"Wow.. she is like a princess from fairytales" some group of worker whispers among themselves to Lucy it was a normal thing but she can't let people slake from work.
"what are you guys whispering about?...do you guys know that it not part of your jobs"
"We are sorry mam" the workers replied in unison as they rushed back to work.

Lucy comes to the family house to give her gift to her little sister, she then sees everyone in the living room and all eyes go to her when she enters, Mrs Jacob rushes to her and drags to the seat facing the visitor (Simon).
Mrs Jacob introduces Simon to Lucy and Lucy to Simon, they both stand up to shake hands. Lucy and Simon give a confused look.
"This is not who I am supposed to get engaged to, it is Mia not Lucy" Simon wonders trying to make sense of the situation.
Lucy on the other end also wonders why everyone is treating her softly and why she's sitting at the front of her little sister's fiance. Mrs Jacob sees the tension in the air, trying to ease the tension by telling her maids to serve food to the visitor (Simon).Mr Jacob went ahead and introduced Lucy as Simon's fiancée and also introduced Simon as Lucy's fiance. They were both stunned wondering if they heard correctly. Mrs Jacob then explains the change and why it happened and also lies about trying to make connections between the two CEOs and Lucy needs to marry Simon to become the heiress to the Jacobs family.
Lucy agrees without any provocation and everyone applauds and congratulates her. Mrs Jacob thinks her false claim of Lucy becoming the heiress after getting married to Simon has work but Lucy knows more than anyone that it's going to be Mia handling the company from now onwards, so she decides to stay in a place where no one can control her. They both have one condition not to share the engagement news with the public. Mr Jacob agrees thinking they don't really like eachother but just have to go along with it.
After everything has been settled, Mrs Jacob orders her maid to pack Lucy things out of her room and it should be given to the Simon's butler who takes it with care and Lucy is taken to live with Simon.
