A Mysterious Man

Lora looks unhappy when she hears the first question. And Kevin’s intentional provocation makes it worse.

“Oh, right. Lora, your chairman, is in serious debt. Of course, we won’t help her pay it off. So, you guys want to cast your votes to her or me? What about....”

Everyone present understands what is going on before Kevin finishes the sentence. So, they all make the sensible decision to vote for Kevin.

“That’s very good. Then, Ms. Lora, could you please leave because we are going to hold a formal meeting.”

Kevin says calmly, “Lewis, go and get the security guards.”

“No need.”

Lora forces out two words and leaves without looking back.

The secretary on the side looks at Lora and Kevin, not knowing what to do.

“Wait in the office first,” Lewis understands her dilemma and says.

The secretary nods, assuming that Lewis might be a good guy.

When there is no outsider in the office, Kevin settles to business.

“My purpose in buying this company is very simple. It’s a gift for my wife. It was hers to begin with, so I can’t leave it in other people’s hands.”

As he speaks, the directors realize that his wife is Sunny, who was driven away by Lora and her daughter.

“Yes, yes, yes. Mr. Kevin is absolutely right. That kind of person should be taught a lesson.”

Lora stands on the roof, somewhat at a loss. Her job is someone else’s now.

Lost in thought, she receives a phone call.

“Mr. Ryan, I....”

Before she can say anything, the man on the phone interrupts her, “I heard that you were kicked out of the board. How pitiful. Hurry up and pay me back the money. How unlucky. If you can’t get the money, watch out for yourself.”

Before Lora can speak, the guy hangs up the phone after giving her a deadline.

The wind grows stronger.

Lora glances at the tall building beneath her feet and feels dizzy. Then, as if thinking of something, she closes her eyes and jumps.

Sunny is busy in the hospital today. For some reason, a lot of people are sent in. They get here from car accidents and suicides by way of jumping out of a building, etc.

Sunny looks at the figure lying on the stretcher and feels somewhat familiar. Is that…?

Suddenly, her phone rings.

“Hello?”

“Sunny? Are you Sunny?”

It is a man’s voice.
