Mark's client's body fell on the cold floor, and that was all because Mark's fist hit his right cheek, causing his body to become unbalanced and end up falling to the floor. This, of course, made the atmosphere even more chaotic, which at first was only whispering about Mark's bride, who never came, but now it has increased with the topic of Mark's behavior in punching one of his own clients.
"Shut up, my friend," Mark warned in a low voice. He also had a scary smirk on his thin lips.
"You insolent Mark! "
"Yes I am. And if you try to make my demon side come back, don't blame me if I separate your head and body! " Mark hissed right in the client's right ear.
Immediately after receiving the warning, Mark looked at the bodyguard who was guarding the ballroom door. "Bodyguards!" called Mark, who immediately made the two bodyguards in front of the ballroom door run into the ballroom, and they were a little surprised to see the conditions in the room, which were not very conducive.
"Take this bastard out! He needs to eat, and the best place for him to eat is to scavenge on the spot until Just like what he's just bragging about! " Mark snapped without paying attention to his words. He was so on the verge of anger. He had not found Amanda and now he was being tested by the damn behavior of one of his clients. Damn it isn't it?
While the client who didn't accept Mark's words stood up with difficulty, he wiped the blood that was flowing at the corner of his torn lip due to the strong bogey from Mark's hand, and he looked at Mark scornfully. "I swear I will not resume our cooperation with Mark! Keep that in mind! "jerked the client, but Mark just chuckled disdainfully.
"It's not me who will be poor if you do that stupid thing. It's you alone, so be prepared to go bankrupt mate. " Mark immediately left the ballroom after replying to the client's words, and he immediately walked to one of the rooms to receive a report from the bodyguards he had assigned to find Amanda.
But what made Mark even more angry was when he accidentally saw two of his bodyguards relaxing drinking wine straight from the bottle in the corner of the room. With wide steps, Mark approached the two bodyguards, and he wordlessly kicked the leg of one of them until he groaned in pain.
"You bastards! How dare you drink here when my reputation is in danger of being ruined? " Mark snapped back, screaming at his bodyguard.
"Sorry, sir, we thought you were assisted by others."
Mark tightened his own jaw when he heard the words of one of his bodyguards, and without a word, Mark threw his hand up to hit the right cheek of one of his bodyguards until a red spot appeared on the corner of the bodyguard's lips. "How dare you?" Mark hissed, accompanied by a passionate breath.
In the midst of the noise, Mark scolded his two bodyguards from the opposite direction. A girl accidentally bumped into Mark's body, making Mark speechless in his anger. Of course, there was no change in Mark's position, but it was inversely proportional to what was experienced by the girl. The girl groaned in pain as she fell to her knees right behind Mark's sturdy body.
Mark turned his body and he looked at the girl in front of him. "You!"
Hey, don't you dare jerk me dammit! You're the one standing shamelessly in the middle of the hallway like this! You think you're the only one living here, huh? "What a brainless bastard!" she snapped at Mark.
While Mark looked at the girl from top to bottom, a lopsided smile tugged at his lips. "Take her!"

"Good morning, world!!" The shrill voice was heard in the ears of the neighbors of the master's house. This kind of welcome has always been heard since the move of a girl named Alana Hazelton to New York City. The girl moved because her current job was in New York, and as a good employee she had to be able to keep up with the current situation, so she didn't refuse when she was told to move.
Alana immediately turned her body after she opened the window and greeted her world that was so warm and colorful. Even though until this moment, Alana was still single, for her it didn't matter, because the most important thing, according to her, was where she could eat well and that's where the word is enough.
In the midst of Alana's happiness in the morning, the girl's cell phone rang loudly. She quickly walked to the pantry because her cellphone was accidentally left there. After getting what she was looking for, Alana immediately shifted the green icon when she read her best friend's name listed on her cellphone screen. "Hi my dear friend Belle, how are you?" said Alana while making breakfast for herself.
"I have good news for you," said Belle, not returning the greeting from her best friend, because every time she returned Alana's greeting, at that moment their speaker would not get to the point, and this morning Belle had to finish her pending work, so in short, she had to talk to her. Alana as soon as possible.
"Good news? What is it? " Alana asked, putting her cell phone down and pressing her shoulder slightly so that the cellphone was squeezed between her head and shoulder. Then her hand grabbed the milk that was in the refrigerator and poured it into the prepared glass.
"The two of us leave."
"What how?" asked Alana, cutting Belle, who hadn't even finished talking. Alana was too happy when discussing leave.
"Listen first," said Belle, with a slightly heavier breath.
"Yes, what?" asked Alana again, closing the milk cover and returning it to its original place, namely the refrigerator.
"Our leave application was approved but only for two days and two nights. How about that?"
Alana raised her glass of milk while her right hand was holding the cellphone, then it shifted from what was originally in her right ear to her left ear. "Only two days and two nights?"
"Yes, that's more than enough and the company can't give you more free time, so how do you agree?" If so, I'll agree to their terms and we can leave this afternoon, "said Belle.
Alana stopped drinking and rubbed the remaining milk around her lips, and she nodded. At least we're on vacation. "Well, it's okay, two days and two nights."
"Good, now prepare yourself to go back to work and take care of files at the office. At lunch time, we will go home to prepare for our departure. You don't need to worry, I have arranged everything. Our agenda for these two days will definitely be very fun."
"Okay, I'll get ready soon. We'll meet at the office, Belle."
"Of course, Alana. Bye."
"Bye." Alana disconnected the phone and she immediately continued her breakfast. Then, after everything was finished, she immediately returned to her minimalist room. She immediately grabbed the file she had to do today to smooth her leave with Belle this afternoon.
After getting what she was looking for, Alana immediately got ready to go to work, not forgetting to look in the mirror for a moment to make sure she was tidy and ready to work well. "You're beautiful, Alana, don't be insecure, it's bad!" he said confidently.
If you look at Alana's face, it can be said that she is very beautiful. Her slender body is very suitable to be Victoria's Secret model. There is only one drawback to Alana, and that is her attitude. She is too happy to make some people who don't really like socializing disturbed by her presence.
Alana is the type of person who can start the topic of conversation first. She likes to talk, and according to her, by talking and expressing everything she feels, her feelings will be relieved, so she won't harbor any feelings for other people, whether it's love or even revenge, so that's a principle for Alana.
Sometimes the 24-year-old girl is insecure about herself because she is often shunned by several employees in her office, which she herself doesn't know why. Only Belle is willing to be Alana's only friend. Alana is very grateful to know Belle. For now, Belle is more than enough for her because Belle is one of the supports in her life. Karen, Alana had only known her mother since childhood and had no idea who her father was, but over time, Alana realized that she didn't need to think about people who didn't even notice her presence. As a result, Alana lives solely with her mother.
But unlucky, Mommy Alana passed away a year ago because of the illness she was suffering from and Alana also couldn't be angry with God who had taken the only family she had, so Alana just hid all her pain deep in her heart and she only showed the joy was too much for him to comfort himself from the old wounds that could be revealed over time.
Alana immediately grabbed her car keys and got out of the minimalist house left by her mother. Alana's car is not a luxury car that costs tens or even hundreds of millions. Alana can only afford an ordinary car that if it can help her activities while commuting to work and other matters, is more than enough for Alana.
Like this time, Alana had time to greet some of the neighboring children of Yangs Edang playing in the garden. "Hi, what are you doing?" Alana asked after lowering her car window so that she could see the three neighboring children more clearly.
"We're waiting for Mommy," one of the three replied.
"Don't play too far or a polar bear will pounce on you!" Alana exclaimed, scaring the three neighboring children, and they nodded obediently at Alana's words.
Alana smiled faintly before she stepped back on the gas pedal to drive to her office. Her lips mumbled, then smiled. His neighbor's kid didn't understand what a polar bear was. "Where's a polar bear in a hot area like New York?" he mumbled, remembering his cocky remarks about polar bears only to frighten his neighbor's kid. It could be that if one of the three children complains to his mother, Alana will clearly be labeled as a girl who spreads misguidance to small children, damn it!
It took a long time for Alana to finally arrive at her office. The girl immediately got down and entered the main office door. She immediately walked to her desk, and a moment after sitting down, she heard a voice from the cubicle beside her. Who else owns that voice if not Belle, her best friend?
"What Belle? Say something! If you really want to say something to me, don't make a sound like that! It's very annoying!" Alana's cursing made Belle chuckle at her work.
Belle finally stood up and put her hands on the barrier between her and Alana's desk. "Hi Alana, I'm sorry I didn't answer your greeting on the phone," said Belle, sincerely apologizing.
Alana nodded her head, and she turned her head to look at Belle. "Belle, do you know your mistake?" asked Alana, who suddenly made Belle silent with knitted brows. What does Alana mean?
"What?" asked Belle, scratching the back of her neck that didn't itch.
"You forgot to bring me hot chocolate this morning," said Alana, pouting her lips at Belle.
"Oh my gosh, calm down. I have something for you." Belle paused her sentence. She grabbed something she had prepared for Alana and, after getting what she was looking for, she gave it to Alana. "Your favorite hot chocolate has arrived," said Belle, continuing her previously delayed speech.
Alana's face immediately turned very excited just because of the hot chocolate. It's very easy, isn't it, to please her? What a cheap mood!
"Wow, thanks Belle, you are my best friend." Belle smiled sweetly at Alana's words, and she nodded in approval of what Alana said, as if it were true.
The two of them finally returned to their respective jobs, where they waited until the hour they had been waiting for arrived. Lunchtime arrived, and now Belle and Alana were getting ready to go home and pack up their things to take them on vacation for two days and two nights.
"Belle" I'm waiting for you at my house, right? " Belle stopped her footsteps that were about to enter the taxi car. She turned her head when she heard Alana's words, then nodded.
"Yeah, I'll be there fifteen minutes before we leave on vacation."
"Good, I'll wait for you at my house."
"Yeah, okay, bye Alana."
"Bye Belle," replied Alana. Right after that, Belle left in the taxi she was riding in while Alana walked towards the parking lot to pick up her car. Alana immediately activated the vehicle and stepped on the gas towards her house again.
Alana immediately entered her room and prepared whatever things she would not bring to use on her next vacation with Belle. Even though it was only two days and two nights, it didn't matter to Alana. For him, it could be healing from various work and life problems that keep coming and going.
