Excuse me?” Damian whispered, and he looked at his face.
“That scar. It wasn’t there yesterday” Damian said.
“Pardon?” The guy asked.
“Your voice. It also tinier than yesterday” Damian arched his brows.
“Or maybe I didn’t see your face properly yesterday cause you wore a blue cap” He further said.
“What? I never came here yesterday” The guy shook his head.
“I guess you really do forget things easily. It fine. You might not remember today too. I also think you have a sore throat. Rest well” Damian tapped his shoulder and walked away.
“But this is my voice…and I never came here yesterday” He muttered to himself.

Ariana’s eyes were still down.
“Hey,, Look at me. You alright??” Malcolm asked. written by sommy pearl f.
“I’m fine” She quickly said.
“Then, let me have a look at your face. Did she hit you?” He asked.
Ariana shook her head.
“Let me see then” He muttered, and held her jaw.
He raised it up and her face looked up at him.
Her eyes met with his eyes and hints of her memory came flowing by.
“I just saw it” She muttered.
Malcolm let go of her face.
“What’s that?” He asked.
“Gosh. Sorry, I’m late” Cindy ran in, panting hard.
“Its fine. I’ve taken care of her” Malcolm said.
Cindy looked down and saw Jung Hee laying down, unconsciously.
“Ariana, Its time” Malcolm told her.
“Boss…” Oliver ran in, also panting.
Malcolm turned to him. Oliver eyes were on the unconscious Jung Hee.
“Yes? What’s it?” Malcolm asked.
“We have a problem” Oliver sighed.
“Go on…”
“The glasses can’t work if Jung Hee is like this. Her face won’t get scanned properly. It will fail, definitely”
“Sh!t!!!” Malcolm thundered and they all shivered.
Ariana slowly stood up.
“Boss,,, Another problem” Rhoda slowly walked in.
She shoved a phone to everyone’s faces. Someone was calling.
“Damian is calling Jung Hee’s line” Rhoda said.
“d@mn it!!”
“Let me answer it. I can talk like her” Ariana muttered and cleared her throat.
Rhoda nodded and gave her the phone.
“Hello?” Damian said quickly, the moment the call went through.
“Hello” Ariana replied.
“Gosh. You don’t know how worried I am right now. You were picking my calls, why?” He asked.
“Sorry. I was still asleep”
“Well, Figures. Since, you’re still on your menstrual period”
“You’re right” Ariana bit her lower lip.
“Are you still gonna come to work today?” He asked.
Ariana looked at Cindy.
“In 2 hours time” She whispered to Ariana.
Ariana checked her time.
“Uh,,, expect me around 10pm”
“Okay then. I’ll tell the others on your behalf”
“Thanks…”
“Get well soon. Make sure to take your drugs. Rest now, if possible. If you think you can’t make it, stay at home…but don’t forget to give me a call”
“Sure”
“I love you” Damian said.
Ariana raised her brows, and looked at Malcolm. He wasn’t looking her way, anymore.
“You’re supposed to reply back, Jung Hee” Rhoda whispered.
Ariana blinked fast, and gulped.
“Me too” She whispered.
“Bye, I’m hanging up” She said, and hung the call.
She sighed deeply and handed the phone to Rhoda. written by sommy pearl f.
“Ariana. Let’s talk” Malcolm said, coarsely and walked away.
Ariana nervously scratched her hair and followed him, from behind.

Damian arched his brows as he kept his phone back into his lab coat pocket.
“Excuse me?” Someone called.
Damian turned to the person.
“Oh hey…”
“I don’t know what were talking about earlier but I never came yesterday and I don’t have any sore throat” The trash remover said.
Damian chuckled softly.
“Or maybe, you actually forgot you had a sore throat and you came yesterday. I understand why you talking like this. I guess you really forgot, being here yesterday. We even saw and talked. Good luck” He tapped his shoulder and walked past him.
He turned and watched Damian go back in.
“What’s he talking about? What’s he saying??” He thought, and walked out.
