In the middle of his work, Martin left a message. Sergio didn't think twice to immediately open the room chat, but then he was just dumbfounded. "Brand Ambassador Queen is back!!" Martin wrote that along with the picture of him standing beside the actual size standee of Raquel Murillo, looking so gracious while holding a makeup product. What's more annoying, Martin purposely put on a cute teasing smile with the heart-shaped finger. "What the hell is he doing? Such a crazy! What a childish!" But he had to admit, she looked fabulous.

Moment later, someone was knocking but opening his door at the same time, it's quite surprising for Sergio who was too concentrated on his works.

"Oh God, Monica! What in the world....?"

She didn't even listen, she was too panicked and hurriedly came closer to him.

"We're in trouble, Mr. Marquina! Real trouble!"

It's just a month away for the grand launching of the Children Care Foundation by Sergio, a non-profit foundation aimed to help children in needs, providing home care for homeless children, building schools for free education, providing free health service, and so on.

Before the actual opening event, there would be a massive promotion to gain contributors as many as possible. To support the promotion, a representative ambassador was already chosen. In fact, the preparation was already running halfway through.

"Actress Alison Parker  just had a car accident, she was in the hospital right now, she broke her leg and positively has to take a bed rest for, I don't know, as much as she needs until she's fully recovered. The news spread quickly among the stake holders and they're all calling me asking for your response about this matter as soon as possible. Miss Parker's agency is also ready to meet you to revise the contract because they absolutely can't make her working for now"

Monica reported as if she was doing a rap. Hearing those, Sergio sighed hard while massaging his temple.

"Prepare an emergency meeting now"

Everyone was in the meeting room, some were looking worried about the unfortunate event.

"Although it's a disadvantage for us, we still have to be sympathized about what happened to Miss Alison Parker and hope for a fast recovery for her. But we cannot wait until she can go back to work, we cannot delay the schedule that has been decided. So, we have no other option, we have to find a replacement for the ambassador at the moment, we'll start new, we're running out of time but we can make it"

People were asking who it could be.

"I asked Secretary Monica to pick some candidates; of course, it's based on the research, those who are fulfilling our standard. And then you discuss and make a vote, I decide"

Sergio gave a cue to Monica to play the monitor as she's the one who explained about the candidates, it also would be his first time knowing who they were. He was just sitting back on his chair, grabbed a bottle of mineral water when Monica proceeded to the first slide of her presentation. Soon as he saw it, he was almost choked. It's the picture of the actress Raquel Murillo showing up on the screen. Immediately, he was like giving the 'what the hell are you doing' look to her but she just giving an awkward grin and continued.

"Raquel Murillo? She was on the spotlight these days" someone's giving a response.

"But we can't forget how unprofessional she was and how problematic she is now" someone else shared his thought.
