Nothing is making sense anymore. 'The visions has come back!' Yibo dreaded the fact and had instantly thought of his closest friend Seungyon. 'I need his help!' he panicked struggling to get off Haoxuan's hold on his arm.

Haoxuan sensed Yibo's actions were off sync while the man looks utterly distraught. So when he had seen a spot where noone is around, he pushed Yibo against the wall and gripped his lapels. "Pull your head together, Yibo! We've only got limited time! You asked me to help you in this! Now show me you haven't forgotten your goal!"

Yibo's chest rise and fall, eyes fixated at the man growling at his front. Haoxuan's words etched its way to his panicking mind but he can't completely nail down the half-buried surge of his emotions.

Revenge is the air he breathes and his drive to survive. Yet, why is Zhan's existence carving its way on his whole being and making him doubt his sworn purpose in this lifetime? And the visions...why are they coming back now?

"I need your answer, Mr. Wang." Haoxuan poked his finger on Yibo's chest reminding him of the need for his assurance, that his partner in crime still remembers the real reason he is standing on that very place.

Mind clearing, Yibo shoved all his questions aside and made a radical choice, nodding his head and making Haoxuan smirk as he regarded Yibo's response. "Then let's go. It's impolite to be late."

With that, the two Wangs left the building and headed to their hidden agenda keeping Zhan ignorant of the two's deeds and the under the table deals they are making.

On the other hand, Zhan didn't like Haoxuan's tone when he claimed Yibo away. The way he spat the words, 'You're out of this.', slapping to his face that he still has to unravel more secrets and break more walls to at least understand Yibo and be one of his trusted allies. Oh how he despised Haoxuan's hand touching Yibo's arm possessively while Yibo just followed him without a fight!

His insecurity and jealousy were of no great help either. He was left hurt to mend his own feelings. Miserably shedding off his false hopes of making his feelings resonate and reach Yibo.

His remaining hours in the office felt dragging without Yibo's presence. And knowing Haoxuan was with him in an unknown place doing things he doesn't even have the courage to think was making him, more and more, a hopeless man.

He wanted the day to end, go home and cry himself to sleep. But the unlikely sequence of events proves the day isn't over yet.

His vision blears after seeing Ziyi's photo scoop of the renowned Cold Prince's lunch date with his former lead actress in Gank Your Heart drama series, Wang Zi Xuan.

There was another older woman on the said photograph, but Zhan's unfocused eyes refuses to perceive the details anymore after realizing Yibo's attire is exactly the suit he was wearing today.

In cue, Yibo's voice played back in his mind, 'I don't eat lunch. The years of training makes it hard to quit the habit.'

"Ah!" Zhan gasped. "What a fool I have been!" It is now clear to him that Yibo's words are all lies and that loving him means he is seeking for his own heartbreak.

'He said I am his everything...what a load of bullsh*t!' Zhan laughed wilfully like mad while tears stained his face, retrogradely realizing that Yibo will remain to be someone that he can never have.

In between his bitter sorrow, his phone buzzed with Ziyi on the other line. Despite wanting to have some alone time, he slid the answer button after awhile and listened to words which his brain refuses to comprehend.

"We currently have exclusive access to this photo, but the papz are asking compensation so they won't sell it to others. We can still shut their mouths and burn all copies. Do you want me to do that?" Ziyi explained wanting her superior to give advice, however Zhan has already zoned out of the topic. "Zhan, it might just be a friendly meal together. Previous co-workers can still meet up, right? They could just be friends." She pacified hearing the silence on the other line.

It surprised her when Zhan chortled loudly dissing the issue at hand. "Hey, Ziyi! Let's go to that club you usually frequent to. And bring Ji Li! It's Friday. Let's have some fun!"
