Chapter 2: Guy In The Elevator
An annoying damp smell was a patent scent in that place. An old abandoned factory building was a hive for the parasites who harmed their hosts to fill their stomachs.
A tall man with an unbuttoned shirt at the chest was sitting casually on a black leather sofa that looked expensive and comfortable. He inhaled a cigarette and then blew the smoke into the air. The man was very young, he was only 22 years old. But he was able to supervise hundreds of subordinates and his office was full of sacks filled with money.
A man in a black T-shirt entered the room and walked closer.
“Dragger will deposit.” Said the brown skin man, with thick black eyebrows.
It wasn’t long before another man entered the same room. His style was very tacky with a big gold chain dangled around his neck. His hand that attached to gold rings, was carrying a black-painted iron suitcase.
“Salute!” He put his hand on his forehead, but could not cover up his pretentious behaviour.
“Dragger is depositing on time this week. Good business lately.” He laughed. But the two men were just kept silent. They actually didn’t like that runny boy who gave a lot of chit-chats. It was a bit surprising that he could have been a gang leader.
.....
“Very well. We believe you and will count the money later.” Said the man in the black T-shirt. Regularly, they would immediately count the deposit money right away.
“How are things in the north?” Asked the man who was sitting on the main chair.
“Lately there had been some kids who bully my subordinates while they were working. I’m still investigating who he was.”
The man put his cigarette butts on top of a skull-shaped ashtray. “Looks like the same brats who bothered us in the west. You better take care of this problem to end. Don’t make me take my step in.”
“Ayay! Then I’ll go back now. Good night!” He said excitedly.
“If he wasn’t good at fighting, maybe he would have ended up under the bridge.” The man continued his smoking activity.
“Hem.” The man in black just nodded. Then he lifted the suitcase onto the table that was brought by the earlier boy and opened it.
The suitcase was filled with crumpled and neat money merged into one. But everything was neatly bundled up. They knew some insects were trying to disturb their business. Although at this time, they didn’t know who the culprit was, they also knew that that person didn’t know where the snakehead of this illegal business was.

It was Emma’s third day in the city of Handway. Yesterday she had been around a little and went to the supermarket to fill her refrigerator. Although Jonas had filled everything for her, including Emma’s wardrobe before the girl moved there.
Early in the morning, Emma went out by her brand new car to her new university. At this time, she was a transfer student in the university. Of course, she was excited to face the new environment and imagined what it would be like to live as a normal student where people did not know which kind of family she came from. Since her childhood, Emma had no friends because she was very naughty and everyone knew that she was the daughter of Andreas Hilland, the leader of a big mafia who was rich and powerful.
Emma’s car arrived at a large university building. Although the size was not as big as her previous university, but this one was not bad at all, the architecture was also gorgeous.
Emma got into the parking lot and got out of the car with a leather backpack on her back. The campus was still pretty quiet, but there were some students hanging around already. Unexpectedly, the students here also had a good fashion sense. They all looked cool, just like the students from her previous university. Looked like Emma could adapt well there. She only has to remember how the way kids at her old campus spoke, it was definitely not so different from here. As she walked, Emma felt some kid was staring at her. It seemed like turned out the same everywhere, that her face was always been the centre of attention.
Emma had to get the locker key and some files in the administration room on the third floor. So she had to take the elevator or stairs from the ground floor. After looking for a little, Emma found an elevator adjacent to the stairs, not too far after entering the main door. Of course, she chose to take the elevator instead of the stairs, but the problem was the elevator door, which was wide open, began to close automatically.
“Wait!” Shouted Emma as she ran to that thing. However, the door was still moving to close.
“Wait!” She shouted again after almost getting there. And luckily, her efforts had been paid off. As well as someone was pressing the open button from the inside.
Emma gasped as she thanked in front of the door. Then her eyes met with a guy’s eyes who holding the elevator door for her. The guy was tall with a long, slender nose and slightly small eyes. He was wearing an oversized sky blue shirt which was looked so good on his wide shoulder, and white trousers. He smiled pleasantly and shifted sideways a step to give the girl some space.
“Floor?” Asked the guy.
“3rd floor. Thank you.” Emma answered.
“Yup! You’re welcome.” He said.
Emma pulled out a large, folded paper that was a map of their campus. She took a peek at a part that she had previously marked and examined.
“Sorry, did you just move here?” Asked the guy after realizing that the girl beside him looked a bit confused.
“Huh? Yes, right. This is my first day here. So ..” She showed off her map with a confused smirk. Claimed that she didn’t know anything about this building.
The guy nodded “What room are you looking for? I’ll show you the way.” he said, glancing at the small screen above the elevator doors that showed the second-floor sign.
“Ah ... It’s okay. I don’t want to be bothersome.”
“It won’t be a bother. Besides, I came too early today. Where are you going to? Administration room?” He guessed at the same time when the elevator doors opened on the third floor.
“Right,” Emma answered at once.
“Okay, I’ll take you there.” He held the door and his hand gestured for the girl to get out first.
“The administration room is not far from here. It’s on the third floor, because the first and second floors are filled with large halls and theatres.” He explained as he walked.
As Emma walked beside him, she nodded. She was not used to chatting casually with people who had the same age as her like this “Thanks for the information.”
“Well .. That’s the room.” He pointed to a glass door with an administrative sign above. Then walked faster.
“Usually, handling the administration stuff here may take one or two hours. The first class will start about an hour later. You better hurry.” He said after arriving at the door
“Thank you so much for spending your time to take me here.” Said Emma gratefully. How nice this guy is. Even so, she was used to facing a guy who was always nice to her because of her beautiful appearance.
“Don’t mind.. Ah, sorry. I’m Calvin Lee. Nice to meet you.” He stretched out his hand quickly.
“Emma.” She replied.
“I have to go now. I hope you’ll have a good time at this university. Bye!” He waved as he walked away in hurry.
“Thanks again!” Emma exclaimed in response to the guy’s small wave.
He went up to the next floor using the stairs. It seemed like the guy was lying when he said he was coming too early. Obviously, he was in a hurry for something.
