During her time at the Arvesso's Resort, Lily excelled in her work, making an effort to put aside the issues she had left in the city for two months. She had little trouble selecting the finest furnishings and appliances and formed good relationships with Kael, the rest of the staff, and the Arvesso family.  Although she didn't need to stay on the island for the entire two months, Lily chose to do so, given the troubles that Kenneth and his friends were facing. Mr. Arvesso welcomed her with open arms and allowed her to stay as long as she wished.

During midnight…  Soft kisses on Lily’s lips roused her from sleep. Her past stirred within her, briefly triggering anxiety, but she quickly realized it was Drew snuggled up to her. Even though it felt like a dream, her body recognized his touch.  "I thought I was dreaming," Drew murmured, smiling between the kisses.

Kael observed the hurt in Faye's eyes after his mother introduced Danica as his girlfriend. Earlier, he had felt uneasy and wanted to correct his mother, but he didn't want to upset her on her birthday.  "Yes, I was hurt! Is that what you want to hear?

"Cristina is my secretary. Of course, I know everything about her. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that my son still loves Cristina, regardless of their marriages!" Master Walton said, casting an inquisitive glance at Drew's father. However, Lily's mind remained fixated on the fact that her biological father was the same man whom she considered her boss for two months and who was also the father of Danica and Orion.

A few days later, Kael was at work when Faye Burnham, an unexpected guest, came to see him. He hadn't seen her since his mother's birthday. What is she doing here? For the next few days, he made a conscious effort to forget about the woman, as she had wished. He wanted to refocus his goals and attention away from Faye because she was driving him crazy. However, Faye visiting him in his office raised serious issues for him because he had already decided to stay away from her due to the potential conflicts within their family. "Let her in," he instructed his secretary. A short while later, he watched Faye enter his room. In a dark pencil skirt and a light button-up blouse, she presented a polished appearance. When she saw his stern face, she gulped and shut the door. "I'm sorry for my sudden presence! What I need from you is important.” “Please take a seat.” Faye followed. "Thank you!"
