DYLAN LORENZO POV:)

I continued walking again while still scratching my head. Because Mandy is weird and her OA is getting worse and worse. They are the same as his mom, too OA. After all, they are mother and daughter. I'm used to Mandy's behavior, it doesn't bother me. I even laughed at him.

When I entered the office, I found Kuya Ramon getting hot water from the water dispenser. It looks like he just arrived because he was just having coffee.

"Good morning." It greeted me when it saw me with the water dispenser closed.

"Good morning." I said with a serious face. I put my bag containing the papers on the table. After I sat down, Kuya Ramon went to his desk while stirring his coffee.

I opened the computer and then it spoke.

"Miss Mandy came back and forth to the office yesterday." This is the beginning.

"Why?" I asked while typing the password.

"He always asks you if he's here." I was a little stunned by this story, I almost didn't move the mouse I was holding." Then he came here earlier, looking for you." It adds.

I secretly smiled mischievously and continued typing on the computer.

JOHNSER SY POV:)

"Change it."

Papa put the USB on his desk. Regretfully I took it and almost fell. I showed Papa the video ads I made, it's almost my idea here. I don't know why Papa didn't like it.

"You didn't like it, Papa?" I stuttered.

"Should I make you repeat it if I don't want to?" Dad's philosophical sermon to me. I was silenced by what Papa said."How can you be a CEO if your works and ideas are garbage? You still lack marketing and experience. I don't know if you are the right one to inherit it!" Papa shouted.

I swallowed saliva at what he said, I almost bowed down. I was a little hurt by what Papa said unlike before when Papa's words had a serious effect on me. Now, I'm getting used to it.

"I'm sorry, Dad." I asked for forgiveness while bowing."I'll say it again." I said calmly.

"Fix it. I like it, beautiful. Unique." It's a command.

"Okay, Dad." I said in a calm voice.

I have bowed out of respect. I turned to leave. After I left the office, I gripped the USB hard in my hand and almost broke it with a stone everywhere. I walked away angrily.

ELIZABETH VILLATORTE POV:)

I was carrying the cleaning equipment when I entered Sir Johnser's office. I was just surprised to see me inside. There was a broken vase and scattered books. Things were out of order and the interior seemed to be in a storm.

I caught up with Sir Johnser who was just sitting on the swivel with his head resting on it and his eyes closed. There is only one reason why his office is messy again. Maybe something happened again that hurt his feelings. Sir can't do this without a reason.

I slowly walked in front of his desk. Kneel down to pick up the broken vases. I was just surprised when Sir Johnser spoke which made me raise my head.

"It's me." He said that he was currently looking at her.

He was about to speak when he got up from his seat and headed to the front where I was. It quickly knelt down and picked up the broken vases. He put it in a small plastic. I quickly refused what he was doing.

"Never mind, Sir. It's just me." I said that he was trying to grab the plastic bag from me.

"No. It's me." It said firmly.

There was nothing I could do so I just pouted. I was still on my knees like him, just watching him do it. Unexpectedly, Sir Johnser lightly touched the sharp broken vase causing it to injure his finger.

"Sir!" I exclaimed in shock when I witnessed that.

I quickly grabbed his hand which was bleeding. I suddenly stood up and pulled it which also caused it to stand up from kneeling. CR and I went in and cleaned his wound. Then, I quickly took my wallet out of my pocket and took out the magical band-aid I was hiding. Because I always bury it, in case I get injured. Then he covered it with his finger where he was injured.

"Okay, sir." I smiled at this after being bound." I will, Sir, clean it all up. Maybe it will increase even more." I told him.

I didn't see any expression on his face but he just looked at me normally. We also left the CR and went to the location of his scattered things. I took the plastic cloves from my cleaning kit and put them on.

Before I knelt down to pick up the buns, I was surprised to see Sir Johnser standing right in front of me. I just looked at it and signaled with my eyes what else he would do.

"I want to see how you clean up the mess so that next time I will clean up my mess so that you don't get tired." It said with a smile.

"Oh?" I just figured it out. Right, I'm Jannitress? Sir, are we now upside down?

I just shrugged. I knelt down and picked up the broken vases while Sir just stood in front of me and looked at what I was doing. Sir looks like a security guard, watching me in case I steal something.

LORISETTE YU POV:)

I need to confirm if your suspicion is true. If Johnser likes that jannitress. My son and I must not spoil our plan. He needs to marry the heir to the UPhone. When that happens, we will be even more blessed and my dream of building the biggest casino in all of Asia will come true. I am the richest woman in the world.

But...what if there's more to it? What if the two have a relationship? No! Not allowed! I need to confirm first then I will judge. That's right!

I was in front of Johnser's office door. I looked around me to check if there was anyone. Without it, I secretly opened the door softly and peeked in. I saw Johnser and the janitress talking. I frowned as if the jannitress was moving something in her hand. I couldn't see it because Johnser covered it.

I was just surprised by what happened next. The jannitress rushed in front of Johnser and...

"Oh my god!" I exclaimed in my mind. The two are doing something rude. Oh my!

ANDREW SY POV:)

I'm going to Johnser's office now to say hello to what's bothering him now. There are only three weeks before the launch of the new model of Uphone and becoming the new heir of the company. My assistant was with me as he followed me and I stopped walking slightly when I saw something familiar to me.

I saw Lorisette, Leandro's wife at the door of Johnser's office and she seemed to be peeking inside. I was so surprised that I approached it. When it was in front of me, I stopped walking and waited for it to notice me.

I just saw it held in the mouth as if shocked by what was seen inside. Was he peeking at Johnser? It's a sign of him, he's still lusting after Johnser?

When it noticed me, it inhaled slightly. His face shows shock and anxiety. His face was serious as I looked at him and waited for him to explain.

"W-what..." It started stuttering.

"Oh?" I will ask.

He made a sign with his hand and mouth as if he insulted me. This is the sign of gays when they ask you to...want to give you a blowjob. Did he invite me? Is he this thirsty for sex? Doesn't Leandro make her happy and invite me to have sex? Alas! Don't let him try me, I might drag him anywhere.

My assistant was surprised by what he was doing.

"Excuse me." I said bluntly.

He backed away when I went inside. When I entered, I found Johnser facing his computer while his jannitress was placing the books one by one on the bookshelves. I even looked at Lorisette as if she was a gossip looking at what was happening inside. When he saw me looking at him he immediately smiled very big.

"I-I thought my son was there. Oh he is! Babosh!" Reason for this and quickly leave.

I just shook my head at Lorisette's weird behavior. Even if it's really necessary, he's very OA. I don't know why Leandro liked that and it was also very scandalous. After all, their parents only reconciled them because of business.

"Uncle, there you are." Johnser exclaimed when he saw me, he almost stood up from sitting.

I got close to where I was while my assistant followed me.

LEANDRO YU POV:)

"People don't want to talk about where Cassandra's son is." The investigator I hired told me.

"Why?" I want to ask.

"Because Cassandra is said to have bought something before she died. If someone is looking for her or her son, don't tell them where they are." This is the answer.

I looked in another direction. "Because of Lorisette." I think turan. Because he has moved away from what he is threatening her with. It's my fault why his life was ruined so I have to find my son---our son.

I just looked at the envelope placed on the table. I looked at it strangely when I took what he gave me.

"What is this?" I will ask. I opened it and a photo opened up to me."W-what? W-what is it for?" I stammered here, I almost looked at it.

"I was still searching their house and I got something. I only took it because someone suddenly came so I didn't take it anymore." This explanation." That was a threat that Miss Cassandra used to receive and that is the reason why the villagers were warned not to tell where her daughter was. It was as if she was avoiding something."

My eyes widened at what was announced. I quickly turned the photo and read the death threats that Cassandra had been receiving. I don't know who did it and it's unlikely that Lorisette did it. Even if Lorisette had a bad attitude, she couldn't do something like this.

It says, "Keep your mouth shut." And the ink used there is blood-colored and the writing is creepy.

The investigator I hired left a shoe box on my desk. I just looked at it to see what it contained.

"What is this?"

He opened the box and revealed to me a knife with a red stain that I knew was blood.

"That's where that letter is written. Maybe that thing is at the same time as threatening Ma'amm Cassandra." He said this and my eyes widened.

I quickly looked at the knife. It's familiar to me. Where have I seen this?

Why does this silence Cassandra? What is the meaning of this? Who made this? Since when has he received something like this? Could he have a reason for staying away?

ELIZABETH VILLATORTE POV:)

I just finished cleaning Sir Johnser's office and I just came to the locker room to change my clothes. It's my lunch now and I'm late for break time. It was 2 in the afternoon and I knew that Rose had lunch at 12. I finished cleaning Sir Johnser's office for later, I'll just clean it there.

I hope Sir doesn't get lost every day because it's really tiring to clean up his mess. What else can I do, this is my job, cleaning up his mess.

After I left the locker room, my cell phone rang suddenly. I quickly took it out of my faded bag and looked for my cellphone. When I got it, I quickly answered the caller because I hadn't said hello yet, someone bumped into me causing my phone to fall to the floor.

I quickly looked at the person who bumped into me. Instead of apologizing, he just walked past me and walked away. I met that person, that was Sir Johnser's father's assistant.

In a pout, I knelt down to get my cp. After getting it, I stood up from my seat and wiped the screen of my cp with the sleeve of my bottom dress. It's good that there is no scratch. It's very important to me, it's a gift from Ros. This is one of the most cherished things I received from him. He worked hard for it so I have to love it too.

My cp rang again and I saw that it was Ros calling. I answered this while continuing to walk.

"Hello? Yes?" I answered with a smile.

"Where are you?" Ros asked while he was on the other line.

"I'm going to eat."

"I'm outside. Let's eat lunch together, I still haven't eaten." He said that surprised me.

"Ah?! Wait! Wait for me there, ah? I'm going down."

I ran and took the elevator.

We are now at the cafeteria. It's a bit far from Uphone but if you walk, it's only about 5 minutes, it's there. Ros did put rice on my plate when he ordered extra rice. The dish we ordered was ground and sliced.

"Delicious?" Ros asked me.

My mouth was full and I nodded in response. "It's delicious." I said softly and smiled briefly. I can't smile too much because there is still a lot of food in my mouth.

"After this, we're 7/11." He smiled at me. I was very happy to see it. He nodded at me with a smile."We're going to buy ice cream." He says.

"Thank you." My sweet thanks to him.

Smiling, he filled my glass with the coke he ordered. Then, I took it and drank it immediately. I continued eating again, I enjoyed what I was eating especially with Ros.

When he poured coke into his glass, I asked him.

"What time do you return to work?"

"Hmm, 4 but I'm out at 5:30." He answered while drinking the coke in the glass. Then he spoke again."Yes, by the way, after we eat, I will go to your boss's office."

I swallowed what I was eating before speaking."Really? Who? Sir Cedric or Sir John---"

"The new heir." Ros immediately replied that it was because I didn't finish what I said.

"Oh! It's Sir Johnser." I said turning to my plate and took a bite of the spoon containing the food.

"Do you know his office?" He asked me.

I looked at him.

I smiled and nodded at him in response."Come with me and I'll introduce you to him." I said smiling sweetly at him. Then I continued eating.
