Things became a lot weirder for Josh after the event at the pub. He couldn't quite figure out if Zach was just messing around or not. "You're mine... you're mine... you're mine..." Zach's voice kept on repeating on his mind.

After Zach whispered that to his hears, Josh quickly pushed him away and retreated back to their table. There, he practically got himself drunk. He just didn't want to think about it at all.

The thing is, if it's any other guy, then Josh would definitely throw a punch or two. He'll even feel disgusted, but when Zach said it, it felt weird. He didn't quite felt angry at all. It was like, he didn't mind Zach saying those words to him at all. Which he should've. Maybe he was starting to get drunk already. Maybe he already had too much beer.

Because of that, Josh got more infuriated at Zach. He was angry for a whole different reason. Forget about the hotel incident, Josh was angry because Zach kept messing with his head. He was even angrier at the fact that Zach can mess up with his head.

Josh was even more over the edge that day than he was the day before. It was really hard for him to concentrate, knowing that Zach was just near. Every time he would hear Zach's voice, see his face, or even just hear Zach's name, Josh would lose his patience and temper.

"Eunice, can you stop hovering over me? I can't concentrate." Josh lashed out as Eunice kept on hovering around him. Fortunately, Josh was shooting a set of handbags for a promotional pictures of one of their clients, or else he would've scared his clients away.

Eunice moved away instantly. "Change the bags." Josh ordered around.

Zach was reading an article on the web, with his left elbow on the desk and his left cheek resting on his left hand. He was getting really bored. Talking to Damien and teasing the intern sounds fun, but Damien was busy editing pictures, and Zach knew that disturbing him wasn't such a good idea.

"What did you do now?" Naomi asked as she turned Zach's chair around. She sounded really curious, but at the same time really tired.

"About what?" Zach asked his he slumped back to his chair. "I really want to answer you, but I have no idea as to what you are talking about." Zach replied cheekily.

"To Josh. You did something last night didn't you?" Naomi asked impatiently. "I told you to apologize to him, but why is he in a fouler mood than yesterday? What did you do? What did you say?"

"Would you relax? You're scaring Damien..." Zach replied with a smile as he turned his head to Damien, who was busily working on the computer, seemingly oblivious to Naomi's tirade. "Or not..."

"Zach, do you want Josh to hate you for real? Is that what you want? Have you forgotten why we agreed to let you work here as soon as you get discharge? Stop messing around..." Naomi argued, sounding really frustrated.

"You're really invested in us, aren't you?" Zach asked, sounding a little bit more serious than before.

"That's a given. And so is Norman." Naomi replied. "So get your act together and do what you came here to do, quickly. Ahhh... really, you two are driving me crazy."

"This whole situation is driving me insane." Zach said. "When he gets his memories back, I would make him regret forgetting about me." He added threateningly.

"How can he get his memories back, if instead of helping him you keep pissing him off?" Naomi said.

"I know that..." Zach admitted, sounding really defeated. "It's his fault. I followed him to apologize. I have every intention to, you know, but then I saw him flirting with a girl. I lost my temper, seeing that." Zach became silent for a few moment. "Seeing it in person, hurts even more. It really hurts." Just remembering that scene made Zach's heart heavier.
