Chapter 5 – She rules
Angela felt bad receiving such a gift because she had given nothing to her best friend on her first day at work. She was curious about what was in the cardboard box, and Naomi guaranteed it was something Angela would like. She hugged Naomi tightly as if she wouldn't let go, and the girl hugged her best friend back.
They agreed to create this new year to be a good person in friendship and work. He couldn't go since the day that girl had betrayed and toyed with him. Angela often invites Naomi always to have a party every time she comes home from work, and at that time, she likes it when her best friend asks her. But this time, Naomi was interested in something other than following it.
The man who had sat during the interview yesterday was also accepted, but he was in another section. He greeted them kindly, and Angela became a team to select marketing candidates. They would often meet on business matters.
"Naomi's level with us is different, Rio-san. But she won't leave her best friend just because she has her own office." Angela said.
"That's right because you are my best friend, and I can't possibly leave a friendship that has existed for ten years." Answer Naomi.
The sound of music reverberates throughout the room, like a famous drinking party club. In that place, many people, including young and old, who desire to do so, will be pleasant witnesses. The smell of alcohol at each end wafted from all directions.
Angela and the other employees had been lulled into a drunken state. This was the first time in many days they had invited Naomi to go to a party to enjoy the events that were often held at that place. If it wasn't for reasons of achievement achieved in work and only one week later she got a lot of accomplishments.
Naomi thought about what had happened to the hourglass. It still left no marks but moved even though she had tried according to what she had previously remembered and realized that her efforts were still being pushed to be repaid. She couldn't just put the rope in someone else's room.
A strange object could not be in such a place, and it would be thought that she was using it for some evil purpose. Naomi tried not to get drunk like them and drank milk or juice. Angela sat across from Naomi. They didn't like Naomi from the beginning, they didn't feel the pleasure, so they tried to invite the girl to dance.
They went with a determined partner; even Naomi didn't want to go with Rio. A few days ago, he had expressed his feelings for Naomi, but she refused and reasoned that she still had a sibling to look after rather than having a relationship with someone else.
Rio didn't give up on the girl and still tried to convince her even though every time they met, they looked awkward. Their friends put Naomi and Rio together, thinking they are the perfect match anywhere in the office. She still doesn't want to be in a relationship like that.
She danced as usual, following the movements with different music, and Rio accidentally bumped into Naomi. He apologized for being indecent even though Rio was only unintentional and feared hurting the girl. Naomi didn't want him to blame Rio's actions until they finally returned, and the others were still drunk.
Angela asked them to go to karaoke because tomorrow was a holiday. Naomi refused because she didn't want to waste more time. When she found a figure in the bathroom, Naomi wanted to show that she was not okay.
"Isn't she getting a bit more arrogant? She is avoiding us because she is getting an important company position." The voice was so familiar, and she didn't want to come out and get revenge on them just like that and only left after they were satisfied talking about it.
Naomi came out of the bathroom and put the hourglass in his pocket. She looked at herself much better than when she was about to end her life without hesitation getting out of the bathroom.
"Let's go to a karaoke place." Teach Naomi. Those who didn't expect that the girl would be the first to invite them to have fun were surprised, and Angela stood up to accept the girl's invitation. They walked up to bump into many people because workers who had just had a delightful evening were still under alcohol.
In the alley's corner, Naomi saw the shadow, realizing she had missed the agreement for the past few days. Naomi didn't want her plan to fail. Then she went again to meet them and asked for a re-map.
"Do you want to end the contract?" asked the man. she didn't want to be toyed with by them as she ventured forward after a full day of waiting for their arrival. Naomi finally had no doubts when those people appeared and came with a sudden haze of smoke. This was the first time they had been visited by girls twice after coming back to the forest.
They shouldn't give and promise anything to that girl. She asked for an explanation of what had happened earlier. The feeling of fear that haunts Naomi makes her even more curious. She desperately wanted revenge but still didn't know if her decision was correct and if her plan could be carried out as she wished. Naomi, on the one hand, is worried about killing other people, but if not, she will die at their hands.
She asks for three months to carry out her revenge because Naomi wants her target to suffer more than she felt before her death. They followed what Naomi wanted if she needed it. To repay the services of two people in a dark situation behind the forest, she found some money obtained from financial manipulation at her workplace.
Their gazes didn't budge, and they only saw the chocolate packets that looked so thick as they said they didn't need that to guarantee the deal. Naomi was even more grateful because they didn't receive the money. She finally left and intended to carry out her plan.
