Due to a misunderstanding and false memories, Drusilla undergoes surgery, claiming a new identity as Maura. She stares at her image in the bathroom, today as well, she's unable to apprehend how her disoriented face was easily restored, unknown to the secrets she's oblivious to. Ignorance is indeed bliss to her.With a new identity, she wears a new fragile look, her deep blue eyes as bright as the night sky, her lip rosy and soft.All alone in the bathroom, she grabs a hairbrush, gently stroking her hair allowing the teeth of the brush to sink in, sliding down until it reaches the edge.It's Friday and today is the day she'll finally be discharged, she just couldn't wait.Unfortunately, her plans are cut short when Bernard appears before her as soon as she's set to go home and has her take a seat.For some reason though, it seems Maura doesn't like him that much, she has a brow up, and repeatedly taps her finger on the bedside and her feet on the floor. Neon enters right after Bernard
The two-hour drive was more than enough to squash Maura with dreadful anxiety.As she sits behind, holding her patience that seems to overflow, her legs are constantly shaking, and her hands tightly squeeze the back seat as she wishes with all her might that the driver will not let her anxiety get the best of her with his tortoise speed. Finally, when she feels suffocated by his speed, Maura leans forward, poking her head at the driver's seat, "can't you go a little faster." She says politely with a smile. The middle-aged driver narrows his look from the road and glances at her, although she's smiling politely, she has anxiety written all over her face, one that troubles the man. The more he stares into her eyes, the clearer he could see his death warrant being signed if he fails to do as he's told.Fear, panic, and distress automatically convert into a cold sweat that dances down his wrinkled face. So, to avoid any sort of trouble, he reluctantly says, "If that's what you want, b
The crowd of journalists swarms the entrance right after Maura leaves, echoing their questions at a high pitch, shoving their cameras at the couple's faces, like they're some kind of criminals.Meanwhile, unlike those two who were being pressured with questions, Maura enjoys her limousine cruise as she hums a befitting tune of 'we are the champions' to herself. After a couple of minutes on the road, her car comes to an abrupt halt, causing Maura to hit her head against the seat as she bounces back and forth. "What happened?" She asks the driver. However, before the man can even answer, Maura chokes on her spit.Up ahead, she sees a familiar figure walking towards the limousine, before that person could even reach her, a stiff Maura unlocks the door.Before Maura, Neon stands, looking down at her with furry eyes that make her gulp in fear. "Darl…""Get out of the car," Neon says, cutting her word short, his face has red flags written all over, his teeth tightly grinning upon the ot
Tears well up in her eyes as she stares at him with sadness. She wants to fight back, cries and begs Neon to turn the car around but the words fail to listen to her bright ideas. The more they drive, Maura fights with herself, debating on whether or not it's a good option to touch the steering wheel, but each time her hands reach towards Neon, she sees a rage greater than her resolve that causes her to shrink in fear. Finally, she gives up and like a good girl doesn't create a fuss until they arrive at a spectacular gala. "Mr Neon, it's good to see you," an old man says. The moment the couple arrives, a small crowd of couples and partners gathers Neon, reaching out to him for a shake while they greet each other. "Good to see you as well Mr Desmond," Neon says, he takes Maura by the shoulders, pushing her forward before introducing her. "Yes, and this is my wife, Maura." "Oh, good to see you, Maura, you look lovely today." The old man and his wife stretch their hands towards Mau
With a look of exhaustion, Maura dries her hands, staring at June through the mirror, who does the same as she awaits Maura to turn around."What do you want?" Maura asks with a heavy sigh of exhaustion.Finally, when her arms are dried, she turns around, now facing June, pressing her waist against the sink as she crosses her legs. The tension in the room became so thick that one could cut it with a knife.At one glance, anyone could recognise that Maura and June will never get along. With one step forward, June leans into Maura's face but Maura remains unshaken as she grins with one eyebrow upwards to question June's action. "I came to find out the reason why you created a scene on my wedding day," she says with overwhelming boldness. "I don't see any reason why I have to explain myself to you. Like I said, I was merely looking out for my late friend." Maura answers. A cloud of thoughts concerning how to get June off her back overshadows Maura's thinking, especially since she wa
A few minutes ago.Even with dazzling lights and a delightful atmosphere, Neon stood out more than ever. A crowd of guests, particularly gathered for the sake of the only Neon being present, took this as an opportunity and swarmed over him. For Neon, his working smile would not last long as both sides of his lips trembled from holding that look for that long. "When is this ever going to end?" He asked himself as he stood stillEach minute he would answer, "yes, thank you." With his head bowed, he got bored of it quite quickly, very quickly."This isn't why I came here." He muttered to himself. His eyes cast up ahead as he locked his target to spot Mrs Ethan who he saw left the bathroom with a burning rage.Her fist was tightly clenched, her feet stomped as she walked, and her mouth muttered words to herself."Oh!Did they finally have that chat?" He asked himself. The more he thought about it, the more he became curious, he wanted to know for himself how June reacted to Maura, and
"To our partnership.""To our partnership." The audience echoes with great cheer as glass clinks and the people merry.Ethan, after years of trial, has successfully sealed the deal he always dreamed of. "Revolution of E-shopping." He calls it. The very first target to enlarge his brand innovation was someone with great influence, someone everyone would like to partner with to get their hands on a share, "Neon's Mall," to be specific, "Neon's grocery mall."His idea is to create the very first non-human mall, with the wonder of AI. "I have to say, you've surprised me, Mr Ethan." Neon says as he shakes hands with Ethan, clinking glasses as they share a toast."Well, what can I say, I'm just full of surprises." He answers with a loud laugh. The two laughs till their bellies are full, even if the joke was not funny, for some reason it makes sense to them. Maura and June are by their spouses' side to make sure they don't get drunk and make a fool of themselves. Ethan takes a sip of h
Again she reaches out to Maura, but Neon refuses to let go as he tightens his arms around her. "Well if you would all care to come with me, I'd like to show you something interesting." Ethan proposes to have Maura stay for Kathleen's sake. "As much as I would have liked that, I'm afraid my wife's already tired, so I'm afraid we must leave." She can feel his grip around her waist tightens, he's not letting go as he pulls her closer and further away from the others. Although Neon is merely trying to protect her, Maura isn't enjoying this as her mood turns sour.He looks at Kathleen who grins at the sight of this, catching up with the fact that he's lost the moment Maura's mood switches. He knows there's nothing more he can do about it. "Oh, but Mrs Oxford." He calls out to the woman, "if you don't mind, I'll like to invite you over to my place next week, I'm sure Maura will like it if you paid a visit one of these days." She looks at Maura expecting her answer. "Well, what do
