Shuji just looked at his sister who was talking to his fellow models.
"The girl with you is having a nosebleed, Shuji English speaking.." one of his fellow models said and he just laughed.
"Haha! That's really how it is with new acquaintances." Shuji replied, he just cheered.
"Does she know how to sing?" his fellow model asked.
"You should talk to her, haha..." Shuji replied with a smile and followed his sister with his eyes.
"I'm just going to the restroom, Shuji can I take one of you to join me, girls?" Miku said to the models she was talking to.
"Me, I can join you!" one of the models called with a raised hand.
"Thanks, hurry, my bladder is about to explode!" Miku replied and pulled the one who raised his hand to follow immediately because he understood it.
"She drinks a lot, doesn't she get drunk right away?" Hyo said next to Shuji and followed him with his eyes.
"No!" Shuji answered and reached for the bottle he was holding.
"I'm wondering, bro, why did you break up with my cousin, she doesn't speak when I ask her, do you have someone else?" Hyo asked Shuji turned around he didn't speak.
Hyo just stared at Shuji and frowned when he didn't talk to him.
After a few hours, they said goodbye to go home. Akatsuki supports Hyo because he got too drunk. Shuji held his sister's waist and they walked to the parking lot where their car was parked.
The next day, Lixue woke up and then. She cooked what she would eat for lunch before, put it on the table, and ate in the dining area.
Lixue heard the sound of the doorbell. She immediately stood up and peeked at the monitor.
"Who are you?" Lixue asked as she pressed something on the monitor so she could hear the person who was going to speak standing outside her condo.
"Cap, this is agent 5, I found out the exact location of Don Emilio's mansion, do you know that it is near your former mansion in Palawan." Agent 5 said softly as Lixue opened the door.
Lixue looked around before letting Agent Five inside.
"Alexander, you even bothered yourself to come to see me, well no one followed you," Lixue said and offered him to eat.
"It's okay, it's Zander, cap." Zander/agent 5 answered.
"You mean, Don Emilio's mansion in Palawan is almost our neighbor?" Lixue asked as she made him some coffee.
"Yes, I looked for you in your office when I found out that agent one mentioned that you were leaving today I was just on my way." Zander/Agent Five said.
"That's right! I'm just going to eat and pack before I go to the airport, thanks for telling me." Lixue said, she just smiled.
Zander just nodded, and they ate at the dining table.
"I'll take you to the airport, cap." offered and Zander/Agent Five said to her.
"Sure, just watch there, I'll just pack and take a shower," Lixue said before leaving her.
When Lixue entered her room. She first sat on her bed and took the laptop. She opened the site she just opened and she opened it to a map.
"Gotcha! You guys are my neighbors in Palawan, I'll go to America first." Lixue smiled to herself.
She packed her things to take with her first. Before she entered the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out of her room. She saw her co-agent sleeping on the sofa.
"Hmm.." growled Zander/Agent Five.
"Let's go, I'm going to be late for my flight," Lixue said that it was close to her.
He woke up and apologized because he fell asleep on the sofa.
"It's fine, when you drop me off at the airport, go home right away and rest first," Lixue said and walked out of her condo.
Lixue texted her father, godfather Raiden, and Shuji.

On the other side, Shuji woke up and immediately took the cellphone to see, if there was a message from Lixue.

Shuji smiled and kissed his cellphone in happiness. He got up and stood up quickly when he saw on the cellphone that he was caught awake.

Shuji took a shower and when he finished, he left the room and hurried down the stairs.
"Kyodai!" Miku called her brother when she saw him.
(Brother!)
"—Shuppatsu shimasu, Hoteru de no shashin satsuei ni okuremasu," Shuji shouted as he raised his hand and ran out of their house.
(—I'm leaving, I'm late for our photoshoot at the hotel,)
Shuji immediately got into the car and drove out of their house. He went to the hotel in a hurry and the MMDA officer almost saw him.
When he arrived at the hotel, he parked the car in the parking lot before rushing inside the hotel.
"Finally!" the gay manager said with the approach to Shuji when he saw this.
"—Sorry, manager." Shuji gasped as he opened the event hall where the fashion show would be held.
"The fashion show is next week, celebrities from two famous networks will join you on the rampage." the gay manager said to them all.
"Yes!" the female models shouted while the male models frowned.
"On Saturday all the celebrities will be here and we will be here early at 8:00am call time because the call time for celebrities is 1:00pm we can still practice here there will be a fashion designer who will watch you." the gay manager said a reminder to everyone.
"Manager, how is Leatrice? She was just here, she wasn't at our fashion show." one model said the other model agreed.
"The reason for her not attending the fashion show was due to an emergency, she should have participated on April 9, in case...it caused her to come back here." the gay manager replied to the model who asked.
"Brad!" Akatsuki called to his friend as he approached him.
"Wednesday.." Shuji remembered saying to himself because he didn't know the day today.
"Oh! Coffee, let's eat first, we'll have a break." Akatsuki said to his friend and they walked through the lobby and went to a restaurant to eat.

"Welcome to you here, Lixue Chen in Houston, Texas." Lixue smiled to herself and pulled out the small suitcase she was carrying.
Someone was waiting for her outside the arrival area.
"Mr.?" Lixue approached and called an old man who was holding a placard with her name.
"Gabriel Garcia, Miss Lixue Chen?" Mr. Garcia said.
"I am, are you the one ordered by Mr. Liao to pick up me here?" Lixue asked the old man.
"Mr. Liao, he sent me to pick you up here and take you to the hotel where you are staying." Mr. Garcia answered.

"I have a hotel room reserved here, can I go and get the key or card key here?" Lixue asked the receptionist.
"What is your name?" asked the receptionist.
"Lixue Chen," Lixue answered as the receptionist looked at her.

Godfather Raiden: Good evening!
Lixue put the suitcase aside and lay down on the bed. She just yawned when she felt drowsy. She didn't realize that she fell asleep completely.
The models walked the stage several times. Shuji was the last to walk and Erika was separated from her ex-boyfriend.

"Let's eat first before going home." the gay manager everyone invites.
"I'm going home, manager." called attention Shuji said and he took the bag he was carrying and left.
His fellow models were surprised, those who were left were talking about him while Hyo, Erika, and Akatsuki were just listening to the conversation of the people in front of them.
"Brother!" Miku said to her brother after Shuji got out of the car after he parked it in their garage.
"Papa?" Shuji asked his sister as they walked inside the house.
"He's inside now, bro, he's come home early from work," Miku replied to her brother.
