Maplewood Estates.

Mia tagged along with her hubby to clean up the place. The previous cleaner took off for half a month during the Christmas holidays, so Andre decided to step up to the plate himself. His wife was in the passenger seat, joining him for the ride.

However, while they were busy tidying up, Michael rang up, "Hey, Mia, didn't you see my messages? Why are you ghosting me? I'm laid up in the hospital and you can't even swing by?" Mia said, "I'm swamped at home. Don't have time to see you."

Andre asked his wife, "Who's calling?"

Mia replied, "That guy I told you about, Michael."

Andre walked over, grabbed the phone from his wife, put it on speaker, then handed it back to her. Mia's heart raced as she watched her husband's bossy demeanor. She thought he was quite the hunk. "Mia, is there a man with you?" Michael asked.

Andre looked at his wife, waiting for her to answer the question.

"Yup, there's a man right here. He's my husband." Mia said.

Michael didn't buy it, "Are you spending Christmas with your brother? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"My husband, actually. It's Mr. Cedillo." Mia said.

"Ha-ha, why are you like those women online, calling him your husband? I bet he doesn't even know you exist." Michael said.

Mia stammered, "No, it's not like that. Michael, you have to believe me. My husband is really Andre. I'm his wife, married into a wealth family."

"Alright, keep dreaming, I won't bother you." Michael still didn't buy it. Who would believe that they got a call from a tycoon's cute wife? She even dropped by to visit him, bringing fruits and money. And also, who would believe that Andre would marry a brawl-loving woman! At this point, Andre took over the phone, "Hello, this is Andre, the CEO of Cedillo Inc., Mia's husband."
