The Kindergarten Principal begins to look so awry. She doesn’t expect that situation would lead to the police. “Is that even needed?” “Of course! That man has kidnapped my granddaughter! You shouldn’t have let a stranger take the kid out without the parents’ permission! If something serious happens, you have to take responsibility,” threatens Georgina as she waits for the phone to be answered. “But I know he is Elly’s father. You can’t blame me for letting the kid’s father take her out,” argues the Kindergarten Principal. But Georgina doesn’t say a word anymore. She just keeps her hateful gaze as she holds the phone in her left ear. [Yes, Mam! May I know your problem?] “There’s a kidnapping. Someone has kidnapped my granddaughter from the kindergarten.” *** Meanwhile, the kid’s mother, Sofia Vega, is still trying to ignore Alex’s strong influence in her company. She is still annoyed and upset, but she admits that Alex was indeed a great leader, and it’s normal for him to leave
That old lady calls the cops and tells them about Alex trying to kidnap Elly. She even tells them that Alex has been banned by the court from getting near the family, especially from Elly and Sofia. “We’ve given him a warning! Yet he still dared to take out my granddaughter without any permission from the kid’s mother,” explains Georgina impatiently. Immediately, the cops hold Alex’s hand and then pin him onto the car, and asks for his ID. “No, you can’t just hold me without knowing the situation,” Alex retaliates. “Are you two amateurs? In case of accusation, it is the accuser’s responsibility to bring their evidence. I don't have any obligation to show you my ID. Why not ask her first whether she really has any valid evidence for her arguments.” “Sorry, Sir! You can explain your situation later in the office!” says one of the cops. “Sir, please! This is just a misunderstanding,” Alex pleads. “She is giving false testimony! I did divorce with my wife a few days ago, but I never
As Evelyn turns around, Sofia gets the chance to see her melancholy gloomy face. And there she thinks that the closest friend might also have an affair with her ex-husband too.She feels like she has been betrayed. But on the other hand, she knows that she no longer has anything to do with Alex, and it’s not her right to be so upset. But still, she finds it hard to ignore the absurd jealousy she feels in her heart.Without thinking much, she just tells the driver to leave before Evelyn notices the car.“Elliot! Take me back to the office!” she issues.“Mam! What about your daughter?” asks the driver as he starts the car.“I believe my aunt has taken her back home.”The driver turns the car heading back to Vintage Vega main office. Meanwhile, Alex is escorting Evelyn back to her car.
The few employees who happen to be also there in the elevator just glance at Dylan secretly. Of course, they don’t know what issue he currently has.But they misunderstand that maybe there are other employees who invite his annoyance, and it makes them so uncomfortable to be in the same elevator as him. It’s no longer a secret anymore. Wherever this boss’ cousin walks around this company, he will always spread the menacing aura to all the employees around him.As he walks down the hallway on the top floor, he gets the chance to see the situation inside Evelyn’s office, whose door is still wide open. Somehow, he believes that Evelyn is just like the other employees in supporting Alex, and he never likes her.He gets in, and notices Evelyn’s 5 years-old-daughter is also there. And immediately, he puts on his cold arrogant face, and barks at them.&l
Regardless of how malevolent or wicked a person may be, the longing to perform good deeds and be seen as virtuous persists within. At the very least, contributing positively to our own lives and the lives of those around us, we know we have the right to do so. Sofia Vega is no exception. She acknowledges that her aunt once had grievances with her late father. Yet, regardless of the severity of their disputes, she remains committed to benevolence towards her aunt and family. Endowed with substantial wealth, her eagerness to uplift Georgina and her children's lives is palpable. It's an obligation stemming from her appreciation for the life she leads. She used to believe, when she does good things, then good things will also come back to her. But lately, doubts have begun to creep in her heart. “Tell me, Kylie!” Sofia queries her secretary while gazing at her father's portrait in the office. “Am I not justified in showing kindness to my own family?” Kylie briefly ponders, contemplati
Despite his imposing stature and formidable appearance, the Russian man betrays a touch of melancholy on his face, though he's keen on not displaying too much sorrow in front of the little girl. He believes it is too early for the kid to learn this harsh reality about family feuds. Yet, that old Georgina has been talking too openly in front of the kid, thinking that the kid is too stupid to comprehend such matters. Regrettably, he can no longer shield the child from the knowledge of her parents' divorce. The child's perceptiveness renders it challenging for Boris to consult her with another lie. But… “Listen to me! Your Papa still loves your Mom. And one thing for sure, he loves you more. You are the most precious thing for him in this world.” “But the old hag always keeps me away from Papa. Boris! Why would she do that?” Instantly, Boris silences her with a swift gesture, casting wary glances around to ensure Georgina isn't within earshot. He scrunches his face with a cringed ex
Uncomfortable to continue to bring up the issue, Boris diverts the conversation to other matters that are no less important. “Anyway, about giving this man the money, is it really necessary?” Sofia scrunches her face with a bit of confusion. “If you have another view, feel free to share it with me.” “Considering Georgina has already caused a spectacle in front of the other parents at the kindergarten, spending such a significant sum to suppress it seems futile. Numerous people are already aware of your situation. There’s no meaning to cover it up, I believe.” “I know! Evelyn has mentioned it earlier,” Sofia states. “I could dismiss it as long as there's no concrete proof about what Georgina had said. Rumors tend to fade. However, it will be different if those dirty pictures become public. Digital traces are hard to erase. What if they circulate on social media, and Elly has to grow up with all of that hanging over her?” “But giving that man the money isn’t enough as a guarantee th
Alex takes a glance at them for a moment coldly, before he tries to ignore their insult. “I came here to kill some time. Not killing some cockroaches like you!” And suddenly… Prang!!! A dude slams a liquor bottle on the table, expressing his displeasure with Alex’s rebuke. His pride is hurt, to find someone he sees as a weak man dares to taunt him like that. It’s the same with the rest. They are the kind of thugs who like to insult others, but can’t stand to be insulted. The bartender, who has just come bringing the lemon juice for Alex, is now looking so terrified. So far, he has been acting like a real dude in belittling Alex. But now, noticing there will be a fight, he begins to be chickened out. Alex nonchalantly drinks the lemon juice a bit. He then takes a deep breath while tasting how sour that lemon juice is. He actually intends to ignore his annoyance with that strong sour taste. But the thugs behind keep agitating him. “Look at him! Can’t even stand the taste of lemon
