After Kıvılcım left Ünal Holding, she went straight to Fatma's house. She knocks twice before Fatma opens the door. Fatma sees in Kıvılcım's eyes that she still hasn't calmed down.
Fatma: I wonder if I should leave you outside so the cold can cool you down. (Kıvılcım laughs) Come inside, I'll make some coffee.
Kıvılcım sinks into the couch. A few minutes later Fatma comes out with two cups of coffee in her hands. She gives Kıvılcım one and sits down on the couch.
Fatma: What happened when you went over there? Did you call him stupid again?
Kıvılcım: No, I called him an idiot this time around. He says he didn't try to sabotage me and that he only found out later that I was the other buyer.
Fatma: You don't believe him?
Kıvılcım: No, I of course don't. I don't know if he is trying to challenge me or provoke me though. Usually I can immediately feel what someone wants or is trying to do, but with him I kinda feel blindsided.
Fatma: So what are we going to do? Is there anyway that we can get that paintings? It's a big loss for us.
Kıvılcım: I don't see how we can honestly. I honestly realize how important those paintings was and is for Veritas but you know I won't bow before no man.
Fatma: I understand and I know you won't canım, but I also know if he did something like that, he wants something out of it. What does he want?
Kıvılcım turned her eyes to her coffee cup.
Kıvılcım: He wants an apology.
Fatma raised her eyebrows.
Fatma: We can forget it then unless I can persuade you to do it.
Kıvılcım: I was right for calling him a stupid and an idiot, he proved me right two times Fatma. If he didn't do this, I would've build my courage to go and apologize but he messed with one of the most important things in my life and for that he doesn't need an apology.
Fatma: But Kıvılcım...
Kıvılcım: No Fatma, my decision is final.
Fatma: Okay, then we move on.
A while later Fatma realizes that something deeper is bothering Kıvılcım. At first she hesitated to ask her because she doesn't want to push Kıvılcım any further.
Fatma: There's something else that's bothering you. You want to talk about it?
Kıvılcım outs her cup on the coffee table and crosses her legs on the couch, leaning back.
Kıvılcım: Ömer was giving me a look.
Fatma is looking with curious eyes at Kıvılcım.
Fatma: What look canım?
Kıvılcım: When I got to my car afterwards I started realizing that he was giving me that look since I walked into his office. But because of my anger I only noticed it when I was basically standing chest to chest with him.
Fatma's eyes go wide and is still in a state of confusion.
Fatma: Woah canım slow down. Start from the beginning.
Kıvılcım turns towards Fatma and starts explaining.
Kıvılcım: Ömer seems like the type of guy who is always the cat and never the mouse. I'm usually the cat in my world...
Fatma: I'm confused what are you talking about...
Kıvılcım: Be quiet Fatma, I'm trying to explain. I don't think it's often that Ömer comes across someone like me and it's hard for him to come to terms that I won't be the mouse. I think he realized that the moment I stepped into his office today. Fatma the way he was looking at me, I felt like prey. He was scanning me from head to toe. When I was talking to him, it felt like he wasn't listening. His gaze was on my lips, my eyes, my chest... It was everywhere. I immediately became self aware but I didn't break, instead I called him out on it.
