Candy went straight to Yazmine's place so they could go to the small hotel the company had rented for the party. She had informed Diego through a message but hadn't received a reply. Was he still mad at her? Maybe she should have just obeyed him. No, she needed to earn his respect. Stepping into the large, comfortable apartment, Candy smiled. "Your place is beautiful," she remarked. "Really? Thanks," Yazmine said. "What would you like to drink?" "Oh no, I'm fi..." Before she could finish, Yazmine gave her a glare. "I mean, an orange juice will do." Hearing this, Yazmine's smile returned. "Better," she said. Candy took a deep breath. "Her look can literally kill," she mumbled. --- Meanwhile, Alexa walked into a cold street and made a call. "I'm here already. Where are you?" she asked the person on the other side. "There's a black car across the street. Come and meet me there," the person ordered. Alexa's eyes darted around and spotted the black, luxurious car. Ge

"Why are you so surprised?" Diego asked, sitting on a chair in the corner and crossing his leg."I... I didn't expect you to be... here sir," Alexa stammered again. 'Get a hold of yourself!' she yelled inwardly.Diego's suspicions were right. Alexa knew something."I heard you are sick. I'm just here to check up on you," he said."Oh, that is so nice of you, sir."Diego uncrossed his legs and leaned closer, placing both of his elbows on his knees."Hm, so how are you feeling?""I'm getting better," she replied, swallowing hard."You know I'm married, right?" he asked, staring at the ring on his finger. Alexa found it a bit familiar. She had seen the brand on someone's finger somewhere."She must be really pretty," she said."It's Candy."Those two words struck Alexa hard to her core. She felt like peeing on herself. She waited for him to say he was joking, but his face showed he was serious. He lifted his dark gaze to her again."Why do you look pale?" he asked."Huh? I... I... am...

Meanwhile, Candy had her eyes wide open as she watched the movie before her. It was a romantic movie that Diego had randomly chosen. He actually thought it was a dark romance with blood all over, but it turned out to be just romantic.And this little woman beside him was enjoying it."Aww," Candy smiled when the man saved the girl from falling in the rain, the water wetting both of them."What the hell?" Diego muttered, wishing the movie would just end. It had been two whole hours and it was still going on.The man in the movie stared at woman deeply, moving his face close and kissed her.Candy palmed both hands on her cheeks, her face brightening up."He kissed her!" she squealed. Diego scoffed, remembering her words."Kiss in the rain.""How the hell are you enjoying this?" he asked her, but the lady kept her eyes on the television."Just keep watching. I don't want to miss this. Kissing in the rain is my favorite scene..." She couldn't finish her words when the man held her chin to

Meanwhile, at Gonzales Corporation, the news of Alexa being imprisoned spread all over."I heard she knowingly pushed Candy into the pool at the party...""Is it out of jealousy?...""I wonder what's going on, but I'm glad she is in prison..."Yazmine sighed for the umpteenth time as she reached for her phone again. The anonymous guy hardly responded, and she felt a bit down about it. She was already getting used to his company."I wonder what's wrong with him. Could he be in trouble? Should I find him?" she mumbled to herself.With trembling hands, Jameson reached for the drugs in his pocket. He took out two doses from the small container and threw them in his mouth."Urgh," he exhaled deeply, his chest heaving.The door of his office opened without a knock, or maybe he didn't hear it."Hey James, I..." Yazmine stopped talking when she saw his face."Oh my God, are you okay?" she asked, walking closer."I'm fine," Jameson breathed out, trying to compose himself."You don't look fine.

Diego slowly turned his head towards Jameson, who gave him a grin in return. If looks could kill, Jameson would be unconscious.Before he could fire at him, his eyes spotted Candy approaching them. She was so beautiful, he almost didn't recognize her for a moment. Her red short gown clung to her curvy body, alluring enough to make any man drool. Her makeup was light, and her curly black hair fell on both shoulders."Happy birthday," she greeted with a warm smile. Judging from her expression, she must have prepared this."What's this?" he asked in a not-so-cold voice."My present. Days like this should be warm and filled with happiness. Please let us make you feel that way, even if it's just once." Her words were supposed to surge anger, but they didn't. Though he hated this, part of him wanted to sit among these people."It's just a short dinner. Please," her eyes desperately wanting him to stay."C'mon Diego, I'm hungry!" Einstein exclaimed from around the corner. Jameson gave him a
