Blind love

"Yes, I didn't really see it because the body and face were covered. But I asked a journalist. He said it was the body of a young woman."

"Then what about Mr. Levi? Did you know that he was being given to the police station?" James asked.

"What? Checked? Why?"

"Of course because the woman who died was one of his girlfriends!" Kimberly chirped.

"Hey, Kim! Stop that!" Diana, who was annoyed, immediately asked Kimberly to stop.

"Why? Did I say something wrong? Jannet Bouttier's car was found less than 300 meters from the St Louis residential area where our favorite lecturer lives. Haven't you heard the testimony of Jannet's close friend? He said that the previous afternoon Jannet told him that she was going to meet Robert. However, after that there was no further news from him until the time his body was found."

"Wa-wait a minute! What do you mean that the woman has something to do with Mr. Robert? Is she his girlfriend?" Soraya asked. He felt very curious about this part.

"Are you very curious Soraya? Didn't I already say that Robert William Stanley was a scary man. He made women crazy about him, forced them to satisfy his crazy lust and then got rid of them!"

"I think you're going too far, Kim! What really happened is still being investigated by the police. If you really think that he has something to do with Jannet Bourgogne's death, I hope you just keep it in your mind. Because it would be dangerous if you expressed your opinion to other people , especially in the midst of a situation like this." Said David, who can always be relied on to be a good mediator.

"David is right, you are too much Kim!" Diana said with a mocking smile.

"Well, it's up to you! But I'm pretty sure Robert Stanley's reading was involved. This could have been his plan."

"What do you mean!"

"If that's the case, there's a possibility that what Kimberly said is true." James said.

"James? What's wrong? Do you know anything?"

"One of my friends in high school was Jannet Bouttier's cousin who was two years older than us. My friend once said that Jannet had lived with a man who was also an art lecturer at the university for two weeks. I don't know whether it's true or not, but I I'm sure the lecturer in question is Mr. Stanley."

"But, hasn't Mr. Levi ever denied that he was having a relationship with his student? I heard that from one of the seniors." Said Diana, who was still continuing to defend Robert Stanley.

"All of that is just his confession, it's not necessarily true. Besides, how could he admit openly that he had an illicit relationship with his student. He would definitely be expelled from the University. I hope you don't forget the rumors saying that he had sexual deviations terrible!" Kimberly gave a pretty harsh ultimatum to show that she was on the right side.

As David, Diana and James fell silent and loved thinking back to the worst threads from one case to another. Meanwhile, Soraya is in a dilemma with her own thoughts.

He didn't want to believe it and he hoped that all the bad news circulating about the figure he admired would never be proven. Soraya firmly believed that Robert William Stanley was a good person, despite his cold eyes and his always cynical and flat face.

The words he said at that time made an impression on his mind, about the reasons that made him like a doll that looked like a child who had a pure, pure heart, without any prejudice towards other people.

"Porcelain dolls are the souls of children who have pure hearts that's why I really like them."

"I don't believe that Mr. Levi had anything to do with Jannet Bouttier's death. He was a good man, I'm sure of that!" Soraya said. He still remains and will continue to persist in his beliefs.

"Soraya, you?" Diana was moved, so impressed by his words.

Seeing how stubborn Soraya was made Kimberly giggle. He didn't expect that Soraya wouldn't waver at all.

"Oh my God, it turns out it's very difficult to wake up a woman who is in love, right? No matter how terrible the man she loves is, her eyes have been blinded by love."

Soraya didn't really understand his feelings. Although several times he denied his interest in that figure. However, the sarcasm he heard from the people around him made him doubt.

"Falling in love? Am I really falling in love with him?" His mind is with the air he exhales.

Soraya stopped walking, as time went on she began to hesitate about continuing this. His focus began to shift, even though from the start his determination to come to this place was to learn to become a great artist.

"No, I can't be like this. My goal in coming to this war was to learn. I want to become a great painter, just like him. Yes, I want to become a great painter like him."

"What did you say? Great painter?" Asked David who was standing next to her and Soraya didn't even notice his presence.

"David?"

"Why? Don't tell me you didn't notice me at all!"

"N-no, that's not it. I was just thinking!"

"Think?"

"Yes-"

"Okay, I think I know what you're thinking." David smiled. He could understand Soraya so easily even though they hadn't been friends for long.

"Are you psychic?" Soraya asked. He burst out laughing when he saw David's face which looked very serious.

"What?"

"Hahaha... I asked, are you a psychic? Because you said you could read my mind!"

"No, I don't mean anything like that. I can just feel what kind of mood you're in and what problems seem to be bothering you the most."

"Is it true?"

"Yeah! You don't believe it?"

"Uhm...no! I didn't say that, but how did you know?"

"From your eyes!" David said. He looked into Soraya's eyes gently and for a moment, Soraya felt her heart beating faster.

They looked at each other for 10 seconds, until they realized it. Soraya immediately lowered her reddened face and tried to control her awkwardness.

Seeing Soraya who looked confused, David thought that he should discuss something else to eliminate the awkwardness.

"What about tomorrow? I've booked movie tickets for two people."

"T-tomorrow?"

"Yeah! Didn't we already plan that?"

"Ah, y-yes you're right! I almost forgot about it. I'm sorry!"

"No problem, I understand. As long as you don't intend to keep your promise!"
