My honey,

I know how you might have felt when Melody accepted the money. You might have felt betrayed. And you might have felt that even Melody compromises ideologies just for some money. You have every right to feel so. I knew Melody would accept the money because she has got a family and for her, money is important. But when a friend does that, we all will feel betrayed. You want everyone to be perfect. You try to be ideal and expect everyone to be so. But see, we have to accept that all human beings have different characters. If you ask Melody why she accepted the money, she will give some excuse. The excuse may appear ridiculous to you. But she may have her own reasons. We can't ask all people to be ideal. They may gain in terms of money and other things, but what they lose is their personality. And you, what you get is respect and admiration. I am 100% sure that all the people in your office regard you with respect. When they do something wrong, their conscience will them "if Sabrina knows about this..." That is your victory. For them, you are the symbol of truth. When they betray you, they betray their conscience. You don't have to cry for them. Your tears are precious. It is not for shedding for the small people who betray themselves. Your beautiful eyes are my fortune. It must never get wet.

Melody is a good friend of yours. She and you have shared many things. So your friendship should continue. We have to forgive our friends if they do something wrong. That is what friendship is. I know in the depth of your mind, you will feel uncomfortable. You need a clear explanation from Melody. That you can ask her. Sometime when you two are together without anyone nearby, you can casually ask her why she accepted the money. But you have to do it in such a way that you won't hurt her. If you directly ask, she will get hurt, because she knows that she has done the wrong thing. So when you two are discussing Mr. Li and the budget of the company, you can jokingly ask her. I would say, never quit the friendship of Melody. You know she also has problems.

Nobody in your company tells you what to do because you are not working under anyone. As I told you, you are your boss and the others know it. That is why they don't offer any advice. They know that you can do your job without any suggestions from anyone. They know that what you are doing is the best because you have proved yourself many times. You should consider yourself lucky if nobody tells you what to do because you are above all of them. That is your achievement.

Today is the 16th. The date you start work in Italy restaurant. I didn't like my girl taking orders from any man. If someone looks at you badly, my blood will boil. Keep in mind that you are not any waitress, you are the princess of our empire. You are just checking out the different jobs. That is all. I love you.

Love

Kamal
