"What happened, Nina?" Paul asked
Nina gets herself out of his hold immediately. She tucks strands of hair behind the earlobe and looks at Mr. Lee.
Now, Paul too looks in direction where Nina was looking, and finds Mr. Lee standing at distance, all frozed and holding the keys.
Mr. Lee gave a nervous smile as Paul looked at him.
"Aishh ...this Lee" Paul mumbled and gritted his teeth.

Danica moves hurriedly towards her table and checks the CCTV footage.
"Let's see who was that person" she muttered inwardly as she menaced the screen.
Alfred approaches and stands behind her.
"Oh, it was Mr. Lee" Alfred said and crossed his hands.
"Yeah, that's a relief. He knows everything. If someone else would be instead of him, then we might be in a huge trouble" Danica said and sighed.
Alfred now smiles and replies "I am not afraid of showing my love for you, in front of people. I can kiss you and adore you in front of them as well, and even I can proudly brag and show my love, that I have for you, in front of people"
Danica turned towards him briskly as he said that.
[ What !! ] she was speechless and didn't knew what to say.
She looks at him with popping eyes.
He was smiling wittily.
They both stared at each other for minutes.
Danica looks away, she wasn't able to look at his lovely eyes anymore. It melted her heart and made her susceptible to love.
"Where is Mr. Lee now?" Danica speaks, trying to change the topic.
Alfred was still looking at her intently.
She checks the CCTV footage and finds Mr. Lee staring at corner side of wall.
"What he is looking at ?" Danica mumbled
"Let's go and find out" Alfred says
"Yeah, right" Danica replied
They left the cabin and headed to meet Mr. Lee.
*************
Meanwhile
*************
Paul approaches Mr. Lee
"What are you doing here?" Paul asked
Mr. Lee was about to reply, but before he could, Paul asked another question.
"Wait a second ...Man, how long you have been standing here and watching?" Paul asked and grabbed Mr. Lee's shoulders.
"I...I have n..no idea" Mr. Lee said and winced.
"How can you shamelessly see everything? Isn't it interrupting someone's privacy?" Paul adds.
"Man, I just came here to give you the keys" Mr. Lee said and removed the hands of Paul that held his shoulder.
He upheld the one hand of Paul and kept the keys on his palm
"Take it" Mr. Lee said
"You could have given me this afterwards" Paul winced and said.
"Why don't you control yourself , huh? This is company, not your house. You should be grateful that it was me, who saw it. If someone else would have been instead of me then what --" Mr. Lee said
Paul cuts him short and says "Yeah, I got it. But, don't you think that, you should too stop showing up at right places on wrong time? Why you always show up at right places on wrong time? It's been three years and I am still not able to understand that"
Their childish fight was interrupted by Nina.
"It's okay now" she says and crossed her hands.
"Stop it" she adds.
Now, Danica and Alfred approached them.
"Mr. Lee !" Danica says and looks at him
Mr. Lee looks at her and says "Yes boss"
"I saw that you were standing here and looking at something. What was that thing? you were standing all frozed. What were you looking at?" Danica asked
[GULP] Nina and Paul
Nina and Paul looks at each other with popping eyes and winces.
[What should I say ?] Mr. Lee thought and gave a nervous smile.
"Hahaha...I was asking the same question to him, while ago" Paul said half-jokingly.
Paul grabs Mr. Lee's shoulders and speaks "Come on, my friend, Just say it"
[You jerk ! I will teach you a lesson afterwards. How can you put me in such a grave situation? ] Mr. Lee was cursing Paul inwardly.
"Yes, What were you looking at?" Nina asked
Now everyone stared at Mr. Lee solemnly and awaited for the answer.
Mr. Lee gave a nervous smile once again.
"S..Spider !" Mr. Lee shudders as he speaks.
"What !!" Alfred said
"Tch....you were looking for five minutes straight, at a spider??" Danica asked and crossed her hands.
[5 minutes !!! Oh no !! ] Nina thinks.
[This Lee had been staring for 5 minutes straight. I can't believe it. It's so embarrassing] Paul thought and winced.
"I...I am afraid of spiders. So, I wasn't able to move after seeing that loathsome creature --" Mr. Lee replies
Danica cuts him short and says "okay okay"
Before any other question spouts, Nina looks at Alfred and Danica, and says "Guys, I want to talk something really important with you"
"Okay, let's talk in my cabin" Danica said
**********
Danica's cabin ~
Nina keep glass on a table after drinking water.
"What is it ?" Danica asked
Nina sighed and said "You know, tomorrow is our wedding"
"Yes, we all know that" Danica says
"You also know that, I lost my mom at early age and my dad too died last year. So, now I have no one, who can be my Honor Attendant"
Nina adds and banks her face on her two hands.
"Who said that? who said, you don't have anyone that can be your Honor Attendant ?" Danica replied and moved towards her.
Paul keeps his hand on Nina shoulder.
"I will be your Honor Attendant" Danica smiled and adds
Nina's eyes sparkled with joy as she heard that.
"I will be Paul's Best Man" Alfred said and smiled.
"Me too" Mr. Lee added
Paul's eyes were filled with tears. He was so happy that he has his team to back him up. He was overwhelmed by such gesture of aid that they all were providing.
Alfred hugs Paul and says "Congratulations, my friend"
Mr. Lee too joins them and gives hug.
"I am having rush of adrenaline" Mr. Lee said as he gave hug.
Nina smiled.
Out of blue, something strikes Nina's mind and she says "Wait a minute"
Everyone looks at her immediately.
"What happened?" Danica asked
"Where is that Sean?" Nina inquired
Alfred inserts his hands in the pocket and replies "He has taken a day off"
"Don't worry, we will inform him everything" Alfred adds and smiles briefly.
"The question is, what he will be? I mean, on whose side he will be?" Nina says
"He will be on my side" Paul spoke abruptly.
"Okay, that's perfect" Danica said.
*******
(ON THE OTHER SIDE )
Here, they all were busy in celebrating their success and enjoying the events.
However, behind the scenes, something lethal was being prepared for them. They were unaware, of an uncertain twist that was about to knock them down once again.
********
(LOOKING AT PAST)
Mr. William, after being betrayed by Alfred's dad, he was all alone and mourning over the ruins. At that moment, one man supported him and gave him a chance to join hands, to build empire again. Mr. William, accepted his offer and collaborated with that man.
Gradually, their partnership developed into a strong friendship. Mr. William once again gained everything back and was now ready to take revenge from Alfred's dad. However, by then, Alfred's dad had died already, leaving behind his two industries to Alfred.
Alfred soon took over his dad's business. Soon the industries skyrocketed in terms of success and economy. He then established two multinational companies on his own and earned the tag of "BUSINESS TYCOON". This wasn't the end of Alfred's progress. He was determined to keep moving ahead and achieve more success. His determination led him to build and set up, three industries and one more multinational company. He was now drowning in success and fame.
During all this , Mr. William tried hard to bring Alfred down, but failed.
He then awaited for the right time, to bring business and power of Alfred down.
Mr. William's patience paid off, when Paul joined Danica's company and later Alfred collaborated with her. He soon sets up his source in Danica's company, to get all the information.
Mr. William's brain strikes an idea when he gets to know about a unique project that Alfred was about to work on.
You all know, what he did then.
However, Mr. William was unaware that, this time, Alfred wasn't alone. Danica was with him. That woman was alone capable of destroying his entire empire.
Rest of the consequences, you know very well.
He underestimated Danica's power and met his death ultimately.
After the secret murder of Mr. William and fake story of his death, His friend, who supported him in crisis, finds something off with every event that took place.
His friend, suspected that Mr. William didn't met natural death, but was murdered.
His suspicion got stronger when Paul withdrew the Product immediately after the demise of his dad and now, he was even getting married.
Mr. William's friend, knew very well who were behind all this and he was now ready to make them all pay.
A big trap was set up for them.
