Dreams are just flowers of sleep, they don't mean anything... But in that dream for Irina it felt real, she had never felt something erotic like that. Even this morning, Irina could still feel the hot touch on every inch of her body, and almost strangled her neck because she wanted it so much. Irina closed her eyes while letting out a small moan from her lips. "Are you going to work today?" Suddenly Lucy's voice surprised Irina, when Irina opened her eyes the woman was already in front of her carrying two pieces of sandwiches that were given to Irina. "Huh?" Irina didn't even listen to Lucy. "You have to go to work! Because if you don't, they will suspect you." Lucy said taking a seat opposite Irina at the dining table. As if holding back something, Irina tried to think clearly. "Yes, you're right. But what if this time I'm the next victim?" Irina asked hoping that they could both get out of this situation. "If Deborah tells you to work overtime, then you have to refuse! Because that's a sign." Lucy said. "But what about my job? I've dreamed of this job for a long time, even long before I got married." Irina, who was still thinking about her job, didn't want her reputation to be tarnished just because she refused to work overtime. "Irina, which do you choose? Your career or your safety?" Lucy said firmly, instantly making Irina speechless. Honestly, Irina was still thinking about worldly things like her job and career compared to her own safety. She had come this far and wouldn't just give up her job. Without answering Lucy, Irina got up from her seat to get ready for work. Without touching the sandwich made by Lucy. Lucy could only take a deep breath and hope that her best friend would be okay, until finally Irina went to work and her vehicle was seen starting to leave the yard. Behind the glass window, Lucy saw Irina finally leave. Irina herself was not stupid, she understood all the strangeness. But once again, work and career were everything to her. After being locked up in the house for so long and making herself a good and obedient wife, it felt like the freedom she was living now was worth what she had let go of. When she arrived at the office, there was nothing strange. Lucy's desk looked empty and no one asked where Lucy was today. This further strengthened Irina's belief that there was something wrong in this office, suddenly one of the employees who had bowed to Noah came to Irina. Irina was scared but the woman's face looked friendly. "Hey, Irina! You will receive data from me starting today, okay!" The woman greeted Irina in a friendly manner. "Uhm, where's Lucy?" Irina asked as if she didn't know what happened to Lucy, the woman just smiled at Irina. "Lucy decided to resign yesterday afternoon, today there will be a new employee to replace her position!" Said the woman named Amber, Irina looked at the name tag on her shirt. "Oh..." was all Irina replied, Amber returned to her seat. Replacing an employee that quickly even though Lucy was in big trouble, is that how cruel the world of work is? You are so generous to the company where you work, with the aim of enriching the person who owns the company. However, when you fall ill or die. With just a snap of a finger, your position will be replaced. That's how cruel the world is! Irina was carried away by her own daydream, until there was an email from Amber and Irina immediately did her work. Today there was nothing interesting for Irina, everyone worked as usual and no one cared about Lucy. Even until noon arrived, Noah and the others did not show their faces. Even though Irina wanted to hear Noah's answer about her theory yesterday. While holding back her hunger because she didn't eat lunch, Irina tried to focus on working until it was time to go home. But just as she wanted to tidy up all her things and put them in her bag. Suddenly Deborah came to Irina and told Irina to work overtime today, because Lucy's position had not been replaced. Meanwhile, Deborah would hand over some of Lucy's work to Irina, until there was a replacement for Lucy. That meant, Irina would work overtime, alone in this building, until there was a replacement for Lucy. "Miss Irina, tonight you have to work overtime. I don't want Lucy's work to pile up on her desk!" Deborah said putting some files on Irina's desk, Irina who saw the pile of papers and folders felt nauseous. "Lucy's replacement will arrive tomorrow or the day after." Deborah said simply and left Irina. Deborah was one of the bosses who was quite fierce, but the woman never yelled or acted mean to Irina. It was also a bit strange, when all the employees were always yelled at by her. But not with Irina. Back to overtime work.. Just hearing that word made Irina's hair stand on end, especially remembering Lucy's message this morning which unfortunately Irina didn't heed. It was getting late.. All the employees left the office one by one when work hours were over, Irina herself rushed to do her work and Lucy's piling work. She had to go home immediately so she wouldn't meet the white-haired man as Lucy had said. The head of the audit team who had interviewed Irina at that time turned out to be as scary as Noah. Drowning in her work until only Irina was in the room, but Irina didn't see Deborah come out of her room indicating that the woman was still in there. But Lucy had said that Deborah was one of them.. "Okay, time to go home!" Irina said to herself after all her work was done, she was even faster than expected. Eight o'clock at night didn't seem too late and hopefully she wouldn't meet anyone when she left the building. But just as Irina wanted to stand up from her seat while holding her work bag, the door to the room opened and the white-haired man just entered the room. Suddenly Irina's body froze and she didn't stand up, she could only sit still because she was afraid. "Irina, huh?!" The man exclaimed approaching Irina with quick steps while extending one of his hands. That was strange! Irina almost screamed, but the sound of the door creaking open again, surprised them both. Noah came in with his usual all-black suit, his gaze was so sharp and cold. "She's mine!" Noah said, Irina's chest felt like it was rising and falling quickly in a condition like this. The white-haired man started to move away and then left the room, without saying a word. Noah extended one of his hands this time to Irina, but Irina who was still afraid could only stay still in her seat at this time. With both hands holding on to her bag as if she had just been confronted by two robbers. Even though the two people weren't going to rob her belongings of course, they only wanted her soul.. "Go away!" Irina snapped, Noah chuckled in amusement. At a time like this the woman could still show her tough attitude towards Noah. Noan tried to approach the woman, with both hands resting on the table and the head of Irina's work chair. Noah bent down to bring his face closer to the girl's face, Irina suddenly backed away until she hit the glass wall. "It's no use hiding Lucy at home, they've got Lucy." Noah whispered, Irina immediately remembered her best friend who was at home. Irina pushed Noah while hitting the man with her work bag. Until finally Noah took the bag by force and threw it away. "Where's my friend?!" Irina snapped. "You don't know her that well, why do you care so much about her?" Noah asked. "None of your business!" Irina replied, not wanting to be influenced by anything Noah said that might affect her beliefs. "You won't meet her in the afterlife, Irina! You should think about yourself." Noah said again. Irina's head felt dizzy, every sentence that came out of Noah's lips seemed to be true. It did sound wrong, but that was the reality. And Irina was a fragile woman after her divorce and her youth was taken away because of her marital status, her faith was also fragile along with the trials she had faced. Irina covered her ears not wanting to hear Noah's voice, but the man's voice always echoed in Irina's head even piercing her chest. "It hurts!" Irina winced while holding her own chest, she fell to the floor with Noah standing towering in front of her. "The more you fight, the more it will hurt. Just let go!" Noah said giving directions, Irina herself did not know what Noah meant by his words. What was she fighting? What made her sick? What should she let go of? "Aargggghhhh!" Irina screamed as hard as she could, until her voice echoed filling the quiet room. Noah just stood there looking at Irina like that. Until finally, Irina's body felt weak and lay on the cold floor. Her gaze was fixed on Noah who was still standing beside her, not long after the man crouched right next to Irina. "There is nothing stronger in this world than the Devil, Irina. God may be stronger, but evil will always win in this world. That is how God tests the obedience of his people, and you... you are not an obedient person, therefore you still survive in this world, that is my theory about obedience." Noah said, Irina who was getting dizzier finally closed her eyes and fainted instantly. For some reason Noah's energy seemed too much for her, and Irina was just an ordinary human being who was still searching for her identity after the burden of life she had gone through. In the sense, unstable... The strong influence of the devil could enter at any time when you are off guard, especially if you cannot contain the wild desires that you have never had before. Noah lifted Irina's body which was already helpless, her consciousness just disappeared due to inner turmoil. Taking her out of the office building, the white-haired man watched Noah from a distance put Irina into the woman's car and took her away. Heading to Irina's house, there was no safer place than that house. In her sleep Irina had another dream, a strange dream that felt real. She met Lucy, the woman told Irina to be careful. Lucy did not answer Irina's question who was worried about her whereabouts, the woman instead warned Irina not to approach Noah and to get as far away from this city as possible. "Lucy?" "Irina!" The woman smiled softly at Irina. "Are you okay?" Lucy nodded. "Where are you?" Irina asked to make sure that her best friend was still at home and in good condition. "Don't look for me! You won't survive. You better go, stay away from Noah! He's not a good man." Lucy said warning Irina, but it felt strange. As if Lucy had known who Noah really was and also the white-haired man. "What if I don't want to go?" Irina replied, this time Lucy's smile faded. As if she couldn't accept that her best friend would be hurt. "Then you will be like them!" Lucy answered. "Who are they? What are they?" Irina asked who was increasingly confused by all this strangeness. "Stay away from them, Irina! You still have a lot of time, you have a choice. Don't be tempted by worldly desires!" Lucy said. Instantly Lucy's shadow faded with Noah's arrival. Like dust and wind, Lucy's shadow disappeared instantly. But this time Noah's face looked different, his two stunning sea blue eyes now turned reddish like blood. His skin was as pale as cotton like a corpse, and there were small horns on the man's head just like the Devil. "You are my empress! Come with me!" Noah stretched out his hand. At that moment the wind blew very hard from nowhere, as if a storm was about to come and take them both. Irina's hair was blown hard by the wind, while her body almost flew along with the strong wind. But strangely Noah's body did not move at all, unaffected by the storm around him. That was a metaphor for the world. If someone had dark powers that came from the Devil, he would definitely be able to face worldly life and all its trials. But if you don't have anything to hold on to, your body will also be dragged away by the strong wind. Irina woke up with shortness of breath and coughing. Holding her chest as if she had just entered a windstorm and was being spun by it, she was only able to normalize her breathing after a few moments. And after a while, she just realized that there was a man standing facing her bedroom window with his back to Irina, Irina just realized that she was now in her own house. "Is this a dream?" Irina asked, she was almost crazy because she couldn't tell the difference between dreams and reality. "If this is a dream, you can do whatever you want!" The figure replied, which Irina had guessed was Noah. Judging from his broad and flat back, the man was just standing there. "Why is that?" Irina asked, Noah slowly turned around. This time his eyes were blue, not like in the dream which was blood red. "Because you can't control what happens in the real world." Noah answered.
