The day went up quite nicely for Ariane as she felt a bit better.
Jenny had assisted her in finding an office job, and she was scheduled for an interview with them in two days. However, before the interview, Jenny had her tour several locations in the city.
Everybody were a bit strange but some were nice though.
She was a little relieved since she had traveled to a few locations with Jenny and they had now reached a concert hall.
"Whoa!!! SME!" The screams of girls were heard.
As they attempted to enter the packed hall, Ariane grinned.
Then they discovered a space in the center.
"He is about to come out--wow!!!!" Jenny couldn't finish her words as she started screaming the moment someone walked on stage.
Ariane smiled at her behavior and turned to see the man with a mask.
The man simple wore a white hoddie with some black design, mostly his name customized on it.
Everywhere slowly became quite as he sat Infront a microphone, about to sing while playing his guitar.
Ariane paid attention to him; she had never had the time to attend a concert before, but she had heard people talk about him.
She decided to listen to one of his songs, he hadn't even taken his mask off to begin singing when her phone vibrated.
She furrowed her brows upon seeing the unidentified number, but then she thought of something.
Probably it was her mom.
"J-jeny, I'll go answer this." She said to Jenny, who nodded and returned her attention to SME.
Ariane quickly walked out and was directed to the bathroom, which was crowded with girls who wanted to hurry up and listen to SME.
With a sigh, Ariane made the decision to move to a quieter location where the screams of the girls would not be audible.
Upon discovering herself on the hallway roof, she made the decision to give the person another call.
She hoped desperately that it would be her mother.
"Hello, Ariane." She heard the voice once the call got connected.
When she at last heard her mother's voice, she felt as though everything stopped.
"Ariane? Are you there?"
"M-mom." Ariane said as tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh, my darling baby girl. How are you doing? I apologize for not being able to call earlier; I needed to obtain a different, yet secret, phone number so that you would not be tracked. "How are you, dear?" She could hear her mother's worried voice.
"I am fine, Mom; how are you and Dad doing?" Ariane said, holding back her tears.
"Well... Fortunately, he was not arrested, but he slipped into a coma. The doctor said he is in stable condition now, but we do not know when he will wake up." Her mother replied.
Ariane felt her chest tightened as she heard those words, tears started rolling out of her eyes as she shut her mouth in other not to cry.
"Everything is a bit better now, it is just that the hospital bills are quite high, but I will handle it-"
"No mom, just take care of dad, I'll arrange for the money." Ariane forced her self to speak.
"No, you just have to take care of yourself and forget-"
"Do not tell me to forget about my family, mom. I will be going on a job interview soon and will be able to access that account tomorrow, so do not worry about me. "I am staying with a close friend of mine." Ariane replied.
Her mother was unable to speak because she felt the urge to cry.
They both then heard the sound of a female voice.
"Mrs. Nile, I would like you to sign some papers." It sounded like a hospital staff member.
"I'll call you back, later. The nurse wants me to sign an something." Her mother said.
"Mn." Ariane voiced out.
Her mother simply smiled before she ended the call.
After the call, Ariane exhaled shakily.
She tried to blink her tears away, reminding herself to be strong.
Just then, she perceived a fine scent which suddenly calmed her down.
Though it was quiet relieving, it had a lavender scent.
Her brows furrowed slightly as she stopped sobbing.
She turned slowly and searched the area, but she was unable to locate anyone until she saw movement coming from the door.
She then noticed a man in a black suit walking back in.
'he must have been the one.' she thought inwardly as she noticed the broad shoulders.
She was certain he was the one even though it was so dark that she could not quite make out the man or even how he appeared from the back.
'he smells so nice.' she said inwardly
Meanwhile, the young man walked down the stairs leading to the roof.
He sighed as he got to the end of the stairs. His dark grey eyes narrowed as if he was trying to figure something out.
Another man standing at the bottom of the stairs was perplexed as he looked up at his boss.
"Sir, you said you'd prefer to be alone at the roof while you wait for SME, was there anything wrong up there?"
"I thought my brother was loved, especially by women, so why would a woman be up there?" He muttered, but it did not escape the other man's ears.
The other man's face wrinkled immediately, indicating nervousness.
"S-sir, did you meet a lady up there?" The other man inquired.
The man with dark grey eyes gave the other man a quick glare before walking away.
"No, his mood must have changed; he despises women!" Why didn't I order for a check first.'The other man followed his boss, murmuring to himself.
"Sir, I apologize for my carelessness; I should have checked ahead." The other man kept speaking while following his boss, who said nothing.
