Melancholia
Chapter 4

Yes, that man was Jacob MacGyver's father to Jack. Jacob is not inferior to his son Jack who is also very cold like his son. Well, surely a father's personality will go down to his son.

After Alvin stops the car and turns off the engine, Alvin continues to get out and open the car door for his boss Jack. "Welcome Young Master Jack" greeted the servants who welcomed Jack's arrival including the chief servant who had just spoken to Jacob. Jack just walked straight into the mansion with his cold flat face, he did not heed the greetings from the bowed waiter saluting him. "Young master" the butler called Jack, "Master Jacob told you to wait in the living room". Jack just wanted it. Jack let out a deep breath, suddenly feeling bad. "Master?" Jack looked at Alvin who called him. "Is your master okay?" Alvin asked the situation of his boss that changed like a curious person suddenly. "Whatever happens today, wait for my direction!" jack said firmly. Jack just kept walking towards the living room of Jacob's mansion.

In the living room, "Ma, what's the matter why Daddy told us to gather here?" a man who looks young compared to Jack speaks to a middle-aged woman aged 50 years and above but still looks elegant and young. "Mama also does not know, Daddy just talk to mama to tell us to sit here together". explained the woman to her son while rubbing spoiled the top of his head.

Suddenly their conversation came to a halt when they saw Jack walking with Alvin to the living room. How surprised they both see Jack who is difficult to set foot into this mansion. "Well, look who's coming" the man said to his mother, while she only smiled cynically. Jack ignored the conversation of the child and the mother instead he walked and sat with the arrogant and did not lose his cold face on the sofa facing the mother and child couple. "Is there a problem with Mario if I come here?" Jack casually took out a cigarette in his pocket and lit it. Yes the man is Mario Jack's half-sister and Violet is his stepmother but Jack never considers them as a family instead considers them like strangers or rather enemies.

"I'm sorry Mario Jack for not being polite to Jack" Violet tried to calm the mood. "I'm not your son" Jack said casually as he exhaled his cigarette smoke. "Heh" Jack chuckled, "That's enough with your performance Violet, there's no director here who wants to shoot your drama" Violet who heard it like she wanted to throw high-heeled shoes at Jack. But Violet tries to hold back her anger and calm her emotions so that no one can suspect her with any more if Jacob sees Violet scolding or yelling at Jack her favorite child. Mario sees his mother being belittled by Jack while waking up and wants to hit Jack in the face. But Jack only saw Mario walking towards him who wanted to hit him just smiling with a grin.

"What are you doing" Mario hasn't had time to do so Jacob comes accompanied by his butler with a face that is very angry to see the action of Mario who wants to hit Jack. Mario just resigned he did not continue his intention to hit Jack. Jack who was still smiling devil woke up and stood in front of Mario removing cigarette smoke from his mouth and exhaled right in front of Mario. "You can't fight me" whispered Jack in Mario's earlobes and then sat back on the sofa with his legs crossed with full of arrogant. Mario who held back his anger clenched his hands and sat back on the sofa in front of Jack.

"Here you go, baby, sit down" Violet tried to calm her husband Jacob down. "They were just fighting about the little things that Mario was magnifying". Violet explained it to Jacob even though that wasn't the case because it was Mario who started it first. Jack who saw it just turned his face in the other direction he was quite bored with the drama that Violet often acted in front of him.

"Here you go, Violet come back to your seat" Jacob simply threw away the matter that had just come to an important halt this time was the announcement he would make to every member of his family. "Do you know why I told you to gather here?" Violet, Mario and Jacob were silent and looked at Jacob's face curiously. Then Jacob gave the code to the servant leader who accompanied him earlier and Alvin to leave them family.

"I'll be stepping down from my position to become CEO of JM Group in the near future because I'm too old to manage it". Mario and Violet still show a flat face to Jacob while their hearts flowered because Jacob finally let go of his position. Jack remained relaxed listening to Jacob's words.

At Layla's.

The Flashback

"You only have one week" Sasha spoke to Layla. "Even 5 minutes I've solved a trivial matter like this" Sasha just chuckled at Layla's words. "Heh, this target is not so easy as before, your previous mission was just like killing a mosquito, for this target you have to kill an elephant" explained Sasha at length. "Any elephant?" Layla just smiled hearing Sasha's explanation. "When the guy is bald and fat, if he wants to go anywhere he's mobbed with a full bodyguard, that's why I say he's like an elephant." Layla who heard that carefully also felt that there was something strange about her target this time. "I can't give you details, the rest you're looking for yourself" Sasha added.

Flashback off

Layla recalls her conversation with Sasha, Layla keeps typing her laptop looking for deeper information about her target this time.

"The company is under the auspices of JM Group, isn't that among the giant companies in Europe?" layla muttered alone. "Sasha said the mission this time was very difficult, but why was I given one week, too short" Layla muttered as she let out a long breath.

*********

A middle-aged man was pouring red wine into his glass, "Master, we've got a little info about him," a man spoke to him like his right man. "Forward" The man spoke with a cold face "Luna Aliyeva died 12 years ago" nervously as the man spoke. Suddenly the glass that the middle-aged man was holding slipped and broke. "What else did you get?" with a face without reaction the middle-aged man asked his right person. "He had a daughter, but the child's data was very closely sealed" the middle-aged man added. "I don't care, you have to find the information about the girl as soon as possible, understand!!" said the middle-aged man in a rather high tone. His right-hand man just assented and kept circulating. "Luna's sorry for me" the middle-aged man said with his eyes glazed over as he rubbed a picture of Luna Aliyeva hugging her at the time.
