(At Chuks restaurant)
(Cecilia furiously slaps Alicia)
Cecilia: How dare you touch me?!
Alicia: (holds her cheek in anger) Woah, This girl just slapped me....Nahh, I'mma kill this bitch, I'm gon' back to jail tonight!
(Alicia swiftly runs to grab a knife while Cecilia goes to grab a fork and they both rush back at each other with their weapons held high. Luckily, Rafael comes in between them, shielding them from each other)
Rafael: (scared) What the heck... Do you guys want to kill yourselves?
Alicia: Bro, I don't wanna hurt you, GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!
Cecilia: (angrily) Rafael leave her alone, Let her come near me.... (She holds the fork threateningly)
Rafael: STOP THIS!
Alicia: (enraged) Stop what?! I'mma rip this bitch to shreds!!!
(Alicia knocks Rafael to the floor and charges towards Cecilia with the knife held tightly in her grasp, Just then, Pascaline enters the kitchen)
Pascaline: Excuse me, What's going on in here? What's all the noise about?
Rafael: (points at Cecilia and Alicia) They wanted to fight.
Pascaline: Fight? Have you guys forgotten that the CEO is on his way here? What happens if he comes in and sees you both fighting? It seems like you two are tired of your jobs right?
(Cecilia and Alicia ignore her)
Rafael: Don't worry, it won't happen again.
Pascaline: It's ok. Go back to your work.
(Pascaline leaves the kitchen)
Rafael: (To Cecilia and Alicia) You both should please calm down...
(Cecilia hisses at Alicia and continues cooking and Alicia is unable to do anything but stare at her with intense anger)
(Afterwards)
(The CEO arrives at the restaurant)
CEO: Good evening everyone.
Everyone: Good evening sir.
CEO: Hmm...I'm only seeing few faces today, Where are the rest?
Rafael: They....
Mr Rodriguez: (interrupts him) They went out for deliveries sir.
CEO: Alright then. (To Mr Rodriguez) See me in the office.
(The CEO and Mr Rodriguez leaves)
Rafael: I wonder why he didn't want the CEO to know.
Pascaline: (shrugs her shoulders)
(At Uncle Roberto's house)
Uncle Roberto: So you went to visit Morena yesterday, What did she say?
Aunt Maria: She said she's forgiven me.
Uncle Roberto: But Maria why.... Why did you subject her to harsh treatments? How would you feel if someone did the same thing to your children?
Aunt Maria: (fake sobs) I'm really sorry, I don't know what came over me....
(Just then, Dr Hector calls Uncle Roberto)
Uncle Roberto: Good day Dr Hector.
Dr Hector: (over the phone) Good day Mr Roberto. Please I want you to see me at the hospital urgently.
Uncle Roberto: No problem Doctor. We'll be there soon.
(Dr Hector hangs up)
Aunt Maria: Who was that?
Uncle Roberto: It was Dr Hector, He wants to see us at the hospital.
Aunt Maria: Why?
Uncle Roberto: He didn't say. Let's just go!
(Meanwhile)
(At the hospital)
(Nina and Andrew visits Morena)
Morena: (excitedly) Nina! Andrew!
Nina: (smiles) Hiii.
Andrew: Hey Morena...We came bearing gifts.
(He drops the gifts aside)
Morena: Awwwnnn, That's so thoughtful of you guys.
Nina: I expected to have seen Daniel here
Morena: Ohh, He left not quite long.
Nina: No wonder.
Morena: So tell me, What's happening at the restaurant?
Nina: Nothing much, Except that Cecilia's attitude has worsened. She almost got into a fight with Alicia but Rafael separated them. Otherwise it would have been bloody.
Morena: Yeah, How is Rafael?
Andrew: He's good. Lately, He's been a little cheery.
(Nina's phone beeps)
Morena: Duty calls?
Nina: Yeah (sighs) Chuks restaurant will kill us with work. (To Andrew) We have to go now. We have clients to attend to. Bye Morena!
Morena: Bye!
Andrew: Get well soon!
(Meanwhile)
(In the waiting room)
Uncle Roberto: Doctor, You called us to the hospital?
Dr Hector: Yeah, I wanted to let you know that your niece has been responding to treatments really quickly and she'll be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
Uncle Roberto: (sighs) Thank you so much.
Dr Hector: I'm just doing my job.
Uncle Roberto: We can go in and see her right?
Dr Hector: Definitely.
(Uncle Roberto and Aunt Maria goes to Morena's ward)
Morena: Good evening uncle, Good evening aunty.
Aunt Maria: Good evening my dear. How is your health?
Morena: Much better.
Uncle Roberto: We have good news. The doctor said you'll be discharged tomorrow.
Morena: That is good to hear.
Aunt Maria: (sobs) I'm really happy you forgave me.
Morena: Its fine aunt, Old things have passed away.
Uncle Roberto: (To Aunt Maria) We should go home and start preparing for her return.
Aunt Maria: Okay darling.
Uncle Roberto: We'll be leaving now. Take care Morena!
Morena: (grins) I will!
(At Chuks restaurant)
(In the Office)
CEO: (confused) Rodriguez, What's up with your poor management lately? I mean the restaurant's funds has reduced drastically. What're you using all the money to do?
Rodriguez: I'm sorry sir, There are so many messes in the restaurant that I needed to clear. And it cost a lot of money.
CEO: Really?
Mr Rodriguez: Yes sir. I would've informed you earlier but I thought it'll be better to handle it myself
CEO: And by "handle it yourself", You mean squander the restaurant funds?
Mr Rodriguez: No sir. I'm really sorry sir.
CEO: You better sit up or else I'll fire you and replace you with someone else.
Mr Rodriguez: Yes sir.
CEO: Go and check on the cooks downstairs.
Mr Rodriguez: Alright sir
(Mr Rodriguez leaves the office and goes to the kitchen)
Mr Rodriguez: (suprised) Daniel, Nina and Andrew aren't back yet?
Rafael: No Sir. Its just me, Cecilia and Alicia.
Mr Rodriguez: Okay then. Get back to work
(Mr Rodriguez attempts to leave when Cecilia calls him)
Cecilia: Mr Rodriguez, Please I need to tell you something important...
Mr Rodriguez: What is it?
Cecilia: It's about....
(Alicia intentionally clears her throat which makes Mr Rodriguez and Cecilia to look at her)
Mr Rodriguez: (To Cecilia) Is it about the restaurant's business?
Cecilia: No...
Mr Rodriguez: Then it's not important. Look, I need to go now. I'm having an important discussion with the CEO
Cecilia: But Sir...
(When Mr Rodriguez ignores her and leaves the kitchen, Alicia bursts into laughter)
Cecilia: (To Alicia) Idiot!
(Cecilia angrily hisses at Alicia as she walks past her)
Rafael: Calm down Alicia. Just ignore her. Remember the CEO is upstairs.
Alicia: (while staring at Cecilia) No worries bro....
