He got a call as soon as he reached his office. It was from Felix Wines of Northern State Branch.
"Good morning." He said to Mr. Wines' secretary.
"Good morning. Do you have an appointment?" The woman slightly twitched her lips.
"Mr. Wines is expecting me. I'm from Eastern Construction Company."
"Mr. Younas?"
"Yes."
"Please come inside. Mr. Wines has been waiting for you." She stood up and open the door for him.
"Good morning."
Felix Wines lift his head up and meet his eyes.
"Oh, hi. Good morning. Come and take a sit."
"Thank you." He walk towards him and sat on the chair in front of his desk. 
"I was reviewing your weekly report and the others. So far, I want to tell you that you are doing great on this project."
"Thank you." He slightly bows his head in appreciation.
"But there are some things we need to change slightly. So I need you make a new idea to be present next week on our monthly conference."
"Okay. I'll try my best."
"Another thing is, I want to personally give this to you."
He opened his table's drawer and took out an envelope.
'YOU ARE INVITED'
"An invitation?"
"Yeah." He answered. "It's not a company event but the CEO wants to invite his colleagues. It was his daughter's birthday."
Conrad became speechless. Is it for real?
He has the privileged to come to one of the most powerful families affair?
"You can bring your partner there. But be sure that you will come. You know what benefits are waiting for you when you come to this kind of event, right?"
It rings the bell! Of course he knew it.
There will be countless of businessmen and leaders of powerhouses all around the state that is going to be present. And it's a bright and waving opportunity for him.
"Of course I will."
"Good!"
They both stood up and he's about to go when he remember something.
"Uhm, regarding some matter... Can I ask you something?" He faced him.
"Sure." Felix shrugged his shoulders.
"The woman you are with yesterday..."
"Oh, Siren?"
"Is that her name?"
"Yeah. Why? Do you know her? I remember seeing you talking to her last night."
Conrad's face soften. Is he really mistaken?
"Yeah. I guess I mistook her for someone I know."
"Oh. Is that so?"
"Is she your girlfriend?"
Felix let out a faint laugh. "No. She's my stepsister."
Conrad frowned. Stepsister?

Since Jeff refused to lend a helping hand, Siren couldn't do anything but to ask her housekeeper to assist Harry's moving.
She asked Felix's secretary to negotiate with the real estate agent that she and Harry once talked to.
She bought a new unit at the same building. Also to send some people to furnished the place.
Before Harry's discharge, she thought about moving his things first. But when she visited his place, she found out that there is nothing suitable for him to take.
All the things are old and or broken. Even his clothes are almost like damp.
She can't believe that there is someone who can live in such shabby place like that. Is Harry really living like a rat? She didn't have any idea about that.
Harry was neat and clean. But the his place is shabby and badly needing a lot of repairs. He looks warm and accomodating, but the truth is, he gets cold everynight and he lives in a place that cannot be considered as a shelter.
After three consecutive hours, she was informed that unit was ready be occupied.
She got up from her bed and decided to check the place first.
Only wearing a white t-shirts and a denim shorts, she wore her white sleepers and go out.
Since the flat unit is in the twentieth floor, she took the elevator going down.
Halfway going down, the elevator stops and open its door. Siren's eyes widened as she met his eyes.
The man stepped in without moving away his gaze into her eyes.
She blinked twice before looking away.
"I can't believe we met again." The man said when elevator closed.
Siren keep her mouth shut. She can't afford to say something. It's an awkward feeling seeing this person again. And of all places, they bound to meet in a tiny space like this. Alone.
"Hey..." He tapped her arm slightly.
"Sorry, but I didn't know you." She shrugged her arm.
"Really?" He's mips curved into a smirk. "How come? Don't tell me after we had spe--"
"I honestly don't know you. And if you will keep insisting, I will call this as harassment." She cut him off because he could say something else.
"Woah! Me harassing you? Why would I harass you?" He frowned.
"Exactly my point. Keep your distance, Mister. I ain't have any habit of telling bad jokes anyway."
When the elevator reached twentieth floor, she immediately got off. Leaving the man behind. Confused.
He knew it was her. But why she was saying she's not?
He had been looking for her since the day after they spent a night together. Foolish to say but he was really attracted to her. But that time, he only knew her name and nothing else.
He smiled at the thought that she was just around. Now, he have all the chances to see her again and again.

"I can't believe you are doing favors like this for your assistant." Jeff commented while driving his car.
They fetch Harry at the hospital earlier and Jeff couldn't do anything but to complain.
Harry's face became pale with what the bodyguard had said. He averted his face in embarrassment. He had thought about it too. His employer is really giving him favors. Leaving him embarrassed at himself. He felt that even his lifetime wouldn't be enough to pay for everything she was doing for him.
"Are you being jealous because I've been treating him like a family unlike you?" She looked at the man's face.
"I'm not a petty person. So why would I be jealous?" He snorted.
"Exactly. Why are you questioning me then?"
"Uhm, Miss Siren, I don't have to be pampered like this. When you took me to the hospital and covers all the charges are really so much for me to thanked for. But I should go back to my place after all. I'm afraid I can't pay you enough if I would go with you."
"Shut up! Am I asking for payment with all of this?"
"We've been into your house before, and I could say you are just one step away from living like a stray dog." Jeff commented.
Harry pursed his lips tightly. He's right. He was just a step away from a stray dog. He's working in the biggest people in business world, but he was living his life fighting everyday just to survive.
Before he got his work as Young lady Mendez's assistant, he used to work as a male receptionist who works at Black Diamond Hotel while struggling hard to continue his studies in college.
He was an orphan since his parents got divorced when he was seventeen, and use to work every part-time jobs he could find to make a living.
When his contract was about to finished,  he received a call from HR office to go for a new executive job interview. Luckily, he had passed the screening and got the job.
It was a high paying job that gives him a clear vision of his bright future ahead.
But everything became doomed when his mom's two stepsons with their friends came that night, asking for money. He was resistant, not giving them a chance to take advantage of him.
He's living like a rat in a hole. He's living in place he could only pay two hundred dollars a month and can't even afford to buy a good mattress to lay his back at night.
But those people are merciless. Resulting him being badly beaten at the end. They even robbed his two precious things. His new phone that Miss Siren had given to him, and his debit card.
He was ready to die that day. But the Young Lady never gave him the chance to go without her permission.
"I had an idea! Why don't you live with Harry then? It will be a great favor for you too since no one is giving you favors." She gave him a silly grin.
But Jeff threw a deadly glare at her.
