More tension and confrontation

Soon after Ayu and Lina had left to go to Dr. Hayama's clinic, Shen had called home to check on Lina's health again. Her text a while back was cold and unresponsive. 

The entire period of their misunderstandings after the argument had taken a toll on his stress levels. Even though he didn't show it to Lina directly, his thoughts were filled with her even whilst working. 

The unpleasant nature of his dinner at the Lim household, with that woman Lila's company being forced upon him had made him very agitated. 

Besides, the renewal contract they offered him was beyond unreasonable and went against the interests of the Moshi Corporation. 

Yet, he could not reject them outright, especially with the marriage offer on the table. He must let them down gently while at the same time, making it clear that he already had a wife.
