"What? Do you have a fever?" I asked Yeji. I was talking to Lisa when I noticed her stiff posture, her back facing us. So I halted my conversation with my girlfriend.

"Hwang, do you need to go to the doctor? I can call her" Lisa offered.

"Uhm.. no. Just, I just felt a bit dizzy. M-maybe it's the weather. I'm going to be fine. I will just.. I need to go to the washroom" she said with difficulty.

"Are you sure?" I asked again.

"Y-yeah" she looked at me this time and her eyes turned a little wide, her color turning into another shade deeper. She hurried to the washroom without another word.

"What happened to her?" Chae asked looking suspicious.

"I don't know. She looked sick" I said observing Chae's facial expressions.

"Babe, I need to go for a while. There's an urgent matter in the office. I need my files at home. Can I just meet you guys in the firing range? Start without me. I'll join when I can" Lisa said looking stressed.

"Aww baby.. do you really have to? You're on leave" I whined.

"Sorryyy... This is really really important. It's the second quarter, my team is falling apart without my guidance. Ugh.. I should really fire some people for being God damn incompetent! They're ruining my mood" she said now more stressed.

"Okay. It's fine. You can go. Let me know if you're still joining us in firing. If not, it's still okay. Just do what you have to. And stay safe!" I told her giving in. I can't put more stress to her. She will only stress more if I complain about her sudden leave.

"Yes babe. You too. Stay with Hwang and Park. I already called Peyton to give me his Alpha team as body guards. They're already outside somewhere" she said.

"No one's gonna ride with you?" I asked.

"No. I don't trust anyone of them enough" she answered.

"Okay. Be careful" I told her.

"Oh, you can ride with Yeji out of here. Since we don't have any other cars. Or I can send one out if you like. You just have to wait for it for a couple of minutes here" she said.

"Don't worry about that. I'm sure Yeji won't mind" I said.

"Okay. Is she gonna be okay?" she asked then said, "Park, send her to the doctor if needed. You take care of everything. You'll report to me anything important, got it?" she said.

"Copy! Don't worry about us. We're fine. Yeji's fine" Chae said nonchalantly.

"Okay. Babe I gotta go. Inform Hwang about this. I love you" she said before kissing me goodbye.

"Love you. See you later" I said to her.

When my girlfriend was out of sight, I slapped Chaeyoung's head hard.

"Oww! What was that for?" Chae asked shocked.

"You tell me! What really happened with Hwang?? Since you're pretty sure she's fine" I barked at her.

Her eyes turned wide, "What?"

"Don't you dare make up an excuse Park Chaeyoung! I know when you're lying specially when you're keeping something!" I narrowed my eyes and leaned in a dangerous level near her face so I can see clearly every movement of her facial muscles.

She gulped and stuttered, "I.. I uh.. itoldheraboutthetoys" she said the fastest way she can but I still caught it.

Before I can unleash my wrath at her, she ran like her life depends on it. I screamed, "Roseanne Paaaaaaarkkkk! I'm going to shave your head off!!!!"
