From hating his boss to fake dating him. What could go wrong?
Secretary Andrew is the perfect secretary. Intelligent, resourceful, and beloved by the employees. While his boss, Sir Allen-the CEO's son, is cold, anti-social, and has the emotional cap...

Andrew already regrets bringing Luiz along to prison. His slick outfit and sharp features reminded some of these prisoners of the lawyers that put them here in the first place. And the way Luiz's eyes scrutinized the place did not help him at all. He sat by the edge of his seat with Andrew between him and Uncle Karlito.
Luiz leaned a little closer to Uncle Karlito beside him and asked, under his breath, "How are we so certain that these juveniles will reveal the truth?"
"Mr. Luiz let me assure you. If they would talk to anyone. It'll be our Andrew here," he replied, refusing to glance at Luiz. Uncle Karlito could be so dramatic sometimes.
"How so? These thugs did massive damage to Lopez Co. And worst of all, they disfigured Secretary Andrew's ear."
"They already apologized Mr. Luiz," Uncle Karlito replied dismissively as his attention was redirected to a group of men that spilled out from the iron doors leading to the holding cells.
"Uncle Rio," Andrew exclaimed.
He launched from his seat and dashed across the room to embrace his newly found uncle. He returned it with vigor as he caressed Andrew's back. Goon#2 and Goon #3, who came along with Uncle Rio, patted Andrew's head, amused.
"Hey, little shrimp. How you been?"
Andrew clicked his tongue. "Shut up, Goon #2."
Goon #2 wrapped his arm around Andrew's neck and roughly ruffled his hair. They teased each other for a while. No one would ever guess they chased each other to the death just a month ago.
It took a few good minutes for everybody to settle down on a table with Luiz and Uncle Karlito. Judging by the strained expression on both his uncle's faces. They probably heard the news already.
He contemplated lying, but after a while, he realized he was already telling the whole story to them. Uncle Rio simply nodded and patted his hand.
"It must have been hard, Andrew," said Uncle Rio with a comforting smile. "But you did the right thing helping him."
"Yeah, dude," Goon #3 spoke. "He's our benefactor after all. He should be happy and go chase his dreams."
"Benefactor?" Luiz asked, curious.
Goon #2 jerked his thumb toward Luiz. "So, this dude's the one who lost his phone and caused this mess, huh?"
Luiz blushed and made himself smaller as he grumbled.
"Hey, be nice to him," Andrew interjected. "He's going to be your benefactor soon, and no, he's not the cause. We're here to find out exactly who."
Goon #2 and Goon #3 immediately grinned at Luiz and shook his hand, a sudden flip on their reception towards Luiz. Uncle Rio wasn't fazed by the revelation nor tried to suck up to Luiz.
"You think this is related to Torch?" Uncle Rio asked.
Andrew nodded. He took out the list provided by Sonna and spread it on the table for everybody to see. The uncles and goons studied the list and pointed out names that were familiar to them.
