The shooting of the film had started, and the first three scenes had gone well. Olivia had appeared in a scene already and she acted her role perfectly. They went on a short break after that, and Olivia went to the restroom. She was washing her hands when Amelia came in.
Amelia walked to the zinc beside Olivia and switched on the tap.
"You are really not going to quit?" She asked, but Olivia gave no reply. Amelia felt annoyed but went on. She was going to do anything to get Olivia out of her life again. "Your acting is awful, once the film gets released, people would criticise you, and it wouldn't be good being your first film. Tell the director you can't continue, it would be better to find a substitute now, than let people criticise your acting, we are sisters afterall, and that's why I want to help you," she said.
Olivia finished drying her hands and turned to Amelia. "Oh! I totally forgot we are sisters. Amelia, do you really have to do all this? You took everything away from me, I left and didn't bother you. I came back now and want to live a better life as an actress and you won't let me be. Look, Amelia, you can put your mind at rest. If it's about Kenan, I'm not here to take him away from you. I'm just here to live a better life," Olivia tapped Amelia's shoulder and walked away.
Amelia was so annoyed, she felt so embarassed and stupid. It was like making a fool of herself infront of Olivia. But, she couldn't believe Olivia, she knew how much Olivia loved Kenan that's why she took him away from her in the first place. Olivia was definitely back for Kenan.
Lee corporation's
President Lee's office
Jaxon's attention was fully concentrated on the work he was doing. He was going through the report from all the companies under him. He stopped when he got to JL mall's report. It was the mall he had met that young lady and pretty daughter that had called him 'daddy'. He couldn't understand the feeling he felt when he thought of them, but one thing was certain, he definitely wanted to see them again. There was this feeling, the feeling that had died years ago that came back to life when he thought of them.
Ralph entered to drop some documents.
"These are all you asked for sir," he said and gently placed them on his boss' desk.
"Mmm," Jaxon replied.
"Madam Lee called, she wants you to have dinner with them tonight," Ralph said, "__and Chairman Lee says you must show up," he added.
Jaxon made no reply to that and Ralph left.

Night☆☆
Elaine sat at the dinner table, her mouth pouted and her face tense. Olivia sat down with a plate of crapes in her hand. She noticed the look on Elaine's face and asked in a light tone, "What's up my beauty?"
Elaine frowned at her oats. "I wanna see daddy again."
Olivia felt an ache in her chest. She took Elaine's tiny hands. "You'll see daddy again," she said.
"When? I want to see him now, I want to see him everyday like I see you," Elaine said.
Olivia drew in a deep breath. "Elaine, you'll see daddy tomorrow okay?" She said.
"Really?" Elaine's cute face lit up. "You are the best mom," she said and smiled.
"Eat your oats now," Olivia said. She had lost her appetite. She just told Elaine she'd see President Lee again. Where? When? How?

Brand Palace
The Lee family sat together with the Luhan. There were six people in total at the dinner table. Three from the Lee family and three from the Luhan's. They were Chairman Lee, Madam Lee Jaxon Lee, Mr. Luhan, Mrs. Luhan and Alyssa Luhan.
The adults were having a nice chat while Jaxon and Alyssa ate silently. Alyssa kept staring at Jaxon, but, Jaxon did not for once glanced at her. He totally ignored everyone on the table.
"The children would make a great match," Chairman Lee said after having a little sip from the wine glass.
"I'm glad you think so sir," Mr. Luhan said and glanced at his daughter.
Alyssa smiled, she was so pleased to hear it. Jaxon on the other hand made no reactions. It was like he wasn't present at all. They had called him over for a meal and he was just going to have a meal. He remained his cold self while the elders talked about them.
"My grandson is really great, he is managing all the companies under him excellently. All the companies he owns are leading in their various categories," Madam Lee boasted. She had never forgotten to talk about her grandson any opportunity she had. One thing she loved doing was telling people about Jaxon's achievements.
"Alyssa's trying too. Her company's running well and quite famous. And, she's really hardworking, that's why I think she and Jaxon would make a good match," Chairman Lee said.
Everyone except Jaxon smiled.
"It's an honor to be complimented by you sir." Alyssa said.
"So respectful," Chairman Lee said and drank from his glass again.
"You know, when Jaxon was much younger, he had always loved to do things perfectly, and look at where he is today, everyone in the country knows my grandson. I would also like if Alyssa and Jaxon could go out together. I and Mrs. Luhan can plan a date for them..." Madam Lee paused due to Jaxon's action.
Jaxon dropped his wine glass and stood up. He picked up his suit jacket. "I'm leaving," he said and walked away.
Alyssa felt hurt and sad to see him leave.
"Never mind, he's always like this," Chairman Lee said. "Now, what were we discussing?..."
