After Armond left, I sat in the hot spring and rested for a while.

“A few of the girls in the company have checked into a room. You should join them and have some fun

later.”

A voice emerged from a distance. It was Savini’s.

I turned down his offer. “No thanks. I should head home soon.”

I need to turn in early tonight so that I can wake up early tomorrow.

He clicked his tongue. “Can’t you just be a team player? We all came here to have some fun, and yet you

kept pulling yourself away from the crowd.”

I pursed my lips and looked at him. “So, the reason I’m here is to socialize with them?”

He raised his brows. “You should spend more time and talk to the girls. Why are you such a loner? Don’t

you feel lonely?”

I shook my head. “Not at all. I’m used to it.”

My remark got him tongue-tied. He sat beside me and asked, “Do you know Mr. Murphy?”

I knitted my brows. “Mr. Murphy?”

“The man who taught you swimming just now.” He got into the hot spring, found himself a comfortable

spot, and sat down.

“You mean Armond Murphy?”

He nodded.

I knew there was something unusual with that man. “So, who exactly is he?”

“He’s the chairperson of Animus,” he briefly introduced. “I thought you knew who he was since you two

were chatting quite happily just now.”

“I just got to know him a while ago.” What can I say? I wasn’t always on my guard against strangers.

Savini nodded. He paused for a bit before continuing, “Armond is quite a mysterious figure. I heard of

him when I was in K City and knew he was not a simple man, but somehow, I can’t find any information

about him.”

After being in a hot spring for quite some time, I began to feel dizzy. I stood up and wrapped a towel

around my body. “This world is full of mysterious people. I’m not surprised that Armond is one of them.”

He nodded. “As long as you know what you’re doing.”

After a short pause, he continued, “Go and spend some time with the others. Since you’ve decided to

start afresh, you should interact more with your colleagues.”

I cocked my head and looked at him. “You’re a very long-winded man, Savini. Do you know that?”

After I had decided to leave Q City, I was determined to live alone in A City.

Never in a million years did I think I would bump into Savini again after he had been sentenced to jail for

committing a crime five years ago.

I was surprised to see him when I was job hunting in A City. However, what surprised me the most was

the fact that we actually became colleagues.

Life is so unpredictable, isn’t it?

At Zone A on the second floor, a few female colleagues from the company were singing in the karaoke

room.

At Savini’s insistence, I decided to join them. Though I could not sing very well, I picked a song and

hummed along to the music.

“Hey Scarlett, do you have a phone charger with you?” one of the colleagues asked.

I nodded. “I left it in the locker. Do you need it? I’ll get it for you.”

She nodded. “It’s fine. You can give me your card. I’ll go and get it myself. “

Since there was nothing expensive in the locker, I gave her my card without hesitation.

The rest of us continued singing. We were basically venting our frustration through songs that none of us

could sing properly.

It was getting late, so I thought of taking a bath before going home.

“The hotel still has another program at eleven ‘o clock. Are you sure you don’t want to stay?” a colleague

asked.

I grinned and replied, “No thanks. It’s getting late. I should head home now.”

Most of the colleagues chose to stay back to enjoy all the programs planned for them. Since the

company had paid about a thousand for each employee, they wanted to enjoy all the benefits to the

fullest. Otherwise, a mid-range salary earner like us could never afford this kind of entertainment.

After taking a bath, I walked to the dressing room. A few attendants came in and apologized to the

guests in the room. “I’m so sorry, but please put on your clothes as soon as possible. The cops are

coming over to conduct an inspection. Once again, we’re so sorry for the inconvenience caused.”

All the ladies started packing their belongings. Those who were still in the shower, too, came out and put

on their clothes.

Despite the early warning, there were still a few ladies who were not dressed properly when the cops

arrived.
