It was a Saturday morning and adria arrived at work and did her normal duties, they were new employees and she helped fill them in on the basics of the company.
Asachi and Mr lu were together discussing when a news playing on the tv caught there attention.
Tv: The missing Mr min has been found dead by the sea side at the shores of the beach at Tokyo, Mr min who has been said to be missing for some years now has been found dead and the investigator said he probably died of natural cause or drowned as no sign of struggles or gun shot has been seen but it's really a sad....
"Lee did this." Asachi said as he stared at the television and the picture of min flashed on the screen.
"I don't think so." Mr lu said as he didn't want to believe that Lee has began to kill the murderers of his father.
"This is his way of eliminating people." asachi said "With no trace or evidence to point at him."
"If so then we are in trouble." Mr Lu said and there was a knock on the door as adria entered, Asachi and Mr lu switched topic.
"Ahh what's it Adria?." Mr Lu asked.
"There have been a few controversy in the deadline for the commercial induction."
"Oh why is that?."
"I think it's because of the coordinator, I would like you to speak to him."
"Alright." Mr lu stood up and left.
Asachi who has been staring at her since she entered the office finally spoke "How you doing?."
"I'm good you keep spending time here doing nothing huh."
"Well your in charge now so I have nothing to do."
"Haha funny." Adria scoffed as she turned to leave but then heard a news
Tv: A popular business man by the name jook Lee the owner of the lee industries, company, club and other numerous things in the society is to engage a lady named quin Kai tonight as a diamond ring has already been spotted on the females hand and the diamond worth is 32 million Eros that's huge haha and I know everyone will be wishing.....
"Hmm what a show off." asachi scoffed
the 29 years old bachelor set to tie the first nott with the business .....
Mr lu entered immediately and seeing everyone interest in the news he asked "What's it?."
"The news of Lee's engagement." Asachi said calmly.
"Are you being serious."
Adria stared at it for few seconds and left,
"She's been acting strange lately." Mr lu commented
"I think it's stress." asachi said.
"No she has been different since she left Lee's company."
"Hmm I don't think it has anything to do with him I think it's her family she hasn't heard from them for a long time now."
"Ahh is that so."
"Hm."
"Do you still feel something for her."
Asachi stared at the table and replied ever so sure "Yes."
"I don't think I can say anything since you already feel what you feel but may I remind you she will go back to her country one day and she doesn't seem like the type interested in love and commitment."
"I know."
"Be careful my boy."
"Hmm." Asachi replied as he thought about what Mr lu just said to him.

Sofia has been feeling down lately, since she and Asachi had that fight they barely saw each other, she only saw him when he came to drop Adria off, get her something or take her home. It was pretty painful but she just ignored them while working, she ensured not to talk or have any form of conversation with Adria. At the beginning Adria came up to her sometimes but she would ignore her or tell her she's busy so she eventually stopped.
Later she met her bosses friend at the hospital where she went to run a urinary test, they spoke to each other as they were familiar with each other, he asked her out for coffee and she accepted since she couldn't turn him down after all he has done for her, she remembered he had gave her a lift when asachi failed to come pick her up, he had saved her from falling twice at her bosses event so she owed him one.
They met up several times and they became really close and lei was at the receiving end, he was a good listener and an understanding person so Sofia mistook he's kindness for love and the fact that she was in a vulnerable state didn't help at all, they began to see each other and make up from time to time but lately all that stopped as he didn't call like he used to neither did he come to check up on her, Sofia felt scared as she thought she did something wrong without knowing, she often saw him with her boss but he barely looked her way she would have called out to him but her boss wasn't really a friendly person and won't think twice before serving her a sack slip and farewell pay she loves her job and wouldn't want to lose it as it helped her aid her family and siblings abroad.
Today Sofia finished her job quickly and she made up her mind to go resolve whatever issue she and lei had, she took an Uber to his place as she didn't own a car, it was a cool afternoon and the weather was a bit mild she walked straight to his house and rang the bell, the gatekeeper attended to her and asked her what she wanted, she replied "I want to see Mr lei is he in."
"Sorry miss I'll get back to you." the gate keeper said as he went in.
Sofia felt a bit strange as she would have been granted access immediately before even having to explain was lei really mad at her to this extent, the gate keeper came back and told her that Mr lei was busy and wouldn't like to see anyone, Sofia felt a bit hurt but left anyways.
