Testing Fuentes' level of tolerance
Michael's plans were all put in vain because of Nickel. He thought that after being transferred here at ASC, he will now have the chance to get back with Zoey. But because of this nosy guy, everything he planned was all put in vain.
"Mr. Cortez please be informed that you are prohibited to enter the COO's office of the second floor of this building. Please be reminded that you are not an official employee of ASC and there is no need for you to roam around this area. Director Fuentes and the upper management allowed to have you here for the sole reason of helping us in case we are in need but other than that please put away your nose out of ASC business." Officer Liao practiced her dialogue after being scolded by Nickel. She hasn't even arrived yet when things happen. Unaware that this Orb representative will give her the reason to be scolded again, she starts to hate is guts up to the core of her being.
"Why are Alcantara and Fuentes sharing one room? Isn't it in your policy that romantic relationship is not allowed in your company. Why are you letting those two be placed in one room??" drown by his jealousy and grudge towards Nickel, Michael literally place his nose into everything?
"What are you talking about? Zoey and Director Fuentes aren't involved in any relationship aside from being a superior and employee relationship. Hahahaha! And if in the case are what's the case they look good together!" May left his room laughing from all the nonsense Michael is sprouting.
"By the way, the only line available for you is my direct line, address me all your concern and I'll pass it up to Director Fuentes or whom you have a problem with."

Female employees who didn't know who is Michael got easily attracted to him, thinking that he might be a new employee from another department. Others even there to hit on him like asking what is his name, his age, etc. But he only looked at them and say a one-word answer.
When one employee asked him, "Hi, can I call you Mike? I'm Ava. May I ask if this seat is taken?" The lady is pertaining to the front seat of Michael. Although there are still available areas around she still managed to ask if that one is available.
"No, it's not. That is Zoey's place." Nonchalantly said to the lady asking.
"Are you talking about Officer Zoey? Hahaha, dream on boy! Ma'am Zoey doesn't eat here. She and Director Fuentes have their meals delivered every day. Perks they've got from Montana office. I hope you die waiting there, jerk!"
Michael wasn't informed that the girl he's been waiting doesn't eat here. He even bought another serving for Zoey but then again his effort is nothing all along.
He wanted to throw everything away but didn't do it as he is still trying to save himself from the humiliation he had experienced this morning.
"Why is Zoey making everything hard for me??" he said to himself.

The rest of the day went well except that Michael still tried to force himself to enter the Station A. He tried a few times already but always stopped by the guards.
Nickel couldn't take it anymore, so he went out of his office and talk to Michael one on one.
"Mr. Cortez this is a playground for you to fool around please stay in your office and don't disturb my employees." Nickel maintained his stern voice and blank face while talking to Cortez. Cortez is like an open book to him because he easily shows his reaction to every word he says.
"Fuentes, may I ask you? Do everyone who his why are you keeping Zoey away from me and everyone? Dis everyone knows that you guys are together? Hahahahha! Hypocrite!"
"Does everyone here know that you and Zoey are involved in a romantic relationship?? What do you think others will say? Ha?"
"Stop this bullshit because you're just making things complicated for Zoey."
Nickel was waxing his ear using finger after hearing Michael. He even yawned in front of him as if he is telling me that everything he says bores him.
"And so? What is it to you? You and Zoey are done a long time ago. A long, long time ago?? Cannot move on? Is my girlfriend that attractive to you that you cannot keep your dick away from her?" He sarcastically laughs towards Michael. Mocking him for all the things he had done to Zoey.
"Dude may I remind you, Zoey and I are happy with each other. We did not need someone like you to spice up our relationship. Keep your dick away the next time you see us."
"I'm still Zoey's first love…"
"And so? Why? Because first love never dies?? Bullshit!"
Nickel is almost on his limit of tolerance towards this guy that he thinks that any minute now if he will really try to test his patience, he will be liable if is fist will fly towards him.
"Keep him however you want, but remember that Zoey is mine ever since we were kids."
