It seems quite easy to understand but Wizart's eyes are getting dizzy reading every comic dialogue. He tries to find fault in comics created by a professional comic writer who is paid for. But Wizart's head is dizzy again reading it.
He quickly closed his eyes as he leaned back in his swivel chair. While the comic book was thrown on the work table. He was giddy thinking about Hillary's comment saying that the comic was so boring to read. It turned out that what he said was true, but there was something that caught his attention after reading the comic.
TOK TOK TOK TOK!
A knock on the door jolted Wizart's break. Quickly he looked toward the door. Arick could be seen pushing the door slowly before standing in front of Wizart's desk.
"Are you looking for me?" He asked in a low tone.
"Yes."
"Why are you looking for me?"
"I want to ask, who is the author of this comic book?" Wizart gives the question. Arick tried to sharpen his eyes to look at the front page of the comic. He knows the author very well.
"Peter Adrison, sir." Answer Arick knows the author's name. Wizart fingers began to rise to his forehead. His expression was very serious.
"Peter Adrison, yes...Okay, fire this comic writer and cancel publication on this boring comic."
"What? But sir...we only have these writers to create comics produced by our company. The others, sir, are the ones who are isolated as sideline writers in the company." Arick was surprised to hear Wizart's decision.
"How can my company make a profit if we keep publishing comics like this? It's not just the storyline that's boring but..." he said, stopping in the middle of a sentence. Arick waited for the continuation of the sentence.
"But what, sir?" Arick wants to know what exactly is causing Wizart's head. Wizart quickly got up from his swivel chair and brought the comic book to Arick. He opened a page that caught his attention earlier.
"Look at this, what do you think it is?" Wizart said giving the book to Arick to read. Page 134 is open for attention. Arick also read the comics on that page.
"I...don't see anything wrong."
"Look hard. Are your eyes fish eyes? You looked at the side character's drawing in the story, what do you think he drew?"
"Oh, here's the seaweed on the rocks." Answered Arick after carefully observing the page. Wizart gave a mysterious smile.
"Correct, sir?" Arick asked confident in his answer. He even smiled happily looking at Wizart in front of him.
"Arick, you have very beautiful eyes but...that's not seaweed on the rock, that's a ghost, stupid! This is a comic book about adventure, suddenly why there's a ghost there?!" Wizart quickly rolled up the comic book and hit Arick's head and his whole body hard. Wizart was quite angry with the drawing in the comic. Unclear and confusing. Arick pain from his punch.
"Now, I want you to do what I told you earlier. And find a professional comic writer who will be useful for our company. Got it?"
"I got it, sir." He said before leaving from there. He was horrified to see Wizart's anger. Afraid of being beaten badly by Wizart later...
The comic that he had rolled up was stared at for quite a long time. The book cover is looked at full of cynicism. What does he want to do with the comic?
Suddenly, Wizart quickly tore the comic book into small pieces. The comic book was destroyed because of it. Then the pieces of comic paper he tore up were thrown into the air. It was like a snowfall made by Wizart in that room. After that, he screamed like a madman. The crazy man is screaming in the office room in the morning.
ARGHHHHHHH!!!!

Wizart instructions were followed immediately by Arick to cancel the contract with a comic writer named Peter Adrison. They met in a quiet room, just the two of them. Sitting opposite each other improves concentration to speak.
"I'm sorry, sir.."
"Why are you apologizing to me? Normally you would call me here to pay my salary. But right now it's the beginning of the month?" It was strange for Peter Adrison to suddenly be asked to come and see him at the company. Without wasting time, Arick immediately took out a white envelope with money inside. He handed it to the comic writer.
"I indeed gave you the salary at the beginning of the month, but this is the last salary from our company," Arick said frankly. Peter Adrison's expression changed when he heard it.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sorry, sir. Some other comic business companies have given a negative view of the comics you make. They say the comics you create are uninteresting. So, we had to terminate your contract from continuing to be a comic writer for our company. "
"What? That's impossible.."
"This is true, sir. Your comic is hurting our company. I hope..sir just forget about your intention to continue the contract with our company." He is a calm man. Arick tried to act like Wizart's behaviour. Calm and sharp words. Arick's bad acting is there.
"But I.."
"There's nothing but, sir. Just accept it and work somewhere else... I'm quite busy today, good luck." He said giving the final word as he quickly got up from the chair.
He tried to walk out of the room leaving Peter Adrison but because he was acting too calm, his foot accidentally hit the bottom of the door he was pulling with his foot. Since Arick was just wearing flip-flops, his toes were dislocated due to the collision.
"Ouch!!!" Arick screamed in pain.
Embarrassed, he rushed out of there before Peter Adrison realized his mistake at the door. Arick could be like Wizart always calm, fierce and rude CEO but he still failed to imitate Wizart's behaviour. It's better to be yourself than to pretend to be someone else. Arick was embarrassed.

A day after breaking up with Danish, Teresa changes changed very suddenly. When she was busy drawing his comics, his hair had grown unwashed, stringy, dark under his eyes like a panda and his stomach was busy eating snacks every time she was hungry. She is not directly managed to complete his comic.
Rani at that time was also in her house for a few days. They live together as friends to care for each other. Rani who just came out of the bathroom walked toward Teresa who was focused on making comics.
"You're busy making comics all the time...Look at you, you're like an old grandma who doesn't take a bath." Rani mocks Teresa who draws her comics there. But Teresa acted normal.
"Let me not shower." She answered sloppily. His eyes are still focused on drawing comics. Rani just shook her head.
Taking a few steps towards the couch, she reached for his phone and unlocked the screen. Rani started to focus on playing with her phone.
Pressing the application filled with world news articles, she read an article about the search for a professional comic writer at a company near their area. Rani quickly ran toward Teresa.
"Teresa! You have to see this!"
"This must be because of the K-pop group BTS, right? You don't even have to look, I already know, Rani." She said his guess was not accurate.
"Hey, it's not about K-pop group BTS...You look at this!" Excited, she brought his phone screen closer to Teresa's face. Teresa's eyes managed to stare at her phone screen.
"Searching for Comic Writers.." she said reading the title of the article. Rani was also excited to hear it.
"Teresa, you should try to become a writer at that company. The salary he gives is good, don't you know?"
"Not interested..."
"Hey, Teresa. If you're busy publishing your comics on comic apps alone, it's not enough for you. You have to show your talent to the world. I always support you, my friend!" Rani encourages Teresa to do it. Teresa let out a long sigh as she looked at Rani.
"Just forget it.."
"Hey, Teresa. Do you want to watch your friend die here?" There was something she held out to touch her wrist.
"Hey, Rani. You don't want to act..I.."
"I count to three, one...two..."
"Okay..I'll do it. I'll do it but for your sake, don't you know?" She said forcing herself to join the talent. Rani felt happy again.
"But wait a minute, what are you holding? Do you want to cut...your hand with...that banana?" She said she just realized what Rani was holding was a banana, not a knife. Rani who managed to persuade her just laughed.
"I...will kill you, Rani!"
Being deceived by Rani's tricks, Teresa quickly got up and attacked Rani. They both ran around the house like little girls. The sound of laughter filled the house because of the fun of playing with each other. Already an adult, still running around the house.
