"Sir? Hello....." The restaurant's owner, an elderly man with glasses and a plain outfit consisting of a buttoned coat and black pants, is greeted by Rose. As he placed his dish in the oven, Rose cast a wide gaze his way.
"Father? She just arrived here." The female servant addresses her father, who is also his daughter. He slowly circles around to face the new client, adjusting his glasses.
"oh! Please tell me what you would want, Miss." Who was Rose smiling at for no apparent reason, the elderly man queries.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Edward," Rose quickly reads the name tag that was fastened to his coat while he continued to stare in shock.
"Yes, Miss. Shall I bring you some chips?" Edward enquires once again since he was aware that she was the first client to treat him with respect; at the end of the day, everyone else had merely been calling him old guy or geezer. Rose shakes her head and replies, "No, rather, I'd like to talk to you.
While sitting down with Rose and his daughter, Mr. Edward remained silent. Rose served them hot coffee and a plate of freshly baked breads while smiling warmly and sitting in her chair.
After some time, Rose says, "I heard that if you people don't pay the rent, this place will be taken over." She asked, and Mr. Edward sighed and nodded.
"I understand. Why didn't you employ some people to handle the remaining work?" Rose asks with a bewildered gaze.
Edward adds, laying his palm on his thighs, "It's been a while, I had some excellent chats with people, you see my daughter gave up studying and helped me with this still I'm lacking. She is at an age of getting married to a young boy but I am a failure. That's why I didn't hire someone."
"That's not the issue, but let me give you something as a gift to build a really lovely and restful restaurant with quiet classical music," says Rose without meeting his eyes.
When Rose stands up, she notices a beautiful painting of a bewildered girl hanging by the side of the reception. The lady servant remains seated as a statue during the entire time.
After giving it some thought, Rose—"una ragazza confusa" in Italian—discovered that it was a masterpiece to name the picture in Italian.
Mr. Edward explains to Rose in a hushed voice, "my daughter made this when she used to travel to Italy for her violin class.
Rose says, "Wonderful," in a gentle murmur.
Mr. Edward nods and motions for his daughter to follow him home, saying, "I need to go somewhere. It's nice to meet you again." As Rose nods and leaves with the lady servant.
"Keep this a secret because there will be a party here for your father tomorrow; he should be the manager of this establishment. You should also quit this job and get ready for a wedding next week," Rose quickly adds as she dashes out the door, surprising the lady servant.
In preparation for the chilly weather, Liam sits with his arms tucked between his thighs as a guard approaches to keep him company to his modest home.
"What? I swear to God! This floor is a complete mess" Liam yells, putting his palm over his nose.
"Emilo?" Liam yells as he throws open the door to his room and discovers his ex-girlfriend, attractive and half-Mexican, sitting there in a striking black dress with peach lipstick on her lips.
"Liam, please don't shout—the opera is about to begin. You enjoy listening to opera, right? She is well known as the Servant of Singing Opera by Madvus Mant....." Emilo stops talking as she realises Liam was brandishing an MSP Groza silent gun.
"You know I don't usually kill people, but you were just making noise....." Liam pauses, offers Emilo a tiny smirk, and bends down to face her as he observes that she is trembling in terror and on her knees.
"I don't want to see your puppy face right now...." To peer into her eyes, Liam lowers the rifle to her chin. Emilo chokes on her words as she speaks to Liam, "I'm sorry.... I'm here to ask you something," as Liam stands up again and takes his sleeves off.
Liam tells a guard who was waiting at the door to watch over them, "Just take her to the next room." The guard releases the shackles while nodding.
"Why? Wait, you can't do that" As the guard approaches her, Emilo yells as the woman shivers and crawls back to the side of the bed on her hips.
While playing the opera, Liam tells Emilo, "I don't want to hear you crying. Stay in the room. I will come to you with some presents."
On the other hand, Emilo screams while crying, and Liam closes his eyes to focus on the music as the crying voice disappears and a sudden knock on his door comes with the words "we are ready sir."
While turning on the small lamp and turning his attention to the images of the deceased while standing still, Liam maintains silence.
When Liam comes out of his room and enters the room where Emilo is confined, he reloads his gun with bullets, removes his coat, puts on a plain white shirt, and turns out his lamp.
When Liam opens the door wide, he notices that Emilo's dress is torn from the bottom and that her once-beautiful appearance has been reduced to a sham as she raises her head to look into the faces of those who are standing in front of her.
"Did you recall our goal, Emilo? We slaughtered so many people for this to happen, yet the only dirty deed you committed was meeting me while still married to Andrew and giving birth to a tiny fairy." Liam says as he stares at her.
"Is this a prank to death Liam?" Emilo says as she giggles in pain.
