Alveena agreed on meeting Zhen-Zhen Sophia and Bianca. Fortunately, Sophia and Zhen-Zhen had an early class dismissal during their afternoon class.

Zhen-Zhen informed Tristan that they would be meeting Alveena so Matthew and Tristan would not need to pick them up at the University of Imperial Knight.

Alveena left Sy Corp at around 4:00 pm. She headed straight to the University of Imperial Knight to fetch the three ladies. She brought her own car this time.

After picking up the ladies, they proceeded to a restaurant nearby. They chose a private booth wherein they could talk all they wanted without worrying about others overhearing their conversation.

Alveena was wearing her corporate attire. Her aura seemed different from the happy-go-lucky Alveena that they knew because of her clothes.

"Hey, Ladies! Don't give me such a weird look. I am still Alveena, your talkative noisy friend and sister," Alveena said, cracking some jokes to lighten the atmosphere.

Zhen-Zhen and Sophia giggled upon hearing that while Bianca just smiled at them. Soon, the four ladies settled down inside the private booth. The waiter also came to get their orders.

"Sis, Alvee, we missed you. We thought something bad had happened to you since you suddenly disappeared without saying a word to your boss." Sophia softly said, hooking her arm around Alveena's hand.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you worry about me." Alveena apologized right away.

"I'm glad to see you, sis Alvee! I and Little Davis missed you," Zhen-Zhen also expressed her feelings.

"Oh, I feel so touched that my dearest Sophia, my goddess Lillie, and her baby had missed me!" Alveena said cheerfully. She was really fond of Sophia and Lillie.

"How about you Bianca?" She turned to Bianca and shamelessly asked her.

Bianca: "???"

'Eh, why me? Should I also respond to her?' Bianca was caught off guard by Alveena's out-of-the-blue question.

"Haha, forget it. I am just kidding, Bianca! No need to feel awkward."  It turned out Alveena was just teasing her.

"So tell us, what happened in your love confession. I'm dying to know already!" Sophia brought up the topic of Alveena's confession. She was excited to hear her response.

"It was a total wreck. I failed miserably and I felt really embarrassed." Alveena forced herself to smile and pretended that she was fine.

She just masked her pain with soft giggles but Zhen-Zhen could feel that she was sad and hurt.

"Why?" Sophia probed.

"He is already engaged…" Alveena responded with a smile on her face. "I even met his fiancee…" she added.

Zhen-Zhen: "..."

Sophia: "..."

Bianca: "..."

There was a moment of silence after Alveena answered Sophia's question. They knew that it must have been hard on Alveena.

The silence was disrupted when the waiter arrived, bringing their food.

Alveena was back on her bubbly attitude as she asked the three ladies to start eating.

"Since I got a new job, today's bill is on me! Come, let's eat!"

Bianca and Sophia nodded their heads. Since they didn't know what to say nor how to comfort her, they just decided to end the topic.

They tried to hold their curiosity about the identity of the guy because Alveena didn't mention his name.

Zhen-Zhen, on the other hand, was just staring at Alveena with complicated emotions on her face. She was thinking about something. She seemed to have an idea about the guy.

'Was the guy to whom Alveena confessed her feelings none  other than Andrew?' Zhen-Zhen asked herself.

Zhen-Zhen tried to connect the events from the past. Alveena had been with Andrew for the past month. They were always together even when Andrew went overseas to fix the problem of the branch.

During the Centennial Year Celebration of the City of Empire, she also noticed the closeness between Andrew and Alveena. They suddenly disappeared when the fireworks display started.

Zhen-Zhen could also connect Alveena's last statement with Andrew. He was engaged and Hannah also appeared that night. With that, Zhen-Zhen assumed that Alveena was referring to Hannah when she said she met his fiancee.

Furthermore, Zhen-Zhen remembered how Andrew asked her about Alveena's whereabouts. He looked anxious and worried at that time when he didn't see Alveena inside the venue.

'The guy whom she likes must be Andrew…' Zhen-Zhen mumbled to herself. She glanced at Alveena worriedly.

She didn't know if Andrew also felt something for Alveena but she was aware of how Andrew loved Hannah. But she also knew the fact that Hannah tried to cheat on Andrew by seducing Tristan just a few weeks ago.

'Is hiding the truth from Andrew about Hannah's action the right choice? But I can't tell this now to Andrew just because I learned that Alveena liked her. What if this will create another tension and conflict between the two brothers?' Zhen-Zhen was put in a dilemma.

When Alveena went to the lady's comfort room, Zhen-Zhen decided to follow her. She wanted to confirm something with Alveena.

The two of them were the only people inside the comfort room so it was good timing to ask Alveena a very personal question.

"Alvee…"

"Oh, yes, Lillie?"

"Can I ask you something?" There was a hint of worry in her eyes. Zhen-Zhen was afraid that this question might offend or hurt Alveena's feelings.

"Hmm, sure. Just tell me, Lillie," Alveena promptly responded with a smile, reassuring her that it was fine to ask her anything.

"The person you like… is he Andrew?"

Alveena was dumbfounded for a moment. She didn't expect that Zhen-Zhen would know it. After she recovered from the shock, Alveena decided to admit the truth.

"Yes, he is. I'm sorry. How did you know that it's him?" Alveena asked her inquisitively. There was amusement in her eyes.

Zhen-Zhen explained to her everything on how she connected the dots and found out that it was Andrew.

"You don't have to apologize. You are not at fault here. You just love someone." Zhen-Zhen held her hands, comforting Alveena.

"What did he say to you after you confessed?"

Alveena shook her head. "I didn't get his response since his fiancee arrived thus interrupting us."

"It's my fault. I should have asked him first. I didn't know he was already committed. It's so embarrassing," Alveena finally opened up to Zhen-Zhen.

"When his fiancee arrived, I felt like the third wheel who was trying to ruin their relationship. I didn't mean to do that. I don't want to ruin someone's relationship."

"If I had known it sooner, I should have stopped myself from confessing my feelings. Believe me, Lillie. I didn't plan on ruining your brother-in-law's relationship with his fiancee," Alveena said desperately.

Zhen-Zhen nodded her head. "I know. I believe you. No need to explain to me, Alveena."

"But I want to say that you and Andrew must talk this out. You should also hear his response and have closure. Don't avoid each other like this."

Zhen-Zhen was now aware of why Alveena suddenly stopped reporting to Heavenly Star. She might be avoiding Andrew. Tristan mentioned to her that Alveena didn't even say goodbye to Andrew.

Alveena nodded her head and said, "Yes, I know. I can't avoid him forever."

"I know you can do this Alveena." Zhen-Zhen gave her a warm hug.

She was also sad for Alveena. She knew that Alveena was hurting right now. She was heartbroken because of Andrew.

Zhen-Zhen left the comfort room first. She let Alveena gather her emotions. She knew she was still having a hard time right now.

After a few minutes, Alveena finally came out of the comfort room. But to her surprise, she saw someone waiting for her outside. It was Andrew.

'What the hell is he doing here?'
