Regina got to the office pretty early and as usual, the office was full with the employees going up and down with piles of files in their hands.

It has not been like this for the past four days and she wondered what was happening. She was still in thought when she heard some workers talking.

"Oh! The boss is back... It's a disaster"

"Yeah! We're all going to work extra hours today"

"And he's in a foul mood, I guess a lot of people are going to get fired today"

"Let's get back to work before we get queried for gossiping"

They scurried away and Regina got only more confused. Did they just say the boss is around? She questioned herself. Isn't he supposed to be on a trip or are they mistaking a different person to Hills?.. Probably Colin is in the company on the order of Hills and they might think he's around.

With that thought, Regina didn't want to think about it that much and concluded that Hills is still on his trip. Besides, he's going to inform her when he's coming back.. right?

Regina asked, her voice laced with uncertainty as she examined herself in the mirror.Daphne walked over and gently adjusted a loose strand of Regina's hair. "You look absolutely stunning, Regina.

She realized that she had been so consumed by her new relationship with Hills that she hadn't noticed how sad her best friend had been feeling. Shame washed over Regina as she thought about all the moments she had missed, failing to be there for Daphne during her time of need."Daphne, I'm so sorry," Regina said softly, her voice filled with genuine remorse. "I had no idea you were feeling this way. I've been so caught up in my own happiness that I failed to see the sadness in your eyes. Please forgive me."Daphne looked at Regina, her eyes filled with a mixture of sadness and understanding. "It's alright, Regina," she replied gently. "I know you didn't mean to neglect me. Sometimes life gets in the way, and we don't always notice the pain others are going through. Your happiness matters to you the most, I can't bundle you up in my own situation"Regina felt a pang of compassion for Daphne. She knew firstha

    Daphne sat on her couch, her mind filled with a mix of conflicting emotions. She had chosen to stay home rather than go to her fashion shop, needing some time to herself to process the events of the past week. It seemed as though fate had played a cruel hand, denying her the opportunity to find a boyfriend within the given timeframe.As she stared at the television screen, her thoughts drifted to the impending meeting her father had arranged for her. Tomorrow, she would be introduced to a complete stranger with whom she was expected to form a lifelong partnership. The idea both intrigued and terrified her. How could she possibly commit to someone she had never even met?With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Daphne reached for her comfort food: popcorn and ice cream. As she indulged in the sweet and savory treats, she hoped they would provide solace for her troubled heart.

Curiosity getting the better of him, he cautiously answered the call."Hello?" Hills said, his tone tinged with uncertainty.To his surprise, a familiar voice responded on the other end. "Hey, it's Martina. I'm right outside your house, but your guards won't let me in. Can you please ask them to allow me inside? I just want to talk to you."Hills furrowed his brow, a mix of disbelief and intrigue coursing through him. Why would Martina be at his doorstep unannounced and seeking a conversation?

"It's important, Hills. Please, just give me a few minutes of your time. I

The old man looked at them with curiosity and asked, "What can I do for you folks?"Hills took a step forward and replied, "We're looking for a man named Damon. He used to live here before.
