Ashley and Tiny were preparing to leave when butler Ruffy arrived. Inday was standing next to her lady boss. While Tiny was outside already by the vehicle with the back seat door wide open.
"We're leaving Uncle Ruffy! is everything taken care of?" Shouted Ashley when she saw butler Ruffy coming out of the kitchen. Inday right behind her carrying her things to be taken to the car.
Ashley motioned to Inday to go ahead so she could bid butler Ruffy goodbye. Inday complies and swiftly went out to the car where Tiny was waiting.
A moment later, they were on the way to THJ Group Headquarters, where the trouble is awaiting.
===
Ashley and Tiny arrived at the THJ Group parking lot without delay. Since it was still early and Tiny was sure that the big shots weren't there yet, he decided that it was best to drive the car to the garage parking lot and let Ashley enter the building from there. Away from the prying eyes of the THJ Group employees.
"Are you sure no one will see us?" Ashley said worriedly.
"I'm sure, ma'am! It's late when the bosses come in. Also, they don't come down here to the garage parking lot, they always drop them off in the front. Only the drivers come down here to park the vehicle." Explained Tiny in a way to make Ashley feel at ease to come out of the vehicle.
Unbeknownst to both that, Kai and Ohani had just stepped out of the vehicle. They have an early meeting about the new product that Ohani will endorse. Therefore,-
Ohani's eyes widened as she saw Ashley stepped out of Tanaga's car. "Kai! Kai! Look!" She exclaims while pointing at the direction where Tiny was helping Ashley out of the vehicle...
Kai turned around and followed gaze to where Ohani's finger was pointing. His eyes widened in disbelief. "Well, well, well!" He mumbles with a smirk on his lips.
"Kai! Kai! Do you see what I'm seeing? Isn't that Tanaga's assistant? Why is she getting out of his car?" Asked Ohani as her eyes widened in bewilderment that Tanaga's head bodyguard was acting chauffeur to his assistant.
Kai quickly turned his attention to where Ohani was looking. It was just the right time that Ashley was stepping out of the vehicle with Tiny's guidance. The two have no idea that they have an audience, and they saw the whole thing.
Ohani was shooting daggers at Ashley, and it seems that she's contemplating if she should approach them. Kai was aware of Ohani's plan, so he quickly stopped her. "Let's watch first!"
"Be careful!" Tiny said as he helps Ashley, who's wearing high heels.
"Thanks, brother Tiny! Go ahead, someone might see us." Said Ashley as she started to walk toward the elevator. Since the car was parked right by the elevator, she was able to quickly enter without seeing Kai and Ohani fully engrossed with their intent to listen and watch.
Kai had parked his vehicle quite a distance from where Tiny and Ashle. So they didn't hear the two talking, especially when Tiny called Ashley,- ma'am!
Ohani began approaching Tiny with a murderous look plastered in her face. She needed to get to the bottom of this and find out why is that girl was receiving special treatment. She was walking with determination; she will need to catch up to Tiny so she could interrogate him.
Kai quickly shut the car door and followed Ohani, calling Tiny's name as they approach him.
"Mr. Tiny! Mr. Tiny! Wait up! "Kai called rushing off towards Tiny intending to ask him a question. He saw that Tiny's carrying a box that looks like a bento, and about to enter the elevator. He got curious the more.
'Oh' shit! Did they see ma'am Ashley? I hope not; I need to think of a good reason when they ask me why ma'am Ashley is with me.' Tiny thought as Kai and Ohani approached.
"President Hanada! Good morning! What can I do for you? "Tiny asked softly as he looked at them with a straight face.
"Tiny, that woman we just saw getting out of the car ... Isn't that Miss Gusman who's the assistant to CEO Jones? "Kai asked simply not to let Tiny know that he was curious about her relationship with his cousin.
" Ah! Yes! That's Miss Gusman. Sir Jones had ordered me that while he was away, take care of her to earn my keep." Said Tiny nonchalant. He didn't elaborate anymore and continued walking towards the elevator. There was nothing Ohani nor Kai could do but to follow along. When it suddenly dawned to Kai what he just heard.
"Did I hear you correctly? You said that Tanaga is out of the country? Where did he go?" His eyes were beaming with curiosity. So as Ohani, she's excited to find out where Tanaga had gone.
She's planning on following where ever that might be since his assistant did not accompany him. It's a chance she doesn't want to waste.
"Sorry, President Hanada, I can't tell you where sir Jones is. Against the protocol. Anyway, if you'll, please excuse me! I have to follow my charge." Tiny said as he swiftly turned around and walked toward the elevator without looking back if they follow him.
Kai was still talking, but it was too late because Tiny was walking so fast as if the devil was chasing him.
They hurriedly followed Tiny to the elevator, but he quickly pressed the closed button as soon as he enters, preventing the follower from joining him. It was too late for Kai and Ohani. By the time they reach the elevator, it was closed already. They were forced to use another one.
"What do you think that girl and Tanaga's true relationship?" Kai asked Ohani nonchalantly.
Ohani was in deep thought, and she didn't like Kai's question. Therefore, when she replied-
"I and I !" Shouted Ohani while staring at the ceiling. Too many things were running through her mind at the moment. She could care less for all it matter...
