"I can't believe she is your sister, Richie." Ms. Grace says.

"I know Ms. Gorgeous. I'm more handsome than her." Richie flutters himself by setting his collar and strokes his hair.

"No, Richie. She's very pretty." She taps on his shoulder and holds Jas' hands, "Even babies and small animals probably love you. Such a beauty you are. Haha! Be careful from the admirers."

"What the hell! Anyway, she had a small animal admirer", Richie feels annoy and mutters out slowly. Hearing that Cham came out from Jas' pocket and looks Richie seriously.

Jas pushes Cham inside silently and thanks to Ms. Grace with a smile, "Thank you. You're also looking gorgeous Mrs..."

"Not 'Mrs..', she's Ms. Grace, Laura Grace. One of the partners of our company." Chris introduces her to Ms. Grace. "Don't mind, Lady Grace. Since she is new..."

Jas disrupts, "Oh! Please accept my apology, Ms. Grace". Jas apologizes to her.

"No prob, sweethearts." She gently laughs and says, "Oh! I forgot. I have to check the store. I will meet you for lunch. Excuse me."

While she is going, "Take care, Ms. Gorgeous. Have a great day." Jas wishes and waves at her with full of enthusiasm.

"Hahaha, thank you. Love you senorita, nos vemos". She waves back and enters the elevator.

"What does she mean, brother?" She pushes Richie's hand with her elbow.

"Br... brother? Me?" She nods. "Uh! Yeah, my little sis." He looks up. "God must be crazy."

Chris says, "She said 'See you soon' in Spanish. She knew many languages indeed." Telling that, he leaves to his cabin.

"Nos vemos, sis", Richie waves.

"Uh! Wait. What about me?" Jas questions Richie.

"Who are you?"

"Fairy from fairyland."

Richie hits his face with his hand and asks again, "Rather than, fairy?"

"Jas, Jasmine. Guardian angel of Nick."

Now, he hits his head to the wall, "Rather than that?" He goes nuts.

"Assistant of... Chris."

"Now, you're on the point. So follow him. Bye! Bye!" He waves ."I will find it very soon who you are?" He smirks and leaves. Jas rushes to Chris' cabin.

Soon after she reaches Chris' cabin she observes Chris resting at his table by holding his head, has kept down, and feeling for something. She has seen a newspaper in the coach on his left side.

She notices the picture of Nick in the newspaper and puts it on the table of Chris with excitement, "Hey! Mr. Chris, look! It's Nick, right? How handsome he is! Waaaaa..😍"

He takes a deep breath and says, "How pity! You're just seeing his pic, leaving his problem behind. Our company is going to boom, it seems. That's why I've thrown this newspaper aside.", he leans back in his chair and closes his eyes with his arms.

"What's the problem Nick is facing? Tell me. I'll solve within a snap", she gazes at him with a beam.

"Thanks for your concern, Jasmine", while he's talking to Jas, Dany and I enter.

"Chris? I need to talk with you about the evidence..." I ask him by looking at Jas, "in-person".

"Oh! Okay. I have....something to do. You guys, carry on. Nos vemos", she smiles and gives them privacy.
