"What decision?" Sierra's question surprised everyone.
Sierra looked at the three of them individually, but they were silent.
"Gama, tell me what happened?" Sierra demanded an explanation.
"Sierra, nothing important. Gama and I just wanted to solve our problem." Jordan explained.
"Problem? What problem, Gama, what did they do to you?"
"Sierra, why do you seem to be accusing me? I didn't do anything?" Jordan answered Sierra's question back to Gama.
"I asked Gama, not you. Why do you keep answering her?"
"Umm... It's not that Sierra. I just?"
"Just what? And what is this?" Sierra reached for the file in Audie's hand. "Divorce agreement?" Sierra began to understand what was going on as she read the file.
"Mom, how many times have I told you. Gama and I are not getting divorced, no matter what."
"But Sierra, what do you expect from him? Your future will be bleak, no amount of luck that man will give you." Audie assured.
"You mean only Jordan brings luck?" Sierra asked lightly.
"Of course. Look, he's perfect, flawless, regardless of how you look at him."
"Then you should marry him."
"Sierra!"
Audie's hand shot up again, but Gama didn't let her this time. He held Audie's hand firmly.
"I won't let you hurt my wife a second time; I don't care who you are; I'll do much worse if that happens."
Audie winced in pain, trying to release the hand's grip, but the grip was too firm.
"Gama, poor mom, she's in pain, please let go." Sierra pleaded. Only then did Gama release her grip.
Audie tried to move away, frightened by Gama's assertiveness.
"Now, what are you doing here, Jordan? Your presence is not expected here, so leave."
"But, Sierra. I-"
"And about the agreement between you and Gama. From now on, you have to keep your word; look at this: I have proof that I got the project, So as per the agreement, you have to go and stay away from me." Sierra threw the contract file on the table.
Jordan, who didn't believe her, tried to find the truth.
"What, you got one hundred percent of the project?" Jordan stared in disbelief at what was written on the file.
"Yes, as you can see. It's genuine with no fabrication. This time luck is really on my side. So as agreed, please leave here right now!"
Jordan fell silent, walking away in disappointment.
Gama, who saw him, was very happy.
"Congratulations on your success Sierra." Gama said softly.
"Of course, this is all because of you. Although I was disappointed at first, I am satisfied with the result. Thank you Gama." Sierra looked at Gama gently.
"You're welcome. After all, you deserve everything; you've worked hard for this."
"Yeah you're right, so how about we celebrate this."
"Celebrate, what does that mean?"
"No more questions, let's go now." Sierra took Gama's hand and left.
After Gama and Sierra's departure, Giorgio, who looked lethargic, walked down the stairs and plopped on the sofa. He massaged his throbbing temples and started blaming Gama.
"This is all because of Gama. I can't help it, I have to pay him back." Furious at the memory, Giorgio picked up the sofa cushion and threw it. Just then, his attention was drawn to the file lying on the table.
"What is this?" Giorgio picked up the file and started reading it. "A cooperation agreement from the Featherston company. It must be Sierra's. I had to hide it; Sierra has no right to this; only I do." Giorgio left with a hopeful smile.
When Gama finished preparing breakfast the next day, he intended to tell Sierra.
"Sierra, breakfast is ready, hurry up." he pleaded. But Sierra, who looked busy, did not answer.
"What are you looking for, Sierra?" Gama asked.
"I'm looking for the employment agreement, I forgot where I put it. I've looked everywhere but it's not there." She replied as she continued to search.
"Didn't you show it to Jordan last night? You put it on the table and then we left." Gama explained.
Hearing that, Sierra rushed to the living room. She searched again but still couldn't find it.
"Not there either, where is she? Did you see the cooperation agreement file that I delivered last night? I put it here last night. I forgot to pick it up, and now it's not there, ma'am." Sierra couldn't mask her panic.
"I didn't see it, I was too shocked by Gama's rudeness," she explained.
Gama, who heard that, just looked at Audie indifferently.
"Ka Gio, did you see it?"
"No, I didn't see it. My mind was too busy soothing my wife who was upset by your husband's behavior."
Sierra looked at Gama, seeking an explanation for what Giorgio had said.
"Maybe it was Gama who hid it." Barbarian accused.
"Don't just talk, Sis. There's no way Gama could have done that." Sierra disagreed with Barbara's accusation.
"It's possible, she wants to steal your idea and sell it for personal gain."
Giorgio seemed to flinch at Barbara's statement, but he tried to cover it up.
"But I think it was Gio," Gama accused.
"Me? What about me?"
"Just say it, don't pretend you don't know. Besides, how could I do that? How could anyone like me understand something like that? Only Dad, Sierra, and you, Gilo, understand business."
The accusation made his face red; Giorgio did not accept the accusation.
"Watch your mouth Gama, don't let it become a disaster for yourself!"
"I'm not accusing, this is a fact. You'll see for yourself if you don't believe me." Gama assured.
Not knowing who to trust, Sierra decided to leave and try to find a solution to the problem.
Meanwhile, Gama jumped into action, entering the room and contacting Lopiuy.
"Young master, what is it?" Lopiuy's voice sounded so soft.
"Recreate the contract agreement with my wife; the file was lost; someone stole it," Gama ordered.
"Missing? Who did it?"
"I don't know. I'll find out soon."
"Ok, if there is any new news, call me."
"Yes, I understand."
Gama quickly disconnected the phone. And another phone rang. Sierra picked it up immediately.
"Morning, what's up?”
