HOSPITAL
LDR ROOM
Massaging her granddaughter's temple to help her relax with ease and reduce stress, Zhou felt sweet and sour at the same time seeing her granddaughter in an unhelpful state. She knows that in this situation, only the bearer or host gets to suffer alone and that feeling is hurting her. If only she could help her out. The only way to help her out is just to give her words of encouragement.
She's the only one regarded and said to go into the LDR room with her based on given permission from the medical practitioners. While her grandson and granddaughter in-law are busy waiting at the waiting room.
Trying to cool compresses on her neck and face, Zhou encouraged, "I'm here for you. You've got this, my little princess."
"Grandma, I can't. Am losing strength already." Jin-joo screamed. Even though her grandma, the nurses and doctors are encouraging her to push further, she still couldn't eave to that. She has never done this before, how could she possibly know the amount of pains that awaits her?
"Shh, don't say that, my angel. You can do this. I trust in you, Jin-joo." Rubbing her palms, Zhou smiled, "Just keep pushing harder, yes just like that, keep it further."
Slowly lifting her back a bit from the bed, Jin-joo tightened herself and screamed her guts out. Slumping back on the bed, she widened her mouth for inhalation.
"Think of the babies. You're going to be a great mother." One of the nurses said.
"But I'm tired." Jin-joo wailed.
"I know you're tired, but you're doing great. Keep it going." The doctor added.
Rapidly rubbing her palm, Zhou smiled, "You know the sweetest thing my dear? Tonight you're going to be snuggling with your new babies. My great-grandbabies."
After hearing this, Jin-joo pulled up a bit and continue pushing harder with all her might.

Mrs McKinney's office
"Too bad for you, Liam. Your stories, explanation and all, damn you really have a bad history." Helplessly shaking her head, Mrs McKinney sighed, "What a bad hard life for a young man like you who haven't seen the world yet."
Taking a deep breath, Liam remarked, "Please help me, Stella."
Inching her neck back, she raised her eyebrows, "What am I? A pope? Archpriest or an archbishop?"
When Liam buried his face in his palms, she sighed, "Listen, is not like I don't pity you or have sympathy despite all your devilish characters back then in the company but all I can render as a little help right now, is meet one person."
Lifting his head, Liam desperately asked, "Who? Stella, who should I meet, please tell me I need this job urgently. I don't care if brother Sebastian breaks my head or throw me into jail again, all I-"
Raising her eyebrows, Mrs McKinney asked, "Are you going to let me finish?"
Lowering his head, Liam pursed his lips, "Sorry. Please continue."
Taking a deep breath, Mrs McKinney proudly added, "Well, the one person who can absolutely help you to get your job back is the CEO's wife."
"Jin?" When Mrs McKinney nodded her head, Liam feared, "But, she hates me. I was rough towards her. Stella, why are you sending me to people that known me as a bad guy? Jin will surely tell brother Sebastian and he'll find me and kill me. I don't want to die. Like I said, I have a family to look after. So many responsibilities-"
Adjusting her glasses, when Mrs McKinney did not say anything, Liam pleaded, "Some other favour might help."
"That's the only thing I have to say Liam. Is either you accept it and ask for the CEO's resident address or get your ass out before I call the securities." Without waiting for him to say anything, Mrs McKinney took the desk phone and started punching in the buttons.
Vigorously nodding his head, Liam smiled and scratched his head, "No, no, no, it hasn't gotten to that. I'll-- please write down the address."
Inching the phone away from her ear, she raised her eyebrows, "Do you?"
Liam has no choice as they say a mendicant has no choice of his own. He has to accept the only offer given to him. If he rejects it now, he won't get the chance of joining the company anymore.
The money he is been paid back then as an intern in the company is twenty times bigger than Mabel's monthly pay. And now that he heard the system of the company has changed and the digits cents are now twice the pay, just imagine if he gets the chance of coming back. He won't remain broke as he is now.
Anyway, he hopes and wish life doesn't turn him down this time as he is about to taste luck and second chance.
After jotting down the address, Mrs McKinney warmed, "Now you listen to me, Mr boner. Don't go there to mess things up. Speak to the CEO's wife promptly and plummy without bringing in odd conversations." Handing the paper to him, she added, "If you mess things up, and my name is called out with rage of anger the next morning in the CEO's office, I'll make sure to search for you in this world and kill you."
Staring at the paper, Liam sighed in satisfaction and smiled, "Thank you, Stella. I promise and swear never to mess things up. As I earlier said, am a changed person now. Don't worry when I come back to the company, you'll see my new perspectives."
Rolling her eyes, she scoffed, "Whatever, get your ass outta here before someone that is very much close to the two grumpy bosses sees you here."
