Alex: Why?
Isabella: Ishikawa has manipulated her. Emilia thinks anything coming out of Ishikawa's mouth is wisdom.
Alex: How do you want to fix this?
Isabella: I will need your help for that.
Meanwhile, in Ishikawa's office, Cindy sat obediently.
Ishikawa: I have decided that there will be an exclusive interview of Emilia about her new album and also about her personal life.
Cindy looked at her in surprise, "But Miss Ishikawa has always been a very private person. No one really knows anything about her except what she chose to show.
Ishikawa nodded, "I know but this album is already very personal. It's just for promotional purposes".
Cindy thought for a while, "Well, it's true. People are gonna show a lot more interest on her. A lot of people wants to know about her."
Ishikawa smiled and replied, "As her fan, I know you'll understand this very well".
Cindy: So, when do you want to set the interview?
Ishikawa: I'm thinking 2nd September. It's a sunday so I want it to be broadcasted live.
Cindy smiled, "No worries, M&A will do its best, After all it's Emilia Love's Album".
Ishikawa smiled nodded, "I'm looking forward to it".
After discussing with Ishikawa, Cindy got out of the room and stretched her body. She wondered if Alex is done talking with Isabella.
Cindy: I should probably go to her office to check.
Isabella's office was quite far from Ishikawa's room so it took a while for her. On her way, she wondered about her situation with Alex. She smiled softly thinking about what happened in the morning, "Maybe I should accept his apology, I'll talk with him after I'm done with work".
Cindy knocked on Isabella's door and heard a loud thud. She quickly rushed in and couldn't believe what she saw.

After Wilson left, Matthew and Melissa went to an ice cream shop.
"What do you think can he really help us?" Melissa said as she licked her chocolate icecream.
Matthew: Hard to tell, better safe than sorry.
Melissa: yeah.
Melissa looked around the shop and smiled faintly.
Matthew: What's wrong?
Melissa smiled in guilt, "Nothing".
Matthew: Is it related to Jacob?
Melissa: No...
Matthew kept glaring at her, forcing her to tell the truth.
Melissa: umm kind of...
Matthew: Are you still connected with him?
Melissa: No, I'm not. It's just... we had our first date here that's all.
Matthew: I see.
Melissa put a spoonful of icecream in Matthew's mouth, "Chill little brother, your sister won't date him again".
With his mouthful, Matthew replied, "Then why aren't you dating anyone".
Melissa sighed, "I need to find someone better first".
Matthew: You won't have to marry, just go out.
Melissa: nope, na ah, I'm not gonna date just anyone. I'm not gonna do that again. I've already hurt myself a lot for Jacob.
Matthew: Yeah, it's been 2 years since you guys broke up yet you're still so hurt.
Melissa: Brighter the flame, the more it will hurt when you get burned.
Matthew stayed silence for a while and patted Melissa's head, "I just want you to be happy".
Melissa gave a painful smile full of guilt, "I know".
