Jessica was furious once again because Bryan cancelled their date today. Since it's both their off today, she was expecting that he would take her to a date, but he cancelled it due to an emergency. She was contemplating if she will confront him because she is doubting his alibis.
It was the second time he cancelled their date and she smell that something is going on and this is not right. Tomorrow she will make sure to see that woman and put her in her place. She called her friends and convinced them to go in the club.
Meanwhile Sydney is at home doing some household chores. She wake up early in the morning to go the market and buy some groceries to restock and refill her refrigerator. When she came back she decided to do a general cleaning and plant some sunflower seeds that she bought a while ago. She plant those seeds at her backyard and watered it. She's almost done at everything then she cooked her meal and eat. She were in front of the door of her room when she heard the doorbell. She immediately goes to the front door and open it to see a delivery man holding sunflower bouquet.
"Miss Sydney Lace Aguilar?" The delivery man asked confirming if she's Sydney.
"Yes I am" she said.
The delivery man gave her the flowers and a jewelry box.
And asked her to sign the delivery form.
She signed it and afterward she asked the man who it came from, the man said that there is card inside and left.
She goes back inside and went to her room directly. She opened the card and read it.
"To my beautiful Lace, you are my sunshine. From Ivan"
She can't help but smile to the message but it doesn't mean that she forgive him already.
The jewelry box caught her attention after putting down the sunflower bouquet on her bed. She slowly open the rectangular red velvet box and a beautiful gold necklace with heartshaped pendant was revealed right in front of her eyes. It's too beautiful! She removed the necklace from the box and try it on. She turned around and see herself in the mirror. The sparkly diamonds attached to the heartshaped pendant is too beautiful not to noticed. She sigh and remembers what happened yesterday. Maybe if they didn't argue yesterday, these could have been a very special gift. But she's torn wether to return it to him or not. She doesn't want him to think that he can bribe her with a jewelry and a bouquet of flowers. She removed the necklace and put it back in the box.

"I'm sorry Architect Aguilar, the president didn't approved your resignation, and you couldn't just leave because the project will start anytime this month and you signed a contract to us" he explained to her
"I understand Architect Aragon" She answered.
"Is there something going on between you and Ivan?" He asked. A hint of curiosity were noticeable in his voice.

"I don't know sir, I mean why would he be interested in me when he's the president and I'm just his employee"she said honestly
"We've been friends for a long time Architect Aguilar, and Ivan never courted a woman before but base on his actions I think he likes you he just couldn't show you properly." Kian said laughing
"Architect I think I have to go, I still have something to do." She said wanting to avoid the topic. Kian dismissed her and she was back at her desk

"Lace are you ok, I'll bring you to the clinic babe don't worry. " He called Nico and tell him to call the doctor right away.
Sydney didn't answer but she looks at him then everything turned dark. Ivan panicked when Sydney closed her eyes and fell unconscious in his arms. He carried her to his office at the top floor where he has his penthouse. Kian and Nico followed him, the doctor and the nurse arrived immediately. They told Nico and Ivan to go out of the room for a while. The doctor and nurse cam out.

"Ivan relaxed, the doctor said she will be okay" Kian said
He noticed how Ivan is so worried.
"I knew you love her you look like the devil was after you when you rush to her and when you rush her to your room." Kian said amused.
Ivan looked at Kian. He sure knows him really well
"How do you know?" Ivan question him
"Well, the way you look at her says a lot by the way I have to go, I'm sure there are rumors that spreads right now."
Ivan didn't say anything until Kian vanished from his sight.
He entered the room and saw her peacefully sleeping her forehead has a bandage but it still couldnt cover how beautiful she is. They change her clothes because it's wet from the coffee that was poured on her. He sit beside her, then he noticed something from her neck, it's the necklace that he sent to her. He smile, because he wasn't so sure if she would wear it. Because of their previous argument he thought she will return it to him. She hold her hand and notice some bruises on her arms and shoulders. His expression becomes dark. Whoever did this to her will surely pay tenfolds
Admin department
Jessica was being question about what happened and why she attacked Architect Aguilar. Kian was there because Sydney is under his department. The woman from the Accounting department said that she resented Sydney because she's seducing her boyfriend and tells about the flowers and cake that she thought came from Bryan. Kian felt guilty that because of his plan Sydney was attacked and hurt. She told the employee that the flowers and cake were not from his boyfriend but from Mark one of his friend. Jessica was stunned but her resentment towards Sydney didn't change.
