The beginning of the working day as a comic writer at W Comic Trending Company was very tiring for Teresa. Drawing a comic for even one early chapter has become a pressure on her. It's time to go home. Teresa still hadn't finished her work. Even when eating, she only eats light snacks to fill her stomach. Face masks are always worn for camouflage purposes. Fear of being identified by Wizart.
"Teresa." Arick, as a comic editor, called his name from afar.
"Yes?"
"Are you ready to draw the comic? Now it's only a few minutes to go home." Arick approached his desk calmly. But Teresa still focused on doing her work.
"It'll be ready soon, editor." She answered without looking at Arick's face.
"I hope you can finish it. When you're ready, send your comic to my email address, okay?"
"Yes, editor." She answered with a confident smile. Even though his mind was starting to stress because of work.
"I want to go back quickly. Are you okay here alone? Many other workers have gone home."
"I'm fine, editor. Don't worry about me." Teresa deliberately showed a smile even though she had to come home late.
"Okay..." Arick replied with just a word.
Carrying his suit, Arick walked away from the office, leaving Teresa. The atmosphere is quiet and comfortable. Teresa continues her unfinished business.
But she didn't realize that Wizart was also still in the office. His eyes fell asleep for a long time as he sat leaning on his chair in the office room. Realizing that the atmosphere outside had become quiet, Wizart opened his eyes. The watch was immediately looked at before quickly getting up from his chair. He stretched his neck first before stepping out of the room. A table lamp is seen lit in the office.
"I hope I can finish it... I didn't think the first day of work here would be so tiring. It's not like at home." Teresa complains about her unmanaged work situation. It's just the first day of work.
"Teresa, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, Wizart stood in front of his desk. Teresa was surprised by what he did. She remembered the ghost standing before her.
"Mr.Wizart.."
"Why don't you come home yet? Now is the time to go home." Wizart asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"My work is not ready, sir. So I want to finish it before I go home."
Seeing the results of drawing comic figures on Teresa's iPad on the table, Wizart quickly approached her. He lowered his face to see the results of Teresa's comic drawing. But the way Wizart observed his work made Teresa uncomfortable. Wizart's head was almost attached to his sitting face. Wizart lowered his head so much that their faces almost collided. Smelling the perfume that was still fresh on Wizart's clothes, Teresa fell asleep for a moment. The fragrance was so fragrant that it entered his nostrils, which were sensitive to the sense of smell. Teresa was stuck there because of it.
"Beautiful. It seems that you are talented in the field of writing comics." Wizart praised her before standing back up instead of staring at Teresa's iPad on the table. She began to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Anyway, if your work is still not finished..leave it for now and you can continue tomorrow. Because you are a girl, don't come home very late. It's dangerous at night if a woman comes home alone at this time. Go home now. These instructions."
Wizart, stern and serious-faced, instructed Teresa to return home. Wizart's courtesy. Fierce, strict and handsome, but he has a gentlemanly nature as well. Teresa's heart was tempted again.
"Okay, sir. I'll go home now. Thank you, sir." She said quickly, rushing from there before Wizart changed his mind.
Noticing Teresa hurriedly tidied up her desk before leaving, he was still there waiting for her to come out. After she left the office, it was only then that Wizart moved out of there lazily. You have a good heart, Wizart. Understand the situation of employees, especially women. But when their faces almost collided earlier, Teresa couldn't get rid of the flutter in her heart every time she remembered the romantic incident. Teresa went home feeling embarrassed.

The bottle of water in the fridge was taken before being gulped down because he was too thirsty. Her still-wet hair and dressed in a bathing suit lazily sipped cold mineral water at midnight. Wizart walked slowly toward the living room.
He reached for the remote control and turned on the television in front of his sofa. He sat quietly with his eyes starting to watch a scary movie. The mineral water was sipped once more while looking at the broadcast on television. At this time, Wizart still hadn't slept.
The sound of the phone ringing on the glass table in front of the sofa had interrupted his focus on watching television. He quickly answered the call before placing his water bottle on the glass table.
"Yes?"
"Hi, my brother. How are you?" A very cheerful voice on the call made Wizart look back at his phone screen. A soft and cheerful female voice was heard in the call.
'My Crazy Sister'
The name of the number he had saved on the phone contact was read out and brought back to his ear.
"Why are you calling me at this time? Are you drunk?" Wizart's sarcasm raised a frown on his forehead.
"I'm not drunk. I called you on purpose." Answered an excited woman there.
"Don't waste time. I want to sleep."
"Brother, don't lie. I know you have insomnia right now. You can't sleep well, right?"
It turns out that Wizart suffers from insomnia until midnight like this. No wonder he was still awake at that hour.
"What exactly do you want to say?"
"Brother, I will go back there tomorrow. Brother, pick me up at the airport, okay?"
"That's all? Waste of time answering your call."
"Brother!" The people there were already complaining because Wizart seemed to be ignoring her.
"That's it! I want to sleep. Don't call me again. Understood?" Wizart insisted.
"Understood.." she replied with just one word.
The call immediately ended with a sigh. Wizart tossed his phone on the couch before calmly leaning back on the sofa. Both eyes were closed slowly. Running all day at work has tired the mind, and he tries to calm himself down to sleep even though he suffers from insomnia.
