Zannie was slightly conscientious. To think that Howie would curl up while sleeping in the cold outside seems excessive and cruel if considered. "Can you sleep here outside?"Howard smiled again. “How about you? Can you bear to see me sleeping here outside? I'll have a hard time and I'll be very cold. Jacob said that you should be kind to me." There was a mixture of sarcasm in the tone of Howard's words. On his side, he must show that Zannie's behavior is still understandable. That was Jacob's order, he needed to befriend her so that his grades would not be dropped in the evaluation. And he found out here that Zannie is also in Trias, it's just for Jacob because they were also talking last month."Oh go ahead, you're just there in our barracks," Zannie was forced to reply. As for her, she should still be kind to Howard because he might complain to Jacob and claim that she’s mistreating him."All right."They were walking quietly toward the barracks when Zannie suddenly stepped on the

“He told me a quote that was really inspiring. That children can also see the light at the end of the tunnel. He is no longer bossy. He is also less passive when speaking. He is no longer picky about food. He is willing to act; he plays close attention to the leader’s instructions. He is a gentleman. He no longer complains. He communicates well.”Howard smiled as he was walking to the car where he was going to sleep for tonight. He was able to read those enumerated remarks about him in just twenty seconds or less. Even though Zannie was being cold and mean to him, she still even gave him good remarks regarding his performance and demeanor while doing humanitarian work in Trias.“I must give her a proper reward. Or should I say, I must do her a favor since she gave me a good grade,” he said and closed his eyes while still thinking of her. ***Zannie also found time to hand Howard's evaluation sheet to Jacob. It is true that Jacob is not on duty yet so Zannie has to follow him in his

Zannie's vision seemed to blur. The insult she heard was like a dagger repeatedly stabbing her heart. She thought that the pain caused by her suerior's words were unendurable. As long as she can, she promised before that she would not cry while in front of them in the evacuation center even though there were even more tearful situations she experienced in this place. But this man is overdoing it. She knew his plans to smuggle other relief goods and to sell them to distant places to fill their pockets but she couldn't get enough and solid proof. She still remained silent because she didn't want trouble but she wouldn't let him blame her for the misfortune once this thing is revealed to the public. She just bowed and chose not to speak. Howard noticed her tears. Zannie is not good at hiding it no matter how she tries to act tough in front of everyone. All of them are throwing sympathies to her but just keep their mouths shut. For sure, the silence are because of their absolute fear for

"The dinner is ready. Eat it." Zannie handed a bowl with a newly boiled egg on it."Thank you," he replied nicely. He didn't ask Zannie to prepare something for him after they safely arrived at the barracks and cleaned other rooms for their fellow colleagues. But he concluded, that was just the girl's way to thank him for saving her out of embarrassment.“That’s our first dinner, Mr. CEO,” Zannie said as she started to eat her own food. The young man just let her go first. But she noticed how Howard remained staring at her and still did not eat the food she had prepared for him. "Is there any problem?" She deliberately released the spoon from her hands because she was conscious of Howard's stare; she probably had put more salt in the boiled egg in his dish."Nothing." Howard even smiled at her before he started eating. Zannie just nodded. "If you don't like the dish, I'm sorry. The canned goods you often eat are also out of stock. Maybe our comrades already consumed all of them." S

“It's almost 6 in the evening, nobody's here to help us.” Zannie was yawning while speaking. She couldn't help herself not to feel hopeless at this moment. Howard tried to call them so many times but none of them were reachable as of now.“I don't want to assume this, but what if that medical head stopped our colleagues from sending help?” Howard assumed.“I'm thinking the same way.” Zannie got out of the vehicle but she stumbled upon realizing it was still raining outside.“I just can't stay here and wait for them,” she grumbled.“You should wait here, okay?” she added and stood up.“Hey, where do you think you are going? Don’t you know how dangerous it is for you to go alone?” Howard argued.“What do you want me to do then? Stay still and wait for nothing? I don’t want to waste time though,” Zannie reasoned.Howard shook his head and just adjusted Zannie's position, he even removed the tuxedo coat he was wearing and that served as Zannie's blanket.“What are you doing?” Zannie sudde
