"Lina, Mr. Hitoshi is here for you." Lina heard Leon's words and hurriedly typed the last words on the Tab before she shut it down.

She looked up and smiled at the Hitoshi family members who had come right on time.

She reached them and bowed to Mr. Hitoshi and Uncle Mitsuo. Turning towards Nao, she messed up his hair and received a growl from him.

Finally, she faced Aya and teasingly wiggled her brows. Aya instantly turned beet red and avoided her eyes.

'OH MY GOD! Did they do it last night!?' Lina jumped excitedly in her mind but on the outside she just nodded.

If her mother was here to hear her crude language, then she would definitely be bestowed with a hard knuckle on her head.

"If you could please follow me." She imitated a tour guide and winked at Leon.

He chuckled and followed them outside. Then he returned to his desk to finish his work and to keep an eye on the sweaty and nervous Wendy Qin.

Lina locked her room and gestured for them to follow.

She led them to the 20th floor, the floor specifically reserved for LY and his team.

From the establishment of Obsidia in the country two years ago, this floor was left untouched because not once did LY or his team grace the building with their presence.

But here they were, all ready to start their work for the auction.

The elevator door opened to a hallway, at the end of which was a big red door.

"Spooky!" Nao held Aya's hands and followed after them.

The door had a conventional lock and key system and also a fingerprint scanner.

She gave the main key of the door to Mr. Hitoshi and fed the system with the four members' fingerprints.

They then entered the door and everyone gasped.

This was Lina's first time seeing the place so she was also equally surprised.

This place gave off the same vibe as when Lina stayed in Mr. Hitoshi's ancestral house to try and convince him to join her company.

The instruments, the workspace, the interiors all made them feel at home.

'Wade must have done this!' Lina decided to bake something nice for him as her token of appreciation.

"That boy is very thoughtful." Mr. Hitoshi stroked his beard and commented.

When he saw Lina's shocked face, he understood that this must have been the work of Wade.

Lina nodded and dragged him to his new workspace.

His was a more traditional craftsman workstation compared to Nao's high-tech machinery.

Nao liked experimenting with new ways to cut and polish the stone so Wade had happily bought him new equipment, because it was Lina's money he was spending after all.

Aya was in charge of fitting the stones onto the jewelry. Though it seems like an easy job, it was quite hard to do.

This 20th floor even had a top portion, technically the 21st floor. But, the only way to access that floor was through the door they had just entered.

Even the elevator had no button for the 21st floor because it was the most secure and secretive room.

This was where they stored the jewelry in Obsidia and also LY's legendary workspace, that only the VP had ever seen before. This was obviously for security purposes.

After showing them around, she called Wade and asked him to get them all set up to start their work.

The consignment of stones that they had brought along when they arrived in the country and their main equipment had been kept safely in Wade's office. It just needed to be moved over to this floor.

After explaining about the floor plan and other basic things, Lina bid them goodbye.

"You can have your lunch with Wade for today and from tomorrow you can choose to eat wherever you are comfortable." She yelled as she walked out the door.

---

Lina did not go back to her floor but pressed the 18th floor's button.

The door quickly opened and she was greeted with interns and Manager Tim rushing about in a panic.

'Did I miss the earthquake warning?' She chuckled as she stepped towards one of them.

Tapping on the petite blonde's shoulders, Lina successfully got her attention.

"What's going on? Are you guys playing some new game?" She cheerfully asked and the blonde's eyes widened.

"Miss fairy! Please save us!" She held onto Lina's hands and pleaded.

"Calm down, tell me what happened?" Lina frowned when she saw her terrified face.

"Boss… Bos-" Her words couldn't continue because of someone else's loud shouts.

"Who do you think you are? Are even worthy of being compared to her? All you ever do is laze around and run your big mouth!" The loud voice screamed in anger and Lina had to cover her ears to shield them from this furious attack.

When she peeped to see who it was, she was shocked to see that the cute little puppy she knew was roaring ferociously.

'Steph?' Lina was dumbfounded to see him this angry.

He seemed to be yelling at that woman who had spoken rudely to her when she came to meet Steph the last time.

'What was her name? Viola? Vivian? Yes, Vivian!' She recalled.

Seeing that the woman was already trembling in fear, Lina quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Don't take another step forward. Just leave!" Stephen Jin commanded when he heard the sounds of heels clicking on the floor.

He spoke without even looking up so he missed the look of surprise on Lina's face.

"Fine, I just thought you'd be happy to see your Noona." Lina dejectedly turned away from him and started walking back to the elevator.

"Noona?" Steph had heard her soft murmurs and he whiplashed in her direction.

'It really is her!' Steph rushed towards her and hugged her from behind.

"Noona, don't go! I'm sorry I thought you were some other woman trying to bother me." He complained and nuzzled his head on her shoulders.

'What exactly happened that made this puppy transform into that vicious lion from earlier?' Lina gently patted his hands that were around her and he let her go.

"Are you free now?" She looked at Manager Tim, the interns and that Vivian woman who was now crying silently.

"Of course, Noona. Come on!" He happily dragged her to his room.

The others who had been frozen in their places finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss fairy can calm the Little Demon down instantly!" The blonde woman cheered as she looked at his door.

Vivian glared at the blonde and harrumphed.

"Who knows what she's doing behind that door? Did you forget about that video from this morning?" She questioned her colleagues.

"You never learn, do you? Keep talking like that and see if you'll still have a job." Manager Tim was frustrated when he heard her words.

Everyone remembered how quickly the entire page was deleted and the warning message that Lina had sent.

They were lucky that they did not comment on that post because they knew that their boss would skin them alive if they did.

But not everyone was this smart or lucky. When Steph had arrived at the office, the first thing he heard was Vivian badmouthing Lina because of the video.

He confronted them and forced everyone to spill about what had happened. Then he went ballistic when he heard the details of what had occurred in his absence and that was when Lina had arrived to save them.

'A whore is a whore no matter what you call her.' Vivian scowled at Steph's closed door and brushed away Manager Tim's warnings.

----

"Now tell me what made you that angry?" Lina seriously questioned the puppy who sat before her with his ears drooping.

"No use of acting cute, spill it!" She commanded in a stern voice.

Seeing no way out from this situation, Steph explained why he was so mad at his subordinates.

"How can that woman say that about you? And that video! Good thing I did not see it or else I do not know what I would do!" Steph's blood boiled when he thought of what Manager Tim and the others had reluctantly spoken.

"I have it on my phone. Wanna watch?" Lina passed him the phone and he blankly stared at her.

'Why was I expecting Noona to be crying in some corner? Noona is one weird human!' Steph chuckled.

"And that was just Wayne, Wade's twin brother. So you don't have to be so angry about some nonsense that was spread online." She revealed and gave him some carefree advice.

"But that is not why I am here. Can you do me a favor?" She pleaded with him with her best version of puppy eyes.

Steph chuckled and nodded his head.

"Please design an evening party gown for me!" She joined her hands and bowed her head as she pleaded.

Steph was shocked when he saw her actions.

'She could have just commanded me to do whatever she wanted because she's the VP's sister. But she would rather humbly plead than order me around, Noona is so nice!' His 'MY_NOONA_IS_THE_BEST' marathon began once again.

"So? Will you do it?" She looked up when she did not hear anything from him.
