Remembering that she hadn't called her team on Sunday and they would be worried and waiting for her. Ruby Jane quickly completed her morning meeting with Mino and dialed her team.

Ruby Jane heard hurriedness in the voice, [Thank god you called us, Boss. I thought you forgot us. I was near the phone from morning six.]

Ruby Jane leaned on the chair without understanding why the other end was panicking so much. Next, the girl's voice came, being more mysterious, [Boss, hold tight and listen to me carefully. I know you stay calm but still control your reaction.]

Ruby Jane couldn't understand why they were so anxious. Just then she heard Tia's voice.

"Sister?" Tia peeked inside to ask permission. She entered after seeing Ruby Jane nod with a faint smile.

The other end of the call continued after a pause, [The real Tia Spencer died three years ago in an accident. That damned girl in the shop isn't Tia, she is deceiving us.]

Was Ruby Jane angry to listen to it? Not yet.

She wanted to know if Tia pulled the trouble on herself knowing the consequences or unaware of it.

A beautiful smile bloomed on Ruby Jane's petite face looking at 'Tia' placing the cup carefully in front of her, "Thank you for the coffee, Tia." Ruby Jane sounded sweet. Nobody could say what was in her mind and what she was going to do.

'Tia' flashed an innocent smile filled with admiration for Ruby Jane having no idea her mask had fallen off.

Ruby Jane nodded at Tia when she pointed to the door indicating she will take leave. Looking at fake Tia's back, Ruby Jane asked the one who was on the call, "Why did you check on her information?"

She had only checked general information about Tia Spencer when fake Tia joined there as a shopkeeper. She hadn't asked her team to check about Tia so she inquired about the events from the beginning.

"Boss, yesterday night while tracking Seungri's action, I got information that Seungri was going through the details of the employees including the former employees of his company.

I was feeling uneasy so I wanted to replace your nerd look picture so I hacked their network. I replaced your picture with an edited realistic picture and suddenly got my eyes on a profile that had the known name - Tia Spencer.

I couldn't stop myself from checking the profile. She was a summer intern in that company for two months. When I saw the picture, the girl in it was an entirely different one.

Then I downloaded the specifics and proof that the intern had submitted to the company when she joined and compared it with the shopkeeper.

Boss, everything is the same except the picture."

The whole time Ruby Jane was silent as a grave. Even her breathing wasn't reaching the ears of the other end.

After giving a pause, "Boss, if you are so quiet, I will be frightened to death here." He sounded like he was going to cry.

Ruby Jane finally uttered her worry, "She is dating Mino." She was so happy to know Mino was moving on but didn't expect Tia's identity to turn into a bundle of mystery.

"Oh f**k... Sorry Boss. Uh... Shall I inform CEO Mino? This girl's identity isn't so simple. We are still digging up information about her but nothing fruitful."

"Nope." Ruby Jane blurted out before composing. She really hoped Mino hadn't started falling for Tia or rooted any kind of deep feelings.

She wanted to know everything about 'Tia' before speaking to Mino. She didn't want to see him go back to the same zone.
