"Just Ibanez? Where is Otiz?" AJ looked upset.Ed had just told him that from now on, Ibanez alone would be picking him up. Otiz was going to be replaced by Ibanez."Is Otiz really ill? Isn't he getting better? Like Abuela?"Tears welled up in AJ’s eyes. As far as AJ knew, Jade had passed away from illness, and now he thought Otiz wouldn’t come back for the same reason."No." While crouching in front of AJ, Ed gently patted his head. Ed had forgotten how close AJ was to Otiz when he casually mentioned it earlier. Now he realized he had to explain it better."Otiz is no longer working for me. So only Ibanez will be picking you up from now on," Ed said."You fired him?!" AJ was ready to get mad."Where did you learn that word?" Ed groaned, unsure of when or how AJ had picked it up."Why did you fire him?! You can't!" AJ grabbed Ed’s hand, crying even more."I didn’t just fire him, AJ. Otiz has his o

"Otiz?!"Lori shrieked in surprise, seeing Otiz standing in the front room. She glanced around in panic. She hadn't invited Otiz, and it would be a disaster if anyone found out. She had stepped out after the servant mentioned a guest, but she didn’t expect Otiz to be the one who showed up.“What are you doing here? Why didn’t you call me first?” Lori grabbed Otiz’s hand, trying to pull him outside. But Otiz held her hand firmly.“What’s going on?” Lori was confused.“Did I leave something at your place? Why did you bring it here? Just take it to my apartment!” Lori continued.Lori was at her parents' house at the moment, but she wasn’t always there. Though she lived separately, she stayed at her parents' house whenever she was too lazy to handle any household chores, including cooking, eating, and the like.The house had servants, so Lori didn’t have to lift a finger whe

"You're sad." Ruby extended her hand, reaching for Ed's as he sat beside her on the sand.They were at the beach, enjoying the sunset. It had become a routine for them lately, whenever Ed was home. The sea breeze brought a refreshing feeling to Ruby, whose head easily ached."You know." Ed smiled and kissed the back of Ruby's hand. He didn’t say anything, but Ruby could feel it."It's about Otiz." Ruby wasn’t guessing; she was sure. Ed had talked about it, and so had AJ, who hadn’t stopped complaining since earlier that day. He still couldn’t accept that Otiz no longer worked for Ed."Yeah. I’ll be really busy without him." Ed sighed.He could already imagine what working without Otiz would be like. Ibanez could serve as a bodyguard, but handling desk work wouldn’t be as smooth. Ed would probably need to find someone who could replace Otiz and manage the administrative details."You wouldn’t be sad if you only needed him for work." Ruby gent

“I don’t think there’s anything left to do. The police closed the case last week, and I haven’t seen any movement behind the scenes. The president seems convinced this was just an ordinary accident,” Asher said, folding his laptop shut.He had just shown Ed the official police investigation report that hadn’t been made public yet. Of course, he’d acquired it illegally.“Isn’t there any risk for Val? She met with Obrador’s house staff,” Ed asked. Val had made direct contact. She could leave a trail.“No. Val was interrogated by the police, but... I prepared some evidence.” Asher opened his laptop again and showed a video.Ed squinted, trying to make out the face in what looked like a CCTV recording. It appeared that Obrador was meeting Val. They exchanged words and then parted ways. Obrador got back into his car.The video showed a transaction before the accident, clearing

Liz smiled and waved at the customer who had just left her store. It was satisfying, as the customer had bought quite a few dresses and accessories, but it wasn't enough.The sales figures for the third week since her store had opened weren’t reaching what Liz had hoped for. Not big enough. She had managed to draw most of her customers from the boutique where she used to work, but not new ones. Liz couldn’t grow the boutique if there weren’t new customers.Liz got up from the cashier’s counter and stared out at the street. Many people—both tourists and locals—walked by, but not many looked at her shop.But there was nothing wrong with how it looked. Liz knew her shop was beautiful. It should have attracted buyers with pastel colors, mannequins showcasing trendy outfits, and a cozy atmosphere. But apparently, it hadn’t.Liz knew she had to be patient in order to see results, and that it would take time to grow. Liz
