It's been two months since Lisa Manoban graduated as a doctor, valedictorian and a well-respected person in the university. Now, she's preparing herself to start a new life, having the family's long-time business in her hands. She stared at her reflection from the mirror, wearing a Hospital Uniform that her father gave to her.

She smiled plainly, seeing the logo of their hospital at the side.

Hearing everything that Jennie has shared towards the two friends of Lisa, Lisa has come to a decision where she would not step in as a C.E.O yet. She had a talk with her father asking him to let her inside the hospital with a job as a cardiothoracic surgeon. Wanting to experience a life where people don't have to respect her without getting to know her.

Her father agreed, even complimenting her towards her wise decision. Now, she'll start a job along with her three friends to her own Hospital.

"Are you ready, sweetheart?" Mrs. Manoban interrupted the little moment from behind. Wearing a sweet smile, that helps Lisa calm down in any situation. "Your car is outside, Jisoo and Rosé are in the living room. They're waiting for you."

Lisa nodded, walking towards her mother. "Thank you, mom, for telling me. Can you tell Jisoo and Rosé to wait for me, more. I have something to do before going down."

Mrs. Manoban sighs, holding her daughter's shoulders. Observing every part of her, "Look at you all grown up." She smiled once again, "You're nervous, aren't you? Your ears are red."

Lisa shook her head, declining the assumption. Mrs. Manoban didn't say anything at that moment, rather she laughed seeing Lisa's ears turning more redder than usual. One thing about Lisa, you'll see right through her when she's lying or feeling something, which is why her family doesn't have the hard time when it comes to reading her.

She's like an open book.

"You can lie to your father, but you can't lie to your mother." Mrs. Manoban fixes Lisa's hair, staring at her dearly. "You'll be fine, sweetie. You're a smart girl, you'll do your job well. I know that. You're a Manoban. You're a legacy."

"Thank you, ma."

"You're very welcome."

The world seems to be cruel for Irene, her eyes darted at the road without a traffic and cars, buses, motorcycles, driving freely. She grabbed her hair frustratedly looking at her flat tire, and her tools all over at the side of the road. Adding that her night shift will start now, meeting the new soon to be C.E.O is not her thing.

Irene didn't know what to say however she's relief that the soon to be ceo is not someone who likes to have her stuff get her on her own way by using her parents wealth. But she doesn't care at all, as usual she'll do her thing mind her own business and get rich.

First of all, to get rich—she needed to fix her car first. Irene bit her pinky nails and call Bogum, who she happens to remember used to love to fix car. On the phone; "Bogum, you know how to fix flat tire, right? Can you- like come over here in the nephron street? I'm here right now."

"Irene, oh my god. You told me you're on your way, I'm here in the hospital already. I've been ask by my dad to come here and help the staff for the welcoming of Ms. Manoban and her friends. Can't you call your sister?"

Irene groaned silently, "I can't. She's studying right now. She needed to review, remember? To think about disturbing her at this time is not something I would do in my entire life. You do know that, right?

"I know, I know. But Irene, I can't go there right now. However, I can later. Go and take a cab, go hop in my car later then I'll fix it for you-"

"Uh, Ms? Do you need help?"

It's like an angel speaking, Irene didn't waste any seconds to drop the call. Leaving Bogum wondering what's happening with her, she turned around only to see a familiar girl somehow.

The woman in front of her was smiling widely, her eyes filled with excitement upon seeing Irene which leave Irene wondering and confused. "Yeah, my tire is flat. I can't go to my work because of that."

The woman nodded, observing the car. Irene take a peek at the car of the woman who appears to be richer than she thought she were. She noticed the other girls from inside, just focusing on their phone, the other one eating some biscuits.

"This looks old already," the girl mumbled. "It's thin, that's why it became flat. Do you have any extra wheels? We can replace it if you want." The girl offered, Irene scratches her head. The woman can see Irene worried face making her pursue her lips together.

Irene sighs, "Here's the thing, I don't have any extra wheels. That's actually my last one." She explains.

"Oh, that's why." The woman looked back at her car, "Haechan! Can you go here?''

The man inside wearing a proper suit, stepped out of the car, followed by the woman with the black hair and her phone. 'Haechan' on the other hand approaches them, and was about to utter something, but the woman shakes her head. Haechan nodded, "Yes?"

"Can you call someone for this?" Haechan nodded, "then you stay here until it changes the wheel, maybe everything that goes wrong in this car. I'll drive her on her way to work. Don't tell my dad anything about this, is that okay?"

"Sure, It's okay. Ms. Kim?"

"Jisoo." The woman called, Irene just stood their watching the three of them.

"Come on, now. Jennie's bored already, you know her when she gets sulky." Jisoo pointed out, smiling at Irene kindly, "Get inside? We'll take you to work!"

"Uh--"

"It's alright, we insist." The woman stated, finalizing everything. "You need to go to your work, I'm sure you're late, right?"

Irene can't do anything at all, so she nodded shyly. "Thank you, guys. I owe you a lot."

"You're welcome." They made their way to the car the woman opening the other side of the front seat, smiling. Coming back after bidding her bye to Haechan. "All set!"

"If you don't mind me asking.." Irene hesitates, she can feel everyone starring at her. "What's your name?"

"Lisa." She smiled. "Just call me Lisa."

"I'm Irene."
