Leo asked her, "Aren't you gonna get dolled up a bit?"

"Do I look like I'm in the mood to dress up?" She grabbed Leo and hurriedly headed out.

Meanwhile, Hansen was still lounging on the living room couch, busy with his new social media app.

He browsed through Mia's page, then went on to check his grandson's page.

Not only was he liking and commenting on everyone's posts, he was also playing around with emojis.

He was chilling there, completely clueless that his grandson and daughter-in-law were running around like headless chickens.

Leo drove to Andre's company, only to find out he wasn't there.

The on-duty staff informed her, "Mrs. Cedillo, Mr. Cedillo hasn't been here all day."

"Where does Andre usually hang out then?"

The staff, not daring to pry into their superior's whereabouts, suggested, "You should ask Alice and Noah."

"Give me the phone. I'll ask right now."

Mia dialed the number given to her by the staff. She took three deep breaths, stared at the phone for three seconds, then finally hit the call button.

Once the call connected, Mia regained her composure.

She asked, "Hello Alice, this is Mia, Andre's wife."

"Mrs. Cedillo?"

Mia nodded and then said, "Alice, I need a favor. I want to surprise Andre, but I don't know his usual hangouts. Can you help? And please, don't let him know."

Alice, cautious, asked Mia, "Mrs. Cedillo, why do you want to surprise Mr. Cedillo?" There was no special occasion or holiday, and it was odd to suddenly plan a surprise. Plus, didn't she just send him flowers yesterday?

Mia said, "Isn't the expensive bracelet worth me planning a surprise for him?"

"That was Mr. Cedillo's apology to you."

"Alice, you seem to know quite a lot. Not only do you strategize for him, you also know him very well. You even know whether he wants a surprise!" The annoyance in Mia's voice was hard to miss.

Alice sensed Mia's displeasure. He hesitated for a moment, then gave Mia two addresses.

"Any other places?"
