"Are you okay?" asked Riki. He brought a glass of hot drink for Irene, who was sitting on a chair on the roof of the building.
The woman just sat silently, staring ahead with a blank expression.
When she realized that Riki was sitting next to her, offering her a glass of hot drink, she began to come to her senses and smiled at Riki.
"Jean said he would take care of that man. You know, Jean also has a grudge against that man. So, don't worry. Drink up."
Irene lifted the glass of warm drink, sipped it slowly, and returned to her own thoughts.
Riki understood that Irene was just wrestling with her thoughts. It wasn't easy for her to forget what had happened to her.
In the past, Riki thought that being beautiful or handsome would make life easier.
But, it turned out that wasn't the case.
Irene was proof of that. Her beauty had brought her misfortune.
