Adel and Hanna who had arrived at the cafe washed their hands and immediately put on gloves. They start working on orders from customers. Not take to long Floren came. The employees bowed head at Floren.

"I'm here to inform you that Betty has resigned from this cafe. She says she has got a better job and just wishes her the best. Remember, you also have to keep working here and please be professional," said Floren.

"Okay, Mrs. Odilio," replied all the employees.

"Everyone back to work," said Floren.

They got back to work. Hanna suddenly felt bad for Betty and then calling Adel.

"Adel, Betty got out of here because of me," Hanna said.

"It's okay. Don't think about other people, just think about yourself. Let's continue working before boss gets angry," Adel replied.

"Okay," said Hanna.

In the late afternoon, Hanna bought cakes for her family because today she got a salary. She want her family to taste good cakes too.

"I hope my family likes the cakes I buy," Hanna muttered.

Hanna put on her headset and walked towards the train station. While on the way, she sees an incoming message from Victor that only contains an apology that the man blocked her yesterday. She replied to the message.

"I forgive you. Never mind, let's not talk about it anymore. We should probably be friend," said Hanna.

"Okay, Hanna. I'm sorry," Victor replied in the message.

"Yes it's okay," said Hanna.

Hanna saw an incoming message from the Cimi application. She saw Edgar texting her instantly replying to the message.

"I'm on the train, on my way home," Hanna said.

"You weren't picked up?" asked Edgar.

"Who picked me up? I don't have a driver," Hanna replied.

"Okay, I will talk to you later. I also want to walk home after work," said Edgar.

"Oh, okay be careful on the road," Hanna replied.

Hanna put her phone back in her bag. the announcement from the operator at station train arrived. She got off the train and walked towards her house.

In Odilio's Company, Edgar smiled at the photo of Hanna. He wanted to get to know Hanna, but he had to disguise himself. He did not want Hanna to know who he was. Edgar cleared the files on the desk, then he left his room.

"Gustav, I'm going home. If you have any information, please contact me immediately. When you're done, go home Gustav," said Edgar.

"Yes, Mr. Odilio Thank you," replied Gustav.

Edgar walked to his car. When he arrived in front of his car, the car door opened by Rex.

"Mr. Odilio, please come in," said Rex.

Edgar got inside and soon the car started to move. Along the way, Edgar thought of a girl named Hanna. He opened his phone, but there was no message yet.

"Should I text first?" Edgar muttered.

Edgar who was curious sent a message to Hanna.

"Hanna, have you arrived yet?" asked Edgar.

At Silvan's residence, Hanna was gathering with her family and eating their dinner along with the dessert she bought earlier at the cafe.

"Niko, have you applied to university?" asked Louis.

"Yes I'm applying for a scholarship so can help our family finances too," answered Niko.

"Yes you'll find a part-time job later, it's good for your pocket money," said Louis.

"Okay," replied Niko.

"Hanna, you're working is well?" asked Louis.

"Good," Hanna replied.

"Hanna, I know you want to have a boyfriend, but you're still young. So there's no need to rush," said Louis.

"Dad, is it better for Hanna to study like Niko too?" asked Hanna looking at her father with a frightened look.

"I'll let you go to college if you can get a scholarship like Niko and your brain is smart. You're an ordinary school and not getting a scholarship makes it difficult for me to pay for you," answered Louis.

"Okay. Hanna knows Hanna's brain is barely enough," Hanna said in a low tone.

Hanna tried to hold back the tears that came out. She's always compared to Niko, but She's not as smart as Niko.

"Hanna, I'm sorry that our father is always proud of me," Niko muttered.

Niko looked at his sister with a sad look. He knew Hanna had always wanted to go to college, but could not because she could not get a scholarship and her father was against it.

"Finish your meal and then go back to your room. Tomorrow you will be busy with your own business," said Elsa.

"Yes," Nico replied.

"Hanna is done. I'll go first, I'm tired and want to rest," said Hanna.

"Hanna, are you off tomorrow?" Elsa asked.

"Yes. I have a scheduled day off," Hanna replied.

"Okay," Elsa replied.

Hanna went into the kitchen to wash the used dishes, she then walked into the room. She reached into her cell phone and saw there was an incoming message smiling when he saw that it was Edgar who sent the message. Hanna leaned back on her bed and replied to Edgar's text.

"Yes I have arrived home and just finished dinner with my family. Have you had dinner yet?" Hanna asked.

Hanna smiled, but her eyes filled with tears because she was so sad. She smiled back as soon as Edgar's reply came in so quickly.

"I've eaten too. Can I video call you? I just want to know if this is real or not," said Edgar.

"Yes, just use this app?" Hanna asked.

"Yes, Hanna," Edgar replied.

Edgar immediately made a video call making Hanna straighten her hair and wipe her eyes which had been crying. She picked up the call. She was nervous, but she had to look relaxed.

"Hanna," Edgar called making Hanna stare directly at her phone.

Hanna looked at Edgar who she thought was very handsome and looked mature.

"Yes, Edgar," Hanna said softly.

Edgar smiled at Hanna. He saw Hanna's whole face which was so cute she thought it made her swoon.

"Hmm, what do you want to talk about? So we're nervous when we talk like this," said Edgar trying to lighten the mood.

Hanna smiled widely. "Yes. I just saw you on a video call and didn't think you looked handsome. Sorry I'm exaggerating," replied Hanna, scratching the back of her neck that did not itch.

"It's not too much. I don't like posting my real photos on social media like that," said Edgar.

"Everyone has different thoughts, just as comfortable as they are," replied Hanna.

"Hanna, can I ask you something?" asked Edgar.

"Sure," said Hanna.

"Are you busy right now?" asked Edgar.

"I'm not busy. I work in a cafe," Hanna replied.

"I also work as an employee in one company," replied Edgar. He lied because he did not want Hanna to feel inferior.

Edgar looked at the look on Hanna's face which turned annoyed that made him feel bad.

"Edgar, sorry my connection seems a bit bad. We'll continue later," said Hanna.

"Hanna, we just talked. You lied about a bad connection, right? I can still hear and the video quality is still good," replied Edgar.

Hanna was surprised that Edgar was so honest.

"Someone called me," said Hanna, lowering her head.

"Hanna, who's calling?" asked Edgar in a tone that sounded cold to Hanna's ears.

"This is my friend, I want to scold him first, she made a video call too," Hanna answered.

"Hanna, turn off the video call. I'm talking to you," Edgar ordered.

"Yes," Hanna replied.

Hanna was about to hang up the call, but she did not when Edgar kept urging her.

"I want to be friends with you, don't lie like that. Who called?" asked Edgar.

"A girl. She's my friend," Hanna replied, biting her lip.

"Okay," replied Edgar.

"It's so cute when you're lying like this. Okay, let's see what kind of lie you want to be," muttered Edgar with a small smile.

Edgar was tapping Hanna's cellphone. He could see what Hanna was doing from his laptop screen.

"Victor, I think I've heard that name before. I'll ask Gustav later," Edgar muttered.

"Edgar, have you eaten yet?" Hanna asked.

"Why do you have such a sad look on your face? I see the sadness in your eyes," said Edgar.

"My eyes got dust," Hanna replied.

"I'll blow it if you're near," said Edgar, laughing heartily.

"You can't do it, my eyes are not a ballon," Hanna laughed.

Edgar kept looking at Hanna who smiled so sweetly according to him.
