"I will never drink again." Diana said, earning her father's attention who is sitting at the end of the dining table.

Her stomach is upset because of too much alcohol she drank last night.

"What's for breakfast." She mindlessly asked, eyes half-opened.

"It's lunch time, it's 11 in the morning Diana, just so you know." Her father said. "Where have you been last night."

His voice is so firm, giving an impression of a protective, angry father.

"Honey, she just went out with Sky." Her mother meddled, hoping that they can finish the meal without a scene.

"And he did not bother to take our daughter home fine and sober? I'm sure she doesn't even remember how she got home safely." The father said.

It's true. She's clueless on how she managed to get home given how drunk she was.

Diana realizes that she's in a bad situation. Not wanting to make it worse, she decided to apologize.

"Sorry Dad, I was reckless. This won't happen again."

"Yakob called me this morning." He shared. "He talked to me about a possible business with you overseas but seeing you like this makes me think twice."

Diana's eyes widen.

"Overseas business? What did he say?" She asked with excitement, not even bothering to swallow the food in her mouth before speaking.

"He did not elaborate, he said he talked to you about it."

Diana's heart pounds loudly. Is Yakob talking about the brand his wife will release? If so, was she accepted? The thought makes her excited.

"Excuse me." She said, standing up with an unfinished meal in front of her. "I have to check my phone."

"Diana-" her father called her after she turned around to go. "If you ever have to leave, can I trust you? Will you be safe and sound without us around?"

"Of course." She wanted to sound trustworthy so she added, "whatever happened last night will never happen again. Here or anywhere."

With such excitement, Diana rushed to her room to get her phone. She's anticipating reading Yakob's message.

She opened her phone, ignoring all the other notifications. Her eyes were focused on only one conversation.

Yakob: I can't reach you. Please give me a call once you see this.

Without hesitation, he dialed his number immediately.

Diana: Yakob? I'm sorry, I just woke up. What's up?

She tried making it sound like she wasn't anticipating good news.

Yakob: How dare you. You're the first person to ignore my wife's call.

Diana's mind didn't understand what he said.

Diana: Wait, what?

Yakob: My wife called you several times last night.

Diana: Fuck, Avery did?

Diana was dumbfounded. How dare her missed the most awaited call.

Yakob: Was about to schedule an interview with you.

Diana's heart sank, she gave a negative impression. Her hopes of being chosen by Avery just dropped.
