''Your contracts have already being transferred to Lin Yan. If you want to stay in this industry you should know who to offend and who not to. Go and apologise to Eunice Gardener'' Luis was doing it to safe his company. He was receiving a lot of pressure from the Song family and Eunice Gardener. These people were prominent people and he didn't want to mess with them. As for Alice, her backer was already dead and he had heard she was having a bad relationship with Mikael Sun, which meant that she was now alone and had no one to fight for her.

''I Alice Jun will never apologise to anyone who bullies me. Luis, my contract with the agency is ending next month, right? I won't extend it anymore.''

''Go ahead and do whatever you want. I won't stop you. You won't get any job again; you can be assured of that. Let's see how you will remain arrogant for long''

''Yes. Let's see just who will have the last laugh. I hope you will remember this day when the time comes'' Alice took her bag and left the room.

Luis followed Alice out and stood by his office door watching her.

''Niania, let's get out of this rotten place''

Niania picked up her bag and followed Alice out. Ana got up from her desk and spoke to Luis.

''Sir, did you really end everything for her?''

''Yes, I always do what I say'' Ana smirked.

.....

The 'MEN'

Josh stood at a corner of inside the counter and watched Alice as she continued drinking a bottle of whiskey. He walked to her and snatched the bottle from her and spoke.

'That's enough, Alice'' he was tired of seeing her in that state. She was someone who was always proud and didn't bow to anyone. But now, seeing her in that helpless state, Josh really wanted to go after all the people that hurt her. she was his princess after all.

Alice looked at him and pouted drunkenly, ''give it back to me. I'm in a very sour mood today''

'What happened? Did someone bully you?'' today the bar was less busy so Josh had time to chat with her. He could do so freely because she didn't know anything about him yet.

Alice looked at him and smiled. She leaned her face closer saying, ''a lot of people think they can bully me. Look at me, do I look like an easy target to bullies?'' She bulged and Josh handed her a glass of water to drink. ''Why are they doing this to me? I am such a kind and lovely person. I don't ask for much. All I want is to be respected but…'' she sipped the water and gave the glass to Josh and noticed he was smiling. ''Oh, you're smiling? What is funny?''

Josh pulled the long chair over and sat on it facing, ''you look cute that's all''

''Cute my a**. Do you have any idea what happened to me these parts few days?'' she asked, throwing her hands in the air.

Josh shook his head. ''No, but, I'm curious to know''

''I was bullied nonstop and nobody came to my rescue. I feel so alone in this big whole world. I don't have anyone. Oops, I have my sister'' she smiled and placed her hand on Josh's shoulder and he froze with reddened ears. 'Do you get paid a lot here?''

Josh took his hand away quickly and responded. ''Why? Do you want to get me a job that pays well?''

Alice smiled before putting her hands on his face and pulled him closer. Josh blushed as he asked her, ''Alice, what are you doing?''

''Checking to see how much your face is worth'' Alice replied and furrowed her brows.

''Huh?''

When Mikael entered the bar and saw them, he smirked and pulled out a chair at a distance and sat down watching them. He found the scene in front of him very entertaining.

''Handsome, so handsome. What is your name?''

Mikael chuckled.

''Josh. My name is Josh''

''Mmm, Josh, do you want to be my toy?''

Josh chuckled before asking, ''what did you just say?''

''I asked if you wanted to be my toy? I will pay you thrice the amount you get here. just in case you didn't know, I have a lot of money and I am single'' Alice whispered into his ears and laughed.

'':…:''

''You don't have to do anything. Watching your face every day is enough to spice up my boring life'' Mikael picked a glass from the side and poured himself some of the whiskey that Alice bought. He took a sip and looked at them interestingly.

''How much do they pay you here? $200, $500? It doesn't matter. Whatever they pay you, I will give you three times the amount if you agree to come with me''

''I'm not being paid'' Josh said and Alice banged her fist on the table angrily.

''What? They don't pay you? tell me, are you being bullied or blackmailed? Where is the owner of this place? I will fight for your rights. How dare he try to swindle you? Hmm…'' Alice sighed and looked at Josh sadly, her eyes turned watery as she spoke, 'I thought I was the only one being bullied, I didn't even know your case was worse than mine'' she started crying.

''Alice, you're drunk. Where is your assistant? Call her to come and send you home''

''My assistant? Niania is sleeping. How dare you tell me to call my assistant when she is sleeping? Do you know how hardworking Niania is? Forget it, you are mine now. Leave this place and go with me. I promise to me you happy. You just have to act like my boyfriend and help me ruin people's happiness with your handsome face. If you are also shameless, that's even better. We can play a couple that will make me want to vomit blood''

'Uh… huh?'' at this point, Josh was confused and speechless.

Alice held Josh's hands and pulled him closer saying, ''quit here and send me home. I will give you $1000 every month''

Josh turned to Mikael helplessly. ''Help me out here man?''

Mikael sighed and walked over to them. He sat by Alice. ''Alice, Alice''

Alice turned and saw him and smiled. ''Oh, is Mikael Sun. Brother!!!'' she hugged him and Mikael shook his head. the few people in the bar were now watching them.

''Alice, let me take you home. Why did you drink so much?''

''Wait'' Alice stopped Mikael and turned to Josh, ''Josh, right. I will be back tomorrow. I will follow you to your boss and make him pay you what you deserve. I may not look like it but, I hate people who abuse their rights and I know how to fight too''

''That's enough or I'm calling Nat''

At the mention of her elder sister's name, Alice smiled obediently and said, ''let's go''

'Take her safely home, Mikael. I owe you''

'Next time, don't let her drink this much. You looked like you were going to say yes to her every request.'' Mikael teased before going out with Alice and Josh smiled.

...…

Natalia stood at a distance watching the door worriedly. Mikael had called her earlier to inform her about Alice so she was anxiously waiting for them. when the door opened and Mikael entered dragging Alice along, she rushed towards them.

''You're going to be the death of me, Alice. Why did you drink so much?''

Alice staggered into Natalie's arms and they both almost feel. Mikael quickly held Natalie back and unknowingly gave her a back hug as he held her from falling. He helped her send Alice to the hall.

Alice leaned on Natalie and chuckled. ''Are you laughing?'' Natalie glared at her as she pulled her cardigan over her shoulders before gathering her hair together and tied it with her hair ban. As she did that, Mikael looked at her and immediately turned away when he saw her neckline leading down to her cleavage. It seemed she was wearing just a light shirt inside the cardigan.

Mikael shook his head and frowned. ''what messy thoughts are you having, Mikael?' he chastised himself.

Alice placed her hands on Natalie's cheeks and pulled her closer, squeezing her cheeks gently while speaking, ''isn't my sister cute when she is angry? Natalie Jun, you look so pretty right now I could turn gay for you''

Natalie couldn't keep angry with her anymore and smiled. Her smile which came from the heart made her face brighter and at that moment, Mikael who was looking at her had to admit that she was indeed a beautiful woman.

''Hey, let go before I get mad. How can a girl be this drunk? What if someone saw you and took a picture of you? Don't you mind your image at all?'' Natalie scolded Alice but the way she was doing it didn't seem like she was scolding her at her.
