Inside Sam's bedroom, the calendar on the wall showed 01 January 1993, while the wall clock indicated 1 pm at noon.
Sam wakes up lazily in the afternoon of the first day of the year, knowing that it is the new year. But Sam instantly recalled that shortly after the late-night party yesterday, he told Claire that he would take her out for a date this evening.
So he quickly gets out of bed and heads to the bathroom to freshen himself up. After getting ready and stuffing a sandwich in his mouth, he hastily steps outside the villa.
Pedro, who was exercising on the yard outside of his house, notices Sam coming out, so he prepares the car to drive Sam wherever he wants. But Sam interrupts Pedro and grants him the day off because Claire's security would accompany them.
Pedro hesitated after listening to Sam because he, too, wants to take his wife and daughter to a wonderful picnic to spend the New Year's. However, he considered hiring more bodyguards for Sam in order to prevent the current situation in which he is solely responsible for Sam's safety, and if he employs more bodyguards, he could also alternate personnel on a daily basis.
On the other side, Sam arrives at Claire's house and contacts her to notify her of his arrival at the villa.
Claire comes downstairs to the hall after receiving the call and having done her makeup to tell her parents about going on a date with Sam, and after receiving their permission, she runs towards the main door outside to meet Sam, who awaits her outside their villa.
Charles sighs as he looks at Claire, who is in a hurry to meet Sam, and comments to his wife, "Young people have no patience in today's time; but Claire seems happy to be with Sam!"
Carolina glances worriedly at the departing vehicle in which Sam and Claire are leaving, and she responds cautiously, "So, what are we supposed to do about Sam's past?" You know he doesn't know anything about his family right now, but one day he'll know everything!"
Charles also has no idea how Sam would respond once he learns about his past and family, but he warns her not to speak anything about his family in front of him. However, he also assures his wife that everything will be fine in the future and that they must handle the matter with care.
Sam, on the other hand, had no idea that his uncle and aunt were discussing his family's history, which is in a way the family of the previous Sam.
Even the old Sam knows nothing about his family other than his parents, and both of them never spoke about his family; therefore, it was a huge mystery to him.
But even if he knew anything about them, he would have minimal reaction because he cannot even recall his father of this life firsthand because when he arrived in this world, both his parents had already passed away.
So Sam will always remain sensible and calm when dealing with matters pertaining to his family's past, which will not be an issue for him given that this is not his family.
But Sam is always apprehensive about the fact that in online novels, the main character (MC) must either placate the spirit existing inside the old body or fulfill the wishes of the deceased soul in order to gain control over the entire body. But Sam has not come across any of this, and many times he wonders why...?
After arriving at the closest cinema hall, Sam and Claire consider seeing an upcoming romance film that is now screening. Sam then went to an Italian restaurant with Claire to have dinner, considering that she loves the Italian food.
After dinner, they go for a walk together, holding hands. But after a few minutes of strolling, Sam looks up at the sky and notices that the moon is shining brightly, so he takes her home simply since it is late at night, around 11 p.m.

A week had passed since Sam's meal with Claire, and he began returning to his production studio, but there were few staff present because most were on a New Year's vacation. But after a week, employees along with executives began returning to the studios.
On January 8th, Sam conducted a meeting with all of the heads of department considering he was unable to attend the general meeting at the end of December, which was held on his behalf by Philip as the CEO because he was busy with his movie and promoting his novel.
Sam obtained an overview of the current situation in the studio, where the 'Saw' film is currently under development with Andrew as director and will be completed around April, including the post-production.
The budget for this horror film is around a million dollars, with Andrew as director receiving a profit percentage of about 5% as stated in the contract.
Although Sam might have picked a different director to save money on the film, he favors human relationships over money because he is, after all, of Eastern descent.
Eastern people, such as Chinese and Indians, place a high value on money, but they place even greater emphasis on interpersonal relationships.
