Quinn occupies himself on reviewing and signing the documents that stacking up on his desk .
His office door opens and Kier steps inside then place another folder on the table . Quinn sighed . Looks like no vacation for him yet .
He even cannot remember when is the last time he went sailing and having fun with his friends . He has been busying on running the Crow Corporation for a year now .
"Why did you look like from a break up when you don't even have a girlfriend? Or you were actually dumped today?" Kier teases him .
"What?" Blacklines showing out on his forehead . He keeps reading the documents on his hand and not paying attention to what Kier's jesting about .
"Do you know what the main topic your employees gossiping about?"
"Huh?" he asked innocently, no idea what Kier was talking about .
"Come on, Quinn! We're friends for so long already . "
"What? I don't understand you," Quinn still has no idea .
"What's the matter with the both of you?" asked Rudolf who now closing the office door .
"Nothing, am just trying to confirm if he was breaking up or something," Kier answered .
"And I don't understand what do you mean about breaking up? You were saying as well, that even I don't have a girlfriend in the first place?" Quinn still confused in what Kier is saying about this girlfriend thing .
Rudolf exchange gazes with Kier . "Well, yeah . It is also what the investors topic . "
"What?"
"Come on, it's the news been circling the business world . You can't deny anymore . The Executives saw it earlier . "
"What earlier?"
"They saw you and your girlfriend in the elevator this lunch . " Rudolf who spill out the words .
"What? My girl--" Quinn suddenly remembers his encounter with a young girl earlier .
So this means, everyone now thinking she was his girlfriend? And even his business partners gossiping about it too?
Well, he does often question if he has a girlfriend or a mistress he keeps . Nobody believes he was single and even doubted his gender .
During any businesses meetings and gatherings, it is always the main subject that is why he sometimes ditches the parties he was invited to . Especially, that it always brought up about those marriage arranging with everyone's daughters .
Quinn was about to say something when his secretary knocks then peeping on the door .
"President Williams, someone is requesting for an appointment with you . He was in the VIP room right now . "
"Who was it?"
"It was Senator Lou, President . "
"Alright, notify him that I will be there in half an hour . "
"Copy, boss," Marie bows then get out from the room .

"No way! I'll be fine later . Please let us go!"
"Okay, I'll ask for some medicine then," she said, then step out from the bathroom .
She dialed the front desk and ask for some assistance . Not that long, the medicine arrives but still, Joanna doesn't feel better .
"Cassie, I'm sorry . We supposed to celebrate your 17th birthday . "
"What are you saying? We can still celebrate my birthday here?"
"Ugh, you made me feel guilty about ruining your day . " Joanna shoved her face on the pillow .
"Jeez, it's just my birthday . "
"No, it's not! It is your birthday! Besides, you still have to pay compensation even after canceling your reservation . " Joanna rolls around the huge sofabed .
"How about if, you should still go? Even alone, because your dress is such a waste not to ramp out there!"
"What? And there's no fun you know? Everyone has a date or company then I was alone? I am totally fine about celebrating my birthday here with you . "
"No! You should go! Then, take some food for me after, okay?" Joanna winks then she continued on convincing her to go .
"How I could enjoy the food if you were here suffering?"
"Don't mind me, I will call dad to accompany you for a while . " Joanna offers .
Ruben Chang is the present Mayor of the Hiryuu Island and currently, he attended the Dinner Party with the other mayors and National officials .
"What? No . Uncle Ruben was in an important gathering . "
"Go, papa already said yes . " Joanna showed her phone for Cassie to read her father's message .
"You shouldn't do that!"
"You're welcome . Argh, I have to go back in again . " Joanna runs the bathroom .
Cassie left in awe . Looks like, she has no choice .
"Joanna, is it really okay for you to be here alone? I'm worried you know?"
"Yes, go now!" Joanna shouted from the other side of the toilet door .
"Okay, am leaving now . "
In the end, Cassie drags her feet toward the restaurant where suppose to be she and Joanna will celebrate her birthday .
She entered the French restaurant and told the Receptionist about her reservation . The manager quickly entertains her after she was spotted on the entrance .
"This way, Miss . . . " the manager leads the way to her table .
Cassie did not expect that the table will be given her is near the floor-ceiling window . From here, the view was romantically beautiful . Her eyes wander outside and she sees that the rain still pouring so hard, however, the city still looks beautiful tonight from those dazzling lights in the entire city .
Cassie seated comfortably on the chair and the manager asks her orders .
Cassie picks up the menu and flips the pages and scan all the food that they are offering . Everything looks delicious so she can't decide right away .
"Take your time, Miss . Let me know if you already decided . "
"Oh, thank you . "
Cassie continued flipping the menus and finally, she gives her orders . While waiting, her phone rings and it was Ruben Chang .
"Hello, uncle Ruben?"
"Cassie? I'm really very sorry . The Prime Minister suddenly arrives here, I cannot bring up to leave . "
"Oh, no worries uncle Ruben!"
"Am very sorry, Cassie if I cannot come . "
"No problem, uncle Ruben! It's really fine, Joanna just wanted to make my birthday special so she has a lot of ideas . "
Cassie talks with Ruben a little longer before they ended the call .
Hmm . . . looks like, I'm going to celebrate alone . Cassie thought and sighed .
