CHARLIE'S POV:
I prepared for work, but my mind was on Suzana. She'd left for work without telling me, and it was her birthday. I decided to call her to wish her a happy birthday and lift her mood.
I picked up my phone from the coffee table and dialed her number. She didn't answer. I tried again, but there was still no response. I sighed and ended the call. Maybe she's busy with work, I thought.
I had the breakfast Suzana had made for me and headed to work. At the restaurant, I changed into my waiter uniform and began wiping down tables. The TV was on, but the volume was muted. I glanced at the screen and saw a news report about a woman who had jumped from the VIP restaurant roof and was declared dead.
