"So he didn't rob you?" Officer A asks her skeptically. "You passed out because you were tired," she explains. "I'm sorry for causing any trouble. Thank you for checking on me." Noah has never been so nervous. He's an actor. So he can hide it. Daisy, the manager, is doing well. She's been with him for years. She is the finest manager at the entertainment firm. She got them to the station before the police arrived at their residence. She has already drafted an article on the issue. Noah is shown as a hero who assists a girl late at night, drastically changing the scenario. If all goes well, he will be portrayed as a hero. She would publish the piece as soon as the problem had been resolved at the station. Noah was grateful for Daisy's quick thinking and efficiency in handling the situation. He knew that having her by his side was a huge advantage in times like these. He trusted her completely and knew that with her help, he would come out of this situation looking like a hero. Martha nodded, relief evident in her eyes. "Yes, I must have just been exhausted from the long day at work," She received instructions on what to say and what not to say. Manager Daisy promised her money and Noah's autograph. The storegirl agreed and willingly went to the station. She even apologized to Noah for causing trouble. "But here." Officer B points to the handheld screen. "It looks like he's trying to threaten you." "He doesn't threaten me." she adds. "It's not a threatening position." The storegirl confidently defended Noah, explaining that his actions were not meant to be threatening. The policeman's body language seemed relaxed and non-threatening. Officer B nodded in understanding, realizing that appearances could be deceiving. Noah does not know how this storegirl behaves so calmly. He is teetering on the edge of an emotional breakdown. He is one step away from going to jail and ruining his entire career. "Oh, it's not a threatening position," Officer A mutters under his breath. She doesn't believe him at all. "What position is this?" "Manager Daisy, in a professional tone, responds, "There's no need." “He told you he was not threatened or robbed. All misunderstandings are now cleared up. Can we leave?" "No, I don't believe your story." Officer A replied in the same tone. "Miss Martha, what position is this?" "Ah... this..." The shopkeeper shyly looks down. "This is a kissing position. He will kiss me first. I'm spinning because...” “What are you saying?” "Kissing poses?" Noah looked at Martha, confused. What was she trying to say? Did she get it wrong? Why is she talking nonsense now? Did she forget the lines? "We secretly dated. He decided to visit me part-time." "What did you say?" Noah grabs her hand under the table. "What are you saying?" "I know you don't want to reveal our relationship to the world." She holds his hand with both hands and looks at him with tears in her eyes. "But let's not lie to the law, honey. Did you not come to see me because you missed me? You even came yesterday, despite your busy schedule. I know you don't want the world to know how dependent you are. You can't be without me. I know how much you miss the sweetness of our relationship." Noah and manager Daisy decipher Martha's implied threat. The storegirl threatens to reveal his addiction to candy and chocolate if they don't play along. "Yes, they're secretly dating." Manager Daisy gives them a nod. "That's why he paid her a visit like that. When she passed out from overwork, he took her home. He scheduled her appointment with a doctor. This is the doctor's phone number. You can phone him and confirm." The officer gave her a reassuring smile before turning to his partner. "It looks like this was just a misunderstanding after all, no problem. You can go now." Noah and manager Daisy thank the police. Martha smiles and gives a slight bow. She follows Noah and the manager, Daisy. Outside, reporters are already chasing their meat like predators. "Is it true that you abused the shopkeeper?" The reporter asks out loud. "That's not true." Before manager Daisy or Noah could respond, the shop girl grabbed Noah's wrist. She shouts in an emotional voice, "He didn't attack me. He was worried about me. Don't spread lies about him." The storegirl's unexpected outburst catches everyone off guard. Noah looked at her with a strange look on his face. The reporters quickly shift their attention to her, eager to hear more of her side of the story. Noah understands a great truth. Her acting is nothing compared to that of this Martha. He was in complete control of the situation. There is nothing they can do to fix it now. "How is your relationship with him?" Another reporter questions the shopkeeper. She leans over to Noah and gives him an innocent smile. "Honey, are we telling the truth?" Noah looked at her again, worried, knowing she was taking advantage of the situation. Martha takes a deep breath and confidently responds, "Yes, we are telling the truth." "Honey?" The reporter sounded surprised. "Are you guys married?" "Nnno, they are not." Manager Daisy looks like she's about to pass out. "They are just friends." Martha looks visibly disappointed. He directed his gaze toward the reporter. Her voice is sad as she says, "Oh, really? Are we friends, honey?" Reporters have fire in their eyes again as they realize they may have stumbled upon a potential scandal. The tension in the room is palpable as everyone waits for Noah's response. There they have it. The biggest news of the week. Noah shakes his head. He looks at the manager, Daisy, whose forehead is covered in deep lines. He sighs and hugs Martha. He does not even know her name, adding an air of mystery to the encounter. Martha wraps her arms around his waist and gets close for pictures. "She's my girlfriend," Noah declares, surprising everyone present. He leans down and kisses her on the cheek.
