Looking at Alex's anger. Andew quickly came near the desk. Andrew's eyes widened in surprise as he saw the file. He lowered his head as if he accepted his mistake.

"So, you are also working for him," Alex said pressing each word.

" No one can go against him, we both know that" Andrew said

" It is him, it has always been him, getting in my way, this is no new to me, I shouldn't have underestimated him, no I shouldn't have underestimated that girl" Alex said, clenched his hand

" I don't want to say this but, I don't think Luna read the file, she signed it blindly without thinking about the consequences"Andrew said

" Oh shit" Andrew suddenly let out a murmur and started to run towards his cabin. He pushed the door suddenly which startled Luna off her chair.

Andrew was breathing heavily as he ran down two floors by stairs to reach his cabin. Seeing this Luna was confused and she didn't understand why he was breathing heavily.
She wanted to ask what happened but didn't. She was just looking at him.

"I need the file, it's my mistake I gave you the wrong file." Andrew said, while extending his hand to take the file. Luna gave him the file without saying anything. Her mind was occupied with something else, maybe about the file.

Few minutes before :-

Luna was lost in her thoughts since Andrew left the cabin, his words echoing in her head over and over again. She finally comes back to senses, breaking the echoes in her head. She realizes that there is a file in her hand which Andrew gave her. She looks at the file . By taking a deep breath she opens the file. Reading 'project 1996' and suddenly Andrew rushed into the cabin .

Present :-

Andrew thinks about the conversation between him and Alex. He looked at Luna with some strange amount of concern. He wanted to save Luna from this situation. He felt that luna was innocent, moreover she looked too young to die.

He also wanted to ask if she read the file before signing. He didn't cause he knew she didn't read it .

" When are you going to move in , miss Luna ? "Andrews asked, his voice was a whisper

" Pardon me, I couldn't hear what you are trying to say, Sir." Luna says with her soft voice

"Nothing, I'm trying to say you can leave now, you don't have any work today. I will mail you later about the work" Andrew said

" So, she didn't read the conditions of the file. But why?" He asked himself

Luna wanted to say something yet she didn't. She silently left . She entered the cab thinking something. The driver waited for some time and asked " where do you want to go, madam? "

" Downtown" She said, her voice was low yet not sad.

"Downtown!" He said quickly in shock.

No wonder he was shocked downtown is a street where most of the thugs live even men are scared to go there sometimes. Hearing the word 'downtown' from a girls mouth . It rarely happens. No it never happened. This is the first time. That is why the driver is still looking at Luna with wide eyes.

Downtown-

One and half hours have passed. It is a long journey to downtown. The car stopped in front of an apartment. The building was in grey color which looks like a haunted place with the street lights not working properly.

Luna gets off the cab talking to someone on her phone "I'm back home"

Luna climbs the stairs, in the darkness only her footsteps can be heard . The footsteps as she opened the door , a dim light fell on her face. Her blue eyes shine even in the dim light, just like the stars shining brightly in the darkest nights. Though this place is creepy, her room was so well maintained that it feels like home .

She sat in front of her laptop as mail popped up. Reading the mail her eyes widened not only because of shock but something that feels like ripping her apart. She tried to calm herself and read again. She stopped reading as she realized reading it again and again will not change anything.

"What have I done" the words slipped out of her mouth with confusion, irritation, and anger all at once. She doesn't know what to do in this situation. She reached her phone calling someone . There was no response. She was tired, so she fell on the bed slowly falling asleep.

5 In the morning

Luna suddenly jerked awake by sitting on the bed. Her face was dipped with sweat. Taking a deep breath she tells herself ' it is just a dream, it is just a dream' . Her eyes went on to the clock 5:00

She knows she can't sleep again, not after that dream. After freshening up she goes to the window to open it, letting the cold blaze lift her hair softly, a small smile forming on her face in peace. Though it didn't last long, looking at the laptop she remembered the last night . The colors on her face faded away. She tried to call the same number again and again but failed.

" God damn, she never answers the call" Luna yells while throwing her phone onto the bed.

Just then the phone rings, she grabs the phone and an unknown number is visible on the screen. At 6:00 clock who would have called her? Thinking this she answers the call .

" Miss Luna, are you ready? " a voice came

She recognized the voice ,it was Andrew
" I need some time to pack my stuff"

Andrew said " Okay then, the car will be there" and ended the call without letting Luna speak

She packed her stuff and started to go down stairs with luggage . Her steps were so flat , she walked as she didn't want to go forward. She finally reachs the car which is waiting right in front of her apartment.

The driver opened the door for her and took the luggage from her saying " Madam, you should have called me. Why did you bring the luggage all by yourself"

Luna was lost in her own thoughts and forgot to say something. Driver didn't bother her by asking for it again . He sat in the car and drove to Foster's mansion. As the car stopped in front of the mansion. Luna was lost looking at such a big mansion . It looks so beautiful from outside the gates. She wonders how much more beauty it holds. She came back to her senses as the car door was opened by the driver.

The amusement in her face vanished as she thought " Yes, this mansion is so beautiful or even more that words can't describe it's beauty. But what I have to face in this mansion scarys the most. I have never been with a man before. Never. I didn't have a boyfriend nor a male friend. May I could have made one , only if I had met someone before. The interview was the first time I talked to a stranger. I have met man as a walk by person but I never talked" Thinking all this she stood in front of the gate like a statue with no expression.
