After their long-hour sale, they clean up and close the shop.
Luna requests to celebrate the success of their sale.
"I think we just reached our highest sale this year, even though Anna caused trouble,"
Luna said while in front of the computer.
"It's because we have an amazing boss."
Laurence said proudly.
"Yup, that's why I chose to work with her."
Luna replied teasingly.
"No, you chose to work with me because I pay you well."
"I mean.. It's not about the money."
After they cleaned the shop, Luna kept on insisting on celebrating their success with Nayla.
"I'm sorry, but I have important things to do, but I owe you this one, I promise that next time we'll celebrate today's success."
Luna smiles weirdly because Nayla owes her, and she'll plan where to use it.
"Okay, fine, since you promise, you can go now, I'll let you go for now."
Luna said while pretending to be sultry.
"Thank you for understanding. Laurence, you did well today. It's good that you're catching up even though there's unexpected pressure today."
"It's also because of your precise command that we made it through the day."
"It's not just because of me, it's because I have an Ace Team. I would love to stay and chat more, but I have to go. See you guys tomorrow."
She's about to leave, but Laurence stops her.
"I'm going in the same direction, so let's walk together."
Nayla is wondering why, but she brushes it off.
"Ohh okay then."
They both left Luna alone.
"Did they just leave me here alone? Wow."
While Laurence and Nayla are walking, he notices that Nayla has not been eating anything since the morning of the opening, so they stop at the convenience store.
"Can you wait for me for a couple of minutes? I'm just gonna buy something."
"Okay, I'll wait for you here."
After a couple of minutes of waiting for Laurence, he handed her a sandwich and an onigiri.
She wondered why he gave it to her.
"You still haven't eaten since morning, it's bad for your health."
Laurence said with a worried look.
"It's okay, I'm used to not eating so much since I'm also fasting."
"Why? You don't even need to lose weight. You're already pretty."
After Laurence said that, an awkward silence followed.
"Ahh.. Ha.. Ha.. that's a good joke."
"It's not a joke, I mean it."
Laurence said in a serious tone, while Nayla couldn't help but shookt.
After walking that seems to be an hour, they arrived near Nayla's Apartment, so she said her goodbye.
"My apartment is near here, so I'll go this way."
"Alright, good night, and I'll see you tomorrow."
"Thank you for getting me food, good night as well."
She turned around and walked to her home, but Laurence hid in the corner and watched as she entered her apartment building safely.
She looked at the remaining mess, which was still unknown how it happened.
While she was cleaning, she realized something.
'Did Serlina do this? If I woke up in her body, there's a possibility that she'll wake up in my body.'
'But I don't know why she has to trash my apartment, which is strange.'
'It could be someone broke in as well, a professional one, but nothing has been stolen..'
Nayla is contemplating whether she should call the police, but since nothing has been stolen or missing, she decides not to.
After cleaning, she lists the names of the people she had interacted with as Serlina. Who's the person she could ask for help, the person she's having trust issues with, and the person who hates her?
She's planning to take over their family business and identify her brother's weaknesses or hidden secrets. Since it's hard to find evidence that her brother tortures Sophia, it'll be hard for her to convict him of his crime. She wants to find Sophia to know if she's safe and to talk to her if she wants to testify against her brother.
After a long night of planning, she fell asleep at her table again.
She woke up as Serlina again, but this time, the ambiance was unfamiliar to her. As she adjusted her vision, she saw Aizen sleeping next to her. He looked like he had fallen asleep while checking up on her.
'I came back here again, but I don't remember how I got here'
'But most importantly, how am I supposed to move without waking him up?'
She's about to move quietly, but she fails because she still woke Aizen up.
As he gently scratches his eyes, he asks her,
"Finally, you're awake. How are you?"
She didn't hear what he said because she got distracted by his handsomeness.
"Wh- What? What did you say?"
"It seems like you have a problem with your hearing. I'll have the doctor check on you"
He stands up and is about to walk out the door, but she stops him.
"No! I'm perfectly fine. I don't have much memory from last night, but I'm okay now."
"If you don't want the doctor to check you, then I should, just to confirm."
He moves closer to her, to the point that he can feel her nervousness and strong heartbeat. He places his right hand on her forehead to see if she has a fever because her skin tone is turning red, but little does he know it's because of her uncontrollable feelings toward him.
She pushes him away due to embarrassment and says,
"I said I'm fine, you don't have to confirm anything, I'll just tell you if I'm feeling unwell."
"Alright, then I'll leave you, for now, to prepare breakfast. I shall join you later after I send a letter to your brother to inform him that you're fine."
He calls for his maid to assist Serlina with her bath, and he also requests the finest and most comfortable dress for her to wear.
As she's taking a bath, she's stunned by how classy the bathroom is.
'Wow, even the bathroom is full of gold.'
After taking a bath, the maids assist her in wearing a glamorous dress.
'Is this even a casual dress?! Like the one I have at our mansion? It's like a high-quality fabric, and it's not even suffocating to wear.'
When she finished dressing up, she went straight ahead to the dining room and saw Aizen waiting for her to arrive.
Aizen was gazing at her with an astonished look on his face.
