Inside of the office on the third floor of the building next to the Su Financial Bank, Amy Bing was sitting behind her desk, with her name hanging at the door.
She occupied the third floor and had her assistant outside while she does the therapy in her office.
She's only thirty-five but thanks to her parent's connection and having a husband as the new military General, she was able to put her name at the top for being the best therapist in the country.
She has a two-year old kid, while her husband was three years younger than her.
In her office which has a calm and soothing ambiance, Amy lifted a hand and massaged her temple as she stared at the resignation of her assistant from last week.
Thankfully, she found a part-time girl who was eager to start immediately.
A knock on the door sounded, Amy got up and opened it and as she did a woman with a petite body wearing casual jeans and shirt was standing in front of her with a faint shy smile on her thin lips.
"Hi, you must be my new assistant," she said with a smile.
The girl nodded and stretched as hand, "yes, my name is Novie McSalter."
Amy accepted her hand and turned around, "take a sit," she said and took the folder she has on her table.
Her new assistant sat down on the three-seater couch that was usually occupied by her patients, while she sat on her chair opposite of Novie and smiled.
Her hand moved to give her the folder.
"I will be straight to you Ms.McSalter," she paused to take a breath, "my last assistant resigned after she got scolded by one of my patients," and then she smiled, "he's a difficult one and rarely visited me here."
She watched as Novie opened the folder, "his name is Ken Chu. When he comes by, I will need you to not look at him. He has issues with women so when he's around you will have to act busy and pretend that he's not here," she got up, walked towards the window and crossed her arms as she halted.
"Would you still take the job?"
When Amy turned around, she found the girl looking at her with confusion, "would he hurt me if I look or speak to him?"
Amy didn't want to lie to her, she did it to her previous assistant that's why she's in this situation.
"he threw a vase to my last assistant, so better avoid him when he's around."

At the Su Villa.
Lying on the couch at the Su Villa, Matthew had his eyes glued at the television.
His mind was at peace despite having Daniella and Selena in front of him sitting down on the floor and fighting over the girl's homework.
"How many times do I need to tell you to focus on what your teacher was teaching and not on his face!" Daniella barked at the pouting Selena.
"Come on, you have seen him, he's really cute!"
Matthew sneered as he watched Daniella rolled her round eyes on Selena.
"Do you think you can use his face as an answer to your upcoming test!" Daniella roared once again.
"Don't worry. I am not the only one who's crushing on him, every girl in the room-" Selena was cut out when Daniella suddenly slapped the back of her head causing her forehead to smash on the table.
It was a light slap and Selena was used to it.
"I am going to explain this to you again," Daniella turned the previous page of the book on the table, "If you still don't get it, I will have your history teacher fired!"
Shaking his head, Matthew got up, he could see the fear sweeping over Selena's face from Daniella's threat.
After listening to Daniella as she explained the topic to Selena, Matthew called her name, "Ella, get me more popcorn," he ordered, handing the empty bowl to Daniella.
To his surprise, Daniella got up, took the bowl and came back with popcorn in it.
'Whoa! Is it the end of the world?' He thought as he accepted the bowl.
Daniella sat down on the end of the couch he was sitting on; he slouched his body and carefully lay his legs on Daniella's stomach after she laid down and squeezed herself in the small space between him and the couch.
Since then the living room became quiet.
-
Evan had just entered the living room when he found Selena on the floor with head glued at the book on the coffee table while Matthew and Daniella were laying on the couch with feet on each other's stomach.
He massaged a hand on his temple, he could already see what will happen soon.
He walked closer to them and stopped when he reached the couch, he bent and moved his face closer to Daniella when suddenly Matthew's foot lifted in the air in between them, stopping him from getting closer.
Daniella rose a bow and immediately kicked Matthew, "you ungrateful fool! I got your popcorn and this is how you're going to repay me," she exclaimed while her feet switched on hitting Matthew's chest.
Matthew didn't have a choice than to retreat, he sat up but decided to take one last revenge with that, he quickly used his toe thumb to tickle her side and as he did Daniella's laugh vibrated in the living room.
He chuckled and even poke her side deeper, as he was about to stop, Daniella fell to the ground, her face was smashed on the floor.
The living room suddenly became quiet, even the maids who were busy cleaning the living room had stopped to look at them.
Daniella sat up; she could feel the pain throbbing her nose when she fell from the couch.
And instead of getting her revenge on Matthew, she turned to Evan who was looking at her with a flat face.
When she felt a liquid running down from her nose, Daniella ran her thumb above her mouth. She looked at it and found the blood stained on her finger.
She didn't make a sound but her lips were itching to smile as she watched Matthew jumped out of the couch and ran outside like he was being chased by a demon.
"Is it painful?" Daniella shifted her sight from the door to Evan and found him sitting on the couch in front of her.
She nodded and sat on his lap, "yeah…" then she smiled, watched as he took the handkerchief from his pocket and cleaned her blood.
"Were you always like that around Matthew?" he asked.
She gave him a half shrug, "hmm…" she took in a deep sigh, trying to remember her life with Matthew back in London, "I guess its worst before," saying that her eyes suddenly blazed with anger, "you should have seen when he locked me up in my room with almost three dozen of mouse on the floor, they ate my slippers!" her jaw gnashed while her body stiffened with anger.
Evan laughed, not by her story but to her face reddening in anger.
Despite the little blood stained on her cheek from when she wiped it, Evan planted a small kiss on it.
"I will get change," he got up while Daniella sat back next to Selena.
When Evan disappeared, Selena discreetly peeked a glance at Daniella. Just the view earlier has made her heart warmed, suddenly the villa became colorful and lively in her eyes.
"Do you love my uncle?" Selena asked Daniella as the woman checked her homework.
Shifting her sight from the paper to Selena, Daniella smiled, "yes I do."
Selena nodded twice, "he loves you too," she said.
And with that, Daniella's smile widened, "what's not to love? I am perfect Darling," she replied boastfully.
