"Where is Mr. Fuente, anyway?" Tim asked after a while.
"I... I did not see him in a few days, sir." Coby replied.
"Call his assistant, I want to talk to him," Tim ordered.
"Yes, Mr. Tan!" Coby replied and then he turned and called for Mr. Fuente's assistant through the intercom.
Coby spent a few seconds on the intercom before he put it back and faced Tim.
"I already called him, sir," He said.
"Thanks, " Tim replied.
"I shall take my leave now, sir," Coby said as he bowed his head.
"Ennn..." Tim nodded his head as a response
Just a few minutes later after Coby left, Mr. Fuente's assistant came to Tim's office.
"Good morning, Mr. Tan!" The assistant bowed his head as he greeted Tim.
Tim looked up to Jan.
"Where is your boss?" Tim asked straight forward.
Jan froze for a moment,
" Mr. Fuente left for L Country, he had an urgent thing to do there." He replied.
" Didn't he went to L Country a few months ago?" Tim questioned.
"Yes, Mr. Tan."
" Why did he go back then?" Tim interrogated the assistant.
Jan gulped.
" M-Mr. Fuente received a call from Ms. Gaile's manager, the Miss was brought to the hospital due to drug overdose."
"What?!" Tim blurted out with his eyes wide opened.
"H-how is she, then?" He asked.
It took a moment before Jan replied,
"She's dead, sir!"
----------
Tim is in deep thought while inside the car.
He looked outside the window, but his mind is on the news from Mr. Fuente's assistant.
Tim took a deep breath.
He might be mad at Gaile because she tried to set up Kira, but he didn't wish her to end up like this.
"We're here, sir," Coby said which made Tim snapped back to his senses.
"Oh!" He blurted out when he looked around and realized that they are home.
Tim opened the door and got out of the car.
Kira is already waiting for him on the front door.
"Hey," Kira greeted him.
"Hey, sweetheart good evening," Tim replied and smacked a kiss on Kira's lips.
Kira took off Tim's blazer and walks with him inside the house and went upstairs.
When they reached the master's bedroom, Kira notices that something strange with her husband, " "Hubby, is there any problem?" She can't help but ask.
Tim forced a smile, "No, I am just tired." He said as he sat on the couch.
"Uh, would you like a massage to make you feel better?" Kira asked as she sits beside Tim.
"Uhmmm..." Tim looked up and pretended to think, and then he looked at Kira with his naughty smile, " What kind of massage could you offer to me?" He asked meaningfully.
"Ugh!" Kira rolled her eyes!
"You're flirting again!" She complained.
"Hahaha!! Tim laughed, he embraced Kira and kissed her shoulder, " I couldn't help it!"
"It's your fault, anyway!" he said.
"Why?"
"Because you're irresistible!" Tim replied.
He suddenly forgot the sadness that he felt inside.
Kira is his happy pill!
Kira twitched her mouth and rolled her eyes," You're just trying to flatter me!" She said.
" Of course not!" Tim opposed.
"Do you feel hungry?" Kira asked Tim after a while.
" You're making me hungry," Tim hinted to Kira again.
Kira sigh!
And then an idea came into her mind!
She gets up from her seat and stands in front of Tim, she bent down her body and lowered her head and draw her face closer to Tim until they are inches away from each other, " Are you really hungry?" She asked seductively.
Tim gulped!
Kira started to tease Tim, she lowered her lip to his lips.
Tim thought that Kira is going to kiss him but then...
"Later, hubby!" Kira said and then she straightened her body.
"Ugh! You're torturing me!" Tim complained.
" I'm starving, and I couldn't do it whenever I am hungry!" Kira replied.
Tim sighs and felt defeated.
"Alright!" Tim seemed like he surrendered, "You win!"

"DingDong!"
Coby is cooking for dinner when he heard the doorbell.
He puts down the spoon and walks to the door to check who is ringing the doorbell, he knitted his brows when he saw Lea on the front door monitor.
Coby opens the door, " What brought you here at night?" He asked plainly.
Lea frowned, " Hey, shouldn't you greet your guest before asking that question?" She complained.
Coby sighs,
" Alright!"
"Good evening!" Coby bowed his head, and then he looked up to Lea," What brought you here?"
"Are you not going to let me in?" Lea did not answer Coby's question.
Coby seemed annoyed, but he still widened the crack on the door to let her in, " Come in." he said.
"Thank you!" Lea is being cheeky.
Coby closed the door again and ask, "So, could you tell me what brought you here at this hour?" He asked again.
"Oh!" Lea shoved her hand into her bag and took a small bottle.
"I came to give you this!" She lifted her hand and showed the bottle to Coby.
Coby looked at the small bottle on Lea's hand.
"What is that?" He asked.
"It's for the removal of the scar, you should try it! It is from my grandma, you can't see any of that here in the Capital City."
" You came alone just to give that to me?"
"Yes!" Lea nodded her head.
"You could just give that to me tomorrow morning, you shouldn't be out alone at night!" Coby scolded her but Lea seemed unaffected, and she smiled instead.
"Why are you smiling?!" Coby asked sternly.
" Are you worried about me?" Lea asked and giggled, she feel like someone tickled her heart!
"Don't think too much! I don't want to be blamed by your parents if something bad happens to you!" Coby said in a serious expression.
"Tsss..." Lea twitched her mouth.
"And one thing, you should not come to a man's house." He said.
"Why not?" Lea asked as she gave Coby a side glance.
" It is not good to see a woman going to a man's house," Coby replied.
"Hey, It is already 2015, stop being conservative!" Lea opposed.
" And besides, we're not doing anything wrong!" She added.
Coby stared at Lea with his serious expression.
"Do you always do this tp every man that you've met?" He asked coldly.
"Nope!" Lea replied as she raised her head like a proud woman.
" I only did this to you." She added.
"Oh!" Coby did not say any word, he just turned against Lea and headed to the kitchen while trying to hide the smile on his face.
