Tim's study room.
Tim is sitting in his swivel chair in front of his table while Coby is standing beside him.
"Mr. Tan, the name of LCX Bus Line has been transferred to the Tan Corporation already," Coby said.
"That's good," Tim said.
"But..." Coby paused for a moment.
"There is bad news." he continued.
Tim froze for a moment before he looked up to Coby.
"What is it?"
"Mr. Villariez as passed away this morning, and his daughter Miss Ella Villariez is asking for an appointment with you."
"What for?" Tim asked.
"She said, she needs to speak to you in person," Coby replied.
Tim remembers his conversation with the late Mr. Villariez the last time they talked.
Mr. Villariez asked him a favor for his daughter.
Tim took a deep breath before he spoke, "Alright, schedule my appointed with her after her father's burial," He said.
"Copy, Mr. Tan!" Coby replied.
"How about Gaile?" Tim asked again.
"She already left and went back to L Country this morning."
"Good then!" Tim gets up from his seat, " Let's go together to the office." He said.
Tim forgets to put in the safe his dad's last will, which is on the top of the table.
Tim and Coby went downstairs,
Tim found Kira talking with someone in the living room.
"Good morning." Tim greeted the two ladies.
Lea instantly gets up from her seat when she saw Tim.
"Good morning Mr. Tim!" She greeted back Tim.
Kira gets up from her seat too and introduces Lea to Tim.
"Hey, Tim. This is my friend Lea, she was on the wedding day, remember?" Kira said.
Tim looked at Lea, "Of course! I do! I remember every person who is important to you." Tim said with a smile on his face.
Kira couldn't help but smile too.
"Anyways, I have to go to the office now."
"Ennn..." Kira nodded her head.
"Enjoy your day with your friend," Tim said, he kissed Kira's forehead before he gets out of the house and leave for work.
"Oh! I didn't know that Mr. Tan has a sweet side of him!" Lea exclaimed.
She looked like she is daydreaming.
Kira just revealed a faint smile.
"You made the right decision to marry a man like him. He cares for you!" Lea added.
'Yeah, I know, I did not regret my decision of marrying him.' Kira secretly said.

Tan Corporation...
Mr. Fuente is already waiting for Tim's arrival outside his office.
He instantly gets up from his seat and greeted Tim.
"Good morning, Mr. Tan." Mr. Fuente said.
Tim's footsteps came to a stop and he looked at Mr. Fuente.
"I wonder why Mr. Fuente is here, early in the morning?" Tim asked.
"Oh! I came to talk to you about some personal matters." Mr. Fuente explained.
"Is there any problem in the accounting department?"
Tim asked again.
"N-No, Mr. Tan, the accounting department is doing fine. " Mr. Fuente replied.
"I'd like to talk to you about what my daughter did, Mr. Tan." He said with his head lowered.
Tim took a deep breath as he looked at Mr. Fuente without an expression on his face.
"I'd like to talk to you in private, Mr. Tan." Mr. Fuente requested.
-----
Inside the office, Tim seated in his swivel chair, while Mr. Fuente stands in front of his desk.
"I want to ask for an apology to what my daughter did to your wife, Mr. Tan." Mr. Fuente said.
Tim looked at Mr. Fuente, " You know it." It was not a question but a confirmation.
Mr. Fuente lowered his head.
" I am sorry, Mr. Tan, I was not able to discipline my daughter."
Tim clasped his palms, "Gaile is not a child anymore, I am pretty sure that she knows what is right from wrong," Tim replied.
"My apologies, Mr. Tan. She was too childish with her actions." Mr. Fuente bowed in front of Tim.
"I hope this won't affect the good friendship between our families." He added.
"Of course!" Tim replied.
"As long as you stay being loyal to me and the company, our family's friendship wouldn't end."
Mr. Fuente felt like he is going to choke when he heard Tim's words.
Tim notices Mr. Fuente's change of expression but he did not say a word.
Tim doesn't trust this man, there is something about him that Tim wasn't sure, and his instinct told him not to trust Mr. Fuente.
------
Mr. Fuente went back to his office after talking to Tim.
He sits down and leaned in his swivel chair, 'I can find a way on how to get you, Tim!'
'I know I will!'
'I've worked so hard for this company, and you're the only one who continued to rise!'
'I deserve to get more from what I have now!'
Mr. Fuente said inside.
----------
When Lea left, Kira went back upstairs.
She fixes her things but she notices some documents at the top of the table.
Kira picks it up and she realizes it was Tim's paper works.
'He must have forgotten this.' Kira mumbled.
She put back the documents on the table but then she picks it up again.
She stared at it and decided to bring it to the study room.
Fortunately, the room was not locked, Kira opens the door and gets inside the study room.
She walks closer to the desk and put down the documents.
She was about to turn but her eyes caught something.
Kira turned back and looked at the envelope on the other side of the table.
She read the word that was written on it.
"Last will?" she mumbled.
Kira blinked her eyes a few times.
She stared at the enveloped for a moment.
'Oh! What am I thinking? I should not touch anything here!' She thought.
But the other side of her mind opposed, ' Why not?'
'You are the wife, there is nothing wrong if you read those documents!'
Kira gulped!
Her mind is fighting whether to read the will or not.
