Fernando was stunned when he read an article about Elora Village. He, who was born and raised in Canada, had never heard of that village at all. The hectic life in the business world made him unaware that there was a very beautiful place in his country.
"Are you sure this is in Canada?" asked Fernando, incredulously.
"Yes, of course, the distance from Ottawa to Elora only takes about five hours," replied William, quickly, while enjoying the vodka in the glass.
"How do you know about this village, Will?" asked Fernando, curious. For some reason he was very curious about the village he had just seen.
"Do you remember Doctor Adam who came a few days ago to the hospital?" William asked back briefly.
"The doctor that you said gets medical supplies from our hospital, right?" said Fernando, quietly.
"Yes, he comes from that village," said William, excitedly.
Fernando fell silent when he heard the words of his friend, He looked back at the laptop screen and browsed about Elora Village. His curiosity was very high towards the village, as if there was a strong whisper that asked him to find out about that beautiful village as soon as possible.
William paused and saw that Fernando was busy with his laptop. He enjoyed his liquor while seducing Justin and Harry to drink with him but both of Fernando's best assistants refused him continuously, which made him annoyed.
"Come on, just one sip, it feels really bad drinking alone," said William, curtly, as he gave two glasses of brandy filled with vodka to Justin and Harry who sat in front of him.
"Don't force them to drink, Will, they still have things to do," Fernando said, curtly, and forbade William to give liquor to his two best assistants.
"You're too stiff, Fernando, just let these two young people drink. At least, let them enjoy the life of the night," William sneered, irritably.
"Never mind that, drink it yourself, I specially took it out of the storage for you," Fernando replied dryly, and William glanced sharply.
"Fine, Mister Dictator, I will not force two of your robotic men to drink. I'll finish it myself, hahaha…" William said with a laugh. He was a little drunk, apparently.
That was his first time drinking alcoholic beverage. For nine months that Fernando was away to France, he never drank a drop. William was busy with work in the hospital, as he tried to cover up all of Viona's case. In fact, he also gave a big money as a gratitude to Mrs. Jasmine, who had helped Viona to the hospital at that time. Not to mention the business at Global Bross Hospital which took up all his time every day.
Fernando just smiled as he saw his best friend started to babble on his luxurious sofa. He felt a little guilty to his friend because he had kept him busy during his trip to France. Fernando gave all his business to William and Dexter to manage the hospital. He had also asked William to monitor his younger sibling, Frank, at the hospital.
"I'm sorry, Will, I always bother you," said Fernando quietly with a smile at William who had just drunk the Vodka straight from the bottle.
Fernando then ordered Justin and Harry to lead William to the guest room that he had prepared beforehand for his friend. He then returned and focused on his laptop which presented various articles about the Elora Village.
"What's wrong with this village? Why I am so curious about this small village?" Fernando murmured softly, as he continued to read articles scattered on the internet about the beauty and charm of Elora Village.
"Sorry to interrupt, Master," said Justin and Harry at the same time, and broke Fernando's concentration, who stared at his laptop screen.
"What is wrong?" Fernando asked, quietly, without taking his eyes off the laptop.
"We want to say goodbye to..."
"No, you stay here. Tomorrow morning there is an important task for you. You both go to rest now. Tomorrow when I'm ready to go, then I will wake you up," said Fernando, as he interrupted Justin's words, quickly.
Justin and Harry looked at each other for a moment, but they both finally nodded their heads slowly in response to Fernando's words. The two talented young men immediately went to another room to rest, and left Fernando, who was still busy with his laptop.
Because there was no one in the living room, Fernando turned off the light that was still on in the living room, using five claps of hands. Fernando's apartment was already using advanced technology, so he didn't have to walk to the wall to turn off any electronic equipment. Fernando preferred to work in low lights conditions, so he could see the scenery outside of his beautiful apartment. As the night fell, he could see the view of all the houses and buildings around the city very clearly.
Because his apartment was in one of the tallest skyscrapers in Ottawa, Fernando had a very wide view from his super luxury apartment. This had always been what he wanted to calm his heart. When the night fell, Fernando felt more comfortable in a place like this than in his mansion, which was no less luxurious. Being in his mansion made the bad memories of Viona came back to his mind. It was as if his luxurious mansion played back all the memories he didn't want to remember, but all corners of his mansion deliberately returned his memories of Viona. Therefore, Fernando decided to live in the apartment. That was why when he was in France for nine months Fernando ordered Justin to return to Canada to take care of the apartment he now comfortably lived in.
"Elora... Elora... Elora... Why does the name of this village sound very interesting? What kind of charm is there in this village?" Fernando said to himself, as he laid down on the expensive sofa in the reading room.
Fernando looked up at the sky which was very bright, so he could see several twinkling stars in the sky. Because of too much work today, Fernando fell asleep in the reading room with his laptop that was still showed a video footage taken by some tourists who uploaded their travel videos in Elora Village. Fernando fell asleep quickly. He, who usually would sleep past twelve at night, could sleep at eleven at night in peace. Hearing the name of the Elora Village had made him felt comfortable. And he didn't understand that feeling at all.

Meanwhile, in a bar that was quite crowded with many young people, two women dressed in sexy clothes were enjoying the expensive liquor that was served in front of them. They also enjoyed the cigarettes in their hands.
"I think all of my struggles will soon bear fruit, Lucia," said Amelia Smith a.k.a Ammy, laughing broadly.
"Hahaha... I like you, Lucia, I have obtained a very good medicine. This medicine is tasteless, odorless, and doesn't change the color of drinks or food, so when I use it to carry out my actions tomorrow, no one will notice it, Lucia, hahaha," shrieked Ammy, in a shrill voice.
"Keep the spirit up to get to that title, Doc..."
"Hey don't forget, don't call me by my title here. You only need to call me Mrs. Willan, hahaha..." said Ammy, as she interrupted Lucia's words, while she hugged her best friend tightly.
"Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm sorry Mrs. Willan, haha," squeaked Lucia, teasing Ammy.
Indeed, she immediately contacted her friend who had a drug business in Colombia. Ammy deliberately ordered a high quality stimulant drug to trap Fernando tomorrow morning, because tomorrow morning she had a schedule to meet with Fernando to give a report. And for that, she immediately got ready, the illegal drug was in her hands and was ready to be used.
"Tomorrow morning, you will be mine, Fernando, when all of that is done, you will definitely make me Mrs. Willan. I can't wait for tomorrow morning, my love, Fernando Gray Willan," said Ammy, confidently.
