While Selene and Eros were enjoying their date, Micaela was plotting to sabotage Selene, revealing her relationship with Eros. She thought by doing this Renz would rely on her more.
Unknown to her, Renz had already seen their scandal video and he was suspecting Micaela as the one who filmed it, sending it to Selene as one way to break them apart.
Selene succeeded in planting the seed of doubt in Renz's mind. This was the only way so that he would be more cautious about Micaela.
Selene and Alexa were still collecting evidence against Micaela. Evidence that could prove that she was plotting revenge against Selene and Renz's family.
Micaela had been calling Renz since yesterday but he was not answering her calls. She wondered what happened to him.
"Is he intentionally avoiding me? But why?" Micaela murmured annoyingly.
Little did she know, Alexa was the one screening her calls so that Renz would not answer it.
Micaela hung up the phone as she decided to drop by his office. She even contacted Arthur, asking about Renz's whereabouts. Then she found out that Renz was indeed in his office.
She made sure to bring afternoon snacks as she visited Renz. Upon arriving at the Star Corp, Micaela proceeded to the floor where Renz's office was located.
Arthur already talked to the staff to let Micaela enter even though she had no appointment with CEO Chou. Of course, he used his connection to help Micaela.
After a while, Renz was surprised when Micaela entered his office after knocking on the door. He was not yet ready to face her. He was still mad at her because of the video.
"Hi, Renz!" Micaela greeted him enthusiastically.
"What are you doing here?" Renz asked her with a deep frown on his face.
Micaela was taken aback by his reaction. It seemed that the cold Renz was back. She could see the displeasure in his eyes.
"I've come to see you. I've been calling you but you are not answering your phone. I thought you had some problems. Am I disturbing you right now?" Micaela tried to sound sad and pitiful to soften Renz's heart.
Renz could only sigh deeply. He couldn't treat her coldly since she was still the one who saved his life. So he tried to be patient with her.
Then Renz decided to confront Micaela about the video. He told his assistant to leave them and not let anyone enter the office for the time being.
When they were left alone, Renz grabbed his phone and sat down on the sofa opposite to Micaela.
"Since you are here, I think this is the right opportunity to talk to you about something."
Micaela looked at Renz with confusion. She didn't know why he looked upset. She just bobbed her head in agreement.
"Tell me. What is this all about?" She said, giving him a questioning gaze.
Renz scanned his phone and showed it to Micaela. She took it, looking at the screen. Her eyes widened upon seeing the video.
"This is our video. Why did you film it? Why did you have to send it to Selene? Are you really planning to break us apart?"
Micaela clenched her fists, cursing Mr. M inwardly.
'How could he leave this evidence behind? Now I need to fix this.'
Micaela pretended that she didn't know about this video. She wanted to deny everything.
"Renz, I have nothing to do with this. I didn't film this video. Believe me. Why would I film myself while doing this? I am also a victim here. I will never send this to Selene. Please believe me."
She looked like she was about to burst and cry. Her acting was good. She was playing as an innocent victim here.
Renz just remained silent, assessing Micaela. He didn't know what to believe in. She even started crying in front of him, asking him to believe her.
"I didn't do this, Renz! Please, listen to me. I don't want to lose my best friend. And besides, I already told you that I would not be a hindrance to both of you and I would stay silent about this."
Renz didn't know whether to believe her and not. She sounded convincing just now.
Little did they know, Alexa was watching them through the spying camera she installed in Renz's office.
She couldn't help but shake her head after seeing how Micaela pretended to be a victim.
"Nice acting. It seems that Renz is gonna fall for it. I have to stop this." Alexa thought to herself.
Without further ado, she alighted from her car that was parked in the front of Star Corp Building.
Before Renz would fall for Micaela's lies, she needed to intervene. She didn't want Micaela to get Renz's sympathy.
Upon reaching Renz's office, she saw his assistant standing on guard at the door. He was there to make sure that no one would enter the room as it looked like his boss was having an important conversation with Micaela.
"Is Mr. Renz Chou inside?" Alexa asked Renz's assistant.
"Yes, Miss. But he is having a conversation with someone right now. You can wait here."
Alexa just flashed her seductive smile before saying, "Sorry, I can't wait. There is something urgent that I need to see Renz right away."
Before the assistant could reply, Alexa pushed him aside and entered the room in an instant. The assistant watched Alexa's back in disbelief.
'Who is this girl? She's strong?! I might get scolded by my boss.' The assistant lamented inwardly before following Alexa behind.
Renz and Micaela were surprised to see someone barging into the room.
Alexa smiled tauntingly at Micaela while lifting an eyebrow. Then she moved her gaze to Renz, slowly approaching him.
"Alexa…" Renz mumbled, looking at her in confusion. He had no idea why she suddenly appeared in his office.
"Hi Babe, let's go out! We need to talk!" Alexa said, making Renz, Micaela, and Renz's assistant speechless.
Alexa immediately grabbed Renz's hand, pulling him up from his seat and dragging him outside his office.
