Jisoo dropped Ruby Jane to the M Industries before he routed to the base camp of the M securities. She wanted to go with him but she had loads of work to be done. She wanted to help Lisa with his work and she had to handle two important meetings with Skylar.

Mino didn't know Ruby Jane had decided to help Lisa at his company thinking Mino won't let her work, so he asked for a day off to spend time with his parents and his new girlfriend at the farmhouse where his parents usually lived.

Ruby Jane was really happy knowing Tia didn't step back after knowing the truth so she let them enjoy their day without telling them she is busy.

Tia too asked if she could go with Mino so Ruby Jane arranged a man to look after the florist shop for the day and swamped herself with loads of work having no time to even take a relief breath.

Milo was helpless seeing her doing the work one after the other. She had so much work that she was reading a file even while walking to the meeting rooms and office.

He wanted to inform Lisa who was the only person she would hear but she had warned him to be silent. So he tried to be helpful without wasting time in convincing her.

On the other hand, it was the second day after the revelation of the police officers. The first thing that hit the news channel was the termination of Chief Powell aka Brodie Powell and he was under investigation of higher authority.

Seungri hadn't left a way of redemption for Brodie Powell and earned the pats on his back from the netizens.

The other four officers were breathing a sigh without leaving the hospital. They didn't want to provoke anybody and complete the suspension time as they tried to manipulate the investigation team members who were looking into the case.

Unaware that they were being observed in the hospital, a video of them discussing the plans to get away by the law hit the media harsher than the previous day.

This time didn't only four officers were caught red-handed but also a few higher-level officers' names came up causing the public to go berserk.

The netizens started a petition to punish every unlawful, immoral officer. Some organizations got on the roads asking for justice, stirring up the day-to-day life of common people.

Many roads were blocked, many parks filled with people who came up with new manifestos and watchwords. The placards had different unpleasant notices and announcements making the situation even worse.

They were making nothing but giving useless and heavy coverage for the media and disturbing the city's functioning and atmosphere.

The officers who were caught wanted to push through the period of heat. When the netizens and public will cool down, nobody will care, so they thought to keep quiet until then.

Due to the development of the circumstances, the pressure on the higher authority was too high. The delay in their response was earning the pointed fingers at them so they had no choice but to take control by issuing the orders.

With the work, Ruby Jane had to keep track of it. Thanks to Milo Wen, who relayed her information from time to time when he felt it necessary.

At the end of the working hours, Ruby Jane looked like she lost a few kilos due to mental stress. Checking the time on her wristwatch, Ruby Jane called Milo Wen to the office.

"Secretary Wen, please drop me at the hospital on the way to your home."

She hadn't brought her car, she didn't have the strength to drive looking at a pile of files. She wanted the Shadow team to be alert as the progress of the events made the city unsafe and easier to get attacked.
