I promise, I'll pay for it soon," Clara said with a smile. .)' I had to persuade Nathan to be willing to buy the car even though it was quite expensive. I feel I should buy it because there must be a lot of things that I can find from buying this car. I have to get Nathan to think about finding out what caused the car crash,' she thought.
After finishing talking about the car, Clara entered Russell's house to see Mike's condition who was being examined by the new doctor. She also contacted Nathan to have a little patience waiting for her, because she also had to make sure that Mike got the best treatment.
