When Michael enters the building, his aura was sure frightening. People quickly greeted him as soon as he walked by in fearing they will get fired immediately. He kept on walking with his hands in his pockets.
As soon as he stops by one of the employees, she immediately got nervous and looked away.
Michael snickered saying, "What's wrong? Why are you scared me? Is it because you've done something wrong? I can fire you right on the spot if you don't tell me NOW!" His expression suddenly changed.
"I.. I.. I'm sorry. I didn't finish my work properly. Please forgive me." She trembled in fear. Michael looked at her with his cold glaring eye and said right in her face, "Finish your report by the end of the day or else I will fire you."
She quickly bowed and ran away nervously.
Michael didn't even look at other people while he walked by them.
He signalled his bodyguard to leave him alone.
They obeyed him immediately.
As he walked into his office, people greeted him with a bow, he went in without looking at anyone.
In his office, he sat down and began to work.
He felt constant loneliness and all he had was work.
He tried his hardest to forget Akiane until this day but whenever he thought of her, disgust filled in his heart.
Suddenly, he heard piano music outside and he was curious.
He somehow felt comfort in the music. But when reality hits him, he's back to his usual self. He thought he will never need any music in his life... ever.
Karen finished performing and everyone applauded. She felt so happy that she can share her musical talent with everyone.
Michael decided to take a walk outside, his room suffocates him.
Karen bowed and thanked everyone for coming and telling everyone she will be back soon.
But everyone wanted her to play another piece. She agreed to play and sing at the same time.
Michael was in the audience with the other two bodyguard watching Karen's performance. For unknown reasons, tears streamed down his face.
Then, he acted as if nothing has ever happened.
When Karen finished playing her final song, she bowed and said thank you.
She went down the stage stairs and she hugged her best friend. The two then said their goodbyes.
Karen walked passed Michael with a smile on her face.
Michael stood there speechlessly.
