Nenetl made it home, and she was a little exhausted from work. It was not as bad, but the children's health worried her and the teachers. They were eventually given some medicine for the children; they got better. Tomorrow was Saturday, and Nenetl would relax. It was her chance to explore more of Hungary. "Might as well go on an adventure." 

The young woman was cooking herself dinner until her phone rang. When she looked at it, it was a number she didn't recognize but still answered. "Hello?"

"Hello, Nenetl; forgive me for calling you so late. Is it a good time to speak?"

It was Ferenc. The young woman was surprised since she and Ferenc had gone to the cafe earlier in the day. She couldn't help but wonder how he got her phone number.

"If you are wondering how I got your phone number, it was in your paperwork. Now, I'm sure you're wondering why I'm calling you. Tomorrow is the weekend, and I wanted to ask what you planned on doing."

This caught Nenetl off guard. It seemed off that he would call her outside her working schedule to ask what she planned on doing. "I was planning on relaxing and exploring. Mr. Ferenc, is it appropriate for my supervisor to call me after work hours? I don't want to get in trouble or give people the wrong idea."

She heard him chuckle on the other line. "You shouldn't worry about what others think; I am the school's owner. Besides, I enjoyed our conversation and would like to know more about you. Since you're going to travel, I would like to tour the area briefly."

Nenetl felt confused. "I also enjoyed our conversation, but that isn't necessary, Mr. Ferenc. I would like us to keep professional boundaries of my respect for you. I am certain you are known and respected in the area, so I-"

"Miss. Nenetl. You don't need to worry about such trivial things. To let you know, I have a reputation in Hungary, and people wouldn't dare question my actions. I have done much for Hungary and other parts of Europe; my influence is vast. With that, I will be your tour guide. What time are you planning on traveling?"

The young woman wanted to let out a groan of annoyance. She wanted to explore independently and felt it wasn't right for her main boss to go with her. It didn't feel right. However, she worked for him, and the main reason for coming to Hungary was her position and experience. He also mentioned he had considerable influence in Hungary and other parts of Europe. Nenetl thought it wouldn't be wise to create tension for the issue. Also, it would be an opportunity to know him a little and to make a friend, in a sense. "I will be going at 9 a.m. since more people are awake."

"Perfect, I will meet you at the bookstore. Would you happen to know where it is? It is close to work."

"I didn't notice."

"I will send you the directions. I will see you tomorrow."

Ferenc hung up the phone. "That was plain weird. What is up with this guy?" Nenetl sighed as she continued cooking, but she would bring protective gear and let her father know her whereabouts for safekeeping. She had always done it in the past just in case something went wrong.

Meanwhile, Ferenc had just finished with the phone call; he smirked. He knew Nenetl was annoyed that he wanted to go with her for her little trip. It felt refreshing that someone didn't want to go out with them. It could become a bore of always being accepted. Nenetl seemed to have self-respect and wisdom. He wanted to go out with her mainly to know more about her and her weaknesses. He did view her as a threat since she was headstrong and intelligent.

Yet, it is satisfying to find a woman who was like that. He could have good conversations, leading to debates; he liked stimulating his mind. Ferenc couldn't believe what he was thinking. He was looking forward to going out with a woman, the gender he thought was worthless and vile. Yet, Nenetl seemed different. It didn't interest her when he told her he had much influence in other countries; she still wanted out of his little proposition. Even though he viewed her as a threat, he couldn't help but view her as a challenge, which excited him. 

Ferenc then took out his phone and dialed a number. "Endre, I'm glad you answered. I would like you to look up some more information about a woman. I can pay you. I will also send you some of my paperwork on her." He hung up the phone.

Ferenc was alone in his study as he felt his heart beating rapidly. He had the urge to kill. However, he decided to refrain from killing women for the day. Tomorrow, Ferenc will be going out with Nenetl. Deep down, he hoped she would disappoint enough for him to kill her. Yet, another side of him hoped that she was different. He will find out eventually.
