Merl swore on her boss for rendering a tedious mission. When she first accepted, she considered it's a cakewalk, but she later realized it's more challenging than she thought. With the micro transmitter pushed out of Leena's ear, her boss hadn't paid any attention to her. She knows that's the way things work with him. Her boss could have taken her out of this situation with his influence, but that man is not concerned at all.
As days passed, Merl was finding it hard to manage using the fake identity. On top of that, she got another burden. Nick! He arrived at her doorstep today morning with packed bags.
''Did something happen between you and Leena?'' Merl asked, sharing her fake concern for Nick. Lately, she had observed Leena and Nick are not on good terms. She tried to pry on the matter several times, but Nick would brush off, telling her that it's a small fight. Nick rendering his full attention to her irked Leena? Quite a plausible scenario.
