Zach went out with Torin and Cielo to dine outside.

Cielo elbowed Torin and pouted her lips toward Zach, who was so quiet and didn't even utter a word.

Torin shrugged his shoulders but he couldn't take the silence any longer so he spoke, "I think Zach is in the crucial phase of his life right now, Cielo, so let him be. Let him concentrate and analyze himself and what he is feeling at the moment. You see, Zach has this problem of denying a lot of things to himself and..."

Cielo's mouth twisted and she jabbed Torin's ribs, stopping him from uttering another word.

"Ouch! What?" Torin hissed. Cielo signaled him to shut up instead.

"I will order more desserts for us," said Cielo who got up to lighten the mood.

Torin stood up too and looked at Zach.

"Bro…" but Zach did not respond, so Torin waved his hands in front of Zach's face as he called him.

"What?" Zach hissed when he finally noticed Torin who was now shaking his head before him.

"Bro, snap out, will you? I said I am going to pee and Cielo is just at the counter. You're getting worse, look at you! Geez, this denial king!" He said and hurriedly walked away from Zach.

Zach frowned and exhaled loudly but it's too late to hit Torin who ran away from him.

He was confused at that moment and feeling weird. He has been in this confused state not only now but for the last few weeks. Something was not right with him and he couldn't name or distinguish it yet.

He looked at the counter and saw Cielo, who was ordering, then he shifted his gaze and paused when he saw a woman sitting near the exit door and staring at him. She looked weird wearing a hoodie inside a restaurant.

He did not know why but he suddenly got curious so he looked closely but his eyes narrowed and his face darkened when he recognized the familiarity of her face.

"Thea," he murmured and closed his eyes and opened it once more. However, the woman with the hoodie was no longer at that same spot.

Zach quickly stood up and ran towards the door to look around, but there's no trace of her.

"What's this!?" He jeered, full of scornful tone as he walked back into the restaurant.

Torin, who was back from the restroom, looked at him and said, "What's wrong? You went out?"

Zach smiled wryly.

"Yeah, I think I saw a nightmare and it's not even dark yet," scoffed Zach. Then he frowned as he recalled those eyes, he couldn't be wrong, those were Thea's blue eyes.

'Was that regret? Longing? Guilt?' He mused, describing the expression of those eyes, not even sure if what he saw was real. But for some reason, his heart felt a sudden jolt of pain and ache.

'Is it pain or resentment? Is there a difference between these two?' Zach let out a humorless laugh. Then he asked himself what he would do if Thea really showed up before him.

'What will you do, Zach, if Thea really suddenly show up before you?' He asked himself inwardly.


He loved her wholeheartedly since childhood. They were together all the time, especially those hard times in their life that he'd thought would last for long no matter what happened. Thea became his world and his whole life revolved around her.

He thought Thea was contented by having him by her side, and nothing else would really matter as long as they had one another, facing everything together.

He thought everything was really good until she left him with just a note. The damn note where she wrote about all her disappointments in life. He thought everything was good, but in the end, it was all a lie.

She was no longer happy and gave up… She wanted a good life and he was a hindrance. Until this very moment, he still couldn't understand how he became a hindrance in her life when he was willing to give her anything and let her do what she wanted.

He worked hard for her because he wanted to give her everything, he dreamed of a good life with her and their future family.

Another smirk crept up on his face as he cut the beef on his plate harshly as if he was killing someone through that beef.

Cielo and Torin, who were in front of Zach, looked at each other meaningfully, both agreed that Zach looked like out of his mind right now. He looked like a lunatic at that very moment.

......…

Senior Liu looked at the photos from the report submitted by Secretary Wu, staring a particular one. Then he double checked the profile several times making sure he did not miss a single detail.

"Could it be...?" He muttered with a furrowed forehead and quickly called for Secretary Wu.

"Yes, Sir?" Secretary Wu asked and Senior Liu tasked him for another work.

But this time, it's something crucial and more complicated. It made Secretary Wu's heart skip a beat as he was listening to the instructions that Senior Liu was giving him.

He had noticed it too but he wouldn't dare to suggest a thing to his Boss and complicate things further.

However, things had already come to this and he was determined to be loyal to Senior Liu. He would help until the very end.

He was also curious to find out everything. Then he sighed at the possible consequences of everything. It would be a complete disaster...
