CAN I LET YOU GO?
Riding Strength

Somewhere, Alleta Nicoline is waiting for someone. The woman was asked to meet someone she did not know. However, there are cooperation offers in the invitation language that are received via short messages.

Alleta ordered a drink for herself. He did not know the taste of the person who invited him so Alleta did not order food or drinks for the man.

The person Alleta was waiting for arrived wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a hoddie with a head covering. They sat in the place Alleta had ordered.

"What's the password?" ask Alleta.

"Heligore Filaneey."

Alleta nodded her head, the password signifying this true figure who contacted her the other day.

"Say what's your purpose in bringing you here?"

The mysterious appearance made Alleta daunted, said then made Alleta find the right friend.

"Jarvis Meyer's. I have a job with this man." A mysterious figure pushed the paper containing a photo of Jarvis with a scrawl of red markers right on his head.

"What did I get?"

"I can't give you anything right now. But, if the target is reached, I will guarantee the future life of you and your son."

Alleta was stunned to hear the offensive words about her son. Alleta swallowed her dry saliva.

"Give me a reason why you want to do this?"

Alleta was astonished by the person's wishes. Alleta needs to be careful.

"For him to know how it feels to be sick and to live with suffering."

"Did anyone tell you?" Alleta wanted to recognize who was behind the black mask.

"It's none of your business!" The man yelled at Alleta until he gasped.

"So, what's my job?" alleta asked clarifying the desire of the mysterious figure.

"Don't ask me, you've started it, you go on and you go on to where he still survives."

Alleta seemed to think long. If he does not get clarity for what to receive the man's message before him.

"I'm sorry, I can't." Alleta stood up, intending to leave the private room and go home.

"I heard that you need a lot of money for the treatment of your daughter with a chronic illness."

Suddenly Alleta stopped her steps. He turned his body, curiosity towards the figure in front of him even made his body creep. The man knew Alleta's profile, but he didn't open it to the public.

"And that's why you exposed your affair years ago on podcasts. Worse, you also threw yourself at lonely men."

The mysterious figure stood up then walked closer towards Alleta. The man touched Alleta's cheek with his star-marked right hand on his wrist.

"Your money is dying. Your son is dying too. Now it's up to you, Alleta Nicoline."

The man went out of the room, he had a little nudge Alleta's arm. Alleta regained her senses, turned her body towards the door and shouted quickly.

"good. I'm doing it."

The man just remained silent, pulled the handle and disappeared as the door closed.

Alice Bouwer's working hours are over, she plans to go straight to her apartment. The meeting in his office so seized power.

"Alice, can you speak with four eyes?"

Someone interrupted Alice who had opened her car door in the office parking lot. Alice looked closely at the man from the bottom to the head.

"What do you want to say?"

"Not here. You can follow with your car."

With a heavy heart, Alice followed the four-wheeled vehicle in front of her. Alice agreed because she also wanted to convey something to the person she was following right now.

Enter them in a cafe with a minimalist modern feel decorated with monochrome colors graded white and black.

"Just tell me what you want. I don't have much time," urged Alice with a cynical look at the neatly dressed man across from her desk.

"I want you to help me mend my relationship with Floretta."

Alice chuckled mockingly, why just now? "After nine years, just want to improve the relationship? Where have you been, Jarvis Meyer?"

Jarvis was not covered by Alice anymore. Although they were friends for a long time, but Alice's heart did not accept Jarvis' care for Floretta.

According to Alice, Floretta was a sincere person. Floretta never told Jarvis about the ugliness, even though they shared their feelings as friends with each other.

Floretta kept everything in her heart until her heart filled with burdens over her husband.

"Jarvis, I'm a victim of a husband's infidelity. I asked for a divorce and to this day I live well and well established. I hate scandals like you do."

Jarvis froze on the spot, apparently wrongly seeking help. It's just that Alice is the one who can help him.

"Alice.me and your ex-husband are different people. I want to mend my relationship with my wife, while you're your ex-husband married his mistress."

"Please, Jarvis!"

Alice was furious at Jarvis's way of speaking. The table shake that Alice did grabbed the attention of people around. Jarvis became embarrassed, but reprimanded Alice calmly.

"You better not embarrass yourself, Alice. Aren't you a vlogger known to many?"

Alice clenched her hands at the table, regretting that she had fulfilled Jarvis' invitation.

"A cheating man like you is not worth forgiving."

Jarvis clucking. "This happened a long time ago, Alice. It's not an affair like everyone else is hiding."

Alice glared in surprise. "So, Floretta knew you were having an affair from the beginning of the marriage?"

Jarvis nodded, while Alice shook her head in an inexhaustible manner.

"You are bad. I'm getting sure not to help you get back to Floretta."

Alice pointed at Jarvis with annoyance.

"Floretta's pregnant with my son, if you don't help her, it's the same you don't think about the lives of Floretta's children. For he has nothing but treasure from me. They can live in poverty and it's you, Alice."

Hearing the threat wanted it to feel Alice floated a bogem to the handsome face of Jarvis to bonyok, if necessary the man to do plastic surgery.

"You want to throw the blame at me, Jarvis? It was your lowly actions that made Floretta want to leave you. Having a wife who sacrifices everything, does not knock on the door of your heart. You're a rotten man."

Jarvis felt arrogant to hear the lowliness that Alice threw. Both her mother, Stephanie, and her old friend, Alice, were unwilling to help. What else must she do to get Floretta back?

"Well, if you're not willing to help me." Jarvis felt there was no point in meeting Alice. He stood up, leaving some money on the table.

While walking past Alice, Jarvis exclaimed, "May you be a widow for the rest of your life, Alice!"

Alice's lips propped up hearing Jarvis's swearing. Alice flips over the body by holding an empty cup, unfortunately Jarvis has disappeared from the cafe.

Jarvis hit the wheel, apparently not expecting anyone to help him.

Jarvis must work on his own to restore his wife's trust and cheer. Jarvis needed to creatively figure out another strategy before it all ended at the trial.
