Yuno scrubs the bathroom spotless before going back to babysitting.
The children are all taking power naps except for Tori who is wide awake and staring at Yuno.
Her heart flutters watching the baby boy navigate his surroundings.
She picks him up and gives him a night time bath playing with him but part of her is very sceptic about Mr Tachibana's intentions for her ability.
Tachibana makes a call to his personal assistant who's on vacation, "I hate to cut your little holiday short but we've got work to do. Schedule a meeting with Mr Roman for next Monday we need to finalise the business deal I've got in mind.
"The construction company has not been doing so well I need you to investigate where the problem is in that department, also I need you to continue the search for Setsuno Suzuki."
The male on the other end of the line sighs and pauses for a moment. He never stopped working even when he was on vacation all he has to do is send an email to Tachibana and his vacation might resume.
Now that he needs to go back to work he's suddenly feeling the need to go on vacation.
"I'll have the time and place posted on your wall in an hour. Setsuno Suzuki is very good at covering his tracks, but I have already contacted him about your insatiable need for him, so I'll get back to him immediately and arrange for him to be brought into your office by tomorrow.
"Regarding the construction, it seems funds are being misappropriated and only half of the money was used to repair the roads instead of the full amount. Having said that, this little project will not be a permanent contract and people will be jobless all over again."
Tachibana weighs his options clearly. Some of the people are dependent on this construction project to feed their families if he had known sooner that he trusted another money hungry dog he would've sorted the mess out earlier.
"Alright, I'll handle the rest from here have Setsuno in my office ASAP."

The ball is finally over and the annoying pests that have infected his Palace are leaving. Tachibana could not be any happier.
Yuno waves goodbye to the children that had a sleep over in her room grateful to finally have a chance to get some shut eye. She barely slept with the kids waking up one by one in the middle of the night.
"I think I'm starting to share your enthusiasm for toddlers. Next time you need a baby sitter break every bone in your body searching for Sensen before you decide to bring them to me."
Yuno surprises Tachibana who stands in place. Utter shock expressed on his face as Yuno stomps off leaving him with an amused expression after a short while.
He'll blame her mood on her sleep deprivation and let her rest she still needs to work on Mr Ryujin again who is also another man who would leave hundreds of people jobless if he kicked the bucket right now.

Yuno wakes up and takes a long bath before walking down the stairs ready for work. Kai is still here and sharing yoghurt with Tori.
"Miss Lin …"
Yuno grows bold and raises a finger at Tachibana so he's quiet and she can speak her mind freely without interruption. If he's about to ask for another favour he has another thing coming because today she is not in the mood for extra work.
"I know you're the boss and I need this job, but don't push your luck sir. I will not be baby sitting a bunch of random toddlers from now on I'll stay in my own lane and leave the children to dear old Sensen."
