"Yeah, that's her." Brian said.

The old man on the sofa chuckled, "A little girl is getting you this worked up, she's got me curious now."

Brian cringed, at a loss for words on how to explain to his boss the talent this "little girl" had for getting under his skin.

Brian hadn't come to discuss Mia. He needed his boss's help to resolve a dilemma, "Boss, how can I solve the Marshal Group's predicament?"

"In five days, Harry will be throwing a birthday bash. That could be your chance." The Boss said.

Brian rose, "Thanks for the advice, boss."

Brian didn't sleep at all that day. Meanwhile, Mia had been sleeping all day. By the time she woke up, it was already afternoon.

Mia lay in bed, the blanket wrapped around her petite figure. She had one arm exposed, her hand absently caressing the blanket until it found her phone. She picked it up and checked the time, "It's already three in the afternoon."

Mia sighed and tossed her phone onto the bed, pulling the blanket over her face. Underneath the covers, she muttered non-stop, cursing at and blaming Andre, and even fantasizing about giving him a good beating. Meanwhile at work, Andre finished a meeting and checked the time. He figured Mia was probably awake by now. So, Andre gave her a call. The first call was hung up on, the second time, the phone was switched off. Andre looked at his phone and said, indulgently, "Young girl with a big temper."

He wasn't angry, instead, he put down his phone, deciding to head home early to keep her company. He looked at his evening schedule and cancelled any unnecessary engagements.

By six, he was out of the office.

In the Cedillo family.

Mia sat on the couch with legs curling up. Her hair was a mess, looking like she just woke up. When Andre got home, she only gave him a quick glance.

Andre sat down next to her, and she got up and sat next to Hansen. Hansen's eyes darted back and forth between the two. He wondered, "what's up with this couple?"

To avoid any trouble, he moved to sit next to his grandson. Andre got up and sat in Hansen's previous spot. Mia got up again and moved to sit between Hansen and Leo.

Seeing this, the grandfather and grandson realized something was off. Leo, sensing danger, called out to Hansen, "Grandpa, we should leave."
