Luciana paced back and forth within her cubicle. A little tensed and a little excitement crept in her, finally she is in a close distance with her long time crush.

Diego has been Luciana's crush since school. Her being quiet and timid never made her visible to Diego's eyes then, unfortunately.

After knowing Ella, her senior in school, works in a recruitment company which helps both the companies Diego associated with, Luciana approached Ella to bring her closer to him.

A year after trying, getting a job in Agosti Firearms, one of the company Diego managing, excites her more.

It was almost lunch time and Diego was nowhere to be seen in the office. There wasn't any calls from him or message left that he won't be coming.

'Why isn't he here?'

As a secretary Luciana had all the right reasons to check on Diego if he will be  in the office for the day or not but there was also a little hesitation. Her heart beats rapidly just at the thought of making a call to her boss.

Her thought was broken by one of her colleague who tapped her shoulders asking about her lunch plan.

Luciana thought of Ella, maybe she can get Ella to Agosti's office so they could go lunch together.

Without a second thought, she dialled Ella's number.

"What on freaking earth happen to you?" Ella yelled in shock as Thomas opened Diego's room door for them to enter. 

Diego groaned tossing and turning on his bed. "I wish there was some kind of recorder to repeat the answer for your questions"he said struggling to sit straight.

"I have been repeating the same answer for god knows how many times"

Thomas walked in behind Ella "What happened, Diego? When did this happened?" he asked.

"Did those bad guys come after you?" Ella chipped in.

"Ohhh... why too many at a time" Diego covered his ears.

Thomas and Ella waited until Diego spoke again.

"This happened last night and no. Those bad guys did not do this. It was an accident. My mistake. I skipped the traffic signal" he said it in a go.

"Dumbass!" Ella sat on the edge of the bed  while Thomas sat on the couch by the window.

"What are you two doing here by the way?" Diego asked.

"To ask you some questions" Thomas looked at Ella and back to Diego.

Questions to where finding Ara would get a clearer direction once they find out who is actually passing the message. Thomas had mention that he can even set a few people following the suspect  once they know who it is. Security's influence. Ella's phone rang interrupting the interview that was about to begin. 

"Yeah" Ella answered the call once she was completely out of the room.

"Hello, Ella. Where are you? Do you mind joining for lunch with me?"

"Sorry Lu, I don't think I can. I'm in Diego's house, came to visit him" Ella stuck her tongue out and slapped her forehead for saying that... Now Luciana is going to be worried about Diego.

"What happened to him?" Luciana blurted.

"Nothing much. Its a small accident" 

"What?! Accident? I'm coming now" Ella heard the sound of papers ruffling and thing falling in the background.
