Cedric watched as his assistant walked out to the balcony.
"Give her a few minutes." Cedric said as he nodded at Ian. "Ian and I will speak to her for a bit. Fernando was a friend to her in a foreign country, to be honest, she is hurting. She just hides it really well."
Capt. Lim and Atty. Mien nodded in understanding.
"Atty. Mien, you seem to have known Fernando quite well?" Adrianna asked. As she offered the young lawyer a cup of coffee.
"Yes." Atty. Mien said. "He was like a father to me after my father passed away."
"Our condolences." Adrianna said with a frown.
"It's alright. He left us a while back, I went through tough times for years and only managed to recover after meeting the kind nurse." Atty. Mien said.
"So Fernando was a nurse?" Eric asked, feigning ignorance.
"Mae didn't tell you?" Capt. Lim asked.
